I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 1005 - Chapter 1005 History

Chapter 1005: History Chapter 1005: History Editor: Atlas Studios Of course, this would only happen in the west four months later.

At this moment, the foreigners were still shocked by Qi Haoran’s ruthless methods of eliminating Pedro and the other pirates.

They felt that this was a sign of Great Qi’s unfriendliness.

They felt a mixture of anger and fear, baffled as to why Great Qi would suddenly fall out with them.

Among them, the Portuguese envoy’s expression was the ugliest.

Pedro was the earl of their country.

Although Great Qi did not know his exact identity, it was a known fact that Pedro was from Portugal.

By destroying Pedro when the Portuguese were on a diplomatic mission to Great Qi, was Great Qi showing off their strength to make them cower?

Alas, no.

As soon as the news came back, Fan Zijin ran to them enthusiastically and told them with great excitement that the soldiers of Great Qi had helped Portugal capture the rebel Pedro.

It was the fortune of the two countries that they could catch such inhumane pirates even when they fled to Great Qi, and such a joyous occasion should be celebrated.

Fan Zijin even recounted Pedro’s sins.

In the end, he asked the Portuguese envoy with a sympathetic expression, “I wonder what major crimes Pedro has committed in your country.

Do you want Great Qi to try him for those crimes together?

That way, justice could be returned to the victims in your country.” The Portuguese envoy gritted his teeth and emphasized, “Our country does not consider Pedro as a pirate, but an explorer.” Fan Zijin sighed.

“This person has indeed changed quickly.

When he left your country, he was still an explorer that you admired.

After more than ten years, he actually became a big pirate who inflicted harm upon a region.

Previously, he even duped you into renting land from Great Qi.

Fortunately, my dynasty did not agree.

Otherwise, who knows how many innocent fishermen would die when this great pirate goes ashore.” With a bitter taste on the tip of his tongue, the Portuguese envoy said with difficulty, “There might be a misunderstanding.” The reason for Great Qi’s operation against the pirates this time was that Pedro’s pirates had gone to the Great Qi island to burn, kill, and plunder.

As it had even affected the fishermen along the coast of Guangdong, Qi Haoran had mobilized his troops in anger.

Fan Zijin shook his head.

“There’s no misunderstanding.

The victims are still in the government office.

It’s tragicaEUR”countless fishermen were killed or injured.

Also, the families of the merchants who were robbed and sunk into the sea came to complain.

Although Pedro’s crimes are not as innumerable as Japan’s Fujita Hideo, he has still committed many crimes and deserves to be killed!” I mean, what else could the Portuguese envoy say?

Everyone knew that Pedro was a pirate.

If he had not been caught, the envoy might be able to do something about it.

Everyone would have turned a blind eye to it and lived in peace.

Now, Pedro had been caught, his subordinates were either dead or captured, and the remaining few had also fled.

They were pretty much useless now.

The Portuguese envoy regretted not revealing Pedro’s identity earlier.

That way, the soldiers of Great Qi would have some scruples.

Although the Portuguese might have been a little restrained in their actions that way, it was better than losing Pedro, this lethal weapon.

If they revealed Pedro’s identity now, it would undoubtedly cause the two countries to officially become enemies.

This was because due to the pirate incident and the previous negotiations, Portugal was already on worse ties with Great Qi than the other countries.

If there was further provocation, their entire fleet would probably not be able to leave Great Qi.

The Portuguese envoy could only sigh and lament his bad luck.

He was also annoyed that Pedro had failed to restrain his subordinates.

However, when historians of later generations studied this part of the history, both the West and the East agreed that Prince Rong and Duke Fan were lying at that time.

There was no incident of Pedro’s pirates robbing the fishermen along the coast at all.

This military operation was prepared by Prince Rong in advance.

There were complete records of it left behind by the government office of the Guangdong Navy at that time.

Prince Rong was deeply concerned by the harm caused by the pirates and thus eliminated all the pirates in the territorial waters of Guangdong, leaving only the Portuguese pirate Pedro.

It was only because Pedro’s group was large in numbers and they had a solid ship and powerful cannons, that Prince Rong had spent some time planning for their capture.

There were also a few battle plans described in the records, and there were even specific timestamps.

These files were stored in the government office of the Guangdong Navy and later placed in the Marine Military Academy to be preserved as research evidence for future generations.

However, what gave the historians a headache was that Qi Haoran had clearly taken action half a month earlier than planned.

This made them puzzled.

What factors forced him to take action so early?

Historians studied that piece of history over and over again, but they couldn’t find any concrete historical evidence until the royal family released some information.

Among them, the most eye-catching was the correspondence between Princess Consort Rong and Emperor Taikang at that time.

The fact that the sister-in-law and brother-in-law had exchanged letters was already surprising, but historians were already used to it.

Everyone knew that Princess Consort Rong, Prince Rong, and the Duke of Peaceful State had grown up together and were watched over by Emperor Taikang.

What surprised everyone was the contents of the published letter.

This series of events was only because their children had been beaten up!

What made historians’ jaw drop the most was that the ancestor of the world-renowned Zhou Corporation had actually been a spy for Great Qi.

Through the correspondence between Princess Consort Rong and Emperor Taikang, they learned that the fuse of this matter was the beating of their children.

That was also the cause of Princess Consort Rong’s aggressive export of porcelain, glass, clocks, and other handicrafts to various European countries.

She had seized the European market because those foreign envoys had instructed Joao and Jose to approach her children, causing them to conflict and get into a fight.

This was pure revenge on her part.

‘You caused my children to be beaten up because of this aim?

Fine, I’ll see to it that your aim falls through.

And, I’ll make you lose even more.” The Western historians, who had also obtained the research materials, were so angry that their eyes turned red.

Was there anyone who doted on their children so much?

Meanwhile, the Chinese historians who were holding the historical materials left behind by their ancestors had mixed feelings.

They didn’t know if they should be glad that they had a Prince and Princess Consort who doted on their children to the max.

This also explained why the Duke of Peaceful State had suddenly attached great importance to the tax standards imposed by foreign ports on Great Qi merchants.

As well as why he spent nearly five years getting the Western countries to lower tariffs on Great Qi goods.

When it came to the importance of giving birth to naughty children, this became the topic that the history students of later generations were most interested in.

At this moment, the brats who were the culprits were leaning their heads against each other and fantasizing about a beautiful future.

Tiger Head was so hungry that he smacked his lips and made a wish.

“When my injuries recover, I want to eat ten pork trotters, ten lion heads, a bowl of braised pork belly, and chickenaEUR|” Little Lion looked at his brother disdainfully and said, “Don’t just think about food.

We’re thinking about how to take revenge on Joao and Jose.” Tiger Head said with a bitter expression, “But I’m really hungry.

Mother said that before I recover, I’m not allowed to eat these things.” Little An was helpless.

“Didn’t you just eat pork ribs stewed with corn?

On top of a basin of pork ribs?” “That’s too bland.

I want to eat braised pork trotters, braised lion’s head, braised pork bellyaEUR|” Little An covered his mouth and asked Little Lion, “Why is his appetite so good all of a sudden?

He didn’t have a preference for such heavy flavors in the past.” “I know.” The Second Prince raised his hand and said solemnly, “He must be growing more and more like Fourth Uncle.

Fourth Uncle likes to eat heavily-flavored food, and so does my Royal Father.” Tiger Head pulled Little An’s hand off and reached out to cover his stomach with his swollen hand.

He shouted, “I suspect there’s a hole in my stomach.

No matter how much I eat, I get hungry again in no time.”
