Sun Youlao was standing with a group of people in the outer corridor on the second floor of the Yingguili Merchant Hall on Beishanwei Island, looking at the four Yingguili armed merchant ships that were docking one after another, but unlike the expectant eyes of the rest of the people, his expression was cold. biquge.info Yes, that's right, Sun Youlao has objections to Zheng Kezang's attempt to use black slaves as a backup force.

"I heard that these black slaves have big shoulders and round waists, and each of them is eight feet tall." A voice sounded suddenly, Sun Youlao swept away with the afterglow of his eyes, and it turned out to be the second housekeeper of the Shunchang Bo Mansion who was pointing fingers. "One meal can eat two people, and when you are full, you can do the work of three people"

"Ladies and gentlemen, the goods ordered by His Highness on behalf of you have been disembarked," the voice of Stevenson, the owner of the Merchant Pavilion, interrupted someone's interest, speaking of which, he had been approached by Zheng Kezhang several times for this business, and at this moment he just wanted to finish the matter as much as possible. "Do you want to pick up the goods now?"

“315、316、317、318514、515、5161322、1323、1324”

When they arrived at the docks, they saw the black slaves strung together like walking corpses driven off the deck by British sailors with leather whips in their hands. Several family members of the Bofu were chattering, but a scene that was even more memorable for them appeared, one of the black slaves who was on the lower deck suddenly had a weak leg and his whole body withered.

"Dead? Dizzy? The third steward of Zhao Anbo cried out in some astonishment, but the staggering procession did not stop, and dragged the man step by step down the deck, while the sailors on the shore immediately untied the ropes around the necks of the slaves, and dragged the unconscious or dead from the ranks to the berth, without looking, and threw them into the sea with four hands. Yes! The three stewards of Zhao Anbo exclaimed again. Hongyi is really ruthless! ”

"Your Excellency misunderstood." The clerk of the Yingguili Merchant House on the side explained in a strange Hokkien dialect. "This is to prevent the corpses from spreading the plague." As he spoke, the Englishman with the sheepskin wig shrugged. "Only fire and salt can cut off the path of the plague, and the sailors are also for the safety of the survivors."

"What plague or what is spreading, the servant does not ask." Sun Youlao's gaze was retracted from the side of the Hongyi ship, and he spoke coldly at the clerk who had become accustomed to the slave trade. "But the amount you promised must not be reduced, otherwise, the servant will not be able to account to the prison state."

"Your Excellency, General, rest assured." The clerk gestured slightly to the bookbook in his hand. "The list of goods provided by the captains shows that at the time of the disembarkation of Maurice [the island of Madagascar, the largest Dutch slave trading post in East Africa at the time], four ships carried a total of 2,700 black slaves, of whom more than 400 died during the voyage, and the remainder should have more than 2,200, which is more than 10 per cent of your receivables."

When Sun Youlao heard this, he immediately asked: "Listen to what you mean, does this clan want to pay for this extra black slave?" ”

The clerk laughed dryly, of course, it was best to be able to pay, but he didn't want to offend this high-ranking officer who was said to represent the crown prince of Dongning, so he could only use his words tactfully: "Your Excellency General, after all, such a long transportation route, and the wind and waves along the way, if it weren't for money, why would the ship take such a risk." ”

"This servant can't be managed," Sun Youlao said in a rogue voice. "In this way, the servant only needs to order the quantity, and if there is more, you can let them transport it back." The clerk's face was as ugly as if he had swallowed stool. "Or you can ask them to find some other buyers, such as Beihe, Cochin, Ryukyu, Siam, or Japan."

"No, no," the clerk of the merchant hall shook his head again and again, black slaves are not popular in East Asian countries with infinite manpower, and it is absolutely not in the interests of British merchant ship owners to transport these useless black slaves back to feed them and occupy valuable space on the return voyage. "Your Excellency, for the sake of friendship between the two sides, I am in charge, and I can give this batch of extra black slaves to you free of charge."

"It's for the best." Sun Youlao finally squeezed out a smile from his stiff face, but before this smile could dissipate, he said to several Bofu family members. "What are you waiting for, a hundred people in one house, hurry up and pick it!" Several members of the Bofu family looked at him with different expressions, and Sun Youlao seemed to realize that he had said something wrong. "Wrong, wrong, the prison country said 100 people last year, but this year's New Year's Festival promised to give 100 more people, 200 people in one government, if each government does not choose, the servants will take the lead"

Zheng Kezhang sent away a few scouts who were summoned by him to talk, and then motioned for Sun Youlao to sit down and reply: "The black slave has been brought back?" ”

"Take it back, it's just that people have been tortured." Sun Youlao guarded the courtier's way and bowed down to report. "People from several uncles are shouting, saying that the prison country has made them suffer."

"What's the loss, are you reluctant to give people even a few mouthfuls of food?" Zheng Kezhang may give Zheng Cong and Zheng Ming a little face to his uncles, but he doesn't have a good face for these evil slaves who only know how to bark and flatter in front of their masters. "The ancients said that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and the more you get mixed up, the more you go back." After saying a few words, Zheng Kezhang was reluctant to continue the topic. "By the way, how much did you get back this time?"

"The Anguili people brought in two thousand two hundred and thirty-seven black slaves, and the remaining eight hundred and thirty-seven were brought back to the boy boy camp except for the one thousand four hundred and four hundred who had been picked up by the provinces."

"Eight hundred and thirty-seven, didn't the English people overcharge?" Zheng Kezhang got positive news. "This is enough to save four thousand taels of silver for this domain, well done! Let's change your clothes in a few days. Sun Youlao was in ecstasy, Zheng Kezhang clearly implied that his official could move, but he was about to thank him, but Zheng Kezhang waved his hand. Master Sun has been in the boy camp for four years, and he has worked hard and hard, and Yu Du looked at it in his eyes, and it was too late for this promotion. ”

Zheng Kezang didn't say this, but as soon as he said it, Sun Youlao immediately turned over and knelt on one leg and fell to the ground, and respectfully gave Zheng Kezhang a military salute: "Where did the prison say, the so-called thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and the grandson treats his subordinates well, and the ministers are extremely frightened, and he is willing to make his heart and brain go to the forefront of His Highness." ”

Zheng Kezhang watched Sun Youlao's performance quietly, and nodded slowly: "Let's get up and speak first." ”

Sun Youlao got up, Zheng Kezhang also stood up from the chair, copied it with both hands behind his back, and slowly stomped in front of Sun Youlao: "Since Qing has such intentions, Yu will give Qing a chance." ”

Before Sun Youlao understood what opportunity Zheng Kezhang was talking about, he listened to Zheng Kezang continue: "I will hand over the position of chief teacher of the boy boy camp and transfer to the position of the guard of the boy boy camp. ”

Sign? At present, Zheng Jun does not have a first-level system, but Sun Youlao understands that this must be Zheng Kezang's ingenuity.

"One standard governs three battalions and one team, and the battalion is subject to the establishment of the Boy Scouts, of which three battalions are war battalions and one team is baggage." Zheng Kezhang explained. "One member of the standard leader is awarded the command of the four products, and another member of the supervision camp and Sima are set up, and the supervisor is awarded the six-product judge, and Sima is given the suppression of the six-product office, but Lord Sun is now the fourth grade, and the promotion is from the third grade, and he has been wronged by the position of the fourth grade from the third grade."

"Your Majesty is not aggrieved." Sun Youlao immediately stated that in his opinion, in addition to the fact that this guard standard is composed of black slaves as the main force, which makes him a little unhappy, the position of the standard leader and the official position of Congsanpin are enough to show the weight of him in Zheng Kezang's heart at the moment.

"It's good not to be wronged." Zheng Kezhang nodded with satisfaction. "The battalion officer and deputy battalion officer are selected by you, Sima and the team leader below will use the boy scouts of the A-shaped battalion, as for the supervising camp, Yu is going to carry Yu Ping up, and his absence, you will arrange for another person to go over." Sun Youlao listened quietly, he knew that this was Zheng Kezang's relationship in balancing all aspects, so he didn't dare to interject. "As for the name of the guard standard, the black slave was called Kunlun slave in the Tang and Song dynasties, and it was named Kunlun standard."

After Zheng Kezhang gave the name to the guard, Sun Youlao asked, "Shisun, is the Kunlun standard going to be incorporated into the fire team?" ”

"No," Zheng Kezhang shook his head. "Not only don't put in firearms and artillery, but don't even match bows and arrows," so Kunlun Biao became a pure meat shield army. "This year, the A-shaped battalion has been expanded to six teams and one squad, so that the swords, shields, firearms, artillery, and baggage teams are all ready, and there are two pikes, and the cavalry sentry squad has also tried to be formed." Zheng Kezang's words seemed to be in the opposite direction, which made Sun Youlao suddenly suddenly, and as he expected, Zheng Kezhang continued. "As for the future war, Yu will arrange for the boy camp to go out together."

"Prison country, let's not talk about whether the black slaves can train a strong army," understanding Zheng Kezang's intentions, Sun Youlao said his worries. "The so-called non-our race will have different hearts, if there is a change in these black slaves"

"Has there been a change? What are you waiting for? "Zheng Kezhang rebelled against Sun Youlao's army." The black slave visitor from a foreign land was originally tortured, and his heart must be panicked, and he waited for it to be sincere, and this person's heart could not be recovered? Sun Youlao was stunned for a moment, and then heard Zheng Kezhang suddenly sigh. Dongning is cramped and has few people, how much manpower can be driven? The use of black slaves as soldiers is really a last resort! Master Sun must remember that he must take care of them for Yu. ”

"The painstaking ministers of the grandson understood." Sun Youlao naturally understood the truth that when there are more soldiers, there are fewer people who farm the land, so he immediately understood Zheng Kezang's intentions, but understanding is understanding, but it does not mean that he necessarily approves of Zheng Kezang's methods. "But if you blindly manipulate the slave soldiers, I'm afraid that you will be too upside down in the future!"

"Tai'a upside down?" Zheng Kezhang chuckled. "I thought about it, hundreds of people want to be anti-guest-oriented, how can it be so easy, as for the future? Yu is also measured, and he will not give people a handle."
