In a blink of an eye, five or six days have passed.

During this period, except for the first day of trade, the transaction volume of Li Yuanqing's fleet exceeded 100,000 taels. In the following days, the best time was only 50,000 taels. On some days, it even hovered around 100,000 taels.

The scale is 20,000 taels.

In this way, after seven days, the total transaction amount of the fleet in Brunei was less than 300,000 taels, the gross profit was probably only 160,000 to 70,000 taels, and the net profit was probably not less than 100,000 taels.

Compared with the shrinking supply of goods in Manila, at this time in Brunei, even if the goods are fully opened, there is no food here.

However, there is joy as well as worry.

In the past few days, Li Yuanqing had pinpointed the exact location of the two groups of pirates through intelligence from local Chinese and indigenous people, as well as Ben Coster's personal relationship.

A group of people, nicknamed "Man-Eating Sharks".

It turned out to be the structure of a down-and-out royal family of a small country in the Indochina Peninsula. They were pirates belonging to an indigenous tribe. They had about dozens of ships and thousands of people.

They live on a small island in the deep sea that is densely covered with islands and reefs. The terrain is very complicated and it is about two days' journey from Brunei.

Their equipment is very backward and they have few firearms. They basically make a living by robbing small merchant ships and small fleets. They are extremely vicious and never leave anyone alive.

Another group of people, nicknamed "Hangman Jack".

He was born into a down-and-out Spanish noble.

Executioner Jack owned about a dozen large ships, which were stationed near the route from Brunei to Malacca. They were massive and powerful.

He is a very troublesome figure for governments of all countries.

However, this guy is quite particular and rarely attacks his compatriots, the Spaniards. However, the Dutch and Portuguese fleets have become the unlucky ones. Once they are targeted by him, they will almost certainly die!

Portuguese and Dutch officials have issued warnings and ultimatums to Spanish officials several times, but Spanish officials have been perfunctory and apparently did not take them seriously.

They also regarded Jack the Executioner as a magic weapon to restrain the Dutch and Portuguese.

In Li Yuanqing's captain's cabin, dozens of officers from the Changsheng Battalion gathered together.

Guan Canghai said: "The situation is roughly like this. Everyone, if you have any good ideas, please tell us and let's discuss it."

Xu Heizi frowned and said: "General, according to the intelligence, it is obviously more reliable to attack this group of man-eating sharks. Although they are large in number, their combat effectiveness is not strong, and they have no background. Let's take action

There shouldn’t be much of a problem if we get rid of them. However, these bastards are hiding too deep. We don’t know the terrain, and the islands and reefs near them may become a big trouble for us!”

Huang Guoshan said: "Master Hei is right. If we attack the man-eating shark, the gain will outweigh the loss. I estimate that these indigenous people will not be able to accumulate much wealth. If we go out rashly, we may even lose money!"

Shunzi said: "Then we can only attack Jack the Executioner! However, our warships are not as many as this guy's. If we can't capture him, this will be a serious matter! This

There is a Spaniard standing behind the boy!"

Niu Gensheng said: "This matter is indeed difficult to handle. Can we, can we hook this Jack out and kill him in a place we are familiar with?"

Kong Youde shook his head and said: "This matter is inappropriate. Even if we hook him out, if Jack the Executioner has strong firepower, it will still be difficult for us to do anything to him. The key is naval battles, we are really unfamiliar! We can't risk the lives of our sons easily.

! General, of these two, I choose the Man-Eating Shark Tribe. Even if it takes some time, we must do things properly to ensure victory! Build up the confidence of our sons first!"

Li Yuanqing took a sip of the cigar in his hand and nodded with a smile.

Kong Youde has grown really fast in the past few years, and he is worthy of being the first of the "Three Successful Kings" in the future!

He has clearly grasped the core of Li Yuanqing's attack on the pirates - that is, to build the confidence of the men.

After all, although the Changsheng Camp is powerful on land, naval battles are something that has never happened before.

Failure rashly, still in a foreign country, is definitely not fun!

"There's no rush on this matter! Let's discuss it carefully! Make sure everything is secure before making a decision! We still have plenty of time! Even if things don't go well, it's a big deal. If we sell all these goods to Macau, that's fine.

It’s not a loss!”

Since the Changsheng Camp began to implement the staff system, Li Yuanqing also deliberately delegated greater power to them.

Of course, these rights can only be in Li Yuanqing's cage.

For example, in terms of tactical discussions, Li Yuanqing created ample time and space for his generals, forcing them to learn and constantly use their imagination. Together, shoulder to shoulder, everyone learns and progresses together.

At this time, everyone nodded after hearing Li Yuanqing's words.

Li Yuanqing has given so much time and space. If they don't do well again, they will really have no face to face Li Yuanqing.

Guan Canghai thought deeply for a while and said: "General, I also agree with Xiao Kong's idea! In this matter, we must still focus on safety! We would rather have less things, but we must capture them! Besides, what kind of bird feather cannibal is this?

Sharks have been active in the South China Sea of ​​our Ming Dynasty, and they have also caused harm to the people of our Ming Dynasty. We encountered them this time, and we should get rid of this harm for these people!"

Xu Heizi also nodded and said: "Well! This matter is the safest! General, if time is not urgent, then~~, we will spend ten or eight days to carefully collect information about this man-eating shark. In addition, we will also collect this or something

Executioner Jack's investigation is more detailed. Who knows when they will reveal their flaws first?"

…………

After the combat meeting, it was already afternoon, and Li Yuanqing was a little tired.

Maintaining high-intensity mental work all the time is really a very tiring thing, not to mention that there must be no mistakes in these things, even if they are not even one cent, otherwise it may be a disaster!

Li Yuanqing lit a cigar, stood on the bow of the boat, and looked at the scenery on the dock. Li Yuanqing's mind gradually began to relax.

Although they are in a foreign country, Brunei admires the culture of the Ming Dynasty. Even though they have become Muslim, there are still many Ming-style buildings on the pier, mixed with Western-style and Muslim-style buildings. Although slightly

They seem messy, but they complement each other.

After staying in Brunei for these days, Li Yuanqing also had a preliminary understanding of some of the local population structure.

The number of Chinese in Brunei is at least 10,000, and most of them make a living through business. Some of them come here to fish or farm.

Compared with other port cities in Southeast Asia, generally speaking, the atmosphere in Brunei is the most harmonious.

Although white-haired monkeys are indispensable for showing off their power, there are very few cases of directly injuring people with weapons. This is already quite rare in Southeast Asia at this time.

While he was thinking about it, Li Yuanqing's eyes suddenly lit up.

He saw a small waist that he was very familiar with.

For a moment, the figures of several female guards came closer and closer from the direction of the dock. Sure enough, Li Yuanqing did not mistake it, it was Zhang Chunxue.

They seemed to be going to buy snacks, big and small bags, and they were chatting and laughing non-stop.

An indescribable smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Li Yuanqing's mouth.

These days, this little goblin has done a lot of harm to him!

Although almost all the female relatives around Li Yuanqing are more beautiful than Zhang Chunxue, the youth and vitality in her are something that others do not have.

This also made Li Yuanqing feel very regretful. Why did he pretend to be a gentleman that day?

With his current financial resources, raising a little woman is not as easy as raising a bird.

Not to mention, when Li Yuanqing established the female guards, he had already planned that he would select a few of the female guards to serve as his concubines!

It seems that this reason seems to be a bit lascivious and 'above all', but in fact, in this era, it is the best way to improve female guards, or improve the status of women!

Li Yuanqing's big ship is very conspicuous.

At this time, Zhang Chunxue also saw the familiar tall figure on the big boat. Unknowingly, her steps had slowed down, her head lowered slightly, and her pretty face was already blushing.

"Haruyuki, what are you doing standing around here? Come on. These lobsters are pretty good. Go back and let the fire soldiers cook them for us."

Qi Caifeng, the female guard commander, smiled and gave Zhang Chunxue a hand.

"Hey? Okay."

Zhang Chunxue had already seen Li Yuanqing at this time. Although she did not dare to look at Li Yuanqing, she could clearly feel that Li Yuanqing's eyes were fixed on her.

At this time, Qi Caifeng and the others also saw Li Yuanqing, and greeted him with a smile: "I'll see the general for my humble rank!"

Li Yuanqing smiled: "No need! What a good day today is? You actually bought so many good things?"

Qi Caifeng smiled and said: "General, Zhongyuan Night is coming soon, sisters, celebrate in advance!"

"Haha. If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten about it! We must have a good celebration on Zhongyuan Night."

Qi Caifeng and the other girls were all overjoyed, "Thank you, General."

Seeing them about to leave on a nearby boat, Li Yuanqing suddenly couldn't help but said: "Zhang Chunxue!"

"Ai?"

Zhang Chunxue was stunned immediately, and her pretty face turned red with embarrassment.

Li Yuanqing also realized that this little girl was a little too sensitive, so he smiled and said: "You pinched my shoulder very well last time. My shoulder has been hurting in the past few days, please pinch it for me."

Qi Caifeng and the other girls all reacted and couldn't help but look at Zhang Chunxue with envy, "Chunxue, the general is calling you! What are you doing standing around? Go quickly."

"Huh? Oh."

Zhang Chunxue was like a wooden man, a little stupid, and boarded Li Yuanqing's boat.

Li Yuanqing had already come to the stairs to wait for her. He smiled and said, "What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhang Chunxue also reacted at this time, but she didn't dare to look at Li Yuanqing's face. She whispered like a mosquito: "General, no, no. A humble position, a humble position is very good..."

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Little girl, she has a pretty good drinking capacity. I have nothing to do today. Come on, come with me to find a restaurant on the shore and have a good drink!"

"Huh? Yes."

Zhang Chunxue nodded hurriedly as if she had turned into a puppet.
