On the pier of Humen Port

Viscount Li Yong, who was wearing a set of tweed pattern trench coats, watched the huge hull of the cruise ship go away, and asked in a cold voice; "Are the meat tickets and famous horses properly placed, and is there anything wrong?"

"Back to my lord, oh, I met the secret service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs when I was sent to the ship, and they seemed to be reluctant to make any extraneous branches, so I can say that it took a lot of money to arrange the meat tickets and horses."

"Is it a secret service of the Imperial Household Office?"

"Well, it's a treasure hunter, and it's estimated that he will escort a batch of European treasures and antiques of great value back to the mainland, so he is not happy that our meat tickets are on the ship, after all, no one likes to cause trouble."

"So how did you solve it?" Viscount Li Yong's expression became serious.

These members of the Imperial Interior try not to offend, sometimes they crooked their mouths, who knows what trouble they will cause?

"I added three more Arabian thoroughbreds, one for each of the leaders, and asked them to take care of them more, so they didn't say much."

"Well, well done, these losses can't be borne by you, go back to my stable and pick a few good horses, just pick five, and the extra will be a reward for you." Viscount Li Yong's expression soothed, and he nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you Lord for your generous gift, and I am grateful for the mountain wind." The mountain wind hugged the fist and thanked the reward.

The lord does things is the atmosphere, everyone knows that there are good horses in the lord's stable, there are always three or four hundred thoroughbreds, and there is also his own private horse farm to breed thoroughbreds, this is the hobby of the Lord Humen, he has a lot of famous European horses, any one is earned.

A famous horse is more precious than a woman, a famous horse can easily cost thousands of pounds, and ordinary ones can also be hundreds of pounds, but it can be shipped to Australia at least 220 pounds, and it is impossible to be less.

Those Arab women are much cheaper, and it is forty or fifty pounds to be shipped to Australia, and the young and beautiful ones can be about one or two hundred pounds, basically one price per person, but it is difficult to have more than 200 pounds of the best.

Italian girls are a little more expensive, and the best ones are only three or four hundred pounds, and the usual ones are around 200 pounds, and the price is already sky-high.

Compared with famous horses, the difference is not half a star.

As for how these Arab women came from, it is not enough for outsiders, the smuggling channels of Humen mercenaries in the Arabian Peninsula have always existed, which is not only the local tribe as collateral for the payment, but also the Humen mercenaries saw the weak local tribe and had evil thoughts, and plundered the spoils after a big fight.

Anyway, don't think of the mercenary profession as a noble one, human trafficking has always been a lucrative business.

Over the years, Humen mercenaries have trafficked tens of thousands of Arab women to Australia, involving millions of pounds, otherwise where would they be so rich?

The marine fishing and seafood processing industry is a legitimate business, as are ranches and plantations, and behind the dark business of human trafficking and smuggling lies the real reason for the rapid rise of Somali's major cities and towns.

In the early days of capitalist development, every penny was full of dirt and blood and tears, and this is the clearest example of this, and the development of Somalia is no exception, which is also based on oppression and exploitation.

At this time

A strong man with a fierce expression strode over, came to Viscount Li Yong's side, and saluted with his fists, and said; "Sir, the news has just come from the Seven Mile Camp that a Chinese plantation on the border has been attacked, resulting in the death of 6 Chinese immigrants and two Italian carpenters, more than 20 injuries, and dozens of black slave laborers and a large amount of property, agricultural tools, horses, and the loss is estimated at more than 2,700 pounds.

"What...... Black Wind, do you know who did it? Viscount Li Yong's eyes showed a terrifying light, staring at the mercenary leader named Hei Feng in front of him.

"According to the news from the Seven Mile Camp, more than 30 black indigenous horse bandits committed this case, and I estimate that it was a good thing done by the Duke of Enfield, and it is basically the same."

"He's looking for ...... death"

Viscount Li Yong's voice roared in a low voice, although he was already enraged.

The Duke of Enfield was one of the three major tribal chieftains in Eritrea, and the dukedom was given by the Ethiopian Emperor Menelik II, modeled after Western practice, and was in fact a black indigenous chieftain.

The Enfield tribe is a large local tribe with a population of about 40,000 people, as many as 6,000 tribal warriors and a cavalry team of 420 people, and the level of equipment is good.

Since the region was the frontier of North Africa in contact with Europe, not far from Egypt, the Enfield tribal warriors were not primitive versions naked in bark, but reinforced tribal warriors dressed in traditional white robes, armed with shields and iron swords and spears, and armed with nearly 500 muskets, many of which came from captured trophies from the Italian army.

After the victory of the Ethiopian kingdom in the war, the Anfield tribe also benefited from many benefits, and these muskets were one of them.

The Duke of Enfield, an ambitious African tribal chief in his 30s, was quite interested in the vast tracts of fertile land occupied by the Humen mercenaries, so he had enough motivation to make a move and cause trouble for the Humen.

More than 30 cavalry is not a big deal that anyone can come up with, and only the three major tribes in Eritrea have such advanced equipment, such as the wandering horse bandits, just listen to it as a joke.

This is not Australia itself, but the backward and barren Eritrean plateau, where do so many roving horse bandits equipped with horses come from?

If you don't rely on the strong tribal strength, you will have to starve to death, let alone feed expensive war horses, and it is impossible to think about it with your toes.

Seeing that Viscount Li Yong was angry, a trace of eagerness flashed in the eyes of the mountain wind, and he said respectfully with his hands in fists; "Sir, Guo Shanfeng is willing to lead his men and horses to give them a lesson that will never be forgotten, at least 200 will be hanged, so that they will never dare to violate the boundary, I beg my lord to give me this opportunity."

"Hmm, you want to go?"

"Yes, sir, there are more than 60 good brothers who dare to fight under the mountain wind, and it is a drizzle to solve these, I will definitely fight a beautiful battle for you, and I will never dare to live up to your expectations."

Viscount Li Yong glanced at the mountain wind meaningfully, he knew that mercenaries have always been unprofitable, and no one has taken the responsibility of fighting on their own shoulders, just for the sake of righteousness and blood, it will kill people.

Guo Feng did this just for the sake of the noble title in his hands.

Viscount Li Yong signed an employment agreement with the Ethiopian emperor, and gathered more than 2,000 people out of his own pocket to fight the Italians, so as to obtain a reward of nearly 40,000 square kilometers of land, which was presented to His Majesty the King, and obtained the hereditary viscount title and a large fief fief.

He had two fiefdoms, one on the outskirts of Humen, which was a fertile pasture with an area of more than 10,000 acres, and the Viscount Castle was built here as his base camp.

In order to reward his merits, His Majesty the King set aside a 200,000-acre fief on the newly acquired 40,000 square kilometers of land, which is not far from the outermost town of Qiliying.

Therefore, Duke Enfield's rash action directly touched the murderous intent in Viscount Li Yong's heart, and he was ready to give him a profound lesson in blood.

His Majesty's rich reward did not stop at the two fiefdoms, but also had three baron life nobles and 10 baron life nobles for life, which were reserved for Viscount Li Yong to reward his subordinates.

As long as Viscount Li Yong applied, these noble titles would be approved.

This is only a lifelong nobleman, there is no family crest, there is no fiefdom, and the title of nobility will not be passed down from generation to generation, but it is also precious, and it is the only ticket to enter the upper aristocratic circle society.

After the war with the Italians, Viscount Li Yong applied for two barons and seven baronial nobles, mainly used to reward his own hardcore subordinates who spent money and contributed their efforts, two barons were titled, one was given to the old wolf in charge of the armed team of the smuggling business, known as Sir Wolf, and the other was given to the "Blood Yama" in charge of the mercenary business, known as Sir Blood.

The second-level subordinate baron titles were also rewarded to the henchmen of the team, and Black Wind was one of them.

As for the dozens of other mercenary leaders who participated in the war in North Africa, they have no part in it.

The title of aristocracy is not blown by the wind, since it collects money to do things, then there is no love to say, the "king of mercenaries" is not a good old man, and good things will not be easily allowed if they are tightly held in their hands.

In this way, the remaining hot aristocratic titles have become the goals pursued by the leaders of Humen and Xi'an mercenaries, and there is no one.

As long as the lord greets him, these mercenary leaders will bring people to fight with guns at their own expense, and they will not mention any money at all, which is the reason.

Viscount Li Yong glanced at the mountain wind coldly, and said in a cold tone; "Okay, as long as you do it beautifully, I won't be stingy with a baron nobleman, but I want the heads of 100 black cavalry, and the lives of no less than 700 tribal warriors, if you can do this, go to the Viscount Castle to receive the reward!"

Whoever harms one person will pay tenfold with his blood.

Viscount Li Yong did leave such cruel words, but this was only the beginning, but for malicious offenses, it was a hundred times more to eliminate the evil spirit in his heart.

"Obey the orders of the lord, and the mountain wind will definitely live up to expectations." There was no room for bargaining in the mountain wind, so he could only respond with a somewhat bitter fist.

He planned to go back and gather some more men, at least to expand the team to about 100 men, and carry plenty of ammunition and food to operate, which would be a rather difficult battle.

Because the Enfield tribal warriors will not stand there to kill you, and it is impossible for these more than 100 mercenaries to kill the lair of the other tribe, after all, the Enfield tribe also has more than 500 muskets, and more than 1,700 elite samurai have participated in the war against Italy, which is not a complete outcrop.

When the bullets hit, people and horses can't bear it, and the wise man can't do it.

This forms a paradox, because the tribal cavalry is the elite of the elite, and the tribe of tens of thousands of people has more than 400 cavalry, and it is not easy to lead out and eliminate 100 cavalry.

If you don't do well, the mercenary team will have casualties, and you will have to pay a large amount of pension out of your own pocket.

Well, it's worth it all for the sake of a noble title.

If you want to take advantage of Viscount Li Yong, how many heads do you have to touch on your neck?

After getting the promise of the mountain wind, he immediately left in a hurry, he wanted to go back and quickly pull up the team to go out, looking for opportunities in the lofty mountains and mountains of the plateau, this time it is estimated that he will not be able to come back in a month or two, and the preparation work is indispensable.

"Sir, if this guy does it, will he really give him a noble title from a baron?" Hei Feng looked at his departing back with some dissatisfaction and blurted out.

"If you can do it, you won't be stingy with a noble title, but ......" Viscount Li Yong continued with a cruel sneer on the corner of his mouth; If he dies in battle, then all Hugh mentions, the title of the empire is not for the dead, and there is no talk of transfer, so I can only say sorry. ”

"I see, it's still the lord who is smart." Black Wind slapped a sycophant.

"Well, don't be idle, I think the defense of the Qiliying area is going to be on the agenda, otherwise it will always make people panic like this, who else wants to go to immigration and colony?" Viscount Li Yong thought about it for a moment, and then commanded categorically; "You go to Xi'an to order 1,000 tons of barbed wire, which will be laid at the junction of Qiliying in the future, and build several wooden castles, each of which must garrison at least 30 armed soldiers, and open up the junction of the two sides as a no-man's land, any enter and kill without mercy, I need three barons to guard the border, each of them will give 10,000 acres of land, you can discuss who to go to, anyway, this lord is not a hungry soldier."

"Knowing the sir, let's go back and discuss it, and then report the results to the sir."

"Well, let's go get to work."

Viscount Li Yong waved his hand to send the black wind away, and then looked at the empty Red Sea for a moment, his eyes showing intoxication.

He couldn't get enough of this beautiful and rich sea.

At the junction of the two sides, which is more than 100 kilometers long in the Qiliying area, it is the most economical way to separate it with barbed wire, and the effect is relatively good, which can not only block the entry of black natives, but also block the herd of wild beasts.

For example, wild elephants, wild boars and wild dogs, as well as other wild animals that destroy fields, are better prevented.

Barbed wire is widely used in Australia, and the price of about 20 gold oceans is about one ton, and it costs 35 gold oceans to transport it to Somali State, and 1,000 tons is 35,000 gold oceans, which is about 17,500 pounds, which is a big expense.

But the wealthy Viscount Humen didn't care, of the 27 pure-blooded horses he sent on the ship this time, ten of them were given to the royal family Ma Wan as stallions, two were given to the eldest brother Brigadier General Lei Xiaopeng, and the remaining fifteen horses were sold.

If you can solve it with money, then it's not a problem, Viscount Humen is such a dick!
