Chapter 310： Interception at sea

East China Sea, southeast of Zhoushan Islands.

A Dutch fleet of seven ships is heading for Ningbo.

On the ship, a few Dutch people gathered on the deck to chat.

"That black-hearted Wu Changqing still thinks about us continuing to do business with him. Fortunately, we have found a new partner."

Hurd said with a smile. At first, he and Wu Changqing were happy to cooperate. However, when he learned that Wu Changqing's profit was several times his own, he was not happy.

Businessmen like him have always been jealous of money.

However, in Songjiang, everything was controlled by Wu Changqing, and no businessman dared to trade with him privately. He could only obey the rules set by Wu Changqing and make a little money.

Not reconciled, he kept collecting business news, and finally got in touch with Zhu Yihai's people and negotiated a big deal.

Compared with Wu Changqing, Zhu Yihai's price is a great conscience.

"However, there are too few good things in Ningbo, only silk, tea and porcelain. We have to go to Songjiang to buy goods, or Wu Changqing will make a fortune."

Another businessman said helplessly.

No way, who made Wu Changqing have a lot of specialty products.

"Perhaps, we can continue to support Zhu Yihai with a large number of weapons and let him eliminate Wu Changqing. In this way, we can buy the goods we want at the cheapest price, and even those steam engines."

To talk about their most greedy thing, it must be the steam engine.

If they can get that kind of thing, they can open up more routes.

Routes are very important to Dutch merchants, because they are different from Spanish and British merchants. Their fleets generally carry very few weapons and they are loaded with cargo as much as possible.

The profit of such a voyage is much higher, but the shortcomings are also obvious. There is not much resistance to encountering pirates. Therefore, Dutch businessmen are particularly keen to find new routes to avoid those pirates.

They coveted the steam engine very much, but this is Wu Jun's controlled commodity, and foreigners simply cannot buy it.

Even the private merchants in Wu Changqing’s jurisdiction have to go through multiple procedures if they want to use a steam engine. The steam engine they buy only has the right to use it, and trading and transfer are prohibited.

"Zhu Yihai wants to eliminate Wu Changqing, this is impossible. You may not have been to Nanjing, you can't imagine the prosperity there, and you don't know Wu Changqing's true strength. It can be said that the king Zhu Yihai is not an opponent of General Wu Changqing at all."

Albert, who has been to Nanjing, disdains.

Others are keen on doing business, and he is keen to learn about this Eastern country while he is doing business. Therefore, he can now be regarded as a half-China pass, and he has a better understanding of the current situation in China.

He knew that Wu Changqing, who had mastered the real power, and the nominal monarch Zhu Yihai did not agree, and war would inevitably break out in the future. And he is 100% optimistic about Wu Changqing.

"It may not be possible now, but with our support, it is not necessarily. In Wu Changqing's army, the most advanced weapon is not the flintlock, we also have this."

Hurd now only admires China's culture and economy, but he doesn't look down on China's army very much.

This was mainly because he hadn't seen Wu Jun's battles, and just speculated and inferred from the aspect of weapons.

Everyone was chatting, and suddenly a fleet appeared in the distance.

"Attention all, there are a lot of ships appearing in the northwest direction."

The person in charge of the observation shouted in panic.

When sailing at sea, the biggest fear is to encounter storms and other fleets.

There were two types of pirates in this period. One was the professional pirates who were entrenched in a certain place on a certain route. There were relatively few such people.

There is also a caravan itself, but a part-time pirate. As long as they encounter a fleet that is weaker than themselves, they will eat it without hesitation.

Therefore, if there are no friends on the sea, they are all enemies.

Once you encounter other fleets, you must immediately prepare to fight or escape.

"Turn right away, and the rest are ready to fight."

Hurd hurriedly ordered that if you encounter professional pirates, the steering is actually not very useful, because the pirate ship has no cargo and is fast.

However, if the encounter is a merchant ship, there is still hope for turning to escape.

"How many ships does the other party have and what flags are they flying?"

Hurd asked loudly.

Faced with different enemies, they have different solutions.

"It's the banner of the Daming Navy. It doesn't seem to be a pirate or another merchant ship. They are so fast, they are approaching us."

Shouted the observer.

Heard heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that it was Daming's navy.

Although in his opinion, Daming's navy is not a good thing, but those officers and soldiers will at least follow the military regulations and dare not make things bigger.

Generally speaking, if you bribe a little bit of money, there will be no trouble. Compared to pirates, this loss is insignificant.

"The steamship is the army of Nanjing."

As the fleet approaches, they see more and more clearly.

Braving the black smoke, there is no doubt that it is a steamship.

The steam ship is unique to Wu Changqing.

The two sides approached, and several soldiers of Wu Jun set up the template and came to the Dutch merchant ship.

From beginning to end, the Dutch fleet did nothing to resist.

They are not stupid, their speed is not as good as warships, and their firepower is not as good as warships. Resistance is just looking for death, and it is not necessary.

"Is this general Governor Wu's subordinate? My fellow Hurd, is Governor Wu's old friend. I don't know what you do if you stop us?"

Hurd stood up, speaking bad Chinese. He plans to run this route for a long time, and he usually studies Chinese assiduously.

"It's nothing big, just to remind you that there are currently naval battles in the seas of Fuzhou and Ningbo. In order to ensure the safety of your lives and property, Governor Wu sent us to **** you to Songjiang."

Said a navy lieutenant of Wu Jun.

"What matters to us in the naval battle in Ningbo? We are neutral businessmen. Governor Wu's kindness is appreciated by our hearts, but we insist on going to Ningbo, and we will bear the risks ourselves."

Hurd said, he didn't believe the other party's nonsense.

Even if there is a war in Ningbo, it has nothing to do with them.

The most important thing is that only Zhu Yihai can purchase his batch of goods at a high price. If they are shipped to Songjiang, they will be 100% lowered by Wu Changqing's **** price.

At that time, they will not have the qualifications to refuse, and they can't send the freight back again. That is a loss.

Moreover, if the cargo is unloaded in Songjiang, it will be a problem whether it can be reloaded.

"Hmph, since you insist on going to Ningbo, don't blame our routine. Search me to see if there are any military supplies that can be used by the enemy. As long as there are, immediately seize and seize them."

Said the navy lieutenant.

"Stop, you are pirates. I want to see Governor Wu and let him punish you. Governor Wu promised us freedom of business."

Hurd said angrily, the main commodity on board was flintlock, 100% military supplies. If this is detained, then he still has to vomit blood.

"That was before. Now our army is fighting with the imperial army. I won't explain too much to you. Either you will follow us to Songjiang now, or we will detain you and take you to Songjiang, you choose."

These words ruined the popularity of Hurd and others. Isn't that clear and clear.

However, in the face of such a domineering Wu Jun, they were helpless.

It is not a good choice to be with these soldiers. The only thing they can do is to go to Wu Changqing to complain.
