The blue waves rolled up white waves and crashed on the beach. The fine sand seemed to be bright yellow flour, spread on the beach and allowed seabirds to walk on it. Rows of paw prints were submerged by the waves of sea water.

Then it was filled with fine sand. When the waves receded, it was as if those footprints had never appeared.

There were not only seabirds but also two men walking on the beach. They walked side by side on the soft sand, looking at the blue sea and listening to the roar of the waves as they walked step by step.

"Kui Yi! Damn the King of the Netherlands, you have to serve the King of Great Britain and Ireland now. Not your bullshit king, we will have our own positions in the East India Company. You, your wife and children, in this life,

You will benefit from it in the next life. You fucking tell me now, are you afraid that the King of the Netherlands will arrest you? Bah!

George told me that they had just defeated the Spanish, and England did not have to give anyone face in Western Europe. You will not be extradited, and you and your descendants will become rich. Besides, we don’t need to go to England, we only need to go to India.

good.

I have been there. Do you know how many servants there are in my house? More than 180 Indian servants, and I also have a British housekeeper. Every day when I go home and enter the door, I can see a well-dressed housekeeper saying to me, can

i help you! Sir. You have a damn good Oxford accent, which is called face. Face, do you understand? Face!

People live their whole lives not just for this face. I just can't stand Li Xiao's appearance of five and six people. Why? My father is a general and my uncle is a chief soldier. My Wu family is also in Gaoyou.

It can be regarded as a wealthy family with the heirloom of poetry and rituals. Why should he, Li Xiao, ride on my head with a muddy leg? Why?

George has promised that as long as you follow me, when you return to India, he will send someone to take your family from the Netherlands to India as soon as possible. Damn the Dutch East India Company, look at this damn place in Java. People are so poor that they are even wearing pants.

None. Look at those indigenous women who are shirtless and wear a few leaves around their waists as clothes.

You have nothing here! Money, women, status. You have nothing. Who knows if one day your king comes with a letter, you will be hanged on the gallows. Your body will be here.

Flies infest you with maggots, and within two days you will be nothing more than a pile of rotten meat, which will then be chewed into a skeleton by crabs. Maybe there are some birds in the middle, too, eating on you.

Are you sure you want this to happen?

Don’t you Europeans believe in God? You can go to heaven after you die!

Now you have one foot in heaven and one foot in hell. If you follow me, you will be in heaven. If you stay in this hellish place, I don't know what will happen to you after you die, but if you stay any longer, you will live in hell.

"Wu Sangui said a little excitedly, and kicked a crab that climbed up on the beach far away.

The poor crab had its claws in the sky, and before it could turn over, it was picked up by a seabird that descended from the sky. The seabird flapped its wings twice to thank Wu Sangui.

"I destroyed the navy of the Dutch Empire. In the future, the Netherlands will no longer be able to build a fleet. Everything is caused by me. If you are going to hell in the future, let me go. I am ashamed of my king!" Looking at the roaring

Dahai, Kuiyi sighed helplessly.

He hated the climate in Java very much. The strong sunlight hit his skin, and Kui Yi's skin was as red as a steamed shrimp.

"You bastard, don't you listen to me? Java has no future. There is no way to make money. If you stay here, what else can you do except rot? You know the latest cannon-making technology, and I know the gunpowder formula. Let's work together to make cannons for England.

This is such a good thing. Why did you suddenly go off the rails!

From Macau to Yizhou, then to Liaodong, and then you followed the Tatars to Guanzhong to cause trouble. What did you do? It was not Li Xiao who caused you to be like this today? Don't you want to take revenge on Li Xiao?

The English are going to fight Li Xiao! As long as I defeat Li Xiao, I will be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the entire Ming Dynasty will be ours. You can sleep with your arms around gold!"

"No! I'd better stay in Java and run this place well. Maybe His Majesty the King will forgive me. Since the Netherlands has lost Yizhou and Macao, it would be good to have a place like Java to settle in the vast South China Sea. At least, it is still here.

There is a port belonging to the Netherlands.

Look! In the past two years, I have cracked down on pirates and protected maritime trade. I have also expanded the original Java Port, which can now accommodate larger ships. More and more Ming people come here to do business, and taxes are gradually increasing.

Increase. Now many people from Ming Dynasty have settled here, and it will be very prosperous in the future.

The Ming Dynasty needs Javanese spices, minerals, and precious wood. I heard that Cinchona cream can be exchanged with gold at the same price in the Ming Dynasty, but it is everywhere here. Rhino horns, copper... these things are also trafficked to the Ming Dynasty.

It's a good price.

Of course, there are also duck fillets that were grown on a large scale in India by the English! However, the Ming Dynasty was very strict about this stuff, and anyone caught carrying it would be beheaded. Because of this, duck fillets were sold very expensively in the Ming Dynasty.

The profit is very high, very high!" After taking a look at the castle being built, Kui Yi's expression became vivid again.

He was the Governor of Java, and he was until there was no new news from the Netherlands. A round trip to the Netherlands these days would take almost a year or two. Of course, even if a new Governor arrives, Ku Yi can still find a way to make him disappear silently.

.Having been in business for several years, he still has this confidence.

"Just be stubborn, sooner or later you will cry!" Seeing that there was no way to convince Kui Yi, Wu Sangui had no choice but to leave angrily.

Since arriving in Java, he has seen countless natives building city walls. Seeing the densely packed sails in the port, Wu Sangui knew that this task was not easy to complete. In the past two years, Kuiyi has become prosperous, otherwise he would not have so much money.

Build the city.

The source of wealth can be easily understood by anyone. They are the newly built houses on the seaside. Those houses were built by people from the Ming Dynasty who ran boats along the coasts of Fujian and Guangdong. Because they wanted to do business in Java, many people took their families away and moved there.

Here, especially in the dispute between the natives and the Hakkas, the Hakkas who are at a disadvantage regard this place as their home.

Wherever maritime merchants gather, there is never a shortage of money. This is the truth!

Java's rapid wealth was also expected by Wu Sangui. Now it seems that Kui Yi wants to run Java as his own sphere of influence. It should be difficult for Kui Yi to give up everything in front of him.

But if Kui didn't go to India, he wouldn't be able to explain it to George. Wu Sangui knew the formula of gunpowder from the big hammer, but he didn't know how to make cannons. Kui Yi had studied artillery for a long time in Liaodong, and he was very familiar with artillery.

The research is much better than those in England.

The condition that George offered to Wu Sangui was that Wu Sangui must produce qualified and powerful artillery. To this end, an artillery factory was built in India. Just waiting for Wu Sangui to find him, work could start immediately.

"This stupid red-haired bastard!" Wu Sangui groaned angrily and sat down on the rosewood chair. He didn't understand what was so good about this thing. It was hard to sit on and didn't have the slightest comfort of a sofa. But, unfortunately,

This thing is extremely expensive in Ming Dynasty. I heard that there is a saying that every inch of wood is precious!

The weather in Java is very unpleasant. You will be sweating when you go out wearing shorts and shorts. The sea breeze blowing in the small building has a salty smell, and it is also hot. The negotiation with Kui Yi was frustrated, and the hot weather

, which made Wu Sangui’s temper very bad.

"Did you reach an agreement with Kuiyi?" Liu Rushi was dressed in a moon-white long robe, with a veil on her face and gauze gloves on her hands. Her black hair was blown in the air by the sea breeze, exuding a kind of

The elegant beauty of intellectual women.

Although it would be a bit hot to wear a robe, Liu Rushi refused to expose any part of her body. If it were not for the inconvenience, she would not even want to expose her eyes. The indigenous people of Java are very dark, except for the relationship between race and the sun.

The most important thing is the strong sea breeze.

Liu Rushi, who has lived by the water since she was a child, naturally knows the damage the sea breeze can do to the skin. She does not want to become a woman with a wrinkled face, because she firmly believes that if she looks like that, Wu Sangui will beat her without hesitation.

Into the cold palace. In India, she had seen how miserable the lives of lower-class women were.

"This red-haired bastard has become prosperous. The Ming Dynasty has been a lot more peaceful recently. Maritime trade is more prosperous than before. Java is rich in various precious woods, as well as copper, spices, rhinoceros horns, and cinchona. They are all in high demand in the Ming Dynasty.

goods.

Look at that area. They are all houses built by Ming Dynasty merchants. Those Hakkas who could not survive in Ming Dynasty took ships out to Java one after another.

With these Ming Dynasty merchants and expatriates, Kuiyi could earn a lot of money in taxes. You didn't see it, but he was already building a city. This means that he doesn't plan to leave, and he plans to live in Java, a place where birds don't shit.

He will be his governor of Java for the rest of his life. Our proposal has no appeal to him." Wu Sangui pointed impatiently at the noisy street in the distance.

Maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty built many houses around the harbor. Not only did they traffic Javanese goods, but they also trafficked some things that Java needed from the Ming Dynasty. Shiny glassware, soap that made bubbles when rubbed on the body.

The most popular is the green Liushen toilet water in a glass bottle. As long as you sprinkle some at home, Java's annoying flies and mosquitoes, as well as all kinds of insects you have never seen before, will detour away. This pair

This is nothing short of a blessing for Javanese people who suffer from mosquito bites.

In these days, many things in the Ming Dynasty are synonymous with advancement. Whether you give as a gift two pieces of worthless coarse cloth or a small box of Fengyou essence. The local people will immediately treat you as a distinguished guest, and they will give you their hard work without any regrets.

I will exchange with you the spices I collected, the rhino horns I hunted, and the cinchona I collected under the scorching sun.

"Yes! People have the final say in Java. When they get to India, it depends on the attitude of the English. If it were me, I wouldn't want to. Maybe it was wrong for us to leave Java and follow the English. You were determined at the beginning.

I want to follow the English back to the Ming Dynasty...!" Liu Rushi picked up a piece of milk biscuit, dipped it in the black tea and put it in his mouth.

Ever since she and Mrs. George got to know a group of English noblewomen, Liu Rushi had developed the habit of drinking afternoon tea. She firmly believed that only noble people would have such leisure to enjoy a peaceful afternoon tea.

"What's the use of talking about it now? The most important thing right now is how to persuade Kui Yi to come with us. The English man-made cannons are not as powerful as Kui Yi. Our new gunpowder can only defeat Kui Yi if it is matched with his cannon-making technology.

Li Xiao's battleship.

The English were frightened by Li Xiao. You have never seen those two huge warships. They were like two hills floating on the sea, without a single sail. Once a cannon was fired, the entire ship was destroyed.

I heard my uncle say before that some sort of steam engine was being tinkered with on Changxing Island, and it looked like it was tinkered with. What on earth was Li Xiao, a bastard, thinking, that he had so many fantastic ideas in his head?

Damn it!" Speaking of Li Xiao, Wu Sangui became irritable again. He grabbed the glass from the table and poured a glass of coconut juice.

"It's useless to scold here. Now we just have to find a way to get Kui Yi to follow us to India." Liu Rushi frowned and looked at the noisy harbor in the distance. It seemed that another ship had entered the harbor, and a group of indigenous people stepped on it.

Standing on the gangplank, we boarded the ship to carry the goods shipped from the distant Ming Dynasty. The goods seemed very heavy, and the natives trembled when they stepped on the gangplank.

You can see two guys in Ming Dynasty costumes on the bow of the boat, chatting happily.

"Nonsense! Why am I sulking here if you have an idea? I don't have any ideas. I just talk weird things all day long. If you continue to say weird things, I'll see if I don't beat you up." Wu Sangui was criticized by Liu Rushi one after another.

A stern warning was issued.

"Alang! Why are you so angry? The slave family is thinking about you." Liu Rushi quickly poured another glass of coconut juice and put it on the table. There are not many things to relieve the heat on the beach, and coconut juice is pretty good.

"Hmph!" Wu Sangui said "hum" and gave Liu Rushi an annoyed look.

Liu Rushi secretly sighed inwardly. Even though he was older when he followed Qian Qianyi, Qian Qianyi knew how to love others and was polite and courteous all day long. Unlike Wu Sangui, who spoke vulgarly and had an even more vulgar temperament. He raised his head and looked into the distance.

At the port, I suddenly saw thick smoke coming from a ship in the port. Then the noisy port immediately turned into a chaotic mess.

Blinking her beautiful big eyes, Liu Rushi suddenly said: "Yes!"

"What's wrong? Are you pregnant?" Wu Sangui's eyes widened and he looked at Liu Rushi who was smiling.

"What's going on! The Nu family is saying that they have a way to deal with Kui Yi."

"If you have something to say, let it go quickly." Wu Sangui roared impatiently.

"Kui Yi's source of wealth is these Ming merchants. If all these merchants leave Java and tell all the Ming merchants that Java is not safe, do you think Ku Yi will stay here?"

"Those maritime merchants have made a fortune, how could they be willing to leave."
