Chapter 25: The Pirate King
Master Wen was ready to simply take these goods away at sea...... ybdu。
Unexpectedly, after the news spread, it was all of a sudden, and countless various units that couldn't be beaten by eight poles were begged for the head of Wenda Heavenly Master.
In the past two years, the shortage of domestic materials has been resolved, but foreign exchange is still very valuable. In China, it is often used to discount money, and it is also necessary to earn foreign exchange through exports.
The units that can earn foreign exchange are the most popular. Although Wenda Heavenly Master is a private person, he wants to export tens of millions of goods overseas at once, and such a big deal immediately makes countless guys who smell fishy flock to him.
What he did was naturally said to be a large amount of foreign exchange in the hands of the Wenda Heavenly Master. Even the manager of a certain bank privately offered Wen Da Tianshi to buy the foreign exchange in Wen Fei's hands at an exchange rate higher than the black market price. He even promised to lend to Wenda Heavenly Master at the lowest price......
This made Master Wen Da Celestial Master cry and laugh, and he even had the feeling of being cocooned and bound for a while.
Fortunately, this matter is not too urgent, the export of goods, a few months late and half a year of settlement are also normal.
So Master Wen agreed to come down, and it was a big deal to find a way to get a foreign exchange when the time came. This is not too difficult for him to be a great celestial master.
Especially for the Wenda Heavenly Master, who has a large amount of gold in his hand, with this kind of hard currency, he is afraid that he will not be able to exchange for foreign exchange?
He had just obtained dozens of tons of gold in his hands, and even if it was put into the afterlife, it would be an astronomical amount.
Perhaps, after another half a year of integration, this Heavenly Master will be able to subdue the entire Northern Fusang. Then the Spaniards extracted the resources and benefits of South Fuso.
At that time, this Heavenly Master will be able to return to Middle-earth by boat with an army of 100,000!
It's a pity. Now there is no one in the hands of this Heavenly Master to preside over the overall situation. Otherwise, this Heavenly Master could actually go back to Middle-earth first.
Wenda Tianshi has always been a guy of action, looking at the new Hangzhou that is now bustling and coaxing, and is building a port and a castle, Wenda Tianshi is distressed, why is there no reassuring manpower available under his hands. Able to preside over the big picture in your absence?
Otherwise, when the Great Heavenly Master returned to Middle-earth, wouldn't he have lost the foundation of Fusang?
Come and think about it. Among the Feiyun Ministry, there is definitely no manpower who can preside over the overall situation. These people are reassuring and loyal, but they lack ......
There you have it, come to mind. Wen Da Heavenly Master suddenly remembered. Not every Indian is the kind of elm head that doesn't open his mind.
At least the sage Taren Yavagan he had ever met. And the Achiman wizard, who was obviously full of wisdom.
Especially this guy Aziman, who is a rare talent, although his temperament is not too tough and weak. But with full wisdom, the most important thing is the relationship between Aziman and Feiyunbu that breaks bones and tendons, which is more reassuring.
Plus the assistance of Taren Yavagon, and then there is Blackbeard's mastery of pirates. If a kind of collective leadership is practiced, it may be possible in a short period of several years. Hold up the whole place.
Just when Master Wen was standing on Parrot Island and looking at the lively construction site here, he was thinking about it. Blackbeard, who had just thought of it, had already bowed his head and walked over.
For both Davy Jones and Barbossa. Among these guys, the most reassuring of Master Wen was the murderous and cunning Blackbeard.
Davy Jones would choose to obey Colybso, and Barbossa is just as fierce and cunning, but there is also a kind of freedom in his bones that pirates seek.
Only Blackbeard has the biggest weakness, which was mastered by the Great Heavenly Master Wen and thus exploited.
"Heavenly Master," after the twists and turns of the last long-range raid full of miracles and epic meanings, Blackbeard was already convinced by the Great Celestial Master Wen.
There is no doubt that Master Wen has the ability to shelter him after death. In fact, with Blackbeard's knowledge, he even felt that under the hands of the Great Master of Wen, he could achieve a glory that he had never imagined before......
For example, to be a nobleman! a real nobleman. The most glorious founding nobleman of a new powerful nation.
This qiē made Blackbeard more and more obedient in front of Master Wen.
"What's the matter?" asked the Great Heavenly Master lightly.
"I've been contacted by Captain Schevelle, and he has asked for the honor of meeting the Celestial Master!" Blackbeard said in a serious aristocratic tone, albeit a little nondescript.
"Captain Scheweller?" Master Wen thought for a long time, but he didn't think of who this name was?
"He is the pirate king of the Mediterranean. A guy from Marseille, the French trade center. His fleet had been plundering merchant ships between Europe and the New World, and even France's own colonial ships would not let go......"
It was not surprising that the Great Celestial Master shrugged his shoulders. Who decreed that pirates of any country could not rob their own country's ships?
He remembered who the pirate king of the country Blackbeard was talking about, and it seemed to be the French pirate king among the nine pirate kings. A guy who is as famous as Xiaofeng and Lady Qing, these pirate kings.
By the way, the nine pirate kings in the world are not concentrated in the Caribbean alone. If you take them all......
Thinking of this, Master Wen became interested: "What is this guy looking for me?"
Blackbeard replied respectfully: "Although Schewer claims to be the pirate king of the Mediterranean, he actually controls the pirates on the trade line between the Old and New Continents. Nowadays......"
Oh, no more need for Blackbeard to say, Master Wen will understand. Although pirates are the tumors of the trade routes, they are dependent on the trade routes for survival.
Now, under the great battle of the Wenda Heavenly Master, he has almost destroyed the colonists' fleets of the entire Fuso Continent, as well as most of the merchant ships. In other words, the trade route to Europe has been cut off!
Thinking about it, this French pirate king should be in a hurry. He didn't know that it was impossible for Wenda Heavenly Master to monopolize this advantage for a long time!
After all, although the fleet of the Great Heavenly Master defeated the combined fleet, its strength was not really strong to that extent.
It's definitely an opportunity, though. Thinking of this French pirate king, Wen Da Tianshi suddenly remembered that there was also a Spanish pirate king who was a mortal enemy with Chevelle.
And the reason for thinking of this guy is very simple, this guy is in control from Fusang to the South Seas in the mouth of Middle-earth......
Thinking of this, Master Wen immediately ordered: "Call Scheweiler over, I want to see him." There is another pirate king of Spain, and I will see him too! Sue him, if he does not come now, he will never come!"
Blackbeard laughed wickedly when he heard this, and said, "Don't worry, Heavenly Master. That Spanish guy is going to come very quickly!"
Master Wen nodded, although it was only the seventeenth century, the global trade system had already taken shape.
This trading system envelops almost all the major powers in the world. From Africa to Europe, from Fuso to Asia.
The whole world is under the shadow of this trading system, and it seems that the Ming Dynasty is no exception.
Everyone knows that the gold and silver production of Middle-earth is very small, and before the middle of the Ming Dynasty, copper coins were used as currency. Moreover, the supply of copper coins is insufficient, and all dynasties have suffered from money shortages.
It was not until after the Great Voyage that the silver plundered by the European colonists flowed into Middle-earth through guò trade. This led to the circulation of silver in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
In this respect, Middle-earth was almost an indirect beneficiary of white colonization.
Gold and silver from the Americas, a steady stream of guò galleons, were transported to the South Seas and exchanged for spices. It was transported to the Ming Dynasty for porcelain and other luxury goods, and then transported to Europe by galleons......
And now, the middle link is broken. I'm afraid the two pirate kings who have the biggest impact.
And at this time, the Great Celestial Master saw an opportunity, an opportunity to control this trading system.
As we all know, wealth can only work if it is circulated. The great Heavenly Master Wen got so many mountains of resources in Fusang, especially the furs, which were almost indigestible in the A world!
This trading system has a very great effect on the Wenda Heavenly Master, and now the question is just who will play the dominant role in this trading system?
Now that Master Wen sees an opportunity, he wants to become himself.
While Master Wen was pondering, the French Pirate King, a guy who imitated a nobleman and wore a long golden wig, stood in front of Master Wen.
This guy was different from the other pirates that Master Wen had ever seen, and he looked more like a nobleman. The lace of lace and the intricate decoration are everywhere, and the whole person looks clean as if he is going to a noble banquet!
"Are you Sherwell?" asked the Great Celestial Master faintly.
The pirate king immediately bent down and made a gesture of submission: "Great Lord, your wisdom and strength have spread to every corner of the world with the victory of Summers Island. And I, your devout worshipper, have decided to submit to you!"
"Yes? It sounds good, but it doesn't work. How do you prove your loyalty?"
When Scheweiler heard Wen Da Tianshi's words, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Wen Da Tianshi accepted his submission.
A great battle in the waters of Summers Island blinded Schevelle's eyes. In fact, before this, Schewer had already planned to escape the trade line with his pirate king.
It wasn't just the Caribbean pirates that the Combined Fleet encircled and suppressed, but the Schevelle pirates on the route to the New World were the first targets they were targeted.
By the time of the Battle of Summers, Scherville had lost almost half of his men and ships, and was no longer able to mix. (To be continued......)
