Chapter 231 Shanghai brothel
When Angel heard this, he was overjoyed and the opportunity to make a fortune came. The Qing Ocean Trade Fleet was not an ordinary merchant fleet. It mainly sold goods such as cotton, raw silk, and silk. This is well known. He said happily: "Governor General, the Imperial Fleet has 42 large and large warships, and it will never allow a merchant ship to escape."
"You should know what the consequences of the leak are. I hope I won't disappoint me again this time." Duke Mairoting said expressionlessly: "If you are not sure, please withdraw immediately. Manila cannot be without cotton cloth and raw silk." [.]
"Dear, Governor." Angel stood up and saluted a beautiful military salute.
When Angel left, Mairotin walked to the window and looked at the beautiful scenery of Manila. If this city was not a physiological person, it would be unimaginable, but these physiological persons in Manila also made him very sad.
He had never understood why those physiological people were not afraid of killing. The empire ruled on this land for only more than 120 years, and had carried out four or five massacres on physiological people. But these physiological people always recovered quickly. They were truly an indomitable and tenacious nation.
In order to maintain the dominance of the empire, the Governor of the Heshitao tries all means to force them to change their religious beliefs, develop the Kappa Dan system, use physiognomy to manage physiognomy, provoke the relationship between local indigenous people, and encourage intermarriage between physiognomy and indigenous people, but the effect seems to be very small.
It has been so peaceful for many years that a physiological person has secretly intervened and conspired to rebel, which really made him exhausted.
Captain Ferlando, who was following behind the Qing Dynasty Ocean Trade Fleet, soon discovered a large amount of goods floating on the sea. He was shocked. These merchants were really decisive and actually threw away all the goods to speed up his escape. He was heartbroken while being very worried.
Without cargo, the speed of the fleet will be greatly improved. If the fleet behind wants to catch up, it will take more time. Looking at the goods floating in the sea, Ferlando not only secretly cursed himself, but these damn physiological people actually threw the silver into the sea.
The sky gradually darkened. On the Pu Ling5 treasure ship, Zheng Qingyuan and Wang Tongxu stood on the back deck, looking at the dark sea surface, silently. After a while, Zheng Qingyuan said: "I am not familiar with sailing on the sea, but the other party only has three ships following us. Let's change the channel, can't we get rid of them?"
Wang Tongxu stomped his feet and smiled and said, "It's useless. We don't have enough supplies. This is common sense. The other party is very clear about this. If the supply is sufficient and the three-way channel can be changed, we can easily get rid of them. However, if we don't have enough supplies, we dare not change the route easily.
There are two ways to live in front of us. One is to go north and look for port supplies along Luzon Island. The other is to return along the main channel. On the way, we encountered a fleet and obtained supplies.
If we go north to find port supplies along Luzon Island, we will not have the chance to live. The other party is much faster than ours and we will not be able to escape anyway. It is the peak season for sea trade. If we return along the main channel, we will have much greater chances."
"What if we divide our troops into two groups or three groups?" Zheng Qingyuan asked unwillingly.
"The third route is definitely not possible." Wang Tongxu explained patiently: "Twenty fleets of large scale sail in the South China Sea, which is the meat sent to the pirates' mouths. If the troops are divided into two routes, the other party will naturally chase them in two routes, and there is no chance."
After hearing these words, Zheng Qingyuan couldn't help but feel very depressed, "Is there no way to wait for the opponent's reinforcements to come up and eat us?"
"That's not necessarily." Wang Tongxu smiled on his face, "As long as the other party is afraid of the enemy, we still have a chance?"
The next day, as soon as the sky was dawn, Captain Ferlando went to the deck to observe with a telescope. After only a moment of looking, his face turned pale. He immediately heard him roar, "Who was on duty last night? Why did the other party's ships have been reduced by ten, where did those ten ships go? Can anyone tell me what's going on?"
The lieutenant on duty ran over quickly, raised his telescope and looked carefully, and a layer of sweat immediately emerged from his forehead. He said, "Last night, I didn't find any ships redirecting. Ten ships redirecting will not be able to notice it."
"Will the stupid pig turn off the lights and turn on the flight?" Ferlando cursed in anger, "You can't search quickly."
The moldy lieutenant responded and hurriedly ran away and searched around with a telescope.
I searched carefully around and still had nothing.
After hearing the news, Ferlando was anxiously circling on the deck. The other party must have made a flight in the middle of the night. Now it is at least 40 or 50 nautical miles away. Ten ships are not small targets. They are Annan to the west, which is relatively long and there is no route. The possibility is zero. They can only go north or south?
Send two ships to search one south and one north? Ferlando thought for a moment and gave up, leaving only his own ship to follow. The other party slightly changed the channel, and the fleet behind him could not find them. Besides, it was already forty or fifty nautical miles away, and the vast sea, how could he find it?
Brigadier General Angel led the main force of the fleet to catch up with the trade fleet on the morning of the third day. Ferlando gritted his teeth and took Angel's flagship and reported carefully: "Report to the general, there were ten ships on the other side who were on the night before, and they were not sure where they were going."
"I don't know where to go?" Angel immediately frowned, "Captain, let me know, what is going on?"
Ferrando said with his scalp: "The night before yesterday, the other party took the lights to turn off the flight, but the soldiers on duty did not find it."
"It's really good, Captain." Angel sneered: "You really give the navy a face."
Ferlando felt a little nervous, looked at Angel, who was smiling but not smiling, and hurriedly reported: "Report to the general, the other side's fleet, tossed all the goods on the ship into the sea the day before yesterday."
When Angel heard this, he browned, then waved his hand impatiently and drove Ferlando out.
It is neither good nor guaranteed not to disclose the information. Why bother to do anything? Angel hesitated and ordered his return.
Since the Spanish fleet was chasing, everyone in the Qing Dynasty trade fleet had been watching each other's actions nervously. Seeing that they began to turn back, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and a low cheer immediately sounded on the ship.
Zheng Qingyuan said to Wang Tongxu with great admiration: "The Wang Dong family is really a talented person. He even sank ten ships to capture the effect of suing the enemy."
Wang Tongxu smiled and said, "It's too early to be happy now, and our supply problem has not been solved."
Since the cotton cloth and raw silk specialty, and the designated Shanghai Port as the only export and trading port, Shanghai's prosperity has been growing day by day. February is the peak season for sea trade. The Wu ships in the South and Guangdong ships, the Sanbu Xiang ships in Fujian, the Red Head ships in Zhejiang, the Tan ships in Shandong and Zhili, the river ships in various parts of the Yangtze River, and the local sand ships will gather on the Huangpu River. From south and north to north, Shanghai Port is moored with dense ships of large and large, which is spectacular.
It was the first time for the Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang to come to Shanghai. Although he had heard about the prosperity of Shanghai for a long time, he was amazed when he saw the ships anchored on both sides of the shore. "I heard that Shanghai is prosperous and prosperous. When I saw it today, it is worthy of its reputation. Even Jiangning City is not the case."
"In less than a few years, Shanghai will leave Jiangning behind." Yinzhen smiled and said, "This is just the beginning. In a few years, Shanghai will become a famous port. Since the Thirteenth Brother stays in Shanghai, don't miss the opportunity to make money."
"Haha, what money do I want to make?" Yinxiang laughed and said, "With you, the big financial owner, am I still worried about not having money? Let's go and go to the streets to stroll."
When Dachun heard this, he immediately said frowningly: "Thirteenth Master, the streets and alleys of Shanghai are crowded, and the two masters are all dressed in casual clothes. This protection is really difficult to deal with."
"Look, it's hard for you." Yinxiang smiled and said, "This is your master's territory. You can't do whatever you want when you go out on the streets. You should be the end of your guard."
Dachun couldn't help feeling embarrassed when he heard this. He glanced at Luo Jing standing in the outer circle. Luo Jing nodded with a smile. Dachun couldn't help but be happy and smiled with a saliva: "Thirteenth Master said, I really mean that I have no shame to see people. The master is so happy that I can show you the route first, so that I can arrange the staff."
Yinzhen glanced at Yinxiang and smiled and said, "Shanghai does not have Qinhuai River, so go to the Foreign Street to take a look. I heard that many new guild halls have been built this year."
When Yinzhen heard that he was secretly mocking him for shopping in brothels, Yinxiang didn't think so. He smiled and said, "If you don't have a romantic young man, Shanghai is so prosperous, there will definitely be a famous place for love in the future."
Yinzhen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. This is the truth. In this era, as a world-famous metropolis, how can Shanghai have no place for romantic affairs? This requires planning in advance. In a second thought, he thought of Li Wei, looked around, and waved to Li Wei over.
"Master, what are your instructions?" Li Wei quickly walked over and bowed.
Yinzhen smiled and said, "You Thirteenth Master has always been elegant and has everything in Shanghai, but you don't have a famous place of elegance and love. You and Thirteenth Master will work together to choose a location to create a place with Shanghai-style elegance and love."
This was a chance to show his face. Li Wei was excited and bowed and said, "I would like to tell you clearly what Shanghai characteristics are?"
This kid is a talented person, and he asked the point as soon as he asked. Yinzhen glanced at Li Wei with great appreciation, and then pondered: "The eight great hutongs in the capital, the Qinhuai River in Jiangning, the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou, and the Huamanlou in Suzhou are all unique. Shanghai will gather merchants and wealth from all countries in the world, and naturally it must also gather beauties in the world."
Li Wei couldn't help but be shocked. The Fourteenth Master wanted to set up the largest and most magnificent brothel in the world? He couldn't help but feel troubled: "Go back to the master, it will cost a lot of money."
"Think of a solution for yourself." Yinzhen smiled and said, "If the master pays the money, you still need to do it?"
