C530 martyr with ship (1/2)
They all said that money was a bastard, but without money, it was really hard to deal with. Since one of Zhang Juzheng's whipping laws in the Ming Dynasty, silver had officially become a living force in the currency circulation, and the silver standard continued until the Republic of China.
The hundreds of years of silver standard history made the Chinese people's silver culture very popular. The silver and silver light became one of the most touching methods, and the display of today's silver ingot rain shocked everyone on Tanggu's docks.
Large chunks of silver ingots clanged against each other, producing a melodious sound. The white silver ingots fell into the sea in exchange for waves of pity, even causing the French bandits to be dumbstruck.
”Oh God! We've been chasing it for so long, and it turns out to be a treasure ship? Isn't that the Spanish treasure galleon? ”To rob such a precious ship, we can all retire and return home …”
”God loves us... We can all be gentlemen of Paris, we can finally squeeze into the best society... ”Rush forward and snatch the boat …”
Just as the French battleship was celebrating, the two field cannons on the pier finally opened fire. The blooming cannonballs flew past the Wind Changer and exploded into balls of water on the bow of the French battleship.
”Stop them! Even if I give my silver taels to the Dragon King, I won't give any of them a dime …” Liu Lang and Tie Toutuo screamed crazily.
”Abandoned ship …” Forget about the silver... The Prime Minister cared about people, not money … ”Quickly abandon the ship and jump into the sea …”
Hearing the shouts on the shore, and seeing the silver flowing into the sea, Niu Duofu felt a sweet sensation in his throat, and he spat out another mouthful of blood. ”Everyone, listen up. Don't worry about Silver. Let's abandon the ship and swim over there …”
The Wind Changer was only about 400 meters away from the dock, which was not much of a distance for these sailors, but they could not bear to part with it. This was 3 million taels of silver ingot, no matter how rich the Prime Minister was!
”Scram...” All of you, scram! ”This is a command …” Captain Niu roared and kicked a soldier into the sea. ”Those who die for money are cowards!” Keep your useful bodies, and killing all the evil spirits in this world will be the true meaning of your lives … ”All of you, scram!”
Niu Duofu scolded the soldiers on the deck awake. Only then did the people struggle to resist, they turned around and swam towards the ocean.
”Captain, why aren't you leaving?” Some sailors found something amiss.
”You guys leave first. The captain should be the last one to leave during the shipwreck. This is the rule of the sea …” ”You guys can go, I'll be the last one to abandon ship …”
As he shouted, the interior of the cabin suddenly released a loud creaking sound. Niu Duofu knew that the cabin was already tilting at a 30 degree angle, the steel wire and steel wire used to hold the silver ingots in the cabin were no longer able to hold it up, and even more silver heaps had ruptured, causing the rain of silver ingots to become even more violent.
The Wind Changer had now become a treasured vessel in every sense of the word. The huge hole in the Left side was like a precious pot poured by the God of Fortune, pouring silver ingots down like a waterfall. The three million taels of silver light illuminated the entire bay.
No one knew when the Da Gu Kou Cannon would cease fire, but the cries from both the north and south sides of the mouth of the sea continued to grow louder and louder. Xiao Letian's Special Zone. All of his actions, including the glory of his expedition to Europa, did not leave a deep impression on anyone at this moment.
The treasure was a sight to behold. So much money was poured into the sea like water. This was a sight he had never seen before in his entire life. As for you, Xiao Letian, being the hero of Europa, and forcing back France … What does it have to do with me?
Look, humans are so pragmatic. They do not remember food and they do not know how to fight. Only benefits and money are the most primitive desires in their hearts.
He had already given up all hope. The sound of the steel cables breaking just now could only prove that all the silver ingots in the cabin had been shattered.
According to his previous idea, even if this ship sank, the silver ingots tied up at the bottom of the cabin were still very easy to salvage. But now, all the steel cables were broken and the silver ingots fell into the mud at the bottom of the sea.
Seeing the figures of the people jumping into the sea one by one on the deck, looking at his brothers swimming in the sea and the countless people rushing down from the distant wharf to help them, Niu Duofu finally felt at ease. He looked at the wharf of the Special Zone with extreme yearning, and knew that he had to give the Prime Minister an explanation.
”Farewell …” Niu Duofu hardened his heart and closed his eyes as he turned to walk back into the cabin. Even if she died, she would die in the captain's quarters.
At this time, the sea was full of splashes. The Wind Changer's sailors were desperately heading towards the upstream of the dock, while the workers on the dock splashed and jumped to help them. The two groups of people were now together.
”We're home, we're home, hang on a little longer, God bless you …”
Blonde white engineers threw off their suits and plunged into the sea, using their bodies to protect the heroes across the Pacific Ocean. Not to mention, not to mention the soldiers of the new army and the good people of the district, they would not just stand by and watch as they died.
