Chapter 17 Yun Zhao made a heavy bet on the sea

Clear fresh water rushed down Han Xiufen's thick neck, crossed mountains, plains, and valleys, and finally splashed on the deck, and soon merged into a small lake.

Her brocade-like brown skin shone when moistened by water.

The blonde boy looked at Han Xiufen's majestic body in fear, and couldn't help but hug his arms and tremble.

Han Xiufen cleaned her body, wrapped her in a piece of linen, pulled her long hair into a bun casually, looked at the thin young man and said, "Aren't you going to wash?" ”

The young man forced himself to look at the majestic Han Xiufen and said, "Are you a barbarian?" ”

Han Xiufen shook her head inexplicably, then sat in front of the porthole, opened a small sheepskin notebook, and wrote and drew on it with a quill pen.

The young man looked at Han Xiufen who was writing, perhaps it was the act of writing that made him think that Han Xiufen should be a reasonable person, so he slowly approached and looked at the words on the parchment and said, "Is this your writing?" ”

Han Xiufen said proudly: "This is the most beautiful and accurate writing in the world, and only high-level people can enjoy it." ”

The young man was a little unconvinced, and said, "Everyone thinks that their lamb is the best." ”

Looking at the approaching young man, Han Xiufen sniffled and said, "You already stink, why don't you wash it well?" ”

The young man's face turned crimson and he muttered, "I used perfume." ”

"Your grandfather, Charlemagne, hated bathing the most, and it seems that this disease has been transmitted to you, but don't you feel embarrassed if you have not bathed for many years as a woman?

Go take a bath, you piggy. ”

"You know I'm a woman?" The blonde boy screamed.

Han Xiufen looked at the blonde girl and her maid with gloomy eyes and said, "The smell of a woman's body is different from the smell of a man's body, I haven't seen you yet, but I smelled the stench emanating from your body from the strong bloody gas."

Go take a shower, and if I don't get rid of the stench on you, I'll throw you out and let you sleep with those filthy sailors. ”

"Oh no!"

The blonde girl hurriedly came to the wooden barrel filled with water and said to the maid, "Wiesel, come and help me, I don't want to live with a sailor like a pig." ”

When the girl stripped naked and was about to take a bath, she suddenly found that Han Xiufen was looking at their bodies intently.

So, she screamed and covered her chest.

Han Xiufen said irritably: "Take your hand away, I'm painting." ”

The girl doesn't seem to be resistant to painting, but the plump maid next to her is scratching her head to show the beauty of her body.

Han Xiufen is a very good painter, serious and serious.

After painting these two female bodies, she took out a picture album from her bag, and after opening the album, it was full of ** portraits of oriental women, she kept flipping through them, and finally her eyes fell on a portrait that looked like Qian Duoduo**, and kept comparing the portrait of the girl with the portrait of Qian Duoduo.

"Qian Duoduo's body curve is the most beautiful in the Oriental female body, and this European woman's is much worse.

Logically speaking, beauty has a commonality...... The physical difference between the East and the West should not be so big...... Well, this girl doesn't represent the most beautiful Westerners, and there is a lot of money...... Alas...... She is really the most beautiful ...... in the Oriental world."

The little girl and the maid took a bath while looking at Han Xiufen, until they used up a whole piece of soap from Han Xiufen, and then washed out the water.

"Clothes should be scalded with boiling water!"

Han Xiufen threw two pieces of linen to the little girl and the maid.

The laundry was naturally handed over to the maid Wiesel, and the little girl said to Han Xiufen while wiping the water droplets from her hair: "My name is Leonie, you can ask my father for a good price." ”

"Who is your father?"

"My father was one of the seventeen directors of the Dutch East India Company, Grand Cohen!"

"Can he give his life for you?"

"Can't!"

"Can he trade two warships for you?"

"No, it won't!"

"Can you hand over the charts? I'm referring to a nautical chart to the New World. ”

"I have this picture, can I trade him for my freedom?"

"Can't!" Han Xiufen pinched Leonie's slender neck and said, "You are my captive, everything you have is mine, now, hurry up and bring me the nautical chart." ”

"I'll get ......"

When the maid Sevier came to the deck wrapped in a linen cloth and begged for boiling water, there was a dead silence on the deck.

Whether it was a yellow, white, or dark-skinned sailor, they all stopped what they were doing and looked directly at Sewell.

The thin linen was not enough to completely cover Sewell's body, and both the hemispheres peeking out of the linen and the bare round thighs at the bottom of the linen were almost burned by these hungry eyes.

Fortunately, Zhang Chuanli coughed, and everyone reluctantly withdrew their gaze and pretended to be busy......

The thing used to boil hot water on the Lantian is a broken mirror, which is embedded in a pot, and after finding the point of sunlight, it is a good water boiler.

Sevier stood by the water boiler, barely breathing in amazement, she thought it was magic.

Liu Mingliang kindly helped Swell iron his clothes, and stayed by Sewell's side for a long time while washing clothes......

The former captain and current first mate Mario came to Liu Mingliang's side and said, "All the captives have already been asked, they belong to the Dutch East India Company. ”

Liu Mingliang said: "Sell them all, these people are good sailors, but we can't use them." ”

"The Princess is too badly damaged, the main mast and keel are damaged, and they can't be used."

"Then let's sink."

Mario hurriedly got on the Princess again, and after a while, the pirates who stayed on the Princess returned to the Lantian one after another, and with the departure of the Lantian Marine, the huge Princess was slowly sinking, and by the time the sun set, the Princess had disappeared on the sea.

Today, the Lantian has become the flagship, and there are three small warships behind him.

The pirates who climbed on the mast kept signaling that they had spotted a fat sheep, so that, depending on the size of the opponent's ship, one or two pirate ships would leave the fleet and pounce on their prey.

When Han Xiufen put on a beautiful silk cloak and came to the deck with a book in her hand, all the black pirates knelt down in unison and saluted.

It can be seen that these people are willing to salute, because, on the sea, only Han Xiufen does not seem to have any prejudice against them, although she is more ferocious than other pirate kings, but she is treated uniformly to her subordinates.

They also have the linen clothes that others have, and they also have the same distribution of the wine that others like to drink, but they can't drink it anytime and anywhere.

The most important thing is that they are paid, which is very important to the black pirates, and with money, they can live like a human being on a paradise island.

Han Xiufen came to Liu Mingliang and Zhang Chuanli and said: "This time we were lucky, we caught the daughter of the director of the Dutch East India Company, and got a direct route map from Europe to the New World from her.

This thing should be sent back to Lantian County and handed over to the county honor, who do you think will be better? ”

Liu Mingliang said: "It looks like you're not going back to Lantian County, are you?" ”

Han Xiufen nodded and said, "I like the sea and savage Europe." ”

"Are you going to defect?" Zhang Chuanli's voice was full of emotion.

Han Xiufen smiled: "What would you do if I stood on my own?" ”

Zhang Chuanli took out his short fire gun and aimed it at Han Xiufen's head and said, "I will kill you." ”

"We have lived and died together for so many days, and we have grown up together, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Chuanli said: "After killing you, I will commit suicide, just treat my mother's life as if I lived in vain, Han Xiufen, I'm not kidding, if you want to do that, either you kill us, or, be killed by us, there is no third way." ”

Han Xiufen looked at Liu Mingming, who was standing with Zhang Chuanli, and sighed: "We all have to live well, and no one should die."

I just feel that the sea needs me more, I am there, and the sea there belongs to Lantian County. ”

Zhang Chuanli breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the deck and said: "Don't tease the two of us anymore, we don't have as deep ideas as you, we can only act according to our own ideas, especially not let the two of us have a misunderstanding."

Han Xiufen, I know that you are stronger than the two of us combined, but please don't touch the bottom line of the two of us.

If there is a next time, I will shoot first and then investigate the reason, we are not smart, but what, we both think that loyalty is more important than ability, strength. ”

Han Xiufen said with a smile: "The core of Confucius's knowledge is 'monarchs, ministers, fathers, fathers, sons, sons,' if you can't jump out of this old pit, you will never have a new vision, this is the difference between us, I am questioning when I do learning, and you are following the example of learning in Dongshi." ”

Liu Mingliang said: "We know that Confucianism is an aristocratic study, and we also know that Confucius formulated ethics and morality in order to let the world have a standard to rely on...... You see, we know everything, but I think he's right, I like it.

If you don't like it, that's your business, and if you have the ability to break through in the future, it's also your business, don't pollute my heart with your ideas.

I like the set of "monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, and sons, you bite me?" ”

Han Xiufen shook her head and looked at her two stupid subordinates with pity and sighed: "The biggest official position in your life is probably my deputy general." ”

Liu Mingliang said: "If it weren't for you on the road, we would have arrived in Europe, and I would still be a happy scholar, not dressed like this to accompany you as a pirate."

You, Han Lingshan, Xu Wuxiang, Zhang Guozhu and these people are all crazy, and they don't want to live a good life arranged by the county honor, and they have to make themselves explode like an artillery battle to be satisfied.

You know, my biggest wish in life is to stay in Yushan Academy to teach, teach during the day, go home for dinner at night, take a walk after eating, pour a large glass of wine with ice after walking, drink while preparing for classes, do learning, and I am willing to live a life like this.

It's good for the mountain chief to leave you people to teach in Yushan...... None of them are willing, and Zhang Chuanli and I are red-eyed when I see it-"

Han Xiufen sneered and said, "Yushan Academy is because there are too many fools like you that the county is so hard.

A country can be small or weak, but it must not be without a long-term vision, because small and weak are only temporary, as long as we have a long-term vision and perseverance, we will one day become stronger.

Nowadays, my Lantian County is actually the weakest, as long as the purpose of holding on is enough. Our strongest manpower is all outside, whether it is plugged into a lonely city, or our ship drifting on the sea, it is my Lantian County stretched out arms, one day, our two arms will be all the way to the east to embrace the past, as long as these two arms are tightly buckled together, it is when my Lantian County dominates the world.

At that time, these two arms will extend outward until the end of the sky, the end of the sea.

Shut your two foul mouths, carefully study the current situation, search for the treasures here, we need ships, we need good ships, we need warships, and we need this sea and the land here.

I tell you, there can't be too many opportunities to scratch the world, this time, we must seize it, hold it tightly! ”

Seeing Han Xiufen enter the cabin, Liu Mingliang and Zhang Chuanli glanced at each other, and the idea of wanting to limit Han Xiufen's power just now disappeared.

The two of them had never doubted Han Xiufen's loyalty, and it would be ridiculous if someone from Yushan Academy had a problem with their loyalty.

The greatest danger of the Lantian at the moment was not the Sultans and Caliphs who offered bounties, but Cohen, the governor of the Dutch East India Company.

If Han Xiufen just wants to be a pirate, then the contradiction between Lantian and Cohen is not deep, and there are even common interests.

However, Han Xiufen being a pirate is just a springboard for her, after a year of looting, Han Xiufen, Liu Mingliang, and Zhang Chuanli have to admit that this is an extremely rich sea.

There are countless precious resources on this coastline, and when you think of the people of Lantian County having to work hard to keep their stomachs fed, the pigs here only need to lie down under the coconut trees to sleep to get enough food.

All three of them had experienced hardships, and when they found the wild man lying under the coconut tree and being stoned alive by the coconut, they felt endless resentment in their hearts.

And the Dutch East India Company, a merchant, actually monopolized all the foreign trade of the Japanese state, and occupied the bay of Taiwan, where to get pepper, deerskin, venison, linen, cotton...... Just the deer skins, Liu Mingliang and they robbed 60,000 pieces.

They have obtained countless riches through robbery, but unfortunately, these riches cannot be returned to Lantian County, especially the deerskin, and can only watch it rot.

The two drew countless lines on the map, and eventually both had to give up – too far.

Once again, a night was wasted, and the sleepy Zhang Chuanli said, "You say, does Han Xiufen already have a way?" ”

Liu Mingliang stuffed his head into the bucket and spit out a string of bubbles and said, "You said that woman? ”

Zhang Chuanli said: "We don't have enough brains, we should ask smart people, in the past, there were more smart people than dogs in the academy, and we ignored them, and now, it's really difficult to find a smart person." ”

"Ask Han Xiufen."

Zhang Chuanli agreed with Liu Mingming's suggestion, and the two came to Han Xiufen's cabin.

Fortunately, there are no unsightly pictures.

Han Xiufen combed the dignified Yushan Academy hairstyle, but she had a lot of hair, and after combing this hairstyle, it seemed that she had two heads.

The little blonde girl was wearing a cylindrical linen skirt all over her body, which was really nothing to look at, but her maid hung a piece of cloth all over her body, and it made people breathe quickly when they saw it.

After the two explained their intentions, Han Xiufen said: "The most troublesome thing now is that we can't establish contact with Lantian County.

It is no longer possible to pass through the Han merchant ships here, we have a bad relationship with Eighteen Zhi, no one is willing to help us, in the past, when Zheng Zhilong's family was not big, we can also use the people in Eighteen Zhi, now, Zheng Zhilong is unified Eighteen Zhi, Liu Xiang and other pirates have died, so there is no possibility.

I want to take advantage of this Leonie this time, and after the next time I rob the Dutch merchant ships, I will leave a living mouth for him to tell Cohen that if he wants his daughter to return safely, he needs to negotiate the ransom with the county, so that the county will have a way to contact us. ”

Liu Mingliang and Zhang Chuanli nodded again and again after listening to it, Zhang Chuanli even flatteringly helped Han Xiufen sort out her hairstyle, he felt that Han Xiufen's hairstyle was not quite right.

The two of them have been thinking about things for a long time, and it doesn't seem to be a difficult thing in Han Xiufen's hands, and when people saw the Dutch girl for the first time, it seemed that this idea had already taken shape. Sometimes, the gap between people is bigger than the gap between people and pigs.

Qian Shaoshao put his hands in the clear water, and looked at the blood stains on his hands that gradually stained the clear water, and after changing two basins of water, his hands became white as jade again.

At this time, Qian Duoduo was excitedly holding Han Xiufen's handwritten letter to Yun Zhao and Feng Ying about Han Xiufen's glorious deeds at sea.

This letter is incomprehensible to others, because this thick letter is completely written in pinyin, which the Dutch can't understand, and the Ming people can't read it, only in Yushan Academy, small children can read it clearly.

"That Dutchman Van der Sar is really bad, obviously he is Han Xiufen's messenger, but he hid this letter and didn't tell us, and wanted to oppress us and order Han Xiufen to release him, it's really cunning, if it wasn't for Shaoshao's last resort, this guy must still want to get by.

No, I have to let Shaoshao interrogate again, Han Xiufen said that she got me a pearl the size of an egg, don't be swallowed by this Dutchman. ”

Yun Zhao grabbed Qian Duoduo and said: "Rest for a while, don't run again, where did you get the big pearl, this is Han Xiufen is lying to you, she is afraid that we will not pay attention to maritime trade, so she will use this thing to deceive us, and the same is true for the corals that I promised to give Feng Ying."

I thought she went to the sea, she was somewhat reliable, and she still liked to mess around so much.

Now help me write a letter to Han Xiufen in pinyin, and tell him that I am going to make a little deal with Zheng Zhilong, and he will help me at sea, and I will help him on land.

This person is bent on establishing himself as the king in Taiwan 1 Bay, and now that this island is occupied by the Dutch, his Zheng Zhilong's people may be quite brave at sea, but when it comes to land, it is not an overnight thing to build a strong army, and he has to rely on our strength if he wants Taiwan 1 Bay now, so I am not afraid that he will harm Han Xiufen and them.

Tell Han Xiufen that before we have established our own contact channels, we will use Zheng Zhilong's, and at the same time, since she wants to form a naval army, then we will continue to send manpower over, and we will also build three warships in Quanzhou and Guangzhou that are the same as Lantian for her.

However, she had to pay for the expenses herself, and since she could not go to Europe, I would send someone over to take them on to continue the trip to Europe. ”

Yun Zhao said while Qian Duoduo wrote quickly, and Feng Ying said worriedly: "We are building warships with such fanfare, I'm afraid it is not something that the Yu family, a dilapidated person who only relies on the face of his old protégés, can cover." ”

Yun Zhao said: "Yu Zhigao, the battle of Tongshan and the Dutch to encircle and suppress Zheng Zhilong was not completely annihilated, and the beheading of the dignified Fujian chief military officer was also miserable.

It's just that he is Yu Dayou's son.

Ah Ying, there are still a few people in the Qi family army who can fight now, why didn't Yu Dayou, who was on a par with Qi Shuai back then, have half of them left behind? ”

Feng Ying spread his hands and said: "There's no way, that's all that's left, the master just looks at it, and some of it is better than nothing." ”

"It seems that we have strengthened the construction of Fujian and Guangdong, and told Mr. Xu that this year, we will recruit more Fujian and Guangdong children, and we don't want any descendants of famous generals, just ordinary people's scholars."

Feng Ying nodded, it was not too late to cultivate his own people at this time. ”

Zheng Zhibao did not leave Lantian County, he was waiting for Van der Sar.

Since they came together, they naturally had to go back together.

Yun Zhao naturally knew about Van der Sar's words and deeds to extract a confession, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, Yun Zhao's many ways of doing things were very similar to his eldest brother.

It's so simple and straightforward!

But when you think about it, you can understand that one is a family of bandits and the other is a pirate, and it is too common for them to have something in common.

I hadn't seen Van der Sar for three days, and when I saw him again, the originally pale man looked like a vampire.

It's just that the clothes on his body are still intact, even neat, and there are no scars on his face or hands.

However, judging from Van der Sar's walking posture, Zheng Zhibao felt that this guy was at least a hundred years old.

His energy seemed to have been drained.

Van der Sar, who returned, fell asleep upside down, and even in his sleep he would cry like a baby's grievance.

In the past three days, Zheng Zhibao did not go to see the prosperity of Lantian County, but stayed at the Phoenix Mountain Military Camp for three days.

In these three days, he unknowingly spent as much as 230,000 taels of silver.

After personally testing the new weapons in Lantian County, if he could still be a bigger master, he would definitely not hesitate to spend more silver.

Of course, these silver will not be delivered in Lantian County, and in the future, they will not even be given to Lantian County, but will be delivered in Guangzhou in the form of goods.

Zheng Zhibao didn't know how to describe Lantian County, he just wanted to rush back to Tong'an County, Quanzhou Prefecture, as soon as possible and tell his eldest brother everything he saw and heard here.
