“Guys, it seems the Chinese are very knowledgeable!”
"It saves us the trouble!"
"Hahahaha, the Chinese are suitable for farming, they shouldn't go to sea!"
A group of adventurers from Europe breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the Chinese ship on the opposite side lowering its sails and looking like they were allowing themselves to be ravaged.
They know it too.
In the Indian Ocean, if you want to say the most honest merchant ships, they are really the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty.
These merchants from China rarely take the initiative to plunder at sea. They are all maritime merchants who do business honestly. In fact, the only ones who can organize ships to go to sea now are merchants from Liangjiang, except for the big merchants of the Thirteenth Bank of Guangzhou.
What these businessmen doing business in China believe in is to be friendly and make money, and not to cause trouble.
The character of this farming nation would not be praised on the ocean.
If it weren't for the deterrence of the Ming Empire's powerful navy.
Many countries along the way covet these Chinese merchant ships that come and go in the Indian Ocean.
And now, with the Governor's House in Calcutta issuing privateering licenses.
The Chinese merchant ships that have been active in the Indian Ocean in the past two years have finally been targeted.
"Keep an eye on this baby, don't let this little baby get away!"
John Klein held up his telescope and stared at the Chinese merchant ships in the distance.
It looks like a very common lucky boat.
A merchant ship with slow speed but large carrying capacity.
There seemed to be no gun ports on either side. There was an iron cannon lying across the deck, but there was no gunner around.
There were hands on the deck.
Counted a little.
There were probably more than thirty people.
"Everyone should be out. A big fortune ship like this probably only needs twenty or thirty sailors."
John Klein put down the telescope and said with a slightly relaxed expression.
The European adventurers who were on guard with their muskets also showed a relaxed look.
"The Chinese surrendered."
"I didn't expect it to be so easy."
"Such a big blessing ship, I'm afraid there's a lot of cargo in it!"
"I'm getting rich now!"
The tone of these white Europeans was very relaxed.
We can't blame them for not being vigilant enough.
in this era.
Europeans' military force has a great advantage when facing indigenous people in other places.
They encountered almost no strong resistance in Africa and America.
The only ones that suffer may be in Asia, but here in Asia it can also be attributed to the fact that the distance is too long and they are unable to project a truly powerful force.
And usually offshore too.
Like this on the ocean.
Europeans' self-confidence in military force is quite overwhelming.
not to mention...
The opponent is the Chinese, who have hardly demonstrated force in the Indian Ocean.
What else is there to worry about?
The greed and passion in the eyes of these Europeans couldn't be hidden at the thought of plundering a big fortune ship with little effort.
"Poor lambs, God has abandoned them."
Someone made the sign of the cross.
Because the requirement of the Governor's Office in Calcutta is to use "absolutely bloody" means to deter the Chinese from coming to this sea area.
What is an absolutely bloody method?
Of course, they tied people to sampans and let the Chinese float back to the Strait of Malacca along the ocean currents - there is an ocean current in the Indian Ocean that circles the Bay of Bengal and then flows into the Strait of Malacca.
So it is easy to enter the Strait of Malacca from the Indian Ocean, just follow the ocean current.
But it is not easy to get out of the Indian Ocean from the South China Sea.
It is necessary to use the wind power to continue island hopping on the islands in the Strait of Malacca.
It takes a lot of effort.
Imagine a scene where a large number of starved Chinese floated to the Strait of Malacca...
Do those Chinese businessmen who are as docile as sheep still dare to leave the Strait of Malacca?
...
"Be prepared! Damn Ma Laizi, aim at their cannons and throw them away!"
Cai Qian, who was hiding on the side of the ship, also had her heart pounding.
It was too risky to lower the sails, and the cannon wouldn't be able to escape if anything happened.
But who is doing business with no business in the vast ocean, who doesn't have his head stuck in his belt?
In fact.
Since the Ming Dynasty and Zheng Dynasty were overthrown by the Qing Dynasty.
After the Qing government shrank as a whole and implemented a strict maritime ban.
Piracy activities along the coasts of Guangdong and Fujian have not stopped.
Instead, it reached a new peak.
in history.
Cai Qian was the super pirate during the Jiaqing period.
Many Chinese pirates were hired as mercenaries by many feudal states in Southeast Asia, working hard to make money.
For example, in history, Vietnam fell into the division of North and South.
Ruan Phuc Anh in the north hired a large number of Chinese pirates to attack the Taishan Dynasty.
He was also called the "Big Boss of Southern Guangdong" by pirates seeking a living along the coasts of Guangdong and Fujian.
"Tou Cai, I'm watching!"
Staring out through the narrow gap in the ship's side was a bald, thin man.
"Damn...it seems a bit prickly..."
Cai Qian muttered.
The cannon under the cabin of the plywood ship in front has not been pushed out yet, but the muzzle of the gun can be seen as a black hole.
The caliber is large.
It appeared to be a naval gun firing a twenty-four-pounder.
If you had exchanged shots with the opponent before, it is very likely that your big fortune ship would not be able to withstand it first...
The Niu brothers were also lying on the side of the boat.
The guys in their hands have been upgraded.
From the cow tongue knife used to kill pigs, it became a thick-backed Gurkha machete.
It was captured from the Portuguese before.
It's less than three feet long even with the hilt.
But it is very thick, and it is a real sword used to cut people.
He also carried a flintlock gun on his back.
After some equipment upgrades.
Psychologically, the two of them have now basically completed the transformation from small landowners who went to sea to make money to pirates - on the previous trip, the two brothers earned almost 200 yuan in total.
Just one trip.
Earned the total salary of an average worker for ten years!
This goes to sea.
Sure enough, you can make a lot of money.
And that Mr. Cai is very trustworthy.
If you say you only take 30%, you really only take 30%.
Others are divided according to merit.
Niu Jinbao killed an enemy at close range, so he was awarded a "head reward". A total of more than 130 Ming Yuan was recorded in the account.
However, Niu Zhaocai was not as lucky as Niu Jinbao, so he only made more than 60 Ming Yuan.
But this is already quite a lot.
It was enough for the two brothers to marry several wives after returning to their hometown.
But after tasting this opportunity to make quick money.
Who can resist the excitement and temptation of making money instantly?
Now that the two of them had calmed down, the grenades were in the hands of a dozen of Cai Tou's most trusted subordinates.
They had unscrewed the cover and shortened the lead by more than half to prevent the grenade from being thrown back.
Then reinstall the pull-up ignition device.
Consider safety.
The cables and fuses of the Ming army's grenades are separated and are only installed when needed.
The British plywood boat was approaching, and the faces of the pirates on the deck with their hands raised showed expressions of fear at the right time.
"Something is wrong..."
David Klein frowned.
"What's wrong?"
"I always feel like their fear is feigned."
"Pretended?" John Klein frowned, "How can you tell? In my opinion, these Orientals all look the same..."
Just as the two were talking.
The distance between the two ships has reached more than twenty meters, and they are still approaching slowly.
"Everyone is on alert and ready to board the ship. We will first control the entire ship. Anyone who dares to resist..."
Just when David Klein was speaking loudly.
Whoosh!
A black shadow flew from the side of the Dafu ship on the opposite side, and was thrown in along the gun bunker. With a clang, it hit the gun barrel.
what is that?
Before the Klein brothers and the adventurers on the ship could react.
boom!
There was a loud bang.
The ship shook.
Then there was the wail coming from the gun cabin.
"It's a grenade! I was fooled 1"
"God, these Chinese are crazy!"
"Aren't they afraid of causing gunpowder to explode?"
The explosion of a group of grenades scared the white Europeans lying on the deck and shouted in horror.
be cheated!
These people are not sheep!
But a poisonous snake!
When they get up from the deck.
Then he saw the dense muzzles mounted on the side of the Dafu ship.
"Fire!"
Cai Qian shouted excitedly.
Hearing the sound, Niu Jinbao hurriedly raised his gun and aimed at a hundred people in front of him who had just climbed up from the deck and were hurriedly looking for his musket!
boom!
Such a close distance.
The three projectiles fired from the muzzle, one large and two small, hit the opponent's body.
Suddenly three blood holes appeared, and blood flowed out.
Killing again.
Niu Jinbao thought.
This time there was no vomiting sensation.
Maybe it was because he was shooting from a long distance with a musket, or maybe it was because his mentality changed after making more than a hundred yuan.
This time Niu Jinbao didn't think about whether he would be arrested by the government to pay for the murder.
But I am calculating how much money I can get this time...
A round of musketry came down.
There aren't many enemies standing on the deck.
Most people retreated to their cabins.
"Grenade!"
Cai Qian gritted his teeth and issued the order.
He saw it too.
This ship is no ordinary merchant ship.
It is very likely that he is a colleague who specializes in no-capital trading at sea.
Therefore, after suffering two rounds of attacks, he did not surrender, but just retreated into the cabin.
Whoosh whoosh!
A dozen grenades were thrown into the cabin.
A dense explosion accompanied by fire.
The entire medium-sized Galen ship shook suddenly.
This kind of grenade, which mainly kills by fragmentation, has a small charge.
Therefore, it is difficult for this explosion to cause a fire on the ship.
And the next moment there was an explosion in the cabin.
Cai Qian shouted and led a group of fierce Fujian pirates to join the gang.
"Damn it! Get up! We must use our swords to educate these barbaric orientals!"
David Klein was lying on the deck, shaken to pieces by the explosion. When he reacted again, he saw someone jumping on the deck.
He immediately drew out his sword and shouted as he rushed forward.
He was greeted by a whoosh of a dozen grenades.
"Grenade! Get down!"
David Klein suddenly jumped forward, and a violent explosion sounded not far from him.
Dodo dodo.
Right next to him on the cabin timber.
A few fragments rubbed against his scalp and were deeply embedded in the oak...
David Klein, who narrowly escaped death, breathed a huge sigh of relief, and then felt a heat in his crotch...
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed. If you want to read the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.
A single dormitory?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
The body and appearance have changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:? ? ?
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
Pet animal breeding base.
Intern pet breeder. The website will be closed soon. Download the Star Reading app to provide you with Qianlong: Qing Dynasty by Mr. Mu Mu Mu Ah? Where is my Qing Dynasty?
