Text Chapter 160 The Heart-Warming Igik
Icjik has been really proud lately, and since he relied on the Charles family to become a thriving Yanhuang Trading Company, he has made up for his previous losses at once. Relying on the slave and commodity trade with the company, Iguk's business was no longer limited to the slave trade and blackmail. Just by selling the company's industrial products, it was enough to feed all his younger brothers, and even began to expand the number of younger brothers.
There was a constant demand for black slaves who could serve as the company's lowest laborers, but also as a garrison in times of emergency. The point is that the price is not expensive, the requirements are not much, as long as you have a full meal and warm clothes, there is no abuse and sexual insults, you will obediently obey. The first four Shorens are fully guaranteed, and the latter one does not need to be guaranteed by Shoren, and no white or Indian will choose a black person of the opposite sex to be a partner.
Rather than allowing the enemy to acquire a huge number of black slaves and thus transform them into his own heritage, he should do his best to receive them. In just a few months, Igic sold more than 8,000 black slaves to Shorin. Igik now knows the benefits of having someone behind it. Seeing that the Charles family directly betrayed Britain and threw themselves directly into the arms of the company, Igsick also moved his mind. He travels to Sunset Town, which is run by Alger, to meet with Alger, who is the mayor of the town.
said that he was a mayor, but Igsick felt that even if he was to exchange a mayor of a British colony, he would not do it. Sunset Town, the center of heavy industry selected by Shawlin. Sunset Town is located halfway between Victory Town and Startup Town, and its location is also good, so it will not be easily attacked by enemies, and it is the best heavy industry factory to build the backbone of the country. Because Alger is Shoreling's father-in-law, he also took the initiative to betray Britain and isolate himself from white people, which is trustworthy enough.
Alger alone said that the Charles family is managed, and the ability is needless to say, unlike the eagle, Shawlin must be reused. The eagle also knows his flaws, so he naturally has nothing to say, but it seems that he was provoked by Alger and began to take the initiative to learn. Not to mention these, because of these factors, Alger became the mayor of Sunset Town. Xiao Lin did not have so many talents in his hands, let alone establish a party, so he canceled the establishment of the secretary of the town party committee, and the town mayor was the real leader.
Naturally, Xiao Lin was separated from the military and the government. The only armed forces that Alger could command were a hundred policemen in the police station and two hundred militias that had just been formed. Still, that's not much. His eldest son, Toth, is a brigade commander with 3,000 soldiers under his command, and even according to the weapon arrangement of the garrison, his combat effectiveness exceeds the previous 3,000 private soldiers. Alger is not a corrupt person, under Shawlin's high salary policy, a town mayor, even if he only relies on salaries, subsidies and bonuses, lives a lot better than a baron with real power.
Crucially, none of the Addams family was against him. Alger was only forty years old, and with the company's medical methods, there was no problem in living to be seventy years old. As long as he makes achievements, with his identity as Xiao Lin's father-in-law, his official position will definitely go all the way up. With this in mind, Igcik also wanted to learn from Alger. Now, it was clear to everyone that the British would not be able to wipe out the company unless more than 100,000 native regular troops landed. The company's rise has become unstoppable, and many people want to jump on this giant ship as soon as possible.
However, after thinking about it, Igcik really had nothing to do with it except to bring more black slaves to the company. You said that the underworld forces, but the company has been committed to eliminating, how dare he use these as capital. Even if they want to find out the news, there are also spy assassins trained for Sholin by the four Achilles Free Assassin Alliance, and they can only provide a few tools at most, and many people are not qualified to fight even the best.
So, he was not in a hurry and merged into the company. He wants to continue to lurk, bring more black slaves to the company, accumulate enough merits, wait for the right time, and then directly show the banner and rely on merit to sit in a high position in the company. And with his current strength, it will take a lot of time to accomplish this goal. The company's demand for black slaves is at least 2,000 at a time. The people of Ijik can only be transported twice a year, and there are only 2,000 people, which is not enough.
Even Boston's biggest slave boss had only five frigates that had been "decommissioned" from the army early and one cruiser with the same treatment. Of these six battleships, the most powerful weapons were three twelve-pounder guns, and the others were all six-pounder guns as the main force. After all, he only worked alone, not as good as the slave trading team organized by the state. With this amount of strength, it can only escort three transport ships. Even so, care must be taken not to provoke a large group of pirates.
Only by strengthening his strength did he have the confidence to expand the number of slaves. In terms of ships, companies that are now territorial and inland cannot help. However, in terms of weapons, who else dares to compare with the company in this era. Igic asked Alger to hand over his willingness to surrender and the reason for purchasing the weapons, as well as his own guarantees, and Sholin agreed to sell him weapons and equipment. It just so happened that there was a batch of Hall M1819 rifles and seventeen British heavy guns repaired by the company, to which Shawlin sold them all, and added some grenades and revolvers.
However, Xiao Lin also put forward a condition for him. He didn't want black slaves, but yellow slaves. Whether it is a Korean, a Dongying person, or even a Qing Dynasty person in this era, he needs it. As a Chinese, he knows best how powerful his people are. As long as it is properly guided, the power that the Huaxia people burst out is enough to make the whole world look sideways. The Koreans and Dongying people, on the other hand, were very obedient in this era, and as an agrarian race, the same farmland produced more than one-half times as much grain in their hands as the whites and Indians.
Seventeen heavy guns, the smallest of which was a nine-pounder gun. Thirteen twelve-pounder guns remained, and three eighteen-pounder guns. As soon as these guns were loaded, the strength of the six small battleships was more than a little stronger. And with Hall M1819 rifles, grenades, and revolvers, if there is a broadside battle, six ships can completely fight three at a time. This batch of weapons, Xiao Lin was half sold and half given, and Igik didn't spend much money at all. It just took a little thought to transport it back.
After equipping it, Izuk personally led the team to set off. Charlie's attention has not been on him recently, and his previous opponent has also been subdued by the company, and there is a danger for him to go out, but it is not big. Igcik trained his men directly on the ship according to the instructions given by the company, and did not ask them to become any disciplined regular army, but at least to fully understand the performance of the weapons in their hands. A month after going to sea, Ijik began to enter the eastern waters of the Pacific Ocean, and it is estimated that he should be close to the Korean Peninsula.
It's the first time Ijik has come here, and he is a little unsure, even with the 21st-century charts provided by Xiao Lin, he is afraid that something will happen to the fleet. After staring at it all night, and nothing happened, he went to sleep tiredly. He hadn't slept for long, when suddenly a loud alarm sounded on his cruiser Slave Emperor. This alarm system is the first time he has used it since he bought it from Xiao Lin and installed it.
No matter how tired he was, he braced his body and came to the bow of the boat. At this time, his henchman, the original captain of the ship, had already raised the bow of the ship to agree that it was the binoculars that Xiao Lin had sold to them for observation. It wasn't until Igic tapped him on the shoulder that he lowered his binoculars.
"Mensa, what's going on?"
"Boss, we found five Portuguese ships. β
"So what, as long as we don't provoke them, we should be fine. β
"Well, Boss, their sub-flag seems familiar. The same one I remember, was used by the slave trading team of the Portuguese profiteer George Ricardo, whom we beat out of Africa. β
"Oh, George, that's the guy with the fat head and big ears who blocked us once, right? It's really a narrow road, and it was five years ago since the last battle. I thought he was dead, but I didn't expect to get mixed up here. Is he here to cheat slaves? What's that called, oh, piggy. β
"Chances are, Boss, I found out that there were two merchant ships among them, most likely piglets. β
"Ahem, I'm just talking about this, and I can't talk nonsense in the future. The big boss doesn't know what's going on, and he has a very good impression of these yellow-skinned people. β
"Hey, whatever, as long as there's money to be made anyway. β
"That's right, give the order, get ready for battle, and close us before the enemy discovers us. β
"Yes!"
As early as 1517 to 1550, the Portuguese went to Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang to abduct Chinese laborers, and Portugal had a special relationship with South America (such as Brazil) in history, and it must be the first place to transport a large number of Chinese coolies. The Chinese have overcome obstacles in Central and South America, planted tea and cultivated fields, panned for gold and built roads, opened mines and rivers, shed blood and sweat, and worked with the local aborigines to open up a rich and beautiful South America.
Later, some of the territory was added to the United States (for example, a large part of the territory of Mexico was designated by the United States). A considerable number of Chinese laborers were also transferred to the United States and Canada and became permanent residents of North America. In his book "A Journey Around the World in 1871", the German SchΓΌbner Alexander determined that most of the immigrants from the western United States "moved from the South", and about 80,000 to 100,000 Chinese immigrants were in California alone.
The Portuguese opened five "Balakeng" in Macao (Portuguese for recruitment hall, insulting abducted Chinese as "piglets", so they are also called piglets) in Macao. Shawlin didn't know what was going on, but it probably wasn't much better.
