The British East India Company originally had a dedicated dock and a dedicated warehouse in Macau!

The dedicated wharf is located at the deepest part of the Inner Harbor of Haojiang. It has a very good location and is almost close to the Guanzha River. This Guanzha River is the boundary river between Xiangshan County under the Qing Dynasty and the Macau colony under the rule of Portugal.

In the future, the east side of the Guanzha River will be completely silted by mud and sand, which will turn Macau from an island to a peninsula. However, now, the Guanzha River is still an east-west boundary river. The south side of the river is the world of the Portuguese, and the north side of the Qing Dynasty is the world!

Although this place is not the "city center" of Macau, Shang Kexi's "Xiangshan-Macao Free Trade" is carried out through the Guanzha River. On the north bank of the Guanzha River, Shang Kexi sent people to circle a large area of ​​land with wooden fences on the north bank of the Guanzha River, which is called the "Guanzha Quota Site".

However, unlike ordinary cases, this Xiangshan case is an illegal case of smuggling.

It is different from ordinary smuggling. The smuggling in Xiangshan must be illegally paid taxes and must be subject to illegal inspections by the vassals of the Prince of Pingnan. The inability to smuggle goods that may threaten the entry of the Qing Dynasty's Pingnan King Shang Kexi!

Of course, even if you pay enough taxes and still properly traffic in goods that are not threatening to the Qing Dynasty, you are still a smuggling businessman!

Because the Portuguese Macau colonies and Xiangshan Quotation themselves violated the Qing court's coastal migration order and were not allowed to exist at all!

However, at present, Xiangshan Quechang and Macau south of Guanzha River are both lively. Illegal smuggling trade is almost flying! Because everyone has received news... Shang Kexi's King Pingnan will not work for a long time!

Wu Sangui is coming to Guangdong soon, and he has sent people to Guangzhou to see houses during the Chinese New Year.

When Wu Sangui comes, not to mention the new king taking office, he really burned all the Portuguese in Macau into the Eight Banners. At least he has to add a few times the smuggling tax, right?

Therefore, whether it is the foreign merchants in Macau or the smugglers in Xiangshan, they must seize this last opportunity and work hard... In addition, the smuggling taxes in the Pingnan Prince's Mansion have increased significantly during this period.

While merchants and foreigners were busy smuggling, the officials of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion collected smuggling taxes, more powerful laborers gathered from Guangzhou, Zhaoqing, Huizhou and other places to Xiangshan Quechang to make a living. The transactions in Xiangshan Quechang are quite large, and a large amount of labor is needed to help load and unload ships, transport goods and deliver goods. However, because the three prefectures of Guangzhou, Zhaoqing and Huizhou have developed many landless and landless proletarians because of the coastal migration of the border, they have to go to Xiangshan to sell their labor.

But I don’t know how long this coolie-selling business can last? Maybe when Wu Sangui comes, everyone’s jobs will be ruined.

So the people who sell coolies have also worked very hard during this period. As long as they still have the strength, they should work hard!

When the Great Oriental took nine old gate ships to the dock, hundreds or thousands of coolies in short clothes or shirtless clothes had already rushed from the other side of the Guanzha River to outside the fence of the dock through a floating bridge jointly controlled by the Portuguese Peace Peace Nanwangfu Fan Dian from the other side of the Guanzha River to the outside of the fence of the dock.

This made Zhu Heying, who was watching with a Qianli Mile Mile Deck on the Great Oriental Deck, and his saliva was almost flowing down... He hadn't seen so many strong men in several months!

He was still sighing while watching, "Okay, okay, all are good men! They all look very young, not over thirty-five years old, that's great... Hahaha!"

Although Zhu Heying also ran an industry in his previous life, he worked in a high-value-added industry - the profits of high-imitation industries are still very guaranteed! Therefore, the salaries he offered to workers are very high, so he would not have to worry about not being able to hire people. He had no feelings about the difficulty of hiring workers at all.

And in this life, he truly understood what it is to "difficulty in employed"!

There is really no one!

Even if half of Jieyang County was captured, even if one township and one township went to search for people, Zhu Hetong had only gathered a standing army of more than 1,000 people, some of which were not adults.

The scene of hundreds or thousands of strong men queuing up for employment is simply something that only happens in dreams.

"Criminal Master," Zhou Chaoxian stood beside Zhu Heying with a smile on his face, and introduced very conscientiously, "How many people are there? And what about it! Look at where, are the sheds on the other side of Guanzha River?"

Zhu Heying hurriedly pointed the Qianli Mirror at the north bank of Guanzha River where Zhou Chaoxian pointed, and saw a large crowded simple wooden shed...it looked like a refugee camp!

However, this place like a refugee camp is more pleasing to the eyes of Zhu Hetong than the palace.

Because the people living there are proletarians from Guangzhou, Huizhou and Zhaoqing! As long as they master them, Zhu Hetian dare not say that they can get the whole world, but at least they can take over the entire Guangzhou soon!

At this time, the Great Oriental had already stopped on the dock and had put down the springboard. Lin Ahu, who was in charge of commanding the troops to capture the dock, and Zhao Hongkui, who was in charge of taking the lead, both came to Zhu Heying and waited for him to give orders.

"Chaoxian, Zhanshan," Zhu Hetian first pointed out the names of Zhou Chaoxian and Su Zhanshan, "You bring a brother of the leader, and then bring a hundred kilograms of silver and a moor bottle outside the wooden fence, and hire everyone first!

When the smoke comes together later, you will drive them to the other side of Guanzha River... and tell them in the official language of the Northern Territory that we are from the Prince's Mansion, and we have been ordered by the Prince to recover Macau, so that they will not panic. When they look back, the Prince has some good errands to do for them!"

This lies was taught by Zhuge Military Advisor Zhu Hezhi. The great military advisor is now lying in the cabin because of seasickness, but the military advisor still has to do a good job!

Zhou Chaoxian and Su Zhanshan immediately received the military order and got off the ship with the young soldiers who had been on standby.

Zhu Heying then said to Zhao Hongkui, Yu Xiaoqian, and Lin Tianbo: "Hongkui, Xiaoqian, Tianbo, you three bring your brothers with you to carry the smoke bucket and get off the boat and set up an ambush!"

"Get orders!"

After receiving the order, Zhao Hongkui and others immediately led their troops to carry dozens of wooden barrels along the springboard and got off the boat. The barrels contained sweet gunpowder, but the formula was different from the ones filled with grenade hammers, and they were specially used for smoking.

"Ahu," Zhu and the emperor said to Lin Ahu, "You go and command the brothers on the old gate of A-1. When the smoke on the shore rises, you take them off the boat to occupy the dock and the East India Company's store."

"Get orders!"

Lin Ahu got the order and got off the ship and left the No. 1 Old Gate. The four-leadered young artillery soldiers were squeezed on the ship. In addition, the four-leadered young artillery commanded by Su Zhanshan, Zhao Hongkui, Yu Xiaoqian, Lin Tianbo and others, a total of eight elite soldiers were about to join the dock ambush.

After the arrangement was completed, Zhu Heying finally looked relaxed at another Jinyi personal army leader on the Great Eastern, and Su Zhanhai, the first official leader of the horse army, said: "Go and invite me Goff, Smith and Jones... I want to witness the history of the end of colonialism on Chinese land with them!"

......

Zhu Hezhi was very noble and wanted to witness the historical moment when colonialism ended in China with the three foreigners, but these three "white right" foreigners only wanted to see China's "black magic"... They had to figure out whether there was "black magic" before they could decide whether to colonize while standing or kneeling to make money?

So when more than a dozen "smoke buckets" on the dock and on the Big East were lit, and a huge amount of white smoke surged out from the small wooden barrels like a magic trick, Goff, Smith, Jones and the other three were almost falling out!

This is really dark magic!

Otherwise, how could such a large smoke be hidden in such a small wooden barrel? The big smoke covers the dock and the Big East. Those who don’t know think it’s on fire!
Chapter completed!
