Chapter 383: First Mission
"Blaize, are you ready?" A few days later, in the harbor, Ji Feng boarded a huge sailing ship, the Fengming.
It was already full of cargo, and the crew and sailors were still busy on board, but it is said that Captain Blaise, who had returned with Count DeWitt, had already led his men to stand on the side of the ship to meet his master, Count DeWitt.
"Yes, Lord Earl, I have purchased four more large ships at your request, and all the goods on all five ships are ready to set sail. In addition, Lord Earl, there are more than a dozen merchant ships that want to travel with us, and you will need your instructions to allow it. Blaise said with some excitement.
It's no wonder that he was so excited, it was originally just a small detachment of the Divine Dragon Pirate Regiment, but because of Ji Feng's sudden visit, he gave Qi Cheng the opportunity to serve in person by the side of the Divine Spirit, which was an opportunity that others could not envy in hundreds of pirate ships, and now the Divine Immortal remembered his name.
"My lord, I'd better go with you, Blaise is still a little lacking in experience after all." Sean looked at Ji Feng with some staggering, how much he hoped that Ji Feng could change his words and bring himself, but the result disappointed him, Ji Feng seemed to be determined to let him stay in Ning.
"No need Sean, you stay and take care of the Earl's Court for me, and set up another company to buy those historical valuable, preferably official utensils, calligraphy and paintings, not only in the Netherlands, but in all countries in Europe, this task is not easy. I hope you won't let me down the next time you come back. ”
This is the early 17th century, and at this time, anything that will be brought back in the future is a serious antique, and the last thing I need at the moment is money. Ji Feng didn't want to let go of such an opportunity, the Japanese history museum built on Jeju Island brought millions of visitors from Japan every year, and it was all real money.
Sean reluctantly agreed, explained to his original subordinate Blaitze, and then turned around step by step, obviously not comfortable with him staying. He's the captain of the Windscream. Just because he had a higher culture and knew the real aristocratic etiquette, Ji Feng transferred him to the land. This made him very embarrassed by his love for pirate life.
"Mr. Badera, Captain Blaise will arrange a place for you to live, maybe you should go and see your bedroom now, Blaise has someone take care of Mr. Balara all the way. Now it's time to set sail. Those who are willing to follow, as long as they do it at their own risk, go for it. Ji Feng smiled and said to Badla and Blaise behind him while Sean got off the boat.
With Ji Feng's order, after Blaise agreed, he immediately asked the sailors to contact the other four cargo ships, and at the same time notified the merchant ships who were waiting for the news to go to sea together, and tossed it down. At least two or three hours later, I went out, and when I actually left the port, it was already early afternoon that day.
This time out to sea. The five galleons are all standard 1,000-ton big war ships, but according to Ji Feng's meaning, except for the Feng Ming with a small amount of cargo on board, the other ships are all full of goods from other European regions in the Netherlands.
After several days of sailing, the ocean-going trading fleet of 17 sailing ships had arrived at the Cape of Good Hope with 26 ships, three of which stayed in North and Central Africa, but many more ships had joined Ji Feng's fleet.
"Lord Earl, just walk west for about half a day before we are almost there, when we were chasing a group of natives before we found out there." After driving around the Cape of Good Hope for a few more days, and after choosing a northerly bay to land, Blaise led a team of about forty people to leave the port with Ji Feng and Bhadra, and walked west according to Bhadra's guidance.
At first, Blaise was a little hard to believe this guy's words, and he didn't say anything bad about this guy in front of Ji Feng, but seeing that Ji Feng chose to believe Bhadra with a smile on his face, he had no choice but to continue to follow with a group of pirates.
Whether what Badra said was true or not, Ji Feng's consciousness had already swept over. Ji Feng didn't know if Bhadra was lucky or unlucky, but he really found a gold mine in South Africa.
Naturally, South Africa has not yet been formed, and is now all indigenous, mainly the San and Khoi and the Bantu who subsequently migrated. They have reclaimed some land, but it is mainly concentrated around the Cape of Good Hope, and the rest of the place is basically wilderness, which is naturally no exception, and all kinds of wild animals can be seen everywhere, Ji Feng and the others walked for two days, and they encountered several lions, tigers and cheetahs, but with Ji Feng there, before these guys found the team, Ji Feng asked them to give way obediently.
When they arrived in the valley near a river that Baddera said, they didn't even need to look for it carefully, and they found several pieces of dog's head gold, and the whole team was excited, Blaise arranged the people on guard, and the rest were all scattered to find it, Ji Feng did not stop his move, but explored the entire southern part of Africa with interest and consciousness.
Ji Feng didn't know if the distribution of the two shijie's mines was the same, but in Ji Feng's consciousness, there were many mines in the entire southern Africa, which made Ji Feng a little envious, gold, copper, iron, oil and the sparkling diamonds, Ji Feng didn't dare to say that they could be seen everywhere, but they were also extremely rich, at least the content of gold, copper and iron was much more than the island he occupied.
Ji Feng checked the humans on the surface again, Ji Feng was immediately happy, Ji Feng had to admire the natives living on this continent, they not only had to solve their stomach problems, but also had to try their best to save their lives, because the wild animals here, especially the fierce large animals, were too much, and there were at least dozens of people fighting with lions and tigers in Ji Feng's consciousness, and some were bitten to death and eaten by these big guys. But more often than not, these natives used their wits to expel or kill these guys.
Putting his consciousness back to his side, Ji Feng really didn't know if this treasure was required in the space code, which could produce about a thousand tons of gold. But that's the total content, and it may take a long time to mine it, and with the current industrial level, Ji Feng estimates that he won't want to mine it in the entire two hundred years.
At this moment, Ji Feng began to curse the damn space code again, and resolutely did not allow himself to bring too advanced equipment over, except for his own use. But whoever is idle will take the automatic mining truck with him, it seems, if he goes back to the market. You have to stock up on a batch and put it in the space.
"Lord Earl, if we can occupy and mine here, I believe we will be able to mine more gold." Baddla just glanced at Ji Feng, then closed his eyes and looked pensive. I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Although he found out here. But his strength can't come over to mine, for those nobles who don't have much reputation, he doesn't dare to reveal the news easily, if Ji Feng refuses to invest, then this matter is probably going to be troublesome, and whether his life can be saved is a question.
Ji Feng glanced at him and chuckled, "Mr. Bhadra, I will seriously consider it." But this time, after we came back from Golden State, the fleet outside couldn't dock for too long. ”
Bhadra opened his mouth. Some of them followed behind Ji Feng and the others with apprehension and left this valley that filled them with hope.
At this time, a cheetah suddenly burst out from behind Badla, and when Badra didn't react, he threw him to the ground at once, opened his big mouth and bit his neck at once, Ji Feng and Blaise beside him could even hear the "click", which was the sound of the cervical vertebrae being bitten off.
Looking at Bhadra, who was bitten to death by a cheetah and still opened a pair of eyes in horror, not forgetting to look at him for help, Ji Feng shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said: "It seems that I don't need to share even one of your gold coins, I'm sorry Mr. Bhadra, your treasure will be mine." ”
Blaise was startled, and immediately shot at the cheetah with a gun, and at the same time protected Ji Feng with his body.
With the sound of his gunshot, the pirates who were in charge of guarding on the side also opened fire collectively, killing the injured cheetah directly out of breath. Hearing the sound of gunfire, the pirates who had dispersed also hurriedly returned with the loot they had picked up, some of which were eight or nine pieces, and some of which were two or three, and I have to say that the riverbeds and valleys near here were really rich.
"I'm sorry Gods, we didn't protect your friend......" Blaise looked at Bhadra who was bitten to death on the ground with some guilt, and the cheetah who was killed by his own group, although he said sorry on his lips, but there was no guilt in his eyes.
Ji Feng interrupted him with a smile: "Okay Blaze, your bravery made me decide to give you a new mission." Let's go back, you write down this place yourself, and when you go back, I will give you a new liliang, and you can make this place our land. ”
Blaize's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said with some excitement: "Yes, Lord Spirit, Blaise will be your most loyal servant." ”
After the group returned to the ship, the fleet continued to sail, when the fleet arrived in Golden State, the sailors of the 21 merchant ships that followed were stunned by the prosperity here, the wide roads, the gorgeous buildings, the various factories, the street lamps that will be lit when the night comes, and the bright smiles on the faces of the people here, all show the happy life here, and naturally also include the goods from Shijie countries that are piled up in various warehouses on the wide port.
Ji Feng thought that his territory was almost occupied, so in addition to retaining a part of the pirate group to continue the war, he began to focus on commercial trade and industrial development and urban construction in the base camp of Jinzhou (later Jakarta).
More than half a month after Blaise led a pirate group of five thousand people to go on a rampage to southern Africa on dozens of huge gold-armored iron ships, Ji Feng's consciousness finally came with a reply from the spatial code: Congratulations, the first mission, the treasure of Bhadra has been completed.
In southern Africa, that huge and rich land will become its own territory in the future, no one on this shijie will want to grab it anymore, the Dutch can't do it, the British can't do it, and the local natives don't even have a chance, because Ji Feng's order to Blaze is to eradicate all disobedient natives.
