For Sun Shiyi.
The most direct motive for robbery is money!
This thousand-year wealth is not so easy to obtain.
The key now is to send people to India as soon as possible with the support of the Ming Dynasty. Sun Shiyi found out clearly that the total strength of the British in India is only a few thousand, and this one added a division, which is just over 10,000.
The main opponents were the Indian mercenaries under the British.
This is somewhat similar to the time when Mongolia and the Eight Banners were in power. Kublai Khan relied on the northern Han princes to conquer the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Eight Banners also relied on using the Han army to conquer the world.
Otherwise, how could they survive with their population size?
Sun Shiyi also knew that although he had more than 70,000 people, it was impossible to rely on these people to fight. This was his "capital".
How can the capital be used casually to fight?
That would definitely have to be done after showing the superiority in force and using 70,000 Han family heavenly troops to suppress the Indian natives.
In this regard, we can gain experience from the Eight Banners and Mongolia.
And letting Cai Lian take the lead in plundering the Indian coastline can also bring into play the expertise of these pirates who were originally active on the coast of South China.
Hiring pirates to serve as the navy of the coalition of Indian princes is the cheapest way.
And Sun Shiyi does not need to have a powerful ocean-going navy like the Ming Dynasty. What he needs is a navy that can be active in the coastal and inland waters of the Indian coast and the Ganges River Basin.
To conquer India, you cannot rely solely on recklessness.
I have more than 70,000 people, and every one of them is missing.
So you still have to rely on wisdom.
Therefore, Sun Shiyi is now thinking about how to use the powerful navy of the Ming Dynasty to annihilate the British maritime power as much as possible - he wants to ensure that the maritime connection between the coalition of princes in India and the Ming Dynasty cannot be cut off, so as not to be blocked by the British.
"A swaggering landing? I'm afraid the British are prepared." Tian Wenkang, the governor of the Strait Free City, said worriedly.
"What's the matter? The Indian coastline stretches for thousands of miles. How can the British set up defenses everywhere?" Zhu Xin took over the conversation and said.
"As long as the British main fleet can be annihilated, they can't land on the Indian coastline? The British can't defend it even if they bring all their armies over."
Sun Shiyi smiled when he heard this and said: "That's it, it's settled. I will go to Li Nei to mobilize in these days. In addition, Cai Qian needs to be facilitated by the Strait Governor's Mansion to recruit people at the Straits Governor's Mansion."
"My lord, you can rest assured." Although Luo Jiangong was actually not happy to see the existence of pirates with legal robbery certificates.
But since it was the certificate issued by Sun Shiyi, he couldn't control it.
According to etiquette, Sun Shiyi is a foreign vassal.
As long as it does not violate etiquette, one has the authority to summon troops and conduct conquests against foreign enemies.
"Get rich! Get rich! Come downstairs!"
On Batam Island.
A red light restaurant near the pier.
A voice like thunder roared.
Then there was a rush of footsteps.
The floor of this small restaurant seemed to have collapsed.
However, the shopkeepers, waiters, and the madam who brought girls to do business were all not surprised.
The floor slabs and beams here have been tested for a long time.
No matter how hard these rough guys go to sea, they will definitely not collapse.
It was Cai Qian who shouted this voice.
He had just returned from the headquarters of the Indian princes' coalition forces on Lionei Island.
After receiving the rank of colonel from Great Britain (the Great Ming Dynasty), I also received a stack of blank lieutenant colonels, majors, and a large number of lieutenant officers' certificates, all stamped with the Great Seal of the British Empire. All I had to do was write With his name, he is considered an upright officer of the British Navy.
Um.
Whether it is the Great Britain of the East or the Great Britain of the West.
This naval tradition seems to be the same.
They all developed from privateers.
In addition to bringing back these military ID cards.
He also received two big bird ships from Sun Shiyi, which were second-hand ships eliminated from the Ming Dynasty's Pearl River Inland Fleet.
Although it is said to be a second-hand ship, it is only two years old.
And it was built to the specifications of a warship.
It is much stronger than the Fu ship in Cai Qian's hand and the plywood ship captured from the British - both ships in his hand are merchant ships, and their sturdiness is still not as good as regular warships.
This trip alone made a lot of money.
In addition, he had already sold all the silk from the ship he robbed from the trade market in Batam.
After deducting various taxes, the dentist's commission, hotel accommodation and women's expenses.
There is still a net profit of more than 90,000 yuan.
"Is everyone here?"
Cai Qian glanced at the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.
Good guy.
It was packed, with more than two hundred pirates in total craning their necks and preparing to divide their accounts.
The ferocious aura emanating from a group of pirates made the timid ones leave, and those who dared to stand around and watch were all ferocious people.
Cai Qian looked at the crowd around him.
Grinning.
This ninety thousand Ming Yuan.
Thirty percent of it belongs to him, which is more than 27,000 Ming Yuan.
All the rest must be distributed among the brothers according to merit.
So much money flies out.
It would be a lie to say that I don't feel bad.
But Cai Qian has been traveling around the world for so many years, and has tricked and coaxed so many people out. No matter how they got on the boat in the end, most of them would be determined to follow him.
What does it rely on?
Nothing else.
It’s just two words: faith!
Especially when it comes to dividing money.
It must be fair, just and open.
What's more, this penny is also meant for advertising.
In the port of Batam.
I don’t know how many heroes are waiting to get on the boat.
My two big bird ships still need to employ thousands of people.
Four ships, more than 1,500 people.
Not only can you do business at sea.
You can go directly to India to land, break through the county seat and make a fortune.
And there is the tiger flag of Yingfan.
Then it will be easier to recruit people.
"I've already said the rules, and I won't say them a second time! Now start dividing the money!"
Cai Qian said loudly.
Of course, the Niu brothers are also waiting to share the accounts.
The cow who attracts wealth gets the lowest share.
What Niu Jinbao got was the inferior portion.
Split money for convenience.
Cai Qian assigned levels to the brothers below.
Those who have never killed anyone in hand-to-hand combat are the lowest.
Kill one person and level up.
Kill all five caps, and you'll be in charge once you reach the top.
10 yuan banknote.
A thick stack was placed in Niu Jinbao's hand.
There were a total of two hundred and thirty Ming Yuan and more than twenty banknotes.
The eyes of the heroes watching around him were almost red.
Some of the stewards who got a lot of money got as much as 700 or 800.
There are even thousands.
A total of more than 60,000 Ming Yuan was taken out and distributed to more than 200 pirates.
On average, each person has more than three hundred yuan.
Niu Zhaocai received one hundred Ming Yuan.
Although it is not as good as his brother Niu Jinbao, it is still a huge sum of money for him.
These blood-stained money put the brightest smiles on the two dark faces of the Niu brothers.
Before Cai Qian divided the money, he laughed loudly and said: "The money has been divided. Let's have a good time on vacation for eight days. After eight days, we will go to sea to do business! Ma Laizi, post the recruitment notice. This time we will What we want to do is a big business, and we need to recruit at least 1,200 people!"
The heroes around him who listened with their ears perked up took a breath of Aling Qi.
Recruiting 1,200 people?
Is this going to be a rebellion?
The pirates under Cai Lian's hand were wailing.
"Eight days? Why only eight days?"
"That's right, Cai Tou, let us all be happy for a few more months!"
The pirates spoke one after another.
This sea run is quite boring.
There are not many recreational activities at sea.
It's not like they have to take a few sheep on board like Westerners do. After all, no one is interested in sheep. This is too inhumane.
If you want to be humane, of course you have to find a woman to be humane.
What's the point of looking for a sheep?
Can I still eat it after becoming humane?
This is too disgusting.
Therefore, these pirates who have made at least one hundred Ming Yuan are enough to live happily on Batam Island for a long time.
Don't look at them for making money quickly.
In fact, most of them cannot save money.
After all, he was able to make money in this maritime adventure, and then save it, find a long-term business, and transform from a pirate into a capitalist with greed and blood flowing from every pore from head to toe.
This is no easy task.
And sailing on the sea, fighting and killing.
Maybe one day I will make enough money to spend my life.
Therefore, most pirates are drunk now.
And like the Niu brothers.
I want to save it when I have money.
There is a certain chance to stand out in this era - as long as they can survive the next one, the next one, and every robbery.
Cai Qian waved his hand angrily and took out a stack of military ID cards, as well as a Ying vassal flag with the sun and moon flag in the upper left corner and the word "英" in the middle.
"Eight days, just eight days this time! Did you see that I am now a colonel of Great Britain? It is impossible to be so comfortable as an official of Great Britain. Since I am an official of Great Britain, I have to listen to others. errand!"
"Gather here in eight days, and I will grant everyone official posts. If anyone doesn't come, don't follow me anymore!"
"Cai Tou, who is a great hero?"
someone asked.
Cai Qian glared: "Do you even need to ask? Of course I am the Yingfan of the Ming Dynasty. I am a Han Chinese, how can I be a dog for the Western Yi?"
Niu Zhaocai muttered in a low voice: "Isn't working for Sun Guogong not like being a dog?"
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, wouldn't we be looking for death?"
Cai Qian sneered and said: "To deal with the British main fleet? You don't take a piss to look after yourselves. Do you think the Ming Dynasty's Indian Ocean fleet is just a living wage?"
"Put your heart back in your stomach, this time we are going to make a fortune!"
“Go to the Indian coastline and grab the motherfucker!!”
"Anyone who wants to get rich should follow me!!"
"If you miss it, you will regret it for ten fucking 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 has come again.
Great, if they do this a few more times, they can buy hundreds of acres of land when they go back to their hometown in Changzhou and become big landowners!
Some thoughtful people around also stretched their necks.
Since returning from the Ming Dynasty.
Those heroes at the Pearl River Estuary and along the coast of Fujian were all depressed.
Now the southeast coast cannot be robbed.
seem
The coast of India is an opportunity to make a fortune!
