Chapter 43: The truth is correct no matter how you say it

Leonie has been studying the Ming Dynasty's "Book of Filial Piety".

She was not very clear about the awkward truth in this book. However, among the attached readings of the book "The Book of Filial Piety", there is an illustration read called "The Twenty-Four Filial Piety Pictures".

This book is full of pictures and texts, and Leonie quickly understood the meaning of it.

But, she thought this book was not good!

Therefore, in addition, the view of the Book of Filial Piety is also very poor.

"Is the emperor's younger brother an elephant?"

"A 70-year-old chooses to pretend to fall, to make older parents laugh?"

"To support my mother, do you have to bury your son?"

"The wooden statue of my parents is pricked by needles and will cause bleeding, so my wife will be retired?"

"Mother is afraid of thunder. After her mother dies, she will go to her tomb and shout "Don't be afraid" when she encounters thunder?"

"Mom bites her finger, and her son has a headache in the distance?"

"It was the harsh winter, and there were no fresh bamboo shoots. Meng Zong had no choice but to run to the bamboo forest alone and cry with the bamboo. After a while, he suddenly heard the sound of cracking the ground, and saw several tender bamboo shoots growing on the ground?"

"The stepmother wanted to eat live carp. It was cold and cold. Wang Xiang untied his clothes and lay on the ice. The ice suddenly melted on its own and two carp jumped out. After the stepmother's food, he recovered from his illness?"

"Want to taste the patient's father's feces?"

"Don't you eat when your mother-in-law wants to drink your daughter-in-law's milk?"

"Oh my God, the people of the Ming Dynasty are so pitiful..."

Leonie decided not to read these things anymore. No matter which one, Leonie felt that she could not do it. She even suspected that the people in the book could not do it, especially the one who lie on the ice to melt the ice and jump out of the carp, which was simply nonsense.

Leonie lies on the ice, but she doesn't melt the ice, but instead she almost freezes to death.

"Dear Zhang, can you do these things recorded in the book? Like tasting your father's feces?"

Zhang Chuanli came, and Leoni asked him for advice as soon as possible.

Zhang Chuanli was stunned for a moment, but when he saw the book in Leoni's hand, he immediately understood that this was the worry of tasting feces in the story of Twenty-Four Filial Piety, so he shook his head and said, "In the Ming Dynasty, and even since ancient times, only this man named Yu Qianlou has done it."

"So, is your wife going to feed your mother?"

"My family is normal, there is no such strange thing."

"So, have you ever been lying on the ice and trying to melt the ice?"

"Do I look stupid?"

"Oh, so, the things in this book are all stories, right?"

Zhang Chuanli took the illustration of the Twenty-Four Filial Piety and put it on the table and said, "This book is about loving your parents, but the example they chose was wrong. It was too extreme and could not be used as a reference for daily life.

Just like the Bible you have been studying, in real life, your Lord cannot make the blind man clear, the cripple man become a normal person, the mute man speaks, and the sea cannot separate the sea and reveal a broad road."

"It's different, that's the Son, the Holy Spirit, who has enough power to do this."

"Oh, the same is true for the people in this book. They are also saints, so you can't be surprised to do something strange."

"How much did you sell my father?"

Leonie has never liked others to argue with her about the Bible. Since it is already called the Bible, there is no room for others to argue with.

"Your father thinks he plus the four thousand six hundred prisoners worth one million sea sailing silver coins."

Leonie frowned and said, "It's too few. I thought 15 million sea sailing silver coins were a fair price."

Zhang Chuanli said: "I didn't expect 15 million. I think it would be great if there were 10 million silver coins to let the general build her beloved Nanyang Academy."

Leonie said: "Can you leave this to me? I think I am more familiar with this Earl of Rennes."

Zhang Chuanli said worriedly: "This will destroy your image in the eyes of others."

Leonie said lightly: "This is our family matter, I think others will understand."

Zhang Chuanli handed the cell key in his hand to Reoni, who also felt that Reoni could extort ten million silver coins from his father.

The complete failure of the Dutch East India Company in the South China Sea made Raymond, the British Governor in India, extremely worried. He felt that once the Ming Governor Han Xiufen completely embezzled the South China Sea, with his understanding of this powerful female governor of the East, it would be a matter of time before she led the fleet into India.

Therefore, he was eager to know that the East India Dutch Company, which had been entrenched in the South China Sea for decades, had failed to a certain extent, and whether there was any capital to compete with the Ming Dynasty's Nanyang Governor Han Xiufen through support.

To this end, he contacted the highest officials of European countries in India, preparing to form a resolution, and then give an ultimatum to the Ming Dynasty's South Ocean Governor in the name of collective to ensure that the existence of the Dutch East India Company in the South Ocean is in the interests of all countries and the Ming Dynasty cannot infringe on it at will.

Just when they actively discussed and believed that the First Fleet of the Ming Navy should be further required to release the blockade of the Malacca Strait and make this important strait that communicates East-West maritime trade into a public waters, Governor Raymond received a document from Han Xiufen.

Han Xiufen expressed his intentions in the documents very clearly and his wording was very polite. She believed that when European countries cut their flesh on the Indian elephant, the Ming Empire must be missing.

If the governors of European countries cannot fully reflect the interests of the Ming Empire on the profit distribution table, then the first fleet of the Ming Navy will also enter India to give themselves a share of the pie.

This requirement is very excessive.

At least Governor Raymond thought so. The British Empire had been operating India for ten years. They creatively cooperated with Indian princes and princes to enter India in this way. Under the banner of helping the princes unify India, they frantically seized India's wealth. This effect was very good.

Nowadays, the Indian princes in the south have won the war against the princes in the north at a stage. As long as the army of the princes in the south can continue to advance north, they can gain more wealth.

Now, in trouble, Han Xiufen is coming in.

Moreover, judging from the documents she sent, Han Xiufen was preparing to start from the north and support a group of northern princes who dared to resist the army of southern princes and dukes, and staged a tug-of-war on the vast plains of India.

"Han Xiufen is too greedy. The fifteen second-class battleships of the Dutch East India Company have arrived this time. I think the cannons on these battleships will shut up this ugly woman."

Jung, the director of the new Dutch East India Company, sneered at Han Xiufen's suggestion.

Raymond looked at the young Jung with a smile and said, "If the Dutch East India Company is willing to send fifteen second-class warships to attack Malacca, then the British Empire will also send five second-class warships to follow.

In this matter, our interests are the same, and this empire from the East is an alien to us. If we cannot block these yellow races into the Strait of Malacca, I think you continental European countries will once again taste the taste of being beaten by God's whip.

The last time the Whip of God was a group of losers who were driven to the European continent by the Han people. This time, you will face this group of most fierce enemies, Parliament Pierre. I know that the British Empire and France have experienced a war of one hundred and sixteen years, hated each other, and are even in war. However, in India, I hope we can unite.

First defeat this arrogant Eastern woman, and then divide our interests."

"Governor Raymond, it is not enough to enter the Strait of Malacca with the participation of the navy. We all know that the Oriental Earl built sixty-one permanent forts in Malacca.

And these heavy artillery are the biggest threat to our fleet. Since all of us want to get rid of the hidden danger of the Ming Empire, we must first dispatch the army to clear these turrets. Otherwise, once our warships enter the channel, they will become living targets for these turrets.

Now, who can volunteer to help us clear these inaccurate batteries?

Member Pierre, the French Army has always been known for its bravery. Can you take on this important task?"

Jung, the young director of the Dutch East India Company, seemed to have a stronger hostility towards Pierre, the governor of France in India.

The European nobles here all knew what the meaning of Jung and Raymond insisted on pulling France into the water.

Since Charles I convened a parliament in 1640, and the members of the parliament had sought to limit the king's rights, but succeeded, the situation in France was like a powder barrel baked on a fire.

Compared with the Ming Empire, which was also imperial, the French were extremely dissatisfied with the people in the position of kings. Therefore, many knowledgeable people believed that France was the most dangerous enemy on the European continent at this time.

Governor Pierre did not answer Jung and Raymond's questions, but spread his hands and said, "Is India big enough, right? I think such a large India can accommodate all of us."

After hearing what Governor Pierre said, both Raymond and Jung seemed very silent.

However, Governor Pierre did not stop his speech. He said to Jung: "His Excellency Renn, the legendary director of the Dutch East India Company, has now become a prisoner of Governor Han Xiufen. With him, he was captured 4,600 staff members, sailors, officers and soldiers of the Dutch East India Company.

Moreover, just three days before Governor Raymond held this meeting, I received a handwritten letter from Governor Han Xiufen. In the letter, she hoped that I could discuss with Director Jung whether she could give her ten million silver coins for sea sailing so that she could have money to build a university that could benefit the entire Nanyang.

I agree with this matter and promised Governor Han Xiufen that he would find at least ten professors from Paris.

I hope Director Jung will be able to agree to Governor Han Xiufen's wisdom to calm the war and let the goddess of peace come to this turbulent sea area."
