Chapter 197: Take the lead

Li Zixiong said to Wang Yue: "Commander, if we put them back, will it threaten our brothers who stayed in Pingdo?" ”

Wang Yue waved his hand and said, "Even if we leave all of them at sea, this account will still be counted on our heads, so the result will be the same." The Zheng family used so many people to go to sea, and everyone knows what they are doing. Our brothers in Hirado are veterans, and they know what to do if they are attacked. ”

According to the base number of weapons and ammunition left by Wang Yue, it is difficult to attack the merchant hall without killing thousands of people, not to mention the care of Matsuura Jiuxin. The main force of the Zheng family is not in Hirado, but in Quanzhou.

Zheng Lian watched the Tiance Army fleet leave, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. After that, hurry back to rescue his brother who fell into the water.

The behavior of the Tiance army made it difficult for him to understand, if he were to change to himself, he would definitely take the failed fleet into prisoners, loot the spoils of war, or take prisoners as meat tickets and extort money from his uncle.

How did he know that Wang Yue didn't look down on his belongings at all, and Zheng Zhilong's income from tens of millions of taels of protection fees a year, Wang Yue also didn't look at it.

After Zheng Lian led his troops back, he did not attack the Starting Point City Commercial Pavilion.

The concept of these bandits is a bit similar to the black and astringent, I failed to cut you, you let me go, and I won't stalk and bully your little brother, that's too embarrassing. If you want to get back on the field, then fight again next time.

However, Zheng Lian knew that he was not Wang Yue's opponent at all, and he understood the firepower of those three warships. If there are thirty warships in this way, although Uncle Zheng Zhilong has 3,000 merchant ships and warships, it will be very difficult to win, so he must tell his uncle the news as soon as possible and deal with it as soon as possible.

After receiving the news of Zheng Lian's disastrous defeat from his subordinates, Matsuura Jiuxin was full of expectations for the weapons that Wang Yue would sell to him in the future.

What did Zheng Lian do when he went to sea, of course, he would not report to Songpu Jiuxin. As a sea giant with more than 100,000 soldiers and 1,000 warships, Zheng Zhilong and the Pinghu clan are only in partnership.

But Zheng Lian lost so badly, he could inquire about it as soon as he asked.

The Tiance fleet has embarked on its return journey through the waves, and this long-range training has not only trained the control of the ships, but also accumulated the actual combat experience of the officers and men of the navy, which is quite successful.

In the Dingyuan Ship Restaurant, Wang Yue and Lisa Minglini sat opposite each other, and Wang Yue said, "Miss Lisa, I officially inform you that we are about to return to Daming. ”

On the way back, after Li Zixiong announced to the European captives that he would be hired to serve in the Tiance Navy, Captain Derant was the first to respond positively.

These days, I have personally felt the advanced nature of this ship on the coast surveillance ship, which makes this old captain who has been adrift at sea for half his life curious, as if he has discovered a new continent, full of curiosity. I didn't expect to be able to play on this ship, so I accepted the invitation without hesitation.

Other European sailors were similarly minded and gladly applied. There is no harm without comparison, and the experience of these days has made them know that they are the dirt buns.

These European crews, in addition to the Dutch, also had those from other European countries.

Through Zhang Han, Li Zixiong and others, after many days of thorough investigation, it was confirmed that five of them may have had an enemy accident against the Tiance Army due to the casualties of the naval battle, and most of them can be inspected and used.

Given the seafaring knowledge of these European sailors, the most suitable job for them would probably be the position of navigator, but also for non-military personnel. Their skills in controlling sailboats are useless on modern ships, so they don't need to learn how to steer them.

Lisa's belief that the indecent assault she suffered because of her beauty had not happened after she was captured was both relieved and conflicted.

This gang is neither as savage as the other pirates, nor as old-fashioned and ruthless as the legendary Ming officials. Especially the leader in front of him, who behaved more civilized than the European gentleman.

And it was the gentleman in front of him who defeated his own galleon first and then the Zheng family's pirates with a snap of his fingers, but he was unscathed. What kind of people are these?

Lisa said, "What kind of job does Lord Wang plan to arrange for my father?" She already knew that most of the sailors had already been recruited, and only her father had not made any arrangements.

Wang Yue said: "I still hope that Mr. Schoutzin can continue to be his commercial representative, of course, the commercial representative of my starting city, and he will definitely be better than the Dutch East India Company where he used to work in terms of treatment." ”

Commercial representative Schauzin Minrij, Wang Yue still hopes that he will be the old business, and let him make the right choice after seeing the starting point city. In the future, the trade between the starting city and the West will definitely be dominated by the Han Chinese, but it will also need members who are more familiar with the situation in the West to join.

Lisa frowned and said, "Lord Wang, frankly speaking, my mother is still in Batavia, and my father may not be at ease to stay in Daming to serve you." ”

Wang Yue said: "It's okay, it's not too late to make a decision after you spend the New Year in the starting point city." I won't force people to make it difficult, and if you choose to leave, I will let you go. But maybe you'll like it and take your mother over. ”

Lisa has heard the name of the city of Start City many times, but what is that place? Makes her curious. Hearing that Wang Yue gave them the right to choose to leave, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and saw hope.

Wang Yue saw her brows stretched, and said with a smile: "I also hope that Miss Lisa can help me teach those European sailors to learn Chinese, if they can't learn it, maybe I won't let you go." ”

Oh my God, how long does it take to teach someone with little culture to learn Chinese? A year? Two years?

Lisa's head was a little big, but she had no choice but to say, "Okay then." ”

Wang Yue nodded and said, "The journey is boring, tell me about the situation in Nanyang and Europe, I'm very interested in it." ”

These are not secrets, Lisa does not think that Wang Yue's power will affect Nanyang and Europe, at most it is the existence of another Zheng Zhilong, maybe stronger than Zheng Zhilong in the future.

With Lisa's narration, Wang Yue learned that the Thirty Years' War in Europe had been going on for twenty years, Germany was still a small country with many princes, the European Renaissance was in full swing, and Nanyang had become a washbasin for the Netherlands, Spain and other countries. From Europe to the Cape of Good Hope to the Strait of Malacca, colonies and supply depots dotted along the way.

Lisa doesn't know much about the situation in the Americas and Australia, and the information in this world is not developed. But Wang Yue knew that North and South America had become the sphere of influence of Spain, Portugal and other countries, and the Mayflower had arrived in New York Mehattan ten years ago. The whole world is like a Go board, and the Europeans have taken the lead.
