Chapter 2142, Traveling Escorts in Continental Europe 1
"Delivery to the Principality of Bohemia under the Holy Roman Empire?"

Wang Xiyang looked at the delivery address and detailed cargo list provided by Gan Tian, ​​and a map of Europe quickly appeared in his mind, and he immediately said: "No problem, we will definitely deliver it on time."

"Thank you."

Gan Tian quickly expressed his thanks.

"This is what it should be. It should be our Escort Bureau thanking your bank for giving us business."

Wang Xiyang smiled back.

Nanyang Wang's Firm originated from Nanyang Province in Nanyang of the Ming Dynasty. When the Nanyang region was first incorporated into the territory of the Ming Empire, there were a lot of pirates in the Nanyang region, and there were also a large number of barbaric aborigines.

In addition, many small countries and island countries in the Nanyang region lacked awe of Ming Dynasty, and often robbed and blackmailed Ming businessmen, which gave birth to the rise of the bodyguard industry.

Mr. Wang, the founder of Nanyang Wang's Commercial Firm, with his martial arts skills, led a group of his disciples to establish this bodyguard bureau, and it has a history of more than [-] years.

Over the past [-] years, there have been many ups and downs. Along with the development and expansion of the Ming Empire and its external expansion, many adjustments have been made continuously.

From the Nanyang region to Tianzhu, Africa, Arabia, and then to Europe, Escort's business has spread all over the world, and gradually developed from a traditional Escort to a global logistics firm.

Fighting and killing have already slowly faded away, and it is rare to say that it is necessary to use a knife or a knife.

Because the whole world does not dare to offend the people of Ming Dynasty, their bodyguard agencies are rampant all over the world, and it is rare to meet a stunned youth. Even if they do, they can basically pass through with some tolls. They are all slick-faced people, this one does not hit the smiling face.

There is no more fighting and killing, and more is turning to the field of service and transportation. The field of logistics is a very promising field, especially with the global expansion and foreign trade of the Ming Empire, logistics and transportation on a global scale are An extremely large industry.

In the past, many commercial firms did their own transportation, because they were not at ease handing over their goods to others for transportation, but now Daming morning has slowly spawned a specialized logistics service firm, specializing in global logistics. logistics transportation.

And the first to transform into logistics and transportation are large and small bodyguard agencies.

Wang Xiyang got the bill of lading from Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., and hurriedly sent people to Tianjin Ocean Trading Co.'s warehouse to pick up the relevant goods.

Then, the order was submitted quickly, and the Escort Bureau also quickly matched the order based on the order received in hand, so as to maximize the benefits of this trip.

For big customers and big orders like Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., they are the favorite, because the quantity of goods transported at one time is often very large, and the unit price is a bit low, but if there are other distribution orders along the way, then They are all very profitable orders.

Naturally, priority was given to allocating resources for orders from major customers. In the afternoon of that day, several large cargo ships set off from Hong Kong, hoisting the dragon flag of Ming Dynasty and the flag of Nanyang Wang's Trading Company, and went northward along the English Channel, entering the Baltic Sea.

The journey went very smoothly. Although they encountered English, French, and Spanish warships patrolling the waters of the English Channel, these warships didn't care about the Ming's ships at all, let alone dared to make things difficult for them.

Now the ships of the Ming Dynasty are basically equipped with radio stations. Once something goes wrong, they can immediately contact the Ming Navy through the radio station and request the support of the Ming Navy.

Because of the emergence of wireless telegraphy, it also made it easier for Ming ships to sail at sea. Even if something happened, nearby ships could go to the rescue as soon as possible.

On the Western European side, the Ming Empire has long garrisoned a powerful Ming navy, which often patrols the English Channel to clean up pirates, protect Ming ships, and so on.

No one would foolishly provoke Daming people.

After arriving in the Baltic Sea, it also berthed at the port of Rostock in the Holy Roman Empire.

The port of Rostock is a very small fishing port with a small port and a small wharf, which has brought certain troubles to Wang Xiyang's transportation team.

"The pier is too small, and it's hard for our cars to get off."

Wang Xiyang got off the boat and looked at the small port and pier in front of him.

The Holy Roman Empire was also really poor and backward. This port was really bad. Any random port in Ming Dynasty was much better than it.

This also made Wang Xiyang's preparation seem a little insufficient. The ships that came over were too big, and this kind of ship was not an ordinary ship, but a ship that transported large trucks.

Since the appearance of automobiles, automobiles have quickly become one of the most important means of transportation on land. After all, railways are only available in a few places, and most places still rely on automobiles for transportation.

Escorts are the most in the field of logistics and transportation, and naturally they are also the first to use cars.

Using cars to transport goods has many benefits and advantages over traditional horse-drawn carriages.

First of all, the car has a large carrying capacity. A horse-drawn carriage can transport three to four thousand catties of goods at most, but the big truck is different. It can easily transport ten thousand catties or tens of thousands of catties of goods. , and the truck has more space and can transport a lot of large cargo.

The second is that the speed of the truck is faster, and the horse-drawn carriage is always limited in strength. When encountering some difficult areas or going uphill, it is often necessary to carry the goods down and resist them before loading them.

But trucks are different, especially in areas like Western Europe that are dominated by plains, the transportation of trucks is extremely convenient and the speed is fast enough. It is completely impossible to walk hundreds or thousands of miles a day. problematic, high efficiency.

The second is that compared to walking or riding in a carriage, the escorts escorted by trucks will not be so tired. Once something happens, these escorts can also have enough energy to deal with it.

Because of its many advantages, the car has also become the favorite of the bodyguard bureaus, and a large amount of equipment is in the major bodyguard bureaus to undertake the heavy responsibility of escorting goods.

This time was no exception. Wang Xiyang directly arranged for a large ship to bring the trucks over. There was no problem when boarding the ship, but now it is a bit difficult to get off the ship.

"Who are these people?"

Here in the port of Rostock, many people from the Holy Roman Empire couldn't help asking curiously as they looked at the big ships and these Ming people.

"I don't even know this. These are people from the Ming Empire. If you see the flags flying on their ships, it's the flag of the Ming Empire."

"Ming people?"

"Ming from the East?"

"What are they doing here?"

"Who knows, this is the first time I have seen such a large ship."

"That's right, it's much, much bigger than our fishing boats."

The people in the port looked curiously at these Daming people from the east.

These Daming people in uniforms are tall, strong, with cold and stern faces. Looking at the equipment on their bodies, they are almost armed to the teeth.

The rifles, bows and arrows on the back, the Tang knife pinned to the waist, and the uniform clothes on the body can clearly see that each one has fish scale armor inside.

This equipment is much better than the personal guards of the local Grand Duke. The key is the arrogance and arrogance exuded by these Daming people. Even on the soil of this foreign country, these Daming people still show their sharpness. Any restrained look.

There are more and more people watching the excitement, and everyone watching these people is constantly discussing.

The nobles and officials here in Rostock were quickly alarmed, and they hurried over to inquire about some relevant information. Wang Xiyang brought an interpreter, explained the purpose of coming, and paid a sum of taxes as required.

"Everyone hurry up and try to drive all our cars down before dark."

Wang Xiyang directed the people under his command to get busy. The pier was not big enough, so he temporarily built a bigger and stronger pier.

With money in hand, Wang Xiyang quickly hired a large number of local people to do things for him. The high-quality timber was shipped over, and a large amount of soil and sand were packed into bags.

In less than an hour, a reinforced pier was built, the cabin of the big ship was opened, and trucks came out of the cabin soon.

"What is this?"

"Such a big guy, it can move?"

When they saw the car coming out, the people watching the excitement around couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

Cars are very rare here, especially big trucks.

"It's too big, it's still smoking, and there are people inside."

"What the hell is this?"

"Our lord seems to have a car, but the car is much smaller than this."

"God, this thing seems to be very powerful, and you look like it's full of goods."

"Why are these big Ming things so big, this ship is also the same, and this strange machine is also so huge."

"Are these Daming people the same as in the legend, do they master magic?"

"It's incredible!"

Many people eating melons opened their mouths wide and looked at the big truck in front of them. This was the first time they saw such a big guy, a behemoth that could drive by itself.

Large trucks loaded with goods got off the boat smoothly. Wang Xiyang heaved a sigh of relief, then rolled up his watch, checked the time, and at the same time looked at the sun in the west.

Finally, I can find a place to rest for the night tonight, get a good night's sleep, and start on my way tomorrow.
