Chapter 629: Tough
"They are coming, get into combat immediately.��
On the battleship deck, Dong An and the battleship captain stood together and saw the French warship raising its sails and heading towards them. The captain immediately gave orders.
Dong An shook his hand, "Don't be so nervous, they are not coming to fight us."
The captain nodded, "I know, but it is always better to be prepared."
Dong An showed a helpless expression. The captain's name was Miao Cheng.
Along the way, he found that the captain was too cautious.
But it was precisely because of his caution that they avoided all dangers.
In about a cup of tea, the French warship sailed to the side of their warship.
A red-haired and black-eyed French man appeared at the side of the ship. It was Feiwen.
Beside him stood a Dasong man.
Since he approached the Yan Wang battleship, he carefully observed the battleship.
What shocked him was that the Yan Wang's sailing warship was designed very reasonably.
From the outside, 70% of the structure was the same as their warship. The remaining 30% is similar to the warship, and he has never seen it.
But with his understanding of warships, he feels that this part seems to be more conducive to the warship sailing on the ocean.
Most importantly, he has seen the sailing warships of all European countries, but no sailing warship is exactly the same as the sailing warship of King Yan.
And this makes him feel strange.
After all, after knowing a little about this King Yan, he has always assumed that this King Yan has received secret support from a European country.
But from the current situation, it seems that it is still impossible to determine completely.
"Could it be that the teacher of this King Yan is a European, and this King Yan is a genius, and he can draw inferences from one instance to another?" Fei Wen felt that his eyes were covered with fog for a while.
Then, his expression became serious. If so, he must not offend this King Yan easily.
So he said: "I am Fei Wen, the governor of Marka City, and welcome you. "
The Dasong people beside him immediately translated Feiwen's words to Dong An.
At this time, Dong An also came to the side of the ship. After listening to the translation of the Dasong people, he said: "Thank you, I am Dong An, the envoy of the Honglu Temple of Dasong. I came to Marka City on the order of King Yan to explain the attack on the merchant ship."
Before setting off, he got some information about Marka City from Xu Ke.
In the south of Yizhou, the French occupied Marka City, and in the north of Yizhou, the Japanese built Lujiao City.
Among them, the highest official in Marka City is called the Governor, and there are 8,000 French soldiers in the city.
Now, the Governor of Marka City came in person, which surprised him a little.
However, this can be directly addressed, so he continued: "Someone deliberately framed the merchant ship attack this time. The Black Shark Pirates have never attacked any merchant ships outside the Japanese country. I hope Governor Feiwen will not be blinded by certain forces and used by others. "
Feiwen nodded. Although he had some doubts about this matter, he did not completely rule out the suspicion of the Black Shark Pirates.
So he asked: "What evidence do you have to prove that you, the Black Shark Pirates, are innocent?"
"No evidence." Dong An said, "Why should innocent people prove their innocence? This time we came here just to remind you kindly, so as not to get involved in a war that does not belong to you."
Feiwen frowned immediately. He had never had a native of the East talk to him in such a tough tone.
He said solemnly: "But we have both witnesses and evidence. You say you are innocent, are you innocent?"
"Are you sure that your witnesses and evidence are true and reliable? "Dong An said.
This frame-up took place on the vast ocean, how could they have evidence to prove their innocence.
Before this mission, he mentioned this issue to King Yan.
What King Yan said was "the innocent do not need to prove themselves", so he just had to explain to the French and Sterdans.
As for whether they believe it or not, it depends on themselves.
"Do I not believe my own people, but should believe your words?" Feiwen sneered.
He suspected that this matter was only out of consideration of interests, not respect for the natives of the East.
For hundreds of years, Europe's colonization of other continents has made them feel that they are naturally superior.
When the people of the East see him, they should be as humble as the Japanese.
So, he still felt offended by Dong An's attitude.
"Sometimes our own people are more dangerous than the enemy." Dong An was calm, "Governor Feiwen, I am not begging you to believe us. I emphasize again that His Royal Highness the King of Yan just doesn't want you to be deceived. "
"Think about your trade in the East. If you lose the war at sea, you will no longer have a foothold in the East. On the contrary, if you make the right choice, you will even have the opportunity to trade with Yanzhou?"
Fei Wen was silent for a while, still a little unconvinced in his heart, he said: "Are you so sure that your King Yan will win the war?"
"Of course, because soon our warships will not be just twelve."
Fei Wen's face changed.
The Black Shark Pirates with twelve warships can almost dominate the East Sea.
If the King of Yan has more warships, there is no doubt that he will dominate the trade in the East Sea.
As the envoy of the King of Yan said, let's not mention whether the merchant ship was attacked by the King of Yan.
Even if he did it, it seems that he has to weigh whether he should be hostile to the King of Yan because of this matter.
After all, the trade of the East is very important to the Franji Kingdom. If the trade of the East is messed up, his future as the governor will be ruined.
So he said: "Thank you for your reminder. I will re-investigate this matter. I hope this matter has nothing to do with you."
After that, he walked to the middle of the deck and ordered the warship to return to the harbor.
The warship of the Franji people went away, and Dong An breathed a sigh of relief.
At first, he was worried that a tough response to this matter would cause trouble, but from now on, it seems to be working well.
He remembered the words of King Yan, the weaker you are to the Westerners, the more they will bully you.
Showing toughness will make them afraid, which seems to be true.
"Let's go, it's time to go to Yaga City." The Franji warship was getting farther and farther away, and Dong An said to Miao Cheng, his face solemn.
The further south you go, the more dangerous it is. This time, the envoy is not only responsible for resolving the frame-up incident.
At the same time, he also has the mission of making initial contact with the Western countries and understanding the current domestic situation of the Western countries.
While defusing the frame-up, he also took the initiative to contact the Western countries to understand their intentions.
Miao Cheng nodded, the sails of the warships were raised again, and the fleet consisting of two warships and three merchant ships slowly headed south.
Not long after they left, a quarrel suddenly broke out in Feiwen's office in Marka City.
Soon, Steven walked out of the office, followed by four soldiers.
Two of the soldiers grabbed Feiwen's arms, one on the left and one on the right.
