The inhabitants of Bintan found that today was a special day, and everyone went to see the big ship parked in the harbor, which was so huge that it was like a behemoth in the harbor. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Some overseas Chinese in the port saw this huge ship, and immediately burst into tears, this is the treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty! Dancing with joy, there are many coolies in the port to make a living, since Portugal came, wiped out the Sultanate of Malacca, some royal descendants fled here to establish the Sultanate of Johor, but Portugal seized the Sultan of Johor and made him a puppet.

The invasion of Western forces did not attract the attention of the rulers of the Ming Dynasty, so that this vassal land was out of control and became a place for Westerners to show off their might, squeezing the living space of some overseas Chinese very narrow, and losing its former glory.

Now I see the armed merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, and the sailors on the treasure ship are neat and heroic. Feeling the national prestige of the Three Treasures Eunuch when he sailed, how could he not burst into tears and fill his clothes.

The arrival of this flotilla attracted the attention of Western forces, and the ship was going to dock here for about twenty days, with nearly a thousand people on board, which was a business opportunity.

At this time, in a governor's palace, the white-haired governor received a secret report, which recorded the situation of the Ming fleet in detail.

The Governor said to his commanders, as long as it helps the prosperity of the local area, there should be no conflict, after all, we are facing a powerful empire, and our task now is to establish a foothold here, govern this place, and be loyal to Your Majesty. Your task is to pay close attention to their movements, report and deal with anything in time, you can give them a little color first, our empire is not so easy to mess with, arrange someone to test it tonight, knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and then invite their leader to come to the governor's palace, and the commander will leave with his men.

Xiao Lang'er instructed the quartermaster and logistics officer in the captain's room, asking them to lead their men to contact the local shipyard as soon as possible, maintain the ship, repair it as soon as possible, and purchase the materials lost in the hurricane. Set up a local trading post, buy two ships, and hire one or two hundred sailors.

The quartermaster and his subordinates posted notices at the port, especially requesting that the local overseas Chinese be the mainstay, and that outstanding Malays were especially welcome to sign up. After passing the assessment, you can be hired immediately. The enrollment time is seven days, and the content of the assessment includes physical fitness, swimming, boat control, archery, running, etc., and special skills such as sail repair and sail control, cooking, firearms, artillery, etc. can be preferred.

For the recruitment of the captain, a certain amount of experience is required, and those who are interested are waiting here, and the vice admiral Shi Lang will meet for an interview. The captain's monthly salary probation period is one hundred taels, and the assessment is one hundred and fifty taels, plus the year-end bonus, which can be said to be very generous.

This is not enough to attract the captains of other fleets, there are already some very experienced captains who are eager to try, and their own salaries are enough to make ends meet, and a month's salary here can meet the needs of a family.

As soon as the notice was posted, it was full of people watching, some overseas Chinese young people were worried that they had no chance to make a living, and now when they saw the notice above, they danced happily, and the conditions were very rich, each third-class sailor had one tael of silver per month, the second-class sailor had two taels per month, the first-class sailor had four taels per month, the senior sailor had ten taels per month, and the special grade was fifteen taels per month for sailors with special skills. If you do a good job, you will also receive a dividend every year, and if there is an accident, you will be given a one-time pension of 100 taels, which has attracted a large number of young people, and even many Malays have crowded over.

Now the purchase of two cargo ships, please contact the Ming trade point if you are interested in selling, this trade point is leased by Qian Wanshi, he took a small boat to the local area to understand the situation, and then took a fancy to a big house near the port, and arranged for a cronie Zhang Pu to preside over the business here. He was told that his mission was twofold: first, to manage the procurement of local supplies, especially some weapons and ammunition, and second, to manage the fleet, including the hiring of captains and sailors.

This is a fat difference, Zhang Pu is very grateful to Shen Houye and Director Qian for their reuse, and vows to cherish this opportunity and make some achievements for the two of them.

"Brother Pu, this is a matter on the surface, there are more important things, to attract some local strength, including the power of the royal family, the most important thing is the strength of local overseas Chinese, to win over the formation of the Chinese armed forces, and when the time comes, to establish the sphere of influence of the Chinese, Marquis Shen let us prepare first. Qian Wanshi said with a solemn face.

Zhang Pu felt the seriousness of the problem, "The subordinates must follow the instructions of the Hou Ye and the supervisor to do things well." ”

"I believe in your prudence and ability, so I recommended you to Master Hou, do this well, and your status will improve very quickly. Qian Wanshi patted Zhang Pu on the shoulder. "Thank you for the cultivation, I Zhang Pu dare not to be bothered!" said Zhang Pu excitedly.

All the sailors were on standby on the ship, and Shi Lang commanded to deal with emergencies, and then took Rulan Windsor and his entourage to the port. Miss Olisa is reluctant to go, she wants to stay on the boat to accompany Shi Lang, recently the two have been closer, Shi Lang is very sympathetic to this tragic Indian girl, and also likes this beautiful girl very much, often comforts her, watching the sunrise together at sea for a long time, it is natural to have feelings, and the two have been in love for a long time, getting better and better.

Xiao Lang'er got off the ship with two beauties, and walked around the port, this port is very prosperous, it is a focus of trade between the West and the East, and the strategic position is very dangerous, so now Portugal controls here, makes a lot of money, the national strength is getting stronger and stronger, and also controls a lot of islands, time waits for no one, taking advantage of their unstable foothold, you can compete for the top, you must quickly win over the local strength, cultivate the Chinese arm, after all, since the Liu Song Dynasty, the Chinese have come here to operate, and the countries of Nanyang have always been China's vassal states, and their kings must be canonized by the Ming Dynasty to be orthodox。

You can see some faces in Chinese costumes everywhere, and I am very envious of the arrival of this big man, especially with a foreign girl.

These two beauties are holding the arms of the big man, today Rulan is wearing a pleated skirt of Windsor, Windsor is wearing a costume, both of them have a thin waist, full of curves, from behind, like two beautiful vases, this big man is really blessed, looks very young, at most twenty years old, it can really be said that the hero is not young!

Xiao Lang'er was going to go to the palace and then to the Portuguese governor's palace, which was in line with the etiquette of communication, after all, the Sultan of Rongfo was the nominal supreme leader. Walking towards the palace with Rulan and Windsor, these two beauties added a lot of color to themselves, and they were the focus everywhere.
