At this moment, the two most important Chinese business leaders in Bai Layi on the Coastal Avenue were already red-eyed. The European-style carriage with two horses was running wildly on the bumpy road. There were more than fifty guards around with loaded bullets on guard. Along the way, they had already Dispersed four waves of native monkeys who blocked the road.
Dead bodies were strewn all over the road, including those of indigenous monkeys and those of innocent fellow villagers. This sudden fleet suddenly broke the balance between the Chinese and the indigenous people. Those monkeys with severe pinkeye had long wanted to rob the Chinese of their wealth. , but they were suffering from no chance. Now that they finally had the chance, how could they not seize it.
The native monkeys are hateful, but the Russian fleet on the sea is a greater threat. Tian Lin opened the glass window and shouted hysterically, "Kill! Kill them all... Anyone who dares to block the road will be executed! You must return to Bailayi immediately! Speed up..."
Niu Jincai was as if he was having an epileptic fit at the moment. He kept mumbling to himself, "Why did these Russians take a detour to come here? How could they come here... What should I do now? Is Bai Layi hiding there?" What can I do with more than 12,000 ounces of gold? What can I do with this?"
The two of them really couldn't imagine how the situation could turn out like this. The best route for the Russian fleet to pass through the Lion City should be to go all the way north to resupply in Hong Kong or Annan and then go north again. But why did it take a detour and come to Borneo? ?
Even if you come to Borneo and choose to go north from Batangas, you can also go to the Taiwan Strait, but there is no need to stay here in Bo Ni, let alone Bai Layi to launch an attack?
"What we promote to the outside world is just a reclamation area. Who knew we had so much wealth? There must be an insider, there must be an insider..."
"That's enough!" Tian Lin yelled, "Brother Niu, what are you nagging about? Is this the time to think about these things? We have to go back to the city. We can't stop the attacks of so many enemies. Bai Layi is planning to attack us. There are only 5,000 garrison troops, trained by us ourselves, and we can’t stop them at all!”
"The only solution for now is to give up the frivolous wealth. If you still have silver and banknotes, don't even think about it, let alone food. The most important thing now is to sink the gold into the sea as soon as possible!"
"Those are the gold that the Prime Minister saved. The bond crisis in Jiangnan has become more and more serious. Without gold to calm the situation, the bonds will collapse! They must not be given to the Russians... We will pack them in boxes and sink them into the sea. We can hide as much as we can!"
Niu Jincai grabbed Tian Lin's hand and said, "Yes, yes... you are right, gold is the most important, you must protect it!"
Some things are just such a coincidence, and even Molière's information does not include any trace of these twelve thousand ounces of gold.
In the collection of intelligence from many parties, especially the detailed reports from British intelligence officers, there is a preliminary estimate of the total volume of Chinese trade in the Boni area.
The total trade volume of Bo Ni Country every quarter is about 50 million silver dollars, of which grain trade accounts for 60%, but 60% of this is bought by Chinese businessmen, and most of these transactions use Ryukyu banknotes.
At present, Ryukyu's banknotes have not yet established global credibility and are only circulated in a limited manner within Xiao Letian's sphere of influence. Foreigners will never agree with the so-called national credit. What they want is real money and silver.
You can use your Xiao Letian banknotes, but you must ensure that you can exchange them for silver in full at any time and at any time. This will result in a quarterly trade volume of 50 million, of which 40% must be traded in cash, which is a full 10 million. The sheer size of the silver dollar.
If Molière wanted the Russian fleet to believe Xiao Letian's information about the gold-hiding island, he had to make them believe that Xiao Letian was indeed a big financier in East Asia. At the meeting that night, Stefanski and others reached an agreement that Molière must prove that his intelligence was true and correct. Only then would the expeditionary force take risks.
Molière knew that these polar bears had evolved into Arctic foxes, and they were all masters who would not let go of hawks when they saw rabbits. So I have already prepared this appetizing dessert in Bo Ni Tun Reclamation Area that is worth eating.
Even if the reserves of 10 million taels of silver dollars are dispersed among various shops, there will be some losses during the robbery, but there will still be no problem in getting 60% of it, which is 6 million taels of silver dollars.
Six million silver dollars is certainly a huge amount of money for a single natural person, but for a country, especially a big country like Russia, it is actually nothing at all. To be honest, the 30 to 40 thousand people of the Russian Expeditionary Force spent more than this amount on food and drink all the way.
But Molière can't be fooled by his eloquent words. After all, there are only three to four thousand militiamen in the Bailayi area. Their weapons only have a small number of rifled guns, and the rest are muskets, and there are not many artillery pieces. Door.
As for the coastal defense artillery, they were cast during the Portuguese colonial era and were almost embroidered into iron knots. This is an undefended piece of fat meat. Six million in cash is just for nothing. You tell the Russians whether they can eat it or not.
In the end, Molière persuaded the top brass of the Russian Expeditionary Force. After passing through the Lion City, the fleet modified its route on the high seas and sailed directly to the northeast, heading straight for the Bodhi Kingdom in Borneo.
The attack was so smooth that the Russian soldiers who landed at the stall jumped into the sea and quickly rushed to the undefended beach. Looking at the seafood and tools scattered on the ground, they smiled and shouted, "This group of The cowards have fled...attack the city!"
More and more soldiers boarded the beach and began to look for their own teams to assemble. Not far away, there were rumbles of explosions and fireworks shooting into the sky.
"Speed, speed! If you get there late, they will steal all the money! Don't worry about the boat, hurry up and block the road, we will surround the city..."
At this moment, the voices of a dozen black monkeys suddenly jumped out from the rice fields in the south, shouting the word "surrender" in English and French from far away.
The Russian soldier subconsciously wanted to fire, but the officer raised his hand to stop him. "Wait, it seems they are not Chinese and are indigenous... maybe they can be used by us!"
"Surrender...lead the way...surrender...lead the way..." A group of monkeys knelt on the ground and repeated these two simple words back and forth. They didn't know who taught them the pronunciation of these two words. They sounded extremely weird.
But fortunately, the officer knew English and French and could guess the purpose of these monkeys. He pointed at Bai Layi in the distance, took out a gold coin and a silver coin from his pocket and said in English, "Gold... Silver...we need..."
This is easy to understand. The monkeys kowtowed and shouted, "Lead the way...we will lead the way..."
The Russian officer smiled and threw a few coins in his hand. "Very good, we will reward you when we get rich... Now boys, the harvest time has come, let's attack!"
