Part 5 Pirate Legend 96, Little Reunion
The Bible says, "Go and collect the land, and don't take it all and leave a little for the poor......
In the name of treasure hunting, Cohen had an appointment with Sappello in advance, and it was not only Hendry's remnants who brought in him, but also many outlaws who were also merchants and thieves, using them to conquer Oseia, and Sappelo would recommend him to the Philippines, for which he sent people to kidnap Shen Qi and Tang Jing to take over their property in Manila.
Even Cohen himself didn't expect that Oseaya was so vulnerable, just when he was secretly proud, he didn't expect Sapelo to call, and the commander turned out to be Jack, although he didn't know what happened in the emperor, but he knew that Fernando chose Lin Feng to control the "sea beggar guerrillas" and sent Jack away during the preparation for the war, just because he was a Dutchman.
On the first day of the battle, Cohen understood Jack's intentions, as far as possible not to hurt the Dutch, he didn't plan to stay here, let alone have no intention of searching for treasure, under the tacit understanding of him and Jack, except for the Dutch, almost all the outlaws, the rest of the naval commanders also saw the trick, all of them withdrew, and when Lin Feng and Yan Ke landed with Sapello, he found out that Jack was not the manipulator behind the scenes.
Therefore, Cohen urgently ordered the Dutch people to hide and try to evacuate from Oseia, even without Sapello's recommendation, with the two hostages in his hands, they could still rise in the Philippines and wait for the Dutch to become independent.
Lin Feng, Yan Keyong and others recovered Oseya, worried that the remaining pirates would take Shen Qi and Tang Jing away, so they docked all the ships at the Wave Shelter Wharf on the east coast, so that Cohen had no way to steal a galleon.
Ten days later, as soon as the three brothers led the Ming soldiers to land on the island, they hid the warship on the east coast, and they immediately threw themselves into the operation of rescuing the hostages, until dusk, Wanxi, Han Xiaoyu and others entered the port on a merchant ship, so that Cohen could seize the opportunity......
After the melee, Zhu Hui, Han Xiaoyu and other "heavenly soldiers" were taken away, and more than half of the Dutch people were killed in battle.
In order to ensure the safety of Shen Qi and Tang Jing, even if he knew the hiding place of the pirates, he did not dare to attack forcibly, and when everyone was at a loss, Jack reported that he was brave enough to negotiate.
If it weren't for Jack's "release of water", I'm afraid all the pirates would have been annihilated, thinking of this Lin Feng became angry, and ordered someone to arrest him at that time, Yan Keyong wanted to go, but Lin Feng was not at ease, and fell into a stalemate for a while......
Jack was tied up and thrown into a cell, and when he saw Sapello, he laughed out loud and asked, "My general, do you dare to go back to Mexico?" ā
Sapelo was very ashamed, bowed his head and remained silent.
Jack continued: "I remember you once said that Cohen wanted to go to the Philippines to develop and cooperate with you in this operation, and now, you might as well go with him." ā
"Coming with him?"
"Yes, I'm going to trade you for hostages, and it's said that you know the Governor of Manila, and I'm sure Cohen will agree."
"If you can do it, it can't be better."
As soon as Sapello's words fell, Yan Keyong suddenly pushed open the cell door and said with a smile: "Mr. Jack, you are a good person, I can accompany you to negotiate with Cohen." ā
In this way, with Lin Feng's consent, Yan Keyong accompanied Jack to a small island, and someone brought them to Cohen's approach.
Looking at young Cohen, tears flowed from Jack's single eye......
"God bless the Netherlands! I hope that in the future, we in the Netherlands will no longer shed blood or tears. ā
"Mr. Jack, please receive my high respect! Please tell us what you want. ā
"I sent Sappello to you, the merchant ship on the west coast for you to leave, please release the hostages in your hands."
"No problem." Cohen glanced at Yan Keyong and continued, "Leave him behind, and when I get the galleon and enough fresh water and food, I won't be too late to release him." ā
Yan Keyong hurriedly stretched out his hand and replied with a smile: "Deal!" ā
That night, Jack brought Shen Qi and Tang Jing back, and everyone was busy preparing freshwater river food for the galleon, and then used it to exchange for Yan Ke.
Early the next morning, Cohen sent men to receive the galleon, inspected it inside and out, tried to drink fresh water, ate some food, and made sure that everything was all right, and then wanted to sail away.
Since Yan Keyong has not come back yet, how can Zhang Gou'er, Song He and others give up? In the end, it was Lin Feng who stepped forward and asked them to drive the boat away......
The shadow of the sail gradually disappeared from sight, and Lin Feng couldn't help but shed tears, silently praying for Yan Keyong......
Zhang Gou'er couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, can Brother Yan come back?" ā
"He, he's been homesick for a long time, and he's going back to his hometown in Yuegang, Zhangzhou......"
After Shen Qi and Tang Jing returned, everyone gathered in the Osea royal court to hold a vigorous sacrifice activity, King Oreto and his wife left, Bai Haishan left, Hong Zhenren left, Mary left, Xuande Zhenren and Simon Almeida were martyred here, and Wang Cuiqiao was also enshrined in the ancestral hall......
Under the auspices of Lin Feng, Oseya openly elected a new leader, and he himself no longer had the ambition of the Tortoiseshell Harbor era, nor did he have the ambition when he had just arrived in Oseia, at this time, he just wanted to tell everyone: Osea is the Oseia of the Ossea people, and the "Big Word Island" is the "Big Word Island" of the people of Big Say......
So, they left Osea together, and half a month later they returned to Acapulco, and Father Mendoza and Felipe did not even rest on their feet, and immediately set off for Mexico to report to the governor.
Lin Feng, Zhang Gou'er, Song He and the soldiers of the Ming army returned triumphantly, and received high courtesy from everyone, and the firecrackers in Jianye Village rang out, the lion danced vigorously, and collectively celebrated the safe return of Shen Qi and Tang Jing, and gathered together in the "Hongmen Hall" to pray for Zhu Hui and Han Xiaoyu......
Zhang Gou'er and Xu Ajiao reunited proudly, Lin Feng also got Luo Amin's mother and daughter's understanding, now, Zhang Min'er and Wu Lian are pregnant with Zhu Hui's flesh and blood, they learned of the misfortune of their husband and Han Xiaoyu, they all cried into tears, in order to take good care of the two of them, Mrs. He moved to their house, and personally took charge of their lives in the future, Luo sisters, Shen Yueying, Wanxi, Xu Ajiao and other female relatives took turns to help until they raised the two children in the future......
That night, Lin Feng came to Pudu Temple alone and cried bitterly in front of the bed of the Elder of the Moon Sky......
Elder Yuekong couldn't get out of bed for many days, and there was still a trace of breath, just waiting to shave Lin Feng, and with the support of Xiao Shami, he picked up the razor and cut off a strand of green silk on Lin Feng's head, revealing a knowing smile......
Putting down the razor in his hand, the elder draped the robe on Lin Feng's body, and the scroll was placed in front of him, and then folded his hands and sat cross-legged beside him......
"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south." Lin Feng thought about it and asked in a low voice, "Elder, have you ever given me a good legal name?" ā
After asking three times in a row, he felt that something was wrong, and Lin Feng hurriedly grabbed the elder's wrist, only to find that his pulse had stopped beating.
"The elder has passed away, he has fulfilled his mission, and the poor monk will inherit his mantle from now on. The five aggregates are all empty and cyclically changing, just like the nature of emptiness. The poor monk calls himself 'Master of Emptiness', and he gives birth to the Dharma of karma and the emptiness of his own nature......"
As soon as Lin Feng's words fell, there was already a cry outside the door......
Three days later, Father Mendoza and Felipe returned, they completely exposed the conspiracy of Fernando and Sapello, and after the Governor learned the truth, he praised Jianye Village for his righteous deeds, because Fernando was dead, he was no longer held responsible, but could not forgive Sapello, Yan Keyong, Lin Feng and Jack and others, Father Padoza continued to serve as bishop of San Diego Cathedral, Felipe became mayor of Acapulco, and the four key criminals were arrested.
Trade with Manila and Zhangzhou was still ongoing, and Mayor Felipe personally wrote a letter to Governor Lavizares and sent them to Manila by merchant ship, hoping to arrest Cohen, Sapello, and Yan Keyong......
Although the New World is mixed and the social order is extremely unstable, because Shen Qi, Tang Jing and others are willing to give and do business, there is always a sense of proportion, the business of the Chinese is getting bigger and bigger, the reading voice of Yingtian Academy is getting louder and louder, the incense in Pudu Temple and Yuxu Palace is getting more and more vigorous, and the influence of "Hongmen Hall" is getting bigger and bigger......
Jianye Village is thriving, and immigrants from all over the world are gathering more and more in the New World......
Suddenly, one day, Sophie sent a letter to Zhang Gou'er, asking him to be quiet, if he can help, he can help, and if he can't help, forget it.
Zhang Gou'er was excited when he saw it, it turned out that this letter was written by Jack, how could there be any reason not to help? So, he took Sophie and quietly left Jianye Village, and on the east coast of the Gulf of Mexico, he paid a lot of money for fishermen to send them to Cuba, through the narrow island of Cuba, across the strait into the island of Haiti, along the way with no intention of admiring the beautiful Caribbean scenery, and finally arrived in the small town of San Juan, Puerto Rico.
As soon as Jack saw Zhang, he held his hands tightly, causing Sophie to pull them apart, and then she threw herself into Jack's arms......
"Sophie, I love you!"
"Dear Jack, why did you leave me behind?"
"Didn't you want to marry that bastard Shen Mao at that time?"
"At that time, IāI couldn't get rid of Hendry's control......"
"The credit for Hendry's 'rejuvenation' should be mine, Fernando is afraid that after I control the 'sea beggar guerrillas', he will no longer obey his command and trick me into going to the Solomon Islands......"
"Jack, if you really love me, you shouldn't go......"
"I don't have the ability of Lin Feng, if I come to make Hengdry 'rejuvenate', I'm afraid we will both die......"
"And what are you doing here now?"
"Back then, Captain Mendner brought back a lot of treasures from the Solomon Islands, all of which were bought by the old governor of Puerto Rico, and the 'Holy Grail' fell into the hands of Lin Feng, and there is also an Egyptian sun god badge here, which can lift any curse in the world, I must wear it on you, so that you will always be free and free again, and no longer suffer any humiliation......"
Zhang Gou'er couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Jack, I sent Sophie to you, where is the 'Gate of Heaven'?" Have you ever met your 'gatekeeper'? ā
"The 'Gate of Heaven' is in the distant Bermuda Islands, and I will take you there."
Sophie asked, "Jack, are you still a pirate?" ā
"Perhaps, two hundred years from now, ......"
