Chapter 341: Uninvited 2
Mobile reading
The person who spoke was using the official dialect of the Wu Dynasty, and his accent also had a strong Annan accent, fortunately, Lan Xiaoya was also from Annan, although it was difficult to listen, but Hao Lai still understood, so he pointed to the sails on his ship.
The patrol speedboat is hung with a spinnaker, and the sail is printed with a North Star on the sea, representing the Senate Navy. The person who spoke carefully looked at the pattern on the sail, squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, chattered with the person next to him for a while, and then turned his head to Lan Xiaoya and asked loudly, "Are you the senate who fought with us last time in Champa Port?" ”
"Oh? Or an old enemy? Lan Xiaoya couldn't help but be stunned, but his movements were not ambiguous at all, he reached out and opened the safety of the weapon in his hand, and the comrades around him also clicked the bolt of the carrier-based machine gun. The person on the other side was obviously startled, and hurriedly shouted, "No, no! We didn't come to war! We're here to do business! ”
Lan Xiaoya was obviously a little distrustful, but the other party didn't look like he was lying. Seeing that this side seemed to be distrustful, the other party hurriedly beckoned a nearby boat to speed up and come closer.
The draft of the boat was very deep, and it seemed to be loaded with heavy things, and I saw the people on the boat hey-hee-hee take out a large wooden box from the cabin and open it in front of Lan Xiaoya. This opening was not tight, and when it was opened, it almost stunned Lan Xiaoya and the others, and the box was full of a whole box of silver, which emitted a dazzling silver light in the sun. They carefully covered the box, and then shouted a few words at the man who had spoken before, and the man hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes! These are our tributes to the Senate, and we want to buy something. ”
"Shopping?" Lan Xiaoya's head turned a little bit, "Why are so many people here to buy things?" ”
"Isn't that impossible?" The man said with an aggrieved face, "These gold and silver were stolen from Annan a few years ago, and we didn't dare to go to Annan again in the past few years, so we only waited for the Medeno people to send grain to trade in Nicaea, but the Medeno people have not come in recent months, so we can only run out to find someone to trade......" The ships that followed behind saw that they were negotiating in front of them, so they all slowed down and slowly followed behind.
Sun Ke hatefully conspired with Mo to make trouble with the stars
It took Lan Xiaoya for a while to understand what this person was talking about, it turned out that although these people belonged to the natives of the nearby islands, they actually belonged to a side branch of the Nanban, and they had crossed the sea with the main force of the Nanban many times a few years ago to sack Annan. In 1628, tens of thousands of barbarian troops under the port of Champa were resisted by the new army of the port of Champa and the army of the Senate, and the pre-planned plan of grabbing money and slaves was completely unsuccessful, and it was almost in vain. The losses of the Nanban in the Battle of Champa Port were not particularly large, but the few tribes that suffered heavy losses were the descendants of the leader Bogdan who relied on the most, and with their heavy casualties, the money and food as spoils of war were naturally not much to share. After returning to Nicaea, because Bogdan did not get enough benefits in the northern invasions, and severely suppressed the other tribes on weekdays, under such resentment, the tribes of Nicaea declared their independence from Bogdan's leadership. Due to their remote location, their side tribe was not affected by the division of the main island of Nicaea, and they were even more powerless to support the Bogdan tribe.
With the growth of the port of Vostochny, the balance in the South China Sea was broken, and more and more of the Maidno fleet began to assemble in the South China Sea, and even the Southern Ocean City of Maidno was heading towards it. This brings up a big problem, and that is that the mouth of the meal climbs geometrically. In order to satisfy so many mouths to eat, even if most of them were sailors who ate hard biscuits of sea food crawling with weevils, this was not a logistical black hole that could be easily sustained, and a large number of Meednor merchant ships were requisitioned by the Medeno fleet and had to transport grain for the main fleet, thus greatly reducing the transportation and trading activities that originally transported grain and trade goods to the Nicaean Islands.
Regardless of the fact that the natives basically have all kinds of small boats, and they are not slow to travel, but such small boats cannot carry much things, and they cannot enter the ocean transportation, and all transportation must rely on the Medeno people, so the merchant ships of the Medeno people stopped transporting and completely cut off the barbarian commercial circulation.
Although there were a large number of barbarians in the Nicaean Islands, due to their serious lack of experience in farming, they were cultivated by slaves captured by the imperial envoys, and even this could not meet their needs for food, so they had to go north many times to loot to fill the lack of food. As soon as the grain transportation in Medeno stopped, the shortcomings of the barbarians in food were immediately highlighted, and large-scale famine began to occur in many tribes.
It was also at this time that a lost Annam cargo ship inexplicably sailed into the waters of Nicaea, and docked at the port of Jakarta in desperation. This undoubtedly gave the barbarians a shot in the arm, but there was still a shadow in their hearts. When they invaded the north before, they fought with the Senate under the city of Zhancheng Gangcheng, and although they lost, who knows if the other party still holds a grudge? What if you decline your trade request? The Medeno people have closed the trade channel with themselves, and now if they can't open the trade channel with the Chinese, then their tribes can basically wait to starve to death.
Although the side tribe where they are located is far away from the main island, and the nearby fishing resources are abundant, they can still meet their food needs by fishing, but they also want to be able to trade better things to improve their lives, so they have been praying that they can meet a new force and bring them new trading channels.
A few days earlier their relatives in a farther island had come by boat and told them that a strange force had come to their island in a huge ship and had set up a camp, and though it was not known what it was for, it had given them a great deal of iron. When they saw the iron tools, they immediately boiled, although these are some iron tools for daily use, but even these ordinary sickles, shovels, hoes and so on, are far sharper than the knives they used to fight before, and they are strong and durable, and they are not easy to rust, and they are not damaged at all under the erosion of sea fog. They hurriedly asked these distant relatives about their clothing and flags, and soon reminded them of the senate that had beaten their tens of thousands of troops back then. Since the people came here to set up a camp, they seemed to be quite friendly to their distant relatives, and they didn't think they came to settle accounts and suppress themselves, thinking of this, they finally decided to simply come over and make a deal.
It was also quite a lot of brains for them to choose the trading goods, as the island natives, they did not have any special products on the island that they could see, except for bananas and pineapples or something, basically there was only sand and wood, and there was not much soil. But the amount of gold and silver is already very small, and these are all taken out by all the families together, so everyone is a little uneasy, afraid of being taken away with the money, so they all come out together, so there is such a vast fleet.
"So that's the case...... Lan Xiaoya felt even more speechless after hearing this, he knew that this time the Ministry of Commerce and Trade sent someone to return an Oriental Port to the purpose of establishing a trading station, but isn't this trading station going to be built in Qingdao? Now, if we sell out of trade here early, I don't know if it will make the Ministry of Commerce and Trade unhappy. However, he couldn't make a decision now, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to report it to the command of Lanyu first, so that they could make a decision. However, he still fired a signal flare into the air to disarm the threat, so as not to make the island too nervous.
Although the aborigines' boat ran fast, it was not enough to see in front of the "modernized" modified sail patrol speedboat, and after Lan Xiaoya showed them the way forward, he hoisted the sail and headed towards Lanyu at full speed, leaving the mighty aboriginal fleet far behind, leaving only an exclamation from the natives.
"That's the way it is," Lan Xiaoya saluted after making a detailed report to Maruyama, who was in charge of the command, "Please ask the Chief of the General Staff to decide." ”
"That's ......" Maruyama hadn't spoken yet, Guo Hao next to him spoke first, "Of course you can't trade with them, these people are barbarians!" ”
"What's wrong with the barbarians?" Hong Jie was a little angry, as long as Guo Hao spoke, he scolded him head-on, "Although these people are barbarians, they are now honestly trading with trading goods, why can't they trade?" ”
"Who knows if they came here to attack us in the name of trading?" Guo Hao's face was a little unhappy, and he hurriedly said, "When the time comes, they will suddenly attack, and our original advantage in distance will be gone, in case of losses, who will be it?" ”
The feud is far away and cool, and the moon is cold
"It's okay to strengthen precautions for this kind of thing, if you are afraid of wolves and tigers, then we can nest in Dongfang Port every day, and whoever comes will give someone a shot." Hong Jie sneered, "We will conquer the world in the future, we are afraid of here and there now, how can we mix in the future?" ”
Guo Hao's neck suddenly stiffened, and he almost didn't shout at Hong Jie, "But our Ministry of Commerce and Trade was originally going to go to Qingdao, Shandong Province to open up a new trade point, but now it has been dragged here and all the trading goods have been removed, so isn't it to return to the ship to pick up the trading goods?" Who is to blame for delaying sea shipping? ”
"It's not yours anyway," Hong Jie said, "and now that our personnel at sea have not finished resting, it will take at least ten days or so to allow your Oriental Port to return to load new cargo, and when you return, we can continue to the north, and in my opinion, we might as well leave a trading point here and build a large-scale camp and facilities here." ”
"It's not a good place to build large-scale camps and facilities," said Yang Feng, who was sitting next to him, "It's a seismic zone, and the underwater terrain next to the island is quite complicated, so if you want to build a large-scale port facility, you will have to carry out underwater blasting and other work, but it is still feasible in the long run." ”
"Yes, now our means are not capable of large-scale construction on this island." Guo Hao's voice was interrupted by Hong Jie as soon as his words fell, "Yang Feng said that it is underwater, not on the shore, and the construction on the shore is still fine." ”
Yang Feng next to him nodded, "Yes, there is no problem with shore construction, and ......" he said and paused, "In my personal opinion, I think Lanyu is very suitable for use as a trading port." As he spoke, he pointed to the east, "There is the Pacific Ocean over there, the Philippines to the south, the island of Taiwan at the back, and the South China Sea at the back, as long as it is really built, the location of this island will become very important, and the only drawback is that the island is too small." ”
Sun Yuandi's hatred is revealed one after another
"I remember that in the past, whether the Dutch or the British, they would open up a piece of land in the Spice Islands or the Caribbean Islands, and building two trestles would be considered a port," Zhan Jie said next to him, "If we follow that standard, our port would be easy to build, the only drawback is that there are still a lot of natives on the island." ”
"It's not a problem for the natives," Yang Feng said with a smile, "This island is forty-five square kilometers, and there is still quite a lot of vegetation on it, as long as people are not lazy, do not eat and wait for death, we can let them breed animals here, this is tropical, and it is rare to get sick because of the cold." In addition, it is an outlying island, so there will be no large-scale infectious diseases, and it is a good place for breeding cattle, sheep and pigs. If Sun Wenbin knew that there was such a place, he would definitely pack up his things and run over with his livestock immediately. ”
"What if I'm lazy?" Guo Hao was not happy, and hurriedly asked, Yang Feng looked around, and saw that there were no natives present, so he said word by word, "Since ancient times, Lanyu has been an inseparable part of China, and they occupy Lanyu to live illegally, are the guns in our army's hands vegetarian?" We're here to light the way for the barbarians! If you don't want to welcome the light, go and stay in the darkness forever! ”
Maruyama thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Then let's open the east side of the island to them and allow them to come and trade," he said, looking at the several Foreign Legion officers standing on the side, "All soldiers must keep their guns on their bodies, ammunition loaded, and if they find signs of something wrong, they must stop it as soon as possible, and if they can't stop it, then they can shoot after questioning." ”
Sun Kekedi is a cool enemy and Mo is cold
