Chapter 494: The Oriental Guest on the Dutch Ship (Three Watches!) )

"Your Highness, we plan to cultivate more fertile land for growing grain and vegetables after a while, there is a lot of land here but most of it is undeveloped, which shows that the Dutch are not making good use of the land here in Cayenne."

In the Governor's Palace, the Governor of Chinese descent in charge of the colony was making a report on Zhao Hongyu's work.

As a member of the military, Chelsea were of course also retained.

Although he doesn't care about government affairs, after all, his identity is there, so it doesn't matter if he stays and listens.

"The climate here is great and there is an abundance of wild fruits. If we can make good use of it, then we can also have one more fruit-producing area, and there is still no pollution. ”

The young governor of Chinese descent winked at Zhao Hongyu.

Behind these words, there is another layer of meaning.

Zhao Hongyu still understands this meaning.

These genetic people in high positions all know that their majesty is carrying a cheating device against the sky.

If this thing is put to good use, the profit can be huge.

Otherwise, Zhao Hongyu would not have been able to establish a huge empire and lay down such a large territory in just over two years.

Today, even the whole of America is almost in control.

It can be seen how important the role of this anti-sky plug-in is.

Unlike other countries, those countries produce goods and goods, and they have to sell them to the countries in addition to their own consumption to earn the money that the countries need.

But the problem is that most of the products in the country of this day and age are either insufficient or have various reasons.

The Song Empire is different, because of Zhao Hongyu's anti-heaven plug-in, there is no need to worry about excess output.

Because, he can completely take these substances. Sold to the Virtual World.

After being sold to the Metaverse, Zhao Hongyu could also use the currency he obtained to buy the 'high-tech' products he needed to develop his empire in the seventeenth century.

This is something that no country in this era can compare.

The grains, fruits, and even vegetables produced here are very sought-after in the virtual world.

The reason is simple, green and pollution-free.

Even the cattle and sheep raised on Manhattan Island and the pigs raised in captivity can be bought at a good price with this.

Because the situation on the side of the virtual world is exactly the same as the future life where Zhao Hongyu is located.

So. Zhao Hongyu They don't have to worry at all, their output materials will be backlogged or they can't be sold.

Such a situation is simply impossible.

Therefore, the administrators of the empire have always been very bold about development.

After listening to the administrator's development plan, Zhao Hongyu nodded: "It's good for you to make your own decisions about this matter, I have always been a big shopkeeper, and you also know the way, I just need to look at the results, as for the process, let you think about it yourself." But the climate here is really good. If you can really use it, I think there will be no shortage of output here. ”

Regarding their plans, Zhao Hongyu really didn't want to interfere.

After all, as the de facto ruler of an empire, it is impossible for him Zhao Hongyu to do everything himself.

If that's the case. What do you want Wang Shan to do?

And he's not superhuman.

If you really had to do everything yourself, I guess I'd be exhausted a long time ago.

There are so many decisions and things to be made in a huge empire.

Zhao Hongyu still wants to live for two more years. I don't want to die so early.

For Zhao Hongyu, as long as he controls a general direction, he will let the rest of the things be done by the people below.

It's also worry-free. His subordinates are also easy to do.

Therefore, after listening to Zhao Hongyu's words, the Chinese governor standing opposite him nodded with a smile and responded.

Then, under his leadership and greeting, a banquet began-

Dividing Line –

At the same time as the banquet was held to welcome Zhao Hongyu to Cayenne, a warship flying the Dutch flag sailed into the Caribbean Sea.

The Dutch merchant warship sailed directly from the east coast of Africa and did not return to Europe.

So, they don't know that there is a ruler here in the Caribbean.

For them, the southern Caribbean is still their Dutch territory.

In fact, the ship looked no different from other Dutch merchant ships.

It's just that on its deck, there is a person who doesn't fit in with the surroundings, which makes this ship seem different.

On the deck, a tall, black-haired, black-eyed man in a robe was tied under a pole.

Obviously, this man is very different from the people around him.

"You red-haired ghosts can't die well, I Liu Da Scar will not let you go, join your mother to give Lao Tzu a good time, don't be so old Tzu if you are a man."

A flurry of Oriental languages came out of the man's mouth, and it turned out to be an Oriental.

He really had a long scar on his face, which made them look very fierce.

No wonder he calls himself Liu Da Scar.

It's just that it's a Dutchman's ship.

As an Oriental, how did he get on a Dutch ship, and was transported from the East to the Caribbean by the Dutch?

And judging from his current situation, it is clear that his current situation is not very good.

It is likely that this guy has annoyed the Dutchman, or he would not have been tied to a pole.

At this time, the sky is shining, and the sun is shining.

The scorching sun shining on the sea is not so pleasant.

But anyone who runs on the sea knows that basking in the sun on the sea is definitely not a good thing.

And this Liu Da's scarred lips have been dried and cracked, and his voice has begun to be hoarse.

"My son, don't be rash anymore, these red-haired ghosts really killed people, what can I do about my father."

At this time, I don't know what direction to go from the deck. Another person shouted.

A Dutch sailor walked to the middle of the deck, stopped at a place fixed with iron bars, and rebuked in a strange Chinese language: "Don't shout, if you shout again, you will all be thrown into the sea." ”

Not!

Liu Da's scar on the pole had already sunburned, so his cursing had stopped.

And the man who was held in the cabin below did not speak again after hearing the Dutchman's words.

Seeing that the men were no longer talking, the Dutch sailors left satisfied.

"Old man, where are these red-haired ghosts going to get us?"

Under that iron bar was a cabin for the slaves.

And at this time, inside this cabin. More than 200 people with ragged faces, black hair and black eyes were imprisoned.

If Zhao Hongyu was here, hearing the language they used to talk, coupled with their clothing and hairstyle, he would definitely know where they came from.

Yes, these people are the people of the Ming Dynasty in the East.

It's just that I don't know why they appeared on the Dutch ship and were imprisoned here by the Dutch.

And historically, there is no description of Orientals being trafficked to the Americas.

Of course. This refers to the seventeenth century.

By the nineteenth century, the term no longer existed.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight-Nation Coalition Army in Beijing, and during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, many Orientals were sold to the United States to build railways.

But in this day and age. There really hasn't been any talk of Chinese being brought to the Americas.

The reason is simple: it is far less convenient to get people from the East than from Africa.

Not to mention the long way to the east, it takes a long time.

And everyone doesn't know what price the Oriental can sell.

Besides. At this time, the East was far from being as weak as it was at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

Although the Ming Dynasty of this era has begun to decline, it is not something that Europeans can bully.

At the same time, pirates off the coast of the East. None of this is something that the Europeans can deal with.

Therefore, it is unrealistic for Europeans to want to be like Africa, and to get people from the Ming Dynasty.

Coupled with the fact that it may not make money, there is no such thing in history.

But the problem is that now the Dutch ship is after all the people of the East Ming.

It's a bit of a fun.

The conversation in the cabin continued, and the sunburned Liu Da Scar on the pole was also put down by the Dutch and thrown back in.

Judging from Liu Da's reaction, his current state is very bad.

After the sun exposure, his whole body was severely dehydrated.

Even if he has a good physique, no one can say for sure whether he will survive now.

"Old Master Wang, you can think of a way. Whether we people can survive or not, you can also give a word. ”

In the darkness, a group of people in the cabin gathered around.

Obviously, they were all headed by a man over fifty years of age and a very old face.

Old Master Wang, that is, a thin little old man who was surrounded by everyone, his whole face trembled when he heard the person next to him ask such a question.

Seriously, the question of whether they would survive or not, and where the Dutch were going to take them, was really not something he could answer.

Now that their lives and deaths are in the hands of the Dutch, what can he say as one of them?

"It's hard to say~"

Old Master Wang sighed deeply.

"Perhaps, these Dutchmen don't want to kill us. Otherwise, how could they have come so far to bring us to this place. ”

Recalling what happened to them, Old Master Wang also had some hope in his heart.

Yes, the Dutch didn't kill them, and it's clear that they have some value.

They may be taken to a certain place to be used for hard labor, or they may be sold to other countries.

Annam or Siam, or the South China Sea states?

"How many days have we been at sea?"

Old Master Wang asked in a deep voice.

Immediately someone replied, "It's been five months and eighteen days, and I've been counting them." ”

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Yes, five months and eighteen days, locked up in a dark cabin, aimless.

What are the plans of these Dutchmen?

All of them don't understand.

If they were to be killed, the Dutch at sea had the means and the opportunity.

Tie them up in a string and throw them into the sea and it will be a death, and there will be no hope of life at all.

But the Dutch didn't do it.

If you want to sell them, you can't spend so much time at sea for no reason.

Because in terms of time, whether it is to Annam or Japan, or Siam or the South China Sea countries, it will arrive a long time ago.

Could it be ......

Wang Fuzi thought of another situation.

Soon after, though, he was interrupted from his musings.

"Father and son, Liu Da Scar has woken up."

Ouch!

Ever since Liu Da Scar was thrown in, someone has taken care of him.

Now that he had woken up, someone immediately whispered to Master Wang.

From this point of view, Liu Dascar's status among these people is not low.

Wang Fuzi came back to his senses, groped in the darkness for a while, and came to the place where Liu Da was scarred.

"It's not very good, it's hot."

After Wang Fuzi came over, a young man who was looking after Liu Da Scar whispered to Wang Fuzi.

Master Wang nodded and looked intently.

Liu Da, who woke up, was scarred and opened his chapped lips.

"Thief, didn't the red hair throw me into the sea?"

Dare, he thought he had been dealt with by the Dutch.

Wang Fuzi hurriedly said: "Boss Liu, take a good rest." You don't have to fight against the red-haired people, now the life and death of our people are in the hands of the red-haired people, you have to think about it, they obviously don't want us to die now, so that we have hope to live, only by surviving can we have a chance to take revenge. ”

Wang Fuzi's words made Liu Da's eyes flicker in the dark.

Alive! Avenge!

"Zheng Zhilong, if it weren't for this bastard colluding with the red hair and the Portuguese, how could our brothers end up like this."

Liu Da Scar said hatefully.

However, because of the long-term exposure to the sun, his physical condition is not very good now.

Therefore, he is very weak to speak now, so he has no momentum.

But from his words, it can be heard that these Orientals who were locked up in the cabin were all killed by a person named Zheng Zhilong.

The young man who was taking care of Liu Da's scar raised his head at this time, put it on his lap to make his pillow more comfortable, and then also spoke: "Boss, what Master Wang said is right, the red hair is not the same as usual. If we were caught in normal times, we would have been thrown into the sea, or we would have been hanged, and they would not have kept us for so long, so I don't think they want us to die, so we have a chance to survive. ”

Through the window made of iron bars not far away, the little sunlight leaking out was only faintly visible, and the young man who took care of Liu Da's scar was very young, that is, fifteen or sixteen years old in the next generation.

"As long as we survive we have a chance, we can take revenge."

After listening to the young man's words, Wang Fuzi sighed in his heart.

Xindao: I hope it is not as I think, if this is the case, although we can survive, but it is definitely better to live than to die. As for revenge...... Then don't even think about it......

Because what Wang Fuzi thought of was that these red-haired ghosts might be trying to bring them back to Europa.

Otherwise, this ship wouldn't have been at sea for so long. (To be continued......)
