Yinzhen: Become the favorite of the group in the Qing Dynasty where the brothers were reborn

Chapter 507 Are people with oriental faces necessarily from the Qing Dynasty?

In April, Kangxi sent back news that England had discovered something was wrong in North America and was sending people to check out the situation.

At the end of April, the English Navy confronted Kangxi and his men, trying to regain the North American colonies.

At the same time, official documents questioning the Qing Dynasty from England also began to cross the ocean and reach the Qing Dynasty.

In the document, they questioned the Qing Dynasty's intentions and why it sent people to invade their land regardless of the friendly diplomatic relations between the two countries.

But the Qing Dynasty refused to acknowledge this.

The Lifanyuan argued with the English envoy with good reasoning.

"What makes you say those people are from our Qing Dynasty?!"

"If you can't explain it clearly, you are slandering the Qing Dynasty. My emperor will definitely ask you, England, what exactly you mean!"

The English envoy did not expect these Qing officials to be so self-righteous. Their morale was a little low for a moment, but thinking of their responsibilities, they quickly asked: "Those people have oriental faces, of course they are from the Qing Dynasty!"

As soon as these words came out, Yinqi laughed. He rolled up his sleeves slowly and asked, "Are people with oriental faces people from the Qing Dynasty?"

"Does that mean they are all Western faces, and all of them are English?"

The English ambassador was speechless when asked the question. He wanted to answer like this, but the fact is not like that. There are many countries in the world with faces like them.

The English envoy was silent for a while, then thought of something and said quickly: "They also spoke your Qing language! You can't deny it!"

Yinqi raised his eyebrows and immediately blurted out some Manchu language, which made the English envoy look confused.

"What are you talking about?" The Englishman looked confused and had no idea what language was being spoken.

Yinqi smiled faintly, "I am speaking the Qing language. Since you said those people were speaking the Qing language, you should be able to understand it. Why don't you understand what I am saying?"

"Da, Da Qing language?!"

The English came and made everyone dumbfounded. No, this is different from the Qing language he learned!

"How is that possible? You are not speaking the Qing dialect!" The English envoy, unwilling to believe, shook his head repeatedly and refused to admit that Yinqi was speaking the Qing dialect.

Yinqi was amused. He looked the English envoy up and down and said quietly, "I didn't speak the Qing language. Could it be that you, an Englishman, are speaking the Qing language?"

It was as if he had lost his brain. A Westerner said on Qing soil that he, a prince of the Qing Dynasty, did not speak the Qing language. If this matter spread out, even a three-year-old child would spit and curse these foreigners.

The English envoy could hardly hold back his expression after being ridiculed by Yinqi. He pursed his lips tightly and wanted to curse these Qing people, but when he thought that he was now in the Qing Dynasty, he did not dare to be so presumptuous and could only endure it.

Yinqi was more kind-hearted. Fearing that he would upset the other person, he took the initiative to give him a way out.

He said, "How about this. Our two countries are friendly countries after all. When your country encounters problems, we cannot just stand by and watch. You can draw a rough portrait of those who have invaded your land, and I will help you check where they are from. Then you can go and settle the score with them."

Yinqi's words made the English envoy feel more comfortable. He stopped being stiff-faced and nodded repeatedly, saying, "We have a painting. I'll show it to you."

Then he ordered someone to take out the portraits that had been prepared long ago, unfolded them in front of Yinqi and the others, and said, "Those people probably look like this, very similar to you Qing people!"

Yinqi took a closer look and immediately frowned in displeasure, raised his head and retorted: "How are they similar? Look at their hairstyles and their looks, how are they similar to us Qing people?!"

Knowing that these foreigners all have more or less face blindness when it comes to Oriental faces, Yinqi has no pressure at all when fooling them.

He even deliberately compared the portrait with the officials behind him and angrily said, "Look, where are they alike?"

"Compare it with the people of the Qing Dynasty and see where the similarities are!"

The English envoy had already lost confidence due to Yinqi's repeated questioning. Now, when he looked at the comparison between the portrait and the Qing officials, he completely lost his confidence.

He spoke with difficulty, using half-baked Qing dialect, and said: "Yes, we admit our mistake. Please don't be angry. Our two countries are very friendly, you know."

Hearing these somewhat confusing words, Yinqi almost couldn't hold back his laughter. He suppressed his smile and said with a serious face: "We in the Qing Dynasty are magnanimous and will naturally not be angry with you. We just hope that your country will have some sense of propriety and not damage the diplomatic relations between the two countries."

"Yes, yes, we will."

The English envoy no longer considered those who occupied their colonies to be Qing people. He felt that he was in the wrong, so he was naturally weaker in front of the Qing prince.

But in addition to apologizing, he still sincerely asked Yinqi for help, "Fifth Prince, can you please help me find out which country these people are from?"

"Don't worry, our country will definitely thank the Qing Dynasty!"

Hearing this, Yinqi's eyes lit up, the person delivering money had arrived.

He pretended to be calm and said, "This is not difficult, but you just slandered the Qing Dynasty so much, I am afraid that my emperor ... "

The English envoy was no fool and knew what Yinqi meant immediately.

He said repeatedly: "As long as your country is willing to help, we will present treasures as a thank you gift."

If it was simply asking for help, it would only be a small request. What the English envoys valued more was that this matter must not become a barrier between the Qing Dynasty and England.

Otherwise, if the Qing Dynasty intervened when their country was already experiencing civil unrest and someone was invading their colonies, the consequences would definitely not be what they wanted to see.

If sending some gold, silver and treasures could avoid this future trouble, the English envoy thought it would be a worthwhile deal.

Thus, the Qing Dynasty gained more money by getting something for nothing.

As for finding out what nationality those people are from, we will talk about whether we can find out or not later.

While the Qing Dynasty was negotiating with the English envoys, a war was breaking out in North America.

However, Kangxi and his men occupied the high ground and had both offensive and defensive capabilities. The English navy, unable to go ashore, could only rely on warships to continuously attack the enemy on land, and also had to defend against enemy counterattacks, making it extremely difficult to act.

In addition, Kangxi and his men also had warships, which made the battle even more difficult for the English Navy.

Just at this moment, there was a fire behind them.

I don't know which pirates were so eager to die. They knew there was a war going on ahead, but they still came up to eat some meat and drink some soup, and joined those who invaded the colonies to attack them from the front and back.

The ship was attacked from both ends and was surrounded, which made the English Navy so angry that they cursed these thieves for being inhumane.

"Damn it! Damn it! Where on earth did all these pirates come from!"
