Chapter 46 The Origin of the Daming West India Company

Wren finally met Han Xiufen, the legendary female pirate.

In his impression, Han Xiufen was a vulgar pirate, a raider, and a very savage person.

Because, in the war with Han Xiufen over the years, he had heard more than once about the murderous deeds of this female pirate, and he even heard that this female pirate liked tall and strong men the most, as long as it was a tall captive, no one could escape her clutches.

She has countless faces, and has killed countless faces, and is the most terrifying banshee on the sea.

However, when he walked into Han Xiufen's study, what appeared in front of him was a tall and sturdy woman, her face was the color of the sun, and some of her blackness was very different from the skin color of those black people, which should have been brought to her by the sea.

Her figure is tall and full, like Hans Holbein's goddess, but with a little more majesty than the goddess.

Her hair was held up high, a gold ornament with a heavy pendant was inserted into it, and she even wore a pair of glasses, a mouth, and a fluent Bavarian accent that made Wren feel comfortable.

The long, exquisite silk robe on her body was very decent, coupled with the mountains of books around her, so that Ren confirmed that this was a real oriental nobleman as soon as he saw Han Xiufen.

Beside her stood two equally well-dressed men, their smiles very kind, but their fair faces were also tanned by the sun of the sea.

One of them he knew, this Mingguo official named Mingliang Liu, was the most shameless, vicious, and dedicated official he had ever seen, and in Wren's eyes, he was a hyena in human skin.

The other is named Chuanli Zhang, who is also a well-known figure, and also has his own legend on the sea.

Now, these two, in front of Han Xiufen, seem extremely humble, like two hyenas under the command of a lioness, courteous and flattering.

"Count Rennes, sit down first and taste the tea I brought from my home country, it should be a good thing."

Han Xiufen sat at the top of a long table, her voice was not loud, but Wren could hear it clearly.

"Listen to Leonie, Count Jung has announced the removal of my earl title, and now, in front of you is just an old man named Wren Nicklaus, who cannot afford to be hospied by the general."

Han Xiufen ignored Wren's humble words, slowly poured out a cup of golden tea from the teapot, and with a gentle push of his hand, the tea cup filled more than half of it slid in front of Wren, impartially.

"In my Ming Dynasty, we respect the strong, respect the wise, respect the good, as long as we have these qualities, even if he is a farmer, in our eyes he is also a noble person.

And Mr. Wren is a strong man, a wise man, which is why I invite you to share the best tea I have snatched from His Majesty. ”

Wren picked up the teacup in both hands, took a sip of tea, put the teacup down and said, "Wonderful taste." ”

Han Xiufen said with a smile: "Drinking this kind of tea requires a calm mood, Mr. drinking tea like this is a waste." ”

Wren smiled: "I am a prisoner of the general, so naturally I dare not be unreasonable in front of the general." ”

Han Xiufen frowned and looked at Zhang Chuanli and said, "I remember that Mr. Ren has already paid enough ransom?" ”

Zhang Chuanli bowed and said, "Back to the general's words, Mr. Ren is already a free man, and now he and his five servants live in my Daming, and no one interferes with his freedom." ”

When Wren heard Zhang Chuanli say this, he stood up and said, "In that case, can I get a ship from the general, even if it is an increase in my ransom expenses." ”

Han Xiufen smiled: "Where is Mr. Wren going?" ”

Wren sighed: "I hope to be able to sail this ship back to my hometown in Bavaria, back to my pasture, raise pigs, raise some sheep, and live this life quietly." ”

Han Xiufen smiled: "I think Leonie has informed Mr. that your title has been stripped and all your shares in the Dutch East India Company have been embezzled by the remaining twelve shareholders.

At the same time, I have heard that your two sons announced that you were dead as soon as the news of your defeat reached Bavaria, so in what capacity did you go back, sir?

Will the shareholders allow him to appear in front of them alive? ”

Wren smiled: "I was born and raised in Si, they can deprive me of my title and take my property, but they can't deprive me of my citizenship." ”

Liu Mingliang laughed and said, "You may not know that the Nassau family in Orange has already condemned you as a traitor, even after announcing your death, they still condemned you as a traitor.

We, even as your enemies, were very surprised to hear this.

Because we know what hardships we have endured in our battle with you, perhaps those in the Netherlands think that I am a frail old nation. ”

Wren spread his hands and said: "It seems that I have nothing now, fortunately I also have a daughter who has become a colonel of the Daming Navy, maybe my daughter is willing to give his elderly and incompetent father a bite to eat." ”

Han Xiufen smiled, she was already impatient with this kind of stupid behavior of tempting and probing, and seeing that Ren had already shown a certain degree of obedience, she spread her hands and said, "Okay, the reason why I say so much is to give Mr. Ren a chance for revenge." ”

Wren smiled, "I'm listening." ”

Han Xiufen said: "I Daming believes that when dividing India, we cannot miss our share, and Mr. Ren is the specific person who controls these shares for my Daming." ”

Wren was taken aback, leaned on the table and looked at Han Xiufen and said, "I don't think that either Jung or Raymond will allow such a thing to happen." ”

Han Xiufen said: "After I go to sea, Jung will disappear from the sea, and as for Raymond, he should have died in battle at this time." ”

Wren was not at all surprised by what Han Xiufen said, fifty-one of the sixty-seven warships under his command were destroyed by the Ming Navy in the battle of Java Island, including the five second-class battleships he had painstakingly managed.

And the losses of the Ming Navy were minimal, and the cost of sixteen schooners looked high, in fact, in the face of the results of five second-class battleships, it could be completely ignored.

Especially the kind of ironclad ship of the Ming Kingdom, not only fierce firepower, but also sturdy, under the fierce artillery bombardment of the battleship, it simply withstood the attack, and brutally in hand-to-hand combat, crashed into more than one battleship.

The most important thing is that the artillery of the Ming Kingdom fired extremely powerful flowering shells, unlike their battleships, which could only use solid bullets, and the ironclad ships with rough skin and thick flesh were attacked by some heavy artillery, and they could still hold on.

And as soon as their battleship is hit by a flowering shell, it will be a disaster.

Therefore, he is not optimistic about Junge, a noble son who has no one in his eyes, and he can even imagine what will happen to the arrogant Jung after encountering the powerful Ming fleet.

As for Raymond, this guy is an old fox, it is difficult to catch or kill him, this guy has been staying on West Island as his soil emperor, and he is protected by a strong fleet, it is difficult for Han Xiufen to kill him.

Seeing that Ren was silent, Han Xiufen got up with a smile and said, "Mr. Ren can think about it more, and we will discuss it when the matter in the Indian Ocean is clear." ”

Wren immediately said categorically: "It is my honor to serve the Ming Empire, since the general thinks that Wren is still of some use, then, we might as well find a time to talk about the details."

And I should also take a good look at the complex scene in India and think carefully about where to start. ”

Han Xiufen said with a smile: "In this case, I am waiting for Mr.'s plan, and I believe that this plan will be very exciting." ”

Wren also smiled and saluted Han Xiufen, and then said goodbye and left Han Xiufen's study, where he had no way to think carefully and thoughtfully.

Seeing Wren leave, Zhang Chuanli sneered: "Talking so much, don't you want to be obedient?" ”

Han Xiufen resisted the urge to slap this guy, squinted her eyes and said, "Sure enough, it's a hero, this impromptu decision is not comparable to the two of you idiots." ”

Liu Mingliang said in surprise: "Will he be smarter than the two of us?" ”

Han Xiufen said angrily: "Get out." ”

The moire charge was at the forefront, and he had been at the forefront ever since the assault boat landed, and he felt that the blood in his chest was about to explode from his veins and burn.

West Island in front of me has turned into a sea of fire.

Lai's fleet was able to deal with the British fleet while also being able to pour cannonballs on the island with a separate force.

The bullets of the musket made a screeching sound in front of and behind him, and some of them would fall under his feet, and the ground was constantly splashed with dust.

There was a "boom" sound, and Yun Wen was stunned for a moment, and at this time, a pair of thick arms rolled diagonally to the side with him, and the upper body of a Yun disciple who was originally following him suddenly disappeared, leaving only a fart. Strangely fell to the ground with two legs in a row.

"Knock out the artillery positions."

A familiar voice sounded in Moire's ears, Moire shuddered, and immediately roared: "Yunzhen, Yunzhen, artillery shooting, artillery shooting." ”

After the sound of a new type of short cannon firing behind him sounded, Moire jumped out of the hidden place, brandished a long knife and pointed ahead: "Charge!" ”

Lao Zhou grabbed Yunwen's waist and threw him down and wailed: "Young Master, enough, enough, you are brave enough." ”

Moire desperately tore Lao Zhou's hands and said, "Fuck off, after the artillery bombardment begins, the infantry will charge!" ”

Lao Zhou suddenly let go of the cloud pattern, jumped up and held the rifle in front of the cloud pattern, and shouted: "Rush, ......"
