1180 National Treasure Like Porcelain
Bai Layi's wealth was just a little appetizer for the Russian expeditionary force to eat along the way, in line with the principle of having dates and not dates, plus a little temptation to provide information to Molière, so that Stefansky and many Russian ** officials chose to modify the original advance plan.
But I didn't expect that the gains brought by this small revision were so great, and the results were unimaginable.
"A total of 10,930 ounces of gold, 2,060 kilograms of silver, twelve boxes of various wonderful oriental treasures, and 136 pairs of fine porcelain ......"
"Wait!" Molière couldn't help but laugh when he heard the Russian logistics officer read this, "Fine porcelain, bring it and let me take a look......" When the so-called fine porcelain was placed in front of Molière, the grimace knight's waist couldn't straighten up with a smile, and the Russian captains around him looked angry.
"That's rude, you pervert!, what are you laughing at?" Captain Denya slammed the table and stood up.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Molière smiled enough and waved his hand to apologize to everyone, "I built yì, these so-called fine porcelain, you should throw them into the sea, if you really want it, I think you should also reward those ordinary soldiers...... This loot is not worthy of your identity at all!"
"The English name of China, as we all know, is porcelain! The most famous treasure of this country is porcelain in the first place, and there is no doubt that it is even more famous ......than silk and tea."
"In the Middle Ages, we Europeans didn't know how porcelain was made, we thought it was a natural jade, but how did the beautiful pattern on the jade get there? No one knows, the whole of Europe can't figure out this secret!"
"It wasn't until later that we learned from the Arabs that porcelain was originally made of clay, but we Europeans still don't understand how to burn it so beautifully......
"Later, the Portuguese got the secret recipe for kaolin-fired porcelain from Japan, and it was only after that that Europe really learned how to make white porcelain, and the things that were fired before were just rubbish......"
Not to mention that the court education in France is really the best in Europe, and it is definitely no accident that Paris has become the fashion capital of Europe.
Stefansky, as well as Vinnya and other captains, can be regarded as high-level intellectuals, but they are completely unfamiliar with these small historical allusions and little secrets hidden in luxury goods.
It's a bit like a cannibal from a primitive tribe in Africa who accidentally stumbled into Galeries Lafayette in Paris, completely unaware of what was inside.
Grimace Molière used easy-to-understand and humorous language to tell all the details of the entry of porcelain into Europe, many of which are hidden stories that ordinary people simply cannot know.
Who would know that during the Kangxi period, there were French missionaries who went to Jingdezhen as spies to steal the formula? Who can know that the secret of the Japanese to get the kaolin formula is also due to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasion of Korea, and it was those retreating Japanese samurai who kidnapped a large number of Korean porcelain craftsmen, which opened the history of Japan's use of kaolin to burn porcelain.
The Russians who listened to these little secrets were fascinated, and they have been like this since ancient times, and the barbarians have always laughed at the weakness of the civilized world, but at the same time they laughed at it and envied the prosperity of the civilized world.
In the bitter cold land of Russia, people imagine that the life in Paris is paradise, and the iron cavalry warriors of the Liao and Jin countries laugh at the nests of the Song people, but they always dream back to the prosperity of Bianjing more than once.
Today, Molière shows some of the common topics of conversation among the Parisian high society, but the opulence of this has made these Russian captains envious.
"You say that the Emperor actually owns a porcelain palace, a palace made of porcelain?" asked Vinnya in surprise.
Molière nodded, "It was built by the great Sun King Louis XIV, and it is called the Palais de China...... In fact, it is part of the Palace of Versailles, which is filled with a large number of porcelain from China, as well as porcelain imitated in France at that time!"
Molière pointed to the so-called fine porcelain in front of him, suddenly stood up, grabbed a porcelain vase, and smashed it on the deck of the ship, "This kind of garbage is also worthy of being called a fine product?
"The faint glaze like the clouds exudes a precious light, the white carcass is as delicate as the breasts of a pure saint, and the paintings under the glaze show the beautiful scenery like heaven......"
"Pale cyan porcelain, multicolored porcelain, glittering porcelain...... My God, if you had ever seen a treasure like that, you would have thrown all this rubbish porcelain on the ground and smashed it like I did!"
The Russians are stupid to listen to "you, you...... You fought in that war nine years ago?"
"Unfortunately, I didn't attend, but I had the privilege of seeing the best trophies in Paris, which were kept by the Chinese emperors...... Not only porcelain, but also more gold, silver, jade, calligraphy and paintings, etc., are all priceless top treasures!"
"Does anyone still doubt my intelligence? Does anyone still question the intelligence of the Golden Island? In just one Bailaitun reclamation area, we bought more than 10,000 ounces of gold and two tons of silver, which is just a small port relying on the agricultural area!"
"Dear gentlemen, distinguished captains! Do you still want to question my intelligence? There are no less than thirty cantonment areas like this in the South Seas! You can imagine how much money Xiao Lotian has in his hands!"
"What else do you question! rushed up to rob Xiao Letian's family, as long as he lost this wealth, Xiao Letian would never have a future even if he didn't die!"
Stefansky and the captains stood up excitedly, "Yes, what you said is right, more than 10,000 ounces of gold did not move me...... What frightened me was the 120,000 tons of rice, which was simply terrifying! Xiao Letian's financial strength was already comparable to that of a medium-sized empire!"
"I have no doubt about the information of the Golden Isle at this moment!Gentlemen, let's fill this cup!"
"Go north! Grab all the gold of the Chinese and give it to the great tsar! Ulla! Ulla!"
With the burning Bai Layi as the background, the Russian fleet turned around and headed north, preparing to cross the South China Sea and attack the Taiwan Strait and kill the mysterious Tibetan gold island of their target.
The figure of the robber disappeared into the sea, and the Chinese guards in the Dudong Tun Reclamation District and other areas began to counterattack to rescue Bai Layi like crazy, and all the indigenous monkeys were slaughtered along the way, and the Chinese revenge came quickly and ruthlessly.
But the monkeys were underestimated by the monkeys, who fled into the rainforest with their blood-stained riches, enough silver coins and treasures to eat for ten years.
Thousands of Chinese soldiers rushed to the Bailayi grain depot, they were forced back by the raging fire, the flames carried a strong grain fragrance into the sky, and the accumulation of five years of hard work was completely wiped out at this moment.
Countless soldiers knelt on the ground and wailed, and the fanatical soldiers began to recruit death squads, "Cry a fart! Take revenge! Those Rakshasas have a prime minister to clean up, but the blood debt of the indigenous monkeys, we have to pay for it ourselves!"
"Gather all the young and strong, distribute weapons, counterattack...... Counterattack now!"
The great Borneo Chinese uprising, which changed the history of Nanyang, began today.
