Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 597

With more than 2000 ships going to sea, it is impossible to drive all the ships out at once.

the reason is simple.

For one thing, Datang does not have such a huge port that can handle so many ships.Even when gathering in the country, not all the ships are concentrated in Guangzhou and Hainan.

There are also many ships that depart from ports such as Lianyungang and Zhejiang in later generations.

Thanks to Li Shimin's foresight, he saw the huge benefits and benefits brought by maritime trade, so he strengthened the training of the navy and the construction of the port.His ambition is in Australia and the Americas, and he wants to become a real emperor through the ages. It is related to his reputation after death, so he is very active.

The ports in many places are full of ships, just like queuing up, the fleet led by several princes set off first, and they follow like a baton, one by one, and finally gather in the ocean.

And Datang itself does not have the ability to swallow so many ships, let alone the ports of other overseas bases.

Therefore, although Li Tai and the others took the lead in passing Champa (the central part of Vietnam in later generations), and then came to Indonesia in later generations, there were still fleets following them one after another.

And the route is slightly different.For example, those who come from the East China Sea will first arrive at the base in Taiwan, resupply, and then go to the later generations of the Philippines, which is now Luzon.In a word, the entire China Sea is very lively now, and huge ships can be seen sailing on the sea everywhere, which is quite a bit of grandeur.

The imperial court also paid a huge price for this expedition, and the merchants who followed were also stuffed with things in the cabin.So just out of the port, within a few days of sailing, the business has already started.

Gotta get the cost back, right?Although the indigenous tribes here are not very good, there are still a lot of spices, gold and gems.Get some silk, porcelain, and glass to replace with them, that will be dozens of times the profit.

Years of overseas trade have turned the people of the empire into bloodthirsty beasts.It seems that no courtier has come forward and said that this is not good.It is probably because Li Shimin's tyranny is too strong, and he was too poor back then. Naturally, the court that has tasted the sweetness will not be stupid. Forced to stop this behavior.

Merchants pay taxes, they protect the caravan, and they also sell things along the way. They don’t even have to travel too far. As long as they reach Tianzhu and the Dashi area, they can earn a lot of money, and the cost is almost returned.

With so many ships sailing along the coast, it's hard not to attract attention.Although the current Southeast Asia is barren and many people are still uncivilized, since the Tang Dynasty began to explore Southeast Asia in preparation for the search for Australia, it brought advanced civilization here, and soon affected the entire region.

Seeing so many big ships coming, they were all as happy as something.Here is still in the ignorant and uncivilized era, and the rule of tribal leaders is often simple, rude and inhumane.But since Tang people arrived here one after another, everything changed.

The force is strong, but also kind and magical, which opened their eyes.Most importantly, the Tang people will give them something to eat.And they are just leading the way, or helping with some work.Those jobs are not particularly tiring, it is much safer than hunting by yourself, and you can always get enough to eat.

Most importantly, they can get rid of the brutal rule of the leader, which is better than anything else!

Therefore, although there are many lazy people, most of them are relatively honest.Those so-called lazy people used to be small bosses or something.Naturally, they don't want to be caught to work, and they always try to be lazy. In the eyes of these compatriots, these people deserve to be killed.

After all, if these mouse feces don't work well, everyone will be punished together and have no food.

Seeing so many ships coming now, some quick-witted people instinctively felt that maybe the Tang people were going to completely liberate them? !
The strength and wealth of the Tang State made these natives yearn for it.

Who said that indigenous people can't have pursuits?
They also want to live in a good house, eat good food, and no longer have to worry about the siege of wild animals and the infestation of terrible diseases.

I have never seen a better life before.I thought that the life of the leader was the best.But after the Tang people came, they realized that their leader was like a turtle.It's not as good as the life of an ordinary person in the Tang Dynasty.

When a country's civilization is strong, its national power will inevitably be strong.When a backward civilization meets an advanced civilization, it will only be assimilated.

At this time, the Tang Empire is undoubtedly one of the most powerful civilizations in the world, and it has become the most powerful empire thanks to the role of a certain time and space traveler. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the number one in the world.Not to mention these natives of Southeast Asia, even the people of some of the more advanced countries in the Confucian civilization circle would dream of becoming Tang Dynasty people.

For example, Datang's good neighbor - Japan.

Due to the increasingly close trade with Japan, the prosperity of the Central Plains culture has made Japan admire it.Two groups of Tang envoys have been sent here.And people-to-people exchanges are even more intensive.Many Japanese who had a hard time living in the country tried their best to get on the boat to China, and then they just lingered and refused to leave.

This phenomenon is not unique. The more prosperous the Tang Dynasty trade, the more Japanese people came to China.

And there are many Japanese soldiers on the fleet of this voyage.They participated in this voyage of escape from death with only one purpose: to become the people of Tang Dynasty!
To put it bluntly, I just want to get a Datang household registration, then make contributions, and then become the upper class among the people of Datang.

These Japanese soldiers are familiar with water, and are obedient and loyal. They can perfectly execute the orders of their superiors without hesitation. Even if they are asked to kill, as long as the superiors say a word, they will draw their swords and cut off the opponent's head without hesitation.

Such a person is a necessary role for civilization development.

Of course, the selection to join the Datang Navy is also very harsh.First of all, you must be able to speak the official language of the Tang Dynasty, and secondly, you must swear allegiance to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in front of the dragon flag, and you will never change until your death.In addition to these, you must be familiar with water. If you have certain sailing experience, congratulations, you may be able to be a small boss!
And many devils were directly dismissed because they were not too fluent in Mandarin.But these devils are not stupid, the government doesn't want them, so let's go to merchants.

Ever since, a strange phenomenon appeared: on a commercial ship, you can always see one or two bowed devils, nodding and bowing their heads and saying "hi" non-stop.They have to rely on the protection of merchants and stay in Datang in the name of migrant workers; and merchants of Datang also especially like devil soldiers who use these knives to lick blood.

After all, don't people in our country like to kill people so much...

Zhang Chunrui from Mingzhou, Zhejiang is one of them.Relying on a little courage at the beginning, this small businessman in Zhejiang resolutely borrowed money to go to sea, and quickly accumulated wealth in a short period of time.Now it has become the leading super merchant in Mingzhou and even Zhejiang.

And this thirty-year-old businessman Zhang likes to use Japanese sailors the most.It has almost reached an unbelievable level, it can be said that anyone who comes is welcome.As long as it is Japanese, he accepts it.

Zhang Chunrui also loves these rough-skinned and thick-skinned devils!

Obedient, hardworking, loyal, smart!He does almost whatever you ask him to do, and he will never violate it.As long as you have a little kindness for them, you will be moved and want to give you your heart. Is there anyone in this world who can use it better than this?
And as a big businessman who eats sea food all the year round, of course he can't be a good person.In fact, there were many nasty things done by the imperial court in Southeast Asia in the early stage, and merchants like them followed behind, so they inevitably followed suit.Even as soon as they went to sea, Tang Jun secretly sent some weapons to them for self-protection.

They also turned a blind eye to what they big families were doing in this barren land.

The accumulation and fortune of any capital is full of blood.Greed is the same thing for all human beings.

It's just that compared with Western colonists, Chinese people are slightly more kind due to the influence of Confucianism.The reason for the kindness is that the Chinese people have a more brilliant method of conquest, which can be transformed into a big one, one slap and one jujube, and people need to work, so don't kill everyone!

Just kill a chicken and let the monkey read it!With these Japanese, the dirty work is done.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Zhang Dashangjia looked at the natives rushing from the shore, and he raised his lips to show a smile.

"Takahashi-kun!"

"Hi! Dong Weng!"

A Japanese about 1.6 meters tall heard the sound and immediately ran to Zhang Chunrui, bent over at [-] degrees, with a respectful and serious attitude, and said in an unfamiliar Mingzhou dialect: "Please order!"

Looking at the Japanese in front of him, Zhang Chunrui smiled deeper and nodded: "Mr. Takahashi, this trip to America is 300 miles, and the variables are unknown. But I have exhausted my whole body to get six or seven large ships. , recruited more than [-] sailors, but the number of sailors is still a bit small. Sailors are the most important thing in sailing, and they must not do chores, and they must always be alert to the sea... But in this way, there will be no one to take care of the sundries on board , Takahashi-kun, do you have any insight?"

"Hey, my subordinate understands! Let's drop the anchor and file a case to get some labor!"

The smile on Zhang Chunrui's face grew wider, he nodded, stroked his beard and said, "You can teach me..."

A few Tang people not far away listened to this conversation, their faces twitched.

The boss is really a master!

Obviously he is unwilling to ask for too much money to hire someone, but he still speaks so naturally.This is clearly to use those natives as coolies.After all, the living conditions of the citizens of the Tang Dynasty are better, and the labor costs are also higher. Who will come to such a risky thing if they don't offer excellent conditions?Unless there is that ambition to fight for a future.

This kind of thing, their boss did not know how many times.This time, a huge amount of capital has been invested, and if the cost is not minimized, it cannot be called a leading merchant.This clearly implies that these Japanese people are going to capture the natives on the island.

It doesn't matter whether it's cheating or cheating or adding violence.Anyway, the deck and hull need to be thoroughly cleaned to prevent seawater erosion, and someone will always have to do this kind of hard work.Those monkeys are stupid, but it's okay to do something like this.And what their boss has to pay is only three meals a day, if they eat a little better, those guys can cry!
Takahashi got off the boat with a group of compatriots. In addition to arresting people, they were also responsible for purchasing local specialties for the owner and resupplying them.There is not much time left for them, so the action is much faster.Doesn't this have to meet with the big team?
