When Rodelni told his subordinates about the employment price offered by Zhao Hongyu, the Portuguese who had come with Rodelny cheered.

Because this trip was so well worth it.

It's just a battle, and there is such a large sum of money to take, only a fool will not do it.

Although the battle kills people, it is nothing to them at all. You must know that during the voyage to the East, Lu Dao would have died.

Sickness, pirates, storms, all sorts of emergencies, that one time won't take the lives of your companions.

Besides, Europeans have an adventurous spirit in their bones, especially when they have money to take them, and this spirit will be brought into full play.

An ordinary soldier was able to get twenty taels of silver through this battle, and then exchanged for three taels of gold in the Wa Kingdom. And if this gold were brought to Europe, it would be doubled.

So, for the Portuguese, it's a good deal.

This is still available to ordinary soldiers, like the other leaders of the middle and high ranks, who will be paid more.

Especially Rodelni, although Zhao Hongyu would not give him a salary, Zhao Hongyu told him privately that if he captured Shiliang City, then the wealth looted in the city would give him 10%.

This made Rodrini swallow his saliva, and his eyes lit up.

How much wealth was in an Oriental castle, Rodelni didn't quite know.

But in any case, even if the castle is poor, the tenth of the wealth must be more than the castle lords in Europe.

Roderni had been on the Wa side for a long time, so he knew very well how much of the eye-popping wealth the lords of the East possessed.

It's just that he didn't dare to think about it before, and he wouldn't even think about it.

After all, here they are just outsiders, and it is impossible for them to do such a thing without roots.

Not to mention anything else, even if they were lucky enough to rob the lord wealth of the Wa people, it would be impossible for them to leave the eastern seas.

Know the way. Those pirates on the eastern sea are not easy to mess with.

The Europeans who came to the East suffered a lot at the hands of the Oriental pirates.

But now it is different, the fleet of the Song Empire, which has become famous in Europe, has appeared in the East. Rodelni, who had a deep understanding of the Song Empire, knew very well that the fleet of the Song Empire had strong combat effectiveness and was at its peak.

If the Song Empire is the leading force to carry out some looting against the Japanese people, then the feasibility is still very high.

At that time, even those Eastern pirates will not be able to do anything to the fleet of the Song Empire, if those Eastern pirates dare to come to find trouble, then they will definitely suffer a big loss.

The Song Empire defeated the Dutch and the Spaniards. The news of the seizure of the Caribbean colony has spread throughout Europe.

Therefore, the strength of the fleet of the Song Empire has already made the Europeans hear about it.

Among them, the one who knows this best is Rodelni.

After all, when the Song Empire launched a military campaign against the Caribbean, he was trading in the city of Manhattan.

So, he knows this very well.

At the same time, he was very powerful for the warships of the Song Imperial fleet. There is also a clear understanding.

The Song Empire's warships were fast, had a large number of shipboard guns, and at the same time had very high defense, and the firing range of the guns was twice as long as that of half of the battleships.

So. If it was to start a war at sea, with just these few advantages, then the fleet of the Song Empire could be completely invincible.

The speed of the voyage is high, which allows it to maintain a reasonable advantageous distance from the enemy's warship. It makes it impossible for the enemy to get close to you for broadside combat, and it also puts itself out of range of the enemy's artillery, so that the enemy's artillery has no way to threaten itself. The advantages in this can be greater.

At the same time, when they were outside the range of the enemy's artillery, the warships of the Song Empire could give the enemy continuous blows with a range of artillery that exceeded twice the range of the enemy's warships...... Thinking about it with your ass, who can stand such a beating.

Therefore, although the pirates in the east are powerful, they are absolutely invincible against the warships of the Shang Song Empire.

Like the pirates of the East, they are just bullying people like them. And most of the time, the pirates of the East did not rely on the strength of their ships and guns, but on their numbers.

But all these advantages will not be considered advantages at all against the Song Empire.

Even if these are not counted, then the Song Empire can completely rely on the superior speed of its warships to quickly break away from the other party.

In this way, it is impossible to keep up with what the enemy is fighting.

It can be said that the fleet of the Song Empire can fight and run, and with such a force, he Rodelny still has nothing to worry about.

Just get rich honestly.

I have to say that Rodelni, who has traded in the Americas and stayed for a while, is really very clear about the advantages of the Song Empire's warships.

Because he was not wrong in his judgment and assessment.

It's just that now he ignores a problem, that is, the crown prince of the Song Empire is not leading the fleet in a naval battle, but leading the army of the Song Empire in a landing war.

Land warfare and naval warfare are fundamentally different.

Moreover, they were about to engage in the most brutal siege warfare in land warfare, and Roderni appeared at this time, and he was simply the best cannon fodder candidate to send to the door.

Of course, Rodernny, who had fallen into the illusion of wealth, did not think of such things now.

Now Rodernie is already full of gold coins with small wings flying around him, and as for how much the brutal siege will cost him, these are no longer what he wants to consider.

His mind was now full of thoughts, after capturing this Japanese castle called Shira Castle, how much would he have one-tenth of his wealth.

For Rodernier, of course, the more the merrier.

"My lord, when are we going to attack?"

One of Rodernny's men asked.

"It's up to the crown prince to decide what he wants, we are only getting paid, and I have no control over some of the progress of the war."

After listening to Baron Roderny's words, his subordinates nodded in agreement.

Since they are cameos as mercenaries, then they should act like mercenaries.

While the person has money and people to eliminate disasters, he must also follow the employer's arrangement. That's what makes a mercenary.

On the European continent, mercenaries are still very professional. The most representative of these are the Swiss mercenaries, who have been involved in the history of wars on almost the entire European continent.

Of course, if you can't pay halfway through the hiring, then these professional mercenaries will not be so easy to talk about.

Even Swiss mercenaries can do something jaw-dropping.

In Europe, such problems often arise as well.

That's when employers are already in financial trouble, and they often have some financial crises that lead to non-payment of salaries.

So. The mercenaries usually kidnap and hire their lives as a threat to their employers to pay. They will even plunder some of the wealth in the mercenary territory as their salary.

But in essence, in fact, the mercenaries accepted the employment, and the employer paid for it.

So it's right for them to do so.

In short, there are some things about Europeans that are also very strange.

But. These things are unlikely to happen on Zhao Hongyu's side.

After all, Zhao Hongyu is a big money, and he won't be like some European employers who can't pay their salaries.

How much industrial silver is in the realm of the virtual world. And the price is very cheap.

So, how could he not be able to pay his salary.

Besides, the price of mercenaries in this era is actually too cheap for Zhao Hongyu.

The price of a human life. In another time and space or in the virtual world, less than 2,000 yuan is simply cheaper than the cabbage on the street.

Only Zhao Hongyu's brain was pumped, or if it was in the water. will feel that it is not worth it.

Rodelni conveyed the meaning of Crown Prince Zhao Hongyu to his companions, and was unanimously supported by his companions and subordinates, as long as there was money to be made, then these Portuguese would not care about other things.

It is also quite sad to say that these Portuguese came to the East from all over the ocean, thinking that they would be able to make a fortune in this legendary country full of gold, but they did not make any money at all, but lost a lot.

Since they came to the East, they were first cleaned up by the pirates in the East, and they had to pay protection money every month under the strong military deterrence of the other party, which was a big loss.

At the same time, because they are Europeans, there are many restrictions on doing business in the East.

First of all, when they do business in the Ming Dynasty, they often do not succeed, because those 'rich and handsome' or officials in the Ming Dynasty simply look down on these dicks from Europe and are almost unwilling to deal with them.

Therefore, their business in the Ming Dynasty was basically not developed.

And most of the trading on the side of the Japanese people was monopolized by the 'rich and handsome' of the Ming Dynasty, and they couldn't get involved. Even if they dared to compete with the 'rich and handsome' of the Ming Dynasty, they were usually run out or shipwrecked at sea.

In short, the Europeans who came to the East in this era are called a tragedy without limits.

And that's not all, they are always oppressed by the pirates of the East.

If they want to mix here in the East, they will always be constantly bullied by the Easterners anyway.

But this time and again, because they can't support it because they spend money like running water.

Therefore, before meeting Zhao Hongyu, Roderni had already encountered financial problems.

However, it seems that there has been a turning point now, which makes Rodelny very happy. (To be continued......)
