Chapter 102: A Windfall
Shi Lang carnivaled in Manila for a week, and only when the force was too strong and both legs were a little weak, did he come out of the women's pile. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
On Calavit Island near Manila, Shi Lang sat on the right seat of the flagship "Sea Shark", his face was a little pale, and his eyes were swollen and asked Yan Shan: "How much is our total income this time?" ”
Yan Shan is finally old, nearly forty-five, and he also knows moderation, and after solving his physiological needs, he begins to perform the duties of the master.
"The big boss robbed 1,600 taels of gold and 14,000 taels of silver last time. But it's all already divided. The general was given four hundred and eighty taels of gold and four thousand two hundred taels of silver. The Clark galleon, the big boss said it was still useful, so it was not sold. The goods were sold to the Four Seas Merchant House at a discount, and sold for a total of 32,000 taels. The big boss got nine thousand six hundred taels. And he also received a ransom of 2,000 taels, and the big boss got 600 taels. The great rulers received a total of four hundred and eighty taels of gold and fourteen thousand four hundred taels of silver. Then the great boss spent more than 3,100 taels in Manila this week to recruit singers and go to taverns, etc., and now there are 480 taels of gold and more than 11,000 taels of silver left. ”
Hearing Yan Shan say that he was worth more than 10,000 taels, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Xu Long really didn't lie to himself, and it was really a murder and arson gold belt.
I earned more than 10,000 yuan as soon as I lay down when I went to sea, and it is not a problem to go out a few more times, and it is not a problem to go out more than 100,000 yuan a year.
It can earn more than 30,000 or 40,000 taels a year compared to catching natives.
Shi Lang raised his head and said, "Call the little ones back, and three days later, we will go to sea to continue the robbery!" ”
Yan Shan replied: "The big boss, last time he went to sea, five died and seven were disabled, and then when he came back to Manila this time, thirty or forty of them felt that the money they made was enough, and they didn't want to continue to be pirates." What about these people? ”
Shi Lang immediately scolded when he heard it: "A large group of unambitious people, if they want to leave, let them go, Lao Tzu is not rare." Now there are a large number of people who want to join Lao Tzu as pirates! Yan Shan, you go to the tavern and the port to recruit some mercenaries who know how to use water, and ask them if they are interested in joining us. ”
When Yan Shan heard this, he immediately agreed, "Yes, the big boss!" ”
When Yan Shan was just about to leave and go to recruit pirates, Shi Lang stopped him, "Yan Shan, you don't need to go to the tavern and the port. You go to the "Fuwei Dart Bureau" and ask if there are any pirates who want to be pirates, and the number of people must be controlled in this recruitment. Well, just recruit fifty! ”
Although Yan Shan didn't know why the big boss had to go to the Fuwei Dart Bureau to recruit people, he still thought that he was a person who cared about his old feelings.
After Zheng Chenggong's several beatings, Shi Lang finally lowered his arrogant head.
In order to dispel Zheng Chenggong's vigilance, and in order to enter the core of the Zheng family group in the future, Shi Lang did not dare to expand the number of people recklessly.
The news of the pirates' splurge in Manila has long been vigorously spread among the mercenaries, and countless people are vying to sign up for the Blackbeard Pirate Band.
After strictly selecting more than 50 people who knew water and were strong, the Blackbeard Pirate Regiment, which had been replenished with food, fresh water, gunpowder and shells, sailed out to sea again.
……
With the first experience, this time the Blackbeard Pirates have become patient and no longer have to be impetuous every day.
Gambling that should be gambling, drinking that should be drinking.
Everyone took turns to go up to the lookout to observe the sea, and that person could spot merchant ships and get a prize of one hundred taels.
Blackbeard's pirates harass the South Seas, and as a result, the merchant ships of the ghosts have become unlucky.
For several months, more than a dozen or twenty merchant ships were robbed.
Constantly foul merchant ships, the Blackbeard pirate ship sailed to the mouth of the Red Sea when it encountered a treasure ship of the Mughal Emperor.
The Mughal was a feudal **** dynasty established in India by Babur, a descendant of the Turkicized Mongol Timur.
At the height of the empire, it encompassed almost the entire subcontinent and Afghanistan. The Mughal superstructure was ******, while the foundation was Hinduism, and Persian was the language of the court, public affairs, diplomacy, literature, and high society.
The Mughal-ruled Indian Peninsula was a key point in the Indian Ocean's journey to the East.
Now happens to be the most prosperous and prosperous period of the Mughal Empire. It has more than 300,000 troops and 3,400 warships.
But Shi Lang didn't care, for him, except for the Huaxia merchant ships that were clearly stipulated not to be robbed, everyone could be robbed.
After a battle, at the cost of 39 casualties, the Blackbeard Pirates managed to subdue 300 Indian soldiers and capture the Mughal Emperor's treasure ship.
When Shi Lang and the others smashed open the treasure chest, their eyes widened in surprise, and they were presented with a large number of jewels and diamonds, and the whole box of gold bars was more than the robbery of ten Dutch merchant ships.
Shi Lang knew that he had come to the right place, and immediately began his crazy journey of 22,000 nautical miles.
Shi Lang robbed along the coastline of Arabia and India, becoming more and more emboldened, and even kidnapped a princely state lord to extort several large truckloads of ivory and spices.
There were a few ships that didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and they wanted to resist stubbornly, but they were sunk by Shi Lang's order, and they warned the other merchant ships well, don't resist fearlessly, otherwise they will die.
When the Blackbeard Pirates returned to Manila, they brought back 100,000 taels of gold and silver, and even the average sailor on board could get a few thousand taels of silver, not to mention other cargo.
When Shi Lang came to Manila with a large amount of treasure to exchange, he became a figure of attention overnight, and the Chinese in Manila quit their jobs and ran to the ship to ask to join the gang.
Zheng Tai was shocked when he saw those treasures, and Zheng Tai was dazzled by the boxes of gold coins and gems.
In the past two years, Zheng Tai has been the chief treasurer of the Four Seas Commercial Bank and the governor of Luzon, which is really rich.
But these treasures in front of me are several times more than my two years of hard work!
However, what makes Zheng Tai's heart ache is that these huge treasures have nothing to do with themselves.
According to the regulations, this treasure was seized independently by Shi Lang's pirate group.
Except for the pirates, the rest of the treasure, which belongs to Shi Lang.
And Shi Lang, as the leader of the pirates, immediately climbed to the top of Zheng Tai with his share of the treasure.
Zheng Tai couldn't help but have the idea of swallowing these treasures.
Fortunately, Zheng Tai knew that he was in charge of the Four Seas Commercial Bank, and he had living money every day, and sooner or later he would dare to pass Shi Lang.
I couldn't help but be greedy. (To be continued.) )
