Chapter 52: Political Marriage
Well!
The atmosphere suddenly changed. Seeing some clues, Elizabeth smiled and said:
"But I will stay by your side throughout my life, my dear."
She rested her head on his lap like a cat, her bright eyes filled with deep love.
Stroking her hair gently, Zhu Xianhai felt a sense of loss for some reason, but he did not pay attention to this emotion. After thinking for a while, he asked:
"Elizabeth, what do you think I should do now?"
In fact, Zhu Xianhai had a rough idea in his mind. In fact, this matter was simple. It was just a matter of coming to the door.
But this matter is not as simple as building relationships through eating, drinking and having fun. What is important?
The important thing is to knock on that door.
But we don’t know much about the Mapuche people, so how can we knock on this door?
The countess raised her eyebrows and did not answer the question directly. Instead, she looked at Zhu Xianhai and asked:
"Dear, I heard that you Chinese have your own system regarding marriage, which is different from that in Europe, right?"
After a moment of hesitation, Zhu Xianhai whispered:
"Oh, that's true. The Chinese have their own system regarding marriage, which is indeed different from that in Europe." "Uh-huh!"
The beautiful countess smiled even more charmingly and said softly:
"A long time ago, I heard people say with envy that in China, rich and powerful men have many wives. Is that true?"
“There is such a thing.”
After smiling, Zhu Xianhai continued:
"But although you Westerners practice monogamy, you can have many lovers at the same time..."
"It does not matter!"
Turning around, Elizabeth looked at Zhu Xianhai with resentful eyes and said,
"The important thing is, if you want to gain the trust of the Mapuche people and want to truly ally with them, you have to make some efforts in this regard. There are all kinds of beautiful women among the Mapuche people. There are women like me, and some are both beautiful and noble... Of course, their mothers may be abducted white women, and there may even be some young ladies or noble ladies, whose fathers may be a chief or a general. Of course, they may not be upper-class ladies who are well-matched, but believe me, as allies, they are your best choice."
The countess looked at Zhu Xianhai with resentment, looked at him with a meaningful expression, and said:
"My dear, I think you should know what this political marriage means to you? It means that you will become one of their own!"
Zhu Xianhai opened his eyes wide in surprise, and it took him a while to understand what Elizabeth meant, and he laughed out loud.
"Elizabeth, are you... asking me to sacrifice my looks?"
"That's right, dear, I want you to sacrifice your looks!"
Looking at him with a smile, Elizabeth said in a soft voice.
"But, shouldn't you make a sacrifice now?"
The world is unpredictable and dangerous.
Fortunately, I still have my looks to sacrifice.
This kind of thing naturally involves multiple sacrifices of physical strength, energy, and endurance.
Although every man likes to have fun every night, the king, er, no, the village chief still has to attend the court early in the morning.
Although "Nanhua Village" is in a state of disrepair right now, there is nothing major happening in his village. However, after settling down here , Zhu Xianhai decided to give it a simulation.
After all, it's always better to be safe than sorry.
You still have to be more cautious in your life.
"system."
The system responded quickly.
The virtual light screen appeared again.
[Do you want to start the life simulator?]
"yes!"
This time the system did not proceed directly to the Sims stage, but gave another option.
[Whether the user is using the free simulation or the 2.0 version simulation. Current number of free times: 4 times]
Faced with this choice, Zhu Xianhai was a little hesitant.
There are only four free simulations left, and version 2.0 will deduct corresponding experience points for each simulation based on the length of the simulation time.
After thinking for a while, Zhu Xianhai asked.
"How do I exchange simulation experience points and simulation time in version 2.0?"
[1 experience point can be exchanged for 10 days.]
10 days.
Looking at his remaining experience points, Zhu Xianhai said proudly.
"We are still quite rich. We can simulate for at least a hundred years..."
Since you have enough experience points, you can choose the "pay-to-win" version and enjoy the treatment of a "paying user".
What's different about this 'VIP' user?
…
[Life simulator starting]
…
[On November 20, you landed at San Antonio Bay and established the immigrant village "Nanhua", with an initial population of 3,372 people (including 1,536 slaves)...]
It seemed that everything was going smoothly, and there was no difference from the first generation of Nanhua. What appeared before Zhu Xianhai's eyes was a rapidly developing Nanhua. The Chinese people in Nanhua fully demonstrated their talent as infrastructure maniacs.
In just ten days and a few miles, the once desolate beach was transformed into a nascent town.
…
Signal fire!
Suddenly, smoke signals rose.
Amid the billowing smoke, Zhu Xianhai saw that Nanhua Village was in chaos and a noisy sound was heard all around.
"Master, it's the natives. The natives are coming!"
"Don't be nervous. Follow the plan. Let everyone enter the city and close the city gates..."
From the time the second generation of Nanhua was first built, Zhu Xianhai had included the attacks of the Mapuche people in his plan. Compared with the first generation of Nanhua, the second generation of Nanhua had a city wall. Although the earthen "city wall" was only half a meter thick and two meters high, it was enough to stop the Mapuche cavalry.
"Team one will go up the wall and be on guard on the east side, and team two will be on guard on the west side..."
Zhu Xianhai was deploying defenses. He had already prepared a defense plan for the Mapuche attacks. Whether it was the watchtower on the top of the hill, the smoke signals, the walls, or the training of the Self-Defense Forces , they were all for this day.
In the blink of an eye, the Mapuche cavalry appeared in their sight.
Thousands of Mapuche cavalrymen surrounded Nanhua from afar and did not attack at the first moment. They seemed to be waiting for something.
Standing on the wooden platform behind the wall , looking at the thousands of Mapuche cavalrymen in the distance, everyone seemed a little nervous, and they stared at the Mapuche people nervously.
Soon the Mapuche people started to move, and although the scene of thousands of cavalry charging was amazing, they were nothing but trash under the continuous shooting of Henry's rifles.
Besides, there is a wall blocking the way. Unless the Mapuche people have cannons, they cannot pose any threat to let the Chinese workers in Nanhua who were once Taiping Army soldiers feel the shouts all over the mountains and the atmosphere of the battlefield again.
What happened next? A hail of Henry rifle bullets and a shower of grenades.
