2095 Earl of Feng
It was snowing outside the house, snow was flying, but the heating inside the house was as warm as spring.
This is the height of the Fortress of Fatagusta in Cyprus. It turned out to be the official residence of Pashas, but has now been changed to the residence of senior officials of the South China Empire. When the emperor arrived, it naturally became a palace.
This place is still in the front line, comfort is second, safety is first, and here is condescending, you can look at the sea and understand the surrounding situation.
The facilities inside are complete, including bedroom, living room, living room, dining room, study room, etc., heating is no problem.
The fuel of the heating is coal. Due to the strong transportation capacity of sea ships, the amount of coal is sufficient, so the heating is very warm.
Looking through the sea through the glass window, you can see that even in winter, the waterway is still busy, with ships coming and going, including merchant ships and warships, with a large number!
Mr. David also lived in the palace with the will, wearing a home costume, watching the book "Spring and Autumn", and then he heard someone shouting outside the house: "Your Majesty is here!"
So he put down the book, stood up, and smiled.
Yan Changwu entered the house, and Mr. David stepped forward and said, "I..."
Before he could do anything, Yan Changwu stepped forward and helped him and said, "Your injury is healed, there is no need to be too polite!"
The close servant next to him looked at their actions and felt envious. This is the treatment of his favorite minister!
You should know that Yan Changwu took office as the emperor and his majesty became increasingly popular. His former brothers had to distance themselves from him, but they were consistent with Mr. David.
Mr. David was injured, and Yan Changwu stayed in Cyprus for him--this was a risk. If the enemy battleship formation returns and we fail, he will be trapped on the isolated island.
However, Yan Changwu stayed without hesitation and delayed his return to China, declaring that it was for Mr. David's recovery so that he could recover faster.
Later, people counted that Mr. David was one of the thirteen abnormalities in his life. After he was injured, he was not easy to move, so he took a Clipper to Cyprus, where there was a large naval hospital. He was admitted in time and stayed until the second year. After the Spring Festival, until Mr. David got better.
The two of them sat down in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window and looked at the sea and snow. Yan Changwu asked, "Hissing Marshal, how are you recovering?"
"It's great, let me follow His Majesty back to the army!" Mr. David said eagerly: "I want to divide the pork! If I don't return to the army, they will all be divided."
"Hahaha!" Yan Changwu laughed: "I can't hide it from you!"
"The cruise ship is dispatched with heavy loads, and it is pressed on the waterline when returning to the flight. Is it still a heavy load? Isn't this an old job or something?" Mr. David is such a veteran, he pretended to be regretful and said: "I lost, I lost. Once I don't become the Marshal of the Navy, I won't make any payment!"
Yan Changwu's laughter became louder, and he pointed his finger and said, "You, you are all the top moguls in China, and you still care about this little money!"
Mr. David was Yan Changwu's white gloves. He mainly dumped the old three (silk tea and porcelain) and the new three (sweet, tobacco and wine) through Egypt to the white skin and Baotou guys. He also had a huge gain. He sold the white skin to Baotou guys, and sold the Baotou guys to the white skin. He turned his left hand to the right hand and the right hand to the left hand, and then sold the white women to Asia, most of which were sold to two China. Every country of Chinese primary school followers had quotas, among which the Japanese bought white women at a price of ten times that of China!
The profit is extremely huge, and it is impossible for him to take it alone. The big profit is Yan Changwu, but on the surface, Mr. David did all the bad things. So, for such fortune stars, who else can Yan Changwu support him if he doesn't support him?
If Yan Changwu shines brightly and is like the sky, Mr. David is the dark spot on the sun, and if Yan Changwu has anything wrong, people will say that it is Mr. David's fault, it is all his fault. He deceived the king and was a great treacherous minister, isn't it?
Yan Changwu personally introduced the recent military situation. Yes, the South China Navy changed its post to a pirate army and launched a large-scale pirate operation to Europe. After succeeding, it transported spoils to the rear.
They blocked the coasts and ports, ransacked merchant ships, attacked weak defenses, snatched wealth and population, killed all those who dared to resist, burned towns, and did everything they could!
This was no difficulty for them, because the South China Navy and the Pirate Army were two brands and one set of troops. The older generation of naval personnel had not yet retired, and they were the pirates who turned into naval forces. These old thieves were all promoted to high-ranking officials, and they were still stronger when they did bad things. They charged forward, which led to the young subordinates' rapid turn into evil and become new pirates.
The white skin that joins is not a good bird, such as Admiral Cabot, who had been running at the African dock for a while before joining, and had great experience in selling black slaves. He had a lot of experience in how to get a boat to load more people, and could make the best use of the cabin space without letting the black slaves die. Now he is naturally familiar with the old business.
It is conceivable that these guys do bad things, in Yan Changwu's proud words: "Haireding is like a child compared to my guys!"
Heiding, the Ottoman pirate king, the red-bearded Barbarossa Heiding, was a pirate in his early years, but later became the sultan of Algiers. He continued to attack Christian ships, occupy towns, and attack Christian settlements around the Mediterranean. His name was enough to make the bravest people in Europe look bloodless.
But compared with his Chinese counterparts, he is really low-level because his pirate fleet has small tonnage, poor firepower, and low personnel quality.
The Chinese pirate fleet used a large number of cruise ships. They had strong firepower and fast speeds. The officers and soldiers on the ship had first-class quality. They controlled the entire Mediterranean and attacked the coast of Italy, France, and Spain, with unprecedented piracy.
There are only more than a hundred pirate ships in Heiding, and the ships are generally small and not many large ships.
The Chinese pirates have more than a hundred cruise ships and dozens of battleships as backing, and Heileding is incomparable to them!
No matter how powerful Heiding is, at most he is a scattered man. He mostly works along the North African coast with the Italian coast. Chinese pirates blocked important seaside ports such as Toulon and Marseille in France, as well as Barcelona and Magara in Spain (these are important ports in Spain), and even blocked the Strait of Gibraltar (the throat of the Mediterranean Sea from the Atlantic Ocean)!
Yan Changwu talked about their achievements: "We grabbed three million silver dollars, captured 162 ships, and transported 80,000 white skins. Fifty thousand white women were all transported back to China, and there were 30,000 male white skins. We sold them to Baotou, Persians, A San and Japanese!"
"Fifty thousand white women! That's great!" Mr. David whistled.
As for selling the white-skinned male slave to Baotou guys?
Mr. David nodded in understanding. Even in the war years, the trade between the South China Empire and the warring parties had not been interrupted, and no one would be unable to get along with money.
Although the Chinese pirates blocked Barcelona, Spain, when the fleet full of Chinese cargo sailed to the shore, the Chinese pirates would let it go.
Those determined patriots in Spain will pay silver dollars and then take the goods ashore, while Chinese pirates will even escort the Spaniards to inspect the goods and get them treated as VIP!
"We are still very professional!" Yan Changwu said, revealing the gentle smile of the pirate leader!
Chapter completed!
