Chapter 85: July Issue (2)

Yang Bo returned to the top deck with Wan Baine, the stern of the July was six stories high, and the back of the stern stretched out a long distance, which looked like a floating platform on the Bund in Shanghai protruding from the Huangpu River.

Wan Baien took Yang Bo to a room connected to the command cabin, which was probably his usual resting place, Wan Baien sat down, two guards with muskets stood straight behind Wan Baine, He Qifeng saw this, and did the same, and immediately stood behind Yang Bo, his body was very straight, his head was raised high, a pair of small eyes were wide open, staring at the two guards, and his expression was quite arrogant.

Huang Renjie was a little confused, he didn't know where to sit, he didn't know if Wan Baine wanted him to be the translator, he hesitated for a while, and finally chose an impartial position to sit down.

From the location where Yang Bo is, you can see part of the situation of the command cabin, there are five or six people busy in the command cabin, Yang Bo saw that someone is looking out with a telescope, and the direction of the lookout is the direction where the Shen family's fleet is located.

At this time, Shen Yanqing was afraid that she was also standing in the watchtower, holding a telescope and looking over here. Yang Bo muttered in his heart.

In the command cabin, there is also a long wooden handle, close to the top of the wooden handle, attached to a wooden mallet-like thing, the wooden mallet can slide along a wooden trough, when the handle is turned to a specific position, the mallet can be fixed in the wooden trough, and the direction of the ship can be determined, Yang Bo guessed, this is the rudder of the July.

Negotiations are about to begin.

Wan Bain picked up a wine jug, which looked like it was made of silver, and took out two wine glasses, the wine glasses were also metal, but the color was darker, Yang Bo estimated that it might be made of tin, which made Yang Bo feel strange, at this time Europe could already produce glass, and telescopes were already very popular in ocean navigation, but the wine glasses were not glasses, but made of metal tin.

The Dutch occupy a large territory in the South Seas, including Borneo and Sarawak, all of which are rich in tin ore, and even in Malaysia, which is famous for its tin products.

Yang Bo saw Wan Baine pour out some black liquid from the silver kettle, looking like wine, but smelling like it, Wan Baie pushed a glass to Yang Bo, and said with a smile: "Miss Yang , my friend, let's have a glass of wine and celebrate our perfect deal." ”

Nima is forced, haven't talked about it yet, how can the deal be perfect?

Yang Bo took a look, with a look of disgust, those black liquids, the origin is unknown, Yang Bo didn't dare to drink, and he didn't pick up the wine glass.

"Exam fee, mention?" Yang Bo asked, he asked about coffee or tea, do you have it?

Wan Baine suddenly changed color, and his heart was on fire, but it was inconvenient to attack.

In Europe, coffee is a valuable medicine, not a drink, unlike the Arabs, who have been drinking coffee for thousands of years.

He instructed the soldiers behind him to bring Yang Bo a cup of tea, using a porcelain cup, Yang Bo brought it over and tasted a taste, quite a bit of high mountain tea, so he took a sip of it beautifully, and even weighed the tea.

Yang Bo sipped the tea and looked at Wan Baien with a smile, but he didn't speak, since he invited me with a cannon, even if you want to trade, you have to talk about your chips first.

Wan Baie craned his neck, drank all the wine in the glass, and said: "Miestoyang, in your Chinese words, open the window and say bright words, I said directly, 100,000 taels of silver, buy your match-making method, my friend, I hope you can accept my bid, and we can cooperate happily in the future." ”

Now, Yang Bo's pidgin English is obviously not enough, Yang Bo motioned to Huang Renjie to translate, Huang Renjie breathed a sigh of relief, but Huang Renjie didn't know English, so he had to say to Wan Baine: "Mr. Wan Baine, you are saying it again in Dutch." ”

Wan Baine suppressed the anger in his heart, and said again with a dark face. Huang Renjie immediately translated it to Yang Bo.

"Mr. Wan Baine, I have already told Mr. Huang before, this match needs phosphate rock, and it can't be made without phosphate rock, even if I sell you the production method, where do you find phosphate rock?"

"Huh." Wan Baie sneered and said, "You don't have to worry about this, that's my business." ”

Wan Bain was born in the aristocracy, well-educated, but also has the capital of arrogance, at this time there are signs of industrial civilization in Europe, with the discovery of the New World by Columbus, the European scientific and technological community has also ushered in the spring, various disciplines are developing rapidly, and chemistry is also in the ascendant.

Wan Baine believed that as long as he got the match making method and obtained samples of phosphate rock, European chemists would naturally find phosphate rock, and he even thought that it could be found in Taiwan.

Yang Bo said: "Miss Ton Bain, now the match factory is worth 100,000 taels of silver, if you don't believe it, you can ask Mr. Huang to inquire, just ask." ”

"Again, that's your business, it has nothing to do with me, I only buy your manufacturing method, this will not affect your sales in Daming, you are equivalent to earning 100,000 taels of silver for nothing, isn't this enough? Mr. Yang, I must say that this is not only a transaction, we can also reap friendships. ”

Nima forced, is there a friendship forced by a cannon? Overseas market, I still want it myself, why should I give it to you Dutch? Yang Bo scolded in his heart.

In fact, it was Yang Bo's idea to sell matches to the European continent through the Dutch.

The Dutch are known as the coachmen of the sea, at this time they are veritable powerhouses on the sea, and in the foreseeable half a century, their strong position on the sea has not been shaken, until the rise of the so-called British Empire, that is, the so-called empire on which the sun never sets, the Dutch power at sea has slowly weakened, and at this time the British have arrived in India, but their presence in Asia, especially in the Ming Dynasty, is not strong, and it is not even as good as the small country of the projectile, Portugal.

Yang Bo was unhappy and said, "Mr. Wan Baine, I have a proposal, you might as well listen to it first?" ”

Yang Bo already had a set of plans in mind, that is, the Dutch would pay 200,000 taels of silver, and he could discuss with the shareholders to sell some shares to each of them to give two percent to the Dutch, and the European market can also be exclusively represented by the Dutch, and everyone can earn money together.

Yang Bo's idea was passed on to Wan Baien through Huang Renjie.

Wan Baine didn't even think about it seriously and immediately refused, this red-haired ghost seemed to be determined to buy technology, not any shares and exclusive sales agents.

"Okay, Mistoff Yang, I can bid 200,000 taels, this is the final bid, if Mr. Yang wants to refuse, please think about it and then answer." Wan Baine's expression became cold, he looked at Yang Bo sharply, and said word for word.

This is the threat of the red fruit.

"My method, I sell it if I am happy, and I don't sell it if I am not happy to sell." Yang Bo chuckled lightly and said lightly: "Mr. Wan Baine, I kindly advise you to consider my proposal." ”

"Mistjan, you'll regret what you said." Wan Ben Huo stood up, drew his saber from his waist, and slammed it on the table.

Nima forced, Yang Bo had already held back a fire in his heart, he was blocked twice by your gang of white-skinned pigs at sea for no reason, he was coerced on the boat, and he had to continue to suffer from the nest, he was impatient to wait, and Yang Bo was also furious.

"I'm sorry for your mother." Yang Bo scolded sharply, still in Cantonese, Huang Renjie must have understood, but he didn't dare to turn it, and he was stunned for a while.

Yang Bo shouted, "Listen to him." And he didn't forget to give He Qifeng a look behind him.

"This.." At this time, Huang Renjie was a little scared, his speech trembled, and it was too late to persuade him, how could he turn it over?

Yang Bo had no choice but to say, "Fake." ”

"By.."

"Bang"

Yang Bo raised his hand and shot, the projectile hit Wan Baine's right shoulder, blood gushed out, and the muzzle of the gun was deflected by an inch, otherwise it would have been a headshot, Wan Bain fell to the ground, screaming in his mouth, rolling on the ground in pain.

Yang Bo raised his hand and fired two more shots, and shouted, "Wind, leave it to me here, go downstairs, kill the three deck guns, block the deck, and I'll be there later." ”

The two guards behind Wan Baine were shot in the head, their brains were sprayed, and sawdust was splashed everywhere, and Yang Bo flew to Wan Baine's side and snatched his sword.

"Mr. Huang..."Yang Bo roared as he brandished the sword and wanted to throw it to Huang Renjie.

However, Huang Renjie was already frightened, squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, hearing Yang Bo's shouting, his whole body trembled, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, he couldn't move his nest, and he looked at Yang Bo straightly, like stupid.

This person can't count on it, Yang Bo squatted down, filled the paper bullets, and then picked up Wan Baine, pushed him, and rushed to the command cabin, this room was directly connected to the command cabin, the people in the command cabin heard the gunshots and Wan Baine's screams, and didn't understand what was going on, wow wow screamed, someone rushed over, Yang Bo naturally wouldn't be polite, the gun in his hand kept fighting, and a few fell down in an instant, blood flowed all over the ground for a while, and the living people were stunned by this sudden scene, and the timid one was already kneeling on the ground, with a cross on his chest, It seems to be praying.

"Mr. Huang, say, let them all kneel." Yang Bo yelled.

Huang Renjie was stunned, like a puppet, shouting mechanically, asking the people in the command cabin to kneel, and those people really knelt down, very well-behaved.

At this moment, Yang Bo reloaded the revolver again, and when he and He Qifeng came up, they carried a total of more than 200 rounds of paper bullets with them, which should be enough.

Yang Bo was loaded with bullets, and there was another thud, and he saw that there were no living creatures.

"Barbarians, they have already surrendered, why kill them? Devil, you're the devil..."Wan Baine's eyes widened and he screamed frantically, still in English that Yang Bo could understand.

When Yang Bo heard this, the anger in his heart rose vigorously, and the anger in Lao Tzu's heart was nowhere to be sprinkled.

"Nima." Yang Bo picked up Wan Baine's saber, sheathed it with the handle, struck it with his head and face, and scolded: "Are you still reasonable?" What if you block my passage for no reason? How to use a cannon to force a transaction? How can I count my Daming Haijiang as nothing? ...”

"Nima is a red-haired ghost."

Yang Bo was tired, and added indignantly, so he ordered Huang Renjie to tie up Wan Baien.

Yang Bo came to the console, the hull of the July was facing the Shen family's fleet horizontally, and he had to turn the course before the gunners on the lower deck reacted, so that the butt of the July was facing the Shen family's fleet, so that the side guns would lose their firing range, and Shen Yanqing and they would be safe.

"Left full rudder." Yang Bo had words in his mouth, and the movements in his hands did not stop.

Yang Bo heard the gunshots outside, obviously He Qifeng was shooting, he needed to adjust the course in place as soon as possible, and then fix the mallet, but it would take some time, and he didn't know if He Qifeng could withstand it outside alone, Yang Bo was a little anxious.

"Mr. Huang, come here." Yang Bo beckoned to Huang Renjie. Huang Renjie came over tremblingly.

"Mr. Huang, you've seen it all, these red-haired fans are nothing to be afraid of, now I want you to do me a favor, can I trust you?"

"Hey, when is it now, you still don't believe me, I fell into the hands of the Dutch, will they still treat me as a friend?" Huang Renjie's face was bitter, full of resentment.

"Good. I'll leave it to you here, remember to keep course and don't let the broadside guns be aimed at the Shen family's fleet. ”

Yang Bo handed the rudder to Huang Renjie, then pushed Wan Baine and rushed out.
