Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 164

"what is it call?"

"The cow attracts wealth, and the cow makes treasure."

"Fortune and treasure! Good name, do you know what you're doing?"

"Go to Nanyang."

"Can you fire a gun?"

"meeting."

"Okay! Five yuan per month includes room and board, accept?"

The Zhaocaijinbao brothers looked at each other and hurriedly said: "Accept, accept."

Five Ming Yuan a month.

That is really a high salary.

It only costs two Ming Yuan to work as a coolie on a railway construction site.

"Okay, let's get on the boat. Remember, the name of the boat's bow is Cai. After boarding the boat, you can't walk around casually. Why do you want to do it!"

"I know, I know, we know the rules."

Brother Zhaocaijinbao said with a nod and bow while shouldering the burden.

Their capital has been exchanged for this load of raw silk.

In addition to being paid for helping with the work on the ship, the men who run the ship can also bring some extra goods to the sea together.

Of course.

This is about sacrificing your sleeping position.

However, there are two brothers in Zhaocaijinbao, so one bed can be vacated for goods, and the two brothers can squeeze another bed,

This trip to sea.

Wages come second.

The key is that this load of raw silk can make a lot of money.

Zhaocaijinbao has inquired clearly, and if all goes well, their load of raw silk can be sold when they arrive in Batam Island, at least five times the profit!

They also found a new big ship at the port.

Moreover, the owner of this ship seems to be very generous, paying more wages than other ships.

In addition, the boat is new. According to Zhaocaijinbao brothers, the newer the boat, the safer it is.

So ever.

The two were confused, so they boarded the pirate ship of the pirate leader Cai Qian.

Soon the boat went south.

On board the thief ship!
After going to sea.

The Niu brothers found out.
This brand new Dafu ship is not a serious merchant ship at all.

After the bow of the boat named Cai Qian went out to sea, he gave all the newly recruited people a lecture.

"I'm not afraid to tell everyone that I'm doing business with no capital, but it's not in a place that can be controlled by Daming's laws, but in the Indian Ocean!"

"I only take [-]% of the things I grab, and the rest will be distributed to everyone! If you are brave, follow me to make a fortune, if you are timid, you can leave now!"

How to leave?

In this vast sea, can you live without this ship?

The Zhaocaijinbao brothers stood next to each other, trembling all over.

This is a good business, run Nanyang.

How did you get on a pirate ship!

What can I do now!

With some apprehension.

This large ship went all the way south, and arrived in Batam about ten days later. After some supplies, it left the Indian Ocean through the Strait of Malacca.

After reaching the Indian Ocean.

Pirate Cai Qian and his pirates completely let themselves go.

The third day out of the Straits of Malacca.

Encountered a Portuguese armed merchant ship.

Cai Qian's Dafu ship was equipped with three-inch guns produced by the Lantau Gun Factory.

The cannon was five feet long.

The best yellow gunpowder is used as the propellant.

Very long range.

And in order to speed up the instantaneous ship speed of Fuchuan.

There are paddle slots on both sides.

The current Zhaocaijinbao brothers are in charge of paddling.

"Pad! Paddle quickly! Don't let them escape!"

"Fire! Fire! Hit their sails!"

Even from the oars in the cabin, Brother Zhao Cai Jin Bao could hear the yelling of the pirate leader Cai Qian on the bow.

boom!boom!boom!
The cannons sounded one after another.

"Hit! Hit!"

The crew cheered.

The wooden chips of the Portuguese merchant ship hit by the shells in the front were flying, and there were faint figures of panicked people coming and going in a hole hit by a solid shell.

Although the board of this Portuguese armed merchant ship is still thick.

But it couldn't stand the bombardment of the three-inch gun.

And although they also fired back.

But the range cannot be compared with the three-inch gun that Cai Qian spent a lot of money on.

The Portuguese merchant ship soon had its sails smashed and lost power.

"Aim at their gun bays!"

Cai Qian ordered loudly.

boom!
Another shot.

The shells passed through the bow as if unimpeded, and flew into the single-layer gun bay of this armed merchant ship. They swept across a group of gunners, and the gunners in the cabin wailed, and the smell of blood permeated the air. open.

Just now.

Another shell was shot in, and after hitting a cannon, a ricochet occurred, which quickly disrupted the cannon compartment.

I saw the cannon on the opposite side misfiring.

Cai Qian was so excited that she rubbed her hands together.

"Change the shotgun, lean up! Quick!"

"Stop firing any more guns, this is Lao Tzu's boat! It can't be smashed! Go up to the deck and shoot a round of shotguns, then go up to the deck for a hand-to-hand fight!"

Cai Qian looked at the deep-draft ship and shouted excitedly.

With such a deep draft, it must be fully loaded with cargo.

Get rich!
The Niu family brothers who were in charge of the oars couldn't help feeling hot at this time.

Actually.

Robbing, and being robbed, is part of life at sea in this era.

In addition, after boarding the thief ship, the Niu brothers also built their hearts along the way.

Anyway, this thief boat will get on if it doesn't.

It's better to fight hard, maybe you will make a fortune.

"fire!"

As the Dafu ship approached the Portuguese armed merchant ship.

The advantage of the tall hull of the Dafu Ship is revealed.

The condescending artillery poured a storm of metal onto the deck.

The entire deck was wailing.

"Muskets! Volleys of muskets!"

Clap clap clap!

The sound of dense musket firing emptied the deck again.

"Jump! Melee!!"

Cai Qian shouted, touched a rattan shield from his back, carried a large horizontal knife, and held a double-barreled short gun in his hand, and jumped down while swinging the rope.

The ferocious Chinese pirates yelled and launched a gang-jumping battle.

"Rush up! Quick!"

The two brothers of the Niu family each held a ox tongue knife and had no muskets, so they were driven away and put on the battlefield.

"If you want to be rich, you have to fight with your life!"

Brother Zhaocai Jinbao held the ox tongue knife in both hands, and at this point, there was no way out.

They gritted their teeth, roared and rushed forward.

A bloody hand-to-hand fight ensues.

Many white people rushed out from the cabin.

They had all kinds of weapons in their hands. Someone held a musket and fired a shot with a bang. A newcomer who jumped over with the brothers of the Niu family suddenly tilted his body and fell on the deck, bleeding.

Dead!

"Brother! If you want to be rich, you have to risk your life!"

Niu Jinbao's heart fluttered, and he rushed towards a white man holding his tongue knife.

The white man also screamed strangely and rushed towards Niu Jinbao.

The one-handed knife in his hand slashed left and right, the cold light was shining, and the blade was grinning.

When Niu Jinbao slashed forward, his face turned pale from fright, and his feet suddenly slipped.

Then I saw the knife in the white man's hand fixed in the air.

The ignorant Niu Jinbao didn't know what happened, he stood up instinctively, trying to pull out the beef tongue knife stuck in something.

It brought out a column of warm blood.

It was all sprayed on his face, and he subconsciously reached out to touch it.

Look down.

He stared in amazement at a corpse lying in front of him.

Killed someone? !
Seeing the dead man, Niu Jinbao, who had completed the transformation from a bankrupt landlord to a pirate, went blank.

Then, an extremely strong sense of nausea caused him to stagger and lie on the side of the boat, pouring vomit towards the sea.
kill.

Niu Jinbao, who wanted to get rich and marry a wife, never thought of it.

I couldn't even kill a pig before.

Now it's killing people.

This is bad.

If caught by the government, I'm afraid I will pay for my life.

The little landlord Niu Jinbao thought.

Just about to run away.

Deafening cheers were heard.

"Win! Win!"

"Hahahaha! It's silk! A boatload of silk!"

"Get rich! Get rich! Get rich!"

The cheers suddenly rose.

A boatload of silk?

Not raw silk?

How much is that?
It is estimated that there will be a lot of points, right?

According to Caitou's promise.

The two of them brothers can get at least two hundred Mingyuan, right?
Two hundred Ming Yuan.

How much land do I have to plant to earn?

To get rich.

Sure enough, I still want to do this kind of murder and arson business
"Cai Tou, the mast is broken, and there are some problems with the keel. It seems that this ship is useless."

One of Cai Qian's subordinates came to report.

"Why are you so careless? Hey!" Cai Qian was very sorry. Compared with the goods on board, a good merchant ship may be worth more.

But in the sea, artillery roared.

If you accidentally hit some key positions, it is normal for the entire ship to be scrapped.

"Fortunately, our cabin is big enough to move all the valuables in, and a torch will save these Bai Yi!"

With a big fire.

The waves of the Indian Ocean swallowed up all traces of the Great War.

Cai Qian's gang of pirates moved on.

It didn't take long.

A merchant ship with the Mi Zi flag appeared in front of it.

"Caitou, he's British!"

"British?" Cai Qian held up his binoculars to check.

"What a boat!"

What appeared in Cai Qian's eyes was a medium-sized Galen ship.

This is a very common cargo ship with a large load capacity and can also be used as a battleship.

"Caitou, the opposite side seems to be a little bit tricky, what should I do?"

The lucky boat under Cai's hands has thirty artillery positions, but only twenty cannons are installed—cannons are too expensive.

The Galen ship on the opposite side also seems to have more than 20 cannons, and the opponent's ship is bigger. If it is matched, it may not be easy to deal with.

"Caitou, the pirate flag is hoisted on the opposite side, which means...surrender without killing."

"Surrender and not kill? Damn, this is meeting a colleague!"

Cai Qian sneered.

Eyeballs rolled.

"Lower the sails and close the gun bay, I want to give this colleague a surprise."

"The other side looks very familiar!"

David Klein laughed.

"It's natural. Their ship type is a common lucky ship in China. It's not a warship at all. It's a disadvantage for our ship. It seems that these Chinese people know the rules."

"Go up and rob them of their goods, drive them into the boat, and take their boat!"

"God bless them, amen."

"David, God does not bless the heathen, they are dead!"

John Klein sneered.

"Lean up! Capture them!"

"They're coming!"

"be ready!"

Brother Zhaocaijinbao lay on the side of the boat, looking at the things in the hands of these pirates in horror.

That is
Is that a grenade?
This is ordnance!
