NABC Chapter 155
Chapter 155
On the pier of the outlying island.
Many of the servants of the Survey Command were looking at the black ship in the distance.
Nohara took Yamano and Keishi to see it, and he didn’t know how much Mora they could collect. ”
“But is this a fishing boat from Watatsumi Island? ”
“Don’t you understand, but Nohara said that as long as the ship that enters the port is considered a fishing boat on Watatsumi Island, it will be charged a port fee when it comes. ”
“Besides, what other boats are there now besides fishing boats? It can’t be the fleets of other countries, right?”
“……”
The other servants who did not speak looked enviously at the three men in front of the black ship.
Nowadays, due to the lockdown order, fewer and fewer ships can enter Inazuma.
This wild plain will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
Normally, ports always charge entry fees, regardless of the country.
After all, ships need to use the services on the dock when they enter the port, berth, and leave the port, which all require costs.
However, due to the lockdown order, fewer and fewer boats entered the outlying islands, and most of them were boats from other islands in Inazuma, or fishermen entering the port.
But even so, the fees that should be charged by the Kanding Commission are not a lot at all, and they have even increased several times compared to before.
Nohara, on the other hand, was the shogunate sergeant who was responsible for informing these fleets of their fees.
Unlike the servants, he was a shogunate sergeant who was directly subordinate to the Kanjo Commission.
It is said that the relationship behind it can be directly connected to the Hiiragi family.
Each time, he went to inform the fleets that had entered the port, and only after receiving Mora would he allow them to enter the port.
However, all the other servants of the Kanding Commission knew that this wild field would watch people cook.
If the local boat from the island goes out, it will be charged according to the prescribed mora, although it is much more than before, but it is also 24 acceptable.
But if other unknown ships enter the harbor, the wild field will open its mouth.
Not to mention several times, up to several times can happen.
It is said that if it is a foreign merchant ship, it will be counted in millions.
The merchant ships in the Chamber of Commerce of the Nations on the outlying islands were once charged millions of Mora, but people were under the roof and had to bow their heads.
They can only grit their teeth and pay this higher than the entry fee.
Don’t pay?
Then don’t come in!
This is not only what Nohara meant, but also what he means behind his back.
This black ship, which I don’t know where it came from, will also make Nohara a lot of money.
Such a fat difference is really the envy of many servants.
Just as they were discussing how much Mora would be needed for the Lion of the Wild Plains Society to open his mouth this time.
but saw a picture that they will never forget in their lives.
The black ship.
It didn’t take long for the boat of the Nohara trio to pass.
There was no hesitation.
Directly accelerated and crashed into it.
What the hell is this ship?
So damn bad?
“Enemy attack!”
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”
“It must be a rebel ship, and it actually sneaked to the outlying island!”
“Hurry up and get out of the battleship and stop the daring ship. ”
“……”
Realizing that the situation was not right, the nearby shogunate sergeant hurriedly shouted.
And the warships belonging to the shogunate army on the dock also headed in the direction of the black ship.
On board the black ship.
Luo Chen shook his head and looked at the captain in disappointment,
“You’re still too cautious, I’ve said it, just crash into it at full speed, and kill me. ”
The captain wiped the sweat from his forehead and said worriedly:
“Your Highness, this will cause disputes between the two countries. ”
Charlotte also hesitated:
“We’re here to help, not to stir things up. ”
Luo Chen chuckled:
“Who says we’re not here to help?”
“Rest assured, there will be no problems. ”
As soon as these words were spoken, the hearts of all the worried people on the ship calmed down, and they felt as if this was not a thing.
Seeing that the battleship of the Kanding Expedition came out, Luo Chen waved his hand,
“Give me a fucking shot. ”
“Let the people who carry out the survey see that they are used to being powerful and blessed, and they dare to accept anyone’s money. ”
This time, the captain did not hesitate, and directly ordered to go down and turn on the weapon system on the black ship.
On the ironclad black ship, gun barrels protrude from the deck and sides of the hull.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Three times in a row, the battleships that had been surveyed and carried out were bombarded to pieces.
The shogunate sergeants on the dock saw this scene and their eyes were about to pop out.
What the hell is this ship?
Compared to this black ship, Inazuma’s wooden battleship can’t be seen at all.
After Inazuma’s battleship was sunk, Luo Chen didn’t care about the life or death of the shogunate sergeant on the battleship, but waved his hand and signaled the black ship to continue.
The captain did not hesitate and continued to fire shells, attacking the battleship that had just sailed out of the dock.
The wooden battleships of the shogunate were under the fire of this ironclad ship, and there was no possibility of resistance at all.
Soon, all four warships sailing out of the outlying islands were annihilated, and all of them were sunk.
Luo Chen nodded with satisfaction,
“Don’t fight yet, wait and see the sincerity of Kanding. ”
He glanced at Charlotte, who was already frozen next to him, and reminded:
“You don’t record such good news material?”
“Huh?”
Charlotte reacted at this time, did not hesitate, and quickly took out the photo camera and clicked and patted.
Regardless of what happens next, at least there is news material for now.
Outlying islands.
Looking at the black ship parked on the sea, and the four sunken battleships,
All the Inazuma people who saw this scene were taken aback, and there was only one thought in their minds.
War!
This is going to start a war!
“What the hell is this ship?!”
“Go and call the head of the house, the enemy is attacking!”
“Everyone, stand back, watch out for this ship to attack the docks!”
I don’t know who shouted to be careful, after the black ship attacked the dock, everyone on the dock ran towards the depths of the island.
Soon, the pier was empty, and there was no one left.
As for the battleship that had just been sunk by Luo Chen, many survivors floated up from the sea, holding the broken wooden planks and looking at the black ship on the sea with dumbfoundedness.
Is this going to attack the outlying islands?
“Is Fontaine going to war?!”
“The General won’t spare you!”
A roaring sound came from the sea.
Fontaine’s ship?
All the survivors had a stirring in their hearts and hurried to look at the man who was screaming.
At this time, they realized that the person who was still clamoring was the same wild field that had originally collected Mora.
It occurred to them that it seemed that the people of Fontaine were coming to Inazuma recently.
Could it be the one in front of you?
Moreover, I heard that this ship was here to help Inazuma solve the matter of the Mikage hearth.
They vaguely understood something.
The survivors glared at Nohara, eager to skin him alive.
The people on the black ship also heard Nohara’s shouting.
Luo Chen shook his head helplessly and said:
“There are always people who are just that stupid. ”
Without Luo Chen’s orders, a cannonball blasted directly towards this wild field. [ Read more novels for free on our website: Knight NovelS ]
Luo Chen nodded with satisfaction, turned around, and said to everyone on the boat:
“Remember, Fontaine, which we represent, don’t disgrace Fontaine when you get to the island later. ”
Everyone on board also understood what kind of person this Royal Highness the Prince was.
Although they were also a little worried about whether there would really be a war because of this matter, they didn’t know what was going on, and they weren’t too nervous when they saw Luo Chen’s indifferent appearance.
“Remember, we are here to save Inazuma, their benefactor. ”
Luo Chen added.
Everyone on the boat, including Charlotte, nodded subconsciously, as if they thought it should be like this.
After all, this time it’s to solve the problem of the Mikage heart, and it can be regarded as saving Inazuma.
Survey is carried out.
Shinsuke Hiiragi is discussing things with his henchmen.
A few days ago, Kujou Takayuki personally came to the outlying island and took 500 million Mora from him.
At this time, the cash flow of Kanding was directly emptied, and even had to be used by embezzling the pension.
It’s not that Shinsuke Hiiragi doesn’t know the importance of the pension, but under the coercion and temptation of Kujou Takayuki, he can only grit his teeth and take out the money.
After all, if the rebels really attacked, he Hiiragi Shinsuke wouldn’t be able to run away at that time.
Now he was discussing with his retainers how to earn Mora and how to make up the pension.
“My lord, are you going to increase some taxes on those people from the Chamber of Commerce?”
A retainer suggested.
Hiiragi Shinsuke shook his head in denial:
“They don’t have any oil or water left. ”
It’s not that there isn’t, it’s still squeezing, but Hiiragi Shinsuke doesn’t look down on this little money.
Compared to 500 million Mora, this amount of money is not even drizzle.
“The people of the International Chamber of Commerce have no oil and water, but the people of Narukami Island have oil and water. ”
“You can first use the tax revenue for the next ten years to make up for the shortfall this time. ”
A retainer proposed.
“Ten years ahead of schedule?”
“It’s not going to work, is it?”
“I think it’s a good idea. ”
“Then there will be no taxes for the next ten years?”
“How is it possible, can’t it be postponed for ten years?”
When the other retainers heard this, they began to talk about it.
Hiiragi Shinsuke was a little moved, and thought that this method was also good.
It’s just an extra ten years, but it’s not unacceptable.
Even if those merchants have complaints, can’t they just let the shogunate suppress them?
However, another retainer shook his head and said:
“No, this incident will provoke a civil uprising. ”
“After all, it is a direct ten years of taxation, and it will definitely be problematic to collect it. ”
Hiiragi Shinsuke nodded slightly, feeling that what the retainer said was also right, and he asked:
“Is there anything you can do?”
The retainer nodded and said confidently:
“I have a plan not only not to provoke 270 civil uprisings, but also to make a profit from them. ”
“Tell me about it. ”
Hiiragi Shinsuke said impatiently.
The other retainers also looked at the man to see what he could do.
“Since the nine filial acts were taken from us, then we must also take them back from the nine filial acts. ”
“The equipment of the Shogunate Army has always been provided by us, and since he said this time that it is to improve the combat effectiveness of the Shogunate Army, then presumably the armament does not need to be too good. ”
“Isn’t it possible for us to reduce costs a little, a little. ”
Hearing this, the other retainers also understood this person’s thoughts, and felt that it was not impossible.
“That’s right, what he said about Jiujo filial piety is to improve the armament, so presumably the combat effectiveness has increased a lot. ”
“We could have cut the cost a little bit and let the blacksmiths use some of the leftover materials. ”
“I’ve long thought that it was a pity that those materials were directly lost, but I can continue to build armaments. ”
“And food, too, I think the rations of front-line soldiers can also reduce the cost a little?”
“……”
As if an opening had been made, many retainers began to think of ways to deal with the shogunate army.
However, some retainers felt that this method was not working, and they also put forward their own rebuttals.
“The mutiny was more serious than the civil change, and there were already a lot of shogunate troops joining the rebels, so I’m afraid that more people would defect to the army. ”
“That’s right, if it is discovered by the Heavenly Leader, it will cause us trouble!”
“And the same is true of the General, if she knows, we will be finished. ”
“……”
Listening to the chatter and quarrel between the retainers on both sides, Hiiragi Shinsuke frowned.
With a long exhale, Hiiragi Shinsuke had already made up his mind, and said in a deep voice:
“Let’s start with armaments and cut them down a bit. ”
“Pensions for soldiers who died in battle cannot be withheld. ”
“Just the soldiers on the front line. ”
After hearing that the head of the family had agreed to reduce the armaments, all the retainers stopped discussing.
Shinsuke Hiiragi was about to tell his retainers to go into action when he heard a loud bang from the docks.
“Boom !!!”
Without waiting for him to come back to his senses, he made several loud noises one after another.
A sergeant from the Kanding Department ran over and shouted at Hiiragi:
“Lord Hon, it’s not good, enemy attack, enemy attack!”
“There’s a black ship attacking us!”.
