Chapter 780: The Navy Rushes Forward

Shi Jianfei led a few brothers around the market, full of merchants who were picking laborers, rows and rows of natives, all tied to their arms with ropes, like a herd of cattle, at their disposal.

The old and frail were thrown out, and after the young and strong negotiated the price, they were taken away directly, and some of the old ones were not wanted, so they had to be discounted, two people counted as one, three counted as one, and the competition was not lively.

"Boss, there are more than 30 old and weak laborers over there, two dollars and three people, can we buy some and ship them back to China?"

Shi Jianfei sneered: "Your brain is broken, don't you know how bitter it is to drift at sea?" It's normal for these old and weak people to die when they bring them back, and they can't sell them at a price, and they consume a lot of food, so they will lose money if they don't do it. If there was a bargain, someone would have bought it a long time ago, so why stay here! ”

"Boss, if you are still smart, the brothers will point to you."

Shi Jianfei took a few people and turned two back, and a single native didn't buy it. It wasn't that he was reluctant to pay for it, he had a thousand dollars in his bag, which was a small amount of savings he had saved over many years as a pirate, enough to buy five hundred laborers.

But after all, he was born as a pirate, Shi Jianfei wanted to make more money for everything, and it was so hard to go on a trip, if he only earned a few hundred yuan, it was really boring.

After going back and forth like this, he suddenly found an indigenous leader, leading dozens of women, walking over dejectedly. Seeing this, Shi Jianfei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly stopped this leader.

He had been a pirate for many years and knew the native language, and it was only after asking him that he found out that the leader had heard that there were people buying slaves here. He wanted to exchange some arms for the natives fighting. Often, the young and strong are killed, and the women are taken back captive, and as a result, the leader thinks that the value of women is higher than that of other young people.

But when he came with dozens of women, he was only interested in women, so he had to go back.

Shi Jianfei listened and looked at the indigenous women, but after reading it, his brows were also furrowed, they were pitch black. Thin and shriveled, he doesn't look good, and he still has a smell on his body.

The subordinates also frowned a little: "Boss, these girls are the same as monkeys, they just go out to sell." No one wants it either. ”

"Shut up!" Shi Jianfei's eyes suddenly lit up, grabbed the head man and said, "I am willing to exchange a gun for thirty people." How many. How much do you think? ”

When the indigenous leader heard this, his eyes lit up, this price was much more expensive than Qingzhuang, and he immediately nodded.

"We have more than a hundred women, all for you!"

When Shi Jianfei heard it, there was still one. He was even more overjoyed, and immediately ran to the army, stuffed two fountain pens for the officer in charge, and then used two hundred yuan. Ten guns were bought, and the officer was not bad, and twenty rounds of ammunition were given to each gun.

With these things, Shi Jianfei immediately found the indigenous leader, exchanged one hundred and eighty women from him, and after some searching, a total of more than three hundred and twenty women were gathered, and all of them were escorted to their ship.

Shi Jianfei had a total of four boats, two large and two small, all of which were full, and he took out another five hundred yuan from his hand and handed it to his subordinates.

"Go, buy more food and water, preferably some clothes and medicine."

"Boss, you won't be pitiful and cherish the jade, just eat a little bit of these things, why do you need clothes and medicines, is it impossible to support your wife?"

"Don't talk nonsense, let me tell you, if we can send them back to China safely, our brothers' wives will be settled!"

His subordinates did not dare to disobey, and hurriedly prepared the things to be used, and then their four ships set off immediately, Shi Jianfei had been in the South Seas for many years, and he was already quite familiar with the sea.

But this time is different from the past, if it can really be as he thinks, as long as he succeeds this time, he can jump from a pirate, to an entrepreneur, to become a big boss, after having money, and then decorate the faΓ§ade, he, a bandit leader, can also mix into the upper class like a dog, who knows that he was born as a pirate and started by human trafficking.

However, there is no shame in human trafficking, and almost all of the European powers have sold black slaves. A few decades ago, the United States engaged in the westward expansion movement, overhauled the railway, and the colonists in Nanyang vigorously exploited resources, all of which sold Chinese laborers, and Shi Jianfei personally came into contact with those piglets.

They had no clothes on them, and in order to avoid escaping, they were painted with markers, and some of them carried torture instruments, which were worse than black slaves. As a result, over the years, Westerners have developed almost everything, and their pockets are full of money, and then they have pretended to be civilized, pointing at this and that, and they don't know how to look at their ass.

Since the ancestors of Westerners all started out as pirates and also did human trafficking, Shi Jianfei's behavior is nothing!

Their fleet is getting closer and closer to the mainland, and Shi Jianfei's heart is getting more and more excited, sitting on the bow of the ship, sometimes frowning, sometimes can't help but hey daxiao, the whole look of a nervous disorder.

"Boss, I'll go back to China one day, if you sail for a few more days, I'm afraid you'll be stunned!"

"What nonsense, you can follow the boss to get rich."

After all, buying and selling human beings is not a glorious thing, and all the ships transporting people are first delivered to Sanya, and then they are uniformly approved by domestic personnel, packaged into overseas laborers, and sent back to China in batches.

Shi Jianfei took more than 300 indigenous women to Haikou, and after getting off the boat, he found that many merchants were registering these natives, exchanging them for new identity documents and labor certificates, and after having this thing, they could send them back to other regions in a grand manner.

And depending on the number of transport workers, they can also get some additional bonuses. These businessmen who bought and sold human beings came back and forth, and they could get money from three sources, first of all, to the South Seas, the government had to provide some subsidies, and after sending people to Borneo, the South China government had to give a little reward.

At the same time, after replacing people from the hands of the natives, they can be sold to domestic construction sites and mines, and they can get a sum of money. Moreover, the government will also give a little allowance according to the work situation, and it will be a few hundred yuan after a trip. Many can even earn thousands of dollars.

For the Chinese government, it is really cost-effective to use such a small amount of money in exchange for a coolie who can work for a few years, of course, these natives will not last too long, and within three or five years, they will basically run out of physical strength and die of exhaustion.

The person in charge of registration was originally registering laborers, but when he suddenly saw Shi Jianfei coming over with a group of women, he immediately frowned.

"The construction site wants to be able to carry rocks. The young man who wielded the sledgehammer, you get a bunch of old ladies back, what is this matter, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you register. ”

"Don't, sir, listen to the little one." Shi Jianfei hurriedly said: "As the saying goes, men and women match. Work without getting tired. These indigenous women are black spots, ugly spots. But I can give birth to a doll anyway. It's a anyway. The small ones are also from poor places, how many bachelors can't find a daughter-in-law in their lives, and even in order to continue the incense, they have to find fools and lame people. These indigenous women are of the right age, in good health, and most importantly do not have a bride price. Also obedient and honest. Send it back to China, no one must rush to get it, don't you say? ”

When the registration officer heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. He looked Shi Jianfei up and down, the big black man, and said with a smile: "People are thick, you are delicate enough, I'll go and report to the boss to see how they deal with it." ”

Soon this situation was reported to Ge Yuexuan, who was originally in charge of the intelligence work of Liangguang, and is now in full charge of trade with Nanhua. Domestic weapons and materials, Nanyang specialties and labor, all under his control.

After Ge Yuexuan saw Shi Jianfei and listened to his words, he was immediately enlightened, and this big black man provided a good idea. In fact, there are also ideas from above, not only to extract labor, but also to change the demographic structure so that the Chinese can maintain an advantage in Borneo.

Now that I think about it, in addition to killing people, in addition to arresting laborers, intermarriage is also a good trick, as Shi Jianfei said, the medical conditions are very poor, and women are breaking through the life and death barrier when they give birth.

There are a lot of singles in China, and if you can get more women back in Nanyang, it will also be a supplement. In addition, those Chinese who have arrived in Nanyang can also marry a few more indigenous women to speed up intermarriage and assimilation.

Thinking of this, Ge Yuexuan immediately realized the value of Shi Jianfei's idea, and he arranged for someone to take Shi Jianfei and these women back to China to see if anyone wanted it. In addition, he hurriedly reported that if it was adopted, it would be considered a credit.

In fact, compared with the excitement below, the top is quite silent about the problems of Nanyang, and even the news reports are reluctant to say more.

Of course, the international community is quite lively about this, and all major newspapers are vying to report it, and after the Versailles and Washington conferences, the shijie pattern has basically stabilized, and this time the founding of South China has broken this situation.

In addition, the founding of the Chinese people has also aroused the fear of the Yellow Peril in the hearts of Westerners, especially with the strength of China, all kinds of unfavorable arguments have also appeared. Some white supremacists are agitating for the West to unite again to help the Dutch and eliminate South China.

However, although the media is lively, governments are still relatively restrained, and of course there are more and more private confrontations.

Among them, Britain actively tried to woo the United States and France, and even pulled Japan to jointly put pressure on China to force China to give up its support for South China, so that they could exterminate the country.

However, these three countries have their own plans, France controls Vietnam and other places, if they fall out with China and attract a large army to the south, how will they keep their colonies.

As for the United States, it is very dissatisfied with the establishment of South China, especially worried about affecting the Philippines, but they have a huge investment in China, and the Americans are also weighing the pros and cons.

The Japanese were quite active, hoping to suppress China's momentum, and after seeing through the faces of these powers, Zhang Tinglan immediately took measures, and he focused his breakthrough on the Japanese, China and Japan were the most recent and hostile, and Zhang Tinglan was also most afraid that the United States and Britain would support Japan in launching an all-out war against China.

Therefore, Zhang Tinglan instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to offer Japan the conditions that the two sides could jointly develop and utilize Borneo, and that Nanhua could provide the Japanese with 5 million mu of land for planting rubber, and that the Japanese could also be given the right to explore for oil.

After this condition was opened, the Japanese immediately drooled, saying that it was impossible, oil and rubber are out-and-out strategic resources, and land is something that the Japanese dream of.

Moreover, the success of South China also made the Japanese see the weakness of the West, and the southward expansion faction in Japan also raised its head in an instant. Why bother staring at China, why bother thinking about fighting this behemoth every day, if you turn the spearhead to the South Seas, maybe you will gain more and benefit more.

After some discussions, China and Japan reached a secret agreement whereby Japan would provide Nanhua with 30 decommissioned warships and help Nanhua form a shipping company with 200,000 tons of merchant ships. South China, on the other hand, is open to investment, providing oil and rubber to compensate for the cost of warships.

This kind of deal seems to be a bit of a loss for China, but by tying the Japanese to the chariot, there is an extra layer of cushioning, and the pressure on China's shoulders is much less.

After stabilizing Japan, they focused their work on the United States, and as for the British Zhang Tinglan, they no longer cared, even if they offended this outdated empire, they couldn't do anything to China.

After some negotiations between China and the United States, Zhang Tinglan agreed to open Borneo to the United States, and in order to avoid the problem of an uprising in the Philippines, the Chinese from the Philippines could be immigrated to Borneo, and China promised to respect the interests of the United States in the South Seas.

After a tense exchange of interests, because some of the crises brought about by the founding of South China have been resolved a lot, only the Netherlands is left screaming there, and the British sigh behind their backs, but with them, it is difficult to do anything, and Zhang Tinglan is also relaxed.

However, taking the initiative to cut the meat, Zhang Tinglan was still a little distressed, in the final analysis, the strength was still not enough, otherwise he would have swallowed it alone. Zhang Tinglan also became more and more eager for liliang at sea, so he immediately took the time to go to the Lushun shipyard to arrange a new task.

Navy Commander Shen Honglie and Navy Armaments Director Wu Yulin gathered together with naval generals and military personnel.

Zhang Tinglan glanced at it, and then said: "This time there is only one task, that is, to start the construction of two aircraft carriers, and four more heavy cruisers, we will build two aircraft carriers in three years, and strive to build the most powerful maritime aviation in the Far East within five years." ”

As soon as Zhang Tinglan said this, everyone present was extremely excited, and Shen Honglie clenched his fists even more: "Vice President, after many times of training Shiyan, we found that aircraft carriers have unique advantages over battleships, and if China wants to catch up with the development of the Shijie Navy, aircraft carriers are the most important link." ”

Wu Yulin also said with a smile: "The aircraft carrier is indeed important, but I have another good news to tell you, Vice President, just a few months ago, we did some repairs to the battleship Kirishima, and the navy will also have the first battleship, and the bodyguards of the aircraft carrier are thicker!"
