Chapter 80 The first intimate contact (first update, please recommend, please collect)
"Look, what is that..."

Suddenly, a sailor pointed at the sea and shouted in surprise.

As he shouted, everyone looked towards the surface of the sea. It turned out that there were several corpses floating on the surface of the sea. Under the starlight, it seemed that there were more corpses floating on the surface of the sea.

On the undulating sea, corpses drifted with the current like logs floating on the sea.

"This this……!"

Liu Kunpeng's expression changed slightly, but soon he heaved a long sigh again. They had all been on the battlefield, so naturally they knew where these corpses came from.

Why are there so many dead bodies?
This question does not seem to be serious. The most important question now is whether it is the Taiping army or the official army that controls the coast of Jiaxing.

However, it seems that this has no effect on them. Their trading partners are not limited to one side, just like what the owner said-a qualified arms dealer must sell arms to the warring parties, so that they can Torn down for a long time.

As usual, Chang Kun, who led a group of people, would always involuntarily look towards the sea, would he encounter a foreign ship?
But there seemed to be nothing on the sea.

A few months ago, after King Shi Wang Qiantui led troops to conquer Jiaxing, some foreign ships would always come to the seaside, bringing in gunpowder, muskets, and sometimes even artillery that the Taiping Army urgently needed.

For generals at all levels, it is a great achievement to be able to buy foreign guns, foreign guns and gunpowder from foreign brothers.

"If you can buy dozens of barrels of gunpowder from the foreign brothers, maybe you can be promoted to a brigade commander..."

While muttering to himself, suddenly, a shadow on the sea caught his attention, it was a boat!

Although Chang Kun was born inland, he is no stranger to sails, and the shadow of the boat is a Western boat.

"Yes, they are foreign brothers from the sea!"

Although he couldn't see the shape of the ship clearly, looking at the shape of the sail, Chang Kun happily said, since it is a foreign sail, it must be a foreign brother.

"Hurry up, Xu Youcai, hurry up and find a boat to row over and ask, where are the foreign brothers from? Ask them, are there any foreign guns, cannons, etc. on board, if not, gunpowder is fine! Let them bid... ..."

After receiving the order, Xu Youcai hurriedly yelled at several people to find a small wooden boat, lit a torch and rowed towards the sea, and Chang Kun also asked his subordinates to light the torch. For a while, the originally dark coast suddenly lit up.

"We have been found!"

The sudden light on the shore made Liu Kunpeng's heart tighten.

"Someone is here!"

Seeing a small boat coming from the shore, the sailors on the boat immediately took up their muskets and aimed at the torched boat like guarding against pirates. Seeing this scene, Li Fugui shouted.

"No one is allowed to shoot! Find out why they are here first."

Who is coming?
Is it the Qing army or the Taiping army?

Finally, when Li Fugui and the others saw the people on the boat clearly, his mood suddenly became extremely complicated—it was the Taiping Army!
Once upon a time, they also had such long hair!
"Are there foreign brothers from abroad on board?"

"That's right, that's right, we're ships from overseas, and we're here to do business with our brothers from the Taiping Army."

Standing at the bow, Liu Kunpeng replied.

"The goods on this ship are all the goods urgently needed by the brothers of the Taiping Army. Please let Brother You Lao pass the news on your behalf!"

……

From the moment he woke up, Wang Botao felt a little uneasy. He had always believed in this feeling. It was this feeling that he had escaped many times during the years of fighting in the South and North.

"Could it be that the Qing Yao from Hangzhou came here?"

But after thinking about it again, he felt that it was unlikely. After all, the soldiers and horses of Zhong Wang Qiansui and Attendant Wang Qiansui were in Zhejiang, and Hangzhou would not dare to kill them even if they had the heart of a bear.

But what is wrong?

Suddenly a soldier reported.A foreign brother came to trade by boat and asked to see the master.After listening to the report, Wang Botao felt a burst of relief and joy.

"Brother Yang came to the door in a big boat, and he must have brought a large number of foreign guns and cannons. Now we are going to show our face in front of the servant King Chitose..."

But then his brows were wrinkled again - no money!
"Scribe Zhao, tell me, what should I do about this?"

Wang Botao called the scribe and complained.

"The spring silkworms haven't come out yet, there is no silk, no tea, what can I exchange guns with the foreign brothers?"

In fact, it's not that there is no money, but that all the money paid has been handed over to the holy treasury.It seems that this feeling of unreliability in my heart is directed at today's matter.

"Master, what's the big deal? It's really not good. If you let the holy soldiers fight against the rebellious autumn wind, naturally everything will come."

Zhao Shi'an said directly.

"Well, that's the only way to go. Don't let any of those big dogs go."

Anyway, that's how money and food come from.

"Foreign brothers traveled thousands of miles to come to my kingdom of heaven... oh!"

When Wang Botao saw Mir for the first time, he felt his legs go limp.

Damn, there are foreign brothers here!
It's clearly the Yasha in the drama!
No wonder they are called ghosts, they really look like ghosts, their skin is black, as if a layer of ink has been splashed on them, and only the teeth and the whites of the eyes are white in a mouth, if it is not in broad daylight, it is really I thought it was a little ghost running from King Yama.

What's that nigger's mouth gurgling?
Just when Wang Botao was taken aback by the black man in front of him, he suddenly heard someone beside him say to him:
"Tail Mir wishes the general good health and victories in every battle."

Hearing this, Wang Botao calmed down a little, and only then did he see a Chinese standing beside the black foreign devil.Seeing the Chinese Wang Botao restored the general's self-confidence,
"Who are you and what are you here for?"

Of course, this was said to Liu Kunpeng, he didn't want to take a look at Mir at all, this person looked too weird.

"Mir Taipan came here, of course, to help the holy soldiers of the kingdom of heaven, general, our ship has brought thousands of muskets, thousands of barrels of gunpowder, and hundreds of barrels of gunpowder,..."

"what!"

Wang Botao said in surprise.

"There are so many!"

Surprised, he said hastily.

"Oh, this is really urgent! You tell Daban Mir, you don't have to worry about the money, even if the money is insufficient, we will use raw silk to make up for it, and the price will be fair..."

When Wang Botao was speaking, Liu Kunpeng kept talking to Mir in Portuguese, seemingly translating, but in fact it was just chatting casually. After Mir had something to say, Liu Kunpeng said.

"The general misunderstood. Taipan Mir said that we came here to trade, not for money and silk, but for another business..."
