Thunder Emperor

Porcelain has been the best-selling product in Europe since the Northern Song Dynasty in China. At that time, the country that held the lifeline of the most high-end products in Europe was the Netherlands. As the country with the most developed navigation technology in the world at that time, the Netherlands was the wealth center of the whole of Europe at that time. The entire Dutch royal family It is to stand on porcelain and look down upon the whole of Europe.

But with the passage of time, along with the progress of history, porcelain, a commodity that has been a symbol of wealth and status in the hearts of European nobles, gradually disappeared in European countries in the decree of the Ming Dynasty to move borders and ban the sea. In the eyes of the nobles.

In order to supplement the demand for porcelain in the European market, the Netherlands began to fire porcelain experimentally, but this kind of porcelain, which is very brittle and easily damaged, cannot satisfy Europe's pursuit of porcelain. From the ancient and mysterious East, the merchant ship that brought back porcelain.

Before Liu Qiang returned to the plane of reality, he used his huge financial resources and spent about 3000 million to clean up the largest porcelain market in Xijing and brought a large amount of porcelain to the era of Pirates of the Caribbean. Inexpensive modern porcelain, earning great gold fortunes throughout European markets.

Tea and porcelain are like uppercuts left and right. Baron Arlande couldn't even breathe. Liu Qiang uses the modern agency system. The scope, price and sales object of the treaty, so that Liu Qiang successfully pushed Baron Arlande out of the high-end market that he had already controlled.

This made Baron Arlande, who had already become the largest tea merchant in Europe, almost come to Liu Qiang with a musket for a duel, but Liu Qiang would not give him any breathing time. When the tea and porcelain were worrying, his butler told him the bad news. The most important oil business of the Arlande family was hit by a new type of oil and they didn't even buy a barrel.

The main edible oils in Europe in the seventeenth century were olive oil from Spain and the fish oil industry from England. Olive oil was a patented commodity enjoyed by the aristocrats, and the most widely used fish oil was the general public, the most important source of edible oil. This industry had been controlled by the Arland family before, but Liu Qiang used the opportunity of his second temporary return to transport back [-] tons of rapeseed oil, which shocked the entire British edible oil market.

In the whole of Europe in the seventeenth century, because of the high price of olive oil and the unpleasant smell of fish oil, edible oils have always been the biggest problem in the diet of the people. After the market, olive oil and fish oil completely lost the entire British market in just one week.

As the absolute boss of the former oil market, most of Baron Arland's wealth was invested in the oil industry by him. After suffering such a severe blow, Baron Arland was almost on the verge of bankruptcy.This time Liu Qiang spent a total of nearly [-] million in cash, completely shattering the business empire that the Arland family spent nearly a hundred years building in three months.

During the three months when Liu Qiang blocked Arlande, Liu Hun led the later Barbosa's pirate group, and together with the three warships sent by Windsor, fought in the Strait of Gibraltar, looting and sinking as many as 45 Spanish ships. Ships, including as many as 27 merchant ships and Spanish royal gold ships, brought wealth to the entire United Kingdom that surpassed the combined national tax revenue of the previous five years.

The port of London is very lively today. This is the second time this month. The Mojiao entered the noisy port with three warships operating together and escorting four transport ships full of spoils.The Duke of Windsor and Liu Qiang stood side by side on the pier, watching warships and transport ships enter the port, with smiles from their hearts on their faces.

Dude Windsor stood in front of the Duke of Windsor like a straight pine tree in a military uniform covered in cannon dust. Looking at his son who had completely changed his appearance, Windsor felt that his cooperation with this Eastern general was his own. One of the most accurate decisions I have made in this life, my eldest son who used to only know how to eat at home and wait to die, has become so masculine in just three months, exuding the temperament of an iron-blooded soldier all over his body, Completely changed.

"Father! I have lived up to your expectations. During these three months, under the guidance of First Officer Liu Hun and Mr. Barbosa, I have fully grasped the essence of naval warfare, and in this battle with the Spanish Navy fleet During the battle, you commanded your flagship, the Fury, to sink two enemy ships one after another, and successfully intercepted two Spanish gold ships in the previous battle!" After listening to his son's report, the Duke of Windsor Knowing that among them, Liu Qiang deliberately forfeited the credit to his son, which made him appreciate this mysterious Eastern general even more.

The Duke of Windsor was very happy that Liu Qiang trained his son so spiritedly, and also expressed his heartfelt thanks to Liu Qiang for the military exploits that Liu Qiang leaked to his son!Because of his performance in the past three months, Liu Qiang will be crowned by Queen Elizabeth. Together with the son of the Duke of Windsor, he will be awarded the title of Viscount by the royal family. This is also the first oriental Viscount in British history on this plane.

It was a sunny morning, and Liu Qiang, dressed in military uniform, and Dude Windsor walked solemnly and slowly into the ceremony hall of Buckingham Palace. This was the first time Liu Qiang met Queen Elizabeth I, a legendary woman who was nearly 50 years old Just smiling, sitting on his throne looking at Liu Qiang and his nephew.

After a morning's conferring ceremony, Liu Qiang became a viscount in England in the [-]th century, and also got a manor on the outskirts of London as his fief. A small river flows through it, and Liu Qiang, who got the fief, directly ordered Liu Hun to tear down the original dilapidated house here and start building a castle full of oriental colors.

The castle covers an area of ​​about 21 square meters, and its height is expected to reach an astonishing [-] meters. The outer wall of the castle will be designed like a Chinese city wall, while the interior will absorb the style of traditional Chinese courtyard houses. Once the castle is completed, it will be Yes, a strange building with an ordinary appearance but a luxurious interior.

Liu Qiang released all the clone fighters in the portable space, plus the original fighters on the Mojiao. At this time, Liu Qiang's men have a total of 500 people who can use them. These fighters have transformed into construction workers at this time. The foundation construction of the castle is being carried out day and night.

During the construction of his oriental castle, Liu Qiang took Barbosa and Lei Jiede, the manager of the Black Dragon Trading Company, to Prussia, which is located in the hinterland of Europe.At this time, Prussia had just stepped out of the hell of war. Before the various nobles and knight families, because of the constant wars due to the religious reform, the Frederick family, the Prussian royal family, could only try their best to mediate from it. There was no other way. .

The ancient Munich was a rare prosperous place in Prussia in the [-]th century. Here, Liu Qiang could not see that Prussia has just emerged from the haze of war, and the streets of Munich are full of literary and artistic atmosphere.But it is such a seemingly peaceful city. If you pay attention, you will see a large number of homeless refugees in shabby clothes, shivering in dark corners, waiting to die coming.

Liu Qiang found a relatively clean hotel in the center of Munich, and directly rented the entire hotel, which only cost a small amount of money. During dinner, he, Barbosa, and Lei Jiede exchanged their views on each other. Views of the city.

"BOSS! I think this place is full of unlimited business opportunities. If we ship those cheap goods here to sell, I will definitely be able to directly occupy the entire Prussian market!" Lei Jiede's implicit confusion here caused Due to the extreme shortage of commodities in China, they hold the view that business opportunities are everywhere.

"Then tell me, if we sell goods here, what will sell the best? And how can we ensure that our Shanglu will always be unimpeded?" Liu Qiang asked Lei Jiede his own question.

"We can transport the goods directly to Hamburg in the north by sea, and then conduct centralized sales of the goods there! We only do the first-level sales of the goods, and leave the other distribution to various forces. In this case, our risk It will be reduced to the minimum, but the profit is still in our own hands!"

"If this is the case, will it cause trouble? You must know that there is an undercurrent in Prussia now! As far as I know, the knights and various nobles here are attacking each other in order to ensure their own interests. If we are like this If we pour a pot of oil on it, will these forces be jealous and attack us, so we may not even be able to keep our money!" What Barbosa said was also what Liu Qiang was worried about.

"Yes! Barbosa is right! Lei Jiede! Although your plan is highly feasible, it will attract the attention of major local forces, which will have a bad impact on our next plan, so we have to Think of a way! Lei Jiede, what do you think of us doing smuggling?"

Liu Qiang's words directly stunned Lei Jiede and Barbosa. None of them thought that their boss would think of smuggling, so they asked at the same time: "Smuggling? Smuggling what? How?"

Liu Qiang looked at the two people who were a little confused, and said with a smile: "The smuggling I'm talking about is two-way. First, we smuggle weapons and food to Germany. These are two kinds of goods that this country urgently needs. In the hands of the forces, the impact is that this country will continue to be chaotic. The more chaotic the more refugees, we will smuggle those homeless refugees to Spain and give them a small amount of weapons. Think about these homeless people Refugees who have nothing to live on, wandering in Spain with weapons in hand, what will they end up doing?"

"What would you do? If I were me, I would gather some people, rob houses, kill people and set fires, but would those refugees do this! You must know that the Spaniards are not easy to deal with!" Barbosa first said his answer, but then raised his concerns.

"Barbosa! What did you do before becoming a pirate? Did you ever think that you would become a pirate one day?" Liu Qiang asked Barbosa with a smile while drinking red wine.

"Before I became a pirate! At that time I was just a small businessman! Who would have thought that I could be a pirate at that time! Isn't this also forced!"

"Yeah! You are forced to be a pirate by life! Then those refugees who don't even have wild vegetables and don't even have a rain cloth, why can't they be thugs who kill and set fire? I think as long as someone guides them , they will do better than you, of course I'm talking on land!"

In this way, Liu Qiang, Barbosa and Lei Jiede, in this warm little restaurant, worked out a plan that would lead to extreme turmoil in Spain for the next ten years. The name of the plan was named by Liu Qiang: Black Storm!
