Chapter 726: Target Ceylon (Page 1/1)

Johnny got up and said, "Dear sir! It doesn't matter who you are, you've won the game. I will lead the lads to surrender, and please give us prisoner of war treatment! ”

As soon as Qian Bing waved his hand, his men immediately rushed forward and tied up all these sailors. And he himself came up to Johnny and said, "Captain Johnny! Do you have a license to smuggle? If not, you're a pirate. As you would with pirates, you will be hanged! ”

"No!" Johnny immediately shouted, and the bound sailors were stunned. One by one, they wanted to struggle, but they were smashed on the deck by the guards of Qian Bing's men.

"You can't do that! We are legitimate merchants, and Your Excellency is a pirate. We're willing to pay a ransom in exchange for freedom, and that's good for you! Johnny argued that he couldn't admit that he was a pirate, and that there was no place to reason if he was hanged.

"Captain Johnny, you're wrong, the first is that you boarded our ship to rob it, and you once fired a cannon and threatened me to stop it.

Second, it doesn't matter if I'm a pirate, because I have a license to smuggle. Only when you are caught can you enjoy the treatment of prisoners of war, and you, hehe......" Qian Bing said unhurriedly, and Johnny's eyes widened when he heard it.

"Nope! His Majesty won't give you a permit, you're lying......" Johnny was interrupted by Qian Bing before he could finish speaking.

Qian Bing said loudly: "Joke! I'm going to use your shitty king's license for smuggling? Tell you, remember later. Lao Tzu's sea wolf used the smuggling license issued by the Marquis of Dingliao in the Changxing Army! Wait for you to be hanged! ”

After saying that, Qian Bing turned around and left without looking back, someone had already controlled the Bad Boy armed merchant ship. Johnny sat down on the deck as he looked up at the wolf's tall mast and stretched his neck involuntarily.

Looking at Qian Bing's back farther and farther away, he stood up abruptly and shouted, "Your Excellency, Captain! Your Excellency, Captain! I have...... Yes! Shet! ”

As soon as Johnny got out of the building, he was slammed into his lower abdomen with a handle, and he was so painful that he couldn't say a word as he rolled over on the deck.

Just as Johnny was in despair, the characteristic footsteps came again. Johnny seemed to grasp the last straw and leaned down on the ground to look up.

I saw a young face looking at him through the sun, "I hope you can say what I'm interested in, otherwise you will regret coming to this world!" ”

……

On a small island with no people, Qian Bing and a few people were discussing things around a bonfire. Three days had passed since the looting of the three Galen ships, and the looted blankets, precious stones, cardamom, peppercorns, and other goods had been loaded onto an armed walrus merchant ship and brought back to Manchurian.

They were accompanied by two Galen merchant ships, but they were carrying captured Dutch sailors. These people will be sent to the coolie camp of the Old Port Propaganda Division, and they will make their due contribution to the better development of Sumatra Island by the Changxing Army.

What made the soldiers hesitate was Johnny's last news, and the Dutch people had bought a large number of precious stones in Ceylon to be shipped to Manchu Thorn Plus in exchange for raw silk, porcelain, tea and other goods of the Ming Dynasty.

They have lost East Asia, and if they want to continue to make good profits in the East, they need to control the Indian Ocean routes. Ceylon was a crucial part of this, as they seized control of Ceylon and established a Tamil kingdom in the hands of the Francophiles.

It's what they do best, not to mention the fact that this island nation is rich in gemstones. Gemstones of all kinds of brilliant colors can be found everywhere, and no one will be tempted by this low-hanging fruit.

This time, the Dutch hoarded a large number of precious stones in Ceylon and took over the port here. Only a small part of them were brought with them this time, and there were many more gems in the warehouses of the port.

Qian Bing's headache now is how credible Johnny's words are, if there is a trap there, he will probably fall into the net.

Then the smuggling fleet he had worked so hard to build would be in vain, and most importantly, their dreams of domination would be shattered.

"Brother! How credible are Johnny's words? Should we take the risk? When Qian Bing encounters such a problem, he will ask his good brother Li Wei.

Li Wei looked at the fire and said, "Brother! Back then, we crawled out of the pile of dead people together, and I will support you no matter what decision you make! ”

"We're going to rob! It doesn't matter if he has a jewel in Ceylon, he can run away when he is in danger. What if there is an ambush? Is it still possible to be ambushed by the Dutch last time? Chen Decai said nonchalantly.

Qian Bing was stunned for a moment, and then laughed self-deprecatingly. I haven't seen Chen Decai yet, so I don't know if there is an ambush to see.

Where in the world is there no danger? Sailing at sea is dangerous, and sailing at sea is even more dangerous if you are engaged in trading without capital. Since there is danger everywhere, what can you do if you go to Ceylon?

Can those sailing ships in Ceylon keep these sea wolves behind? He still really looks good at that group of people, with the firepower of the wolf battleship and the speed of the four walrus armed merchant ships, he can definitely kill seven in and seven out of Ceylon.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered all the sea wolves to gather. Boarding the battleship and marching towards Ceylon, this time the blue flag was still hoisted on their masts, but with a wolf's head embroidered with gold thread on it.

Located on the southernmost island of India, Ceylon is the most important transit hub on the Indian Ocean shipping routes. Almost all the ships that pass through here have to be replenished from here, so there are many ships coming in and out of the port of Ceylon every day.

More than 100 years ago, it was favored by the Francophiles, and later the Dutch people also meowed here. Recently, he has directly snatched it, but the Francophone is unwilling to fail. They also supported their own spokesman, the Sinhalese Kingdom, on the island.

The chaos on the island has never stopped, the Sinhalese kingdom is weak but harassing around the island, and the troubled Ceylon wars are constantly occurring, often appearing in important locations of the Tamil kingdom to wreak havoc.

Even so, the Dutch only had a firm grip on the port of Ceylon, the most important transport hub in the Indian Ocean.

According to Johnny, the port of Ceylon was garrisoned by three Dutch warships, and there were three hundred Dutch soldiers in Ceylon City, not far from the port.

The Dutch people are the existence of the emperor in Ceylon, so the military discipline of these Dutch soldiers is very poor. Nothing important will not appear in the barracks, but go and have fun separately.

Therefore, Ceylon's defense can be said to be lax, and it is definitely the most ideal target to attack.
