Three hundred and fortieth chapters from suspicion
"Surnamed Gang?" Wu Shigong was a little surprised. Do foreigners have this surname? Even Chinese people rarely hear of this surname.
Seeing Wu Shigong was a little strange, Gonzalez explained: "My full name is Juan Gonzalez. In fact, according to the rules of our hometown, my last name should be Gonzalez."
Now Wu Shigong understood. It turned out to be Gonzalez! This seemed like a person's name! If Gonzalez knew what Wu Shigong was really thinking, he would definitely be pissed to death.
But at this time Wu Shigong's bad taste came back. Why should we accommodate those foreigners and not let them give them smooth Chinese names? In modern Wu Shigong, I see those white-collar workers speaking their English proudly
When it comes to names, I don't like them. The most annoying thing is that there is an artist who participated in the Spring Festival Gala, and his English name is actually "Little Shenyang".
So Wu Shigong immediately said with finality: "Your last name is Gang. Mr. Gang, where are you from?"
"General, we are officers of the French Air Force." Gonzalez said while bowing. After the kowtow just now, he did not dare to neglect the etiquette.
"Fo Langji people? Then how did you come to Dengzhou City?" Wu Shigong didn't know about Sun Yuanhua's hiring of Western officers, so he asked this question.
"Dear General, we were invited by Minister Sun Yuanhua to teach firearms to your regiment. More than a year ago, we unfortunately encountered the rebellion of your regiment. As soldiers with a sense of honor, we
At that time, we fought with the rebels in Dengzhou City along with Minister Sun Yuanhua. A total of twelve of us died in the battle, including our commander, Captain Teixeira Correa. Later, due to our defeat, we surrendered to the rebels.
.Until now, I have been rescued by you, General. Here, on behalf of my colleagues, I would like to thank the General again for his generous help."
"Are you all French soldiers?" Wu Shigong was immediately overjoyed. "Then you must be very proficient in the use of firearms?" Wu Shigong suddenly felt as if he had picked up a treasure. In his heart, modern Western cannons
A huge ship with sharp weapons, the impression was so profound.
"Dear General, we are here to teach the use of firearms." At this point, Gonzalez couldn't help but show a proud expression on his face.
"That's great. Since I have saved you, then teach all the knowledge you know about the Western army to our Runing camp." Wu Shigong said without politeness. It should be said that he was not polite at all.
He ordered politely. Wu Shigong doesn't know how to play the trick of visiting the thatched cottage three times. It's better to give the order directly like this. Anyway, these Folangji people don't dare to resist. Now they are all in Wu Shigong's hands.
Woolen cloth.
After hearing this, Gonzalez made eye contact with his main officers. Then Gonzalez gritted his teeth and said to Wu Shigong: "It's not that we don't appreciate it. It's just because we have been away from home for so long that we all want to go home early."
We need to go back. But we are also grateful to you, General, for your rescue. Let’s do it. Can we stay for only a month to train and guide the adults? After that, we must go home.”
Gonzalez's request is quite reasonable, so Wu Shigong understands it very well. After being detained by the rebels for so long, it is very reasonable to go home and reunite with his relatives early. But Wu Shigong also thinks that the Runing camp will benefit from these
Franji wanted to learn more from the soldiers, so he discussed with Gonzalez: "One month is too short, just three months. As soon as three months is up, I will put you back."
Gonzalez and other Portuguese people suddenly showed joy on their faces. Although they could not return home immediately, there was hope after all. However, at this time, the profit-seeking nature of Westerners took over again.
The leading Portuguese man signaled Gonzalez with his wink. After receiving the wink, Gonzalez hesitated for a while, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he said to Wu Shigong:
"Dear General. At that time, Minister Sun Yuanhua promised to pay each of us fifty taels of silver a month. However, due to the rebellion of your army, the commission was not paid. Moreover, ten of us were imprisoned.
It has been two months, so there are already fifteen months of unpaid commissions. Moreover, the pensions of twelve officers including Captain Teixeira Correa who died in the battle have to be paid separately. This was all related to your country at the time.
Minister Sun Yuanhua has a contract. Please tell the general to your court to pay it as soon as possible."
After saying these words, Gonzalez looked at Wu Shigong with a guilty conscience, fearing that he would be angry. Gonzalez's quotation must have been a lot of exaggeration, because at that time, Sun Yuanhua, in addition to hiring Gonzalez and other officers,
In addition to this price, the fees of some other people are far lower than this price. There are even several technicians among these Portuguese who came with the Western artillery purchased by Sun Yuanhua and did not need to pay any compensation at all.
But now that these contracts have disappeared, Gonzalez wants to boldly fish in troubled waters. Anyway, Wu Shigong is asking for help from them now, so why not seize the opportunity to rip him off? However, after all, the kowtow just now was given to Gonzalez.
Reis and the others had a huge psychological shadow, so he also watched Wu Shigong's reaction carefully, for fear that Wu Shigong would be angry. Therefore, it can be said that kowtowing has some special effects in some cases.
Wu Shigong's face really darkened. At this stage, no matter who dares to take advantage of Wu Shigong's money, it would be like stepping on Wu Shigong's tail. Not to mention foreigners, even aliens are no exception.
But Wu Shigong was afraid that his failure to agree would lead to the departure of those Fo Langji people. That would be a big loss. But this matter could not be reported to the court openly. According to Wu Shigong's understanding of the Ming Dynasty court, with Chongzhen
The emperor and the ministers of the imperial court are so stupid that they are all trying to save face and try to pretend to be the emperor's goods. They will definitely agree to the request of these Folangji people. But in this way, Wu Shigong will definitely not be able to keep these people.
.
Seeing Wu Shigong's frown, Yang Rusong also started to make some progress. He immediately shouted: "You people, you are thinking of getting money after surrendering. You don't have to lose the face of our soldiers, so you have the nerve to talk to us adults."
Said." Immediately, all the guards in the tent showed contempt.
But after these Portuguese people were scolded by Yang Rusong, they didn't take it seriously. This is also the cultural difference between Eastern and Western soldiers. Western soldiers feel that surrendering after being in desperate situations is not a loss of military honor. If it hadn't been for them
Being in an away game, these Portuguese people might even retort.
But after all, Gonzalez was under heavy psychological pressure, and when he saw the atmosphere in the big tent was also very heavy, he took a step back and proactively said to Wu Shigong: "Of course, in order to thank the respected general for his rescue, we are here to serve the general."
Those three months were unpaid to express our gratitude."
But Wu Shigong didn't even want to pay a tael of silver. But if the current situation went on, it would reach a deadlock. So Wu Shigong coughed, changed the subject and asked Gonzalez: "I have always known that you are Francoji people.
, but where exactly is the Kingdom of Franji?"
This is why Wu Shigong did not ask in detail. If Wu Shigong knew that those Portuguese people were hired by Sun Yuanhua from Macau, then he would never ask this question.
However, how can one verbally point out the location of a country? After hearing Wu Shigong's question, Gonzalez also showed a troubled expression.
Wu Shigong also suddenly understood. He stood up from behind the case with a smile, walked around to Gonzalez, pulled out his samurai sword, and drew the map of Europe that Wu Shigong remembered on the ground.
Thanks to the modern cramming education, the map of Europe drawn by Wu Shigong is quite standard. After finishing the drawing, Wu Shigong pointed to the big countries in modern Europe and asked: "France? Is it Britain? France? Germany? Or is it Germany?"
Russia?..." As he asked, Wu Shigong pointed at the location of that country on the map with his samurai sword and asked Gonzalez.
However, no matter how accurate the map drawn by Wu Shigong is, it will not be very accurate when it is drawn on the ground. In addition, Gonzalez and the others were standing facing Wu Shigong, and the map they were looking at was reversed. They also heard Wu Shigong say:
He picked up new terms one after another, so in his nervousness, Gonzalez had no idea what Wu Shigong was doing while pointing and drawing on the ground.
There is also a problem with Wu Shigong's inquiry. He was talking about England, France, etc., but there was no such country name at that time. If Wu Shigong called him "England" or "France", Gonzalez might be able to understand what Wu Shigong meant by pronunciation.
.
Wu Shigong asked more and more impatiently. He thought in his mind: "Why don't these Francois even know about these big countries in Europe? Are they all Europeans of the Sanlu brand?"
Wu Shigong began to look at the faces of Gonzalez and others. At first glance, his suspicion became more serious. Although these Fo Langji people looked like white people, he did not notice that these Fo Langji people were all white.
Are there any blondes among them?
Wu Shigong didn't know that there is a huge racial difference between southern Europeans and northern Europeans in Europe. You must know that although southern Europeans are also white, their stature is shorter, their skin is darker, and their eyes and hair are basically the same color.
Black or brown, their appearance is closer to that of Chinese people. This is just like purebred Cantonese and Shandong people, although their appearance is very different, they are both Chinese.
But Wu Shigong didn’t know! The images of Westerners that swayed in his mind were all the images of models with swaying hair in Lux advertisements. Wu Shigong didn’t doubt whether these people were indeed Westerners, and the skin color of Caucasian people must also be seen.
came out. But because these white people did not know the big countries in Europe, Wu Shigong also doubted whether they were really Francois.
Along with this suspicion, Wu Shigong also doubted whether these Westerners were Western soldiers. And sensing Wu Shigong's suspicious eyes, Gonzalez must have known that Wu Shigong's finger drawing on the ground just now meant that he had important questions to answer. .But Gonzalez really didn’t know what Wu Shigong was doing! So at this time, Gonzalez felt cold sweat break out from his back. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, novels are better Update faster!
