"Lord Liu, your lord was just a deputy general of the green battalion back then, and it was the lord of the domain who promoted you to General Huaiyuan, which can be said to be a good treat, and now, the northern captives are marching into Zhejiang and Fujian, and the war has reached the most critical time, and the lord has no choice but to transfer Tingzhou troops to help, but the lord is pushing back at this time, could it be that he really has a different heart?"

In the middle of April of the thirtieth year of the Yongli Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, Geng Jingzhong was unwilling to invade eastern Zhejiang and lost the defeat and spread the word to the Quartet, mobilizing a force that could be mobilized to prepare for a desperate battle with the Qing army commanded by Prince Kang Jieshu in Zhejiang. (The text was first published in the study cabinet biquge.info) The order to transfer troops arrived in Tingzhou, and the guard general Liu Yinglin was unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty or send troops, but only wanted to defend the land and not be a soil emperor. For this reason, Geng Jingzhong's envoy was very annoyed and directly reprimanded him for his ill intentions

"My lord," Liu Yinglin's subordinate asked with a somewhat uneasy look on his face after sending off the annoyed and angry envoy of Geng Fan. "If the feudal lord is angry and sends a large number of troops to attack Tingzhou, and the remaining soldiers are overwhelmed, how should they deal with it."

"Geng Jingzhong is already too busy to take care of himself in the face of the Beiyu, and how much spare strength can he have to plot against Tingzhou." Liu Yinglin has a posture of being in his chest. "However, what you said also makes sense, even if Geng Jingzhong doesn't come, the Beiyu will come in the future, and he should indeed prepare early." Liu Yinglin raised his head and looked at the sky outside the window. "You go to Quanzhou for Yu."

"Quanzhou?" The general was shocked. "What do you mean to contact Ming Zheng? Ask them to come and help defend the Geng Domain's army? ”

"You are wrong, Yu does not want you to contact Ming Zheng but to return to the orthodoxy of the Ming Chamber." Liu Yinglin sighed. "The world is swaying, since Yu and others have changed their ways, they naturally want to hold a thick leg, Wu Sangui's Zhou army is far away in Hunan, Geng Jingzhong is not victorious, the only thing to choose is Taiwan, Zheng Jun fought Geng Fan in the north, attacked Shang Fan in the south, and leveled the Huang clan in Zhangzhou, and the soldiers were mighty, maybe they could shield the wind and rain for Yu Wait"

"Get out of the way, you drunks get out of the way for me." In the José's House tavern in Macau, drunken drunkards burned by alcohol were awakened by a commotion, and when they opened their drooping eyelids, they saw several powerful men pushing and shoving, squeezing a passage through the crowded environment.

"Who is it?" A few familiar drunkards whispered. "What are you doing here? Are you looking for someone or are you here to fight? ”

Soon their speculation was answered, and a yellow man who could not see his age stood on the stage and announced loudly: "Yu will recruit twenty sailors, regardless of race, all those who have experience in crossing the ocean, can skillfully handle all types of sails, can use the rectangular instrument or master the art of pulling stars, and can speak Chinese will be hired first." ”

The sailors of various countries who had nothing to do in the tavern and were waiting to be recruited looked at the man who spoke silently, and just as the man was about to leave in a rather bored manner, a voice rang out: "Sir, should you tell us what our salary is?" If you don't give money for nothing, I don't think you can recruit anyone. ”

A burst of laughter spread throughout the tavern, but the recruiter did not laugh: "Twenty-five riyals a year." ”

The boos became louder, and someone on the side laughed and scolded: "Stingy yellow pig, twenty-five riyals, stay in the cub yourself!" ”

The recruiter's eyes were cold, the corners of his mouth twitched, and the two big men who opened the way rushed over knowingly, picking up the drunken other party is a burst of punches and kicks, when this person and the table next to him who resisted together were thrown outside the tavern, the recruiter said to the people in the tavern who had fallen silent again:

"Twenty-five riyals is not for you to venture across the ocean, but to ask you to become instructors and train a group of teenagers who like to sail, so the price is not low, of course, if anyone has the special skills just mentioned, the salary is not impossible to negotiate."

Looking at the still silent crowd, the recruiter spat at the floor of the tavern, as if cursing softly, and was about to get up and leave, when a figure in the corner stood up unsteadily, staggered to the recruiter, and said in a very nasal Dutch:

"Since you're in charge of training sailors, don't you know that you need a skilled captain? Under the Imperial Knight Karl from Hansea? Feng? Sedin Holen, who had served as captain of the Danish merchant ship Swan and the French merchant ship Dolphin, could be hired for as little as two hundred riyals a year. ”

Captain? A captain with ocean experience? The recruiter was moved, but before he could speak, he heard someone break the news.

"This bastard guy is a good captain, but it was in his hands that the Swan and the Dolphin sank."

"Who brought the boat to the reef?" Karl sneered. "It's not your Mr. Horn's dereliction of duty as a navigator."

The recruiter frowned, and the big man on the side saw this scene, and gently leaned over and whispered a few words, the recruiter nodded, so a big man brought the two people who were firing cannons at each other together: "Yu will give you a three-month probationary period, if you are qualified, you can be paid your salary as agreed, but if you are not qualified, then you will be thrown directly into the sea to feed the sharks!" ”

The Imperial Knight was fine, but Horn the Navigator shouted, "Who said I was going to work with this ill-fated captain!" ”

But the big man didn't listen to him, and pushed the two out of the bar: "Is there anyone else willing to accept recruitment?" ”

The recruiter asked again, seemingly thinking that the men's actions were too rough, and none of the sailors in the tavern responded with their heads bowed and drinking. The recruiter was bored and walked out the way, and as soon as the gang left, the bar was immediately filled with buzz again, with everyone talking about the weirdos

Walking out of Jose's house, the recruiter took out a handkerchief and fanned it on the wing of his nose, obviously suffocated by the black smoke miasma in the tavern, at this time, the big man on the side asked him how to deal with Martin and Horn, the recruiter thought for a while: "Send it to Huang Chaofeng's outer house to raise it first, and then send it away together when people find it, next, where should we go?" Voyager's House? Damn Macau, there are dozens of taverns in a small place, just lead the way."

"Recently, I heard that you got a big deal? Big-headed? "The Governor of Macau, Antonio Barbosa Lobo, naturally did not know about this scene in the tavern in his small domain, and at the moment he was enjoying his afternoon leisure with one of the elders of the Macau Commercial House." Come and have a toast and wish you a millionaire sooner rather than later. ”

"What kind of big business is nothing more than a thousand taels of jute and two thousand taels of canvas a year." Having said that, the Elder had a glass with His Excellency the Governor. "If I hadn't also undertaken the business of buying brown sugar from South China and transporting it to Dayuan during the sugar season, I wouldn't have made such a loss-making business."

"One thousand taels of jute and two thousand taels of Indian canvas, well, this business is indeed not big, but fortunately, it is more convenient to import jute and canvas from India, and this business has at least half of the profit, right?" The Governor put down his glass and inquired thoughtfully. "But the big guys themselves produce sugar, and the new white sugar and rock sugar are their specialty, so how can they think of continuing to import inferior brown sugar from southern China?"

"Isn't white sugar refined from brown sugar?" The elder lowered his glass as well. "Brown sugar in, white sugar out, this is also a good deal," said this, the elder himself laughed first. "In fact, as long as there is profit, we will ship whatever they need, and that's why we came all the way from Portugal to China."

"Of course, there is nothing wrong with this statement, but the current civil war in China should not last too long, and once the winner is confirmed, I believe that your business with the big man will not last long." The Governor, of course, stands tall and sees far away, so it is understandable that such language should be uttered.

"Of course, I understand that there is a saying in China that the ship will go straight when it reaches the bridge," the elder clasped his palms to his chest. "But until the victor is clear, even God will not prevent us from gaining the opportunity to benefit." After saying this remark, which the Jesuits would consider to be a rebellion, the elder subconsciously begged God for forgiveness, and when the prayer was over, the elder opened his eyes. "Right now, the big people are moving in from Chinese mainland in a planned way, and their market is huge, and if we don't catch up, the Spaniards, the British, and even the French will inevitably take their fair share of the profits."

"Speaking of the market, I recently received a report that orders for various iron materials and armor have increased significantly."

"That's right, for full-body armor, the preference of the big man has not changed." The elder responded that the cold-forged full-body armor in Europe was the standard equipment of Zheng Chenggong's Iron Man Army back then, and the bows and arrows of the Qing army could not penetrate this kind of armor with extremely hard hardness. "And according to the commercial representative who gave me the order that day, there was also a strong interest on the part of the big man in ordering Andalusian horses."

"Oh? Do you want to purchase large war horses? However, the loss of this transportation is not small. ”

"Who's to say it's not, but the other party has enough money, even if he sells him the crown of the King of Victory, there is nothing to do." The Elders, who had just blasphemed God, were now speaking out to King Alfonso VI of Portugal, who was living in seclusion in the Azores by Prince Pedro. "Of course," the elder immediately changed his words at the look of displeasure on the governor's face. "We are not mercenary Dutch, and we understand how to deal with these Eastern nobles."

"I hope so." The Governor nodded. "But remember, that we are only on Chinese soil, in case the new owner of this land is dissatisfied," the Governor's words were full of warnings. "His Royal Highness the Prince Regent and the Royal Government do not want to see Macau reclaimed"
