Chapter 721 God Bless
There was no intention of letting these Dutch people go.

In other words, the Ming Empire represented by Zheng Chenggong let them go, but the Black Flag Navy, which had a black hall in Keelung Port, didn't want them to go.

The policy of the Slave Division has changed.

Originally, the price of third-class slaves was expensive.

Now all the slave owners in the Black Flag Qing Dynasty are racking their brains to find ways to replace their first- and second-class slaves with third-class slaves, and the prices of third-class slaves are rising even more.

The Qing Dynasty merchant ship bound for Keelung, Taiwan, set off a month ago. The price of a strong slave had already soared to 150 taels just after the decree was issued.

Now maybe it has risen to 200 taels.

It's funny to say that these third-class slaves, whose values ​​have skyrocketed, are often treated better than first- and second-class slaves in the hands of slave owners.

After all, there is no need to pay wages, and after killing someone, the most the Slave Division can do is fine him, and he won't be able to impose a penalty on him.

After raising them and serving them for decades, they can still enslave their next generation.

The only fly in the ointment is that his descendants have the opportunity to become free people.

Otherwise, there are slave owners who have already thought about it.

Just like breeding animals, pair up strong and healthy slaves, and the offspring will be healthy. The more offspring there are, the more slaves there will be. It is a good business to have long blessings and a prosperous family.

Liaodong was already fond of private fights, and even more fond of wrestling.

Nowadays, slave fighting is a good show everywhere. There is a fighting arena in the business hall. The woman with her arms exposed and wearing cool clothes looks at the blood and flesh spattering of the slaves beating each other in the center of the circle. It is quite exciting. Let's do pornographic gambling together, and the profits will be huge.

Therefore, overseas slave trading has quickly become a first-class good business.

It's just that the new policy has just been announced, and local control is strict. It is difficult to convert exports to domestic sales, or it is difficult to sell them to Liaodong, where the slave industry is the most prosperous, and it cannot withstand inspection.

Border areas are either bitter cold or plateau.

The Western Region was too far, and slaves could be obtained, but the distance to transport them to the capital was enough to greatly reduce their profits and cause a lot of losses.

Only shipping is best.

The bold and brainless people are thinking of exporting to domestic sales, while the smart people are already thinking about how to maximize the profits when transporting slaves by sea.

"Sir, the boat warned for a long time behind, but the Chinese didn't catch up. The captains of the company in Fuzhou, Ming Dynasty"

Cornelis, the former governor of the Dutch East India Company in Taiwan, stood on the crowded deck, with a look of sadness on his face: "They want to chase us, but we can't run away no matter what. The company's fleet has already been waiting outside. It’s dead, but the giant ship keeps them from getting close.”

He surrendered and gave away all his property in exchange for the opportunity to keep ships for the evacuation of all Dutch on the island.

Of course, all the weapons on the ship and the Dutch soldiers were stripped off.

Now two large ships and several small boats were crowded with people.

On the entire island of Taiwan, the Dutch permanently stationed between 5000 and [-] people, including about [-] Dutch soldiers. They fought with the Zheng army before, or were simply bombarded for a month, with little loss. Now the total number is [-]. More than seven hundred people.

There were so many people that I managed to squeeze through, but the sailing was very slow.

"Sir, it is not your fault that Relanze was lost. The Ming Empire's army far exceeds ours in number, with battle fleets and extremely sophisticated equipment."

Cornelis waved his hand. He was not worried about being liquidated if he went back. He was just concerned about the money.

He has a way to save his life.

And I got it from Zheng Chenggong’s department.

Zheng Chenggong's troops went south. This was also the first time that an organized Ming army equipped with brown basses and shunwuguns went south, and poured firepower on the Dutch.

Zhu Youjian still overestimated the missionaries.

They still focus on missionary work, stealing something just along the way, and Europe is far away from the Daming Sea. Unless it is a particularly important matter, they will not go back. At most, they will send some European documents and files to use their words.

Even if the Europeans see the drawings but not the actual objects, it will take at least three to five years for them to be widely used.

But the Dutch in Cornelis are different.They've been shot.

They also observed it closely during the surrender. Zheng Chenggong even called a group of people to perform some archery and artillery skills in order to deepen their fear of this battle and avoid the Dutch causing trouble when passing through Luzon.

Among them, the shunwu gun and flying thunder cannon frightened Cornelis the most. After watching Zheng Jun show off his power, he firmly remembered their appearance.

I thought that if I go back and carve a new skill, I will definitely avoid death.

Just as I was thinking about it, a sound of exclamation suddenly came to my ears, and then the noise on the ship came.

"Shut up! Shut up! What happened! What did you see!?"

"It's a ship! Chinese human ship! No! Not just one! It's many ships! Lord Governor! We are surrounded!"

"what!?"

The lookout hand on the observation deck issued a warning, and Cornelis was so startled that he quickly picked up his telescope and looked around.

There were about fifty or sixty ships of various sizes, all with black sails, heading straight for the Dutch fleet!

"Sea! Pirates!?"

Pirates don't fly the skull and crossbones flag, but the flag of any country as a disguise, unless they are so powerful and powerful that they are not afraid of warships.

These black-flag ships are unprecedentedly consistent. The sails are all black. Although there are no patterns, the color and the menacing appearance clearly indicate that they are not here to make friends.

Sure enough, the clipper sent for negotiation was immediately thrown off the hook, and guns were fired on the black flag ship as a deterrent. The small ship was unable to resist and was quickly controlled.

"Stop the ship, don't resist, we will try to negotiate."

All the weapons had been surrendered by Zheng Chenggong, and there were no knives and forks left. They were surrounded and couldn't escape. What else could they do?

However, there was no chance for negotiation.

The people on the black flag ship didn't talk nonsense to Cornelis at all. Seeing that they were quite well-behaved, they jumped on the board and boarded the ship. The sailors in black came on board with swords and guns and ordered everyone to kneel down.

Cornelis understood Chinese, but was slow to respond.

"Oh!"

The sailor in black was ruthless and vicious. When a gunshot was fired, the former governor let out a low cry and collapsed to the ground on the spot.

The shooter ended up eating a big kick.

"What are you doing!? What's your damn brain! Why did you shoot! At least 50 taels of silver are gone, you know? You're still a boss. If you take it back, you may have other uses. You! You are really that one. !”

Captain Black Flag pointed, looked back and saw that Cornelis was still alive, and quickly called for someone to treat him.

But when the Dutch on the side saw that their governor had been shot, they immediately exploded!Some rushed to grab weapons in an attempt to resist, or others cried and hugged each other in panic, feeling at a loss what to do.

The already crowded deck erupted in commotion, the crowd squirmed, some people fell into the sea, and wails and screams resounded throughout the sea.

Then there was a burst of gunfire, and the black-clad sergeants on the surrounding ships fired their guns. The Dutch people on the ship suddenly collapsed, and the screams and howls became louder. The Dutch people in the bottom cabin were also horrified when they came up to check.

Many Dutch people were so frightened that they jumped into the sea. Suddenly, nets were dropped from the surrounding boats.

A large area of ​​people fell down, and the remaining Dutch people suddenly became more honest. They knelt down to beg for their lives and prayed for God's blessing.

"Kneel down! Kneel down and I won't kill you! You bunch of idiots! How dare you show disobedience in front of grandpa when you were released alive by the Ming army!"

"You need to be trained in the future!"

Captain Black Flag, who had ordered people to be treated before, was even more angry. He was so frightened that he jumped into the sea because of the crowd.

Climbing up along the rope in twos and twos, he brandished a Japanese knife and picked up a few Dutchmen who fell to the ground and chopped them randomly: "Dog slave! Dog slave! Damn it! Kill! Kill all those who were shot and injured! Not killing is not enough." To scare these bold barbarians! Wait a moment! Don’t kill this one! Keep this one! Let’s treat him!”
