Chapter Twenty-One: A Merchant Ship (Ask for Recommendations!) )
The sailors standing behind were bloodless with fear, fearing that they were turning their guns on them. Originally, after receiving the captain's instructions, a few people were behind, and they were still very happy to let the other party know the power of the British Empire.
But just as they were about to shoot, they heard a thud and the world wanted to be silent. Everyone hadn't reacted to what was happening, but the sailor, who was silently raising his gun in the back, touched the snow splashing on his face with his hand. Then I saw that the person next to me fell to the ground, and it was a shot through the head.
The rest of the people didn't dare to move anymore, and they didn't just hold it when they put it down. Just when they didn't know what to do, someone finally spoke.
"I said it, don't make unfriendly moves down there, we're really going to kill."
The voices were cold, and they couldn't hear the slightest change in mood, but they all believed it. Because the other party really killed!
"That's it! We're not interested in playing tricks with you! Now call all your companions, and surrender all your weapons. If I find out that you haven't paid it, then you don't have to live, rest assured that we are only for money, and we don't want to kill people, as long as you do what I say, we will not embarrass you. But if you don't obey, we don't mind killing them. ”
"Oh! Shet! This is the threat of the red fruit! ”
"I'm going to fight you alone!"
"That's right! You are insulting to our dignity! We have the ability to go heads-up! ”
Hearing these words, Wang Kun smiled, Nima, still single-handed? Why should I crush it? Sick in the brain?
"Shut up, y'all! Remember, now you are all captives and are not qualified to challenge! That's the rule! The one who doesn't look like a prisoner, stand up and I'll shoot him! Is there anyone who doesn't want to be a captive? ”
This Nima is a bully! How can there be such a person? Is this the rule again? This is clearly bullying, right?
However, hearing Wang Kun say that as long as he was obedient, he would not kill, and the sailors on the ship hurriedly called their companions out from the bottom of the ship and handed over their weapons. Although they also came out to be sailors, they also came to take risks, but taking risks is not the same as dying their lives! These people shoot directly without reminding, and the power is still so fierce, and they don't let people live!
Then I saw that more than a hundred Britons had dropped their weapons and stood on the deck expressionlessly, probably wondering what these pirates would do with themselves! Or pray that this is a group of pirates who talk their word!
Seeing these arrogant British people drop their weapons with a sad face, Wang Kun is still quite happy in his heart, thinking about the trauma that these people will bring to China in a few decades, although Wang Kun feels that they are not entirely to blame.
However, Wang Kun still asked Cheng Luo and Xie Wu to jump over the people they had adjusted before, and then asked them to take the rope to tie these people up. Because the sailors of this era are not good birds, especially these people who come to the East may be some blind and bankrupt.
Under Wang Kun's order, several people tied up these people in a hurry. Then Wang Kun said to Zhang Lei: "Okay! These people are all tied up, just leave a few people to watch with me. You and Xie Wu take a few people down to check and see if there is anyone else, if there is someone, let the other party surrender, and if you don't obey, you will shoot and kill them directly. ”
"Okay, leave it to me!" After saying that, Zhang Lei and Xie Wu took a few people down to the cabin, and Wang Kun came to Marven's side, this cargo was tied to the side alone, so now there is no one else around him.
"Are you going to China?" Wang Kun asked again, stirring up his mouthful of Middle Eastern-flavored English.
"Yes, we are going to China, and we were going to make a trip before the Dutch navy reacted. But we didn't expect to run into you, we're terrible. Will you let us go as you say? ”
"Let you go? Says who? When did we say we would let you go? ”
"As long as we do what you said, you won't embarrass us!" As soon as he heard Wang Kun's answer, Mo Wen was anxious at the moment.
"I said that, but I didn't say I would let you go! Don't worry, although I won't let you go, I won't embarrass you either! Wang Kun broke Marven's dream right away. You also want me to let you go, where did such a good thing come from, how can it be right for you not to squeeze some of your labor.
Hearing Wang Kun's answer, Ma Wenqi's face turned green, but fortunately, listening to this person's words, his own life is still safe for the time being.
"Oh! By the way, I'm still curious about where you are going to China this time? What kind of business do you do? ”
"Of course, we are going to Guangdong this time to do the business of tea, porcelain and silk. Is there anywhere else in China where we can do business? Hearing Wang Kun's question, Marven was obviously excited, if China has other places to trade, it will definitely be an opportunity for him to make a fortune! But after thinking about his own situation, he was discouraged again, and now that he has been arrested by the North Pirates, he has no chance of anything!
Wang Kun, who heard what Marven said, still knew that the Manchu Qing Dynasty implemented a policy of closing the country to the outside world, so only the 13 Guangdong Banks were responsible for the foreign trade of the whole of China. Foreigners can only be seen in Guangdong, and their freedom is still restricted.
At this time, China was not exporting the same three things that China traded, tea, ceramics and silk. Officially, relying on the trade of these three goods, a large amount of global silver flowed into China. Therefore, there is still a lot of silver in China now. But this is concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, and ordinary Chinese people are still very poor, which is a matter of policy.
"Of course, there is no other port, I see if you have ever been to China, but listening to you say this, it seems that you still know a little about China at least."
Hearing Wang Kun say this, Marven knew that he was really blind and excited.
After a while, Zhang Lei came up with someone and said, "Big brother has searched for it below, there is no one anymore, and the goods they brought are only some table clocks and some pocket watches and the like." However, I didn't find any cash or anything like that. ”
Hearing Zhang Lei say this, Wang Kun felt strange. This is obviously not in line with the laws of trade! This gang of people desperately went to China in advance, but only brought some clocks that were not too popular with Chinese. So when they came, what did they use to buy the most profitable tea ceramics?
But before I remembered that Marven said that he was hiding from the Dutch warship, presumably they hid all the cash!
Thinking of this, Wang Kun smiled, and looked at Marven with a treacherous smile.
Marven saw Wang Kun's expression and knew that his secret had been revealed, but this was the capital of his own wealth, and he couldn't hand it over anyway!
"Nope! Don't look at me like that! I don't believe you can search for yourself! Marven felt that it was his own money, and even the queen couldn't give it to her.
"Huh! It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin! Well, since that's the case, Zhang Lei threw him into the sea! Wang Kun deliberately said loudly to Zhang Lei in English.
"Don't! Other! I say! I said I can't do it yet! Marven saw Zhang Lei walking towards him with a cold face, and he was scared at the moment. Especially when he killed someone without saying a word just now, this is simply a devil.
"The cash is in the dark compartment opposite the desk in the captain's room, and you should be able to find it yourself when you get there." Marven didn't want to end his precious and young life like this. Although money is important, life is even more important!
Just when Zhang Lei was about to go to the captain's room, Wang Kun stopped him and said, "Don't be so troublesome, you take him with you and let him take out all the things!" If he's not honest, give him some awesome looks! ”
Zhang Lei picked up Marven and walked to the captain's room, and Xie Wu hurriedly led someone to catch up. Seeing a few people busy coming and going, Cheng Luo now felt that he couldn't understand these three people anymore, and they actually could speak the language recognized by Europa.
Cheng Luo suddenly found that even with this boat, the three of them could quickly get rid of each other, and they could also speak each other's words, which was much more convenient.
But then Cheng Luo blushed in embarrassment, because he seemed to have said that he could speak the three languages of the Europas, but he didn't understand a word just now.
Wang Kun doesn't care much about these, foreign languages can be trained as special translators in the future, anyway, the labor cost in this era is still very low!
It didn't take long for Zhang Lei to pull Marven again and come out of it. I saw Zhang Lei's anger on his face, and Marven looked like a dead mother, and he was like a ball of thanks.
Wang Kun asked curiously, "What's wrong?" Wasn't it still very amiable when you first went down? How did it get like this? ”
"It's also the cunning of this foreign devil, who actually hid his money in a few places, and was almost fooled by him. If I hadn't asked more questions at the end, I might not have found out! Ask him yourself! Zhang Lei was very angry, he was almost deceived, if he was really blinded, he would definitely laugh to death when the eldest brother found out.
Wang Kun looked at Marven with a curious expression, and he could also see that this guy was not as honest as he seemed to be, this was a cunning guy.
"Devil! He's a devil! If you abuse a sincere believer of our Lord, you will be punished! ”
Seeing Marven's angry and remorseful expression, Wang Kun turned around and asked curiously, "What did you do to him down there?" How did he have a chrysanthemum explosion on his face! ”
"I'll go!" Zhang Lei almost didn't want to give out a mouthful of blood, Nima, when is this still in the mood to joke!
Of course, Wang Kun was in the mood to joke, because his subordinates had already taken out all the cash inside. Wang Kun had already seen that the silver coins were beckoning to him, of course he had to relax.
This is the first time Wang Kun has seen it on the spot, so many precious metals are piled together, although I believe that I will see more in the future, but it is still difficult to suppress the excitement in my heart now.
When Wang Kun was excited, Xie Wu had already counted the silver coins, Xie Wu stood up and reported to Wang Kun: "The count has been completed, there are a total of nine thousand six hundred and fifty silver coins, one hundred and three gold coins, that's all." ”
Hearing that there are so many Wang Kun is still very excited, or robbing the money quickly! I haven't done anything yet, and I already have more than 10,000 taels of income!
So what are you doing at sea?
So he tied the sailboat to the stern of the ship with a rope and dragged it to Sarawak!
