Chapter 132: The Victor
The night's feast and the killing took place in the darkness of the night, and it wasn't until Gaspar caught the St. John's cannon that the sailors on the Golden Dog realized something was wrong.
The Portuguese pirate who remained aboard the Golden Dog was called Lasso, and he was still muttering in the cabin, unhappy that Mendosa had left him behind and would not allow him to go to the feast. He didn't wake up until he heard the sound of the cannon, but he was a man with little idea, and hesitated for a long time before giving the order to go to Long Island, where he met Gaspar on the way and learned what was going on on the beach.
"These Moors are so unreliable!" After hearing that the sailors of the South Seas had mutinied en masse, Lasso muttered.
After these words came out, he suddenly felt that the eyes of the people around him were different, and he was even more surprised in his heart, worried that the oriental sailors around him also had different hearts. If he didn't worry, it would be okay, as soon as he was worried, the expression on his face could not help but be unnatural, and the suspicion of the sailors of all ethnic groups in the East that unconsciously 'revealed' only increased the estrangement between him and his subordinates.
This group of Francos came thousands of miles away, for various needs, constantly recruited sailors from all over the country to rule at different levels, and under the Portuguese were some Chinese like Anthony who went to Nanyang to make a living, and below the Chinese were some other Indian, Nanyang natives, the latest surrenderers, generally the lowest status.
However, after the Daming dumb ruling Xu Qijin, the Francos felt that the Chinese were more difficult to control, they exiled Dongmenqing Qing, carried out a round of purges of the Chinese on the fleet, and supported more Nanyang natives, Japanese and even Koreans, forming a small devil group, Lasso relied on this group to maintain his rule, and all along, this little devil group has not had any problems, but now' Mendosa and others had an accident on Long Island, and there were only four Francos left, plus the defection of Brapa and others, and this little devil group immediately showed signs of instability.
"What should I do?" Lasso thought. He was originally a gunner, and he was a technical talent in terms of talent, although he also experienced a little command ability after arriving on the ship, but his ruthlessness was far less than that of the 'Gate' Dosa, and after hearing that the 'Gate' Dosa was also killed, he was almost so frightened that the six gods had no master - you must know that the 'Gate' Dosa actually trusted him very much, otherwise how would he 'hand' the Golden Dog to him for the time being? And he is also quite dependent on 'Mendosa'. He was like this, and the sailors of all ethnic groups in the East on the Golden Dog were even more panicked.
After rendezvous with the St. John, Gaspar wanted to ship with Lasso, but Lasso refused, but he was still requisitioned by Gaspar to send a lot of sailors over, so that the Golden Dog, which had just the right sailors, became a little understaffed.
Lasso wanted to escape far away at that time, but firstly, Gaspar insisted on going back***, and secondly, the Golden Dog's food was not enough to support them to go away, so he had to listen to Gaspar's words and return to the ship***. At first it was quite smooth, although they did not dare to rush to the beach, but at least they completely suppressed each other in the artillery battle. But as soon as Wu Ping arrived, the situation of the entire naval battle was one-sided! Not long after, the St. John's was completely captured, and Fu Zhilong also drove away from the coast to rush to attack, Lasso quickly turned course and fled, but he hesitated to flee far - to enter the deep sea without supplies would be a more terrible thing than being defeated and captured by the enemy!
Just as Lasso hesitated, the lookout shouted, "Someone's coming!" ”
Qinghua Xiang and Fu Zhilong did not 'force' over for the time being, but a small boat gradually approached, and a Nanyang sailor saw it and shouted: "It seems to be Master Andrew!" And Mr. Anthony! ”
"Block! Don't let them come up! Lasso cried out, but after a while he cried out again, "Let them come up and ask them to unload their weapons, and I will ask them what is going on over there!" ”
He was told by a Korean sailor named Lee Sung-tae who knew Japanese, Chinese, and some Portuguese. However, Lasso's order was not completely carried out after it was passed down, and Andrew and Anthony were picked up on the ship, but their weapons were not confiscated.
"What are you doing!" Lasso shouted at his group of little devils, "Why do you still have weapons for them!" And also! Who are these people? He pointed to Li Rongjiu, Sasuke, and his second husband.
"The ghost doesn't seem to have figured out the situation yet." Zhou Dafu said to Anthony and Andrew: "Leave him alone, tell the Chinese and Nanyang people here, just say that we have killed their ghost leader, 'Mendosa' is dead, Gaspar is also captured, and these ships will be controlled by the Chinese in the future!" As long as you surrender, everyone can still live a good life under the king's lord! ”
Li Chengtai, who was behind Lasso, was moved when he heard this, but Lasso didn't understand Zhou Dafu's words very well, and screamed: "What are you talking about, what are you saying!" He drew his sword, pointed at Li Rongjiu and shouted, "Put down your weapon immediately!" Go to the side! ”
Andrew said, "Lasso, don't you understand? Finished! We're done! Hurry up and surrender. The king promised us that if we surrendered, he would give us a job according to our ability, and the salary and bonus would be paid preferentially. As long as we have worked for him for five years, he will send us a sum of money back to Europe. ”
Lasso exclaimed, "I don't believe it! The commander shouted, "Arrest them!" Throw it into the sea! ”
Zhou Dafu said: "They want to do it!" Li Rongjiu and Sasuke immediately drew their swords, and the sailors around Lasso also took out their weapons, and for a while the saber rattled again, Brapa raised his hand and shouted: "Brothers, except for this Lasso, all the Franco-Rang dog thieves, including the evil 'Gate' Dosa, have been killed by our master!" That damn Gaspar has been captured alive! Don't listen to this ghost! Listen to me! In the future, we will follow the king! He promised to treat us well! ”
Anthony also said, "That's right! Those Franc Robot people are already dead! Listen to me, and pledge your allegiance to the new owner together! Then he said to Lasso, "Surrender also, for the lord has promised not to kill you." O 'gate', of all the Francos, you have done the least bad deeds, and you have a good heart, and the Lord will bless you. ”
When all the Nanyang people heard this, they all looked at each other, and one of them whispered: "Dead? Really? "The sailors on the Golden Dog did not see the 'Men' Dosa and other Franco-machine people being killed by Li Rongjiu***, so they are still a little suspicious.
Assistants threw the head of Mendosa onto the deck, and all the sailors of the Golden Dog cried out at the sight: "Really! Is! ”
Lasso screamed again: "'Gate' Dosa! It's really him! 'Gate' Doza! My God! "Although he already knew about Mendosa's death, it was a different feeling to really see the head at this time!
Suddenly, his neck was cold, and a knife was put on his neck, but it was the North Korean sailor Li Sung-tae who gave him the order before!
"What are you doing!" Lasso was so frightened that his sword almost dropped, and he fired his cannon steadily and accurately, but he was not a man who dared to fight in close combat.
"What? Now it's up to us, don't you hear clearly? Li Chengtai turned to Anthony and Brapa and said, "Mr. Anthony, Brapa, I have to help me tell the new captain about this work!" ”
"Got it, Lee Sung-tae." Anthony said.
This Li Chengtai only got on the ship after the East Gate celebrated their exile, so Zhou Dafu didn't recognize it.
Andrew asked Chow Tai Fu: "What now?" ”
Zhou Dafu said: "First ask someone to look at this ghost, and the others will be on standby!" I heard that Shinrokuro is still being held on this ship, so we need to get him out of here! ”
The snake can't do it without a head, and after Lasso was restrained by Li Chengtai, others didn't dare to move even if they still had different intentions. Zhou Dafu sent two people with Li Rongjiu to save people, and he continued to tell the Nanyang people how the clever king defeated the devils of Mendosa and Gaspar - in fact, he did not see what happened on the beach with his own eyes, but his mouth was smoother than oil, and these words were so vivid that it seemed that he had not only witnessed it, but was in it.
"Allah willing! Sure enough, only the people of Da Ming can deal with these Franc machine devils! Someone in the sailor shouted.
After Shinrokuro was rescued, he heard Li Rongjiu say that the East Gate Qing had been successful, and he was overjoyed to sweep away the depression that had been detained for many days, and his trust and admiration for the East Gate Qing were a little more, and many Oriental sailors who had been oppressed by the Francos for a long time couldn't help but run to the front of Lasso and kicked him with two feet to vent their anger.
Zhou Dafu passed down the instructions of the East 'Gate' Qing, let Li Rongjiu sit on the Golden Dog, and Brapa was his deputy, and he took Andrew, Shinrokuro, Anthony, Li Chengtai and others to escort Lasso, and took a small boat back to the Qingxiang to the East 'Gate' Qing to regain his life.
When the East Gate Qing saw Lasso, he knew that the Golden Dog had been solved, and his heart was relieved. Wu Ping was quite concerned about the weapons and equipment of the Golden Dog, and suggested that if the Golden Dog could be successfully captured, it could be used as an escort ship.
At this time, the East Gate Qing was surrounded by strange people, and there were groups of brave men, Lasso looked at the weather on the deck and trembled in fright, Li Chengtai stepped forward and prostrated at the feet of the East Gate Qing and said: "Ship master! Lord Shipper! You're a clever man! We've all heard about you! You are simply the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang! With you, how can those Franc machine people be opponents! It's a great honor for me, Li Chengtai, to be able to work under you, the owner! Looking at Anthony again and again, Anthony hurriedly said the credit for Li Chengtai.
When he heard that he was also a Korean, he couldn't help but think of Li Chun, and at this time he had already inquired and knew that Li Chun was indeed sold by Dosa in Manraka, Hideyoshi did not lie, so he patted Li Chengtai on the shoulder and said, "Your merit is not small, I will reward you." ”
When Li Chengtai heard this, he felt that his bones were a few catties lighter, and he shouted loudly: "Owner! From now on, my 'life' will be yours! If you say east, I won't go west, and if you say jump into the fire, I will never jump into the water! ”
Dongmen Qing smiled and asked him again: "What talent do you have?" ”
"I'm Korean, but I can speak Chinese Mandarin, Hokkien, and Japanese," Lee said. Also, I know how to get to North Korea, and I've been to Seoul, and I've been on a ship in Manraka, so I'm familiar with the sea routes. And ......"
Dongmen' Qing laughed when he heard this, and said, "It seems that you are also a talent. Rest assured, I need someone like you! He asked Li Chengtai again: "What position did you hold before?" ”
"This ...... Where do we have any position, it's just walking in front of those ghosts, well, sort of a sailor. "Actually, he's a sailor, he's just a microphone.
The east 'gate' celebrated: "That's good! When we go ashore, we will be rewarded and we will be able to take office! I'll remember you then. ”
Li Chengtai was so happy that his eyes lit up, and he said, "I must do a good job!" Well done! ”
At this time, the Golden Dog had already sailed over to rendezvous under the command of Li Rongjiu and others, and Dongmenqing pointed and said: "This ship has good 'sex', and it can be driven for a year or two, and then sent to Niujiapu for them to make a few imitations." ”
Wu Ping also said: "The ships of the Western Ocean are different from the ships returning and our ships. It can be said that each has its own strengths. ”
"yes." Dongmen' Qing said: "In the future, our fleet will have the best several kinds of ships. However, this Golden Dog is really not good......" He thought for a while and said: "In the future, it will not be called the Golden Dog, it will be called Fuchong!" ”
"What a name!" Li Chengtai sincerely admired: "In addition to the owner, who else can come up with such a good name!" ”
Zhou Dafu couldn't hold back any longer, snorted him fiercely, and scolded him for being shameless in his 'meat', Chen Baifu sneered: "I see that you don't hate him for being shameless, but for hating him for robbing you!" ”
The East 'Gate' Qing Hehe smiled, pulled Li Chengtai closer, and asked in a low voice: "Does Qingyun still have a close friend of the Franc Machine?" ”
When Li Chengtai heard Dongmen' Qing ask such a secret question, he felt that the owner trusted him differently from others, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and whispered: "There are five or six people, although they are not Franc Machine, but they are all thinking about doing things for Franc Machine!" Owner, do you want me to design them to ......" in a throat-slitting pose.
"No, you don't." Dongmen' Qing said: "You go to the Fuchong and find an excuse to transfer them to Qinghuaxiang to listen to the call." I'll take care of the rest. ”
Li Chengtai went happily, and Dongmen' Qing called his second husband over and whispered: "This Li Chengtai has just come to join him, and I have to observe him for a while before I can trust him." You've watched over him for me all this time. Remember, it's surreptitious surveillance. The second husband agreed.
Chen Baifu stepped forward and asked, "Master, what did this Li Chengtai muttered just now?" Dongmenqing didn't hide it from him, so he said it directly, Chen Baifu said: "I'm afraid his words may not be credible!" In order to curry favor with the new master, such a person may falsely accuse him of meritorious service. ”
Dongmen Qing hummed and said, "I know, that's why I asked him to transfer people over." As long as you get here, no matter whether those people have different intentions or not, there will be no 'chaos'. When the time comes, these people will be 'handed over' to you and Dafu to deal with. Even if they really have different intentions, they must be dealt with only after there is evidence, so as not to chill the newcomers. ”
Chen Baifu said yes.
