Zhao Teng was a little sad when he heard this! Many things in his home have been used for a long time and he is reluctant to throw them away. As the saying goes, a broken home is worth a thousand dollars! But when he thought about the Han people's place, they were extremely wealthy. I don't think I'll be lacking anything from him. Besides, I have strength. When the time comes to farm seriously, you can always buy back the things you have thrown away. Thinking of this, he took his wife and daughter and rushed to the dock to board the ship.
By noon, the fleet was all set up, and even the Japanese had all boarded the ship. Liu Guangting then selected some young women among the Japanese to take on board. This is naturally done by robbing. Those Japanese people were reluctant to leave but had no choice but to cry and watch their families being taken away.
Amidst the deafening cries, the fleet sailed south. Less than two hours later, the Shimazu family's vanguard troops rushed back! But there is no fleet on the vast sea! Shimazu Yoshihisa can only be furious! But he was also very fortunate that these Ming troops only looted and did not set fire! If the territory or even the castle tower is burned down, then the Shimazu family will be destroyed!
However, the fleet did not go directly south. When they were sure that there was no one at sea and no land could be seen, the fleet turned around again and headed north, heading straight for Nagasaki!
This time we went to Nagasaki not to plunder, but to sell some things on the ship. For example, apart from leaving some of the silk, cloth and grain to be sent to Taiwan for personal use, the rest is backlogged in the treasury. It would be better to sell it locally in Nagasaki.
In particular, they also robbed many weapons and armors. These things were different from those used by the Wu'an Army. Taking them back would be destroyed. It was better to sell them directly in Nagasaki. Moreover, Liu Haojia had already sent a ship to Nagasaki to contact those big merchants before the naval battle began. Let them prepare the funds and goods in advance and deliver them as soon as possible after the fleet arrives.
Liu Haojia was in such a hurry because he wanted to make a time difference. Anyway, about his attack on Kagoshima. Only those who go to the Shimazu family will know. And relying on the speed of information transmission at this time, by the time the news reached Nagasaki, he had already sailed south.
Moreover, the big businessmen he contacted all had famous backgrounds, and were not afraid of being the boss. Therefore, if they eat those useful and war-fighting goods at low prices, they will be rewarded by their masters, so Liu Haojia is not worried about how to get rid of the goods.
By the time the fleet approaches the long term, the fleet is split into two. The navy protected some pirate ships and set up a cordon on the sea near North Korea, preparing to make some extra money.
This time the cargo was loaded at the right time. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the navy, nothing was placed on the navy's ship at all. This is a method that has been clearly implemented by both Eastern and Western navies since ancient times. If a warship is loaded with too much cargo and cannot be transported properly, it will be a living target, let alone a war.
In this way, they stayed at sea for another five days, during which they also stopped two Japanese merchant ships heading to Korea. When the unlucky merchant ship saw that it was being hunted by the fleet, it naturally knew that it was absolutely unlucky, so it had no choice but to lower its sails and surrender honestly, thus avoiding the risk of death.
But naturally all the ships and cargo belonged to the navy. The navy will temporarily detain the people and wait until I leave to give them a few small boats for them to row back. Anyway, this is not far from the coast of Japan. If they die, they will be considered unlucky!
Just at noon on the sixth day, the lookout said that a fleet was approaching. It seems that it should be Dalongtou's fleet. Censor Liu Haojia ordered the fleet to gather.
Before all the fleets could gather together, the fleet from far away was already approaching, and it turned out to be Liu Guangting's team. When the two people's flagships met, Liu Guangting led people to jump over the boat to pay homage. Then he stood up and said loudly: "Master Hou, I really made a fortune this time!"
Liu Haojia smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's talk first in the cabin."
After he took Liu Guangting and others into the cabin, he told Liu Haojia in detail about the transaction experience. In fact, the whole process was very simple and there were no accidents.
Liu Guangting's men often went to Japan, so they naturally knew which big names were behind the big merchants, so after finding them, they directly told them that there was a large amount of looted goods to be sold, and they could be discounted.
Upon hearing the news, the big businessmen were shocked, and then became extremely excited. Because they themselves bear the heavy responsibility of raising military supplies for the big names behind them. Now I can get a batch of goods at a low price,
You will definitely be rewarded by the daimyo, and you can also help others in the middle. It can be said to be the best of both worlds.
Therefore, these big businessmen have become active. Start preparing money and supplies. As Japan's external port, Nagasaki naturally has a large inventory. With the means of these big merchants, it is not difficult at all to raise money and goods.
At the appointed time, everyone met on a desert island off Nagasaki. Liu Guangting generously asked them to send people on board to inventory the goods. When the merchants saw the goods, they knew they had been robbed at this time, because the blood stains on the weapons were not gone and the armor was still damaged.
When Liu Guangting saw this, he didn't hide anything. He directly said that the goods were obtained by plundering Kagoshima. After all, these businessmen are not stupid. They can tell whose armor it belongs to just by looking at its shape and color. Annoyingly, this did not deter them, Fang'er gave them an excuse to lower the price. .
After the two parties finished bargaining, the delivery began. There was only one small problem. The big merchants did not expect that there would be so many goods, so they did not prepare enough money and goods, so they had to send people back to raise goods again.
After the delivery started, they asked Liu Guangting what happened in detail, and they learned that this time in order to punish the Japanese, the Ming Dynasty allowed the prodigal to become pirates and plunder at sea. That's why the navy was sent to punish the Japanese country. It was just that the Shimazu family was unlucky enough to be chosen.
After knowing the news, these big merchants secretly planned to spread the news back as soon as possible so that each company could restrain their subordinates. Otherwise, it would be very bad if we attract the Ming army again!
Then they asked about the situation of the battle and learned that the Ming army had captured Kagoshima in one day. It was like moving the Shimadzu family's treasury and emptied it out, so they got out so many goods. This makes these big businessmen even more afraid.
At this time, some of their original thoughts of contacting the garrison and engaging in blackmail disappeared. Instead, they agreed to bribe Nagasaki and let him pretend not to see the transaction.
However, this transaction made these big merchants make a lot of money! Cloth, food, even weapons and armor, and even various raw materials were transported to the port ship by ship, and then gold, silver, copper, Japanese specialties, and other goods were loaded onto the pirate ships. Both parties were busy. Almost, it took a total of five days to complete the transaction.
