Chapter 211: Encountering Old Acquaintances in a Foreign Country
Guangdong, along the coast of Guangzhou.
Blue sky and white clouds, clear sky.
The sea is calm, and along the wide coastline, warships of all kinds are sailing and patrolling.
At this time, a merchant ship flying the flag of the East India Company was heading for the sea.
"Oh God, there's a lot of flotilla ahead. Hell, it can't be a pirate. An observation sailor on the deck of the ship shouted.
The sailor's shouting drew nervous attention from the people in the ship.
"Knock knock..."
There was the sound of heavy, hurried footsteps on the deck. A man came next to the sailor's observer and snatched his binoculars to take a look.
Then, as if relieved, he returned the telescope to the sailor's observer and said:
"Jarvis, what are you fussing about? How many times have I told you, don't soak in bars or prostitutes when you have time. If you spend more time researching the news, you might be able to buy the next ship and become a captain in the future. ”
"Boss, where did the ships appear on this route before? Aren't you worried that they're pirates? Jarvis asked curiously.
"That's why I said you need to find out more, they are the rebel sailors of this country, not pirates. Do you see their red flags? As long as we sail according to their instructions, it will do us no harm, and it is better to worry about them than to worry about the British. Boss Dadel pointed and said.
"Rebels? When we came last year, we didn't hear of any rebels. Who would have thought that this year would come and see so many warships coming out. Jarvis replied with some disbelief.
"It doesn't matter if they are rebels or not, in fact, I have a much better opinion of these rebels!" Dydel said with a smile on his face.
"Why...!" Jarvis asked curiously.
In fact, not only Jarvis, but also several other people on the deck were also curious to look at Dadel.
"You've been with me for a few years, and I'm not afraid to tell you. We're here to trade with such rebels. ”
"What do you think I'm bringing this boatload of grain for? In the past, except for the silver coins we brought to this country to trade, the rest was monopolized by the East India Company. ”
"But, my friend Anthony told me that there was a group of rebels in the past recently, and these rebels are now asking for everything. Grain, iron, cotton ... Moreover, it is cash silver, which can be exchanged for other substances. ”
The mood is good, and Dydel's smile is even brighter.
"Oh, I said, boss, why did the envoy suddenly change lanes this time to collect rice grain!" Another sailor on deck, Ruudi, came to his senses.
"Alright, guys, cheer up. After this smooth transaction is completed, I invite everyone to drink wine and eat meat, and add a silver soldier to each person. Dadel said with a haughty wave of his hand.
"Oh, boss, you're such a nice guy." The crowd on deck cheered loudly.
“boss。 A flag is sent from the other side, and they want to stop us and do a routine inspection on us, what should we do? Jarvis looked at the ship heading towards them and said loudly to Dydel.
"It's okay, let them check! We can't escape even if we want to. Go and inform the helmsman and captain to stop the boat! Dydel commanded.
"Yes, boss." Jarvis replied.
As the bandit army patrolled and the boat approached, and after a while, Dadel saw the bandit army who had come up to his boat to inspect it.
I saw that they were wearing white uniforms, and the short hair on their heads looked particularly energetic. One by one, the patrol ships came to the Dadel's Vostok.
Suddenly, Dadel saw a Westerner's face in the Bandit Suppression Naval Division jumping from the patrol boat.
A face he looked somewhat familiar with.
"Oh... God, are you Chad? Chad. Filipby? Deidler shouted in Dutch in astonishment as he saw the bandit army standing on the faces of the Westerners standing firmly on the deck.
After hearing this, the bandit army, who saw the face of a Westerner, looked up at Dydel, who was a little stunned.
A moment later
"You're Dyddle?" The Western-faced bandit army also asked in Dutch with some uncertainty.
"Oh... Oh, God. It's really Chad, I thought you went to see God, thank God, you're still there. Dadel was very happy and ran to Chard's side and hugged him, and said with tears of joy.
The bandit soldiers who came up looked at the two of them chattering a lot, and they didn't know what they were talking about, and the two big men hugged each other again, so they felt strange and asked:
"Captain Li, what's wrong?"
Hearing this, Chad pushed Dadel away a little, and then said to the soldiers of the bandit army who were watching him: "This person is called Dadele, and he is my cousin. We hadn't seen each other for a few years, and it was a rare meeting, so I was a little excited. ”
"Oh, understood. Let's reminisce here! Let's get busy first! Huang Liqiang, the vice captain of the same team, said.
"Thank you, Qiang." Chad said in a relatively fluent Cantonese.
Immediately, Huang Liqiang also left the deck with the men and horses and went to the ship to inspect it.
"It's nice to see you, Chad. Thank God for not letting you see him, and my cousin should be happy now. When the people on the deck were sparsely gone, Dadel said impatiently.
"Me too, Dydell. How is my mom now? Chad asked.
"Ever since I heard that your ship had been sunk by the hateful Englishman, and that your fate was uncertain, my cousin has been praying to God for your safety. Thank God you're all right, it's so good. Dadel said.
"By the way, why don't you go back if you're fine? How did you become a member of this rebel army again? ”
"Chad, we are not rebels. We are the teachers of justice, this country does not belong to the Tartars, I am doing what is right. Chad immediately replied solemnly.
"Alright! I take back the rebels' words. Why don't you go home, you know, your cousin is worried about you. Seeing this, Dydel immediately opened the topic and asked.
"Dydel, you know. I don't have any other skills than to follow the boat. After being sunk by the British, I came to Macau in a few reversals. I wanted to raise money to go back to the Netherlands, but I found that everything was not so easy. Chad immediately entered the memory, and then swept away the previous confusion and said.
"Then I met Lynn, and she was the kindest and most beautiful girl I have ever met. I found out that she didn't want to marry her, but her father said I had to have a career to marry her. You know, I don't know anything other than being a sailor. No, the bandit army is recruiting sailors, and I heard that the salary is good. So I joined. Now he is a captain of the Bandit Army's Naval Division. ”
