Chapter 1242: Fatal translation

, The fastest update of the latest chapter of the Emperor's Rise!

Najib's itinerary was very smooth. After reaching the Mersing Port through the jungle, Najib forcibly recruited several large fishing boats and then sailed northward along the coast of the Malay Peninsula to Siam (Thailand).

Then, Najib took the fleet and entered the Ayutthaya City (later Bangkok North) from the Chao Phraya River. He met the monarch of the Siam Ayutthaya Rama Tiburti II and received Najib, but learned that Najib was actually riding He was surprised when the fishing boat came. After all, the Kingdom of Malacca is also considered to be a powerful country. Even, because it controls the traffic routes of the Straits of Malacca, it is even more expensive than Siam. The Najib was actually a shabby fishing boat this time, which was not in line with the image of a local tyrant in the Kingdom of Malacca ...

"Your Majesty, I'm here to warn you!" Najib was very clever and didn't call for help directly, but said warn. Sure enough, Rama Tiburti II no longer thought about why Najib came on a small broken fishing boat, but asked what happened to the Malacca Kingdom.

Afterwards, Najib started a fooling Dafa and described a group of "yellow-haired, green-eyed" monsters to Rama Tebodhi II. He broke the terrible "facts" of Malacca City with a 500-pound iron hammer ...

Rama Tiburti II was so scared that he swallowed and asked:

"That group of evil spirits is so powerful?" The Siamese believe in Buddha. The most terrible thing in their eyes is probably the evil spirits.

Najib nodded sharply:

"Of course, Your Majesty also knows that our capital is another 30,000 troops. But in the face of thousands of yellow-haired evil spirits, it only took more than a month to retreat into the jungle. The capital of your country has Chao Phraya. The river leads to the sea, and those yellow-haired demons like to drive a large ship to shore to burn and rob. "

"Then your envoy came to ask me for help in Siam?" Rama Tiburti II asked nervously. His brain is now fiercely fighting ideologically. Should he send troops to rescue Malacca?

Najib shook his head and said:

"To deal with this group of yellow-haired evil spirits, it may be necessary to use the power of Shangguo. The minister passed by Siam this time just to purchase some tributes and send them to Shangming Daming, requesting Shangguo to send troops back to the country."

"Okay, this idea is good!" I heard that no Siamese troops were needed, and Rama Tiburti II immediately agreed.

"That little minister purchased items in Siam to go to the tribute?"

"No problem, the solitary officials accompany you to purchase, and guarantee to get them at a low price!" As long as the Siam is not allowed to send troops, Rama Tiburti II will not care about anything else. Moreover, he also hopes that the Malacca issue can be resolved. Otherwise, the Kingdom of Malacca is about to perish, and Siam, which is adjacent to the Kingdom of Malacca, will also suffer.

Then, Najib purchased a large number of Southeast Asian specialties at low prices in Ayutthaya City. Then, he also borrowed two large ships from Rama Tiburti II and went to Guangzhou as a tribute ship.

...

When he arrived at the Guangzhou Ship Division, Najib cried as he met his father.

Ding Haishan was inexplicably mentioned by Guangzhou Shipping Division:

"Your ambassador, did your country die last year, did you report it to the court? Why did you cry again this time?"

"I don't know what the difference is. I was full of assassinations in Canada, and I was attacked by a group of ghosts!"

"What?" Ding Haishan was surprised. Then, began to ask carefully.

Najib naturally did not bluff like scaring Siam, but honestly explained the situation, showing that the enemy is strong, but not invincible. Otherwise, it would be bad to be scared that the Ming Dynasty dared not rescue.

Ding Haishan did not dare to make his own claims. After instructing the Chief Secretary of Guangdong, he dispatched a courier and hurriedly sent the message back to Beijing.

But the Ming Dynasty was overwhelmed at this time, because the Liuliu Liuqi peasant uprising broke out in Zhengde in the past five years. The court mobilized 100,000 troops to suppress it, but it has not been suppressed yet. Therefore, there is no time to take into account the external use of troops.

Therefore, in accordance with the opinion of Li Dongyang, Zhengde decided to send officials of the Ministry of Gifts to Malacca City, hoping to "repel" the Portuguese.

Considering that Kong Tai, who is in charge of the affairs of Dongpan Island, is also "Xi Yi", Huang Qinghe, the principal and guest of the Ministry of Rites responsible for the mission of Malacca, specially stayed in Quanzhou and sent someone to ask Kong Tai to act as an interpreter. Of course, he was enshrined, otherwise he would n’t be qualified to ask Kong Tai to be his interpreter.

Kong Tai, who received the imperial edict, was a little surprised. But soon, he happily went to Quanzhou to help guest translation ...

Because, Kong Tai remembered what Marin said-to find a way to deteriorate the relationship between Daming and Portugal. And as a translator, it's the easiest to work with ...

...

To give a simple example, the leaders of the two countries met. A leader said "Hello". If the translation is normal, it would be fine if it was intentionally translated into "Nima currency". Civil war.

Think about it, Putin said "Hello" to Trump in Russian, and the translator said to Trump "Putin said" grass paralysis "" ... This is based on Trump's temper, it is estimated that he will fight on the spot ...

As it happens, Daming didn't know Portuguese, and Portugal didn't know Chinese either. As the only bridge that can communicate between the two parties, it is too easy to do something in the translation process.

Of course, Kong Tai must not deliberately translate words that both sides greet each other into curse words like "Nima coins". After all, both sides are culturally highly intelligent. If this is the case, the fool can see the problem.

However, it's okay to say the meaning of the words of both parties in different tones ...

...

No, when the fleet arrived in Malacca City, Albuquerque personally brought people to welcome the Ming envoy Huang Qinghe. After all, Portugal also hopes to conduct normal trade with Daming.

Albuquerque reached out enthusiastically, intending to shake hands. But Huang Qinghe didn't respond, just arched his hands ...

This is also normal, as is the case with the Eastern etiquette, screaming at each other. But Albuquerque's face was a little ugly at the time. His hand stretched out and didn't respond. Was it shameful?

So, he turned his eyes to the commencing guest interpreter Kong Tai. Conte explained in Latin (the common language of European nobility):

"This is the custom of the Ming Dynasty ... Well, they think that the handshake is too dirty, so the hands of the two sides are not in contact, but just arch each other at a distance ..." Most of this sentence by Kong Tai is ok, but the sentence "Dirty handshake" was intentionally added by him.

Sure enough, Albuquerque's face suddenly darkened when he heard Kong Tai said that the other party was too dirty to shake hands, feeling insulted ...

After the formal negotiations began, Kong Tai became a demon again ...

"Where did the people like Er come from? Why do you want to seize the capital of my Daming country?" Huang Qing and Wen Cre asked.

Conta ’s translation is less polite:

"Where are you barbarians? Why should I attack the territories of the Daming Empire?" This translation means almost the same, but the tone varies greatly.

Albuquerque was really angry:

"Barbarians? We are great Portuguese, not barbarians. Please respect our Kingdom of Portugal, we are equal!"

However, when Kong Tai translated to Huang Qinghe, it became:

"We are not a fan, but a civilized man, no less than a civilized man of Daming. Our Kingdom of Portugal is equal to Daming! The Portuguese monarch is equal to the status of Emperor Daming!" It is very pertinent.

But the bad is bad, people in the Ming Dynasty don't agree ...

"Humph!" Sure enough, Huang Qing was dissatisfied.

You should know that the people of the Ming Dynasty had a deep "Heavenly Kingdom" plot. Especially the scholars in the Ming Dynasty naturally had the feeling of "superior." Dare to say that such a small country like Portugal is equal to Daming, it is an offense to Daming!

Moreover, at this time, Kong Tai also kindly told Huang Qinghe that the territory of Portugal is about the same size as Daming and Zhejiang provinces ...

Well, this time Huang Qinghe is even more unhappy. Even if there is such a large force in Mongolia as several provinces, you must contend with Daming. You are a small country equivalent to Daming's smallest province.

So, Huang Qing and angrily said:

"Portugal is only about as big as Daming's smallest province. The King of Portugal is about the same as a governor of Daming. How can I qualify as Daming?"

Then, Kong Tai translated "as faithfully" to Albuquerque:

"He said that the king of Portugal is only equivalent to the governor of one province of Daming, and is not worthy of being compared with the emperor Daming of dozens of provinces ..."

There is nothing wrong with this translation, but Albuquerque is angry. After all, Portugal is his motherland, and the Portuguese king is also his loyal monarch. Despise the King of Portugal, but despise him. And ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Portugal is also provincial. However, the province of Portugal is only equivalent to a state or a government in the Ming Dynasty, and a provincial governor, but it is equivalent to the mayor of a prefecture-level city in later generations. The use of provincial governors to describe the king of Portugal is indeed somewhat despising. Albuquerque did not know that a province in Daming is bigger than Portugal ...

As a result, the two sides quarreled in different languages. In the middle, Kong Tai seems to be persuading, but in fact is inciting the wind and leaving no trace ...

As a result, the two sides naturally fell apart. Albuquerque finally stated-Malacca City and Kuala Lumpur are already the land of the Kingdom of Portugal and will never be returned. And Huang Qinghe also threatened with an angry face-just wait for Tianbing to arrive, and then fling his hands away ...

Before leaving, Kongtai reluctantly approached Albuquerque:

"No way, the Ming people were so arrogant ..." Then in a blink of an eye, they followed Huang Qinghe like a dogleg.

"Bah, what's the matter?" Albuquerque didn't know how much his impulse brought Portugal a loss today. If he is replaced by Portuguese Foreign Minister Ricardo, he will not be as old as he is, and he may pretend to be successful. But Albuquerque is a general and likes to go straight. Coupled with Kong Tai's secret provocation, it inevitably turned over with the Ming Dynasty ...
