- ?
Cai's Tianship Division is the largest trading market in the South Seas, known as the home of everything, and the shell of rare treasures from all over the world.
French 32-pound heavy artillery, the latest thunderbolt trigger "perfume bottle", Portuguese seven-masted ship, high-purity opium, Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao, Ming Dynasty fighting color porcelain, strong black slaves from Fort San Miguel ¡
Silver, pepper, ivory, jade, silk. Moreover, as long as you can name it, Tianbo can find it on several continents.
The Tianbo Division covers an area of ??only three to four hectares, but the throughput of ships coming and going is one-third of that of Guangdong!
There are often jaw-dropping large-scale transactions here. Last year, a hand-painted fragment of the Qur'an was sold for a full 1.8 million taels of silver. It also allowed Cai's Tianbo Division to have a great reputation that is well-known both at home and abroad.
The Tian Ship Division is located in the east of the Ryukyu Islands. It consists of a total of 80 "Chinese ships" {Manila galleons}.
Tianbo Division is run by four generations of the family of Huodinggong Cai. It has a history of more than 100 years since the former emperor was ruled by Jian Emperor. In the past few years, it has already declined. Here, this person single-handedly pushed the government to establish the Guangdong Thirteen Teeth Shop, responsible for foreign tea porcelain, raw silk, and wool trade. It has flourished for more than 20 years.
The fall of Guangdong this time, the urgency of the situation was beyond everyone's imagination, but Cai Qian's reaction was the fastest. The Nanyang pirates, about three days after the incident, set off one after another, rushing to this rare treasure from all over the world. The shell, Tianbo Division
? The Duk Ling was floating on the sea, and in the cabin, there were old treasures. I introduced this gathering to Li Yan, a strong competitor of the Red Flag Gang.
"Treasure ship king Lin Ajin, a giant bandit on the Xijiang River, his ancestors were shipbuilders for several generations, and he has a lot of ship plans handed down since the end of the Han Dynasty. The lucky boat of the Sanbao eunuch is said to have been designed by the ancestors of the Lin family. Lin Ajin is a brainy person, and in the past two years he bought a lot of rare things from the red-haired man to renovate his own boat."
"Yizhu Zhu Ben, there is nothing to say about this man. The size of his subordinates is one size smaller than that of Hongqi, but the staff is quite mixed. There are people from India, Annan, coastal islands, and even Americans."
"The most troublesome thing is Zhang He. Our old enemy has no fewer men than us. A while ago, the British attacked Annan, which made him stand out. I heard that the artillery bombarded King Annan to death, but he was fine. Even worse, he opened an altar to set up incense, and in front of thousands of people, he single-handedly smashed a British warship, to be honest, Madam didn't have this ability in her lifetime."
"Nowadays, it is widely rumored in Nanyang that this demon is the number one person in Nanyang, regardless of the size of the power or the small number of people.
Li Yanquan didn't take it seriously, but looked through the transaction records of Cai's Tianbo Company in the past two years. Of course, it was obvious that others could see it.
"This Cai Qian is not simple."
Li Yan investigated the life of this "big boss" in many ways. Can't help but sigh.
Old Gu also grinned: "That's right, for the government, he is the agent of the Nanyang pirates, and for the pirates, he is the money owner who doesn't want to tear his face. , full of legitimate armaments. I heard that Buster occupied Guangzhou City, and the princes and ministers in the city had to rely on his stewards to make peace in order to save their lives. Good guy! He takes all three sides."
Zha Xiaodao was trimming his nails, and interjected: "According to what you said, Cai Qian has such a face with Hongmaozi, even if Guangdong fell, he would not be injured. Why did he take the lead and kill all the Nanyang pirates?" Called here, is it possible that he is really a charity business?"
"That's not what you said." Old Gu retorted: "No matter how prosperous the business of his Thirteenth Dental Firm is, it depends on the face of the government. If the government says to shut you down, you have nothing to do. I guess it's a blessing. Lin has put a lot of pressure on Cai Qian, let him host it."
Zha Xiaodao shook his head, not agreeing with Lao Gu's opinion.
Li Yan didn't speak until he heard this: "Old Gu, that's how you say it. This gathering, we want to fight for the leader. What monsters, righteous pigs, treasure ship kings, stay aside, this Cai Pulling is the biggest hurdle, right?"
"I don't think it's enough."
Lao Gu replied without hesitation: "If you want to be the leader of the bandits, your fist is the first. Cai Qian is indeed very powerful, and the crew he employs is no less than ours, but there is one thing, his people are all Good people with families and mouths, running boats to earn a living, and those of us who put our heads on our belts, have no choice.??. "
"Furthermore, Cai Qian is a businessman, with cargo ships in his hands and few guns. Over the years, the stalls have been too large, and he has more than enough self-protection. If he wants to compete for the leadership, he may not have enough strength."
Li Yan smiled and said, "You really think so?"
Old Gu nodded: "Decades ago, the government clearly stipulated that private construction of two-masted ships is not allowed. Let's take this as a fart. Cai Qian is in business, so he dare not. Brother Tianbao, think about it, then Cai Qian Qian Jiantian is following the government, and the government is not an idiot, so how could it allow a dental dealer to become big? As far as I know, the government is staring at Cai Qian¡¯s dental companies and shipyards in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, to death.¡±
"The government can keep an eye on the Thirteenth Yahang, so what do you say" Li Yan was still laughing: "Can the people in the government keep an eye on the Tianship Department, which is floating on the edge of the Ryukyu Islands and has been running for a century?"
Lao Gu was taken aback.
"To put it another way, anyone can use this businessman who has the right and left, and no one takes it seriously. Therefore, Cai Qian is doing business when the Five Banners are fighting for the leader. Shi Niang and Zhang He are strangled, and Cai Qian is doing business. The government To suppress bandits, Cai Qian is still in business"
Li Yan sighed, and basically confirmed his thoughts in his heart. He pointed to the old red flag leaders who came with him this time:
"You guys"
"The authorities are lost."
The long-browed youth said with a sigh.
This is a black-sail wide boat, more than 60 meters long, and the crew patrols everywhere, even wearing the equipment of Annan's army.
The dark-skinned young man with long eyebrows has chapped lips and looks haggard, except for a pair of deep and bright eyes.
General Annan, who once crushed a Vasco battleship with one hand, was caught in the gunfire and survived, and after his empress died, he is recognized as the first person with supernatural powers in Nanyang.
The demon thief Zhang He.
"Don't talk about Cai Qian, I asked you to check the latest movements of the Red Flag Gang, have you checked?"
Zhang He asked.
The subordinates nodded and said, "It's not bad at all." (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
