C1174 12,000 ounces of gold

The two most important Chinese Shang leaders on the road were already fighting with their eyes red. The double horse carriage was running crazily on the bumpy road, the surrounding fifty odd guards were on guard, and on the way, they had already broken through four waves of native monkeys.

Corpses littered the road, from native monkeys to innocent townspeople. This sudden fleet had broken the balance between Chinese and aboriginals. Those monkeys with severe red-eye disease had long wanted to rob the Chinese of their wealth, but they had no chance. Now that they had the chance, how could they not grasp it?

But the threat posed by the Russian fleet was even greater. Tian Lin opened the window and roared hysterically, "Kill! Kill All... As long as they dared to stand in his way, he would be executed! I have to return to the Belait immediately! "Increase your speed..."

Niu Jincai felt like he was going insane, muttering to himself, "Why did this group of Russian take a detour to here? How could he be here... What should he do now? The Belait has more than 12,000 ounces of gold. What should I do? "What should we do?"

The best route for the Russian's fleet to advance past the Singapore would be to head north to Hong Kong or Annan to resupply themselves before heading north. However, why would they come to the Borneo after turning a corner?

Even if he had come to Borneo to choose to head north from Yan Gang, the Taiwan Strait was fine as well. However, there was no need for him to linger at Bohai's place, much less attempt to attack from the Belait's side.

"We are only advertising the reclamation area, who would know we have so much wealth? There must be a spy, there must be a spy … "

"Enough!" Tian Lin shouted loudly, "Brother Niu, what are you nagging about? Is this the time to think about such things? We need to return to the city, we can't defend against the attacks of so many enemies at all. Belait thinks that we only have five thousand guards, and that we trained them ourselves, we can't stop them at all! "

"The only thing we can do now is to give up on the money. Silver and paper money can't even be considered, let alone food. The most important thing right now is to sink the gold into the sea!"

"Those are all gold taels saved by the Prime Minister. The debt crisis in Jiangnan is getting worse and worse. I absolutely cannot give it to Russian … If we can hide as much as we can, we can do it! "

Niu Jincai grabbed Tian Lin's hand and said, "Yes, yes … You're right, gold is the most important thing, you have to protect it! "

There were some coincidences like this, even Molière's information did not have a trace of this 12,000 oz worth of gold.

In the multi-party intelligence report, especially the detailed report of the British intelligence officer, there is a preliminary estimate of the total volume of Chinese trade in the Bohai region.

The Bohai's quarterly trade totaled around fifty million silver yuan, of which the bulk of the trade was only sixty percent, but the Chinese Shang had enough to buy sixty percent, so most of these trades were made with Ryukyu's currency.

Right now, Ryukyu's currency had not even established a global reputation, and was only limited in circulation within Xiao Letian's sphere of influence. The foreign citizens definitely would not agree with the so-called national reputation, they just wanted the Real Gold and Silver.

You can use Xiao Letian's notes, but you have to guarantee that you can exchange them all in full anytime and anywhere. This way, forty percent of the fifty million worth of trade will have to be traded with cash, which is a huge sum of ten million silver coins.

Molière wanted to make the Russian fleet believe that Xiao Letian had the information on the Hidden Gold Island, then he would have to make them believe that Xiao Letian was indeed a great financial backer of East Asia. During the meeting that night, EdStefanski and the others had reached an agreement that he, Molière, must verify that his information was correct. Only then would Expeditionary forces take the risk.

Molière knew that this group of polar bears had already evolved into Arctic foxes. Hence, he had long prepared the Boer reclamation area as an appetizer that was worth eating.

With a reserve of 10 million silver taels, even if it was distributed among every store, there would still be a certain amount of money spent on robbing, so stealing 60% of it would make up 6 million silver taels.

Six million silver taels was definitely a huge sum of money for a single natural person but to a country, especially a large country like the Russia, it was actually nothing at all. To be honest, Russian Expeditionary Force's group of thirty to forty thousand people had spent more than this amount just to eat and drink.

In the end, there were only three to four thousand people in the Belait. They only had a small amount of string guns, and the rest were all musket s, with even less cannons.

As for the shore defense cannons, they were forged during the colonial era in the Portugal, and were almost turned into iron lumps. This was a piece of meat that was not guarded against at all. Six million silver taels was just a piece of free food, whether Russian would eat it or not.

In the end, Molière ordered the higher ups of the Russian Expeditionary Force to change their route on the high seas after the fleet passed by them. They headed directly towards the northeast, straight towards the Bohai's region.

The attacks were extremely smooth. The Russian soldier s who were fighting for the stalls jumped into the water and quickly rushed to the unguarded beach, laughed and shouted as they looked at the messy sea products and tools on the ground. "This group of cowards have escaped … Attack the city! "

More and more soldiers climbed onto the beach to search for their own troops to gather. From not too far away, the sound of explosions could be heard.

"Speed, speed!" If they were late, they would take away all the money! "Don't worry about the boats, hurry up and cut off the roads, we'll surround the city …"

At this moment, the voices of a dozen or so black monkeys suddenly emerged from the rice fields in the south, shouting the word "surrender" in modulated English and French.

Russian soldier wanted to open fire, but the officer stopped him with a raise of his hand. "Wait, it seems like they are not Chinese and are aboriginals …" Maybe it can be used by us! "

"Surrender …" Lead the way... Surrender... "Lead the way …" A group of monkeys kneeled on the ground and repeated these two simple words. It was unknown who taught them how to pronounce these two words, but it sounded extremely strange.

Fortunately, the officer knew English and French, so he was able to guess the purpose of this group of monkeys. He pointed at Belait, took out a gold coin and a silver coin from his pocket, and said in English, "Gold … …" Silver... We need to... "

This sentence was very easy to understand, the monkeys kowtowed and shouted, "Lead the way!" "Let's lead the way …"

The Russia officer laughed, he threw the few coins in her hand over, "Very good, we will reward you when we get rich … Now, lads, the time for harvest has come, let's attack! "
