Chapter seven hundred and eighty the navy rushes forward
Shi Jianfei led a few brothers and walked around the market. There were merchants selecting laborers everywhere. Rows of natives, all with their arms tied by ropes, were like a group of animals, free to choose.レ

The old and weak were thrown out, and the young and strong took them away directly after negotiating the price. Some old people were not wanted, so they had to give a discount. Two people counted as one, three people counted as one, and they argued over it. It was very lively.
"Boss, there are more than thirty old and weak workers over there. They cost two yuan for three people. Should we buy some and transport them back to the country?"
Shi Jianfei sneered: "You're out of your mind. Don't you know how hard it is to be wandering at sea? It's normal for a few people to die when these old and weak people are brought back, and they can't sell at a high price, and they consume a lot of food.
You might lose money. Just be careful. If you could take advantage of it, someone else would have bought it. Why stay here?"
"Boss, you are still smart, so the brothers will point their fingers at you."
Shi Jianfei took a few people and transferred two back, but he didn't buy any of the natives. It wasn't like he was reluctant to part with money. He had a thousand yuan in his bag. This was the savings he had saved from being a pirate for many years, which was enough to buy five hundred laborers.
But he was a pirate after all, so Shi Jianfei always wanted to make more money from everything he did. It was really meaningless to make such a hard trip and only earn a few hundred yuan.
After walking back and forth like this for a few times, he suddenly found an aboriginal leader, leading dozens of women, walking over dejectedly. Seeing this, Shi Jianfei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly stopped the leader.
He had been a pirate for many years and understood the native language. After asking, he found out that the leader heard that someone here was buying slaves. He wanted to exchange for some arms. In the battles with the natives, they often used slaves.
The strong men were killed and the women were taken back as captives. As a result, the leader believed that the value of women was higher than that of other young men.
But when he came over with dozens of women, he found that only young men were accepted, and there was no interest in women, so he had no choice but to go back.
After hearing this, Shi Jianfei also looked at the indigenous women, but after seeing them, he frowned. They were dark, thin and shriveled, not good-looking, and had a smell about them.
The subordinates also frowned a little: "Boss, these women are like monkeys. Even if they are sold, no one wants them."
"Shut up!" Shi Jianfei's eyes suddenly lit up, he grabbed the leader and said, "I'm willing to trade one gun for thirty men, how many, how many, what do you think?"
When the native leader heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. The price was much more expensive than that of a young man, and he nodded immediately.
"We have more than a hundred women, all for you!"
When Shi Jianfei heard that there were still some, he was even more overjoyed. He immediately ran to the army, stuffed two fountain pens into the officer in charge, and then used 200 yuan to buy ten guns. The officer was pretty good, and he gave
Each gun comes with twenty rounds of ammunition.
Taking these things, Shi Jianfei immediately found the indigenous leader and obtained 180 women from him. After some searching, he gathered a total of more than 320 women and escorted them all to their home.
on board.
Shi Jianfei had four boats in total, two large and two small, all fully loaded. He took out another five hundred yuan from his hand and gave it to his men.
"Go, buy more food and water, and preferably some clothes and medicine."
"Boss, don't you be so pity for me? It's enough to eat some of these things. Why do you need clothes and medicine? Isn't it just to support your wife?"
"Don't talk nonsense, let me tell you, if we can send them back to the country safely, all the wives of our brothers will be safe!"
The men did not dare to disobey, and hurriedly prepared the tools for use, and then their four ships set off immediately. Shi Jianfei had been in Nanyang for many years and was already quite familiar with the sea.
But this time is different from the past. If it goes as he wants, as long as he succeeds this time, he can jump from a pirate to an entrepreneur and a big boss. After he has money, he can decorate his appearance.
This bandit leader can also sneak into the upper class like a human being. Who will know that he was a pirate and made his fortune by selling people.
But speaking of it, human trafficking is not a shameful thing. Almost all European powers sold black slaves. A few decades ago, when the United States carried out the westward expansion movement and overhauled railways, and the colonists in Southeast Asia vigorously developed resources, all of them sold Chinese laborers.
, Shi Jianfei had personal contact with those piglets.
They had no clothes on their bodies, and were marked to avoid escaping. Some even carried torture instruments, which were worse than black slaves. As a result, over the years, Westerners have developed almost everything, and their pockets are full.
After getting the money, he pretended to be civilized, pointing at this and that without even looking at his own butt.
Since the ancestors of Westerners all made their fortunes as pirates and also engaged in human trafficking, Shi Jianfei’s behavior is nothing!
Their fleet was getting closer and closer to the mainland, and Shi Jianfei was getting more and more excited. He sat on the bow of the boat, sometimes frowning, sometimes unable to help but laugh, looking like a lunatic.
"Boss, I will return to China in one day. If I sail for a few more days, I'm afraid you will be stunned!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Just follow the boss and get rich."
After all, buying and selling people is not a glorious thing. All ships transporting people are delivered to Sanya first, and then approved by domestic personnel, packaged as overseas laborers, and sent back to the country in batches.
Shi Jianfei took more than 300 indigenous women to Haikou. After getting off the boat, he found that many businessmen were registering these indigenous people and exchanging them for new identity documents and labor certificates. With these things, they could openly
were sent back to other areas.
And depending on the number of transport workers, they can also get some additional bonuses. These businessmen who buy and sell people can get money from three places. First, they immigrate to Nanyang. The government has to provide some subsidies, and they also send people to Borneo.
After that, Nanhua Zhengfu will also give some rewards.
At the same time, after replacing people from the indigenous people, and then selling them to domestic construction sites and mines, you can get another sum. Moreover, the government will also give you a small allowance based on the work situation. In total, it will cost you at least a few hundred yuan per trip.
, some can even earn thousands of dollars.
For the Chinese government, it is extremely cost-effective to spend such a small amount of money in exchange for a coolie who can work for several years. Of course, these natives will not last too long and will basically be worn out within three to five years.
I was completely exhausted from all my physical strength.
The person in charge of registration was registering workers when he suddenly saw Shi Jianfei coming with a group of women and immediately frowned.
"The construction site is looking for young men who can carry rocks and swing a sledgehammer. What's the point of bringing a bunch of old ladies back? I'm afraid I won't be able to help you register."
"No, sir, please listen to what I have to say." Shi Jianfei said hurriedly: "As the saying goes, if a man and a woman match each other, the work will not be tiring. These indigenous women are black and ugly, but they can give birth to babies, and they are sissies after all.
The younger ones also come from poor places. How many bachelors can't find a wife in their life, and even find fools and cripples in order to continue their relationship. These indigenous women are of the right age, in good health, and the most important thing is that they don't need betrothal gifts, and they are also obedient and honest.
When we send it back to the country, no one should be scrambling to get it, don’t you think?”
When the registration official heard this, he couldn't help laughing. He looked up and down the big black man Shi Jianfei, and said with a smile: "People are thick, but you are very careful. I will report it to the superiors.
Let’s see how they handle it.”
This situation was quickly reported to Ge Yuexuan. He was originally responsible for the intelligence work of Guangdong and Guangxi, but now he is fully responsible for trade with Nanhua. Domestic weapons and materials, Nanyang specialties and labor are all under his control.
After Ge Yuexuan met Shi Jianfei and listened to his words, he was immediately enlightened. This black man provided a good idea. In fact, the higher-ups also had ideas in buying and selling indigenous labor. It was not just as simple as extracting labor, but also changing the situation.
The demographic structure allows the Chinese to maintain their advantage in Borneo.
Now that I think about it, in addition to killing people and arresting laborers, intermarriage is also a good trick. As Shi Jianfei said, medical conditions are very poor, and a woman is facing a life-or-death crisis when giving birth to a child.
There are a lot of bachelors in the country. It would be a supplement if we could get more women back from Nanyang. In addition, those Chinese who arrived in Nanyang could also marry a few more indigenous women to speed up intermarriage and assimilation.
Thinking of this, Ge Yuexuan immediately realized the value of Shi Jianfei's idea. He arranged for someone to take Shi Jianfei and these women back to China to see if anyone wanted them. In addition, he hurriedly reported to the superiors. If they were adopted, this would be considered a credit.
One piece.
In fact, compared to the bustle below, the people above are quite silent on the issue of Nanyang, and even the news reports are unwilling to say more.
Of course, the international community is quite excited about this, and major newspapers are vying to report on it. After Versailles and the Washington Conference, the world structure has basically stabilized, but this time the founding of South China broke this situation.
In addition, the founding of the Chinese nation has also aroused the fear of disaster deep in the hearts of Westerners. Especially as China becomes stronger, various unfavorable arguments have also appeared. Some white supremacists encourage the Western world to unite again to help the Netherlands.
Destroy Nanhua.
However, although the media is lively, the governments of various countries are still relatively restrained. Of course, there are more and more private confrontations.
Among them, Britain actively encouraged the United States and France, and even Japan, to jointly put pressure on China and force China to give up its support for South China so that they could destroy this country.
But these three countries have their own plans. France controls Vietnam and other places. If they fall out with China and draw the army south, how will they keep their colonies?
As for the United States, which is very dissatisfied with the founding of South China, it is especially worried about the impact on the Philippines. However, they have huge investments in China, and the Americans are also weighing the pros and cons.
The Japanese were quite active, hoping to suppress China's momentum. After seeing through the faces of these powers, Zhang Tinglan immediately took measures. He focused his breakthrough on the Japanese. Recently, China and Japan have been the most hostile. Zhang Tinglan
He is also most afraid that the United States and Britain will support Japan in launching an all-out war against China.
Therefore, Zhang Tinglan instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and set out conditions for Japan. The two sides could jointly develop and utilize Borneo, and Nanhua could provide the Japanese with five million acres of land to plant rubber, and also give the Japanese the right to explore for oil.
After this condition was made, the Japanese drooled all over the floor. It was impossible not to be tempted. Oil and rubber were out-and-out strategic resources, and land was what the Japanese dreamed of.
Moreover, the success of Nanhua also allowed the Japanese to see the weakness of the West, and the southward faction in Japan also suddenly raised its head. Why bother staring at China, why bother thinking about fighting this behemoth every day? If they turn their spearhead to Nanyang, maybe
Gain more and benefit more.
After some discussions, China and Japan reached a secret agreement. Japan provided Nanhua with thirty decommissioned warships and helped Nanhua set up a transportation company with 200,000 tons of merchant ships. Nanhua was open to investment, providing oil and
Rubber to cover the cost of warships.
This kind of transaction seems to be a bit disadvantageous for China, but by tying the Japanese to the tank, there is an extra layer of support, and the pressure on China's shoulders is also reduced a lot.
After stabilizing Japan, they focused their efforts on the United States. As for the British, Zhang Tinglan no longer cared. Even if they offended this outdated empire, they could not do anything to China.
After some negotiations between China and the United States, Zhang Tinglan agreed to open Borneo to the United States. In order to avoid the problem of uprisings in the Philippines, the Chinese in the Philippines could be immigrated to Borneo, and China promised to respect the interests of the United States in Southeast Asia.
After a tense exchange of interests, some of the crises caused by the founding of Nanhua have been resolved. Only the Netherlands is left screaming, and the British sigh behind them. However, it is difficult for them to do anything. Zhang Tinglan also
Relax.
However, Zhang Tinglan still felt a little distressed when he took the initiative to cut off the flesh. In the final analysis, he was still not strong enough, otherwise he would have eaten it all. Zhang Tinglan also became more and more eager for maritime power, so he immediately took the time to go to Lushun Shipyard to assign new tasks.
Navy Commander Shen Honglie and Director of the General Administration of Naval Armament Wu Yulin brought together naval generals and military personnel respectively.
Zhang Tinglan glanced at it and then said: "There is only one task this time, which is to start building two aircraft carriers, and we will also start building four heavy cruisers. We will build two aircraft carriers within three years, and strive to build two aircraft carriers within five years."
Within, the most powerful maritime aviation force in the Far East will be built.”
As soon as Zhang Tinglan said these words, everyone present was extremely excited. Shen Honglie clenched his fists even more: "Vice President, after our many training tests, we found that aircraft carriers have unique advantages over battleships. If China wants to catch up with the world,
In the development of the navy, aircraft carriers are the most important part."
Wu Yulin also smiled and said: "Aircraft carriers are indeed important, but Vice President, I have another good news to tell you. Just a few months ago, we made some repairs to the battleship Kirishima, and the navy also wants to have its first battleship.
, the aircraft carrier’s bodyguards are also thicker!”rs!.
