Chapter 236: 6 Tier 3 battleships
If it is an ordinary person, he says, "Those who dare to offend the people who hold the banner of our order will be killed even if they are far away." People laugh at him as toad open his mouth---what a big tone!
But when Master Yan from Taiwan said this, everyone felt that he was definitely not emptying the cannon, because he had a large number of 24-pound cannons!
The battleship swayed at the mouth of the Pearl River, grinningly: "I am collecting protection fees, but I will also protect you!"
In the words of a Cantonese marine merchant: "I'm not afraid of them asking for money, but I'm terribly afraid of it!"
Yes, after experiencing tax evasion, everyone thinks it is better to pay taxes. At least the tax collectors will balance out all those who dare to steal his tax money for his taxes!
Others said: "Why don't you (Southeast Mansion) come early!"
What's more: "You can come, we look forward to the rain like a drought!"
...The feelings of the people are so great that Yan Changwu moved and said: "The people's suffering has been a long journey!"
...
Outer Lingding Island.
A decent building has not been built yet. The officers and soldiers of the Southeast Fleet stand on the seashore and surround them with canvas to block the wind, forming a venue. Hundreds of small horses taken from the warship are placed on the sand and on the wealth. The million-dollar wealthy businessman sat in such a simple chair that they had never sat in such a simple chair since their fortune.
The rostrum is not much better. The woody smell of the trees cut down to make the table is still there, and the seats are better. They are wooden stools. The simple and simple owner Yan Changwu is not ashamed to say: "The conditions are not good, and all my money is used for my cannon. It's on, everyone please take a moment!"
The answer is definitely "use well, use well!"
Sitting on the rostrum are Yan Changwu, Gan Hui, and Storm, plus Mr. David, who is forced to fill the table, and the domestic servant Yan Qingquan (has been promoted to be a steward and qualified to sit on the seat), and there are four more. The prestigious Cantonese businessmen, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Liu, Mr. Niu and Mr. Zhu, these gentlemen represent the four major business families. They communicate with the government, have strong financial resources, have a large fleet, and have a large number of people on board. Equipped with artillery and muskets, the strength is good.
But even so, they go abroad and are often robbed by pirates (to put it bluntly, the South China Sea is a lawless sea, Hong Maofan ignores the pirates, as long as the pirates don't **** them), and they are fed up with Hong Maofan. Of gas.
For them, the annual fee of 2,000 silver dollars for a boat is too small!
Didn't Yan Dashao say, "Cantonese have more money and people are stupid?" They are talking about these four "stupid" gentlemen. They met Yan Changwu before the meeting, and didn't say anything. They partnered to donate to Yan Dashao. Millions of silver in military expenses!
Six third-tier battleships! (Unit price: 150,000 taels of silver)
Such a God of Wealth, how can Young Master Yan not come to sit, please sit, please sit; tea, tea, tea!
Different from the good-looking officials of the Ming Dynasty, they still look down on you when they charge you, and they still don't charge you when they look down on you!
Whoever pays me the money, I will respect him three points, give it as much as possible, and help as much as possible.
Yes, I collect money, but I provide services! This kind of character wins everyone's favor.
"Okay, we have a meeting!" Gan Hui first introduced himself: "I am Gan Hui, the deputy chief of staff of the Southeast Fleet, and my duty is to co-manage military orders and training!"
He straightforwardly used the introduction method of the Southeast Mansion. Everyone was in awe, and according to their own understanding: "It turned out to be Lord Shi Lang of the Ministry of War!" (Order of the Sixth Ministry of War to be in charge of the army)
"These are Mr. Zhang, Mr. Liu, Mr. Niu and Mr. Zhu!" After introducing them, they stood up and nodded to everyone. (Mr., the main address in ancient times as teacher, gradually became the honorific name for intellectuals and men with a certain identity)
"This is Mr. Yan Qingquan, he will be the steward in charge of local affairs!"
Yan Qingquan stood up and greeted everyone: "Hello everyone, I am Yan Qingquan."
turned out to be the principal of the management, the so-called not afraid of officials are afraid of management, everyone nodded at his jaws.
"This is Mr. Storm", introduced Storm, he stood up, nodded to everyone, and then sat down.
"Mr. Storm is the original Dutch fleet commander in Taiwan. Because of Mazu Niangniang's invitation, he has naturalized and became my Daming family. His name is Mr. Tainan Sheng. He currently lives in the southeast prefecture. He believes in Mazu Niangniang and is our southeast. Chief Instructor of the Naval Academy and Deputy Chief of Staff of the Southeast Fleet!"
immediately aroused the surprise of Zhu Haishang: "This Southeast Mansion, even Hongmaofan has been naturalized as a Mingren!"
There is another red fan. Gan Hui is embarrassed to say that it is a red fan, but used a friendly phrase: "This is Mr. David, a foreigner who came to China to help fight for our army!"
Mr. David stood up gracefully and waved to everyone.
Hong Maofans, ghosts too, these Hong Maofans who speak Japanese language, eat raw meat, and have red hair make Ming people feel in awe. What they respect is their a lot of silver, and what they fear is that their firearms are sharp and their offensive power is strong. Mingren knows they are not easy to mess with.
Now even the Hong Maofan has surrendered to him, and everyone is very interested in military strongmen like Yan Changwu.
Yan Changwu knew people's hearts and asked two red hair fans to appear on the show, which added to his sense of mystery.
"Now, let me have the honour to introduce our southeast governor, admiral of the southeast fleet, as a general of the Ming hussar, commander of the Taiwan Guard, Fujian coastal defense guerrilla, and Guangdong coastal defense guerrilla, Master Yan!"
With a brushing sound, Yan Changwu didn't move, but the eight people sitting on either side of him stood up at the same time.
Everyone also stood up!
Yan Changwu's status is honorable, how can he stand up to everyone.
"Please sit down!" Gan Hui gushed: "The Lord Warlord is the reincarnation of a gold and bronze boy under the seat of the Mazu Niang Niang. Under his wise rule, our Southeast Mansion is thriving, and all industries are prospering! Our Southeast Mansion fleet is strong, There are currently eight Tier 3 battleships (in fact, only six, and two are still under construction), eight Tier 5 cruisers, and 40 Tier VI cruisers. These are all splint ships!"
When it comes to the fleet, all maritime merchants are shining in their eyes. They are well-informed. They are amazed at what battleships and cruise ships know. I am afraid that the total number of battleships in the court is not as powerful as the Southeast Fleet!
Especially since he is so young, he can build such a powerful fleet. In the future, it will be worth it!
Gan Hui touted his warlord wildly for a while, telling his heroic deeds, and only after hearing that the eyes of the marine merchants doubled in light, did he hand over the time to Yan Changwu.
"Everyone, I am Yan Changwu, Governor of the Southeast Mansion!"
"At first, I wanted to collect the water from everyone, I was afraid that everyone would not give it. What I wanted was to prepare more warships, please come and give it!" Yan Changwu's opening remarks caused people to laugh.
"Unexpectedly, everyone is so appreciative and vying to attract water, especially Mr. Zhang, Mr. Liu, Mr. Niu and Mr. Zhu. I am deeply moved by their support, and I am even more ashamed of my previous thoughts!" Yan Changwu said. Very vernacular, but no one laughed at him and listened to him attentively.
"I can't understand why everyone is vying to give me money, afraid that I don't want it!" Yan Changwu said, standing up and saying, "You are not giving money, but what you give is your heart!"
He said loudly: "What you gave is your heart, a heart for me, someone. Although you are worried and afraid of giving the wrong person, there is a ray of hope after all. You still gave your heart!"
He sighed deeply and said, "I received the heart you gave me, and I understand it. I want to tell you that you are wronged!"
One stone caused a thousand waves of waves, and the eyes of many marine merchants at UU Reading www.uukanshu.com were red!
Yes, they are fed up with grievances, even if they have a wealth of money, they have to make promises to the officials and guards in their hometowns, and when they are preparing to go to sea to pay for the travel expenses, they will be quiet to the pirates and licensed pirates---Guangdong Navy When encountering pirates at sea, they had to fight. Relatives and friends died in the hands of the pirates and reached the territory of the red hair fan. They were even more careful and flattered. Even the Philippine monkeys and the jungle brown children who served as the red hair fan's follower Guys can blackmail them too!
Because they knew that when they were away from home and wandering across the oceans, they had no reliance, and they had no country to help them. In the words of Emperor Wanli, they were people who had no king, father, no country!
I can only rely on myself for everything. I swallow it with blood and teeth when I am wronged, and save myself as much as possible. If I am wronged, I can support my family as long as I have life.
But personal power is really insignificant.
The shame in my heart eats my heart like a poisonous snake, dreaming back in the morning and night, thinking of the humble humbleness during the day, a trauma that cannot be filled by how much money I can make!
are grown-ups, they are personable in front of the world, they laugh and laugh in front of their wives, children, and parents. Only when they are with their friends and confidants, they cry and sorrow through wine!
Now there is a straw thrown to them, even if the straw is not known whether it is good or bad, genuine or parallel, they still can’t wait to embrace the straw, they have been waiting for this day for too long!
"Don't worry, everything is different!" Yan Changwu announced: "I will send an **** fleet to **** your fleet!"
He proudly said: "I want to see, who dares to move me!"
He said another sentence, which made everyone's confidence soar: "The one who dares to move me is the best, and I can have an excuse to start a war!"
