Chapter Eighty-Three: The Black Pearl
Deng Haonan was stunned for a moment, patronizing the excited admiration of the warship, but he forgot that he also captured the commander of the Dutch Penghu fleet, Rear Admiral Fan Weit.
From the very beginning when he heard the name Van Weit, Na Haonan knew that this girl was a member of the Dutch royal family. The surname Fan is exactly the surname of the Royal Dutch family, and this era. Except for the Dutch royal family, which has a surname, the rest of the Dutch are nameless. Dutch names are the funniest in the world. For example, cats, dogs, pots and pans, the first thing a Dutch woman sees when she gives birth to a child is the child's name. It was not until after Napoleon's conquest of the Netherlands that the Dutch were given surnames in order to facilitate the management of household registration.
Deng Haonan has not experienced any surrender ceremony, so the surrender ceremony is very simple. Major General Van Weit came out with three people, an artillery first officer and a navigation first officer. Deng Haonan's side used twenty loaded Marines as a foil background, Deng Haonan stood with his hands in the middle, and Lin Feng, Xue Muhua, Xiao Nai, and Hong Hailiang were all standing with their backs to their backs.
As soon as he was ready, Major General Fan Weite straightened his military uniform and slowly walked in front of Di Haonan.
The eyes are facing each other. It's another battle without gunpowder.
Soon, Major General Fan Weite was defeated under the majestic gaze of Deng Haonan.
Looking sideways at the people around Deng Haonan, Major General Fan Weite finally realized that he had made a big mistake all along, that is, he had always regarded Deng Haonan as a little pirate.
Is this a pirate there? All standard military uniforms and weapons, neat queues, and strict discipline are clearly the army!
He glanced back at the Dutch sailors behind him. One by one, they staggered and stood, standing. Sitting. Except that the officers had neat uniforms. The other people's clothes are colorful and varied, compared with Deng Haonan's subordinates, that is, they are called Huazi.
"Originally defeated at your hands. I'm one hundred and eighty dissatisfied! Major General Fan Weite sighed: "But seeing the appearance of your subordinates, I know that I underestimated you!" ”
As he spoke, Major General Fan Weite sighed, took off the saber on his waist, looked at it reluctantly, touched it again, and finally gritted his teeth, held it in his hand, and handed it to Deng Haonan with both hands.
"I have only one request. I hope you will be kind to me and my soldiers! ”
Deng Haonan nodded, reached out and took the saber in Major General Fan Weite's hand.
I saw that this saber was a handle made of high-quality ivory, and it was wound with gold wire. The handguards and scabbard guards made of fine bronze, embossed with ship cobalt, and the anchor are covered by a giant axe of the god of war and a harpoon of the sea god, in a cross-shaped layout, symbolizing the saber of a high-ranking naval officer. The whole is carved with exquisite patterns and plated with gold.
Drawing out the saber, the blade made of stainless steel shines in the sun, piercing people's eyeballs. That's why it's called a knife because it has a blade on one side. If you look closely, you can see that there are still patterns engraved on the back of the knife.
Great stuff!
Deng Haonan sighed beautifully in his heart!
"Don't worry! The Celestial Empire naturally wants to treat captives preferentially! Deng Haonan turned his head to Huzi and said, "Lock up their officers and soldiers separately!" ”
Huzi took the order. Van Witt and other Dutch officers were held in solitary confinement.
Well, the prison on the Buddha could not hold all the Dutch. Therefore, the heart number and the shirt number are respectively imprisoned part. Deng Haonan then designated the Uhfoxian as his ship, and asked Weiss to further introduce the ship in detail. As a result, Weiss was not imprisoned and worked as Deng Haonan's Dutch translator.
Second Lieutenant Qian Shun, the accompanying quartermaster, with the help of Weis, led people to count the items of the entire Erfoxian and registered them one by one. Uh, the Buddha Immortal has an empty displacement and a full displacement of up to the surname stew, and sure enough, the big-bellied warships of the West can be loaded!
After counting, Deng Haonan was taken aback when he received Qian Shun's written report.
No wonder the speed of the Uhfoxian slowed down, it turned out that the group of Dutchmen chased all the way and did not idle. He robbed several groups of merchant ships. Due to the fact that there are too many things. You can only pick the good ones and keep them. Even so. The cargo compartment was fully filled, as was the lower gun deck. No wonder when there was a firefight before. Uh, the bottom guns of the Buddha Immortal basically do not fire. At first, Deng Haonan thought it was because of the wind and waves, but only then did he understand. It turned out that there were too many things, which hindered artillery firing.
This group of *** can really fucking grab it!
Deng Haonan looked at the list, which recorded raw silk, silk fabrics, velvet, silk, satin, cotton, linen fabrics, jewelry, handicrafts, gunpowder, etc. Among them, especially textiles are the husband's sect. Due to the strong demand in the Spanish American market, Daming's silk and cotton fabrics soon became the first place in Manila's large merchant sails to the Americas. And it remained until the end of the Great Merchant Sail Trade.
Until the end of the period, Chinese silk and other goods still accounted for the total value of Mexico's imports. The prosperity of trade with China made the volume of trade in the Pacific once exceed that of the Atlantic trade, and in the old, 8, Han years, the Americas invested in trade with Europe at 10,000 pesos. And to the Oriental trade funds are, calcium 10,000 pesos.
Second Lieutenant Qian Shun said: "The preliminary estimate is that the goods on the Uhfoxian are worth 50,000 taels of silver, and if we sell them to European merchants in Manila, together with our original goods, it is conservatively estimated that they can be sold for 200,000 taels!" ”
Deng Haonan nodded, 200,000 taels, you can pull up a small fleet in Manila. Coupled with the 100,000 taels of fees given to him by Yan Siqi to build a trading station, Deng Haonan was able to establish a base in Manila and slowly develop.
At this moment, Deng Haonan has only one thought in his heart, that is, to be a pirate who is really fucking cool.
At this time, Weiss said on the side: "Boss, the East India Company was originally established by looting two 2,000-ton Galen ships from Spain and selling the goods in Europe. In less than twenty years, they have reached today's strength by plundering and buying and selling, and I think, with your strength, it is much higher than theirs. In less than a decade, your company will replace the East India Company as the most powerful company in the world! ”
Watching Weiss keep praising himself, Deng Haonan understood that this guy was showing loyalty and was afraid of being killed!
"You're so good at doing things! As long as you don't eat inside and out. I promise you'll eat and drink spicy food in the future! ”
"Thank you, boss!" Wes hurriedly thanked him.
The voice fell, and Captain Lin Feng walked in and said, "Headmaster! The outside has been arranged! It's just that the ship of the Buddha Immortal is damaged like Yan zhòng, I'm afraid it will take a while! ”
Deng Haonan nodded and said, "Let the Pallas drag the Buddha Immortal away, and find John to take someone to repair the rudder!" ”
Lin Feng said again: "Headmaster, uh, the Buddha Immortal is already ours!" Isn't it time for a different name? ”
Deng Haonan nodded and smiled: "That's right!" It's time for a name change! ”
Suddenly, Deng Haonan had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and blurted out: "Let's call it the Black Pearl!" ”
