A sharp sword was set powerfully on the mast of the pirate ship, and the arrows were still trembling and making sounds.
"Hiss~"
Sterling looked at this scene and couldn't help but take a breath.
This arrow is so accurate. The key is that you can tell at a glance that the bow used is a strong bow, and its range is farther than ordinary muskets.
ӡWe donӮt mean any harm, we just want you to replenish fresh water and buy some food here. If you are willing to let us have a rest, we will be grateful and we are willing to pay money~ӱ
Sterling came to the bow of the ship and shouted loudly in Daming dialect, which he was not very proficient in.
He is proficient in many languages ??and is learning the language and characters of the Ming Dynasty in order to facilitate business with the people of the Ming Dynasty.
The most profitable business in Europe at present is undoubtedly selling goods from the far East to European countries for sale, and then selling the white slaves from European countries to the Ming Dynasty.
Learning the language and writing of the Ming Dynasty is obviously very helpful for doing business.
Hearing Sterling's words, Huang Chong, Li Meng and others were also slightly stunned.
These vicious-looking pirates actually said that they had no ill intentions and just wanted to replenish fresh water and make some supplies?
Only ghosts believe you.
"I don't care what your purpose is~"
"What I want to tell you is that this is an overseas colony that belongs to the Ming Empire. We are citizens of the Ming Empire and subjects of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. If you want to seize our golden island, we are willing to accompany you to the end."
Huang Chong held his bow and arrow, looked at the pirates coldly and issued a warning.
"We know that this is a colony belonging to the Ming Empire, and we have no intention of harming anything here."
"We simply want to replenish fresh water, buy some food, and rest on the island for a day. We are willing to pay the money and give it to you now."
Sterling looked at the Ming people in front of him.
Although there were only a dozen people, they were all tall and strong, wearing fine armor, carrying muskets, holding bows and arrows, and had swords at their waists. They even had a horse.
WhatӮs more important is the aura exuded by these dozen people, who are very confident and proud. Even though there are only a dozen people, it feels like they are facing thousands of troops.
This is the Ming Dynasty soldier.
Confident and powerful, spanning the four seas and sweeping across all directions, the Ottoman Empire needed the whole of Europe to unite to deal with it. The Ming Empire, with its 200,000 troops, had to cede territory and pay compensation and beg for mercy.
Sterling waved his hand, and soon several pirates came to Huang Chong, Li Meng and others in a small boat with a large box of silver coins. They opened the box, revealing that it was full of Ming Dynasty silver coins. Young Master There are said to be tens of thousands.
"Check it~"
Huang Chong nodded and said to Li Meng beside him.
"Yes~"
Li Meng hurriedly saluted and replied, quickly checking the silver coins in the box and confirming that there were no problems. They were silver coins produced by the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty. They are now not only circulating throughout the Ming Dynasty, but also following the footsteps of the people of the Ming Dynasty around the world. became a common currency.
With its excellent quality, high silver content, exquisite casting, and difficulty in imitation, it has become the most popular currency in various countries around the world.
Even carrying banknotes issued by the First Bank of Ming Dynasty has become popular in countries around the world. After all, it is not very convenient to carry silver coins in many cases, but it is much more convenient to carry banknotes.
"No problem, the amount is more than 10,000 taels of silver. These pirates are really rich. They spend tens of thousands of taels of silver at a time, just to replenish fresh water and food."
After Li Meng finished the inspection, he licked his tongue slightly and said.
This money came too fast. I just allowed the other party to replenish fresh water and sell some food to the other party. I could actually get tens of thousands of taels of silver in one go.
You must know that tens of thousands of taels of silver is definitely not a small amount, and its purchasing power is amazing.
"What do you think?"
Huang Chong looked at the silver in the box, then at the pirates waiting on the boat, and asked the people around him.
"You are a bastard if you don't make money if you have money, not to mention just replenishing fresh water and selling some food to them, it's nothing."He couldn't even eat enough noodles, so he had no choice but to embark on the road of no return as a pirate. "
”°Obviously, he was trying to gain sympathy. In the words of Daming Green Forest, we are good people, and we were forced to take this path.
"That is to say, Mr. Huang, you don't look down on us, but look down on us brothers. You treat us as friends, entertain us with good wine and meat, and are willing to help us. We are really grateful."
"Come here, bring up another box of gold and silver jewelry to give to Daming's brother."
Sterling seemed guilty, talking nonsense. As he finished speaking, someone soon came over carrying a large box. When he opened it, it was filled with gold, silver and jewelry.
"This, this is impossible~"
Huang Chong couldn't understand this Sterling. He was obviously a European pirate, but he felt like a green forest hero.
"If you treat me as a friend, you will accept this thing."
牺如 75zw.com 牺如。 "I can also see that you have been here not long, and you are almost the same as us. They are poor people. The docks here are not like docks and the houses are not like houses. They are completely different from some Ming colonies I have been to."
"Like Hong Kong, it is very prosperous, with many high-rise buildings and a prosperous and busy port."
"I know brothers, you need money, but I don't have anything else. This is a business without capital. There are all these frivolous things. As long as I can help you brothers, it will be worth it."
Sterling seems to be very drunk, but Daming speaks very well and has a deep understanding of Daming's culture. If you didn't look at his appearance, you would definitely think that he is working in the green forest in Daming.
When Huang Chong, Li Meng and others heard these words, they all immediately felt that Sterling and the others were really good friends. They only entertained them with a meal of food and wine, but they were so generous and gave them a box of gold and silver treasures. come over.
"Okay, I, Huang Chong, have decided to make your friend!"
After hearing this, Huang Chong proudly picked up the big porcelain bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"Haha, so refreshing~"
Sterling suddenly became even happier, and he took a sip of the wine.
Mi He Mi. "It's true that when you meet a close friend, a thousand cups are too little. Come on, drink~"
