"The Netherlands, also known as the Kingdom of the Netherlands, is located in the northwest of Obarro. This country is not big, less than half of our Shandong Province. It was controlled by the Spanish more than a hundred years ago, and it was not until this year that they were officially independent."
In a conference room in General Dingguo's mansion, Pang Gang was educating his subordinates on illiteracy. The people present included Lin Feng, Kong Lin, and others who were about to go to Oubaluo, as well as Tu Hai and Mo Hui.
General, due to the hot weather, everyone in the conference room was wearing thin shorts. Lin Feng, who was fat, even had his shirts open, but heavy drops of sweat were still flowing from his forehead and body. But at this moment, Lin Feng was like everyone else.
They were all like students in the school, listening attentively to Pang Gang's explanation. After all, this was related to whether they could open up a situation in Oparo in the future, so he couldn't help but not concentrate.
"Now, the Netherlands has replaced Spain as the maritime hegemon of Opal. They have reached out to the East. The greed of these foreigners has no end, so you must be vigilant, but don't ignore the ways of those foreigners.
."
Kong Lin asked in confusion: "Sir, these red-haired... foreigners agreed to our sending an envoy to their country? Are they hiding any evil intentions?"
In such a formal occasion, even if Kong Lin had the guts to call Pang Gang by his name, he would always call Pang Gang by his honorific title.
Pang Gang laughed and shook his head, looking around at everyone with sharp eyes: "You must remember that between countries, there are always only interests, and any moral and righteousness is empty. Do you really think that Putsman
Do you really want to form an alliance with us? Wrong. He just wants to stabilize us now. I can be sure that once he is strong enough to compete with us, he will swallow us up without hesitation.
Dropped, this is the nature of these foreigners!"
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this. What you said must be too realistic.
"Don't believe it yet." Seeing the doubtful expressions on everyone's face, Pang Gang felt that he had to add a little more fire and talk about the history of the expansion of the Loba people in Southeast Asia, so that these people who still use Chinese moral etiquette to view the Western colonists should
Please stay awake, my subordinates.
"The Spanish were the first to reach out to our east. After that, the Spaniards gradually became unable to do what they wanted. Then the Portuguese and the Dutch reached out again, and they all tried to establish a foothold directly in the Ming Dynasty or in Nanyang. The first to establish a foothold was
The Portuguese, after their hard work, finally rented a small piece of land in Lingnan, and they are still staying there shamelessly. Then came the Dutch, who built two buildings in Taiwan under the name of the Dutch East India Company.
Prominjia City and Relanjia City, they operate Taiwan as their own territory.
In recent years, the Spanish have concentrated on operating Luzon. The Portuguese have begun to decline and are unable to undertake independent ocean-going trade. The Dutch, who encountered difficulties in Taiwan, built Batavia as a stronghold and used spices as bait to attract Chinese people to Batavia.
Davia trade. At the same time, Chinese merchants, mainly Fujianese, maintained long-term trade with Spain through Manila..."
After talking so much incessantly, the people below were dumbfounded. After a long time, Lin Feng murmured: "My dear, there are so many things here!"
"What do you think!" Pang Gang said angrily: "Looking at the development history of Oparo, it is actually a history of pirates. Don't think of those foreigners as noble. What they pursue is nudity.
The principle is to hit with loud fists and loud sounds."
After Pang Gang taught everyone about illiteracy today, he completely overturned Lin Feng, Kong Lin and others' impressions of foreigners. When dealing with these foreigners emotionally, it depends on whether your fists are strong or not.
After Pang Gang took a sip of tea, he told Kong Lin: "Shi Lin, you have to remember that after arriving at Oubaluo, you and the merchants who came with the ship must sell the goods you brought with you at a good price. The higher the price, the higher the price."
Okay, I finally went to Oparo, how can I do it without taking a huge amount of money?"
"Hahaha..." Kong Lin and everyone laughed.
Putting down the tea cup, Pang Gang turned to Lin Feng and was responsible for the safety of the mission. Mo Hui, who was also the commander of the mission fleet, said: "Governor Lin, after Vice-Commander Mo arrives in Oubaluo, you have to talk to the King of the Netherlands and the
Their nobles have good relations with each other, and while keeping good records of the situation there. For example, the composition of their army, the situation among the people, etc., must be recorded, compiled into a book, and presented to the officer when they return. Don't slack off, understand.
Yet?"
"Yes!" Lin Feng and Mo Hui agreed loudly.
After explaining the mission of the envoy, Pang Gang asked Tu Hai: "Commander Tu, you are the commander of our Shandong Navy. Our navy seems to be quite large. There are more than one hundred and nearly two hundred warships.
, but if they are to be distributed in North Korea, Liaodong, and even the area from Shandong to Zhejiang, there will not be many. From the current point of view, it is not appropriate for us to add more warships. If we add more warships, we will be starved to death. Now your main task is
Improve the combat effectiveness of our navy and train skilled sailors and officers as soon as possible. We must also beware of Fujian. Zheng Zhilong is not a master who will give up easily. We must prevent him from sending people to cause trouble, especially the North Korean navy.
After Commander Li Xiaojun returns, we will have to train sailors on our own, and the burden on your shoulders is not light!"
Tu Hai raised his head and said: "Don't worry, sir. Now people have come to settle in Shenmi Island one after another. Our naval school on Shenmi Island has also started classes. As long as we survive for another year, we will be able to get enough people because of the shortage of people."
This will greatly alleviate the problem, and we will be able to purchase new ships by then."
The navy's demand for warships is never-ending. There is no naval commander who does not like to equip new warships. But now for Tu Hai, who is short of manpower, there are only new warships but no skilled sailors to control them. This is simply
It was a kind of painful suffering. For a while, Tu Hai, who was short of manpower, wanted to go to North Korea and directly dig the foundation of the North Korean navy. If he hadn't been stopped by Pang Gang later, "If you are not from my tribe, your heart will be different."
, maybe he has actually done this.
Pang Gang suddenly remembered something and asked Tuhai: "By the way, is there any movement in North Korea now?"
Tu Hai shook his head, "Nothing. Now those Koreans are busy recruiting troops to replenish the troops lost during the last Tatar invasion. Currently, they have about ten thousand troops. However, I heard that North Korea is currently having a dispute.
What kind of army should we build? The ministers in the DPRK and China are quarreling fiercely."
"Oh, that's it!" Pang Gang couldn't help but put his left hand on his chin and began to think..."
After the meeting, Pang Gang walked back to the inner courtyard and sat down on the lazy chair under the cool grape trellis. A cool breath hit his face, and he never wanted to move again.
He called the maid to pour him a pot of tea. After a few sips, Pang Gang felt sleepy, and he lay down on the lazy chair and fell into a deep sleep.
Pang Gang slept drowsily all afternoon, and didn't wake up slowly until the evening. As soon as Pang Gang woke up, he faintly heard a delicate voice next to him saying softly: "Sister Yuanyuan, when will your husband wake up?
I want to ask him something."
Soon Chen Yuanyuan's timid voice rang out, "Mrs. Xuezhu, please don't call me that. I am just the master's slave, but I don't deserve to call you sister."
"Sister Yuanyuan, since my husband married several of us sisters at the same time, he wanted us sisters to be treated equally regardless of size. Why are you doing this again? It's really boring." Li Xuezhu's charming voice sounded, and Pang Gang
At this moment, you can imagine the cute look of Li Xuezhu pouting her cherry lips, and you almost couldn't help laughing.
"Then...Okay!" Chen Yuanyuan reluctantly agreed, but it was obvious that she was still not used to it.
Hearing this, Pang Gang sighed slightly in his heart. Chen Yuanyuan was born in a prostitute, which made her feel a little inferior. Although Pang Gang, a person from later generations, did not care about his identity. In Pang Gang's case,
When he first got married to them, he also made it clear that he would treat all the girls equally.
But this is obviously not the case for Chen Yuanyuan. She still positions herself as a concubine and lists herself, Qiaoer and Ling'er as the same type of people. After all, although Kong Ruolan is the daughter of a merchant, she
She was the first person to marry Pang Gang and was Pang Gang's first wife, not to mention Wei Man Ting and Li Xuezhu. They were rich ladies from an official family. Now Wei Tong was the governor of Shandong and was awarded the second rank by the emperor.
Mrs. Gaoming's status is so respected. As for Li Xuezhu, she is a North Korean princess, let alone a brothel girl. How can she compare with them? Therefore, even though Li Xuezhu is younger than Chen Yuanyuan, Chen Yuanyuan still calls her sister.
Pang Gang opened his eyes slightly, and saw two beautiful faces sitting next to him chatting. Pang Gang felt childlike for a moment, stretched out his hands and patted their buttocks, and said:
There was a crisp "pop" sound, which made the two women scream at the same time.
After seeing clearly that it was Pang Gang, the two women were so angry that they stretched out their pink fists and slapped Pang Gang. Pang Gang sat up and laughed, stretching out his arms to hug the two women.
Chen Yuanyuan, who was lying in Pang Gang's arms, said angrily: "Master, you really scared my concubine so much. You see, Sister Xuezhu was almost frightened."
"That's right! My husband is the worst, he is so frightening." Li Xuezhu was so angry that she stretched out her hand to twist her husband's waist.
"Haha, okay, it's your husband, isn't it?" Pang Gang apologized with a smile and said: "Who made the quarrel around you, master, don't you know that leaving someone to sleep is the most abominable thing?"
"Hmph, I have something to do with my husband when I come here this time. How can you say that I am disturbing my dreams." Li Xuezhu snorted with her nose turned up.!~!
