Chapter 742: Don't Kill the Messenger

The sun rises in the east, the sea under the rising sun is sparkling, and ten thousand golden snakes are dancing. Xie Erjian and Cen Lan stood side by side on the deck of the bow of the ship, facing the sea breeze of hunting, they were handsome men and beautiful women, a good couple.

If there is really love at first sight in the world, then Xie Cen and the two should be counted, on the battlefield outside Yuyao County that day, Xie Erjian saw Cen Lan for the first time, a foreign-race girl with bright eyes and bright teeth, and he felt his heart pounding, and because of this, Qi Jingtong, the animal, instigated it, and Xie Lao Er, who had always been above the top, immediately took action.

Cen Lan is a girl who dares to love and hate, and she also has a good impression of Xie Erjian at first sight, so Xie Erjian took the initiative to pursue, and the two hit it off, and soon they were like glue.

Years ago, Xie Erjian expressed his willingness to marry Cen Lan to Xu Jin, Xu Jin was happy to see it, after all, the second brother-in-law is also a lot oldest, because of his marriage, the father-in-law and the mother-in-law have written to ask many times, and Xiaowan Na Nizi is not less worried, so he sent a letter to the father-in-law on the spot to explain the situation.

Xie Erjian was still a little worried that his family would disagree, after all, Cen Lan was a woman of different races, and she had been married, who would have expected that Xie Qing would reply not long ago and ask Xie Erjian to bring people back to his hometown in Jiangxi to meet.

Xie Erjian was overjoyed, and immediately told Cen Lan the news, Cen Lan was also overjoyed, and the two planned to go north to Jiangxi after cleaning up the Westerners, and return to their hometown to meet their parents.

At this time, Cen Lan tilted his head on Xie Erjian's shoulder, and said sweetly: "Brother Jian, what does your mother like the most?" People want to prepare a gift to please her old man. ”

Xie Erjian blurted out with his brain: "Grandson!" ”

Cen Lan's pretty face turned red, and she was about to fight, but at this moment, the sentry on Wangdou sounded an alarm. Xie Erjian and Cen Lan hurriedly took out their clairvoyance to observe on the sea, it was the two of them who were on duty today, and the horseman was not.

Soon, a Western ship with a lion flag appeared on the sea level a few miles away, and a white flag was hung next to the lion flag.

Xie Erjian and Cen Lan glanced at each other strangely, ordered not to fire the cannon for the time being, and observed carefully for a while, and found that there was indeed only one Western-style ship coming, so the two ordered the six-bow clipper to sail out of the port to meet them.

The six-bow clipper sailed away from the port like an arrow, and soon surrounded and controlled the Westerners, and after two cups of tea, the bow of the clipper returned and reported: "General Cen Shen, Xie Guerrilla, the Westerners said that they came to negotiate peace, and asked to see the marshal." ”

"Peace talks?" Xie Erjian couldn't help but show contempt, but now that the problem of the Franc machine cannon has not been solved, there is no harm in talking to the Westerners, at least it can stabilize them temporarily.

So, Xie Erjian and Cen Lan agreed to the entry of the Western ship into the port after a brief exchange, and immediately sent someone into the city to inform Xu Jin.

Soon, the Western-style ship sailed into the harbor outside Nantou City under the close supervision of the six-bow clipper. The bearded Ximen Junxiu boarded the dock, squeezed out an extremely humble smile, stroked Xie Erjian's chest, and said in half-baked Chinese: "In the lower Ximen Junxiu, please greet the Governor, long live the Governor!" ”

Cen Lan laughed out loud, Xie Erjian rolled his eyes angrily, and reprimanded: "I am not the governor, and it is impossible for our governor to go out of the city to meet you." ”

Ximen Junxiu hadn't seen Xu Jin, but he heard that the other party was a young man, so when he saw Xie Erjian, he had a preconceived idea, and then he smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake, what do you two call you?" ”

Xie Erjian said: "This is General Naixen, and I am a guerrilla general Xie Erjian. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be two generals, disrespectful and disrespectful, I am a representative of the peace talks, and there are two generals who have taken me to meet your governor."

"Come with us, but, don't talk nonsense when you see the governor later, long live, in the Ming Dynasty, only the emperor is qualified to say long live, understand?" Cen Lan warned.

"Understood, understood!" Simon nodded busily.

On the territorial issue, Xu Jin's attitude is undoubtedly quite clear and resolute, that is, not to give an inch, every inch of land must be contested, however, now the quality problem of the Francophone cannon has not been solved, since the Westerners want to talk, Xu Jin is naturally willing to make a mistake, at the same time, Xu Jin is also very curious about what kind of peace talks the Westerners will offer, so he received Ximen Junxiu in the second hall of the Yamen.

In the hall, Xu Jin sat on the main seat with a golden sword, Wang Hong, the deputy envoy of the sea road, and the generals sat on both sides, and a group of brocade guards stood majestically on the sword, and there were also two rows of fierce soldiers with loaded guns standing guard in the courtyard outside the door, one by one staring at the eyebrows and protruding eyes, and the murderous spirit was vigorous.

Seeing such a scene, Ximen Junxiu couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp, he cautiously walked to the front of the main seat, made a chest salute, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency the Governor, hello, I am Ximen Junxiu, the negotiator sent by Commander Pires. ”

All the civil officials present couldn't help but wonder, this foreign face with yellow hair, rough like a bear, actually named himself Ximen Junxiu, phew, so shameless.

"Pires? But Pires Weir, who visited my capital two years ago? The official did deal with him. Xu Jin said lightly.

Simon Junxiu said happily: "It turns out that the Governor and His Excellency Pires are old acquaintances, that's great!" ”

Xu Jin interrupted coldly: "Why didn't Pires come to see this official in person?" ”

"I am the special envoy of His Excellency Pires, and if His Excellency Pires is really interested in peace talks, I think His Excellency Pires will be happy to arrange a place to meet with His Excellency the Governor." Simon Junxiu said with a smile.

The purpose of Westerners is to delay time, and the slower they talk, the better, first send a pawn to explore the way, and then send a higher level to talk after a while, so that it is not impossible to talk about it one by one, and drag him for a few months.

It's a pity that the Westerners made a mistake in their wishful thinking, Xu Jin had no intention of peace talks at all, if it weren't for the problem with the Franc machine gun, he would have sent troops to attack Hong Kong Island today. The daily cost of the army is like flowing water, and Governor Xu doesn't want to delay for a moment, of course, it's not impossible to sit down and talk, but at least the Westerners' fleet must be crippled and scrapped first.

Xu Jin smiled lightly: "Ximen Junxiu, right, since you want to negotiate peace, you have to give an explanation first, and the official can also consider it." ”

Seeing Xu Jin's pleasant face, Ximen Junxiu couldn't help but settle down, and said a little proudly: "As long as the Governor agrees to a truce and no longer attacks Hong Kong Island, we will also promise not to plunder the coast of your country, and everyone will live in harmony from now on." ”

As soon as these words came out, the civil officials present all showed anger, and the generals opened their eyes and scolded angrily.

Xu Jin laughed angrily: "This sounds quite fair, but the official has always hated fairness, so you go back and tell Pires to let him wash his head and wait for the official to pick it up." ”

Ximen Junxiu said fearlessly: "Your Excellency the Governor's tone is too much, although our side was at a disadvantage in the first battle yesterday, the losses of your army will not be small, not to mention that we are holding on to the island, how easy is it for your army to capture it?" It is by no means alarmist to say that His Excellency the Governor would pay a heavy price if he insisted on attacking the island. ”

"Fuck your fart, believe it or not, I'll destroy you guys tomorrow." Yu Linsheng said angrily.

Ximen Junxiu said proudly: "It's not a boast, the fortifications on Hong Kong Island are as strong as ...... That soup is the same (solid soup), and it has enough food for three years, so even if you are given half a year, you may not be able to conquer it. ”

Xu Jin naturally didn't believe that there was food on the island for three years, but it shouldn't be false that the island had enough food, but there was a bird for this, and he didn't have to wait until the ammunition was consumed. Westerners came across the ocean, and it was their Achilles' heel that the backup could not keep up, and if it was at any cost, Xu Jin was sure to take Hong Kong Island within three days.

Xu Jin didn't have the intention of peace talks, since this envoy was so arrogant, he naturally didn't bother to waste his expression with him, so he waved his hand and shouted: "Come on, take it!" ”

Jin Yiwei had already seen that this foreign fan was not pleasing to the eye, and under Xu Jin's order, Han Dajie immediately led someone to pounce on Ximen Junxiu.

Ximen Junxiu was shocked: "Oh, no, no, no, your Ming Kingdom is a state of etiquette, and you can't do this if you don't cut it off." ”

Xu Jin was a little amused, and said lightly: "We are sure that we will not kill it, but it does not mean that we will not call it, and drag it down to play thirty boards." ”

Han Dajie said with a smile: "You have an order, the handsome man has an order, drag it down and play thirty boards, Westerners have thick skin, brothers work hard, make some effort." ”

A group of brocade clothes smiled and escorted Ximen Junxiu out of the door, and the latter knew that he was afraid, and shouted in horror: "Your Excellency the Governor, if it is not appropriate, you can continue to talk, pay the rent, how about we pay the rent to lease Hong Kong Island?" ”

"Shut up, is it okay to rent your mother-in-law to Lao Tzu for a day? Damn, hit me hard! Han Dajie kicked Ximen Junxiu's face, and his mouth was suddenly full of blood.

Immediately afterwards, a group of brocade clothes ripped off Ximen Junxiu's pants like wolves, and hit thirty boards firmly, so that the flesh and blood of this thing were blurred, and they couldn't even tell where the chrysanthemums were.

After the fight, Jin Yiwei carried the dying Ximen Junxiu out of the city and threw it back on their ship, and the Western sailors on the ship were so frightened that they quickly took anchor and left, and fled back to Hong Kong Island in embarrassment.

"Your Excellency Pires, they really don't kill it, but my ass ......!" When Simon Junxiu saw Pires, he fainted in pain before he could finish his sentence.

Pires' face was gloomy, he originally wanted to use negotiations to drag down the Ming army, but he didn't expect the other party to be fooled at all, and now it seems that he can only fight hard, so he immediately ordered to strengthen the vigilance and wait for the Ming fleet to attack.
