[Today's second update]

Deng Haonan made an appointment with Captain Hawke, and then the two left separately and went back to arrange the handover.

After greeting the Governor of Macau, Colonel Maersk Ruye, Tang Haonan and Yan Siyu returned to the hall.

After returning to the hall, Yan Siyu immediately questioned Deng Haonan, Yan Siyu was completely ignored that day, which was a big blow to her self-esteem. However, she was very happy to see that Deng Haonan finally got things done.

Seeing Yan Siyu's deflated appearance, Deng Haonan was extremely happy in his heart. However, Yan Siyu is the sister of the big boss, Deng Haonan didn't dare to offend, and immediately added fuel and vinegar to show his harvest this day.

Yan Siyu asked: "On the way here, didn't you say that you would rely on your political skills to force Colonel Maersk Ruye to sell us artillery?" Why did he end up not mentioning a word and giving him something for nothing? ”

Deng Haonan was secretly happy in his heart, knowing that Yan Siyu was annoyed that Colonel Maersk Ruye did not dump her. He smiled and said: "This Portuguese is notoriously procrastinating, and they are most taboo about others threatening them to do things!" If I talk to him in a threatening word, he will be blown away in less than a minute! Now that the whole of Portugal and their colonies have been annexed to Spain, this Colonel Maersk Ruyer actually disobeyed the rule of Spain and used the land of Macao to confront Spain, it is conceivable that he is a man who will never give in! Trying to get our artillery by threatening him will never work! ”

"Portugal annexed to Spain?" Yan Siyu was surprised and said, "I didn't expect you to know so many things?" ”

Deng Haonan smiled: "General! Drink too much and vomit! ”

Yan Siyu smiled and looked at Deng Haonan with a blank look. Colonel Maerskirouye's ignorance of her was swept away. Then he asked, "How do you know English?" ”

Deng Haonan said in his heart: Lao Tzu is one hundred and twenty unwilling to learn English, but unfortunately he can't find a job if he doesn't learn English in later generations! And the authoritative books on artillery are all in English, and you can't do it if you don't learn it!

Before he could answer, Yan Siyu suddenly said, "Presumably you learned from the ghosts and gods again?" ”

Deng Haonan nodded, this is good, you don't have to explain it yourself, it's all pushed to the ghosts and gods, and no one will question yourself. Thinking that this woman was endlessly asking questions, Deng Haonan hurriedly changed the topic and said, "The matter of the twenty red-clothed cannons has been negotiated, and Captain Hawke sold it to us at a preferential price for the sake of my face, with a unit price of three thousand taels, a total of sixty thousand taels of silver." However, in order to convince him, I agreed to help him get a boat of medium tea! It is estimated that it will cost 10,000 taels! ”

In fact, Deng Haonan earned 60,000 taels of silver. Because he knew that Yan Siqi purchased artillery at a minimum of 5,000 taels of silver each time, Deng Haonan was originally going to do this, but in order to leave a good impression on Yan Siqi, Deng Haonan lowered the price to 3,000 taels.

While speaking, Deng Haonan carefully looked at Yan Siyu's reflection. Sure enough, Yan Siyu only spent 70,000 taels of silver to get twenty red-clothed cannons when she heard about it, which was 30,000 taels less than her budget of 100,000 taels, and she immediately said happily: "Great! Haonan, you have made a great contribution this time! I believe that the eldest brother must be very happy! ”

Seeing that Yan Siyu did not doubt himself, Deng Haonan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. There were no people who knew English in the Ming Dynasty, so Deng Haonan was not worried that this transaction would be leaked to Yan Siqi. Besides, Deng Haonan did save Yan Siqi 30,000 taels of silver this time, which is worthy of him!

I only heard Yan Siyu say again: "Big brother is afraid that you will encounter difficulties, so he specially asked me to bring an extra 100,000 taels of silver tickets, but I didn't use them!" ”

In fact, 60,000 taels of silver is a drop in the bucket for Yan Siqi. The reason why the alliance is so strong is mainly to sell goods by sea, a boatload of cheap Ming silk, porcelain and tea, trafficked to Southeast Asian countries, and even India and Arabia are dozens of times more profitable, and it is difficult to think of having no money!

Deng Haonan said in his heart: Ya is really rich! The Ming court was so poor that the household department used four million taels of silver every year, and it was impossible to make ends meet. This Yan Siqi is really wealthy, and he will be 200,000 taels as soon as he makes a move. It can be seen that it is recorded in the history books that all the Ming maritime merchants are millionaires, which is really true!

If I had known, I wouldn't have saved him money! Deng Haonan regretted for a while in his heart, he is now poor and white, and he urgently needs money to cultivate power.

In the next few days, Yan Siyu handed over 60,000 taels of silver tickets to Deng Haonan, and then she sent someone to inform Yan Siqi to find a way to get a boatload of medium-sized tea to be shipped to Macao.

Deng Haonan put 60,000 taels of silver tickets into his pocket, and just waited for the tea to arrive, and everything was fine.

Captain Hawke dismantled the twenty eighteen-pounder guns from the warship and handed them over to Deng Haonan to transport away. Because there is a guarantee from the Governor of Macau, Captain Hawke is not worried that Deng Haonan is a liar.

As for the warship stranded on the reef, Deng Haonan took out 10,000 taels of silver for repairs, which really made Deng Haonan feel a lot of pain! Secretly this boat is the same as raising a car, it is easy to buy a boat and difficult to raise a boat, and it costs 10,000 taels of silver to repair a hole in the bottom of the ship, which is really a money-burning machine.

During this period, Captain Hawke took Deng Haonan to meet the three hundred sailors, and with Deng Haonan's eyes, he immediately saw that these sailors were vigorous and strong, and he was secretly happy at the moment.

The 300 crew members were originally very frustrated that they had been replaced by an Oriental as their host, but after learning that Deng Haonan spoke fluent English, their feelings changed greatly. After a few days of contact, they were pleasantly surprised to see that Deng Haonan was very talkative and easy to get along with, and offered them a salary of five taels of silver per month. And most importantly, Deng Haonan told them that Deng Haonan was a pirate and they would become pirates in the future, which made them feel extremely close to Deng Haonan.

Because they're pirates!

This ship was the same ship that these sailors used when they were pirates, and later the pirates were exterminated and they scattered all over the country. Since they were reluctant to keep their ship, when the pirate ship was auctioned off to Hawke, they pretended to be outcasts and worked for Hawke for free, so that they could stay on the ship.

Now, Deng Haonan has become their new pirate leader, which makes them feel extremely excited to return to their old business. In a few days, Deng Haonan had already fought with them and became familiar with each other.

A week later, Yan Siyu personally escorted a boatload of tea to Macao. Deng Haonan then completed the final deal with Captain Hawke.

In the evening, Captain Hawke held a farewell dinner with all the crew, as well as a handover ceremony between the old and new captains. Amid the cheers, Deng Haonan became the new leader of the three hundred British pirates.

The next day, Captain Hawke left Macao on a Portuguese merchant ship with fifty boxes of tea. Before leaving, Captain Hawke talked with Deng Haonan for a long time. Deng Haonan hoped that if Hawke came to Daming again, he would bring more warships and artillery, and Deng Haonan would buy them together. And Captain Hawke asked Deng Haonan to prepare more high-quality tea.

After sending off Captain Hawke, Deng Haonan appointed John as the captain of the ship and ordered him to lead the sailors to continue repairing the warship and keep Macao while waiting for Deng Haonan's instructions.

After arranging a qiē, Deng Haonan and Yan Siyu escorted twenty artillery pieces and set off to return to the headquarters of the alliance on Kinmen Island.
