The interrogation began.

The person who was brought up was a strong man in his thirties, with a dark face, rough hands and feet, and at first glance he looked like an old fur dog who had been begging for a life at sea for many years. According to the money from his clothes and belongings, he should be a leader-level figure.

As soon as he asked where the strong man came from, he began to shout: "Maniac! Madman! Sooner or later, the bosses will have to clean you up! ”

Seeing Dugu's marriage proposal who was sharpening his knife on the side, this person sneered.

"What do you do with a sword? The leather whip and soldering iron are all coming to greet him, if the master frowns, he is not a good man under the bosses! ”

Dugu was furious and picked up the electric baton.

"Not busy." Ran Yao stopped Dugu and opened the book slowly:

"Name?"

"If you don't change your name, you can't change your surname, Han Yiping is also!"

"Gender?"

"Where's my hometown?"

"How many relatives are there?"

"When was the first time you were a pirate?"

"How many years have you been here?"

"What's your family's helper's name?"

……

"What's your boss's name?"

"Where is my hometown??"

"Gender?"

"When was the first time you were a pirate?"

……

"When was the first time you were a pirate?"

"Your leader's name?"

"Gender?"

"When was the first time you were a pirate?"

"Where is my hometown??"

……

"You say you're from Nan'an, Fujian?"

"The first seven times, you clearly said that you were from Fujian Minhou!"

"Where the hell is that?!"

"What's your gang leader's name?!"

"Say!"

"Turn on the lights!"

"Say your name!"

……

After 4 hours of non-stop wheel fighting, Han Yiping's mouth was pried open, and when he answered "Who is the leader of your family" for the 25th time, he finally said the name of "Liu Xiang".

After being caught on this issue, he still tried to deny it, but under the continuous bombardment, he finally had a complete nervous breakdown.

Once a person submits to a confession, he tells all the truth. Han Yiping quickly confessed everything he knew.

He is just a "share" in Liu Xiang's gang in terms of level, and he is a "shopkeeper", not Liu Xiang's descendant, but because his subordinates are particularly capable of fighting, he always makes a lot of effort every time he fights with the official army and other pirate gangs, so he has to look at him differently. In this operation, the commander-in-chief of Liu Xiang's side is a woman.

"Women?"

"A ghost girl." Han Yiping gestured and said that this woman is very famous among various maritime groups, she has a Western-style clipper, she has always been alone, ruthless, and scheming. It has a close relationship with the Francois people in Macau. She used to be under Zheng Zhilong, and she was very serious for a while, but then she suddenly washed her hands and didn't dry it for more than half a year.

Liu Xiang Group got the news that the traversers occupied Lingao as early as October, but there was no oil and water in Lingao, and it was traditionally the territory of Zhucailao, so Liu Xiang did not have any interest in them.

It was indeed the people of the old Zhucai clique who proposed to seize the Clippers - they told all this when they defected to the new leader, including the news that Shi XIV had brought back.

Zhu Cai Lao did have the intention of cooperating with the traverser, and it was for this reason that Liu Xiang made such a play, trying to kill two birds with one stone, that is, to seize the "Iron Clipper", and to make Zhu Cai Lao unable to cooperate with the traversal group. To this end, he not only recruited a large number of sporadic bandits who did not know the details in the name of Zhucai Lao, but also sent some pirates who had been under Zhucai Lao to participate in the operation.

"Isn't Liu Xiang afraid that you people will confess after being captured?"

"I just said that if I was captured, I would be sure that it would be the old Zhucai. Zhucai Lao and you have Liangzi, you must believe it. Han Yiping replied listlessly, "And there are not many people here who really know Gang Leader Liu." ”

"What's the matter with that big ship of Westerners?"

"I don't know that either. Our contact with the big ship of the West was all through that ghost girl. ”

"What's her name?"

"What's your name?"

Ran Yao frowned, he remembered something, his memory was very good, and he immediately thought that this person should be the woman who kidnapped Mr. Wen back then.

"Black curls with slightly brown eyes?"

"Yes, yes, that's right, this ghost girl is pretty -- " Pirate Han swallowed.

That's right, it must be her. Ran Yao thought, this shijie is really small. However, no women were found among the corpses or captives.

"Where's she?"

"On a big ship in the West, I guess I escaped. This ghost girl is very clever. ”

Ran Yao asked a lot of information about the strength of Liu Xiang's group, the base area, the name of the main leader, etc., Han Yiping answered 1510, some he didn't know, and he couldn't say it, Ran Yao was not forced, according to his experience, there was only so much oil and water that Han Yiping could squeeze.

I interrogated a few more people, but they didn't have any oil or water. I started interrogating a few Ah San again, and I didn't know what to say, but then I thought that since I was working for the Spaniards, I should be able to speak Spanish, so I quickly found someone who knew Spanish as a translator.

"I don't know Spanish." Xiao Zishan gave an answer after inquiring about the personnel file.

"Wouldn't it?! We're going to have to deal with the Spaniards. ”

"There are people here who know English, French, Japanese, German, Italian, Russian, Korean, yes, even Latin, but no one knows Spanish."

"Isn't that? Even those who know Korean and no one know Spanish? A second foreign language is also available. ”

"Not really, I can't even find the word Spanish here."

"What do I need to do?" Ran Yao put down the phone and said helplessly. Dugu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he remembered the Latin hottie on the North American yacht during the day today. I heard the Qian brothers say that they seem to be of Venezuelan origin. Dugu's marriage proposal has only two impressions of Venezuela: one is a beauty pageant, and the other is Chavez, who is often in the news.

"Spanish is spoken in all Latin American countries, right?"

"Yes, there are also Portuguese-" Ran Yao also thought about it at this time: Isn't there still an American-Venezuelan woman with a temporary ID card number 008?

He picked up the phone and called Xiao Zishan: "I ask to transfer someone here, you go through the formalities as soon as possible." ”

"Who is it, who knows Spanish?"

"Diana. Mendoza. ”

Diana. Mendoza always thought she was the most unlucky, and Zhou Weisen always boasted that she was seduced by her charm. In fact, Diana was just drunk at that bar in Hawaii, hoping to take a free yacht to blow the wind on the sea. Unexpectedly, she was kidnapped by these Chinese, not counting the kidnapping, after tossing for more than half a month, she actually came to a wild place, and was told that it was the 17th century!

Diana. Mendoza, of course, didn't believe his nonsense, and after a few slaps in the face from the nonsense Ph.D. in biology, she rushed into the cab. The GPS, radar, and maritime satellite phone, which she had absolutely forbidden to touch, were left to her fiddling, and it was obvious that she was not going to get any of the results she wanted.

After a long time of tossing and crying, she was finally exhausted, and the wife of the Qian brothers gradually made her clearly understand her own situation - without Zhou Weisen, she wouldn't even be able to eat. Diana. Mendoza, like all women in similar circumstances, resigned himself to his fate. Zhou Weisen was naturally unceremonious, taking advantage of the fear of being helpless after the beauty arrived in an unfamiliar environment, it was easy to put Diana. Mendoza became his own woman.

For the Executive Committee, it is naturally gratifying that Zhou Weisen's emotional and physical problems can be solved, but Xiao Zishan really can't think of the use of this Latin girl who studies English language and literature - she can't speak Chinese at all, so Xiao Zishan has to put her on the list of "dependents", and only a few children brought by the crossers enjoy this treatment. This time, I made the most of my Spanish translation. She speaks both English and Spanish very well.

Seeing this tall and beautiful, Indo-European beauty appear in the office, several men couldn't help but have their eyes lit up - no wonder people say that Venezuela is a country of beautiful women, it is simply a stunner produced by mixing the advantages of three different races: yellow, white and black - Zhou Weisen, you are too beastly!

The problem is that although her Chinese has improved greatly in recent months and is able to carry out simple life conversations, she still can't do complex explanations, so she has to be equipped with an English translator.

It turns out that Ah San's Spanish is a tragedy, and they speak Spanish even Diana. Mendoza didn't know why, and after a long time of tossing and turning, it finally became clear that they were sailors, recruited by a Spanish lord named Sidonia in Manila, and they didn't know anything else, even where they were now.

"What's the use of Ah San for us?" Dugu proposed, and according to him, he had to cut off the heads of a few pirates.

"Let's make curry. I actually like to eat. Ran Yao said, "If they are sailors, they are always useful." ”

Zuihou is a Spaniard. The two Spanish captives almost couldn't close their mouths when they saw a beautiful woman who could speak Spanish appear in the room, except for a few Orientals.

Two Spaniards were recruited on the ship in Manila, one a sailor and the other an ordinary soldier, who came from the Viceroyalty of Panabanas in Spanish America to try their luck in the Viceroyalty of the Philippines.

From them, Ran Yao finally understood how the Spanish galleons had joined the battle. Also known the name of the commander: Aragonés. Sidonia. A Spanish "gentleman" who was tasked with recruiting and commanding a Spanish galleon to trade or plunder off the coast of China, and if possible, to gain a trading foothold with the help of local Chinese pirates.

Aragonés himself could not afford to equip such an expedition, so this expedition was akin to launching a joint-stock company, in which the Spanish governor of Manila and some of the officials and the owners of the estates were the financiers, and the equipment, personnel recruitment, and purchase of materials and weapons for the galleons were divided among them according to shares. Aragonés. Sidonia, as commander, enjoyed one-fifth of the total proceeds. If he can get a coastal stronghold, he will also receive an additional bonus.

As for all the soldiers and sailors who took part in the expedition, they were not paid or paid, but they collectively enjoyed one-fifth of the total profits, which were distributed according to rank.

"It's a fucking robbery gang." Dugu listened to the proposal and said angrily, "Ask them how many Chinese ships they have robbed!" Kill a few Chinese! ”

Ran Yao was not interested in this, he was more concerned about the strength of this ship.

According to her confession, the Countess Scarborough consisted of 400 soldiers, sailors, doctors, gunners, craftsmen, and servants: some were Spaniards, Portuguese, Italians, Chinese, Indians, blacks, and mestizos, and all local Malays.

It's really international enough. No wonder Yu Eshui said that the sailors of this era are a large collection of scum of various nationalities. In addition to this strange group of people, the Countess Scarborough also brought many supplies, including trade goods; A large number of firearms and firearms—these things had already been sold to Liu Xiang; The necessary tools and materials for the construction of the castle. They didn't bring much food and water, they mainly moved along the coastline and could be replenished ashore at any time. After forming an alliance with the local pirate leader Liu Xianglao, it will be easier to replenish these things. It is said that the next step will be to fight a Chinese pirate called "Yiguan".
