Chapter 561: Dirty Times

In other words, this is a good opportunity for military training.

If you want your soldiers to grow quickly, you must let them tread the blood of the enemy.

Under the command of Yang Feng, all the sailors on the Weiyuan went all out with the fanaticism of one shot to damage the enemy ship, relying on the overwhelming superiority of speed and artillery range and accuracy, and always maintained a distance of about two miles from the Dutch fleet, and then kept firing one huge cannonball after another, although at first most of their shells actually missed, but as time passed, the shells they fired became more and more accurate. And this level of shells, even if they are solid shells without charge, are also very terrifying for wooden battleships, especially the Dreadnought temporarily withdrew from the battle because of a broken mast, in fact, there was only one fifth-class ship and four armed merchant ships engaged with the Weiyuan, their shells could not hit the Weiyuan, and they were not able to close the distance, and every time the shells fired from the Weiyuan hit, they were seriously injured.

This is a forty-two-pounder rifled gun.

This is a naval heavy gun that even if it is replaced by the Victory, it is not enough to withstand it, let alone a fifth-class ship and an even more tragic armed merchant ship.

The final result was that the Dutch chose to flee in the wilderness, but it was not so easy to escape at this time, and the Weiyuan bit them to follow and pursue, and chased them for hundreds of miles before Yang Feng sent two battered battleships and three armed merchant ships to the bottom of the sea with gasoline barrels, leaving only one frightened armed merchant ship to return to Batavia to report the news......

Uh, give him publicity.

This is the purpose of Yang Feng against the Dutch.

He urgently needs to let the whole of Southeast Asia know about him, and the best way to bring down the former Southeast Asian hegemon is to take it down, even if this hegemon is not as good as before, but it is still feared.

The man who trampled the Dutch under his feet must also be awe-inspiring.

In fact, it is.

Just two months after he almost wiped out the Dutch fleet, the nearest company sent someone to pull the relationship, West Borneo has been in the shadow of the Dutch, these gold diggers urgently need a strong foreign aid to support, although Yang Feng is not up to this standard, but it is always right to determine the friendly relationship first.

Of course, just to be friends, not to take refuge in Daming.

These gold diggers have no feelings for Daming.

And Yang Feng warmly welcomed them, by the way to show them a miracle, to promote their relationship with Mazu, to say that no matter these Nanyang Chinese believe in Buddhism, the respect for Mazu is deep-rooted, when Yang Feng used a projector to show themselves and Mazu's old CG short film in front of them, these people basically bowed down at Yang Feng's feet, saying that playing this Yang Feng has been very slippery, as for how to introduce this god emperor to the boss of the company at this time after they go back, Whether the Santiaogou Company will join the command of the God Emperor or not, that is a matter for the future.

The men were followed by a British merchant ship from Singapore.

Uh, passing by.

At least they themselves said it was passing by.

This place is stuck on the waterway, and some of the merchant ships passing through during this time are, and even because Yang Feng rebuilt the dock, there are also merchant ships that have begun to dock for supplies, especially after Yang Feng began to take out some goods for sale, this place is gradually prospering, of course, no matter what the excuse, in short, a British East India Company employee very politely visited the emperor on this island, and Yang Feng also welcomed him warmly, and ostentatiously invited him to board his own warship that defeated the Dutch, and casually admired everything inside.

As for the purchase of several rifled guns by the British......

No problem.

Not to mention guns, even cannons can be sold to you, but the price is official, a gun of 1,000 pounds and a cannon of 10,000 pounds, you can buy as much as you want, or you can exchange it for equivalent gunpowder, and then the clerk tremblingly went back to report, this price is too scary, even if you know that you just buy a sample and go back to imitate, 1,000 pounds and 10,000 pounds is also very terrifying.

Anyway, he went back to his life.

And the next one to arrive after him was the messenger of the Dutch.

The latter once again demanded in a stern tone that Yang Feng must compensate for their losses, that is, to give them the Weiyuan, as for the magic fireball technique that the armed merchant ship said after it returned, it was automatically filtered out by His Excellency the Governor, and he was not a fool, in short, Yang Feng offered the Weiyuan, in exchange for which they could pardon Yang Feng's crimes, allow Yang Feng to retain the right to rule the island of Ambuna, but must be loyal to the Netherlands, and then ......

"You barbarian, you will regret it, the Dutch fleet will let you know our wrath, ah!"

The messenger screamed in anger and horror.

At this time, he was trampled under the feet of Chen Liu, who was holding a knife with a cruel smile on his face, and was slowly cutting his ear, on the sea in the distance, on an Annan merchant ship as an intermediary, those sailors looked at this side curiously, and an Annan captain stood beside Yang Feng with a humble face, looking at the God Emperor with awe.

"The Dutch fleet? Haven't I seen it? ”

Yang Feng said disdainfully.

"Are you from Annam?"

Amid the screams of the Dutch envoy, he asked the captain.

"Back to Your Majesty, the youngest is from Mingxiang, and the ancestor followed Chen Shengcai to Jiading."

The captain said respectfully.

"It's also Zhongliang, you don't have to send this guy back, I'll send him back to Batavia myself, but before that you can help me buy a batch of coal in Saigon as quickly as possible, and if you want the best coal, there should be one there, right?"

Yang Feng said.

Since it is Chen Shangchuan's family, it is easy to do, and this is also the last batch of lonely ministers in the Ming Dynasty.

"Yes, it's enough to get together a boat, but it will take some time to get more, Saigon doesn't produce coal, so it has to be shipped from the north."

The captain said.

"Then send a boat over first, and you can buy gunpowder, right?"

Yang Feng said.

"Yes!"

The captain replied.

"You can buy as much as you can, this is the payment!"

Yang Feng beckoned, a soldier behind him stepped forward with a small box, the lid of the box was opened, and there were exquisite pocket watches inside, the captain gasped, knelt down without hesitation and said: "Villain, thank you for the reward!" ”

This guy's efficiency is very fast, only a month later, he brought Yang Feng a ship of high-quality coal, in addition to nearly two tons of gunpowder, in the end, Saigon is only 800 kilometers here, it doesn't take long to make a round trip, not only did he come back, but also brought the Chen family, the Yang family also has the Mo family representatives of the port country, at this time Ha Xian has just been annexed by Annam for many years, several main members of the Mo family are in Hue as officials, but the area around Ha Xian is still dominated by the old Mo family, The arrival of these people also means that the remnants of the Ming Dynasty in Annan have officially begun to contact Yang Feng.

After all, a strong man who can completely annihilate the Dutch fleet is worth the investment.

At this time, the employee of the British East India Company also returned with a large amount of gunpowder and crude oil, in exchange for a rifled cannon and cannonballs plus ten rifles from Yang Feng. As for whether they can imitate the cannon after replacing it is not Yang Feng's business, at this time the breech-loading rifled gun has already been invented, but it is not really mature, in fact, this thing has never been a problem of design, the material is the most critical, he is a high-quality steel 3D printed version, if the British can use wrought iron forging to punch out, then Yang Feng will pay tribute to them.

The British even hoped that he would be able to provide them with a steam engine, and it was clear that Yang Feng's steam engine was better than theirs.

Of course, Emperor Yang agreed without hesitation, but he had to wait for him to make it before he could give it to the British, and the British also bought a batch of obviously more delicate pocket watches, more beautiful fabrics, and especially a magical new painkiller pill, which was far more effective than the Y** that they were shipping to the north in large quantities, and even the latest Ma-Coffee could not be compared......

Well, that's actually higher-end.

At this time, there was no ban on y** in the world, and Britain itself sold very happily, such as Thomas. Morality. Quincy's "Ode to Y**", the weavers in the East End of London like to feed their children with this, they have to work eighteen hours a day if they want to feed their children, and using this to let the children sleep and then they go to work is the only option, and it is not easy to starve after eating this, as for whether they will feed her children to death......

Then die!

At an age when 57 percent of a worker's children live no longer than five years old, a child dies at a time.

In other words, this is a dirty time.

In this case, Yang Feng certainly didn't mind adding more color to the filth, no matter how bad he was, it would not be any dirtier than the picture of child labor in the British coal mine with his bare body pulling a heavy coal cart......

Uh, girl laborers.

Slavery in girl labour.

In short, Yang Feng began his hookup with the British in this way, so the next ......

"Guys, do you have the guts to go to the same place with me?"

Yang Feng held his new pet, the Borneo Golden Cat, which he had just bought from a merchant in Kuching, and said to the representatives of Chen, Yang, Mo, Lan Fang, Heshun, Dagang, Santiaogou and other companies in front of him.

"Where is Your Majesty going?"

Xie Guifang, who had been sent by Lanfang Company to meet the Divine Emperor, asked cautiously.

At this time, Lan Fang Company could not be a monopoly in West Borneo, they had actually become vassals of the Dutch, and Heshun Company was suppressed by the Dutch, but caught up with the British, and the Dutch only had two small strongholds in Sanfa and Pontianak that were not worth mentioning, in fact, they could not help these Chinese gold diggers, they mainly provoked the company to attack each other. But Yang Feng's sudden appearance began to stir up the situation, after all, no company actually liked the Dutch, after all, the Dutch wanted their gold production worth millions of dong a year, and Yang Feng was not interested in gold, at least for now.

"Batavia."

Yang Feng said with a smile.
