Chapter 168, the heroes of the East, go to the coast of India to make a fortune!
For Sun Shiyi.
The most direct motive for looting is money!
This thousand years of wealth is not so easy to obtain.
The key now is to take advantage of the support of the Ming Dynasty to send people to India as soon as possible, Sun Shiyi inquired clearly, the total strength of the British in India is only a few thousand, and this one division has been added, which is just over 10,000.
The main opponents were the Indian mercenaries under the command of the British.
This is a bit similar to when Mongolia and the Eight Banners were in the past, Kublai Khan relied on the northern Han Marquis to level the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Eight Banners also relied on the use of the Han army to win the world.
Otherwise, with their population, how can they fight it.
Sun Shiyi also knew that although he had more than 70,000 people under his command, it was impossible to rely on these people to fight, this was his "capital".
How can the capital be taken out casually and spelled?
Then you must use 70,000 Han heavenly soldiers to suppress the Indian natives to fight after showing the superiority of force.
In this regard, we can learn from the Eight Banners and Mongolia.
And letting Cai lead the raid on the Indian coastline can just give full play to the expertise of these pirates who were originally active on the coast of South China.
Hiring pirates as a navy for the Indian princes' alliance was the least costly.
And Sun Shiyi doesn't need to have a powerful ocean-going navy like the Ming Dynasty, what he needs is a near-shore and inland water division that can be active in the coastal areas of India and the Ganges River basin.
To attack India, it is not enough to rely on brute force alone.
There are more than 70,000 people in themselves, and one is less than one.
So it still depends on wisdom.
Therefore, Sun Shiyi is now thinking about how to use the powerful navy of the Ming Dynasty to annihilate the sea power of the British as much as possible - he wants to ensure that the naval connection between the princely alliance in India and the Ming Dynasty cannot be cut off, so as not to be blocked by the British.
"Swaggering landing? I'm afraid that the British will be prepared. Tian Wenkang, the governor of the Strait Free City, said worriedly.
"What's this, this Indian coastline stretches for thousands of miles, how can the British fortify everywhere?" Zhu Mian took over the conversation and said.
"As long as the main fleet of the British can be annihilated, where can it not land on the Indian coast? The British would not be able to defend themselves even if they pulled their entire army over. ”
Sun Shiyi smiled when he heard this: "That's it, it's decided." These days, I went to mobilize in the Strait, and in addition, Cai took charge of recruiting people in the Strait Governor's Mansion, and asked the Strait Governor's Mansion to make it convenient. ”
"Grandpa Guo can rest assured." Although Luo Jiangong was actually not very happy to see the existence of pirates with legal robbery certificates.
But since it was a certificate issued by Sun Shiyi, he couldn't care about it.
According to the ceremony, Sun Shiyi is a foreign vassal.
In the case of not violating the courtesy, it has the authority to gather troops and conduct conquests against foreign enemies.
"Rich! Get rich! Come downstairs! ”
Batam.
A red light restaurant near the pier.
A thunderous voice roared.
Then there was the sound of hurried footsteps.
The floor of this small restaurant seems to have been collapsed.
But the shopkeeper of the restaurant, the guy, and the bustard who brought the girl to do business are not surprised.
The floors and beams here are all time-tested.
No matter how these rough men who go to sea toss, they will definitely not collapse.
It was Cai Lian who roared out this voice.
He had just returned from the headquarters of the coalition of Indian princes on the island of Lone.
received the rank of colonel of the Great British (Ming Dynasty), and also brought back a stack of blank lieutenant colonels, majors, and a large number of captains' officer certificates, all stamped with the big seal of the British Domain, as long as the name is written, it is considered a dignified British Navy officer.
Well.
It doesn't matter if it's the Great Britain of the East or the Great Britain of the West.
The naval tradition seems to be the same.
They all grew from privateers
In addition to bringing back these military ID cards.
He also got two big bird boats from Sun Shiyi, which were second-hand ships eliminated by the Pearl River Inland River Fleet of the Ming Dynasty.
However, it is a second-hand ship, but the age of the ship is only two years.
And it was made to the specifications of a warship.
It was much stronger than the Fu ship in Cai's hand, and the plywood ship captured from the British, both of which were merchant ships, and they were still not as strong as regular warships.
This trip alone made a lot of money.
In addition, he had already sold all the silk of the ship he had stolen from the trade market in Batam.
Various taxes, commissions for tooth people, hotel accommodations, and women's expenses are deducted.
Now there is still a net profit of more than 90,000 yuan.
"You're all there, right?"
Cai Yan swept his eyes in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.
Boy.
It was full, and more than 200 pirates in total were all stretching their necks ready to divide the account.
The ferocious aura exuded by a group of pirates made the timid people leave, and those who dared to watch around were some fierce people.
Cai Lian looked at the crowd around him.
Grinning.
This is 90,000 Ming Yuan.
Thirty percent is his, that is, more than 27,000 Ming Yuan.
All the rest is to be distributed among the brothers according to merit.
So much money flew out.
To say that I am not distressed is, of course, false.
But Cai has been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he has deceived and coaxed so many people, and in the end, no matter how he got on the boat, most of them would follow him with an iron heart.
By what?
Nothing else.
It's the word faith!
Especially when it comes to splitting money.
That must be fair, just, and open.
What's more, this split money also has the meaning of advertising.
In this port of Batam.
I don't know how many heroes are waiting to get on the boat.
Why do you have to hire a thousand people for your two big bird boats.
Four ships, more than 1,500 people.
It's not just about trading at sea.
Go directly to India to land, and break the county town to make a big fish.
And there is the tiger flag of the British Domain.
It's easier to recruit people.
"I've said the rules, and I won't say it a second time! Start splitting the money now! ”
Cai Lian said loudly.
Of course, the Niu brothers are also waiting to divide the account.
The cow is the lowest share.
And Niu Jinbao got an inferior copy.
For the convenience of dividing the money.
Cai Lian divided the following brothers into ranks.
Those who have not killed in hand-to-hand combat are the lowest.
Kill one person and move up one level.
After killing the five caps, you will be in charge when you get to the top.
$10 banknotes.
A thick stack was placed in Niu Jinbao's hands.
There were a total of 230 Ming Yuan and more than 20 banknotes.
The eyes of the onlookers around him were red.
Some of the stewards who had a great deal were given seven or eight hundred.
There are thousands of them.
More than 60,000 yuan were taken out and distributed to more than 200 pirates.
On average, everyone has more than 300 yuan.
Niu Zhaocai received a hundred Ming yuan.
Although it is not as good as his brother Niu Jinbao, it is also a huge amount of money for him.
This blood-stained money made the two black faces of the Niu brothers show the brightest smiles.
Before Cai Lian divided it, he laughed loudly: "The money is divided, have fun for eight days off, and then go to sea to do business after eight days!" Ma Laizi, post the recruitment list, this time we have to do a big deal, at least 1,200 people must be recruited! ”
The heroes who listened with their ears pricked up around gasped.
Recruit 1,200 people?
Is this going to rebel?
And the pirates under Cai's hand are wailing.
"Eight days? Why is it only eight days? ”
"That's right, Cai Tou, let the big guy live happily for a month!"
The pirates spoke.
It's quite boring.
There is not much entertainment at sea.
They don't have to lead a few sheep on the ship like the Westerners, and then again, everyone is not interested in sheep, which is too inhumane.
If you want to be humane, of course, you must find a woman to be humane.
What's the matter with finding sheep?
Can you still eat it after humanity?
It's also disgusting.
So this pair of pirates who have earned at least 100 Ming Yuan is enough to spend a long time on Batam.
Don't look at them to make money quickly.
In fact, most of them can't save money.
After all, you can make money in this adventure at sea, and then save it again, find a business that can be run for a long time, and transform from a pirate to a capitalist with greed and blood flowing from head to toe.
This is not an easy task.
And sailing on the sea, fighting and killing.
Maybe one day there will be money to be made and life to spend
Therefore, the vast majority of pirates are drunk today.
And like the Niu brothers.
When you have money, you want to save it.
There is a certain chance that they will stand out in this era - if they can survive the next game, and the next game, and every plunder.
Cai Yan waved his hand angrily, took out a stack of military ID, and there was a sun and moon flag in the upper left corner, and in the middle was a British flag with the word "Ying".
"Eight days, this time it's eight days! See, Lao Tzu is now the colonel of Daying, and it is impossible to be so comfortable as someone else's official, since he is an official of Daying, he has to listen to others' orders! ”
"Eight days later, I gathered here, and Lao Tzu gave everyone an official. If you don't come, don't follow Lao Tzu in the future! ”
"Cai Tou, which Great Ying?"
Someone asked.
Cai Lian's eyes narrowed: "Do you still need to ask?" Of course, it is the Ying clan of the Ming Dynasty, how can Lao Tzu be a dignified Han man, how can he go to Xiyi as a dog? ”
Niu Zhaocai muttered in a low voice: "Isn't it a dog to sell your life to Sun Guogong?" ”
Niu Jinbao hurriedly covered Niu Zhaocai's mouth and shouted, "Cai Tou, who are we going to deal with this time?" ”
"Yes, yes, Cai Tou, we can't be betrayed, if we are asked to deal with the British Eastern United Fleet, won't we go to death?"
Cai Lian sneered: "Dealing with the main fleet of the United Kingdom? You don't pee on yourself, you eat dry rice when the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Ming Dynasty? ”
"Put your heart back in your stomach, this time we're going to get rich!"
"Go to the Indian coastline and rob the fuck!!"
"If you want to get rich, follow Lao Tzu!!"
"If you miss it, you'll regret it for ten lifetimes!"
The Niu brothers looked at each other.
The greed and eagerness in his eyes could not be concealed.
The opportunity to make a fortune is here again.
Great, grab a few more trips, go back to their hometown in Changzhou, they can buy hundreds of acres of land and become big landlords!
Some well-intentioned people around also stretched their necks.
Since the return of the Ming Dynasty.
Those heroes in the Pearl River estuary and along the coast of Fujian are all suffocated.
Now this southeast coast can not be robbed.
seem
The coast of India is an opportunity to make a fortune!
