Chapter 48: Asking for Money, Not for Life

"Oh? It turns out that Mr. Colonel discovered our vault, but these things are yours. After all, you are the winner, and the winner will have one thing, including my life."

Raymond looked at Moiré with a smile, as if he wasn't worried at all about his situation.

Moire slowly approached Raymond and whispered: "I want more."

Raymond thought for a while and said: "India is a place rich in products, and the British East India Company has made a lot of profits here. As for gold, it is only a small part of it.

For a country, gold is not the most important thing, materials are the foundation that supports an empire's prosperity.

On this island, there are not only 600,000 ounces of gold, but also 1.6 million ounces of silver, and 700,000 quintals of cotton. There are four warehouses in cotton cloth. If Mr. Colonel can carry All these wealth are taken away, I think, whether it is your great uncle or your noble father, they will be very satisfied. "

Yun Wen nodded and said, "It is true. Now, Mr. Governor can get on the boat, and I will stay and guard the wealth."

Raymond smiled: "This is a wise move."

Moire beckoned, and immediately two soldiers came to tie up Raymond, then put them on a wooden stick, and carried them to the beach, where there were more British prisoners waiting for him to board the boat. .

When Raymond left, Lao Zhou said anxiously: "Master..."

Moiré raised his hand to interrupt him, looked out the window and said: "There are too many things, one hundred thousand catties of silver, 12,000 catties of gold, plus so many spices, so many cotton and cotton cloth, not a month. Time, we can’t get these things away."

Lao Zhou hurriedly said: "That Raymond is obviously ill-intentioned. He wants to use his wealth to drag the son on this island. The old slave believes that he has already revealed the news. In two days, this place will become an army. A gathering place.

At that time, the safety of the young master is difficult to guarantee. "

Moire raised his head and looked at Lao Zhou and said, "You think my life is important, but so many things are important, haha, I am a royal family, but I am also a real robber.

Isn't it the nature of a robber to give up his life without giving up money?

It is said that people die for money, and birds die for food. Moire was originally a robber, and dying for money is exactly where he died. "

Seeing that Moiré had made up his mind, Lao Zhou had to sigh, "In that case, the young master must prepare early. Ammunition and supplies are all indispensable. This island is too big, and our three thousand people are not enough to defend. The young master should Leave all the Marines in the squadron, as well as all the black men doing chores on the ship.

Simultaneously. We should build combat fortifications on the island, hoping to stick to the large fleet led by General Han. "

Yun Wen nodded, took a long breath and came to the door, ordering the messenger to gather all the officers for a meeting.

When the officers came, Mo Yun explained his plan to these people, and finally said: "It's like this, I plan to lay down my life for money, what do you think?"

Yun Zhen took the lead and said: "That's it, I don't believe that those hairy people can do anything to me on the shore."

Moire's gaze flicked across the faces of the other officers. Seeing that a few people seemed hesitant, they whispered: "The man in black has been disbanded. Your Majesty is very sad and seriously ill, and then there are us people.

Many people say that the Yun robbers are old and useless. They can't share the worries and troubles for your majesty. I don't believe it. We Yun is the backbone of the Lantian dynasty.

This world is defeated by our elders with their lives, and we cannot be excluded from the core.

When I was ordered, Your Majesty talked with me about many things, and Yun Zhang also had high hopes for us. If we fail, in the future, in the army, the children of the Yun family will only be synonymous with uselessness, and will no longer be the backbone of the army.

Therefore, I want to use this battle to tell everyone that Yunshi can still fight! "

Moire blocked everyone's retreat. At this time, if there are still shakers, Moire feels that she can use military techniques.

As the officials in the imperial court said, the Yun clan were the first people to become wealthy, and their wildness has indeed been consumed by the wealthy life.

Many members of the Yun clan are unwilling to enter the army to suffer. What they prefer to do is to participate in business and participate in various industries. In many cases, they don’t need to pay a single capital, just put a name in the business, they can harvest a lot of wealth.

This time, it seemed to be really desperate.

One hundred thousand catties of silver, twelve thousand catties of silver, and the piles of materials will surely make everyone in this sea jealous. You can think that once the war begins, your own people will definitely be at a disadvantage. in.

Calculating according to the position of General Han and his fleet, you will know that they will at least stay here for more than a month.

Don't fight, run away?

As soon as this idea came up, they denied it. They also believed that if they ran away at this time... the consequences would be serious enough to make them regret the three lives.

"Then fight to die here!"

Yun Fang gritted his teeth.

Moire coldly looked at the human beings in front of him: "Well, if anyone dares to fight, even if I die in battle, he will be broken into pieces. Believe me, I have written a deadly book for people to take Go to my uncle.

The consequences of cowardice are definitely something you don't want to imagine.

However, if we support until the arrival of General Han's fleet, at that time, your harvest will be so rich that you will not dare to imagine. After returning to Chang'an, the beauties in Mingyue Tower have long since rehabilitated, we dare not provoke, Mian Yue The beauties in the building, I have enough care! "

Seeing that the complexions of these Yun children finally returned to normal, Lao Zhou said loudly: "Since the determination is made, then hurry up and use all the things the instructor taught you.

Now, the first thing to do is to stock up ammunition..."

The British fleet went crazy when it discovered that the fighting on West Island had ceased.

They no longer pay attention to the tactics they have always insisted on, and started to move closer. They have already begun to use suicidal tactics. The battleship Brave is blocking the front of Lai Guorao’s flagship Manshan ironclad ship, focusing all the artillery on one side, The Manshan opened fire.

This is a two-tier battleship with three artillery decks and seventy-four artillery. When one side of the artillery fired, all kinds of artillery shells poured down like rain on the Manshan.

The lighter shells flew away after hitting the iron armor. As long as the 16-inch heavy artillery shells fell on the iron armored ship, they would be firmly embedded in the iron armor. For every shot hit, the Manshan seemed to make a sound. Scream.

In a short period of time, two of the three masts of the Manshan were chopped off by chain bullets, and the speed of the wind rush was much slower than before.

However, the Brave was not better there under the return of the Manshan. The upper part of this sturdy schooner had been swept away by Manshan’s blooming shells, and the front window was also destroyed by artillery shells. Fell, and ignited a raging fire.

The deck of the Manshan was in a mess. It had just experienced a chain bomb storm and almost killed all the maintenance personnel on the deck.

Lai Guorao calmly listened to the captain's continuous firing orders and watched the helmsman control the rudder laboriously, and said to the adjutant: "How is the man in black retreating?"

The adjutant Zhao Rong yelled: "They were the first to transport the wounded soldiers, prisoners, and **** gold. So far, they have not made any preparations for retreat, and they have taken all the supplies and ammunition from the troop carrier. .

Commander, they are not going to retreat, but are going to stick to West Island. "

Lai Guo frowned and said: "The reason!"

"There is news from Colonel Moire that there is a huge amount of wealth on the island, and they are going to guard this wealth, Commander, they are acting without authorization. The Dutch warship is only fifty nautical miles away from here, and the French fleet is less than seven miles away. Ten nautical miles, the Portuguese and Spanish battleships are believed to be nearby. If we don’t go when the tide is low, I’m afraid we won’t be able to go.”

A weird blush appeared on Lai Guorao's face. Seeing that the Brave on the opposite side finally exploded, the hull broke in two and sank slowly, and said to the lieutenant: "Ask the moiré again to confirm his actions. , And told him that at low tide, the fleet will leave the waters of West Island."

At this time, Zhao Rong hated Yun Wen, the **** dude, and when he heard the commander say that he was going to give up Mo Yun, his heart trembled and said, "Really give up them?"

Lai Guorao squinted his eyes and smiled and said: "Send all the marines ashore, send all the combatants on the ship ashore who can escape, and accept the command of Colonel Moire."

Zhao Rong whispered: "Commander think twice."

Lai Guo laughed and said: "That's right, this is the true nature of the robber. I thought that the soldiers of the Yun clan were dead and could not bear much use. Now it seems that there are still three thousand nails in the rotten boat among the Yun clan.

It is really interesting to fight to this extent ~www.readwn.com~. "

There is no doubt about Lai Guorao’s military order. Zhao Rong swiftly went to deliver the military order, and the Manshan iron-clad ship arbitrarily passed through the waters full of falling British navy, and the terrifying heavy artillery on the deck once again pointed at another British army. Battleship-Intrepid

The heavy artillery banged, and the entire Mangshan was pushed more than two feet away by the huge thrust. The huge cone-shaped shell blasted on the bow of the Intrepid. After the roar, the bow of the Intrepid was immediately affected. Shattered by the explosion, white sawdust flying all over the sky burst out in the fire, and then ignited by the high temperature, like a gorgeous firework.

The Manshan slowly penetrated the British fleet's encirclement. Behind it, there were two iron-clad ships breaking, and the remaining light warships had already sailed out through the opening torn by the Manshan.

Although the Manshan with its two masts broken was broken, all the warships pointed at by the heavy artillery on his deck had drawn huge arcs on the sea, avoiding him.
