Chapter 22: Encouragement
"This is a list of casualties and a report on the damage!" Shi Lang entered the captain's room with a stack of papers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xiao Lang'er looked at the list carefully, and the lives were still in front of him, but now it became a paper list, with a total of seventy-five people lost, thirty-two people injured to varying degrees, one three-masted gunboat was lost, and other ships were also damaged to varying degrees. Even the hull, sails, masts, and internal facilities of the Daming treasure ship have been damaged, and it seems that it will take half a month to repair.
Time waits for no one, and this ship can be driven, but if it is not repaired, the damage will be greater. Go to the port of the Malay Archipelago to repair it, which will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.
After the fall of the Malacca Dynasty, the Malay Archipelago was divided into many small countries, among which the Sultanate of Aceh, the Sultanate of Johor and Perak were the strongest.
In front is the Sultanate of Johor, a ******-religious country that believes in Allah Allah, which was invaded by Portugal and other Western countries, and was controlled by Portugal, and further west is the Strait of Malacca, and beyond that is the Sultanate of Aceh.
Xiao Lang'er looked at this information, and in the future, he would inevitably have to deal with Westerners, and there would be some contradictions, but now is not the time to do it, his own strength is too weak, he only understands the situation in these places, does business with them, and in the future, when his strength is strong, he can eat a piece of meat here and compete for hegemony with Western forces.
Xiao Lang'er had an idea to strengthen himself in the process of sailing and form a powerful fleet that could recruit a large number of sailors and pirates, and even some mercenaries.
Otherwise, if you get the treasure, you won't be able to bring it back, and you need a strong navy to protect it. No matter how strong you are, it won't help, you can't bring back so much gold and silver treasure alone, right?
Under the instructions of an experienced navigator, the fleet sailed to Bintan, the harbour city of Johor.
It is estimated that he can reach Bintan in one day, Xiao Langer wants to find Windsor, and there are many places that need her help in the future, opening a language school on the island and dealing with Western trade. It seems that she still has to be taken down and a very intimate relationship is reached.
In the evening, Windsor stood on the deck of the bow of the ship with a small flower umbrella and a snow-white pleated skirt, looking at the distant scenery, and the black servant Ann Julie poured her a drink.
Xiao Lang'er walked over gently, "Beautiful young lady, your clothes are very suitable for you, elegant and charming, the scenery of this place is really charming, I feel like I can't see enough of you!" "This is how you flirt with women?" Windsor's high eyebrows were raised, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, her placket was very low, with lace and fine workmanship.
The black servant took the plate and walked away with his big buttocks twisted, "Miss, I'll brew the coffee and send it over later." ”
Xiao Lang'er glanced at it, and the two white and tender hemispheres were about to come out, almost squeezing the corset. "However, your compliments are not very clever, and you have to improve your skills, and if you want to please Western women, in addition to humor, you must also have superb dancing to please women's hearts!" The delicate words spat out from the bright lips, and the teeth were as white as jade. Windsor wrapped the blonde hair in her ears back, twisted her thin waist, and her chest was surging, full of style. "Then I'll learn flirting and dancing with you!" Xiao Lang'er had the urge to kiss her.
At this time, the sun is setting, it is the most beautiful time, Xiao Lang'er hugged Windsor's waist, looked at Windsor gently, his head slowly leaned over, Windsor's royal blue eyes were a little surprised, slowly closed his eyes, and his bright red mouth moved.
Xiao Lang'er bit Windsor's mouth, sucking desperately, **** her tongue, Windsor trembled, hugged Xiao Lang'er tightly with her hand, and grabbed Xiao Lang'er's flesh with her slender hand.
Windsor's nose let out a cheerful moan, and her whole body trembled a little, she hadn't felt like this for a long time, even the first kiss didn't have such a taste of ecstasy, the first kiss felt very bland, with anticipation, but it turned out to be uninteresting, and now, Xiao Lang'er's kiss can make her melt.
The kiss lasted for half an hour, "Lang! I love you, you are so good, I can't stand it! I'm going to die!" Windsor's plump body began to get hot, and the two of them were close to each other, and no one saw the place where the bow was shielded from the wind, and the two of them were close together.
The sea breeze howled, and for a long time, Windsor let out a wail, a joyful moan. The two were lying flat on the deck.
Looking up at the starry sky, how round and big the moon on the sea is, how deep and blue the sky is, so far away. A trail of clouds floated away, and the occasional seabird flew by, and it would be nice if they could stay here forever.
Windsor murmured in Xiao Lang'er's ear, "Lang, I won't marry you, I just want to be a lover all the time!" said as he lay on his body and put a pocket watch with a gold chain on him, "When you see it in the future, you will think of me!"
"I promise you, always be a lover. Xiao Lang'er got up and kissed Windsor's forehead. Give her a piece of jade pendant given by the emperor, "I still have something to deal with at night, I can't accompany you, you go find Rulan!"
Anjulie just appeared, with coffee in hand, a clever black servant, loyal and reliable. "Mr. Lang, please try it too!" said he handed Xiao Lang'er a cup, the liquid in the porcelain cup was still hot.
Xiao Lang'er took a sip, his face was a little strange, Windsor sneered when he saw it, this is a good thing, cocoa from the New World, ground into powder, although bitter, but very fragrant, if you are afraid of bitterness, you can add some sugar, and said that he picked up the sugar cubes in the plate and put them into Xiao Lang'er's cup.
After a while, Xiao Lang'er took a sip, it was really fragrant, delicious, and I also had to prepare a little in the captain's room.
"Goodbye!" Xiao Lang'er said as he walked towards the command module, "Miss Oil!" Windsor said in English.
"What?" "I miss you!" Windsor laughed, and her pleated skirt fluttered. Her smile infected Xiao Lang'er, and Xiao Lang'er also learned to say, "Miss Oil!" and walked away with a smile on her face, it was really a beautiful night.
Coming to the command cabin, all the leaders above the middle level were already waiting here, waiting for the arrival of the Hou Ye.
Xiao Lang'er walked into the command cabin, and all the personnel stood up, hello Hou Ye! Xiao Lang'er waved his hand, "Brothers, this accident is very serious, we have lost a lot of brothers, this is our friends and relatives, we express our deep condolences for their departure, let us mourn for them for three minutes!"
After three minutes, Xiao Lang'er sat down. Holding the golden pocket watch and looking at it, the leaders present all looked at it in amazement, what kind of treasure is this?
"It's a Western thing, and some of them have more advanced technology than us, so we have to keep learning and learn from each other's strengths. Now I will do two things, one is that we have suffered heavy losses in the storm this time, and there are many things to do, and in the future we will have to pay compensation to the families of the casualties, and my opinion is that each family member of the casualty should pay two hundred taels of silver, so that their families will have no worries about their lives. I will send personnel from the intelligence group to do this, and pass the news to Qiu Long, the sentry group of the beggar gang, and ask him to inform Qian Wanshan to deal with it! I hope that everyone will convey this matter to their subordinates and let them feel relieved, since I, Shen Lang, have brought them out, I will be responsible for him and his family. Also, give five taels of silver to each of the sailors on the ship, comfort them, through this matter, to become more resolute and tenacious, to create a brave and unafraid of sacrifice of the iron-blooded team, after this mission, you can join my personal sailors, you can see the treatment I give. "These leaders were very excited when they heard this, this is a good thing, who cared about these things before, they died when they died, but now Shen Hou Ye is more benevolent and righteous, and he often pays salaries, and he also takes into account the families of the sailors, it is a blessing to follow him, and he must follow Shen Hou Ye in the future.
"Hou Ye Shen! Wherever you go in the future, we will go, and the one who is a confidant will die!" "Yes! We will follow you! Let us go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, we are all willing!" Everyone present was enthusiastic and expressed their loyalty. There is the official who is so good to his subordinates.
"The second is that we are about to go to Malaya, the situation in this place is complicated, and there are some Western forces, such as Portugal, Spain, Britain, and France, we will not conflict with them for the time being, we will do business first, learn some good things from them, buy them, and then cut a piece of meat here when the strength is strong, occupy the territory here, originally this is our Ming sphere of influence, I will set up several governors here in the future to manage an area, these governors may be born from those here。 ”
"Hou Ye Shen is really far-sighted, we will definitely follow Hou Ye to complete this task!" Everyone here was eager to try.
"The others can go down to appease your subordinates and convey my opinion to them, and Qian Wanshi will stay for a while!" These leaders talked to each other and left, looking forward to the beautiful blueprint of Marquis Shen.
"Wanshi, sit down!" Xiao Lang'er said easily, waving his hand and letting Qian Wanshi sit down on the chair next to him. This time you stop at the port of Bintan, you have to set up a trading post, you can recruit some people in the local area, give them a higher salary than the local ones, collect local products and all kinds of information, buy two ships like the last time in Champa, buy the specialties here, open trade routes, do coastal business, this matter is left to you, and you have to find some Westerners, do business with them, transport our Ming tea, silk and porcelain, transport their sophisticated weapons, and even recruit some skilled talents, and give them generous treatment。 When Qian Wanshi heard Xiao Lang'er's words, he really admired Xiao Lang'er's foresight and courage.
"The subordinates immediately started to prepare, and one of their subordinates was left in Bintan as the supervisor and was in charge of this business!" Qian Wanshi said and left.
Xiao Lang'er looked at his back with satisfaction, this is a capable cadre, Wen has money and ten thousand stones, Wu has Shi Lang, this is his right-hand man, how much burden he has been relieved, Xiao Lang'er means, not only to have a rich life, but also to have great power, everything is under control.
