Chapter 78 Mercenary

"You Zhao family really know how to change the situation with Feng." Uluci's eyes rolled and he thought for a while.

"I don't want to care about the grudges between you Tangren and the Spanish, but this business..." Uluci glanced at Zhao Ke.

"Master Wu, for the sake of having been in the same chamber of commerce for more than 20 years, let's take the Zhao family." Seeing that Uluci's face was unstable, as if he was considering something, Zhao Ke hurriedly begged.

"Okay," Seeing Zhao Ke's appearance, Uluci waved impatiently.

"Why did Master Wu agree?" Zhao Ke was overjoyed.

"Don't be too happy first." Uluci poured a basin of cold water directly.

"Since the pirates attacked the wharf, the Ming people are now like frightened birds. The entire Weigan Harbour is full of Ming soldiers. How to transport the six cargoes to the wharf is a problem. It is said that the road is extremely dangerous and the pirates are eyeing each sea route, which is difficult." Uluci sighed slightly and glanced at Zhao Ke with a meaningful look.

"Young Master Wu, don't worry. These days, the Zhao family used the clutch to transport various materials to the pier to the pier. Therefore, people from the Ming army would not care about the actions of Zhao's ships in the harbor. The Zhao family's clutch would be delivered directly to this. The people from the Chamber of Commerce would transport six ships of cargo to the merchant ship." Seeing Uluci's playful look,

Zhao Ke gritted his teeth,

"As for the dangerous journey, the Zhao family will thank you again after the matter is completed."

After hearing Zhao Ke's words, Uluci finally nodded with satisfaction.

“When will you set out?”

"The faster the better," Zhao Ke came up,

“It’s tomorrow night,”

"Okay," Uluci agreed,

"Hello, I'll go back to the Zhao family to report." After Uluci's answer, Zhao Ke was ecstatic and hurriedly bid farewell to Uluci and turned around and walked to the shore.

Watching Zhao Ke's figure drifting away from the dock,

"Go and call Captain Mutafi." Uluci ordered a servant beside him.

The servant immediately set off and soon brought a strong middle-aged man over.

"Uluci, I heard you have something to do with me." The man who looked like an Arab came over,

"Our Chamber of Commerce still has several merchant ships in the port, and I mean a large ship equipped with artillery." Uluci said.

The man frowned and looked at Uluci in confusion.

"There are not many of these big ships themselves. A while ago, five ships were carrying cargo to Lavag. Now there are eleven large ships equipped with artillery left in the port. What do you want to do?" Mutafi looked at Uluci alertly.

"The last time Uluci took advantage of my drunkenness that you incited my subordinates to privately launch the boat out of the Ming people, which made the Chamber of Commerce very dissatisfied. What do you want to do this time?"

Captain Mutafi really has no good feelings for this son of the president of the Weigan Chamber of Commerce who has been making trouble all day long.

However, as the captain hired by the Vigan Chamber of Commerce at a high salary, he couldn't say anything.

"I want you to ship a batch of goods to Manila." Uluci said.

“Training goods, Manila?”

"Is it the same as the last time the fleet secretly left the port to Lavag? It was the decision of the Vigan Chamber of Commerce." Mutafi asked in confusion.

"No," Uluci shook his head,

"It's a private order, and I have a good friend who commissioned me to transport six ships of grain to Manila."

"Of course, it's actually these Chinese merchants who want to impress the Juan Governor in Manila with six ships of gold, silver and jewelry." Uluci smiled.

"oh,"

"It seems that the Spaniards will be back to Vigan soon." Mutafi said jokingly.

"But Uluci, the sea is not safe recently. These pirates dare to attack at the port. If they really send six merchant ships to Manila, they will be robbed by pirates in the middle of the journey."

"These armed merchant ships are not mine or you Uluci's, but from the Weigan Chamber of Commerce. If something really happens, I will not be able to bear this responsibility." Mutafi spoke with a sad face.

"I just asked you to take six ships out of the port and didn't really let you go to Manila." Uluci sneered,

"What does it mean," Mutafi arrived just now and didn't know much about the previous situation.

"These Chinese businessmen really feel that they can sway and get along in front of Ming and Spanish, but they don't know that in the eyes of the Spanish, they are just a group of lambs to be slaughtered."

"Even if these six gold and silver treasures are transported to Manila, the Governor Juan will only accept them with a smile, and then continue to discuss how to divide the assets of these Chinese merchants." Uluci shook his head, and his eyes suddenly became cold.

"Anyway, they are all going to die. If that's the case, why should we bother to send the treasures of the six ships to the Spanish for free?"

"I understand what you mean."

"These Chinese merchants are no different from those decades ago. They always feel that they can escape by giving up a little wealth. In the end, they are just lambs slaughtered by red-haired ghosts. Since that's the case, it's better to intercept these six ships in the middle and treat them as compensation for the Chinese merchants' betrayal of the Weigan Chamber of Commerce." Mutafi agreed very much.

"The Zhao family will use a speedboat to deliver the cargo to the dock tomorrow night. You choose six ships to pick up the cargo. After the cargo reaches the cabin, you will immediately leave the port and go to Manila."

"But," Uluci paused again,

Seeing Uluci looking at him with a malicious look, Mutafi also showed a cold expression.

"Don't worry, I'll ask the mercenaries to kill these people in the middle of the journey, and then send the goods to Manila. When the fleet arrives in Manila, it is estimated that the Spaniards have rescued Vigan. Even if the Spaniards take over the assets of Vigan Huashang alone, we will not have a share of the pie."

"It's just a pity that so many Chinese merchants in Vigan are so rich that they will be cheap and cheap." Uluci sighed softly.

“That may not be,

"When the Spanish returned to Weigan and massacre Chinese merchants, the Chamber of Commerce will inevitably send mercenaries to rob Chinese merchants' assets. For mercenaries, killing and setting fires are their strengths." Mutafi couldn't help but show a greedy look as he said.

"No matter what, we have to wait until the Spaniards cleared the siege of Ravag and defeated the damn pirates." Uluci stopped talking about these far-reaching things.

"When it comes to pirates, this is quite troublesome." Mutafi, who had just talked about looting Chinese merchant assets, started to look solemn when he heard the pirates.

"You know that these pirates dare to fight even at the Vigan Port, let alone six merchant ships that slipped out of their noses. If those six ships were to arrive in Manila safely, I would probably have to take more than half of the mercenaries away from the escort."

"Is this how?" Uluci was also a little embarrassed.

As a chamber of commerce, in addition to arming merchant ships, it naturally has a brave and warlike mercenary armed force.

These were Arabs and local tribes with a large number of mercenaries, with more than 200 people.

In addition to cold weapons, various types of muskets were also prepared.

In addition to escorting on merchant ships on a daily basis, the blocks and docks of the Weigan Chamber of Commerce are also protected.

It is the most powerful armed force except for the Wei-Ganming Army.
