795 Going to Africa(1/2)

Prince Kong Dai finally followed Zhang Zhiji back to the fishing boat specifically negotiated. Seeing this, Minuyinte and Blake couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the two shameless little dukes Zhang Zhiji and Xu Yunzhen did not lie to them this time.

Soon the two large fishing boats left, and not long after, they returned to their small boat.

At this time, Blake finally couldn't help asking: "His Majesty the King, what do you say about the Emperor of the Ming Empire?"

Prince Kong Dai murmured: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire has no intention of making things difficult for us. We can leave with 60 million pounds of food and most of the gold and silver."

Sixty million pounds of food?

Fortunately, as long as you save some food, there is no problem for more than 80,000 people to eat for half a year.

In other words, no matter what, they will not be short of food along the way. If everything goes well, they will still have most of the food left when they arrive in the continent.

As for how much gold and silver is, there are tens of millions of taels. Judging from Prince Kong Dai's expression, there should be a lot left behind.

Brock asked again, "His Majesty the King, what about the other things?"

Prince Kong Dai still murmured: "We don't want anything else."

ah!

When Blake heard this, a trace of fleshy pain appeared on his face.

However, Prince Kong Dai seemed to be thinking about something important, so he couldn't ask more questions.

After a while, they returned to the port and boarded the dock.

At this time, the captain who was in charge of guarding the dock suddenly rushed over and said with a panic look on his face: "Your Highness, the warships of the Ming Empire have been fought, what should we do?"

ah!

Minuionte and Breck looked back and their faces changed drastically.

Didn’t the Emperor of the Ming Empire say that he would not make things difficult for them? Why did he send warships to fight again?

Twenty armored warships were followed by them, and they were less than three miles away from the port now, and they could be seen with their naked eyes.

Unexpectedly, Prince Kong Dai said without looking back: "Send the order, everyone is not allowed to resist, let them go ashore and don't worry about them."

ah!

What does this mean?

Not only Minuionte and Blake were stunned, but the captain who was in charge of guarding the dock was stunned.

Prince Conde did not explain the reason, and then said to Bulek: "Blake, take your guards to the arsenal on a fast horse, and let our people go back to the dock quickly and prepare to retreat. Don't worry about anything else, leave it all for the Ming Empire."

this!

OK, it's important to escape.

Bulaik was stunned for a moment and still stroked his chest and hurried away.

Prince Condai said to Minuoyinte again: "Munioyinte, go and discuss with those tyrants, and ask them to lend us the merchant ships, unload all the loaded wood, and prepare to load grain, water, fruits and vegetables and our army soldiers."

Well, most of their warships are not here. They either go to the continent or are on the way to the continent. It is impossible to rush back.

Moreover, even if they all came back, they could not hold so many people and so much food. They still had to ask the Dutch merchant ship for help.

Upon hearing this, Minuionte hurriedly walked towards the Dutch merchant ship not far away.

The retreat of nearly 100,000 people is not that simple, and there are so many things to prepare.

After Prince Kong Dai said that, he hurriedly walked into the city.

I didn't stay on the dock for too long.

After a while, Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming led 20,000 soldiers from the Shenwu Camp to the dock.

Not only did Prince Kong Dai not resist, he even sent people to bring Qin Yiming and ten thousand generals of the Shenwu Camp into the city, and cleared a large courtyard next to the Governor's Mansion and placed them down.

Immediately afterwards, he personally brought hundreds of trusted guards and pushed dozens of flatbed cars to the courtyard where Qin Yiming was.

Qin Yiming was really confused when he saw this.

The flatbed cart looks like corn on the cob, but it seems not.

Problem, they have brought enough military rations, so they don’t need to send them to them at all!

Prince Kong Dai said a lot about the translation he brought.

Immediately afterwards, he ordered someone to remove the cloth bag from the flatbed cart, put it neatly on the open space in the middle of the yard, waved at him and turned around and left.

The translator quickly explained: "General Qin and Prince Kong Dai said that the cloth bags are all silver ingots, one hundred pounds per bag.

I will continue to send it here later, with a total of two million pounds. Please take a look.

He still has something to do, so he won't be with him."

Uh, why are you doing this money for me?

The emperor didn't ask me to take this.

Two million pounds is nearly twenty million taels. Wouldn't you cause trouble for me?

Upon hearing this, Qin Yiming quickly squatted down and opened the cloth bag and took a closer look.

There are really silver ingots inside.

He picked up another bag and tried it, and it was about 100 kilograms.

Alas, this matter is correct.

He was stunned for a while when he looked at the bunch of cloth bags on the ground, then he said loudly: "Come here, hurry up and report to the emperor. Please tell me what to do with these silver ingots."

Taichang was a little confused when he received the news.

They really didn't expect Prince Kong Dai to be so happy.

As for what to do if the 20 million taels of silver, it is natural to move the Emperor's account to be safe.

After all, money is touching. With so much money, many people who don’t want to make mistakes will probably be unable to help but make mistakes when they see them.

He thought about it for a while and sent twenty wolf-fanged warships and Qianjinyiwei to specialize in transporting silver.

They will transport the amount of points they send to, and Qin Yiming is only responsible for the points.

Prince Kong Dai seemed to be in a hurry to escape, and was in a hurry to do anything.

As soon as he brought the money to the family, he ordered people to organize a convoy and began to transport food on the Dutch merchant ships.

The city of El Salvador has stored a large amount of food they have harvested over the past year, and 60 million pounds are definitely more than 10 million pounds.

However, he did not take too much, and he ordered people to move up one million pounds per merchant ship, and a total of sixty armed merchant ships were loaded.

Qin Gongming was responsible for surveillance, and he didn't have to use the pounds to weigh them one by one. Anyway, the emperor did not let him get stuck and only let others take away 60 million pounds of food.

The emperor just said, it's enough, it doesn't matter if they take more.

So, he just roughly raised a bag of grain and roughly estimated the weight in his hand, then carefully ordered a car of bags, and then ordered the number of people to move onto the boat.

Both sides had a tacit understanding, and no one provoked anyone. Although there was a lot of traffic on the dock, there was no sign of chaos, just as if the Ming army was not here to attack them, but to help them guard the dock.

Prince Kong Dai ordered people to transport the food, and then began to transport gold and silver to his warships.

Qin Gongming doesn't need to order this. Anyway, he has given them nearly 20 million taels of silver, and the rest is their own. They can move whatever they like. As long as it is not obvious, he is too lazy to go up and see it.

As for the sausage, fruits, vegetables, and meat behind, there is no need to worry about it.

These things are worth a few dollars. If they bring more, they can carry more, as long as their boat can hold them.

The Portuguese in the city watched the Anti-Habsburg Alliance keep moving things to the dock, and they were really curious.

What are these people doing?

The anti-Habsburg Alliance looked like they were running for their lives.

However, there seemed to be no battle on the port pier. Not to mention the roar of artillery, they didn't hear any sound of muskets.

Those wearing strange armor seemed to be their enemies, but they personally led these people into the city and even gave them a lot of things.

This scene was so strange that they couldn't figure out what was going on.

They also don't know what fate will be welcomed.

These anti-Habsburg alliances were a bit fierce to them, but they had not taken them to be slaves because they were both continental people.

They still have a little freedom in their lives, they just need to do some work for them.

I don't know what these newcomers will do to them.

After all, they have never seen a person who looks like this before, and they don’t know which force these people belong to.

Many Portuguese even had a hint of horror in their eyes, for fear that these newcomers would treat them like indigenous people.

This is how slaves of the deceased country are. When their country cannot protect them, they are like drifting fluff in the wind and duckweed hit by rain. They cannot help themselves and can only let others decide their destiny.

Prince Condé naturally had no time to care about these Portuguese people, so he just wanted to leave quickly.

He even kept sending fast horses to urge Blake, asking Blake to bring people from the military factory back quickly.

Blake was urged to have no choice but to drive tens of thousands of people to El Salvador like driving out slaves.
