Part 5 Pirate Legend 61, Change
The "soul" of the Mayans had left Sapello's body, but General Carlos did not know that although the operation had failed again, and even lost the magical speedboat, he was not only not blamed or punished, but was honored by General Carlos as a guest.
Except for Carlos, the Spanish admirals did not know about the Mayan "possession", and mistakenly thought that it was because Carlos was asked by the governor of the New World to withdraw as soon as possible, and Carlos intended to curry favor with the noble-born lieutenant general, so Sapello's current status seems to be above the general.
The crystal ball has always been in Carlos's hands, never played any role, remember the Maya once said, only by wearing the crystal bracelet on the wrist, can establish a connection with the crystal ball, I don't know if the Maya is too stupid, or Sapelo is too cowardly, Carlos suddenly had an idea, find a capable person from the soldiers, let the Maya "possess" his body, maybe only in this way can he realize his wish.
Due to the loss of the miraculous speedboat, Carlos could no longer contact the prisoners of war in Oseia, and he had to take a temporary truce; However, the envoy of the governor is still urging him to withdraw his troops, which makes him uneasy all day long, in the past, the funny Maya often drinks and chats with him, since he "possessed" Sapello's body, he doesn't care much about himself, which strengthens Carlos's idea of killing Sapello, so, who will be used as a substitute for the Maya? And were the Mayans willing? He couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Carlos once ridiculed Tridani for being a fool, however, he personally led thousands of soldiers to start a treasure hunt, running around the islands every day, but all the treasure hunting operations, still no progress, made him have to doubt whether the "Solomon Treasure" is real, for this reason, he decided to interrogate the "psychic" Sapello in order to decide whether it is necessary to persevere.
Sapello wasn't stupid at all, he had already guessed Carlos' mind.
The two of them came to the general's command cabin together, and Carlos smiled and said: "Dear Kukulkan, now that we have reached this point, there is no need to make any detours, I just want to know, can we get King Solomon's treasure?" ”
When the Mayans "possessed", he never told Sapelo any secrets, he only remembered that the Mayans seemed to have said that they could use the crystal bracelet to summon any monster in the sea, and they could separate the sea water and take out the golden ark that sank to the bottom of the sea.
Since Carlos asked, Sapelo replied without hesitation: "All the treasures are at the bottom of the sea." ”
"Mr. Kukulkan, what I ask you now is, is there any other way than to summon a sea monster with that crystal bracelet?"
"Respected general, I'm afraid no, there's no good way."
If it weren't for the recommendation of the Governor of the New World, Carlos wouldn't have used this fool as his deputy anyway, and at this moment, he looked at Sapello, let out a reserved smile, and asked, "I don't know if you are now representing Kukulkan or my handsome lieutenant?" If now I want to change people......"
Sapelo had been prepared, and when he heard this, he drew his saber without hesitation......
"What do you bastard want to do?"
Sapelo didn't drag the mud and water at all, and his hand fell with a knife, and Carlos's head rolled to the ground......
So, he opened the hatch unhurriedly and shouted, "Come, first drag out this guy who resists the Governor's orders and wants to drag me out with the rebellion." ”
This "paladin" legion was built by Carlos, which is his iron-blooded team, although the deputy general Sapelo is from a noble background, after all, he does not have any military talent, and several operations have failed in his hands, he is just a flower ** in the minds of the generals, but now he has killed the main general, and everyone is dumbfounded.
Fortunately, the envoy of the governor, who urged them to withdraw his troops, had not yet left, so he hurriedly invited him to deal with the crisis, this envoy was already very annoyed with Carlos, and the situation in front of him was exactly what he was happy to see, so he followed Sapello's words and announced that Carlos had rebelled, and now Sappello was to serve as the temporary commander.
It should be said that this was calculated by Sapello, and then the envoy put forward a request for the withdrawal of the army, hoping that the new general would be able to carry it out to the letter.
Sending someone to clean the general's command cabin, and by the way, taking the Mayans' wives and concubines as a harem, Sapelo first enjoyed it for two days before bringing in the envoy and discussing with him about the withdrawal of the army.
"Your Excellency Envoy, as far as I know, the damned evil man Carlos is the first to sue first, and he sent someone to Madrid the other day ......"
Before Sappello could finish speaking, the messenger rushed to speak in order to show that he was well-informed: "This is called being clever but being mistaken by cleverness, Carlos thinks that he has seized the handle of the Governor, and falsely accuses the Governor of concealing the secrets of the Solomon Islands, and even does not claim sovereignty over the islands, perhaps he did not expect that our King is very wise and can see his plot at a glance. ”
Sapelo was a little puzzled, and he was afraid that his future would be jeopardized, so he asked in surprise: "See what conspiracy he has?" ”
"General, don't you think about it, that Solomon treasure is very ethereal, whether it can be found or not is afraid that no one dares to guarantee, and Carlos has a magical speedboat that travels thousands of miles a day, which he uses to sue for evil, and does not dedicate this artifact to His Majesty the King, such an obvious disobedience, do you still use others to expose it?"
"I see." Sapelo couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and then said: "Yes, although the Pope has demarcated the colonial area between us and the Francoman, our Great Spanish Empire is still facing competition from the Francoman, the Dutch, the Swedes, the French, the English and even the Italians. ”
"So, General Sapello, when are you going to withdraw your troops?"
Sapelo smiled slightly, waved his hand and replied, "Honorable envoy, please go back and report to the Governor, I can't withdraw my troops for the time being......"
"You—You've backtracked......"
"No, no, my esteemed envoy, I am not here to hunt for treasure, but to conquer the Osea tribe, to include the islands of Papua New Guinea in the empire, and at the same time to recapture those two magical speedboats, and then open up the southern New World, so that our Spanish Empire can completely defeat all competitors, not only to turn the Pacific Ocean into the inner lake of the empire, but also to the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean, please go back and report to the Governor, continue to dispatch troops, for the realization of this grand ideal, we need everyone to work together."
The envoy was dumbfounded, and asked in a daze, "But I don't know how long this war will last?" ”
"Please tell the Governor, if it is fast, it will be a month, and if it is slow, it will not exceed three months."
Everyone said that Sapelo was a straw bale, and the envoy did not expect him to have such confidence, so he suspected that he was bragging.
"General Sapello, please don't talk too much, what if you fail?"
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for reminding us that although our military superiority is very clear, victory or defeat in a war is not only based on military strength, but also on the role of politics......
The envoy suddenly realized, couldn't help but interrupt his words, and asked tentatively, "Could it be that you start with the Chinese merchant group in Acapulco?" ”
"Quite right!" Sapello was so excited that he got up and hugged the envoy......
"Great, General Sappelo, you are much better than the arrogant and rude Carlos, and I believe that Your Excellency the Governor and His Majesty the King will fully support you."
No matter what Sapello's military talent is, his trick can be regarded as a salary for Zhu Hui and the others, which is much more vicious than Carlos.
Zhu Hui was named the general of the Oseia Kingdom, in terms of repaying Bai Haishan's kindness, he was willing to give his life to King Aureto, however, he knew that he had weaknesses in his character, at the beginning, Tang Jing sent the Lan sisters to assassinate three Jinyi Guards, he saw Qing Yang's murder with his own eyes and did not dare to stop it, which led Huang Bingwen to commit heinous crimes in Nanjing, and later, he and Song He went to assassinate Huang Bingwen, which led to the Jinyi Wei to launch a large-scale search in Nanjing, almost causing the Tang family to be destroyed in his own hands, and even Ying Tian Governor Hai Rui was impeached for this.
It wasn't until Qing Yang was killed by the Dongchang Fan Service that he suddenly woke up, understood what human life is, and was annoyed by his youth and ignorance for life, and later, whether it was treating Wu Xiang, Huang Bingwen, Chen Yuanhua, Lin Feng, Ma Zhishan, Li Chenghuai, Liu Qian, or Jack and Simon Almeida and others, he took his master, Elder Yuekong, as an example, and treated everything with a compassionate attitude, and finally these wicked people finally changed their ways.
Of course, in the past, Xu Ling'er, Guo Yi, Elder Yuekong, Shen Qi and Bai Haishan and others made him the masters, but now, he wants to control the power alone, but he has no confidence in his heart, he is afraid that he will not be able to be a general, so he took the initiative to find King Aureto to resign, but this king's heart is very high, and he is advised not to live up to the entrustment of the previous king and the national teacher, and in order to realize the grand cause of the future, he must not easily retreat, so that Zhu Hui does not know what to do.
After taking the crystal bracelet with him, he began to lose any scruples, first taking Fernando to test his loyalty, but also to establish his prestige, sending them to slaughter Spanish prisoners of war on the east coast, after all, this group of people are Carlos's men, and the war is together, and it is most likely that there will be trouble.
Fernando personally led the team, wielding a butcher's knife without mercy, killing his compatriots cleanly.
Zhu Hui continued to take Fernando hostage, scattered more than 500 of his men into Oseia's team, and sent them to take the lead in the event of a war.
Now that the two magical speedboats are in the hands of Zhu Hui, it is easy to maintain communication with Shen Qi, Mendoza and others; During this time, Felipe came to Osea to pay tribute to his father, and expressed his gratitude to King Aureto, Zhu Hui and others, because the silver mines of Potosi were more important to him, so he had to give up his cooperation with Shen Qi and transfer all the business of Acapulco to Shen Qi.
At this time, Zhu Hui did not think about what Felipe's withdrawal meant, in order to protect the treasure transported by Baihaishan and at the same time to help the Eskimo Shaman regain the crystal ball, he decided to send troops to the Solomon Islands and wage war against Carlos, who disobeyed the orders of the governor of the New World.
