Chapter 224: Boarding the Boat

Chapter 224: Boarding the Boat

The main prosperous road of Liuheng Island and Shuangyu, the inns on both sides are for those merchants to live, and their entourage and sailors on the ship often do not have such good treatment, behind these inns. Some low-rise houses were where they went, inside the inn where Jiang Feng lived.

From the afternoon onwards, scattered sailors dressed as sailors came out from behind, in twos and threes, which was also an extremely common thing, so ordinary that no one cared at all.

It was getting dark, and the rich people of the island began their daily revelry, and the wine and wealth could be enjoyed best on the island, and of course some ships also had to go to sea overnight, so that when certain precautions were lax, they could deliver goods to the mainland and avoid the checkpoints - although these checkpoints were loose in the first place.

Jiang Feng and his entourage picked up a big car in the inn, pulled a few boxes, and more than a dozen people went to the port together. Monk Li kept playing the drum in his heart, thinking about whether he was shouting in the street to expose Jiang Feng and get out of this matter. But the crux of the matter is that he can't reveal his identity on Liuheng Island either, Xu Qi and Deng Fang once said clearly, if you don't go to the island, it's not impossible for everyone to get rich.

If you have to come up, it will be his head, not to mention that from the moment he went out, the happy young man under Jiang Feng always followed him, and Li Guangtou's hesitation did not take long, and he found that he had no other way out than to follow Jiang Feng to do it.

However, Monk Li still had some doubts, since he was going to do this thing, why didn't he let himself call more people who could call over in Hangzhou City, but arranged for himself to call the familiar interpreter in Hangzhou City, and called the original ship boss over to come, these people are not the material for the fight at all.

It seems that these people are also going to follow, and when they arrived at the edge of the dock, the white-bearded hunchbacked old man dressed as Monk Li trembled and greeted him slightly, and six or seven young men below came up and nodded at him, and they didn't say anything.

A young man greeted him loudly and said:

"Proprietor Zhang, why has your goods only arrived now, the brothers' ships will go to sea soon, it's really a delay."

Liu Shisan, who was beside Jiang Feng, agreed in a rough voice:

"The goods only arrived in the afternoon, so I sent them to you in a hurry, I'm sorry!"

These conversations also happened on the dock all the time, some of the sailors on duty glanced here, and then they didn't care, Jiang Feng and everyone got on these six or seven small boats, the sailors shouted, waved the oars, and the boats slowly left the dock.

The small sampans flexibly serially intertwined between the moored ships, and the sailors on the ship talked and laughed loudly, as if they were afraid that others would not know that they were there, and there were naturally people on duty on each ship, and they all glanced at these small sampans in the sea carelessly, and they didn't care if they cursed a few words in their mouths.

On the Spanish brig "Rooster", there was a guard on duty in the bow and stern, and there were two people in the middle, and the Caucasian race was still a minority on the island of Liuheng anyway. Basically, going ashore for recreation is a matter of daytime, and at night these people return to the ship.

And according to the plan, I will leave for Kyushu during the day tomorrow, so I still have to have a good rest tonight.

The sampan below came loudly, and the guards on duty at the stern of the boat were too lazy to pay attention, perhaps it was a drunkard who had drunk too much, and when he came up the rope ladder, he couldn't catch the rope and drowned you. The guard was cursing viciously when he suddenly heard a "bump".

The men below had drunk too much, and the sampan crashed into the ship, and before the guard could react, the sailors on the sampan began to curse below. In this era, the people who sailed were basically on the same level as pirates.

No one has too good quality and politeness, although the guards on the "Rooster" don't understand, but there are a lot of times to and from Daming, naturally he understands that it is not a good word, his anger "Teng" suddenly came out, and he took a few steps forward and scolded down the side of the ship.

The Spanish sailor also used the dialect of his hometown, and the following is the native dialect of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the other party could not understand what the two sides said, but the sound was indeed getting louder and louder, and several people on the deck heard the movement here, and they all ran over in a hurry.

They either had arquebuses or swords in their hands, but they also knew that this was not the time to open fire, so they just leaned out and cursed below.

When they came running, at the bow of the boat, a few flying catches were thrown up, and the flying catches were five iron salute hooks, which could be firmly fastened as long as they were placed on the side of the boat, but these flying catches were different from the usual style, except for the tip, the rest of the place was wrapped with cotton thread, and then the cotton was glued to it.

In this case, the sound of the scratch itself colliding is almost negligible, and there is only a small sound when the tip pierces the plank.

Four or five flies grabbed the side of the ship, and the people below pulled it, knowing that they could climb in this way, and the people below began to climb up quickly towards it.

The more noisy the quarrel over there, the bigger the firearms, and the sailors on the sampan below had obviously drunk too much, and could not understand each other's angry swearing, but they were loudly banging on the plank with their hands. The Spanish guard was also a little impatient, and took the strip and pressed the ammunition in the chamber of the gun.

Pouring the primer into the medicine trough, the companion on the side took out the flint and lit the fire rope, and placed it on the hook for him, and the guard was still wondering if I should fire a warning shot in the sky or what to do, he had already heard the busy sound coming from the cabin.

Obviously, the captain and the sailors had heard the movement outside and were about to come out to take a look, and the guard, who had already loaded the arquebus, suddenly lamented in his heart, it seemed that the captain was going to give himself a bad scolding, so he simply gave the following shot.

There were only three men on the sampan that followed the ship, clinging to the plank of the waterline of the sailboat, and there was a sampan not far from the sailboat, hidden in the shadow of another large ship, and the guards on it had not noticed his existence.

Yang Shi, three hunters, and two boatmen were on this boat, and they had been silently watching the quarrel not far away, and on the water below the bow, someone suddenly waved a few fires.

The four archers all began to draw their bows and arrows, and the small sampan rowed out silently, and several Spaniards at the stern of the ship just saw a small sampan sliding across the opposite side, and the bow and stern of the "Rooster" were hung with lanterns to prevent the ships from colliding, so the people below looked at it quite clearly.

The sound of a sharp arrow breaking through the air sounded, and several guards on the side of the ship were suddenly hit by the arrow, and they fell into the sea from the ship.

Captain Ajaya had felt quite uneasy since he was asked during the day if he wanted to sell his ship, he knew the prosperity of the island, but he also knew that it was a lawless place, a "wild place" where pirates came to enforce the law.

So it set off a day earlier than the original plan, and on weekdays in Shuangyu Harbor, the "Rooster" only arranged one person to be on duty at night, and this time four were arranged on the deck, although the sailors were quite dissatisfied, and asked everyone to put their weapons in the closest place to them, this order also made his crew and sailors feel very dismissive. Therefore, the intensity of implementation is also much worse.

Sure enough, there was such a thing at night, hearing the noise outside and the sound of banging on the ship's board, although anyway, it was like a scene of drunkards arguing every day in Shuangyu Port, but this incident was too coincidental. Ajaya whispered to his crew to take their weapons to the deck, and to be quick.

But the crew who have been busy and reveling for a long day will have such a quick reaction time, many of them have uncharged arquebuses, and some people have grabbed a long knife or something like that on the deck.

Their delay was already too long, the draft of the Rooster loaded with cargo was already very deep, and it did not take much time to climb up the rope that flew to the grab, and when they rushed to the deck, they found dozens of people in two neat rows at the bow of the ship, holding short guns in their hands against them.

The power of the short gun is not worth mentioning compared to the heavy arquebus, but on this ship, within this distance, the power of the short gun can already be exerted to the maximum, besides, although the other party is the appearance of the Ming Dynasty, but such a formation is clearly very proficient in firearms.

The sailors below had not yet come out, and the dozen or so people who rushed to the deck were crowded, nervously looking at the short gun queue in front of them, not knowing what to do. Agaya's short gun is in his hand, whether it is a fight to the death or a compromise. He couldn't make a decision because the other party didn't make it clear.

At this time, the captain of the Rooster, Ajaya, heard the second mate behind him muttering in a low remorseful voice:

"Oh my God, my musket didn't even have ammunition on it......"

And there were a few people who echoed in the back, and Agaya, who heard this, already had the idea of turning around and shooting at these disobedient crew members, not to mention any death battle now, as long as it was a battle, it would definitely be death.

"Throw your weapons on the deck and go forward and get down, Captain Ajaya, and let the crew below surrender or they will all be burned to death!"

The words are round in Spanish at the back of the short bell queue.
