Chapter 17 Yun Zhao made a big bet at sea(2/2)
Watching Han Xiufen enter the cabin, Liu Mingliang and Zhang Chuanli looked at each other, and the idea of trying to limit Han Xiufen's power just now disappeared.
The two of them had never doubted Han Xiufen's loyalty. If the loyalty of those who came out of Yushan Academy was still a problem, it would be ridiculous.
The biggest danger to the Lantian is not the sultans and caliphs who give rewards, but Cohen, the governor of the Dutch East India Company.
If Han Xiufen just wants to be a pirate, then the conflict between Lantian and Cohen is not deep, and there are even common interests.
However, Han Xiufen's pirate was just a springboard for her. After this year's robbery, Han Xiufen, Liu Mingliang, and Zhang Chuanli had to admit that this was an extremely prosperous sea.
There are countless precious resources on this coastline. When the people of Lantian County have to work hard to fill their stomachs, the pigs here just need to lie under the coconut trees to sleep to get enough food.
All three of them have experienced hard days. When they found the savage lying under the coconut tree and were smashed to death by the coconut, endless resentment arose in their hearts.
The Dutch East India Company, just a shop, actually monopolized all the foreign trade of Japan and occupied Taiwan. Where to get pepper, deer skin, venison, linen, cotton... Just for deer skin, Liu Mingliang and the others robbed 60,000 pieces.
They gained countless wealth through robbery, but unfortunately, these wealth could not be returned to Lantian County, especially deer skin, and could only watch it rot.
The two of them drew countless lines on the map, but eventually they had to give up - it was too far away.
After spending another night in vain, the sleepy Zhang Chuanli said, "You said, does Han Xiufen already have a solution?"
Liu Mingliang stuffed his head into the bucket and vomited a string of bubbles and said, "You said that woman?"
Zhang Chuanli said: "We don't have enough brains, so we should ask smart people. In the past, when we were in the academy, there were more smart people than dogs, and we ignored them. Now, it is really difficult to find a smart person."
"Ask Han Xiufen."
Zhang Chuanli agreed with Liu Mingliang's suggestion and the two came to Han Xiufen's cabin.
Fortunately, there is no unsightly picture.
Han Xiufen was combed in the dignified Yushan Academy hairstyle, but she had a lot of hair. After combing this hairstyle, she seemed to have two heads.
The blond girl was wearing a cylindrical linen skirt all over her body, and she didn't really look good. However, a piece of cloth hung on her maid was hanging all over her body, which made people's breathing become rapid after seeing it.
After the two explained their purpose, Han Xiufen said: "The most troublesome thing now is that we cannot establish contact with Lantian County.
It is impossible to pass the Han merchant ships here. We have had a feud with Shibazhi, and no one is willing to help us. In the past, when Zheng Zhilong's family was not growing up, we could also use the people among Shibazhi. Now, Zheng Zhilong unified Shibazhi, and Liu Xiang and other pirates have died, so it is impossible.
This time I want to use this Leonie, and after robbing the Dutch merchant ship next time, I will leave a living mouth to let him tell Cohen that if his daughter returns safely, he needs to discuss the ransom with the county master. In this way, the county master will have a way to contact us."
Liu Mingliang and Zhang Chuanli nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Zhang Chuanli even flatteredly helped Han Xiufen sort out his hairstyle. He felt that Han Xiufen's hairstyle was not right.
The two of them thought about it for a long time but couldn't do anything. It seemed that nothing was difficult in Han Xiufen's hands. When they saw the Dutch girl for the first time, it seemed that this idea had already taken shape. Sometimes, the gap between people is even bigger than the gap between people and pigs.
Young Master Qian put his hands in clean water, and watched the blood stains on his hands gradually fade into clean water. After changing to two basins of water, his hands became as white as jade again.
At this moment, Qian Duoduo was excitedly holding Han Xiufen's handwritten letter to Yunzhao and Feng Ying about Han Xiufen's glorious deeds on the sea.
Others can't understand this letter because this thick letter is completely written in pinyin. The Dutch people cannot understand it, and the Ming people cannot understand it. Only in Yushan Academy can small children read it clearly.
"The Dutchman Van der Sar is really bad. He was obviously Han Xiufen's messenger, but he hid the letter and didn't tell us. He also wanted to oppress us and ordered Han Xiufen to release him. It was so cunning. If it weren't for the young man's last use of the means, this guy would have thought of getting away with it.
No, I have to ask the young man to interrogate him again. Han Xiufen said that she made me a pearl the size of an egg, so that she should not be swallowed by this Dutchman.”
Yun Zhao grabbed Qian Duoduo and said, "Stay for a while, don't run away again. Where did you get the pearls that are as big as eggs? This is Han Xiufen lying to you. She was afraid that we would not pay attention to maritime trade, so she used this thing to lure us. The same is true for the ten-meter-high coral that promised to Feng Ying.
I thought she was a little more reliable when she went to the sea, but she still liked to make trouble so much.
Now, please help me write a letter to Han Xiufen in pinyin, telling him that I am going to make some deal with Zheng Zhilong, he helps me at sea, and I will help him on land.
This man was determined to become king in Taiwan. Now that the island was occupied by the Dutch, Zheng Zhilong's men may be quite brave at sea, but he was useless on land. It is not a matter of overnight to build a strong army. If he wants to Taiwan, he has to rely on our strength, so I am not afraid that he will harm Han Xiufen and the others.
Tell Han Xiufen that before we established our own contact channels, we would use Zheng Zhilong's. At the same time, since she wanted to form a navy army, we would send people there continuously and build three warships in Quanzhou and Guangzhou for her, which were the same as the Lantian.
However, she had to pay the fee herself. In addition, since she could not go to Europe, I would send someone to take over and continue to complete the trip to Europe."
While Yun Zhao said, Qian Duoduo wrote quickly, Feng Ying said worriedly: "We built warships with such a big fanfare, probably not something that Yu, a dilapidated family who only relied on the faces of his old disciples and officials."
Yun Zhao said: "Yu Zigao, in the Battle of Tongshan, the Dutch encirclement and suppression of Zheng Zhilong, the entire army was wiped out. It was a miserable situation for the general of Fujian to be beheaded.
But he is Yu Dayou's son.
Aying, the Qi family army still has a few people who can fight now. Why didn’t Yu Dayou, who was on par with Qi Shuai back then, leave half of the people who can be used?"
Feng Ying spread his hands and said, "There is no way, there is only these left. The master just needs to use them. Some are better than none."
"It seems that we have strengthened the construction of Fujian and Guangdong. We told Mr. Xu that this year, we will recruit more Fujian and Guangdong students, not any descendants of famous generals, but only scholars from ordinary people."
Feng Ying nodded. It was not too late to cultivate his own people at this time."
Zheng Zhibao did not leave Lantian County, he was waiting for Van der Sar.
Since we came together, we naturally have to go back together.
He naturally knew about Yun Zhao's words and deeds forcing confession to Van der Sar, and did not think something was wrong. Yun Zhao's many ways of dealing with things are very similar to those of his elder brother.
They are all so simple and direct!
But after thinking about it, I understand that one is a bandit family and the other is a pirate. It is too common to have something in common.
I haven't seen Van der Sar for three days. When I saw him again, this pale man looked like a vampire.
But his clothes were still intact and even neat, with no scars on his face or hands.
However, from Van der Sar's walking posture, Zheng Zhibao felt that this guy was at least one hundred years old.
His spirit seemed to have been drained.
Van der Sar fell asleep when he came back, and even in his sleep he would cry like a baby aggrieved cry.
In the past three days, Zheng Zhibao did not go to see the prosperity of Lantian County, but stayed in the Fenghuang Mountain Military Camp for three days.
During these three days, he unknowingly spent as much as 230,000 taels of silver.
After personally experimenting with the new weapons in Lantian County, if he could make a bigger decision, he would definitely spend more money without hesitation.
Of course, these silvers will not be delivered in Lantian County, and will not even be given silver to Lantian County in the future, but will be delivered in Guangzhou in the form of goods.
