Chapter 34: Exile I

Dongmen Qing is young after all, and young people are not mature enough to do things.

Regarding the verdict of Xu Qijin, he really felt unbearable pride and excitement in his heart, but he didn't know that the root cause of the bane was also buried because of this. Before strangling Xu Qijin, he was nothing on the boat, at most he could only be regarded as an unimportant figure in the group of two devils, and no one looked down on him. But after this incident, he attracted the attention of many people!

At worst, this incident aroused Mendoza's suspicions, and this scheming Franc pirate didn't say or do anything at the time, but in fact he was already planning how to deal with Dongmenqing. Whether Dongmen Qing killed Gustav or not is no longer important to him, the important thing is that he saw that the Chinese on the ship have been moved by Dongmen Qing, and the leaders of the Orientals who can unite their compatriots are the most terrible threat to these bandits!

However, Mendoza was not easy to move Dongmenqing for a while, because at this time, Dongmenqing was no longer Dongmenqing a few days ago, and the Chinese sailors would not ignore his life and death, he had become the focus of attention, and he had the support of some people, it can be said that he had faintly controlled part of the power on the ship, and this force was Dongmenqing's protective net.

And at this time, the problems faced by the Golden Dog are also quite serious. In order to avoid the Chaozhou pirates that day, the Golden Dog deviated from the course a little, although it did not deviate very far, but it still needed to determine the position as soon as possible, return to the right path, and try to repair the damaged part in the battle. In this case, it will take the concerted efforts of all the members of the Golden Dog to tide over the difficulties. So after the ruling, the Golden Dog regained its apparent calm.

On several occasions, Hideyoshi Sato was hoisted by a rope to the outside of the ship to repair the damaged parts, and after a few times, he developed the skill of volleying, which won the appreciation and trust of Lasso, and gradually attracted the attention of Mendoza.

Mendoza called him in and promoted him to be the deputy supervisor of carpentry.

"The captain said, the carpentry thing, except for Master Lasso, you are the biggest." Translator Zhou Dafu said.

Hideyoshi Sato was flattered when he heard this, and said continuously: "I will definitely do things well!" I'm going to get things done! ”

After coming out of the captain's room, Zhou Dafu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Sato, we will be a family from now on." You have to learn the words of the Franc Machine, so that in addition to those Franc Machines and Anthony, it will be our turn on the ship! ”

Sato Hideyoshi is very shrewd, he already knew that Zhou Dafu was a few figures in the group of the two devils of the Golden Dog, and his status was similar to Xu Qijin, and the two colluded deeply, at this time Xu Qijin died and Zhou Dafu showed favor to himself, Sato Hideyoshi guessed that he was looking for a new ally. This is also what Sato Hideyoshi wants, so he hurriedly said: "Then I will ask Brother Zhou to promote and guide me more." ”

The two laughed together. After this smile, Sato Hideyoshi felt that his status was different, and although he was in an oppressed position, he still felt that he was higher than other Orientals. But to his displeasure, this sense of self was not shared by the other oriental sailors on board, and everyone expressed nothing but admiration for his skills. What made Sato Hideyoshi even more angry was that in his opinion, he didn't do anything - Dongmen Qing, who used his pen at most in the accounting cabin, was in awe of many Oriental sailors, and Sato Hideyoshi was sensitive to the perception that everyone looked at Dongmen Qing differently!

This situation first appeared in Chinese sailors such as Shuiyu Cai and Bullfrog, followed by Ryukyuan and Korean sailors, and then even the indigenous sailors of Nanyang were also affected. This effect is subtle, for example, when Dongmenqing walks on the deck, the sailors will automatically give up a good place to entertain him, and when Dongmenqing is ordered to do something, the relevant sailors will also try their best to cooperate. Everyone seems to be whispering something, and they seem to know something, but they don't say anything, but they just show a different vision when they look at Dongmen Qing than when they look at others.

"Why is he like this! Why is he like this! He felt that he had worked a hundred times harder than Dongmenqing, and now he had become a celebrity in front of the captain, but Dongmenqing still ignored him! Sato Hideyoshi is very concerned about whether he can overwhelm Dongmen Qing, but his thoughts Dongmen Qing doesn't seem to know and is not interested in knowing, the two occasionally meet on the boat, and Dongmen Qing does not show a special expression, it seems that Sato Hideyoshi is a very special person, this kind of ignorance makes Sato Hideyoshi feel even more uncomfortable!

Before Hideyoshi Sato's discomfort was over, the Golden Dog had already arrived in Luzon, and the Franc robbers had begun their raids and trades - they were currently in a weakened period, so they had to compromise with the larger tribes, but if they encountered small villages, they would plunder directly to solve the problem of insufficient supplies.

Later generations called the South Seas or Southeast Asia is just a general concept, this vast area formed around the South China Sea, by Annam, Siam, Champang, Burma and other countries of the peninsula area and Zamboanga, Luzon and other archipelago areas are actually very different, Annam and Siam have been quite developed at this time, and the Luzon Islands hanging in the east is basically a semi-wild place at this time, although some places have been ***, but most of them are still in a state of tribal settlement.

At this time, there were several important commercial forces in the Nanyang region, among which the Chinese merchants and the Hui merchants were the traditional commercial forces, and the Franco-Rang machine was the emerging destructive factor. When the Golden Dog entered the Luzon Islands, most of the region had not yet fallen under the influence of Western Europe, and the cultural, economic, political, and technological level of the indigenous people was extremely low, but even so, trade in the region had already begun. In this trading system, Chinese merchants played an important role. Before the entry of the Franco, Chinese merchants usually arrived in Manila and other places by large ships, and then landed by retail merchants and went deep into the coastal tribes to trade goods, and exchanged handmade products produced in China for gold and spices of various tribes. Commercial exchanges between China and Luzon had developed peacefully and slowly for hundreds of years, but the arrival of Europeans shattered this calm. After the Franc Robot Man entered, the tribes of the Luzon Islands were almost powerless in the face of the Franc Robot's thousand-year-leading military technology. And most of the Caucasian people who came from thousands of miles away did not have the patience of the Chinese to conduct peaceful trade, and they even robbed and deceived the indigenous people of Luzon, and scared the residents in this area.

So when a big ship came, the coastal tribes of Luzon became nervous, although they couldn't defeat these white ghosts, but they could always afford to hide. In this case, if the Francois wants to do business, they often find Chinese as intermediaries.

Mendoza had not yet stabilized the Golden Dog, and did not want to make any trouble, so he sent the Chinese sailors on board all the way inland to trade with the Luzon tribes and collect all kinds of spices, and by the time they reached Manila, they had collected two bags of spices, which would have been enough to buy two Golden Dogs in Europe, but they were not of such value here.

But at this time, the cargo on the Golden Dog that could attract the natives of the South Seas was about to run out, and Mendoza started to plunder again, and Antony begged him not to harm these natives, but Mendoza ignored him and was about to make a move, when suddenly a fleet of two four-masted sailing ships entered the waters of this area, and the style and flag of the ship should be a Chinese ship. After this Chinese fleet entered this area, almost the entire Manila Bay was boiling, and the Manila chief personally led the tribal leaders to greet the messengers of this fleet, and helped set up tents on the seashore to prepare for the trade. Mendoza was worried that attacking Manila at this time would attract Chinese interference, and he suffered several losses at the hands of the Chinese in succession, and seeing that the other side was prepared, he did not dare to make a second time, and a few days later sailed west and south and left Manila Bay.
