Chapter 44: Talking about the restoration of the country's head, saying that steamed buns are coming

"Fat doctor, do you still remember how to introduce the Ming Dynasty and Taiwan in the newspapers of Western countries? I really want to know what Westerners think of the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the future of Taiwan. Cixuan said.

Westerners have many different views from those of Easterners. They generally look down on Orientals. The Orientals in their eyes are cowardly, timid, poor and good-faced. Many Westerners even think that they can easily occupy Eastern countries by sending dozens of warships and thousands of sailors. They also disdain the Ming Dynasty and the current Qing Dynasty. Fat said with a smile.

"So that's how it is. We have always thought that China is the Heavenly Kingdom, and we didn't expect that we were actually despised by Westerners!" Cixuan has a feeling.

"If you go to Taiwan and become emperor, you should also order the distribution of newspapers so that all people can understand the world's major events." Fat reminded with a smile.

Ci Xuan nodded and then asked, "Then you can tell us how Western newspapers introduced Taiwan. I am very concerned about any news about the last part of Daming."

"Westerners call Taiwan a beautiful island, and they have coveted Taiwan for a long time. In their eyes, Taiwan is a well-located trade transit station. It is a more promising place than Macao and Batavia. Westerners are actively trading with Taiwan, including the British East India Company. They call the Taiwan regime Ming Zheng. British newspapers call Zheng Jing, the king of Yanping, king. In their eyes, the Zhu Ming Dynasty no longer exists. Now Taiwan is only Ming Zheng at most. Fat said with a smile.

"What? Ming Zheng? King of Taiwan? Zheng Jing inherited the Yanping throne of his father Zheng Chenggong. Zheng Chenggong was the minister of the Ming Dynasty and made him the king of Yanping in the Ming Dynasty. I have been in the Ming Dynasty for more than 300 years, and the royal family is my Zhu family. Taiwan, as the land of the Ming Dynasty, is also the land of our Zhu Ming Dynasty. How can it be called Ming Zheng? As a part of the land of the Ming Dynasty, where is the king of Taiwan? Ci Xuan said angrily.

"In the eyes of Westerners, it is the Zheng family in Taiwan who now leads the Han people's anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming Dynasty. They have regarded the Qing Dynasty as the orthodox imperial dynasty of China and Taiwan as a country hostile to the Qing Dynasty. However, this is only the view of Westerners. In fact, Zheng Jing, the king of Yanping in Taiwan, has always been courteous to the royal family of the Ming Dynasty. Taiwan still uses the year of the Ming Dynasty and treats Taiwan as the land of the Ming Dynasty. Fatty smiled and explained quickly when he saw that Ci Xuan was emotionally excited.

"Fat doctor, how do Western newspapers specifically introduce Taiwan?" Zao Dan asked the fat man to smile.

"Yanping Wang Zhengjing called Taiwan Dongning, the capital of Dongjing, and controlled the southern part of Taiwan. It is a place dominated by the Han people. After reclamation, it has become a rich granary. Coupled with overseas trade, southern Taiwan quickly became a rich royal paradise. However, most of the northern part of Taiwan are local indigenous people. It has not been well developed and is still in a wild situation. Fat introduced with a smile.

"It turns out that King Yanping has not yet controlled the whole of Taiwan. It seems that if I want to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, it can't be achieved overnight." Ci Xuan said indifferently.

"It is true that the rise and fall of a regime is not determined by the size of the country. Britain, the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal are all small, but they are strong enough to expand colonies in the East. Today's powerful Qing Dynasty was also developed and expanded by the small Jianzhou Nvzhen. The key to the problem is the policy. With good domestic and foreign policies, small Taiwan can also overthrow the Qing Dynasty. Fat is smiling and encouraging Ci Xuan to say.

"Yes, fat doctor. I have no reason to be discouraged. Now Taiwan is vast, and it is stronger than the little Jianzhou woman in those years. What's more, there are also many Han righteous people in the 18 provinces under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, who are committed to the great cause of anti-Qing and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty. Although the Qing Dynasty was hypocritical for a while, Wu Sangui and other kings were not of the same heart as the Qing Dynasty, otherwise they would not have been able to house arrest me and my father in ancient Foshan behind the back of the Qing Dynasty. If Wu Sangui rises up against the Qing Dynasty, then Taiwan can take the opportunity to send troops to the mainland, and the Ming Dynasty is expected to restore the country!" Ci Xuan said optimistically.

"Sanlang is right. There are so many Han people, can't we beat Manchuria? In addition to the Han people in Taiwan and the mainland, the Han people in Nanyang can also die for the great cause of anti-Qing and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty. Feng Qi said loudly.

"It's not only Han people, but also Burmese like Fat Doctor and I can also work against the Qing Dynasty." Zaodan said with a smile.

"Yes, in the Taiwan Ming army led by Zheng Jing, the king of Yanping, there are also Japanese, * people, Ryukyu people, Taiwanese indigenous people, Nanyang people, Westerners, and black people. Zheng Jing, the king of Yanping, also took advantage of the fact that his grandmother was Japanese, sent people to Japan to beg for help, and kept in touch with * who was dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty and intended to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Ryukyu respects the Ming Dynasty and maintains close and friendly relations with Taiwan. Yanping Wang Zhengjing also hired Westerners to go to Taiwan to develop guns and weapons to strengthen the strength of Taiwan's Ming army. These are published publicly in Western newspapers. Fat said with a smile.

"That's great. In those years, the Qing Dynasty was able to develop from a small Jianzhou Jurzhen to today because Nurhachi created the Eight Banner System and condensed the strength of his own nation. During the Huangtaiji period, through marriage with Mongolia, he encircled Mongolia, established a Manchu-Mongolian alliance, and became the enemy of the Ming Dynasty. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it paid more attention to the use of traitors. Strengthening the national cohesion of the Manchu people and disintegrate other ethnic groups was a common trick of the Qing Dynasty. But in terms of strategy, it is indeed smart. If the Ming Dynasty wants to restore the country, it is also necessary to first strengthen the cohesion of the Han people, attach importance to the alliance with foreigners, divide the traitors and Manchus, and disintegrate the Manchu-Mongolian alliance. In a word, it is strong and clear in every way. Ci Xuan said with great interest.

"Ha ha, it seems that the Qing Dynasty really met a strong opponent. Dangding, you have a lot of strategy and will become a great tool in the future. From Fujian to Beijing, the world under the control of King Zhengjing of Yanping will spread all over the world. As you said, they will be strong and clear through all means. The most effective methods include assassinating traitors and the royal family of the Qing Dynasty, as well as diving officials from the coastal provinces of the Qing Dynasty, breaking through the sea ban of the Qing Dynasty and transporting the mainland's human and material resources to Taiwan. Overseas Chinese in the Philippines all know this. Fat said with a smile.

"That's great! It seems that the Ming Dynasty will really complete the great cause of anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming Dynasty in the near future. Fat doctor, your words are too valuable to me. What you know is very precious to me. Cixuan said excitedly.

"I think you should become a Christian again, so that you can use your Christian identity and send people to Europe to ask for help from the Holy See to let the Holy See break out a righteous act like the Crusade and help you complete the great cause against the Qing Dynasty. It also makes you speak more important after arriving in Taiwan. Fat said with a smile.

"This is not urgent. Let's deal with Ava first." Cixuan said.

"We will be in Ava for a few days, but it seems that we are going to go to the small town of Degong around Ava. That's a small town that makes me, Deliss and Dumb unforgettable. Fat said with a smile.

What an unforgettable method? Is there anything special about that Degon town?" Zaodan asked curiously.

"Actually, Delis and Dumb and I have only stayed there for two days, and we are not particularly familiar with it. One year and three months ago, we arrived in Yangon, Myanmar by boat from Batavia on Claw Frog Island. He returned to Dongzhi from Yangon via Ava. I passed by Degong Town and stayed there for two days. That's really an interesting place. I mean, the steamed bun shop there is very interesting. Fat is smiling, but he still doesn't quite understand.

"I said fat doctor, don't tell the key. What the hell is going on? What's wrong with the steamed buns? Feng Qi asked impatiently.

"Young man, don't be in such a hurry. Listen to me slowly. The favorite food of Degong people is steamed buns. Each family eats steamed buns as their staple food. They rarely specialize in cooking and stir-frying. In their opinion, steamed buns are both rice and dishes. It's delicious and convenient. Their restaurant only sells steamed buns. That is to say, their restaurants are all steamed bun shops. Fat said with a smile.

"It's not bad. I also like steamed buns. So what are the characteristics of their steamed bun shop?" Ci Xuan also asked curiously.

Because I love steamed buns. The people there value steamed buns. It's a great honor for who makes steamed buns well. However, whoever can eat steamed buns best is the greatest honor. Therefore, there is also a special steamed bun festival. In addition to the competition for who made the best steamed buns, there is also a competition to eat steamed buns. In fact, not only the steamed bun festival, but also eating steamed buns in competitions is also the favorite thing of local people. Some people make money by gambling on steamed buns. Fat said with a smile.

"Bet on steamed buns? Is it a bet on who eats the most? Is it like gambling on cockfighting?" Feng Qi turned back and asked.

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with it. Often two people who can eat steamed buns compete together, and many people bet on them. This is called gambling double. The winning party not only wins the money, but also has a good meal in the steamed bun shop. All the costs are borne by the losing party. It is the shrewd steamed bun shop owner who is sure to make a profit.

"Doesn't the owner of the steamed bun shop bet on steamed buns?" Zaodan asked.

"Bet! The gambling steamed buns that the steamed bun shop participates in are called gambling orders. Dai gambled with the steamed bun shop once, but he lost and spent a lot of money. Fat said with a smile.

"What? Ah Dai also went to gamble on steamed buns? So what's their gambling method? Ci Xuan asked hurriedly.

"A Dai is young and competitive. I think the steamed buns there are too delicious, but they are too expensive. As a result, I bet on steamed buns with the steamed bun shop. If A stays and eats five catties of steamed buns within an hour, the steamed bun shop not only does not want stupid silver, but also compensates stupid 30 taels of silver. If A Dai can't eat five catties of steamed buns, then not only the money of steamed buns will have to be doubled. I also have to accompany him with 30 taels of silver. As a result, A Dai lost, and we lost more than 40 taels of silver. Fat said with a smile.

"What? Five catties of steamed buns? Lost 40 taels? Then Dumb is really reckless. How big can a person's stomach be? Not to mention an hour, even a day, you can eat to burst your belly. Zaodan said with regret.

"Yes, we all say that. The steamed bun shop will not do a loss-making business. If you bet on steamed buns with them, you will definitely lose, but Dumb is not convinced. It is said that the steamed buns are so delicious that you won't be full if you eat delicious food. I had to bet. As a result, half of it was blocked in my throat before I ate it, and I couldn't swallow it anymore. Fatty said with a smile while smiling. He remembered A Dai, but he was still a little sad.

"Haha, in fact, five catties of steamed buns are not too much, and an hour is not short. If I go to bet on steamed buns, maybe I can win. Sanlang knows me, and I'm very good at eating. Feng Qi said.

"Can you eat? Why didn't I see it? You don't eat much in my house. Besides, you are plagued by physical diseases. Do you still have such an appetite? Fat asked with a smile in surprise.

"Yes, I can eat very well. Although he is not in good health, his appetite is very good. In your house, I'm a guest, so I can't eat too much. Otherwise, you guys will have nothing to eat?" Feng Qi said with a smile.

"Feng Qi, is that true? I don't think you eat much in Suzhang Village Restaurant, and you don't eat much in Jingdong Chengxiang Restaurant. That's not being a guest." Zao Dan also asked in disbelief.

"Gunmother. After I met you, everything was fine. I just dare not be full. The three of us eat a table of food. If I eat more, you will have nothing to eat. When it is in the hands of the goblins, it is up to us. We can eat as much as the goblins feed us. So, I'm half full." Feng Qi told the truth.

"Brother, you are really. In this case, you should just order more food. Anyway, we have so much money, aren't we afraid it's not enough? The first time you went to Xianghe Restaurant for dinner, you ate so much, only a few taels of silver. Cixuan said.

"At that time, I was alone. In addition, I often steal other people's silver, so I'm used to eating and drinking. But after I met you, I made up my mind to change my mind and start a new person. I will never do that cheating thing. I'm the eldest brother of Prince Daming, and I can't humiliate you. So we have to save money along the way. Feng Qi said seriously.

"Big brother. You are such a kind and righteous big brother. However, your health is not good. If you don't have enough to eat, your body will be even worse. Then why do you ask me and my godmother to eat? We can't do this in the future. We still have money. Even if we don't have it, let's go out to make money. Cixuan said excitedly.

"Yes, Feng Qi. The godmother was very worried when she heard what you said. You are such a good child. My godmother's nose is sore when she hears you say that. But you should also know that Sanlang and I are also affectionate people, and we can't let you not eat enough. If you don't ask Sanlang and me to worry about you, then don't just eat half full. Did you hear that, child? Zaodan couldn't help crying when he said the last sentence.

"Gang, don't do this. Aren't I fine? I really shouldn't have told you this. It's all fat doctors who mentioned the matter of blocking eating steamed buns. I regretted that Ah Dai lost 40 taels of silver, so I want to win back the silver for Ah Dai. That's why I told the truth. I just want you to believe that if I want to bet on steamed buns, I will definitely win. Feng Qi said.

"God. What three people who value feelings! Although you three have different origins, I am really touched that you can treat each other like this. Feng Qi, you are such a good young man. You have become extremely tall in my heart. Fatty said with a smile.

"The three of us, like you and Delis Adai, cherish each other's feelings. Coincidentally, the three of you are also two old and two small, and the three of us are also old and two small. Fat doctor, you know that people of our age treat people their age like their own children. Zaodan said.

"What are the three of you, the three of us? Delis and Dumb went to heaven, and the fat doctor joined us. The two of them should go to heaven and the four of us should go to Taiwan. Feng Qi said cleverly.

"Yes, that's exactly what I said. What the eldest brother said is what I want to say. Fat doctors are also people who value friendship. If you have joined us, don't treat yourself as an outsider. In the future, the four of us will live and die together. Stop talking about the three of you, talk about the four of us. Ci Xuan said sincerely.

"Sanlang (Dang Ding) is right!" Zaodan and Pang said with a smile. Fat smiled and said emotionally, "Yes, Zao Dan, Feng Qi. God has mercy on me. He knows that I can't bear the cruel fact of losing Delis and Dumb and sends them to meet me in my dreams. Tell me that my friendship with them will not end with death. Although they can no longer hug me with their bodies, they can still connect with my heart. Now, I have got your friendship again. I think Delis and Ah will be happy to see this in heaven. Fat said with a smile and tears.

"Don't cry, wipe away your tears. I don't cry either. People of our age should not cry in front of the children. The four of us should not cry and laugh like you in the future. As Zaodan said, he wiped his tears with a handkerchief.

"Gunmother, you have to cry. When you meet the bad guys and goblins, your crying is the best weapon." Feng Qi said with a smile.

"That's not really crying, that's crying for crying, which is different. Besides, how can we be so unlucky to meet so many goblins and bad people? There are still many good people in the world. Aren't the four of us all good people? Zaodan said.

"Then I will make some comments. One is that you should teach me to calm down as soon as possible. I don't want to be so uncomfortable crying all over by Zaodan again. In addition, we are together, so don't call it so raw. You are both a godmother and a big brother. You are so close and call me a fat doctor, which seems very strange. I'm not happy. Do you want to change it? Fat said with a smile.

"Then my eldest brother and I will call you fat uncle in the future. It's up to her to decide what the godmother calls you. Ci Xuan said with a smile.

"What should I call you? I can't call you fat brother, can I? Let's make you laugh." Zaodan said with a smile.

"Okay, that's good. That's it! This is the name of our Orientals. Delis calls me Mr. Fat, which is the name of Westerners. We Orientals still feel kind to call you that. Fatty said happily with a smile.

"Uncle Fat, I will definitely win those 40 taels of silver for A Dai." Feng Qi said with a smile. It made everyone laugh.
