C114 The Rabbit Dies the Dog Is Cooked and the Bird Is Hidden away

Xiao Letian scolded people harshly, and Jin Changsen felt wronged after getting scolded. Xiao Letian was purely using his knowledge of epoch to suppress people, this was truly a little unfair.

However, although Xiao Letian's scolding was very fierce, the reasoning he had stated was indeed true. Why did the Japan secretly control the glume Kingdom for more than two hundred years without destroying its ancestral temple? Was it really Japanese's sudden discovery or his inability?

The answer was definitely no, but the key point was still the benefits. The ancient glume Kingdom was recognized by the Mainland as a country on the sea. Although it was small and weak, it still had the right to pay tribute and trade.

The Shimadzu needed this name too much, because when the Dechuan's Mu Estate rose to prominence, the Shimadzu had already stood in the wrong line and became Enemy of the Dechuan's Mu Estate. Fortunately, the glume Kingdom was just south of Shimadzu, and glume Kingdom was still so small and weak.

Using military means to control King of the Glazed Ball, and taking control of the right to trade in glume, in the span of a few hundred years, the Shimadzu accumulated a large amount of wealth, which was the main reason why the glume Sect Temple was maintained.

But now, the business position of the glume Kingdom was on the verge of collapse. The customs of the Daqing had been forcefully opened by the foreigners, so naturally, the trade with the foreign nationals had left the stage of history.

The business transaction sounded complicated, but Xiao Letian knew very well that this was just a big purchase led by Government. The main reason was that they were a part of the Mainland civilization and the Ming and Qing dynasties had closed the door to free trade, so they chose to trade between the Government s and the Merchant ships s in between the Mainland s and the foreign countries. If they did not have the golden seal for the trade, then the Ming and Qing dynasties would have the name of capturing and killing. Transactions without the right to regulate trade are tantamount to smuggling.

Right now, the two English and French s had already used their cannon to blast open the Daqing's closed customs. Western Trader, who did not have the right to trade, had flocked over.

It was against this background that the status of the glume Kingdom became lower and lower. The sugars, corals, pearls and other goods that were a specialty of the glume were replaced by even better goods of the Nanyang. Other than gold, silver and other precious metals, the rest of the Daqing s did not need them.

Of course, there was another very important reason, and that was the development of the maritime Technology. In 1865, the scissor boat trade had already spread far and wide. This extremely fast sailing ship had already broken free from the constraints of the wind, and had truly become the king of the sea trade.

The speed of scissor boat could reach up to 20 knots, and after crossing over Pacific Ocean, it would only take 30 days to reach London from Guangdong Province, and it would only take less than 100 days to reach there. Furthermore, at this time, the Merchant ships's tonnage was getting bigger and bigger, so the number of Sailor that was needed was decreasing instead.

For example, Captain Corsica's Lucky was preparing to return to Europe from Tanggu with a load of pig hair. The fresh water and food that he brought along with him when he set off was enough for him to travel nonstop to Calcutta or even the Arabian Peninsula. This kind of powerful endurance was unimaginable by the navigators of the Europe during the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, Trader and the rest of the Portugal were riding a simple sailboat as they slowly headed towards Asia on Earth's wind zone. Almost every big Port had to dock there to replenish their food and fresh water, so it could be said that the Naga Harbor at that time was a must stop Port for all the travelling Merchant ships.

"Foolish person, do you know what is called the progress of the epoch?" Xiao Letian said contemptuously to Jin Changsen and those pro-Japanese with ashen faces, "Naga Harbor did not have the support of industry and agriculture. In the past, when the Ocean Merchant ships's tonnage was small, your special products of sugar, coral, pearls, and earthenware could all be filled to the brim with a few freighter. But now? Look at the big tonnage freighter that the foreigners have built, do you have enough goods for me to take a trip to? "

"You can't make money here, and there's not much use for it as a supply port. To borrow your words, that tyrant is extremely far from the Japan. Do you think he needs fresh water and food from that day? We will directly bypass your glume and go to Deer Island to replenish Bordeaux. Can't we? "

"Do you fools understand now? You all have already become the weak points of the Shimadzu. What is the final outcome for glume that could not earn any money? "Jin Changsen, at your age, let me ask you. Use your wisdom to give me an answer. Tell me, what is your fate?"

He really didn't want to waste time talking to these people, but now he had to unite Liu Zhu's thoughts. If he wanted to continue the play, he had to make sure that King Chantale would not waver.

With Xiao Letian's knowledge that transcended the epoch, Jin Changsen and the other pro-Japanese s were the first to collapse. Forget about those pro-Japanese s, first of all, Jin Changsen was not a pure pro-Japanese, he still acknowledged his identity as one of the glume's people. Everything he did was because of his judgement of the situation.

Jin Changsen broke free from Soldiers's restraints and kneeled in front of King Chantale, crying bitterly, "Your Majesty, this old official is confused. I nearly killed Your Majesty, please punish him properly and kill me to scare off all the evildoers in the court …" "I only hope that Your Majesty can spare my family's lives on account of this old subject's loyalty …"

With Jin Changsen taking the lead, the rest of the pro-Japanese s all knelt down. "I beg Your Majesty to punish me properly, I beg Your Majesty to forgive my family …"

At the beginning, they still had some doubts about their own beliefs. It was only when Xiao Letian revealed his final trump card that they realized how correct everything they had done was.

That's right, they all knew about the story of how the cunning rabbit died and the dog was roasted. As for Japanese's greed and selfishness, they knew even more clearly.

"Luckily, Daqing has Mr. Xiao. Luckily, we've seen Journey to the West , luckily our Wang Yingming, otherwise, the glume Kingdom would have been annihilated by you guys … "Bah!"

At this time, King Chantale finally woke up from his nightmare. Hearing Xiao Letian's analysis, he was so shocked that cold sweat broke out all over his body. As expected, choosing the Mainland was the right choice. If he really listened to that old fellow Jin Changsen, then he would only be able to live for a few more years at most. Thinking about this, King Chantale walked up to Xiao Letian and bowed deeply as he said.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for breaking through your enchantment …" Everyone, mandarin seed, I declare Xiao Letian to be my teacher, and Xiao love letter is also our glume's Prime Minister.

crowd was shocked, Imperial Advisor? And he was even the Prime Minister? King Chantale had actually restored the Prime Minister system of the ancient China? Oh my god! He actually did not discuss it with the officials. However, only at this time did Idiot jump up to object. Under the leadership of Cai Mao and Lin Yuanmiao, all of mandarin seed bowed 90 degrees.

"Greetings, Prime Minister. I am blessed by the glume!"

Don't mention the glume Kingdom being small, even Xiao Letian had never cared about his two lifetimes. In any case, facing all the bowing Wu Tie and the kneeling palace maid eunuchs and attendants, Xiao Letian still couldn't help but swell up and straighten his back.

Looking at the subordinates behind Xiao Letian, they were so excited that tears were flowing out of their eyes. Up until now, wasn't this the glory that they had been fighting with adults to the death? Just look at Palm Flag's Luo Huo, his chin was almost raised to his forehead.

After Xiao Letian's short stutterance, his mind quickly calmed down. Now, Japanese did not have any rest, so when they looked up, they could see Japanese, who was everywhere on the mountains, building a defensive wall. They were staring at Shouli City like wounded wild wolves.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to chat. Prepare for battle …" Master Lin Yuan, please mobilize the palace attendants and maids, prepare food and water, and don't prepare porridge in a good big pot … "General Cai Zai, you, Master Shi and the soldiers beside me go pick out the elites from the civilians. The city walls must be guarded …"

However, in the entire imperial court, there was not a single person who dared to resist. They only saw the South Gate gushing in from Chinese, who was like a tide and had been baptized in a bloody battle all night long. The Shouli City was really not a match for this group of people.

It was impossible for the Naga Harbor's hundred thousand Chinese to follow Xiao Letian. Other than the people who were killed, many others scattered and ran into the mountain with Glazed sphere aboriginals and the others. However, Chinese, who fought alongside Xiao Letian, had around forty to fifty thousand men, women, children, and children. These men could still hold on, but the women, children, and elders had to get some rest.

Not long later, all the plaza in front of the Shouli City was filled with women, children and elderly people. Very soon, the aroma of rice porridge began to permeate the air.

On top of the city wall, Cai Mao, Shi Dakai and many other middle ranking officers were arranging their manpower and defense. Imperial Palace's armoury was also opened, and all the weapons and halberds that had been stored for who knows how long were brought out.

"Prime Minister, let's drink some hot porridge …" Just as Zhan Musi was patrolling the city walls, Minister of Revenue Lin Yuanmiao and his men came over with rice porridge s to flatter her. "Prime Ministerson didn't eat, I'm not eating. Hurry up and give it to Prime Ministerson and people. Wait until everyone has some hot porridge, then I'll drink …" "Go, give me a cup of water!"

It had to be said that Paleogene was simple and honest. Popular, who had never been bombarded by the news media before, didn't have that many twists and turns in his heart. Who would be able to be nice to them? Xiao Letian's single sentence had caused all of the Chinese nearby to cry.

"Prime Minister..." Mr. Xiao... "Zhou Tie …" Sun Tie choked with sobs as he received the hot porridge. Tears welled up in his eyes. Xiao Letian was also a bit touched by himself. He turned around and rubbed his belly as he sighed silently, "Acting tough really comes with a price. My hunger is so bad that my chest is sticking to my back."

Time passed minute by minute, when the pocket watch pointed to seven in the morning, the sky and earth had already lit up. At this time, standing on the wall, they could already see the situation of the entire Port, the burning city, the fleet on the sea, and Japanese, who was defending halfway up the mountain.

"General Tsai Tsai!" Hurry and find me a telescope. Look at the ships on the sea, are they Japanese's Fleet? " Just as Xiao Letian was about to receive the single tube of telescope, a streak of fiery light suddenly flashed across the sea, followed by the sound of thunder.

In the blink of an eye, the western wall of Shouli City was suddenly covered with clouds and dust, and the entire Shouli City was shaking.

"It's Japanese's Fleet, their Ship Closure … "This group of Bastard fired their cannons. They fired their cannons at the Imperial City …" General Tsai Tsai grabbed his helmet and charged towards the western wall.

At this time, Hua Shanliyuan finally let out a sigh of relief. "Yo, yo!" Our Navy is still trustworthy, since they have made their move, we will not lose this fight … King of the Glazed Ball and his bunch of weaklings will surrender very soon! "
