Chapter 573 Satisfied face

The Black Flag Navy is on full alert, and the main force is stationed in Keelung Port, while the Ming Nanyang Fleet continues to berth overseas.

As for those Dutchmen.
The deal has been done.

There is no need for Black Flag to continue pursuing.

Lin Wang and Sun Qin are happy to bring all the Dutch to Liaodong to participate in mining development, but right now they still have a lot of mess to clean up.

The surprise attack and the huge ship riding on the face made the Dutch in the city clearly know that the situation was irreversible, and then ran away decisively.

However, there were more than 300 residents and nearly [-] Dutch garrisons in the city. During the siege, more than [-] people were killed, more than [-] escaped, and the rest were arrested.

With a swipe of Lin Wang's pen, all of them were made slaves.

But even so, these people are not enough to control the black flag. Neither the Spanish colonists nor the Dutch have built this place into a huge port that can accommodate hundreds of warships.

Or that they don't have enough manpower to do so.

"Those Dutchmen want to ransom?"

When they were troubled, the Dutch sent envoys to redeem their family members who had fallen in Keelung.

After looking at the price, Lin Wang directly asked the envoy, who is a Han Chinese, to find a job in Keelung Port first.

The Dutch offered the ransom price.

And Lin Wang wanted the price of selling slaves in Liaodong.

The captured Dutch were men and women, and most of them could not speak the language, so they were either on the construction site or in the Goulan courtyard that already existed in the city, and the messenger who could speak Dutch happened to be an interpreter.

"Boatsmiths, carpenters, stonemasons, or those who know something to work for my black flag navy, but they can get rid of their slavery and become a citizen. If they have meritorious service in the future, it is not a bad idea to become a flagman."

Lin Wang asked the translator to translate the words to the gathered Dutch.

The words are not nonsense.

Just like that Cossack, if you have a bit of skill and work hard, you will be able to stand out in the black flag.

The Portuguese who were thrown into the mines in Black Flag City before were all exceptionally carried from third-class slaves to armored men because they fought with other miners to kill a tiger that broke into the mine. After a few years of survival, they became Bannermen. .

But this group of Dutch people got together, and they were quite indignant when they heard the words from the interpreter.

I have never suffered this grievance.

"what did they say?"

The Dutch shouted for a while, and Lin Wang looked at the translator coldly: "Tell the truth."

The translator couldn't help shaking.

When he came, Black Banner was dealing with prisoners who were dying and could not be cured. Before the shot was shot, the bannerman would come to look at the teeth of these prisoners. If the teeth were in good shape, they would pull them out with small pliers.

After the drawing is finished, another shot will result in the capture of the prisoner.

The euphemism is that the teeth of the living are different from the teeth of the dead.

It's better not to wear soul rings for teeth.

Speaking of which, this is a business that the Portuguese started in Liaodong because of the heyday of slavery in the black flag. The dentures made of human teeth are more durable than the gold and silver dentures popular in the Ming Dynasty, and they fit the structure of the human mouth best.

A slave with good teeth was worth a fortune, and it was worth even more now.

Similarly, prisoners and corpses on the battlefield are also quite valuable.

Even if you don't sell it, it's not bad to get a good set of teeth yourself.

Daming will not allow such inhuman and cruel acts to be widely promoted, but the black flag can.

The interpreter obediently told the truth and translated the curses of the Dutch people.

Lin Wang patted him on the shoulder very satisfied: "Pick out the person who scolded the most fiercely, come on, you point."

The translator tremblingly raised his hand and pointed, and the black flag Ding went to arrest people. On the way, the Dutch struggled a little, and one person was knocked down by the musket.

"I said you interpret the words to them. I know some craftsmen among you. I will cut off his tongue later, and then order people to scrape the flesh from him until all the craftsmen among you stand up. If you scrape to death If it hasn’t come out yet, then change another one, I think you protect the little one, he will be the next one.”

Lin Wang pointed to the guarded half-grown boy among the captured Dutchmen, causing the crowd to shrink back.

"Cut his tongue!"

"Nee! Nee! Genade!"

Begging for mercy was everywhere, and a group of Dutch people finally shouted for their cooperation.

But the tongue of the arrested man was still not kept.

Lin Wang patted the translator on the back: "Single out people as I said before, and let them assist my black flag shipbuilders in their work. Now you are the steward of the Dutch craftsmen. If they make any trouble, you have to Then get scraped."

People didn't redeem it.

But just as other Dutch people on the island thought, their compatriots lived in dire straits after falling to their enemies.

Lin Wang was still a little worried after the Dutch slaves were fully utilized.

Keelung Port must be stabilized. After all, the Black Flag Navy will have to sail to Ryukyu and prepare for the long-term operation. Liaodong needs manpower, and manpower is still needed here.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally made a decision: "Let's fix it first, leave a few more cannons and flying thunder cannons in this city, and you stay on the island and let Nanyang Company assist in firing or transport cement to raise the city wall. I must take all the ships of the navy, and I will take a fleet to the nearest Ryukyu islands to have a look."

Lin Wang pointed to the small islands in the sea, and felt that there would not be much trouble there.

So Nanyang Company stationed the ship into Keelung Port, and came to sing red faces under the banner of Daming.

The port is the garrison port of the Black Flag and also the overseas port of the Daming Nanyang Company. The two parties share it but have different businesses. The Black Banner soldiers stationed in the port will accept the employment of the Nanyang Company in the form of mercenaries in the future.

The two faces can be flexibly switched overseas and the job is over.

So as soon as the Nanyang Company came ashore, the slaves who had been enslaved before, including the Dutch, signed a contract prepared jointly by the Daming Nanyang Company and the Zhenghei Banner Slave Division.

You can get out of slavery and become a free man after receiving basic food and fodder supply labor in Nanyang Company for five years, unless someone pays a suitable price for ransom.

In the future Keelung Port, the upper management and the garrison will be sent by the Black Flag Navy, and the middle and lower management will be sent by the Daming Nanyang Company. It is good to be perfunctory to deal with the current Daming who has no time to worry about overseas.

But only internally.

On Dayuan Island, the turmoil caused by the landing of the Black Banner Navy and the Daming Nanyang Company in Champa has just begun.

The contract between the Zheng family and Heiqi is over.

So they sold the Dutch a road so they could go find the Black Banner Wildlings for revenge.

He also sold some arms to the Dutch by the way.

Also sell both ends.

Black flags also need armaments.

After rushing to the south from Liaodong, it was okay to stay on the ship and not land to fight. After landing, there was a big problem with the armor of the Black Flag Navy.

Cloth face armor and cotton armor are not easy to wear for a long time, only the breastplate and helmet can be used.

These two are enough though.

But in Lin Wang's view, without fully armored soldiers to step up at the critical moment, the defenders were short of key troops after all.

We can only get some armor and leather armor from the Zheng family to ensure that there will be no troubles on the island when the Black Flag Navy divides its forces.

 The first day of the third shift
