Chapter 129 The Portuguese Captain(2/2)
Only a fool believes that they only transport grain! How much money can you make by transporting grain to Yuegang? This route is extremely rich!
It seems that the Portuguese captain is not as honest as he seems.
Su Ze suddenly said: "Is there any Jesuit priest on board?"
Alfonso was stunned. Even the Jesuits knew about this Ming Dynasty?
According to the regulations of the Portuguese royal family, there must be two Catholic priests on board any royal ship to be responsible for prayers, healing and funerals on board.
Alfonso's ship was no exception. He just ordered his first mate to call the priest who was accompanying the ship.
Father Pierre didn't understand Chinese anyway, so he had to translate it himself in the end.
A priest came out from below the deck. Su Ze searched for a sentence in English and greeted the old priest.
Not only Alfonso and the old priest, but also Lin Mojun were shocked.
Does Su Ze know the Xiyi language?
[The skill "English" has been learned, and the combined evaluation level is Lv3, 1/300]
Only Lv3?
Hey, the college entrance examination is the peak of English proficiency. After CET-4 and CET-6, the English level drops rapidly. Su Ze did not time travel after working. If he time travel again after working, he may not even have Level 2.
But as soon as he spoke English, Su Ze regretted it. As expected, the old priest showed an angry expression.
How could I forget this!
The Portuguese, who believe in God, are bitter enemies of the English, who believe in Protestantism!
English is not a world language these days.
But you don’t know other languages?
The old priest chattered for a long time. He seemed to be speaking French?
[The Manila Galleon was found at the location where you can learn the skill "French". Do you want to learn it? 】
Needless to say, learn!
[Learned skills, French, Lv1, 1/100]
However, Level 1's French was not enough to understand the old priest's protest. Su Ze picked a greeting for a formal occasion, and the old priest immediately stopped.
In a faraway eastern country, are there people who can speak French?
The old priest could also speak Portuguese, but he always insisted on praying in French. The old French priest believed that French was the most beautiful language in the world.
However, Level 1 French can only exchange simple greetings, but this is enough to expose the captain's lies.
Under Su Ze's warm greetings, the old French priest happily told Su Ze the place where the captain hid the spices. The clergy were senior personnel on the ship, and the crew often came to them to make confessions. The secrets on the ship could not be hidden at all.
them.
Captain Alfonso's face turned pale. Su Ze was the strangest Ming Dynasty officer he had ever met. He couldn't even speak that complicated French fluently. Su Ze could actually talk to the old priest?
After searching for the spices, the next step was the highlight. Su Ze asked Captain Alfonso with a smile on his face:
"Captain, where is the gun room?"
1 In the thirty-third year of Jiajing, Spain had not yet annexed Portugal.
2 The Society of Jesus, a Catholic organization established in France, mainly opposed to Protestantism.
3 The history of the West in this era cannot but talk about the struggle between Protestantism and Catholicism, which I will write about later.
4 We need to look at many Western characters dialectically. They are adventurers and executioners.
5 We should also look at certain religions and Christianity dialectically. The Sudan of this era is obviously more enlightened
6 The financial issues of the Ming Dynasty will be discussed soon. This is a huge and complicated pit, and it even corresponds to some current phenomena. Fat Bird has no meaning in mapping it. It can only be said that there is nothing new in history.
