Chapter 96
The Liuxiang Merchant Fleet in the distance has two escort ships, Junk ships, which are not big, each loaded with ten artillery pieces.

There are not many sailors on board, each with more than a hundred people.

Importantly, they never imagined that they would be attacked.

But fortunately, all the sailors on board were sailors who had been wandering at sea for a long time. While ordering to fight back, they sent messages to let the merchant ship speed up and try to get rid of the opponent.

But Zheng Zhilong came prepared, how could he allow them to escape easily.

The pursuit began immediately, and the guns were fired during the process.The merchant ship full of cargo was not fast at first, but it didn't take long before it was surrounded.

During the pursuit, one merchant ship was sunk by Zheng Zhilong's warship, leaving six merchant ships and two warships remaining.

The side of one of the warships was also hit by artillery, and it was pouring water into it. After a while, the hull tilted a little, and it seemed that it would not last long.The commander of the ship raised the white flag and decided to surrender, and the other ship followed suit and raised the white flag.

There were almost no casualties on both sides. Zheng Zhilong sent a fleet to slowly approach and took over two warships and seven merchant ships.

They are all part-time workers, what are they doing?

"Brother, what should we do with these people?" Zheng Zhihu ran to Zheng Zhilong and asked after guarding the other party's sailors and boatmen.

Zheng Zhilong instinctively wanted to say that Shen He should be killed, but after thinking about it again, he felt that it was inappropriate.

He is now a guerrilla general who maintains peace at sea, how can he do such a substandard thing as killing and surrendering?

"Give them a boat and let them go."

"Here, big brother. This way our looting will be exposed!"

"What looting? We are fighting smuggling at sea! We are the decent Ming Navy! We have a certificate! If you dare to talk nonsense in the future, I will beat you!" Zheng Zhilong was furious when he heard that, and reprimanded Zheng Zhihu with his eyes wide open.

"Yes, yes, brother! Don't be angry, there is proof, there is proof! Hehe" Zheng Zhihu shrank his neck and left Zheng Zhilong's boat with a smile.

Zheng Zhihu ordered people to dismantle all the usable things on the opponent's warship, leaving only the necessary survival supplies, and then ordered people to control the remaining six merchant ships, and followed the large force to kill them back in a mighty manner.

"Is the cargo checked?" On the way back, Zheng Zhilong asked Zheng Zhihu who walked into the cabin with a smile.

"Hey! Brother, the inventory is over! Most of them are pepper, sumac, agarwood and other spices, a total of five boats!"

"Is there another boat?"

"Silver! The cabin is full of boxes! Open it up, good guy! It's all white silver, at least 8 to [-] taels! Liu Xiang will be in pain this time."

"Which ship's guns sank that merchant ship?"

"This, my boat hit it, it was just accidental."

"Well. Yes, there is no reward for those of you on board this time out to sea."

"No! Brother!" Zheng Zhihu called out bitterly.

"Call me General!"

"No, General."

Zheng Zhilong was very happy. It's not that he has never done robbery before, nor has he never seen so much money.These people, to put it mildly, are called maritime merchants with armed forces, but they are actually a group of pirates who know how to do business.Don't be too casual about grabbing a merchant ship or something.

But like this time, the robbery is so righteous and dignified.

First time.

Cool.

I want to grab it.

He was happy, but Liu Xiang, who was robbed by him, was not happy.

Looking at the subordinates who had fled back from defeat, Liu Xiangxiang's nose was almost crooked.

"What certificate do you think they have?"

"Yes, Mr. Xiang. Zheng Zhihu said that the imperial court gave them some private pass and let them grab it casually." The subordinate looked at Liu Xiang timidly with blue eyes, it was Zheng Zhihu who beat him.

"Private certificate? Just grab it?" Liu Xiang muttered, frowning.It took a long time to react.

"Old mother Diou, is it a private plunder certificate?"

"Yes, yes! Privateer certificate!"

Liu Xiang fell silent again.

It's not easy.

He has been living overseas for a long time, so he naturally knows the benefits of a privateer certificate.

He didn't know why the court issued the privateer certificate to Zheng Zhilong, but he knew that his former sworn brother would become more and more powerful.This is how to do?Right now, he just lost a few shipments, and if he continues to develop like this, he will be wiped out sooner or later.

No, I have to find someone to inquire about it.

After returning to Quanzhou, Zheng Zhilong counted the goods and silver on board and made a list.They were ordered to be sent to the people of Global Commerce, and the people of Global Commerce bought them at half the market price, and then shipped them to the Nanjing headquarters of Global Commerce.

This was what Zhu Youjian had discussed with him at the beginning. All the looted goods were purchased by Global Commerce and Trading, and the price was half of the market price.The purchase at this price is equivalent to a [-]-[-] split.

Half of the profits are given to the court, and he keeps the half for what he should do.

In Nanjing City, shopkeeper Li has been staying here for more than a month.

Yes, it's shopkeeper Li who sells stockings.

His real name is Li Jinbo.

He is taking people to receive the goods from Quanzhou.

More than a month ago, he brought a dozen capable men to Nanjing City under orders.

First, I inspected the flagship store of Universal Premium in Nanjing.

The development of the flagship store in Nanjing is very good, and it is not in vain compared with the main store in Beijing.

In the rich and prosperous places in the south of the Yangtze River, the trend of extravagance is more serious.Of course, there are many rich people.Compared with the capital city, here is a little more luxurious and rich, and a little less gold and iron horse.

This extravagance is reflected in various aspects such as basic necessities of life.

Rich people build palaces, raise concubines, eat and dress like princes and nobles.

In terms of diet, I have changed from eating enough to eating well.Needless to say, delicacies from mountains and seas have become the fashion that people are vying for to eat exquisitely and oddly.

In terms of clothing, such as emerald bead crowns, dragon and phoenix costumes, which are only worn by queens and princesses, by this time, these rich people have no scruples at all.

Needless to say, all kinds of gardens have sprung up.There are all kinds of exquisite furniture inside, rosewood, eucalyptus, ebony, and acacia wood. From wood to workmanship, they are extremely expensive and delicate, costing tens of thousands of dollars.

Later, the eyes of the rich turned to the antique market, especially calligraphy and painting antiques.

And Nanjing, as the remaining capital, was once the capital.

It is the center of all this prosperity.

If you don’t believe me, just take a walk along the Qinhuai River at night. There are painted boats, surrounded by railings, decorated with emerald gauze, with tasseled horn lanterns hanging on both sides. There are also young musicians on board, even if they are ugly.While decorating with lanterns and festoons, while dancing and advocating, it is endless.

Qinhuai is famous, Yangzhou is thin.

rich.

very nice.

This is what Li Jinbo has seen and heard in the past month.He had never seen this when he was a child growing up in Beizhili, and he almost couldn't help but take the silver and go to the painting boat to be cool and unrestrained.

In the past month, nothing but envy of the happy lives of these rich people.

He is still building a warehouse, waiting to store the spoils seized by Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong didn't keep him waiting.

Once the goods are delivered, the wholesale distribution of imported goods will be able to operate.

Zhu Youjian saw the scene described by Li Jinbo.

Think of the painted boats parked on the Qinhuai River.

In ancient times, rich people sat on painted boats to have fun, and later rich people drove yachts to have fun.

Same tune with the same effect.
