If the Dutch in the Age of Discovery were pure merchants, the French were ambitious conquerors, and the Spanish were outright robbers who were only willing to fight and plunder rather than do business, then the Portuguese don't seem to be much better.
At least this Portuguese kingdom, which has been independent from Spain for more than five hundred years, still seems to have a bit of Spanish gangsterism in it.
Yes, the Spaniards' first reaction when they see something good is to plunder. Compared with the Portuguese, they have a little more integrity. At least they are still half merchants and half thieves, with a little more cover-up, but,
If there is a big fat sheep who can snatch a handful without any consequences, their covering up is really like the last trace of gauze on a ****, it doesn't matter if you want it or not.
Just like now, even though Benson, the Roman aristocratic lady who is as proud as a little hen, really doesn't like her, he still wants to support her idea with both hands and feet raised.
This is a good place for pirates to sell their stolen goods! If you don't rob it, you will be sorry to the omnipotent God and to the sailors who have followed you for so long. If you miss such an opportunity to make a fortune, you will be meeting Satan.
of.
The only question is: "Can I beat it?"
When this question was raised, Grisha's somewhat delicate eyebrows also frowned slightly. Yes, there were no more than twenty soldiers around Grisha, and Benson's crew, although smaller than hers,
There are a few more soldiers, but the combat effectiveness is much lower. Just a ragtag group of forty or fifty going to a pirate's stolen goods market seems to have a slightly weaker strength.
Mi, that would be boring.
Jiang Laosan vaguely guessed what they wanted to do, and he was almost covered in cold sweat. Now he began to regret that he shouldn't have talked too much about the two taels of silver. Who are these people? Isn't it possible that they all have a habit of eating black things?
A pirate?
In a daze, Jiang Laosan even answered the noble lady's question in a somewhat confused manner. He would definitely not dare to lie, which was a mechanical answer. At this moment, his mind was completely away from these people.
Farther away, where would you dare to think about anything else?
"How about, Miss Grisha, you send someone to conduct reconnaissance first. As a woman, you won't arouse much suspicion. If there are many pirates, then forget it. If there are few, we will vote for you.
!" After listening to Jiang Laosan's answer, Benson considered asking Grisha.
"Why don't you send someone to find out the truth!" Grisha gave him a dissatisfied look. You are really a courageless Portuguese. You want to drink broth but you are afraid of being burned. How can such a good thing happen?
There was a commotion on the pier, interrupting their conversation. Jiang Laosan looked at the two people in front of him and his eyes rolled. Someone from the government was not here!
"Look at him, we still need to use him as a guide!" Grisha was stunned, swayed her waist, and walked out.
"You are not my boss, why should you order me!" Benson muttered, but sat down as he was told, staring at the Mingguo man in front of him, and began to ponder his own thoughts.
Grisha walked out of the cabin and looked towards the noisy dock, a look of joy suddenly appeared in her eyes. On the dock, a group of people walked towards their ship. The young nobleman in front was dressed like a gentleman.
It was her close friend Zhu Yunniang. The noisy voices came from the wharf coolies who were surrounding them and trying to recruit some work from them. Seeing the long line of people carrying boxes behind Zhu Yunniang, she was very surprised.
Sha's eyes were red and her heart was burning.
When she was in the empire, if she went out to play, she would look like this. Unfortunately, she hasn't had this feeling for a long time.
Fang Tong saw the men in green beside the nobles from a distance. Without any instructions, the sailors on the ship greeted him and greeted them. There were so many entourage boxes and so on. No need to think about it. This was his trip.
It's a noble person to pick up.
"The ship has already prepared rooms for a few noble people. We can set sail as soon as the noble people arrive!" Fang Tong easily found their masters among this group of people. Well, they are two very beautiful people.
master.
"Thank you!" Mrs. Liu gave a slight toothy smile, which made Fangtong dizzy. He had never seen this kind of appearance and this kind of demeanor even in the third lady who was the most favored by the master. This lady didn't know who it was.
The family members of the adults.
Over there, Zhu Yunniang and Grisha had already caught up and were chattering. Seeing the somewhat confused boat owner, Ms. Liu shook her head gently: "Let's set sail, don't be in a hurry, isn't there someone who hasn't arrived yet?
, this person is not here, we all have to wait!"
The sailors had already taken the box from the coolies and carried it up from the gangplank. It was not a normal day, and Fang Tong did not dare to let these people up who were not on the ship without permission. What if someone had unclean hands and feet and touched these guests?
It would be troublesome to carry things out, so let your own sailors do all the menial work.
However, the sailors were not professional coolies, and the work they did was a bit rough. While the two were talking, Fang Tong saw two of his men walking over the side of the ship carrying a box.
He staggered and fell to the ground with a thud.
The box in their hands collided with the ship's deck without any surprise. The lid of the box suddenly popped open, and dozens of fist-sized silver ingots fell out of the box. All the people on the ship seemed to be under a Taoist spell.
The body and technique are the same, everything is stagnant.
"How to do things!" Several people who looked like followers rushed over and scolded the sailors. Without the help of the sailors, they directly collected the fallen silver ingots and put them in the box.
"The owner of the ship has arranged a cabin for us. Let's put the money in our cabin. You guys, please guard it carefully and don't make any mistakes!"
"Yes, madam!" Several attendants responded in unison. They turned around, directed the sailors, carried the box, and walked towards the cabin.
This scene on the deck quickly spread on the ship. There were more than 20 large boxes placed there. The sailors were muttering secretly. The sailors who carried the boxes even moved according to their own instructions.
After passing the weight of the box and estimating the amount of silver in the box, they came to a conclusion that almost blinded their eyes. If all these boxes were filled with silver, Nima, next to this noble man
The amount of silver he brought amounted to more than one hundred thousand taels.
So no one became calm anymore, and the least calm person was of course Fang Tong. If possible, he would like to sail the boat immediately. Whoever put so much money on the boat would probably not be able to calm down anymore. No wonder he was first on the boat.
There are so many barbarians with guys here, I dare say, these people are purely acting as guards.
