Chapter 886: The Legend of Yankee Ghani (3)
Before the war, Yankee Ghani had been to Obi Island to load goods. He knew that there were fewer people on Obi Island and more nutmeg, probably less than a hundred adults, all of whom were Chinese.
There are aboriginal people on the island, but they have all disappeared... The Buddha said, you can’t talk about it, you can’t talk about it.
The diligent Chinese do a lot of work even if they are a hundred people. They grow rice and sago to feed themselves, with the help of cattle and donkeys, they also grow cassava to make wine, they raise sheep and pigs plus chickens, and they even make coconut soap. The way to make money is to grow nutmeg, which is underwritten by the government, purchased by the government, and then sold to them at a low price. It is quite profitable to buy in and out.
There is only one simple wharf on the island, and there is also a wharf. The islanders live very happily. Without much entertainment, they are busy developing during the day and having children at night. There are more than 150 children on that island. Two hundred children go ahead!
Yankee Garney lived on Obi Island for a week and liked it very much. His footprints are all over the island, so he is very familiar with it.
This time he attacked Obi Island, he took a smart circle, approaching Obi Island from the northwest of the island.
The northwest direction is a place not developed by the Chinese, and it is not easy to be found.
The Golden Deer was stationed in a bay northwest of Obi Island. Yankee Ghani took people on a small boat and went to investigate the situation.
The boat went down and slowly rowed along the coast in the warm night. Sailor Mozart and nine other men sat on both sides of the boat. They watched the woods on the coastline vigilantly.
Yankee Ghani, wearing a black cloak, sits on the tailgate and is responsible for steering the boat to the Chinese settlement.
Everyone was silent, and even the paddles were covered with cloth, and the paddles were silent.
Yankee Ghani's calmness adds courage to everyone. No one knows what the Chinese defense will be, and can only pray for the best.
When it was almost dawn, they arrived. The boat stopped on the edge of a sandbar. People jumped out of the boat and pulled it onto the sandbar, and then dragged it onto the coast and hid it in the dense woods on the coast.
Four people were left to clean up the traces of going ashore. They retreated while erasing their footprints.
The four people stayed behind to guard the boat, and the others started climbing under the leadership of Yankee Ghani. The low bushes were hot, humid and unfriendly, and they had to cut a way with a machete.
With Yankee Ghani’s reminder, everyone puts on shoes and compacts themselves. This is very hot, but they can avoid the nasty mosquitoes and locusts. These things are everywhere!
The small team entered a large area of lush dense forest. Those who had never been were surprised by the size of these trees. They stood like a church, with long vines hanging from each tree.
Yankee Ghani skillfully chopped off the bulb-like one with a machete, and the juice flowed out of it. They filled their own kettle, which was a Chinese-made tin kettle.
After passing through this forest, they began to climb the steep **** of a hill. Although it was not high, there was no way to go!
"Captain, have you been here before?" someone asked.
"I haven't been here, I am here now!" Yankee Garni smiled slightly.
People worked hard to clear the way, and when they reached the top of the mountain, they removed the leaves, and the Chinese settlement was below!
After taking a break, several telescopes were turned on and aimed down to observe the situation.
The Chinese live together to form villages. They build wooden fences to protect the village so that they can fight in the fences.
A watchtower was set up, and someone stood guard with a musket on his back.
Inside the settlement, there are neat wooden houses, while outside, there is farmland, densely facing the distance, and there are large nutmeg plantations.
It is already daytime, and there are many people working in the farmland, driving cows and donkeys at work. There are more cows and less donkeys. Everyone has livestock to work with.
The red hair fans greedily said: "They are rich!"
The productivity of the East and the West are not developed, and the farmers with livestock are enviable.
Yankee Garney fingered: "There is the dock area, that is the warehouse!"
There are many fishing boats on the pier. The Chinese are really diligent, farming, planting nutmeg and going out to sea to fish, no one is lazy!
In his impression, these areas have not changed, which is a good thing.
"Good news!" After observing for a while, Mozart said: "There is no cruiser, no regular army!"
Obi Island is too small to be worth sending troops, and the Southeast Army’s strength is severely insufficient, and it has long been stretched.
This is an example of too fast development. Southeast Asia is a very large area, and there are many places to defend. It is good to be able to equip the people with muskets.
Although there are also orders to shrink and transfer, the people are reluctant to leave their comfortable dens. There is always a fluke. And the Spice Islands has really not seen any enemies these days. There is no one thousand days to guard against thieves, everyone slackens, and the people respond separately. Home.
"How to do?"
Although Mozart is as famous as a famous musician in later generations, this Mozart is an out-and-out pirate: "Tomorrow morning we will sail over, raid them, and rob them all!"
Yankee Ghani didn't speak, he observed carefully, and then he said, "There are spices in the warehouse, and they are transporting spices in it!!"
"Good!" Everyone was overjoyed.
"Since we have spices, don't raid their settlements!" Yankee Ghani said, everyone was a little unhappy, they wanted to get supplies, rob property and women.
"Do you know why we went so smoothly?" Yankee Ghani said an amazing thing: "Before leaving, I prayed to the Lord, swearing to only take money, not to kill one person, so we are about to succeed. "
Everyone was silent!
In fact, there are only two civilized races in this world, one is white skin and the other is Chinese.
Baipi’s Bible is reasonable. There are instructions in the Hadith that teach the world to be a good person. Of course, people are contradictory. Baipi does a lot of bad things while reading the Bible, but there are also such things as Mr. David in the Southeast House. No one has done anything bad to the Chinese, and Yankee Ghani does not plan to kill.
Now that he has said so, the matter is settled.
They saw that there were no Chinese boats in this area of the sea, so they went back the same way and left by boat.
The next night, the big ship set sail and ran towards the settlement!
All as they expected, they first raided with a small boat. Ten people were on board. Yankee Ghani personally led the team. The two guards in the quay area were caught off guard and were caught by them, but they did not kill them.
The big ship was parked on the dock area, and the cannon was facing the road, staring at it.
Yankee Ghani smashed the warehouse open, and the rich aroma burst out, filled with newly harvested nutmeg!
Tropical area ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The nutmeg has matured, and it was ready for foreign trade.
Nothing to say, move!
The islanders were alarmed. They came with guns. Yankee Ghani said in Chinese: "Your people are in our hands. We didn't kill him!"
"We just ask for money and don't want to kill. You will lose if you lose. Don't open fire. Otherwise, if you lose the battle, you will lose your life, your women will be snatched by us, and the children will lose their parents and go to the orphanage!" Yelled Yankee Garney.
This red hair fan even understands the orphanage! The islanders looked at each other, and finally did not attack and let them carry.
Yankee Ghani's tactics were good. From start to finish, neither side had ever shot a single shot.
Hurrying to fill the ship with spices in the warehouse, the Golden Deer sailed away from the dock and headed for Luzon, ready to use the Kuroshio Current to reach America and return to its home in Europe!
The islanders went to the Big Island to report that the Chinese frigate was dispatched, but Yankee Ghani had escaped successfully!
