Chapter 166 In Strait Free City(1/2)
Chapter 166 In the Strait Free City
John Klein stood there, with a long blood mark on his face.
He is lucky.
It was just scratched by the skin by the shattered grenade.
Skin trauma.
But the European adventurers he hired in Kolkata were in trouble.
More than a dozen grenades were thrown into the cabin, and the bursting fragments immediately filled the entire cabin with blood mist.
Screams, wails, and moans intertwined.
Although many people were not hit by the fragments, the vibration caused by the explosion of more than a dozen grenades also made them unable to stand firmly and fell to the ground.
It was at this moment.
The group of Chinese pirates rushed into the cabin with a grin.
Batam Free City is a municipality directly under the Ming Dynasty.
"What is this?"
The tax payment amount of Strait Free City is very large, and among all provincial administrative regions of the Ming Dynasty, it is temporarily second only to Guangdong and Hunan. This means that the public bureau of Batam Free City has more quotas in the Ming Dynasty Council than most provinces in the mainland.
"This must be a provocation to the Ming Dynasty!"
Therefore, it is different from most cities in the mainland. There are no landlords and gentry here, only maritime merchants who live here.
Although no cargo was seized, it was not a loss to get a large plywood ship.
His brother David Klein had lost his weapon and raised his hands high.
It is because Strait Free City is a commercial city.
The members of the Public Affairs Bureau were shouting and beating and killing.
"Cai Tou, what are you doing when you go back to Malacca?"
"The treatment of prisoners of war?" Cai Qian frowned.
The Zhishi City of Strait Free City, Tian Wenkang, the son of Lan Fangtian family, and Luo Jiangong, the Governor of the Straits Governor of the Ming Straits, all frowned and accepted questioning from the members of the council at the Public Bureau.
Cai Qian's eyes turned.
"No, no, no, this must have been done by the British. The Governor's Office of the Straits should directly attack Huanglong, and the ships and guns bombard Kolkata to take revenge!"
There is no treatment or something like that.
on the one hand.
Therefore, for this plunder against the Ming maritime merchants, the members of the maritime merchants supported by these maritime merchants must speak for the financial owners behind them.
When John Klein thought.
Zhu Bin, the commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet, and Li Changgeng, the deputy commander, have also arrived in Batam Island.
The appearance of these corpses shows that this is definitely not an ordinary robbery.
Luo Jiangong stood up and said loudly.
Otherwise, those members of the Central Committee would definitely participate in their book and file a complaint with the emperor.
But I know it deep down.
The Ming Dynasty also planned to take action against the British British Indian colonies.
There are strait fleets and garrisons on the islands of the Straits under the Governor's Office, which can be mobilized by the Governor's Office.
Later, he went to the Ming Army and Naval Officers Academy in Huangpu, Guangzhou to study, but became a classmate with his opponent Zhu Bin.
It’s not good to go out! It’s not good to go out!
"He said he was from Britain and wanted to get the treatment he should have."
Cai Qian grinned.
"Holding this certificate allows you to attack enemy merchant ships on high seas and avoid being judged. The Governor's Office of the Indian Colonial United Kingdom of Britain and Ireland. Caitou, this is a privateer of the British!"
It is definitely not good to do such a lack of money.
"Is this the government or the bandit?"
But it is really rare to be so frequent during this period.
It is very likely to be an action against the Ming merchant ships.
Aren’t Chinese people all docile businessmen?
Is it because I am too lucky or not that I don’t know enough about Chinese people?
In the Straits Free City Public Bureau.
Even if there is no reward, it can still be related to the Governor's Office of the Ming Strait.
A dignified government and court of a country.
He was originally a hero who had no capital business along the coast of Fujian.
The corpse and those who were too seriously injured were dragged out and thrown into the sea.
Why did you meet a group of treacherous and cunning Chinese pirates?
"It's really unreasonable!"
Someone took the Klein brothers over.
"Private certificate?" Cai Qian frowned, "It means that the British court issued a legal robbery certificate to them? Can the court do such a thing?"
Although they are all pirates.
It is comparable to the province in administrative level.
The other surviving white Europeans did not dare to continue to resist and held French military salutes one after another.
Being robbed on the sea is something that happens from time to time.
If the Ming Dynasty court ended up doing a terrible business, how could it be that pirates like them?
The Niu brothers also shook their heads together.
Cai Qian rushed into the cabin with his men. Seeing that the other party had surrendered and did not continue to attack, he ordered all the surviving white Europeans to be tied up, and then examined the injured who fell to the ground one by one.
Such important information.
On the other hand.
Thinking of this.
It would be even better if I could buy some weapons from the Ming Navy.
The Qian family of Wu and Yue is a major clan in Liangzhe.
Whether they can survive depends on their respective luck.
So when I saw this dignified British Empire issued a "robbery certificate", it was a violent impact on the values of Niu Guicai and Niu Jinbao, who had very simple values.
Luo Jiangong and Tian Wenkang returned to the conference hall of the Governor's Office. In addition to the senior officials from the Governor's Office and the Zhishi Municipal Government, he also sent people to invite Zhu Bin, the command room of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Ming Dynasty, and Li Changgeng, deputy commander. He had sent people to Liaonei Island to invite Yang Yuchun and Wuhou Qian Dazhao.
They are pirates with legal robbery evidence.
"It seems that this British man is going to attack our Ming Dynasty. It may be a great achievement to bring these yellow-haired ghosts back to the Governor's Office of the Straits."
Seeing everyone arrived.
"Cai Tou, there is no cargo on this ship!"
"Everyone, I have sent someone to investigate what happened recently. Once it is confirmed that it was done by the Governor's Office in Kolkata, the Governor's Office in the Strait of the Ming Dynasty will definitely retaliate!"
John Klein had no choice but to throw away the musket in his hand and raised his hands.
"The British have already started! I don't think we should continue to wait. When the fleet is sent to annihilate the British fleet first!" Zhu Bin said immediately.
Cai Qian immediately said loudly: "Clean this big plywood ship and throw all the useless things into the sea. We will return to Malacca!"
John Klein closed his eyes in pain.
Even if this kind of robbery against the Ming Dynasty merchants did not occur.
The Governor's Office of the Strait of Daming.
In addition, the Ming Dynasty's vassal coalition forces of the Indian vassal states who were preparing to land in India for intensive training.
Now the two were ordered to lead the fleet south to escort the coalition forces of the Indian princes of the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, with the robbery, there are often Chinese corpses tied to sampans and floating along the ocean currents in recent days.
Batam, Strait Free City.
Yang Yuchun went south together as the training general of the Ming Dynasty's Indian princes coalition forces. He was only responsible for training and did not go directly to India - after all, he still dreamed of making contributions in the Northern Expedition to the Qing Dynasty.
I hope these Chinese people can be more kind
