Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 737 The Devil's Deal

It was an exquisite card with some unknown words written in Chinese. Jax couldn't read Chinese, so he tilted his head with this thing and looked at Li Laobai who was drinking sugar cane wine on the other side, asking in astonishment. road.

The smile became a bit more intense, and there was also a sense of mystery, Li Laobai easily put down his wine glass and explained.

"For each batch of product transactions of the West India Company, the transaction type and target will be posted on the product to avoid batch errors. This piece of paper is written on a certain day in a certain year, and the company specially made it as a gift to the Governor of Delhi. Brother, you Yes, there are a few auspicious words written below."

"It's also in the porcelain that Lord Mirsad ordered!"

Because of religious reasons, I was a little sensitive to this little card, but after listening to Li Laobai's explanation, I lost interest. Immediately, Jax threw the card aside again, and then shook the handle, but this time, the dancer hadn't danced yet. After half a turn, he suddenly snapped the handle like a cat that stepped on its tail.

"You mean, there is also this thing in the black tea box that Master Ben ordered!"

Jax was careful enough, he didn't show his face during the whole process, and the person who signed the transaction order for the West India Company was also a businessman who didn't match his appearance. He played this trick. This Shah Jahan just ordered the expulsion and arrest of Ming merchants, and the tea he drank after the opening ceremony of his most cherished Taj Mahal Mosque opened a deal between the Governor of Delhi and the Ming merchants. It proved that Jax could no longer imagine what would happen to him.

Especially when Li Laobai said that Lord Mirsad had this thing on his porcelain, it completely exposed Li Laobai's conspiracy. Since the bastard who was in charge of the palace and construction had seen this thing, on the day he unpacked it, Naturally, I will recognize it, and I will not be able to speak clearly with a hundred mouths.

"Old man, how dare you harm my master!"

With a bang, an Indian scimitar was placed on Li Laobai's neck with a murderous look, but at this moment Li Laobai's smile became more and more intense, and a vampire-like gloom bloomed on his face At this time, the honest and trustworthy grain merchant in the past can no longer be found on him, and the shadows of the shadows seem to be revealed behind him.

"Brother, my buddy is still at Lord Mirsard's place. If I don't have time to go back, the buddy will say more, tsk tsk, then the situation will not look good."

This is a blatant threat, but unfortunately, Jax couldn't ignore his threat, his arm trembled for half a minute, and finally threw the knife powerlessly, and sat back on the chair softly.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Although this trick was a bit idiotic, Jax was considered an old driver in the political arena, and he probably didn't face threats and temptations once or twice. His face was full of gloomy anger, and he stared at Li Laobai's hateful face.

Listening to the translation that tasted like old sheepskin, an inscrutable smile appeared on Li Laobai's face.

"In view of my company's negligence, I am really sorry for causing trouble to my brother, but I happen to have a proposal that kills two birds with one stone. I sell the goods, and my brother also relieves his worries. How about it?"

"What proposal?"

"My lord Mirsad is not the only one who can get access to the materials for the tea party. Members of the royal family can also. I heard that the third prince, His Highness Aurangzeb, can also. I wonder if my lord can recommend it?"

"You are crazy!"

This time, just hearing this pronunciation, Jax has already screamed in horror.

…………

To say that the kings of China have always been prolific, Zhu Yuanzhang has more than a dozen sons, and Shah Jahan is no exception. This Aurangzeb is his third son, and this man is quite talented. The Uzbeks and the Persians fought, and they also conquered the rebellious Deccan for the empire. For this reason, Shah Jahan appointed him as the governor of the Deccan, and managed the Deccan Suba, which is the most disputed and undercurrent in the South Asian subcontinent. , There is quite a capable Deccan army in his hands.

"Brother Li, it's still too late to turn around!"

One morning, sitting in an exquisite carriage, the Governor of Delhi's car stopped lightly at the gate of Aurangzeb's mansion, but the exquisitely carved and gold-plated carriage and the velvet cushions did not bring Jax any enjoyment. The feeling, on the contrary, made him feel like a thorn on his back, and the sweat on his head flowed down like a stream.

Seeing the servant running in to make an announcement, Jax couldn't help but turned his head heavily again, persuading him sadly.

To be honest, Li Laobai said he was not nervous, that is false, this Aurangzeb is different from other princes, he is a fanatical believer of a trace of blue, openly discriminated against all other races of faith, in the Deccan, he burned the temple, smashed The bad relics are almost the most in the Mughal Empire, and his cruelty is well known to everyone. In Andra Subba, he ordered the hanging of more than 3000 Hindus and hung the corpses all over a mountain.

I really don't know what kind of reaction this demon king will have if a wise man appears in front of him!So even if Jax had something in Li Laobai's hands, he was unwilling to bring Li Laobai to meet Aurangzeb.

But he calmed down and covered his face, Li Laobai kept his profiteer face and smiled, and pushed the car door and got in. Although the danger is great, but wealth and wealth are in danger, if he succeeds this time, it will bring him Not to mention how lucrative the benefits are, the most important thing is that he can bring great credit to his son Li Xiaohei.

At that time, this bastard boy can be transferred to the Imperial General Staff Headquarters by virtue of his merits and become a senior civilian. This will cause Li Laobai to worry about it. At that time, he can find any girl he wants, and he can do whatever he wants. Toss, as long as it is left to Lao Li's family, let Li Laobai die without shame to see his ancestors.

Even if he failed, he, Li Laobai, was a man with old bones, half buried in the loess, what to be afraid of, with the title of martyr, Li Xiaohei might have a smoother career in the future.

Besides, the products that Li Laobai brought this time gave him quite confidence.

In history books, Tang Yao abdicated to Shun, and Emperor Shun abdicated to Dayu. It was once the peak of Confucian virtuous monarchs, and it has become a familiar allusion. However, during the Western Jin Dynasty, the annals of the Warring States Wei "Bamboo "Book Chronicles", however, exposed the big lie left by the old master Confucius, bloody tore through the beauty, and revealed the darkness of that period of history to people's eyes.

Shun imprisoned Yao in Pingyang and took the throne!
There is also the image of the virtuous Prime Minister Yi Yin in Sima Qian's "Historical Records", the Confucianist eulogized that he assisted the four generations of kings, and died of exhaustion. In fact, Shang Tang replaced him after his death, and exiled Shang Jun Taijia in Tong for three years. Hou Taijia escaped and killed Yi Yin!

Even the ancient saints in China have not escaped the shackles of power, not to mention that these philosophies are much shallower, there is no etiquette and ethics for monarchs and ministers, and there is a trace of blue rulers from Central Asia. Back then, Shah Jahan thought of soldiers to seize his father's The throne, after the defeat of the army, wandered for seven years, and finally survived until the death of his father, and then succeeded again, becoming the famous Mughal emperor in Central Asia and South Asia.

Although this Aurangzeb is dangerous, he is also the most perfect prey in the eyes of the Ming army. He is the third son and the most talented among Shah Jahan's many sons, but he is not Shah Jahan's favorite concubine. It is already an open secret in Delhi that Shah Jahan dotes on his eldest son, Dara Shik, and intends to appoint him as the heir to the empire. If he relies on inheritance, Aurangzeb will have no chance of touching the throne.

In addition to the boss Dara Shiko, the second son of the vice king of Bangladesh, Shashuja, is also a strong enemy of the throne, but recently, Bangladesh was occupied by Ming Dynasty, and the main force was defeated. It was impossible for Bu to not be touched, and now his Deccan Army was at the front line, once he was used as cannon fodder in the decisive battle with the Ming Expeditionary Army, then he probably would sit on the bench indefinitely.

So this time Li Laobai brought a good thing that would make thousands of heroes bow down as a stepping stone to visit this talented third prince, just like Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

Ambition!

The luxurious iron gate was opened by two dark but strong Deccan nomad warriors, carrying a large bag of presents. While Jax was trembling, Li Laobai walked in calmly. In this mansion known as the executioner of heretics.

No one knows what happened in this house, but throughout the whole day, no one's head was seen stuck on the railing. In the evening, the Governor's carriage of Derry left as calmly as other bureaucratic carriages to curry favor with the third prince. In the middle of the night, Aurangzeb, the deputy king of the Deccan, suddenly entered the second palace, saying that he wanted to drink tea. He picked from the tea leaves offered by Jax, the governor of Delhi, and finally left leisurely with two boxes of black tea.

A week later, the opening of the Taj Mahal Grand Mosque and the royal tea party in the afternoon went on as usual without any disturbance, let alone some irritating little notes, which made Jax deeply relieved .

But this guy didn't know that the history of the entire South Asian subcontinent had been rewritten in just one day when he took Li Laobai, a small businessman, to meet Aurangzeb!
