Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Plan for the Sale of Stolen Goods
, Today's second update, the update time is relatively late. Thank you for your forgiveness! οΌ
Do you want to kill Zheng Zhibao?
Na Haonan thought about it, and finally left him behind, but he needed to be strictly guarded, maybe he would use it one day, Deng Haonan had a feeling in his heart.
After sending people to strictly clean up the battlefield and ensure that no one was left alive, Deng Haonan ordered to leave.
This place is close to the territory of the Chao Gang, and if something happens, Zheng Yiguan will definitely settle the account on the Chao Gang.
Having made up his mind, Deng Haonan ordered the fleet to take the Pacific Ocean instead and make a detour back to Xiaonanshan Naval Base.
It's getting dark, so I don't have to worry about being discovered.
Soon, each ship reported the results of the battle, and Major Lin Feng recorded them one by one, and in accordance with the regulations on rewards and punishments of the Pacific Fleet, he was rewarded for meritorious deeds. On Na Haonan's side, Quartermaster Lieutenant Qian Shun reported the statistics of the seized materials to Deng Haonan. Since Zheng Yiguan's merchant ships were all recorded in detail, Lieutenant Qian Shun only needed to roughly check the names one by one, and the results were soon available.
Zheng Yiguan shipped a lot of goods this time, and he originally had the same idea as Di Haonan, taking advantage of the fact that everyone did not notice that the Dutch fleet was leaving, and made a lot of money.
It's a pity that Zheng Yiguan nodded his back and ran into Deng Haonan who was returning home, not only lost eight large cargo ships, but also lost twenty warships, and two eighteen Zhi killed and captured his younger brother, even if he didn't move his vitality, it at least made him feel distressed for a while.
It's just that Zheng Yiguan doesn't know that his caravan has hung up now, and he is still dreaming of making tens of millions of dollars?
"Headmaster!" Lieutenant Qian Shun reported: "The student's husband took a look, Zheng Yiguan's batch of goods is very simple, but they are all high-class goods, and they are all goods that are in demand in Nanyang!" There are 10,000 horses of fine silk alone, a total of 1 ton of top-quality oolong tea, green tea, black tea, and white tea, and a total of 30 tons of other teas! There are also ordinary cloth, raw silk and Jingdezhen porcelain, etc., with a total value of about 800,000 taels of silver! β
Na Haonan nodded, at this time he was no longer interested in the huge profits of selling goods by sea. If you had changed to before, you would have been surprised when you heard that there was such a huge amount of maritime trade.
It's just that the experience of this time made him understand a truth. The maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty are the masters of the rich country! It can range from millions of pieces of furniture to tens of millions.
It's a pity that the government of the Ming Dynasty is not a bourgeois government, and it can't get the support of the merchants, otherwise it wouldn't be poor and finally die!
It's just that after robbing Zheng Yiguan's goods, how to sell the stolen goods?
Qian Shun said with some excitement: "Principal! If this batch of goods is shipped to Nanyang now, it is conservatively estimated that it will be sold for four million taels! β
After Qian Shun mentioned it, Di Haonan remembered that he had deceived Philippine Governor Fernando's ten large ships.
Eight million!
After Di Haonan heard it, he was inevitably excited in his heart.
"It's just that I promised Governor Fernando that if I ship goods to Manila, he will sell them, and even if I sell them at this price, Governor Fernando will swallow two million taels!"
Na Haonan didn't want to give him four million taels of silver for nothing, so he hesitated.
Qian Shun also knew that if he went to Manila to trade again, he would inevitably let Governor Fernando take advantage.
So he said: "The principal doesn't have to worry, then Li De is familiar with businessmen from all over the world, why don't you let him contact the big businessmen of various countries on behalf of the Pacific Company and avoid trading in Manila, we can choose Vietnam or Shaura!" β
Yes!
Isn't it okay to change places to trade?
Di Haonan nodded very happily and said, "Okay!" Just do as you say! β
So, Deng Haonan made up his mind, and he was very happy in his heart, thinking that being a pirate is still a very lucrative profession!
β»
After an overnight voyage, Deng Haonan's fleet escorted the caravan's twenty-six sea-going ships around Dongfan Island and arrived at Ryukyu Minami Island at noon the next day.
The huge fleet provoked some Ryukyu residents who were fishing near Shannan Island to stop and watch, and when they saw clearly that it was a Western warship, they immediately ran back home in a panic, closed the door tightly, and were too frightened to come out.
The dock at the Xiaonanshan Naval Base has been expanded, but unfortunately it still can't accommodate so many ships.
The main reason is that in the three months after Di Haonan left, the Xiaonanshan Naval Base Arsenal continued to use artillery to trade warships with the Chao Gang, so that by the time Deng Haonan returned, there were already 20 thousand ships and 30 400 ships in the port, although they were tonnage, they took up space.
So Deng Haonan ordered 26 sea-going ships to enter the harbor first, and then ordered the three detachments of the Pacific Fleet to take turns to patrol nearby, so that it would be okay.
"It seems that we have to find a bigger nest!"
Na Haonan thought in his heart that at this time, the number of his warships was less than a fraction of that of Zheng Yiguan, at most it was the scale of Penghu Li Zhiqi, so if he wanted to develop into the scale of Zheng Yiguan and Yang Tiansheng, he had to go a long way! However, when it comes to combat effectiveness, although Deng Haonan does not dare to defeat them, it is no longer a dough that they can knead as much as they want!
If Deng Haonan's Pacific Fleet completely understands the use and tactics of Western warships, at that time, no one will dare to provoke Di Haonan when he walks sideways!
In the blink of an eye, the Black Pearl had stopped at the docks.
At this time, the gongs and drums on the shore were already noisy, and firecrackers were ringing in unison, warmly celebrating Deng Haonan's triumphant return.
Looking at the crowd waiting for him on the dock on the shore, Huang Zupei and Sigou were at the front, and then there were a group of martial arts officers and students who stayed at the base, and there were only soldiers with guns around them.
The figure that Haonan wanted to see the most did not appear!
The boat ladder was lowered, Deng Haonan and others walked down, Huang Zupei and Sigou hurriedly came up to greet each other, and after a salute, they had a lot to say.
The base has been built, and it has changed a lot from when it left.
Listening to Huang Zupei's narration, because the production of the arsenal was smooth, Huang Zupei strengthened the defense force of the base, focusing on increasing the north and south forts, so that the east, west, north and south and the top of the mountain formed an all-round defense system.
With the expansion of recruitment, Xiaonanshan was no longer able to accommodate new recruits, so on the opposite Shannan Island, a military camp and a school field were opened.
Shannan Island Shangqi saw that Xiaonanshan had become a powerful fortress, so he was naturally not very willing, and saw that Huang Zupei had built a military camp on his Shannan Island, and there were a large number of factories such as steel mills, garment factories and military factories planned by Deng Haonan, and the most terrible thing was that there were more and more Han people, and tens of thousands of Han people lived in Shannan Island, and the local Ryukyuan people were no more than a thousand people, so they raised strong objections and asked Huang Zupei to stop immigrating.
Huang Zupei was easy to discuss at first, but Shang Qi disagreed, so Huang Zupei had no choice but to be tough, hundreds of soldiers with guns broke into Shang Qi's home, and Shang Qi acquiesced.
Hearing this, Deng Haonan nodded and said, "Will Shang Qi report the matter here to the King of the Ryukyus?" β
"He doesn't dare!" Huang Zupei said with great certainty: "His family is here, if he provokes us, he won't be able to eat and walk around!" Besides, the king of the Ryukyus is just a greedy and lustful man, as long as we allow him benefits, nothing will happen! β
Sigou said on the side: "With our current strength, it is okay to occupy the Ryukyus and Fuhao Nange to be the king of the Ryukyus, what are you afraid of them doing?" β
Na Haonan sighed in his heart, he is really a good brother and has momentum, so that he can follow himself!
"Our nest is a little small right now!" Di Haonan said worriedly: "There are often typhoons here, if the fleet doesn't have a larger haven, it's not worth the loss!" β
Huang Zupei nodded and said, "What are the commander's plans?" β
Hearing Huang Zupei's sudden change of title, Na Haonan hurriedly said: "Brother Huang still calls me Haonan!" The commander looks a little raw! β
Huang Zupei shook his head and said, "Don't call me Brother Huang anymore!" It's not a matter of whether you have a part or not, it's a matter of rules! You call me big brother, and people think I'm the boss? I'm your subordinate now, you can just call me Zu Pei! β
Sigou suddenly said, "Then shouldn't I have to change my name?" β
"Naturally!" Huang Zupei said resolutely: "There are no rules, there is no circle!" β
Deng Haonan saw that Huang Zupei insisted on this, so he nodded and said, "Okay then!" Just Brother Huang
One of the meaning of that Zupei! β
Then Na Haonan said: "My idea is to either capture Ryukyu or capture the Dongfan Island in Taiwan!" β
Huang Zupei said: "The king of the Ryukyus has only 6,000 soldiers, lacks sophisticated equipment, and has insufficient training, so to command the current Pacific Fleet and marines, it is enough to capture the entire Ryukyus!" It's just that, in this way, the commander will have to face the uneasiness from the Wei Kingdom, Korea and the Ming Dynasty, which will do more harm than good to the commander! β
Na Haonan nodded, and asked again: "What about Dongfan?" β
Huang Zupei said: "Dongfang Island has a vast area, but it is a pity that it lacks population! If it is a foundation. It is necessary to move people from the interior of the Ming Dynasty to reclaim! Besides, at this time, there are Spaniards in the north and Dutch in the south, and there is also a Zheng Yiguan in the middle, so it is not easy to gain a foothold there! β
Na Haonan frowned and said, "Not in either place?" β
Huang Zupei said with a smile: "It's not good to get it in front of you!" However, the commander does not yet have the ambition and strength to dominate the world, so there is no need to occupy the whole island of Ryukyu and Dongfan, but only needs to continue to build bases on Ryukyu and Dongfan Island to meet the immediate needs! At the same time, you can also build a fortress castle first, as Spain and the Netherlands did, and then slowly build it! β
O master!
Deng Haonan secretly praised in his heart that he really didn't have the capital to dominate the world at the moment, and there was no need to occupy the entire Ryukyu and Dongfan Island! As Huang Zupei said, you can't eat a big fat man in one bite, you have to take your time and figure it out slowly!
Just like wearing shoes, it's uncomfortable to be big or small. Only the shoes that best suit your feet!
Build a fortress like the Dutch?
Well! That's a very good idea!
Deng Haonan knew how the Dutch finally drove the Spaniards and Zheng Yiguan out of Dongfan Island, which was nothing more than building fortresses first, and then colonizing Taiwan step by step.
Deng Haonan then said: "What Zu Pei said is extremely true! At present, on Dongfan Island, the Dutch, the Spaniards and Zheng Yiguan are the three-legged trend, if we want to intervene, we need to use a horizontal and vertical strategy! β
Lin Fengxi said: "The principal is wise! At the moment, we can unite with the Spaniards to defeat the Dutch first, and then encourage Yan Siqi to turn against Zheng Yiguan. In this way, our division is famous, and we will first take out Zheng Yiguan's Beigang and drive Zheng Yiguan back to Xinguo! β
Deng Haonan nodded and said, "We know the strength of the Spaniards, and we will deal with them in the end!" β
Huang Zupei said secretly: This Deng Haonan is really not a thing in the pool, he can bend and stretch, and he is wise, and he will achieve great things in the future! It seems that I made the right choice!
He immediately smiled and said: "The commander thinks that Xiaonanshan Port is not enough to dock a fleet at the moment, so he can go to the King of the Ryukyus to buy a piece of land!" Ryukyu is an island, and there are many ports, and it only takes 100,000 taels of silver, which is enough to make things happen! β
Na Haonan nodded, thinking in his heart where the Ryukyu Islands were most suitable for his own troops.
Naha is naturally the most ideal place, but it is the capital of the Ryukyu king, so it is naturally not good under people's noses!
Then in Deng Haonan's mind, the most famous one left in later generations was the Baitan Naval Base.
However, the Baitan Naval Base can naturally be stationed in a large fleet, and it can also garrison troops, but it is too far away from the Xiaonanshan Naval Base in front of him... οΌγ οΌβ¦ The body clam of the fishing book is not concave!
Huang Zupei is right, there is no need to eat a fat man in one bite, so there is no need for a base as big as Baitan at the moment.
The Shannan Island in front of him, in Di Haonan's impression, is the Miyako Island of later generations, and the Miyako Waterway is an important passage into the Pacific Ocean, but there is no trade in the Pacific Ocean in front of the Ming Dynasty, so it is relatively desolate, and even the Dutch are not in the mood to occupy it.
It's just that on the other side of the Miyako waterway, there are Ishiheng Island and Iriomote Island, so why are there no marks on the chart?
Na Haonan then asked: "There should be two islands about the same size as here in the southeast of Shannan Island, why haven't they been marked on the chart?" "And the islands? Still two?
Huang Zupei and Sigou were stunned for a moment, they had been here for a long time, but they had never heard of two islands in the southeast, only that the southwest was Dongfanwu.
"I'm sure!" Deng Haonan nodded very affirmatively.
Huang Zupei said: "If you go southeast, you will be the boundless Pacific Ocean!" Maybe there really are islands that haven't been discovered yet? Why don't we go and see tomorrow."
Na Haonan nodded, thinking in his heart: Maybe the times are too long! Until the twenty-first century, there were still small islands that were discovered one after another, so it is not surprising that in the current age of sailing, there are too many unknown islands without advanced instruments.
Thinking of this, Deng Haonan smiled helplessly in his heart.
Next, the topic was put on the issue of sales channels for goods. Deng Haonan ordered someone to invite Zhao Chenggong to come, and then let Huang Zupei stay, and Lin Feng and Sigou went out to take care of the arrangement of the fleet personnel.
Zhao Chenggong traveled all the way, because he had been staying on the merchant ship and did not meet Deng Haonan, and he happened to come to say hello to Di Haonan at this time, congratulating him on doing a lot of business and making a windfall.
Then, Deng Haonan introduced Huang Zupei and Zhao Chenggong to each other, and then the three began to discuss the sale of goods.
Obviously, on this issue, Zhao Chenggong is the most vocal, because he brought ten ships of goods, if there is no sales channel, how dare he do this?
Zhao Chenggong then said: "Don't hide it from that son, my father has a lot of business friends in the mainland, and Yan Siqi's side is not to say!" β
Zhao Chenggong knew that Deng Haonan didn't want Yan Siqi to know that he had an extra Western fleet all of a sudden, and he didn't want him to know that he had shipped back so many goods, and he could get rid of his money control in the future and become a mountain of his own! Therefore, Zhao Chenggong avoided Yan Siqi's trade route.
I only heard him say: "The goods imported back from overseas by the Ming Dynasty are generally in Chaozhou Mansion, Fuzhou Mansion and Dengzhou Mansion. And these three places are controlled by the Chao Gang, the Brotherhood Alliance, and the Lu Gang respectively, so if you want to sell goods in these places, you need to say hello to the three major merchant gangs and take 30% of the profits! β
Na Haonan nodded and asked, "Your Zhao family should have other trade routes, right?" β
Zhao Chenggong nodded, and then said: "Exactly! My father knows a lot of businessmen in Nanzhili, so our goods can go to the Yangtze River and be distributed in Nanjing! β
Huang Zupei asked, "How much cargo can they eat?" What about the price? β
Zhao Chenggong replied: "There are many wealthy merchants in Nanzhili, who control the trade between the inland and the canal, and they all have an official background, so they are in competition with the three major merchant gangs!" They can eat no matter how much cargo there is! β
Na Haonan was puzzled: "Since they control the inland and canal trade, it is equivalent to cutting off the trade channels of the maritime merchants, so why don't they use the government to suppress the three major merchant gangs and make profits alone?" β
Zhao Chenggong smiled: "Deng Gongzi doesn't know anything! The two of them are naturally incompatible! It's just that one controls the inland canals, and the other controls the maritime trade, and if the mainland blockades the maritime merchants, then the maritime merchants will block the sea routes, and everyone will die and the net will be broken."
Na Haonan smiled bitterly, it turned out to be such a compromise, but he forgot that the Shang Gang was also a pirate! If you cut off mine, I will cut yours, and sure enough, there is a set!
So he said: "Since this is the case, then ask Brother Zhao to help contact the merchant!" β
"Good!"
Then, after Deng Haonan dealt with a series of affairs, he couldn't wait to go back to Nafu to see his little lady Wanshu.
β»
When I got home, it was already night.
When I saw my little lady Wanshu, I couldn't stop talking about the topic. I wanted to have some affection, but Deng Mu and mother-in-law Yang were beside them, pulling Na Haonan to speak, so that Deng Haonan had no idea where to start.
When the lamp was in hand, the two mothers let Deng Haonan go.
In Na Haonan's room, Wan Shufeng ate dinner shyly, peeking at it from time to time, and when Na Haonan noticed it, she shifted her gaze.
It was the first time she had eaten with a man, or with her fiancΓ©. Although she still hasn't had sex with him, the series of actions of the two during the day have already made her confused. Every time she thinks of the scenes that the two mothers have been talking to her ear these days, Wanshu is shy. According to Mrs. Tai's whispered instructions in her ear during the day. Tonight maybe one
Thinking about it, my neck suddenly turned pink.
The two ate silently, but they had their own thoughts.
While eating, Na Haonan couldn't stop looking at her beside her, thinking: In later life, I heard that three baby girls who were a few months old in a certain place ate some kind of milk powder, and the girls who developed to sixteen or seventeen years old in advance under the stimulation of estrogen. Could it be that what drugs did ancient women take to stimulate estrogen secretion? At this time, Wanshu has not been seen in March, and the twelve or thirteen-year-old woman is both psychological and physical. They all developed like eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls in later generations.
A dinner, the two of them actually spent a whole hour.
After the meal, the servant cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.
The twilight darkness fell, and the lanterns in the corridors and halls lit up.
If it is a later generation, Deng Haonan should be the time to go online after dinner at this time. In the era of no electricity and no Internet, in addition to going to bed early, he wants to use any night activities.
At this time, after ten days of running on the sea, Na Haonan was already a little tired.
Wanshu was very careful, and seeing Deng Haonan's expression, she knew that he needed to rest.
At that moment, he helped Deng Haonan to the side of the bed, pulled the quilt for him to lean on, and brought a basin of warm water to gently wash his feet.
Na Haonan had already adapted to enjoying this kind of treatment at this time, and if he refused, it would make Wanshu feel panicked.
Wanshu seemed to know a little about massage, which allowed Di Haonan to enjoy the ancient foot massage service, and soon fell asleep comfortably.
Before he knew it, Na Haonan was already lying on the bed. The coat was taken off, and Wanshu gently covered it with a quilt.
At this time, Xiaocui, the maid in the mother's room, came in and greeted her, and Deng Haonan waved her hand. Unexpectedly, when Xiaocui went out, she closed the door and casually took a lock.
"Mrs. Chuan's words, please let the young master and young lady spread their branches as soon as possible!"
After Xiao Cui put down this sentence, she snickered and hurriedly left, ignoring Di Haonan and Wanshu's protests.
The room was suddenly filled with ambiguous air, and Deng Haonan was lying on the bed with a wry smile on his face. Wanshu stood not far away, her forehead hanging down to her chest, her hands fiddling with the hem of her clothes, silent.
It seems that this little girl has an idea in her heart!
It's just that Deng Haonan doesn't want to destroy Lori, in the face of Wanshu, his love is better than desire.
When Na Hao thought like this, Wan Shu had already blown out the candle.
Whew, and the room went dark.
Then, there was a familiar sound of undressing, and soon, Deng Haonan felt a hot body crawl to Deng Haonan's pillow and lay down.
Soon, Wanshu's little hands began to be dishonest again.
Na Haonan smiled bitterly in her heart, and when she left Wanshu, she thought about her in her heart. When I came back, I still had to endure the torment.
β»
The next day, Deng Haonan came to Huang Zupei for a discussion and was about to explore the island.
Huang Zupei suddenly remembered something and said, "Has the commander ever thought about doing business with the imperial court?" β
Doing business with the imperial court?
That's fine, of course!
Na Haonan asked: "Zu Pei has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" β
Huang Zupei said: "Right now, the imperial court needs artillery to defend against the northern shoes and Jianzhou Jurchens, if we sell the artillery to the imperial court at a preferential price, we will have a good profit!" And if you have a relationship with the imperial court, it will be good for the commander's future development! You can't always be a pirate, can you? β
Di Haonan glanced at Huang Zupei and asked, "Zupei, do you have any ideas?" β
Huang Zupei said: "The commander of the formation of the navy will inevitably have interest disputes and conflicts with the three major merchant gangs in the future, and at this time, we will also sell artillery to the Chao Gang, which will be our potential enemies in the future!" β
Na Haonan nodded and said, "That's right!" We don't need the Tide Gang ships now, so we won't be selling high-powered artillery to them, and as for small-caliber artillery, it doesn't matter the big picture! β
Huang Zupei said again: "Don't hide it, not long ago, Mao Wenlong sent someone to contact me, hoping that I could go to Liaodong to help him!" β
Mao Wenlong?
Na Haonan was surprised in his heart! I'm afraid this Mao Wenlong is the general soldier who was cut down by Yuan Chonghuan!
asked Huang Zupei at the moment, and sure enough, it was the historical Yang Mao Wenlong.
Only then did Haonan understand that Huang Zupei and Mao Wenlong actually knew each other!
At the age of 30, Mao Wenlong went north alone, passing through Beijing to Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan, "under the curtain of Liao Shuai, awarded Haizhou officers" According to the "National Spine", Mao Wenlong's "hereditary Haizhou Guard" and his uncle's military department staff Langzhong Shen Yuanqian wrote a letter to recommend it to Wang Huazhen in the same year and awarded it to President Qian. According to the "Epitaph of Mao Zongwu", Mao Wenlong buried his father in his early years, and lived in his uncle Shen Guang among the writers.
In the second year of the Apocalypse, Mao Wenlong attacked Zhenjiang, and within a few months, he was awarded the chief military officer and opened the town of Dongjiang. The official is tired to the governor of the left capital, hangs the seal of the general of Pingliao, and adds the prince and the prince.
Mao Wenlong went to the imperial court, and said that he would march on the sea and ask for salary: "If you want to restore the fΓΉ, you must start from the arrangement of the islands." "Please pay 300,000 yuan, Dengjin will select 20,000 Liaoding, and then recruit 10,000 people who are good at firearms in Xijiang to help them and station them on various islands in order to attack from the beginning to the end. The Ministry of War also said when recovering Mao Wenlong's recital: "Wenlong's extermination of slaves is insufficient, but there is more than containment, and the imperial court loves 300,000 yuan of money and grain." β
In this way, Mao Wenlong did not have money and food, and could not recruit soldiers and purchase artillery.
Later, he remembered that his friend Huang Zupei was working in the Brotherhood Alliance, so he contacted Huang Zupei's acquaintances, and when Huang Zupei went to Shandong not long ago to recruit young soldiers, he met someone sent by Mao Wenlong by chance.
At this time, Mao Wenlong was befriending Xu Xianchun, a member of the eunuch party, in Dengzhou, hoping to get military expenses from Wei Zhongxian, the leader of the eunuch party.
Knowing that his subordinates reported that Huang Zupei was also secretly recruiting troops, he immediately became suspicious, so he met with Huang Zupei and took out Huang Zupei's words during the banquet.
Knowing that Deng Haonan had such talent and strength, Mao Wenlong immediately asked to meet with Deng Haonan to discuss cooperation. Because he spent a lot of money on the eunuchs, but he did not do practical things, but was criticized by the ministers of the DPRK and China.
Therefore, for Deng Haonan, Mao Wenlong's expectations are very high.
Huang Zupei also hoped that Deng Haonan could ask for the identity of a pirate, so he proposed that Deng Haonan cooperate with Mao Wenlong, so that he would have the opportunity to get rid of the bad reputation of pirates, and then he could have more room for development.
Thank you for the generous reward of the banknotes that flew in the wind! ,
