Chapter 30: The Rope and the Cross I
When Li Dayong attacked, Dongmenqing's first thought was whether he could take this opportunity to break away from this team of Franc Pirates, and he even thought of whether he could borrow the power of Chaozhou pirates to take revenge! And he is obviously not the only one who has similar thoughts!
In the confusion, Li Chun noticed that several sailors who were not in charge of the tail rudder were quietly slipping towards the stern of the ship. Because he and Dongmen Qing had different positions, it was not Dongmen Qing but Chen Baifu who was beside him at that time, and after telling Chen Baifu about the suspicious situation he saw, Chen Baifu covered his mouth and said: "This kind of thing! Don't ask! ”
Chen Baifu is a begger, Li Chun is a Korean, although they can speak some Chinese and look no different from Chinese, but under the rule of the Franco, this big ship is full of suspicion, so Li Chun and Chen Baifu are not trusted by Chinese sailors.
At this time, the Golden Dog was not in danger, but the battle situation on the brig's side had been obviously unfavorable, and people's hearts were further fluctuating as the battle situation turned bad, and finally Sato also noticed that some Chinese were slipping towards the stern, and he also noticed that several aisles from the deck to the stern were being watched by Chinese, intentionally or unintentionally!
"Could it be...... They want to take advantage of the rebellion? Sato flashed this thought, his first reaction was to tell the truth, but at this time he didn't have the exact evidence, so he didn't dare to act rashly, not to mention that he didn't know who to tell him, for him, the ship full of Orientals is not necessarily trustworthy, and to communicate directly with the Franc man, he has not yet been trusted by most of the Franc man, the only one who may trust him is the second mate on the three-masted sailing ship at the moment. Let's take a look first......" he thought. Now the situation on the sea is confusing, maybe this Franco fleet will collapse under the blow of the Chaozhou pirates, if that ship will become the world of the Chinese, considering this possibility, Sato Hideyoshi feels that it is best to stand still, lest the time come when the Chinese gain power, the east wind overwhelms the west wind, will he not be a villain in vain?
In this way, the Golden Dog has actually split into three types of people in the midst of the war. The first group is those who are fully engaged in the war, including both the Franco-Romans led by Mendoza, and a group of obedient Orientals; The second type is the wait-and-see people, such as Dongmen Kei, Sato Hideyoshi, Chen Baifu and Li Chun, who have found that the situation is not right, among which the negative ones such as Chen Baifu all bow their heads but beg not to set themselves on fire, while the positive ones such as Dongmen Kei and Sato Hideyoshi move at the camera; And the third category is those who are secretly plotting.
However, from the appearance of Li Dayong's fleet to the capture of the three-masted sailing ship by shark-like Chaozhou pirates, the Chinese sailors of the Golden Dog still did not act, and Dongmen Qing secretly frowned in the cabin, feeling that these people were too unruly!
Dongmen Qing didn't know that the Chinese sailors on the Golden Dog also had their difficulties, and the most direct trouble was that they didn't have good weapons in their hands!
The weapons of the sailors of the Golden Dog are divided into three categories, among which the most sophisticated swords and muskets are naturally equipped on the Franc machine man, the second-class weapons are equipped with a team composed of the Chinese and Nanyang natives who joined in the early days, and the first class is equipped with the Chinese sailors who are closely monitored by the two devil groups, and the sailors who are most abused and have the strongest anti-will are just doing some rough and heavy work of carrying and carrying in ordinary times, and only when there is a war will the Franc machine people uniformly distribute weapons, they simply cannot freely and at any time control the power of weapons. If other groups on board, such as the natives of the South Seas and the Chinese who joined earlier, oppose their rebellion, they will be absolutely inferior in force, even if they are superior in numbers!
If weapons are the external reason that restricts the Chinese sailors, then the lack of courage is the internal reason for their hesitation, and these two reasons are mutually explanatory, so that the best opportunity is lost in the delay. When things developed to this, another problem was exposed within the Chinese sailors, that is, there was a lack of a strong leader who could convince most people, so as soon as the matter was not sure, everyone became anxious, and when they were in a hurry, several factions passed the buck and blamed each other, and in the prevarication and accusation, they counted the old scores!
At this time, Mendoza had already ordered the rudder to be turned and fled to the southeast, and the helmsman Wu Tiepi was also one of the initiators of this incident, but he had been driven by the Francophone for a long time, and he had to obey the order without thinking about it after receiving the order, but he was stopped by the leader of another gang, Shuiyu Cai, and said: "Are you stupid? We are now looking forward to Li Dayong and them on board! If you really escape, this ship is the world of those ghosts. ”
Mendoza, sensing the ship's delay, sent his first mate, Gustav, to urge him. Gustav was equipped with a soft sword, and hurried to the stern of the boat with a second devil Xu Qijin, who was deeply trusted by the Franco, and just passed by the cabin where Dongmen Qing was on the way, at this time Dongmen Qing had already taken off his Franc machine clothes, put on a shabby sailor suit, and was about to sneak out quietly, but he didn't want to see Gustav hurriedly walking in front of his cabin door, he hesitated slightly, and then followed.
A sailor who was in the aisle looked at Gustav and hurried to the stern of the ship to report the news, when nine sailors gathered at the stern, the leader and deputy leader of four small Chinese gangs, and they all panicked when they heard Gustav coming. Wu Tiepi was very afraid of the Buddha Lang machine, and panicked: "Look! Provoked the ghosts! He ordered to hurry up and turn the rudder according to Mendoza's orders, and at the same time began to prepare the "reason" for the delay in the rudder. I didn't want to, but I was held down by a leader bullfrog and shouted: "Can't turn!" Shuiyu Cai also said: "Yes! Another leader, Shen Wei, said: "I think it's better to turn around first."
While the dispute was unresolved, I suddenly heard a voice whispering: "It's coming!" Seeing Gustav break in with Xu Qijin, several Chinese leaders originally wanted to rebel, but when they saw Gustav shrinking his head, they were too frightened to speak, and Gustav didn't notice anything unusual at first after he came in, pointing at the helmsman Wu Tiepi and scolding: "What are you doing!" Why don't you turn the rudder yet! He said Franc Machine, but he had Xu Qijin to help translate, and when Xu Qijin translated, he not only brought the meaning, but also the tone, and pointed at Wu Tiepi with his waist and spitting horizontally, which was very high-level minion. Wu Tiepi bowed his head and lowered his ears, and Nuo Nuo responded: "This is turning, this is turning." The bullfrogs, water fish Cai, Shen Wei and others next to him didn't dare to speak.
Wu Tiepi was about to turn the rudder, Gustav suddenly found that this place was too crowded, and the corner of his eyes swept away, only to notice that there were six other people in the stern of the boat in addition to Wu Tiepi and his two subordinates! Cai the water fish is in charge of the boat, the bullfrog is walking on the deck, and Shen Wei is on the sail - none of them should be in the stern! Gustav was the first mate, and he was familiar with the personnel arrangements everywhere, so he knew that something was wrong at first sight, and shouted: "What are you doing! ”
Xu Qijin also saw that the atmosphere was wrong! I forgot to translate it, but Gustav's question didn't need to be translated, and the Chinese sailors knew that he was angry and suspicious when they heard the tone! Wu Tiepi was so frightened that his feet were weak on the spot, Shen Wei shrank back, and the water fish Cai and the bullfrog showed fierce eyes, but they didn't dare to act under Gustav's prestige - there were seven of them in total, but they were all wilted by Gustav's glare. Xu Qijin's eyes turned again and again, seeing the chaotic situation in front of him, he didn't know for a moment whether to help the side of the Chinese at the same time, or the barbarian master who should help him.
As if he had understood, Gustav snorted and pressed his hand to the knife at his waist! Shui Yu Cai and the others involuntarily took two steps back when they saw him - they didn't think that if their own people rushed up and beat each other with their fists, this kind of performance was completely the fear of the Franc machine!
At the last moment, a rope suddenly appeared in front of Gustav, and everyone, including Gustav, was stunned, and before he could react, the rope had already wrapped around Gustav's neck and tightened back!
Gustav made a breathless sound in his throat, and his hands and feet began to move, and he felt his back hit a man, and he also noticed that there seemed to be two hands at the level of his neck - yes! It's those two hands that hold the ends of that rope! And the rope wrapped around his neck, and as the strength of those two hands continued to increase, it became more and more difficult for him to breathe! In just a few moments, Gustav felt dizzy and even weak! But he couldn't see the person behind him!
This poor first mate of the Golden Dog can't see it, but Xu Qijin, Wu Tiepi, Shuiyu Cai, etc. can see it clearly! What suddenly appeared behind Gustav was the mute named Wang Qing! They saw very clearly that the mute, whom they had been jealous of, had strangled Gustav by the neck with a rope that only tightened, tightened, tightened, tightened, tightened and tightened again! As if to strangle the sinful soul of this pirate out of his body!
This is a drastic change that no one could have imagined! Whether it was Wu Tiepi, Shui Yu Cai, or Xu Qijin, they were all stunned by the scene in front of them, they didn't dare to move, they just watched Dongmen Qing increase the strength of his hands expressionlessly, and watched Gustav dance and struggle! Finally, Gustav's hand touched his saber again, and a thought popped up in Shui Yucai's heart: "We should help him!" But his hands and feet could not move for a while, Gustav's knife was already half drawn, and it was too late for him to move! At this time, Dongmen Qing suddenly stretched out a hand behind his back and pressed the knife back - it was the North Korean boy named Li Chun!
"Alas-you ......" Another figure appeared from behind Dongmenqing, but this time it was Chen Baifu who came, and when he arrived, things could not be reversed, so he heard Li Chun shouting: "Help!" He hurried forward and held Gustav's hands and feet.
Gustav's tongue finally came out, his eyes seemed to bulge, and the sailors at the stern of the ship even smelled a foul odor caused by Gustav's incontinence.
At this time, Dongmen Qing let go of his hand and let the corpse slide to the deck, Li Chun probed his snort and said to Dongmen Qing: "He is dead." Dongmen Qingcai nodded, made a few gestures to Chen Baifu, and crossed a few words, Chen Baifu hesitated for a moment before saying to Wu Tiepi, Shuiyu Cai, etc.: "Wang Gongzi said, now everyone has no way out, get ready to do it!" ”
