Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1043
For the Spaniards in Nanyang, the best time of the year is the short months from November to February of the next year. Although Spain is also known for its warmth in Europe, the tropical climate is not suitable for white people. , is still too hot and too humid, and it is the most pleasant during this time period.

Their November is often October for the Han people, which makes the white people feel very awkward, and this is one of the reasons why the white people feel that the Han people will never integrate.

Of course, when the white people celebrate the new year, the Han people are still working, because it is only their November or early December. This completely different atmosphere often makes the Spaniards feel very uncomfortable.

The 17th year of Wanli has not yet passed, and the Spaniards have already begun to celebrate the New Year of 1990, [-]. Every white person, every white family, has plundered a lot of wealth in the massacre of Han people, everyone, no matter what he is in Europe , It is a hooligan, or a deserter, or a prisoner. Now their net worth can make them a gentleman, and they can spend the rest of their lives decently and richly, and let their children also receive this treatment.

Luzon needs Han people as labor force. After this massacre, everyone felt a little uneasy. The massacre of Han people is not a crime to them, but if it leads to problems in the Luzon colony, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no crimes in Spain. It happened.

However, only three months after the massacre, some Han people from Ming Dynasty actually moved here and behaved more submissively. This completely relieved the Spaniards in Luzon. The Han people are docile, as long as they are given land and the right to live, they will seldom resist.

The white people even thought about killing it again in a few years, but now that they are so rich, returning to Europe to enjoy it is the right thing to do. No one thought of this, and they even felt a little regretful in their hearts.

They got a lot of money again, and they relaxed their mood again. Their New Year's Eve really turned into a carnival, and they took out as much fine wine and various delicacies that they were usually reluctant to drink.

Paul Louis received enough homage and got so drunk that when he woke up in the morning, he was even in a daze, not knowing where he was.

He was surrounded by three sleeping native women. Of course, everyone was naked. Louis shook his head and patted one awake, and asked her to pour himself a glass of water. He liked these native women better than Han women. , so the spoils of the massacre were sold to other colonies after Louis played with them for a few days.

The natives of Luzon are very grateful to the Spaniards, and the white people just gave them the fields, houses and manors of the Han people.

Louis also understood that these fields and houses fell into the hands of the natives, and they would be abandoned in a few years, and they couldn't be maintained at all, but no one cared about them.

After taking a sip of water, Louis lay comfortably on the big bed. The wealth, women, and everything were so perfect. If there is some dissonance, it means that there are a lot more merchant ships robbed during this period than in the past. Fortunately, The merchant ships coming from the Americas and India had sufficient force, which prevented a larger situation from collapsing.

Even seeing the cannons on the ship, the daring pirates dared to get close to the ship and jump to the gang. Often the sailors on the merchant ship had to go through a lot of fighting to escape, and there were certain casualties.

Ships coming to Manila Port from east and west directions, only the people in the colony know about the ship after entering the port. If something happens to the ship on the way, then Manila will know nothing about it, anyway. He is about to be transferred back to China, and Louis doesn't care much about this.

For him, life is really beautiful, and it should be even better in the future.

**************
On the waters of the South China Sea, an armed ship flying the Portuguese flag was approaching another Spanish ship, and the Portuguese ship was constantly flagging, asking them to stop for inspection.

The Spanish ship was actually much larger than the opponent's armed merchant ship, but after being at sea for a long time, seeing the shape of the opponent's ship, artillery and sails, he knew that there was no way to run past the opponent. Instead of being caught up, it was better to take the initiative to accept the inspection.

On the seas of the South China Sea, Portugal is stronger than the Spaniards, and such armed merchant ships can only belong to the Portuguese government.

"Damn it, now the king of Spain is also the king of Portugal, why are these bumpkins still so unreasonable!"

Someone on the ship cursed and ordered in a low voice. When meeting at sea, you must be prepared. The guns of this Spanish merchant ship are also loaded with ammunition and ready to shoot at any time. When it comes to those greedy Dutch, they are not so wary.

The two ships got closer and closer, and the distance was close enough to see the crew on the opposite deck. Someone on the Spanish merchant ship was stunned, but shouted loudly:
"There are yellow people on it!!"

There will be people of yellow race as sailors on white warships, but they will never be in the positions of first mate and second mate. This yell seems to be an order, and everyone on the opposite ship yells, and the portholes on the ship are almost At the same time, it was hit by the muzzle, and a small cannon was pushed out on the deck, and then fired.
At this distance, it is already within the range of the naval guns. Although the Spanish ships are also ready, they are still one step late in firing the guns.

One step behind is the difference between life and death, not to mention that the opposite ship has more artillery than this side. What's more troublesome is that most people on the Spanish ship are busy on the deck, but the other party has launched a shotgun that is specially used to deal with the deck personnel.

In order to ensure the shooting range, such shotguns are composed of dozens of small iron balls. The density and covering area are not too large, but the combined force of six cannons is enough.

There were screams on the deck, and there were not many people standing. In the hasty encounter, even the Spanish ship's cannons only fired two shots, and they were all empty.

"Put down your weapons and surrender, otherwise, you and this ship will be buried!"

The side of the ship has been punched out many holes, the deck is bloody and bloody, and corpses are strewn all over the place. This ship is already in a doomed situation. Now that there is a chance to surrender, it must be seized. At sea, for sailors Captives are still valued, and they are often made to serve on new ships.

It is also possible to be killed, or exiled to an isolated island to fend for itself, but no matter what, there is always a little chance, but what makes them wonder is, when such a large and advanced gunboat will allow the yellow race People are up there.

The other boat surrendered. After the boat approached, people were sent up in small boats, and the boat was completely controlled. The seriously injured were thrown into the sea with a knife. After the shark came, there would be no bones left Down.

The sailors on the Spanish ship were questioned one by one, the Spaniards were placed on one side, and those from other places were placed on the other side.

Everyone felt strange about this arrangement, but they immediately understood that after an order, the Spanish sailors and crew were killed neatly, and the rest were arranged to drive the boat to follow the Portuguese boat. Could it be that Portugal and Spain war started?

Everyone was frightened and thought that the problem is that they also came from Europe. It is impossible that they did not hear the news, but the Eastern Sea knew about it, and there was another strange thing. They could see that it was the ship that came over. The yellow race seems to be Han Chinese, and the Han Chinese are obviously not hired, they seem to be leaders.

On this sea, the pirates of Ming Dynasty were already extremely rampant. Now that there are Western gunboats, it is unimaginable how far these people will go.

Although a round of shelling made many holes in the ship, it could still be repaired. After simple repairs, the ship sailed north.Some of the surviving sailors thought about going to Daming, but they were wrong. After sailing for half a day, there were several Chinese-style ships waiting, and sailors came to take over the ship, the captives and the cargo on board. They were all moved to those ships, while the "Portuguese" armed merchant ships continued to return to their original direction.

These captives had been traveling at sea for a long time, and when they arrived on the mainland, they already felt quite cold. They didn't know where they came to, but they only knew that the port here was also very simple, and there were several robbed ships parked inside. , because there are holes made by artillery on the ship, and Han craftsmen are there to repair them, and you can even see white people with Latino faces busy there.

They were imprisoned in a concentration camp. They didn't suffer much abuse, but the hard labor was very heavy. They repaired the port every day, and even went to the ship to clean and carry it.

Then, more and more ships came here, and there were more and more captives. Those who were interested discovered a commonality, that is, there were no Spaniards in them.

*****************
In November of the 17th year of Wanli, Duke Liao’s villa in Zhoushan was completed, Han Xia wanted a housekeeper, Zhang Hongying and Lu Ruomei had just given birth, and Wang Tong, who was in high spirits, didn’t care about his wife and children’s need for company. With Zhai Xiu'er and Song Chanchan going out to sea by boat, they went to be free and easy.

To say that the advice of nobles from Jiangnan is still effective, Wang Tong took away all the gunboats and ships that could be taken away this time, not to mention how much they were full, and took all the guards and so on.

This is why Duke Liao doesn't look like a nobleman. Going out to sea is a ridiculous thing. What's the use of bringing enough guards. When there's a strong wind, they all go into the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.

However, there was no navy in Daming, and the sea in Songjiang Mansion was dominated by his Liao family. No one knew whether Wang Tong was on the island or went there. As for the supplies, everyone felt that Liao Guogong was on that island.

In the absence of the Duke of Liao, the opening of the Songjiang port was handed over to Yang Sichen, the county magistrate of Shanghai, Shiqi of Baihu, and a group of guards in Shadongning. In and out, there is a small courtyard in the Liao Kingdom’s mansion where people suddenly lived in. It is said that they are two sick maidservants. Just say it.

**************
Speaking of which, this is already within the scope of the Luzon Islands. There are many ships moored in a certain natural harbor. Judging from the appearance, there are also large Western ships and Cantonese ships. Many people are noisy on the island.

Except for Manila, Luzon is still prosperous, and the rest is a wild land. The indigenous people drive canoes or rafts. It is not so easy to go from one island to another, and there is no need to worry. Leak the news.

A group of Wang Tong went to the island to stay, and first cleared the area around the island. In fact, the tribes here didn't have any intention of reporting. They didn't even know that there were any white people in Manila.
"Is the lobster ready?"

Someone yelled at the top of their voice, and after a while, someone served Wang Tong a fragrant lobster on a large wooden plate, and Wang Tong started to eat it there.

Wang Tong and his personal guards ate shrimp, crabs and big fish, but those who looked like pirates and sailors ate only meat, which was delicious.

Tang Shan took a piece of noodle cake and chewed it slowly. Wang Tong asked with a smile, and Tang Shan answered truthfully:
"Grandpa hasn't been in the sea very much. These people eat fish and shrimp all day, and they are tired of eating. This time, when we get to the place, the pigs, chickens and ducks on the boat can be slaughtered. This is the oily stuff."

On the other hand, Sha Dacheng cut the fish with a small knife and said while cutting:
"The Japanese like to cut this fish raw and eat it with soy sauce and wasabi. My subordinates have stayed in Hirado for a long time, but they are used to this way of eating, and it has a special flavor."

Wang Tong nodded with a smile, roasted his own dagger on the fire, picked a piece and tasted it, and said again:
"Can those who are sent back to Songjiang be at ease?"

"Please don't worry, my lord. The people on board are all old brothers, and the two wives are also escorted by female relatives. The news will not be leaked, and there is nothing offensive."

"Oh, the island in Zhoushan is very windy and the weather is like this. I don't feel at ease when the two of them are there. I have been hard-hearted for so many years, but now I can't bear it!"

Wang Tong said with a sigh of emotion, Song Chanchan and Zhai Xiu'er just took a boat around and left for others to see. In fact, they took the boat back to Songjiang Mansion that day, and returned to their own courtyard to live in seclusion, accompanied by their female relatives. , which makes people feel that Wang Tong's fun on the island is more authentic.

Such a large fleet sailed south from Songjiang Mansion, but there was no news leaked, because the periphery of Wang Tong's fleet was the biggest sea lords in the south, and they wanted to lock in the news, and there was no leakage at sea.

But this kind of voyage is not comfortable, bumpy all the way, arrived here, the spirits of the pirate sailors are not bad, but the spirits of Wang Tong and the others are a bit unbearable, so it is better to go ashore to prepare and rest.

"The private port in Fujian needs to be kept an eye on. The news can't be leaked, but if it leaks now, there will be some troubles. It's ridiculous. I'm working in Daming, but I still have to hide it from the local government."

"The people over there still rely on Tianjin Wei Yuncai to make their fortunes. The root is on the father-in-law's side. The father-in-law entrusted him with this matter because he thinks highly of him. Besides, that's where his subordinates started. Carefully The clansmen are watching over there, everything must be cautious, please don’t worry, my lord.”

Wang Tong nodded slowly, but put down the tableware in his hand, thought for a while and said in a low voice:

"It's a matter here, let's go there as soon as possible, the looted goods are okay, those ships are really valuable and useful things."

Both Sha Dacheng and Tang Shan nodded. Using Wang Tong's gunboats to plunder at sea is really a very enjoyable thing. The key is that those big Western ships are very easy to use and will be useful in the future. Someone with a quick mind came over to ask about the follow-up of the captured ships.

There is no shortage of those goods on Wang Tong's side, but they are needed by the pirates and tyrants who are bewitched to come. Moreover, although the Spanish merchant ships stopped in Manila Port for a short time, no one can say how long they will stay there. At that time, the more strength that fortress had, the more trouble here.

This is not a battle of large armies. After all, Wang Tong's core strength is limited, and he still needs the assistance of sea masters and wealthy merchants. If the opponent's resistance is too strong and the losses and troubles caused are too great, some people will definitely retreat.

In fact, Wang Tong set up a meeting, saying that during this period of time at sea, the income was shared among everyone. The sea owners generally had a difficult time attacking Western merchant ships. There were casualties and little gains. On the contrary, Wang Tong's fleet made a lot of gains. The equal distribution gave a lot to everyone, and this was the only way to win over people's hearts.

Because of this, Wang Tong's calculations are also thorough. However, if those captured ships are used in the future, how much power will become in the sea. Wang Tong knows it well, and other people also know it very well. Tong is also becoming more and more respectful, very polite.

I also know that Wang Tong doesn't care much about gold, silver and jewellery. All of them show their abilities, some give precious medicinal materials, some want to open a shop in Songjiang Mansion and move there, and some directly send foreign girls, although they are not as good as Daming. His beauty, after all, is a bit exotic, isn't it?
Regarding this, Wang Tong is also a bit dumbfounded, but he is still willing to do business for Songjiang Mansion to attract business, and everyone to do business together. As for the beautiful women like Nanyang, they all returned. I wanted to pick a few beautiful ones and send them to the capital, but then I thought, the origin of these people is unknown, and I have seen and heard too much, so it is better not to cause this trouble for myself.

Bai Wu returned to Luzon in August of the 17th year of Wanli. He was accompanied by a large number of people from Fujian and Guangdong. Bai Wu treated what he saw and heard as calmly as possible. While rejoicing at the land provided to them, Bai Wu himself was burning with anger, because he knew that it was just those white bastards raising pigs, who would be slaughtered when they were fattened up.——
