"It's time to find a way to standardize the military song", after a celebration, others were still immersed in joy, but Liu Ximing said this to You Degao with some sighs.

Seeing You Degao's puzzled face, Liu Ximing smiled and said: "You can't encounter these scenes again in the future, everyone only knows that you can roar and roar, or shout long live, if there is a military song, everyone will open their voices and sing, it is both momentum and meaning, how good." ”

"Remember to remind me when you go back", Liu Ximing turned his head and told Li Biao.

The reorganized fleet again headed for the British merchant ships that had already moved forward.

At this time, on the British merchant ship, William and other British merchants were already shocked and couldn't close their mouths.

Gao De, how long has it been since I have seen such a great war, and it seems that the seas of the Far East are about to usher in a new overlord.

William looked at his first mate, and the two of them had a tacit look in their eyes.

"Hehe, it seems that after this trip to Europe, we should go back to Mingguo again."

First mate Henry also nodded treacherously and laughed, "A new war is about to break out in the Far East, and risks will also bring opportunities and wealth, Captain, your ideas are wise." ”

"Let's go to their ship."

You Degao had planned to sail to join the group of British merchants, but he didn't know that four small boats sailed out of the fleet one after another, blocking their way.

"We want to see His Excellency the Earl."

In front of the third-class battleship, the boat of William and the others was like a three-year-old child.

Looking up vigorously, William took off his hat and looked as if he were about to meet the king.

Seeing that Liu Ximing agreed, a group of sailors pulled a few businessmen up.

"Your Excellency, congratulations on such a great victory."

William's hat with white feathers in his hand danced again and he knelt down on one knee, followed by Daniel and the others who followed him.

Liu Ximing smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

"Who are these?"

"Please allow me to introduce you to ......", William hurriedly introduced his three partners with a respectful face.

"Please allow the four of us to take care of all your tea and silk at the price you offer."

"That's fine, so how do you want to trade?"

Liu Ximing was a little strange why they came alone.

A hint of sly look flashed in William's eyes, and he saluted again: "One ship is loaded with money, and the other is loaded with goods, so no one has to worry." ”

"Hahaha, it turned out that I was worried that I would attack you", Liu Ximing looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Don't worry, I'm also a businessman, besides, it's very rare to meet Britons here, I heard that you and the Dutch have a very unpleasant quarrel because of business competition, I don't know if you are willing to trade with me for a long time?"

"Your Excellency," asked William, tucking his hat to his chest, and asked very cautiously, "are you planning to go to war with the Dutch?" ”

"NO, NO, NO", LIU XIMING STRETCHED OUT HIS RIGHT HAND AND SHOOK HIS INDEX FINGER, "I'M A BUSINESSMAN, THE NETHERLANDS HAVEN'T INTERFERED WITH MY BUSINESS YET, I DON'T NEED TO GO TO WAR WITH THEM, I JUST WANT TO FIND A FEW MORE PARTNERS." ”

"The British colony is far away in India, and there is no interest in you in the Far East, so naturally it will not conflict with me, and it is the most ideal business partner, you and your companions can think about it."

Liu Ximing said this honestly, but William, Daniel and the others looked up at the huge battleship around them, and what they thought in their hearts was that they believed that you are a ghost.

However, Liu Ximing's statement was also very tempting, and the four British businessmen discussed a few words in a whisper, and William saluted Liu Ximing excitedly:

"Your Excellency, it is our honor to be your partner, but the Dutch control Malacca, and we cannot come to the Far East very often."

Liu Ximing pursed his lips and smiled meaningfully, "You don't have to worry about this, I believe that during the time you return from Europe, I will reach an agreement with the Dutch people that will allow my business partner to reach Daming smoothly."

The four British merchants looked at each other, and sure enough, they still had to resort to war.

Thinking that the Dutch had an extra powerful opponent for nothing, several people snickered in their hearts.

These people are not the kind of stupid people Shen Huai said, after seeing the Liu family's powerful fleet, they are also wary.

In order to secure the transaction, 17 British merchant ships were far away, and only two or three merchant ships were sent over at a time to transfer the goods, paying the money in one hand and delivering the goods in the other.

As a result, things suddenly became much more troublesome, and it was not until the evening that the two sides completed the entire transaction.

These four British merchants made a lot of money in India, and the goods worth 300,000 taels in the transaction amount were directly traded with gold coins, and Liu Ximing also gave them a discount of 5,000 taels as promised.

After this calculation, Liu Ximing had another 895,000 taels of silver in his account, and looking at the extra pile of cuties in the space, Liu Ximing felt relieved for a while.

"Gentlemen, I hope you can make a lot of money in Europe, and we will expand the trade next time we come."

"I hope it will be as you wish, your honorable Excellency."

Because they have been out of the Lingding Ocean, William and others are not afraid of the reef, and after the transaction, they will set sail, which is also one of the benefits of shipping, and there are stars to guide you to rush overnight.

"Set sail, let's go southwest and go directly to Hainan Island."

Guided by sextants and compasses, the flotilla fleet headed westward against the starlight and salty sea breeze.

In the city of Guangzhou, the originally peaceful Thirteen Lines were already very noisy at this time, and the stewards of the various businesses were irritated when they saw the angry commander in front of them.

The Guangdong sailors were defeated, and more than 30 boats couldn't beat a group of merchants, and they dared to come over to ask for compensation, and they really lived to dogs.

Even Wu Guodong's eyes when he looked at Jiang Wenguang were full of disdain.

"Lao Tzu repeats it again", Jiang Wenguang knocked the coffee table in his hand loudly, "Those red hairs have dozens of plywood boats, which are bigger than the lucky ships that Lao Tzu has seen, and there are countless artillery, how can Lao Tzu fight this battle." ”

"I don't care, you have to give me an explanation for this matter, otherwise this matter will not be over."

Wu Guodong had a headache, and then the steward of his house trotted over all the way and muttered in his ear: "Master, it has been investigated, many ships in the ocean have seen it, and what Commander Jiang said is true." ”

"Are there really so many plywood boats?"

Wu Guodong was shocked.

Jiang Wenguang knocked on the table with some dissatisfaction, "You deflated three people can't lie to you as Lao Tzu, I can say ......"

"Alright, alright", Wu Guodong interrupted him a little impatiently, "We will compensate for the loss of your department." ”

He stood up suddenly, "The key now is to tell the Zheng family and let them think of some way, otherwise we will not be able to control these maritime merchants." ”

"That's right, look for the Zheng family."

"As long as they still want to buy the road money, then they have to take care of it."

The leader of the Zheng family stationed in Guangzhou was Zheng Zhilong's third brother Zheng Zhibao, and he didn't dare to slack off when he heard the news that the stewards of the Thirteen Elements came to convey.

The biggest force in the South China Sea is his Zheng family, and other former brothers and rivals such as Liu Xiang and Li Kuiqi have disappeared, although there are still many scattered pirates on the sea, but none of them can come up with such a big hand.

It's pitiful to see, 10 years ago, there were only about 10 plywood boats in total between Hongmao Fan and the Zheng family during the battle of Liuluo Bay, why did they come out so many today.

However, what the Zheng family and the Thirteen Lines did not expect was that in the next period of time, the fleet of these dozens of plywood ships would be like ghosts and would never be seen again.

After inspecting for a month, the people in Guangzhou finally gradually relaxed, but the traveling merchants in Guangzhou City were unwilling, and no one came forward, and the money still had to be paid, which was really a sin.

The Liu fleet, which was remembered by everyone, arrived in Hainan on the third day after the Battle of Lingdingyang.

Because they were not familiar with the ocean, a group of people ran directly to the vicinity of Qiongzhou Mansion on Hainan Island.

After finding a group of stunned fishermen on the shore to inquire about the news, Liu Ximing once again took Fubo Shi and others south along the island, all the way to Yazhou.

Hainan Island in the Ming Dynasty was definitely a poor and remote land, a huge island, plus the Li people in the mountains, less than a million people, let alone commercial economy.

Yazhou named by Liu Xi is Sanya in the future, except for the scattered poor fishing villages by the sea, it is difficult to see even a merchant ship along the way.
