It wasn't until everyone left the castle and came to a secluded dock that Li Yanqing saw what the commodity was. A tattered four-masted Western sailing ship with a tall hull and two floors. The cannon on it was gone, and there were some obvious signs of damage on the ship's board, which looked like a pirate's trophy.

"It happened that not long ago, a gang of dastardly Spanish pirates broke into our jurisdiction with the intention of destroying our good business environment. In order to protect our interests, and to ensure the normal trade of the merchants, I led a group of brave young men in a hard fight against this group of vile pirates, and fortunately, God was on our side. This ship was left behind by the pirates. ”

In fact, it was a new Spanish Galen-class warship that was part of the Spanish fleet in the Philippines. In the past, Spain and Portugal did not interfere with each other in the Far East, but this time, somehow, a small fleet secretly sneaked into the waters of Macao and made two deals that did not cost money.

You must know that this is the territory of the Portuguese, and all the bandit business can only be done by the Portuguese. This kind of thing is equivalent to openly grabbing food, is it tolerable or unbearable? A fire broke down, and the Portuguese took advantage of the home field and smashed the Spanish fleet, sinking two warships and capturing the new warship.

However, both times they knocked each other's sticks and black guns. When the Portuguese went out into battle, they also carried the banner of the Japanese and fought with the Spanish warships.

The ship is new again, and Te also blinks. If you use it yourself. It's tantamount to scratching your face openly, and maybe there will be some other mess. If you sink, you feel reluctant in your heart. I had to unload the cannon above for my own use. The ship was thrown in the dock.

As soon as Hong Simei saw this foreign ship, she pulled Li Yanqing's sleeve and whispered, "Master Liu, I want it." ”

"I promised Ruizhu tonight, why don't you wait until tomorrow, and the big boss will come to accompany me?"

"Phew! You know what I'm talking about, less interrupting. But......" she smiled, "if the master can help me get the boat." I pulled my face down and said sorry for my damn for once. It's not that it can't be considered. ”

In the past few days on the water, the two have played each other a few times. A few times, it was Li Yanqing who stirred up her fire, and then went to find Qin Ruizhu by herself. A few times it was Li Yanqing who was teased by herself, but Hong Simei said that she was inconvenient. Or as if I saw my dead husband standing in front of me, I couldn't do it. The two teased each other and teased each other, as if they were engaged in a contest of patience, and whoever couldn't help it first would lose.

But this competition is not very fair, Li Yanqing has Ruizhu to vent her anger, and the only thing that Hong Simei can rely on is Jiaoxianggong, and the conditions are not equal. Hong Simei's defeat is only a matter of time. Besides, the attraction of the boat to her is too great.

Some of the boats of her Hong family boat gang are from Japan. Part of it is made from the Ming Dynasty. In terms of quality, the quality of Daming ships is far better than that of Japanese ships, but it is still inferior to Western ships. In particular, her ships are generally small, have few guns, and are maneuverable, but their combat effectiveness is limited.

This Western-style ship is very damaged. But a discerning person can see that it does not hurt the muscles and bones. Just tinker with it. Change a few sails and install cannons, which can be used as a magic weapon for the Hong family's fleet. This ship is tall and big, and in the future, the water will be on fire, and it will be revealed, who will dare to call it out of those pirates?

Li Yanqing looked disdainful and glanced at it a few times, "Are you embarrassed to sell this?" Look, what this has broken into, and there are holes. I've bought it and I'll have to hire a boat to tow it back. After pulling it back to Xiangshan, it was chopped up as firewood, and there was no other use. ”

"Your Excellency, you can't say that, this Galen-class galleon, even in Europe, is the latest capital warship, and it has not suffered fatal damage in battle. In fact, it only took us five days to get it built like a new ship. ”

When it comes to professional fields, Bugarao comes up with the style of an expert. What a good warship this is, if it weren't for the fear of causing trouble, he really wanted to keep this ship and use it as the capital ship of Macau.

"Okay, I'll give you seven days, and after seven days, I'll let the fourth sister come and pick up the boat. Fourth sister, if you are not satisfied with it when the time comes, you will directly set the torch boat on fire, and we will not have this friend. ”

Hong Simei was happy when she saw that her favorite foreign boat had arrived, and her body was soft and sticking to Li Yanqing's body, how well-behaved and well-behaved she was. When Simang saw that he had flattered the woman in Zhixian, his heart was finally relaxed, this time the deal was too good. Although the Portuguese had to hire compradors, they were also compradors themselves.

The imperial court opened a market in Xiangshan, but the magistrate agreed, and only the Portuguese were allowed to trade ashore, and the rest were caught ashore. And in order to identify the identity, it is necessary to put the investigation at that time. This survey is in your own hands, and you can give it to whoever you want, and who will not let you handle this authority when you have it? When the time comes, as soon as you enter and exit, you will wait to sit on the ground and collect the money.

But Li Yanqing still didn't seem to be satisfied, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's not right." This is not a battleship, don't fool me with a broken ship. The so-called warship, there must be guys on it. Why didn't I see a single cannon, did it collide with people when it was fighting? ”

Bugarao explained: "Your Excellency, it is so. The ship's cannons were damaged in the battle and were no longer usable, so I dismantled them all. After returning to Xiangshan, it is enough to install the firearm on the gun emplacement. ”

Li Yanqing sank his face, "What? After returning to Xiangshan? This workload is too much, and besides, buying a ship is naturally even a ship with a cannon, and only giving the ship but not a cannon, how can there be such a reason? ”

Bugarao secretly complained that after those cannons were disassembled, they had been used for other purposes, so they couldn't be put back together. Who knew that Li Yanqing would bite and hold on, and he wanted those cannons and shells. In the end, he was even more stunned

"I've heard that the gun factory has recently come out with a new batch of guns, which is almost enough to fit this ship. If it's not enough, take a few more guns and put them on top. This boat is my gift to my fourth sister, should I take a defective product as a gift? ”

Bugarao waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no." The new guns have been sold, even the deposit has been collected, I got this order through Guò's connections in Lisbon, if the guns are given to you, what will I pay? This one is absolutely not going to work. ”

"Can't do it? That's easy to do, we have to postpone the discussion of this Xiangshan trade. Say goodbye, fourth sister, let's go. I don't believe it, I have such a big business opportunity, I can't find a partner. (To be continued)
