Soon the Portuguese captain was brought in.

After entering, he first bowed to Lu Yan, and then said, "Dear Mr. Pirate, you are strong enough to shock the whole of Europe, and your kindness is enough to light up the entire Atlantic. Paul, the great Captain of the Franc Machine, would like to extend his heartfelt greetings to you. ”

This time, the Portuguese captain didn't lie, with Lu Yan's strength, even if he put it in Europe, he was the real king of pirates, not to mention that no pirate fleet could compete with Lu Yan, even some small countries did not have such powerful warships.

Of course, the British fleet was an exception, as they also played the role of pirates.

Lu Yan glanced at the Portuguese captain lightly, can't he see that this pirate is still quite good at talking?

"Captain Paul, are you, a maritime merchant from Portugal?"

Lu Yan said.

"That's right, dear Mr. Pirate."

Paul said with a grin.

"My name is Lu Yan and I'm from Dayuanwan, Taiwan. I want to be able to trade with you Francs. ”

Lu Yan said.

"That's wonderful news."

Paul's eyes rolled as he felt his life was safe.

"I need some fine iron, tin, lead, gunpowder, arrows, saltpeter, brimstone, and so on."

Lu Yan said.

Paul's mind was racing, it seemed that the pirates had some problems with weapons and ammunition, otherwise they would not have needed these things so urgently.

"We have all kinds of items there, such as silk, tea, porcelain, cane sugar, Nanyang spices, ivory, Japanese knives and Japanese lacquerware, and if you don't like it, I will pay the bill in silver."

These pirates had a wide range of cargo, Paul thought to himself.

"Of course, if I hadn't noticed your merchant ships coming to trade, I would have personally led a fleet to visit you."

Lu Yan's tone suddenly changed, and then he said coldly.

"You...... Are you going to war with us? ”

Paul was taken aback, and then quickly said.

"Of course, if anyone dares to ignore my friendship, I will definitely let you know the fate of offending me Lu Yan."

Lu Yan said with a sneer.

"You're buying and selling!"

Paul couldn't help but retort loudly.

"So what? I give you two choices, war or trade. ”

Lu Yan said coldly.

Paul really didn't expect that they Portuguese would one day be forced to trade with cannons, and by a group of pirates.

"If I do not find a ship laden with gunpowder, fine iron, saltpeter and sulphur reaching Dayuan Bay within four months, I will personally lead my mighty fleet to visit Macao."

Lu Yan said.

Lü Yan also had the confidence to say this, and it would not be long before the British and the Dutch formed a coalition that surpassed the Portuguese to attack Macao.

The Portuguese in Macau held off their attack, but they must have felt the need for a strong ally.

When they found out that Lu Yan was a powerful pirate, they would definitely try to win him over against the Dutch and the British, which was called a combination of two benefits.

"Of course, in return, I will attack every Dutch merchant ship that passes through the Taiwan Strait. and detained their ships and personnel to ensure that they could not go to the Wa kingdom to trade. ”

Lu Yan said.

Lu Yan believes that doing things should be done with carrots in one hand and sticks in the other, simple coercion is not of much use, and it has to be lured.

Of course, in fact he had been attacking Dutch merchant ships everywhere.

Hearing this, Paul's eyes lit up, and this was definitely good news.

The Dutch are competing with the Portuguese all over the world, and the Dutch have just kicked them out of Malacca, which the Portuguese have always hated.

"I guess there's no problem with that."

Paul said.

"Where are you going to trade this time?"

Lu Yan asked again.

"Wa Guo."

Paul said without thinking, but soon he realized that it was not good, and things turned out just as he had expected.

"Well, you leave all your goods behind. After bringing this news to the Portuguese in Macau, I will come to Dayuan Bay with some of the supplies I need, and I will return your goods to you at that time. ”

Hearing this, Paul gritted his teeth with hatred.

What a bunch of goddamn pirates!

"I protest, dear Mr. Pirate, you are shamelessly robbing."

Paul exclaimed.

"Haha! Isn't it a pirate's job to rob? ”

Lu Yan laughed loudly.

Listening to Lu Yan's words, Paul couldn't help but be speechless.

Lu Yan is right, pirates originally make a living from robbery! To accuse pirates of not being to rob is to say something really stupid.

Lu Yan ignored Paul's protest and directly sent someone to send Paul off the ship.

Then his order was reached to the soldiers on the dock, but those soldiers did not know whether it was intentional or not.

In addition to unloading all of Paul's cargo, he also unloaded all of his artillery.

Angry, Paul kept protesting, but no one paid attention to it, and Paul had no choice but to return to Macau with an empty boat.

*****

Hong Jiyuan looked at Lu Yan's confession document in his hand with a shocked expression.

That's right, this is indeed the Great Seal of the Ministry of War.

It's just, it's just that he is a dignified guard, how can he gather at sea because of unpaid wages?

This is not scientific!

Doesn't he know how difficult it is for ordinary people to mix up a garrison?

You must know that he has worked hard for so many years, plus he kept stuffing silver into his boss to get a general position, speaking of which, he is not as big as Lu Yan's official position.

Why doesn't he know how to cherish his position at all?

Hong Jiyuan fell into confusion for a while.

"My lord, what should we do? Whether to agree to their conditions or not. ”

The soldier said with some fear.

Hong Jiyuan didn't answer immediately, after all, the stakes were high.

He thought it would be better to go back and think about it.

Just looking at those energetic soldiers, Hong Jiyuan couldn't help but feel fear.

Anyone who knows something about the situation in the south will know what the army in the south is really like.

It's already rotten!

Since the pacification of the Japanese invaders, although there have been occasional small groups of pirate invasions, the south has been peaceful for a long time.

It is precisely because of this that those Shangguan Ke withheld food and salary even more fiercely.

Speaking of which, the combat effectiveness of some officers and men may not even be as good as that of Xiangma and smugglers.

Now they are encountering the elite of the Liaodong border army, can they not be afraid?

Hong Jiyuan felt that his legs had begun to tremble, what the hell was going on.

How did the elite of Liaodong run to Fujian to be pirates.

At this time, a large number of soldiers wearing mandarin duck jackets began to line up on the dock.

In addition to this, some cavalry began to disembark from the horse boats.

Seeing this, Hong Jiyuan almost scolded.

As for it?

Can we deal with our 200-odd sailors and send cavalry?

The cavalry checked the condition of their horses, and then mounted their horses and began to patrol Penghu.

This made Hong Jiyuan and the others panic, and then hurriedly retreated to the military fort.

They watched those cavalry gallop on Penghu Island but there was nothing they could do, and looking at the horsemanship, the cavalry skills were more elite than the personal soldiers of Zhang Jiace, the deputy chief soldier of the Central Left Institute.

However, Lü Yan did not attack, he first unloaded some guns from the warship, and then prepared to use these guns to attack the military fort.

And it takes a lot of time to unload the artillery!

He first ordered some soldiers and cavalry to surround the Ming army's military fort, but did not order them to attack for the time being.

After he went ashore, accompanied by cavalry, he inspected Penghu Island, which had a small town called Magong Town in addition to the fishing village.

When hundreds of iron horsemen entered Magong Town with the sound of rumbling hooves, almost all the inhabitants of the town were terrified.

They closed their windows and locked their doors and windows to prevent the thieves from breaking into their homes.

And some of the faithful women even had scissors ready, and if the thieves dared to insult them, they would die with them.

Looking at the empty Magong Town, Lu Yan couldn't help but touch his nose.

It seems that his reputation has not spread, and it seems that he has to publicize his reputation for robbing the rich and helping the poor today.

It didn't take long for some soldiers wearing mandarin duck jackets to pull some carts into Magong Town.

These carts were loaded with all sorts of goods, of course, taken from the ships of the maritime merchants on the docks.

The townspeople were also a little confused when they saw through the crack in the door, didn't they say they were pirates?

How does it look like an official army?

Soon a soldier picked up the gong and struck it vigorously, and the loud sound of the gong attracted the attention of almost all the inhabitants of the town.

Then a few soldiers with good voices shouted loudly along the street: "Don't be afraid, our family was originally a garrison in Liaodong, recovered Zhenjiang Fort, fought the two princes of the slave chieftain, Huang Taiji and Amin, and captured the prince of the slave chieftain alive. It was only because the court owed wages that he was not allowed to go to the sea as a thief. ”

Hearing this, those people suddenly realized, but they didn't expect it to be the elite of Liaodong.

And it sounds like he has made a lot of achievements.

It's just that these can't be fake, they always feel that these people are boasting.

"Please rest assured, my family has always taken it as their duty to rob the rich and help the poor, and will never touch the poor. In order to promote the reputation of my family, every family can now come and receive two catties of cane sugar, two catties of pepper, two catties of cloves, and two pieces of porcelain. First come, first served, and when you are done, there will be no more. ”

Hearing this, the townspeople were completely shocked.

I didn't expect these pirates to be a group of pirates who robbed the rich and helped the poor, which is really new.

There was a lot of talk in the house, but out of a cautious nature, no one planned to open the door to pick up the items.

Seeing this, Lu Yan couldn't help frowning, how could these residents be like this, they didn't even want anything for nothing, he thought about it and said a few words to the soldiers.

Hearing this, the soldier quickly shouted at the top of his voice, "The first one will receive another hundred taels of silver." ”

Hearing this, the residents were even more sensational.

That's a hundred taels of silver!

I don't know how many people have never seen such a large sum of silver since they were children and died, and many people have moved their minds for a while.

"Daddy, don't go, they're lying to us, this kind of good thing in the world."

In a very dilapidated house, a skinny woman desperately pulled the man who held his house.

"You let me go, as long as you can give me a hundred taels of silver, even if you give them this life, Lao Tzu has long had enough of this kind of life."

A yellow tooth said as she struggled to break free from the woman.

A little girl with a sheep's horn pierced on the side was crying, and she didn't understand why her parents were arguing so violently.

After all, the woman was not as strong as the yellow panya, but the yellow panya still broke free from her, and then opened the courtyard door and rushed out.

"Daddy, come back soon."

The woman lay on the ground in the doorway and shouted hoarsely.

But Huang Banya rushed towards the soldiers without looking back.

"I'll get my stuff."

Huang Banya came to the soldiers who handed out the things, and said with some trepidation.

"Take it."

Someone had already prepared a hundred taels of silver, two catties of cane sugar, two catties of pepper, two catties of cloves, and two pieces of porcelain and handed them to him.

Huang Panya held a hundred taels of silver tightly, as if he were holding his life.

Then holding the supplies that had already been packed, he rushed towards his house like a wind.

The thin woman who was shouting hoarsely saw this, and her shouting also stopped abruptly.

They actually gave her family a hundred taels of silver?

Huang Banya dragged his lady back to the house, and then proudly handed over a hundred taels of silver to his lady.

"Take it."

When do men feel most manly?

It's probably when you send money to your wife, like throwing her a stack of banknotes casually, and then saying, "Take it, this is 100,000 yuan, spend it casually, and then ask me for it when it's done." ”

This Huang Banya is probably this mentality, since he got married, none of the neighbors in the neighborhood said that he was unproductive.

And his lady has never had a good life, not to mention a hundred taels of silver, not even five taels of silver, today Huang Banya completely felt that he was raising his eyebrows.

Looking at the hundred taels of silver in his hand, the thin woman took it tremblingly.

She weighed the heavy amount of silver, then took a gentle bite.

Silver, indeed!

She trembled, and then cried as she clung to the silver.

Growing up, she had never seen so much silver, and it was her own silver.

Seeing his wife and children crying together, Huang Banya couldn't help but shake his head.

He took out the cane sugar and stuffed it into his daughter's mouth.

"Come on, eat."

After eating the sweet sucrose, the little girl soon stopped crying, and then laughed with tears on her face, and Huang Banya couldn't help laughing.

Jia Xu shook the folding fan lightly and said: "In ancient times, there were thousands of gold to buy bones, and now there are adults who buy Xinyi with 100 silver, and it must be a good story to circulate." ”

Hearing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but laugh.

After seeing that Huang Banya really went back with a hundred taels of silver, the people who were still hesitating just now couldn't wait to smash their faces.

Why is your guts so small?

That's a hundred taels of silver?

Even if I work all my life, I'm afraid I won't be able to save so much money.

At this moment, another soldier shouted, "Add fifty taels of silver to the second place!" ”
