Chapter 113 When Colonialism Meets Anti-imperialist Little Experts
"Crack and bang bang bang bang bang"
When the springboard was placed from the Great Oriental to the Haoxi Pier, a sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums came together.
Zhu Hezang could be regarded as the visiting colonists of the British East India Company. In addition to preparing them with the distillation of mandala essential oil and artificially aged rum, he also held a decent welcome ceremony for them.
Not only were firecrackers ringing, gongs and drums on the pier, but also bearded men with cloth clothes and scarves stood, all of whom were pressing the hilt of their swords with their hands, majestic.
Moreover, several warehouses next to the dock were emptied early in the morning. Now the warehouses are filled with large tables, and the tables are covered with Chaozhou cold and bottles of high-quality Mingchun wine!
A mat was also set up on the open space outside the warehouse, and cold dishes were being delivered to the young soldiers who were temporarily guest-starring the waiter.
In order to prevent the destruction of Dutch spies who hated the English, Zhu Hezang also arranged a total of thousands of Jinyi's personal hammer throwers around the West Pier. After a round of military reform, there were only three troops that formed Jinyi's personal hammer throwers, cavalry and artillery.
Among them, hammer throwers are the main force. In addition to the standard grenade hammer, hammer throwers will also be equipped with three types of weapons, including long spears, sword cards and turtledove-footed muskets.
In addition, they will organize a group of sixty people, each of which includes twenty "hammer soldiers" with long spears, twenty "hammer soldiers" with knife cards and twenty hammer soldiers with turtledove feet muskets. In order to facilitate training and management, these three "hammer soldiers" will form a deputy leader separately, rather than a mixed group.
The cavalry of Jinyi's personal army was also equipped with sixty cavalry one leader, and everyone was equipped with grenade hammers, which was considered a hammer throwing cavalry? In addition to equipping hammers, Jinyi's personal army was also equipped with carriage rifles, sabers and shields. Some "masters" who can pull bows and shoot archers on horseback are also equipped with bows and arrows.
In addition, most of the Jinyi personal cavalry only have a horse in Yunnan to ride. Therefore, their main tactics are to launch short attacks to attack enemies who are dizzy by grenade hammers!
The artillery of Jinyi's personal army was not equipped with the Red Cannon or General Cannon, but the Zhuge Machinery Cannon and a small mortar cannon called a hammer throwing cannon. Both of these weapons were used to fire sweet gunpowder explosives!
In addition, all the sweet gunpowder in Jinyi's personal army was also prepared by artillery soldiers.
After winning the battle in Xiushuixi, the safety of Jieyang Island was temporarily guaranteed, and Zhu San and his son transferred some of their troops to Dahao.
Now the Jinyi personal army gathered to reach Hao are the sixteen leaders "hammer soldiers", two leaders "artillery" and two leaders "cavalry", a total of twenty leaders, about one thousand two hundred people.
These 1,200 people have been transferred to Lin Ahu's Jinyi Jun Nan Town, and almost all of them have been dispatched today.
The cavalry was responsible for putting on Confucius' uniforms and grandly welcoming visitors to Britain on the dock. The artillery was a nimble young soldier, responsible for guest appearances. Everyone also brought mandala essential oil and waited for Zhu Hetian to add it to the Chaozhou rum that the visitors drank!
The Hammer Soldier played the guest role of "Knife and Axeman". He waited for Zhu Hetong to throw the cup as a trumpet, and then rushed to capture the imperialist colonists!
At the same time, they are also responsible for seizing the Great Oriental armed merchant ship. Of course, the sailors of the British East India Company who stayed on the Great Oriental will also get a top-quality rum with a small amount of mandala essential oil!
Well, Zhu Hezhang, a young anti-imperialist, has put a Hongmen banquet for Charlie Goff, Smith, and Jones, and other veteran colonialists!
As for the purpose, it was mainly to vent its anger for the Asian, African and Latin people enslaved by the British colonists, and robbed the armed merchant ship of the Great Oriental to sneak attack the Portuguese Macau.
His people have to go to the Macau pier to sneak attack Macau castles!
Otherwise, if Qiu Hui's small wooden boats would not be able to withstand the bombardment of the Portuguese with twelve-pound cannons!
"Wil Carmen, Will Carmen"
Seeing Charlie Goff and two gorgeously dressed Westerners walk down the springboard, Zhu Heyan welcomed him enthusiastically, and talked about the "old English" he just asked about Ji Dabao, of course he could speak English. However, the old English in the 17th century and later English are very different in pronunciation and grammar. Old English is more primitive, with fewer vocabulary and simple grammar. New English is more complicated and has so many vocabulary.
So Zhu Heying learned a few words of "old English" from Ji Dabao on the dock today. What he said now is very straightforward, and he really has "language talent"!
After greeting the three British people in "Old English", Zhu Heying called Ji Dabao as "translator" Charlie Goff could speak Chinese, but Smith and Jones could not speak, and Zhu Heying could not hear their "Old English", so he could only rely on translation.
Of course, he would also say a few words at critical moments, such as after a greeting between the two sides, he enthusiastically grabbed Charlie Goff's wrist and smiled and said in old English: "Dog Rabbit Army Guest, Dog Rabbit Army Guest Lethys Dog!"
Seamen in the 17th century were all drunkards. Fresh water preservation is a big problem these days, so seamen who have been wandering on the sea for many years have to replace water with wine. Moreover, because there is no pasteurization method, low-alcohol wine is prone to rot. They usually drink rum of forty or fifty degrees as water!
So now when they hear that there are "military tourists", they all get addicted to alcohol, and they are not suspected of being cheated. They all follow Zhu and Jin and go to the "bar" they have prepared long ago and haven't walked far. They smell the rich fragrance of rum.
The fragrance of this rum is basically made of, and the ability to stir the aromatics and extract aromatic essential oils in Zhuheji is definitely the best in the world in the 17th century today!
So when a group of British alcoholics smelled the smell, they walked faster and almost trotted into the seat.
Charlie Goff, Smith, Jones, and Ji Dabao all entered the main table in a warehouse with Zhu Heying.
The table was already full of wine and food, and a large sea bowl was placed. This bowl was used to drink strong rum. If you drink small amounts of alcohol, you wouldn't need mandala essential oil!
As soon as the guest and host finished their seats, Zhu Heying didn't say much, but just said generously to Su Zhanshan, the good disciple who was serving him around him, said: "Zhanshan, have a good wine!"
This is a signal!
The so-called good wine is a high-quality rum with mandala essential oil!
"Get orders!"
Su Zhanshan responded, and then came up with two subordinates, one of them, holding a big jar of wine. He personally took charge of the Scar Rong who accompanied Zhu Hezhi, and his deskmate, Zhuge Military Advisor, Eunuch Pang, and Ji Dabao, who poured wine, and of course it was a normal version of rum without adding ingredients. The other young soldier prepared rum and gave a bowl of rum to the three foreigners.
Zhu Hezang stood up, picked up the bowl of sea, and shouted: "Cheers, Cheers! Chez!"
As he said that, he came and did it first!
When the three foreigners saw Zhu and the monk so generous, they certainly didn't pretend to be gentle. They all picked up their own bowls and started drinking them in big gulps.
There is nothing to say about this wine. Zhu Heyan followed the standard of Cuban black rum. The wine tastes so mellow and rich. It is definitely the best rum. It is just a bit popular when you drink it.
