Part 1: Penghu Storm Chapter 66 The Trophies

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The "Challenger" belongs entirely to Ding Yunyi and is the first warship in the true sense.

    This powerfully equipped battleship will definitely shine brightly in the future.

    Of course, how to change it so that others cannot recognize it is enough for Zhang Xianxuan to have a headache.

    The "Viking" was loaded with a large amount of property that the Dutch had plundered in Taiwan and were about to be sent to Europe. Of course, these things no longer belong to the East India Company.

    At the same time, the personal belongings entrusted by Governor Putmans to the Viking were also eye-opening.

    These are also collected from Taiwan.  After careful counting, there were twelve gold ingots, the so-called gold ingots, with a total value of more than ten thousand taels of silver.  There are thirty-three small gold coins, which are about eight thousand taels of silver.

    Putmans had a habit. Whenever his wealth accumulated to a certain level, he liked to convert it all into gold, then cast it into gold ingots and gold ingots and transport them back to the Netherlands.

    In addition to these gold goods, there is also a batch of jewelry and utensils worth no less than ten thousand taels.

    Zhang Xianxuan has been a pirate for a long time, so he did a rough calculation.  The goods on the ship and these jewelry and utensils are "stolen goods" and cannot be sold at the original price. To those merchants who specialize in collecting stolen goods, they can only be sold at a 30% discount on the original goods, which can be exchanged for about 40,000 taels of silver.

    Counting those gold ingots and gold ingots, it was the first time in Ding Yunyi's life that he became a pirate and he made a lot of gains. He got 60,000 taels of silver in one go.

    Ding Yunyi felt heartbroken when he thought that he could only get 30% of the cargo in the blink of an eye.  But there is no way, these things are really hot to touch, and if you sell them yourself, you will be exposed immediately, which will cause a huge disaster.  And now that I am short of money, the sooner I can turn the things into cash, the better. I can only grit my teeth and hand them over to those black-hearted businessmen.

    According to the previous agreement with the brothers, 30% will be given to the brothers and 20% will be reserved as "public savings". After deducting these, Ding Yunyi will have 30,000 taels of silver at his disposal.

    This time Ding Yunyi lost four brothers and wounded six. After deducting pensions and disability funds, and including the Dutch sailors on the "Viking", each of them could receive more than a hundred taels of silver.  Everyone is happy.

    Being a pirate is indeed more promising than being an officer.

    Ding Yunyi was very poor when he first recruited soldiers, and only offered two taels of silver as a monthly salary.  To save these more than one hundred taels of silver, these soldiers had to sell their lives for several years without eating or drinking.  Now that I have gotten so much money out of thin air, how can I not be happy?

    Those Dutch sailors were even more happy.

    Originally, it would have been good to leave one life behind, but now the young leader Ding Yunyi treated them equally and gave them money. He only felt that following the Chinese had a bright future.

    It¡¯s a pity that they still don¡¯t know that the young man in front of them is a serious court official Being a pirate is just his "hobby"

    Zhang Xianxuan made some calculations and decided to transform the "Viking" into a brand-new "Challenger", which was absolutely impossible without a large sum of money.

    Ding Yunyi left him a few gold coins and asked him to purchase some modification items.  He took his brothers and "returned to the court with his teacher"

    Poleman and the Dutch sailors stayed on the Challenger to assist Zhang Xianxuan in completing the work.  Poleman thought it was incredible to think that he was originally a Dutch officer, but now he had become a pirate.

    Is there any way?  He had lost the bet to Ding Yunyi. If he didn't keep his promise, he would be cast aside. Even the sailors would no longer obey him.  Secondly, since I lost such a large amount of wealth from Governor Putmans, even if I go back, I will definitely receive the most severe punishment.

    After much deliberation, hanging out with these Chinese pirates became my only way out.

    Zhang Xianxuan's ship originally had no name. He thought it was very prestigious to give it a name, so he named it the "Follower" and appointed Poleman as the captain of the "Follower".  Half of the Hongyi sailors and half of the Chinese sailors were divided to serve as the crew of the "Follower".

    Now, Ding Yunyi already has two serious warships:

    "Challenger" and "Follower".

    Zhang Xianxuan was busy renovating the ship on the unknown island, while Ding Yunyi and a group of brothers returned to Penghu.

    Hong Tiaoyuan was very suspicious when he saw that they had been out at sea for two days and "an accident occurred during training", four of them died and six were injured.  How hard did my third brother train his brothers?

    Looking at it again, everyone in the family of those who died got a stroke of silver, and her heart was even more doubtful. Where did Ding Yunyi get the silver from?

    And the brothers were careful when moving a big box off the ship.No one else is allowed to approach. There are obviously valuables in this box.

    ¡°He didn¡¯t take his brothers out to sea to become pirates, right?  According to Ding Yunyi's character, this possibility definitely exists.

    But the thought passed by in a flash, and Hong Tiaoyuan forced himself not to think about it anymore.

    Whether Ding Yunyi is a pirate or not, he just pretends not to know.  Anyway, if the sky falls, my third brother will be there to hold it up.

    Qin Yun, who came to the dock to greet Ding Yunyi, was very happy. Looking at the appearance of the third brother, this trip to sea will be a great success.

    Ding Yunyi pulled him aside and quietly told him what he had gained from his trip to sea. Qin Yun was stunned.

    How could you have imagined that Putmans would have collected so many things from Taiwan?  But when I think about it again, Putmans is really "poor", having worked so hard to make a wedding dress for others.

    "Let the brothers be at peace during this period." Ding Yunyi whispered: "The disappearance of the 'Viking' will soon be known to Putmans. As long as he checks along the sea route, he will definitely know that the 'Viking' is missing."  The ship has been robbed. There are too many things involved in this matter. Zheng Zhilong will definitely come forward to investigate. We must not let him doubt us. With our current strength, Zheng Zhilong can strangle us to death with just one little finger.  ¡±

    "Yes, I know." Qin Yun nodded: "I will ask people to pay close attention to the movements of Zheng Zhilong and Taiwan."

    "Also." Ding Yunyi thought for a moment: "All the brothers who participated in the robbery this time were arranged to train in a nearby place. When the storm is over, they will return to Penghu and let Bao Juhua take them. Remember, remember, their lives have always been  Difficulty, we got a sum of money this time, we must not let them be too arrogant. Zheng Zhilong is so sophisticated, any flaw is enough to kill us. "

    Qin Yun agreed to them all, feeling that the third brother had thought things through carefully, and was afraid that he had already thought of everything before taking action.

    Ding Yunyi has to be so precise. This is a matter of losing his head. If the news leaks out, the little guy's life will be taken care of.

    ¡°I am not afraid of death, but I cannot harm those brothers who are going through life and death with me.
