Chapter 693: Colonial Invasion of Overseas Kings(1/2)
When Carlo opened his eyes again, he was already in a pure white room. [.\nCOM Situ's updated chapters are the most complete and comprehensive, and the error-free content is repaired in the most timely manner. Due to caching reasons, browser access is recommended.\nCOM official website
】
He knew that this was Daming's medical clinic.
The strong smell of medicine flowed at the tip of his nose, and Carlo felt extremely weak in his body, as if his whole body had been hollowed out.
He knew it was the effect of datura flower poison.
'I don't know if the plan is successful or not.'
Carlo recalled the scene before he fainted in his mind.
He saw the Siwa tribesmen falling one after another, and then he felt a strong sense of suffocation.
Because he was the least poisoned, he was the last one to fall.
When he fell, he saw the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers coming over.
At this time, the door was opened.
A man wearing the costume of a Ming doctor came in.
"You're awake, how do you feel?" the doctor asked.
Carlo opened his mouth to answer, but felt a burning pain in his throat.
Seeing this, the doctor poured a glass of water from the side and slowly fed it to Carlo.
Carlo felt much better after drinking water.
"Thank you, how are my people?" Carlo asked with difficulty.
He urgently wanted to know what the situation was like now.
Is it similar to what you thought?
"Sorry, you are the only one who was poisoned this time."
"The toxicity of this poison is too severe, and we were not able to find a solution immediately. To be honest, we find it incredible that you can wake up."
"But toxicity will have a great impact on your body. You should take a good rest during these days."
The doctor's answer made Carlo secretly relieved.
I'm just glad but not very happy.
After all, this is tantamount to saying that all the clan members died in his own hands.
The cautious Carlo didn't ask any questions. The doctor told him to have a good rest and left.
Someone later brought plain food such as porridge, so that Carlo, who had just woken up, would not starve to death again.
Just as Carlo speculated, the death of the Siwa family caused great disturbances.
First of all, this was during Taisun's review ceremony, and even the wrong inference at that time almost led to the interruption of the ceremony.
The second is international security incidents.
In any case, with so many people dead, especially if they were poisoned, it was already considered a major incident.
This will also have an impact on Ming's reputation and the business environment.
The key is that this matter has attracted the attention of His Highness Taisun.
"The only thing I'm glad about is that His Majesty the Grand Sun didn't give a time to solve this case, otherwise we would all have been punished."
"Speaking of it, this incident is really strange. So many detectives have been dispatched, but no useful clues have been found yet."
"By the way, Lao Li, our application for interrogation of Nasivakaro has been approved by the summit."
Hong Kong Island.
Yu Dong walked on the street, looked around, and complained to Lao Li next to him.
Lao Li nodded: "It has been approved. You can go there tomorrow."
"But the time given to us is only one stick of incense."
Yu Dong was a little unhappy: "What use can half a stick of incense do? It's not enough for us to discuss the matter in detail."
Lao Li said helplessly: "These are all regulations from above. You also know that Sivakaro is a key figure now. It would be good if we can have a stick of incense. I heard that there are only seven groups approved in total including us."
, everyone is the same, just be content."
In fact, Zhu Ying didn't really care whether the eucalyptus could be broken.
Judging from the current situation, the possibility of a vendetta is relatively high, and Zhu Ying feels that this candidate may also be from the Ayutthaya Dynasty.
Maybe it was to save the face of the Ayutthaya Dynasty, or maybe it was to use their lives to make amends to the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Ying's guess is already very close to the truth.
It is difficult to imagine such a situation as suicide.
Those poisons are not fake.
According to the imperial physician, this kind of poison is extremely severe and is basically difficult to cure.
The only person who survived may be because he was in better physical condition.
But even so, the organs are still failing.
This is tantamount to saying that even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will be a useless person in the future.
Under such circumstances, no matter who it was, it was difficult to imagine that the source of the poison could be themselves.
The direction was wrong from the beginning, how could it possibly produce results?
As for the reputation of Ming Dynasty, it actually doesn’t have much impact.
News of the incident was not uploaded to the newspaper. Many people only knew that a riot had occurred, but did not know the specific details.
If the government doesn't disclose it, do the people still dare to go to the government office to eat melon?
This is obviously unrealistic.
Besides, these days, the death of dozens of foreign businessmen is really not that big of a deal. A random storm at sea may kill more than just that many people.
If you handle it in a low-key manner, no one will care about it after a while.
The current business situation in Ming Dynasty can be said to be a truly civilized world. At least in Ming Dynasty, there is no need to worry too much about robbery.
In other countries, if there is no strong force to protect one's goods, it is common for them to be robbed.
Considering that Ming Dynasty is a country of civilization and etiquette.
In addition to expressing sympathy for the Siwa family being poisoned, they can also provide a certain degree of policy compensation.
Of course, the punishment that has been issued to the Ayutthaya Dynasty cannot be withdrawn.
As the Ming Dynasty navy assembled in the Guangzhou area has headed for the Malacca Strait area.
The four chief managers of Ming Dynasty's ocean trade have been selected.
One of them is naturally Guan Xianghai, the former envoy of the Provincial Government.
There are three others selected by Uncle Zhang from various major families.
The current structure of the Daming Ocean Trading Chamber of Commerce is mainly about foreign investment with the four major managers.
Each person has a warship, equipped with considerable armed guards.
Responsible for investment and development in the Nanyang region.
After the gathering, they were received by Zhu Ying in person.
"Meet His Highness Taisun."
In the newly built Hong Kong Yamen lobby, four people saluted respectfully.
Zhu Ying nodded: "No courtesy, I will give you a seat."
"The Chamber of Commerce is mainly for the private sector, so everyone can relax a little bit."
Zhu Ying's eyes scrutinized the four people.
In addition to Guan Xianghai, the other three people came from the three major families of Li, Qian and Zhao respectively.
Of course, these three people are not direct descendants of any family, but the bosses of major families, and they have created huge benefits for their respective families.
It is precisely because of their outstanding talents that they were selected to serve as stewards of the Chamber of Commerce.
Be the steward, not the shopkeeper.
The concept here is completely different.
After leaving the Ming Dynasty, the power in the hands of the four people increased rapidly.
The most important one is that they can summon the help of Ming's troops outside the country.
For example, the naval forces heading to the Strait of Malacca.
Each of them will have a hundred guards under his command, and will also have the power to assemble local armed forces.
