1717 New American Empire

Chapter 160 The tempted Ijik

Ijik has been really proud of himself recently. Since relying on the Charles family to get involved in the flourishing Yanhuang Trading Company, he has made up for his previous losses. Relying on the slave and commodity trade with the company, Ijik's business has also grown.

He is no longer limited to slave trade and underworld extortion. Just selling the company's industrial products is enough to support all his subordinates, and he has even begun to expand the number of subordinates.

The company has a constant demand for black slaves. These black people can not only serve as the company's lowest-level labor force, but also serve as a source of garrison troops in times of emergency. The key is that the price is not expensive and the requirements are not many. As long as they have enough food and warm clothes,

If you are abused and sexually humiliated, you will be obedient. The first four Xiaolin can completely guarantee it, but the latter one does not need Xiaolin guarantee. No white man or Indian will choose a black person of the opposite sex to be a partner.

Rather than letting the enemy obtain a huge number of black slaves and turn them into his own assets, he should try his best to accept them. In just a few months, Ijik sold more than 8,000 black slaves to Xiaolin. Ijik now also

It was good to know that there was someone behind the scenes. Seeing that the Charles family had directly betrayed Britain and fell directly into the arms of the company, Ijik also had his thoughts moved. He came to the Yuri Town managed by Alger and met with Alger as the mayor.

.

Although he was said to be a mayor, Ijik felt that even if he was replaced by the mayor of a British colony, he would not do it. Xiri Town is the company's heavy industry center selected by Xiao Lin. Xiri Town is located between Shengli Town and Starting Town.

In the middle of the country, the geographical location is also good. The enemy will not easily get around and attack. The heavy industrial factories used to build the backbone of the country are the best. Because Alger is Xiao Lin's father-in-law, he also actively betrayed the British and seceded from the white people.

Trustworthy enough.

It goes without saying that Alger's ability to manage the Charles family by himself is not the same as that of Eagle, who must be reused by Xiao Lin. Eagle also knows his own shortcomings, so naturally he has no problem with it, but he seems to be aroused by Alger.

, and began to take the initiative to learn. Not to mention these, because of these factors, Alger became the mayor of Xuri Town. Xiao Lin did not have so many talents, let alone established a party, so he abolished the town committee secretary

In the establishment of the organization, the mayor is the real leader.

Naturally, Xiao Lin separated military and political affairs. The only armed forces that Alger could command were the 100 policemen in the police station and the 200 newly formed militiamen. However, these were nothing. His eldest son, Toss,

But a brigade commander with three thousand soldiers under his command can

Even according to the weapon arrangement of the garrison, the combat effectiveness exceeds that of the previous three thousand private soldiers. Alger is not a corrupt person. Under Xiao Lin's high salary policy, a town mayor can only live on salary, subsidies and bonuses.

Much better than a powerful baron.

The key thing is that no one from the Adams family is against him. Alger is only forty years old. With the company's medical treatment, there is no problem in living to seventy. As long as he makes achievements, as Xiao Lin's father-in-law,

, the official position will definitely rise all the way. I think

After understanding this, Ijik also wanted to learn from Alger. Now, everyone can see that unless more than 100,000 local regular troops land, the British will not be able to eliminate the company. The rise of the company has become unstoppable, and many people want to

Jump aboard this giant ship before it's too late.

However, after thinking about it, Yijik realized that there was nothing he could do except transport more black slaves to the company. As for the underworld forces, the company has been committed to eradicating them. How dare he use these as capital.

Even if you want to find out the information, there are four spy assassins trained by Xiao Lin from the Achilles Free Assassin Alliance. At most, they can only provide a few tools, and they are not even qualified to kill many people.

Therefore, he is not in a hurry to merge into the company. He wants to continue to lurk, bring more black slaves to the company, accumulate enough merits, wait until the right time, and then directly show his flag and rely on his merits to join the company

A high position. And with his current strength, it will take a lot of time to achieve this goal. The company's demand for black slaves is at least two thousand each time. The people of Ijik can only transport a year.

Two times, only two thousand people, is not enough.

Even the largest slave leader in Boston only has five frigates that were "retired" from the army early and one cruiser with the same treatment. The most powerful weapons of these six battleships are three twelve-pound cannons, and the others are all

The six-pounder is the main force. After all, he only works alone and cannot compare with the slave trading team organized by the state. With this strength, he can only protect three transport ships. Even so, he must be careful not to provoke large-scale pirate groups.

.

Only by strengthening his strength can he have the confidence to expand the number of slaves. In terms of ships, the company whose territory is now inland cannot help. However, in terms of weapons, who else dares to compete with the company in this era. Ijik please Al

Jie handed over his willingness to surrender, the reason for purchasing weapons, and his own guarantee, and Xiao Lin agreed to sell him weapons and equipment. It happened that there was a batch of Hall M1819 rifles and seventeen British heavy artillery that had been repaired by the company, and Xiao Lin sold them all.

Gave it to them, and added some grenades and revolvers.

However, Xiao Lin also made him a condition. He no longer wanted black slaves, but yellow slaves. Whether they were Koreans, Japanese, or even Qing Dynasty people in this era, he needed them all. As a Chinese,

He knows best the power of his own people. As long as he is properly guided, Hua

The power that the Xia people exploded was enough to make the whole world look at them. The Koreans and Japanese people, in this era, were very obedient populations, and as farming races, the same farmland produced food in their hands.

But it is more than 1.5 times that of whites and Indians.

There are seventeen heavy guns, the smallest of which is a nine-pounder. The remaining thirteen twelve-pounders and three eighteen-pounders. Once these guns are installed, the power of the six small battleships becomes more than a little stronger.

.And with the Hall M1819 rifle, grenades and revolvers, if there is a boarding battle, six ships can definitely fight three. Xiao Lin half-sold these weapons and half gave them away, and Ijik did not spend much at all.

Money. Just a little thought spent on transporting it back.

After the equipment was ready, Ijik directly led the team and set off in person. Charlie's attention has not been on him recently, and his previous opponents have also been conquered by the company. There is danger for him to go out, but it is not great. Ijik directly followed the instructions on the ship.

The instruction manual given by the company requires them to train their subordinates. They are not required to become well-disciplined regular troops, but at least they must fully understand the performance of the weapons in their hands. A month after going to sea, Ijik began to enter the eastern waters of the Pacific. According to estimates, it should be close to the Korean Peninsula.

.

It was also the first time for Yijik to come here, and he was a little unsure. Even with the 21st century charts provided by Xiao Lin, he was afraid that something might happen to the fleet. He stared at it all night, and nothing happened.

He went to bed tiredly. He hadn't slept for long when suddenly a huge alarm sounded on his cruiser No. Servant. This alarm system was used for the first time since he bought it from Xiao Lin and installed it.

.

No matter how tired he was, he forced himself to hold on and came to the bow. At this time, his confidant, the original captain, had already raised the high-power binoculars that Xiao Lin had sold to them at the bow. Until Iggy

Ke patted him on the shoulder and he put down the telescope.

"Mensa, what's going on?"

"Boss, we discovered five Portuguese ships."

"Portuguese ships? So what? As long as we don't provoke them, we should be fine."

"This, boss, their secondary flag seems very familiar. I remember it was the same one used by the Portuguese profiteer George Ricardo's slave-trading team when we invaded Africa."

"Oh? George, he's the fat-headed guy who blocked us once, right? We are really enemies of each other. It was five years ago since we last fought. I thought he was dead, but I didn't expect him to arrive.

It’s a mess here. Could it be that he also came here to deceive slaves? What’s that called, oh, piggy.”

"It's very possible, boss. I found two transport merchant ships among them. They are probably piggies."

"Ahem, I just want to say this. Don't say it nonsense in the future. The big boss doesn't know what's going on, but he has a very fond impression of these yellow-skinned people."

"Hey, no matter what, as long as you make money, that's fine."

"You're right. Order to go down and prepare for battle. We must encircle the enemy before they discover us."

"yes!"

As early as 1517 to 1550, the Portuguese went to Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang to traffic in Chinese laborers. Portugal has a special relationship with South America (such as Brazil) in history. It must be the first choice to transport a large number of Chinese coolies. The Chinese in China

South America overcame obstacles, cultivated tea and cultivated fields, panned for gold and built roads, mined and opened rivers, shed blood and sweat, and worked with the local indigenous people to open up a rich and beautiful South America.

Later, part of the territory was classified as the territory of the United States (for example, a large area of ​​territory that originally belonged to Mexico was classified as its own by the United States). A considerable number of Chinese workers were also transferred to the United States and Canada and became permanent residents of North America. The Germans

In his book "A World Travel in 1871", Buna Alexander determined that most of the immigrants in the western United States were "immigrated from the south." In California alone, there are approximately 80,000 to 100,000 Chinese.

migrant.

The Portuguese opened "Barakeng" (recruitment hall in Portuguese, insulting the abducted Chinese as "piglets", so they were also called piglet halls) in Macau. In 1851, they opened 5 stores. Xiao Lin doesn't know what the situation is now.

, but it may not be much better.
