Part 5 Pirate Legend 87, Who Leaked
The day after seeing off Lin Feng, Fernando, accompanied by Sapello, came to Jianye Village to express his condolences to the Chinese business group on behalf of the New World authorities......
After the ceremonial activities, Fernando came to the "Hongmen Hall" and summoned Zhu Hui and Zhang Gou'er separately to inquire about the purpose and development intentions of the "Hongmen".
Zhu Hui did not evade it, bluntly saying that "Hongmen", as a non-governmental organization of overseas Chinese, took the Ming Dynasty as the main thing and "loyalty and filial piety" as the purpose to unite people's hearts, therefore, "Hongmen" is not a "Freemasonry", but adheres to the Chinese tradition, puts righteousness first, faith is the foundation, makes friends from all over the world, upholds the right and punishes the evil, promotes the good and eliminates the evil, and protects the homeland, and has no intention of confrontation with the authorities.
In this regard, Fernando said that it was understandable that during the communication between the two sides, no one mentioned Lin Feng, as if he did not exist at all, and then, he asked about Jack's situation, and the two answered one by one......
As soon as he heard that Oreto dared to detain the Imperial Intelligence Officer, Fernando suddenly became furious, and at the same time, he was particularly indignant that Zhu Hui and others did not report the matter to themselves after returning to the New World despite Jack's safety, and decided on the spot to personally take command of the expedition against Osea and rescue the Imperial Intelligence Officer Jack and others.
In fact, Fernando's performance was not unexpected at all, as Lin Feng said, this "upstart of the empire" has not given up the treasure hunt so far, and even has to look for the "Southern New World" in order to realize his dream of being a governor, and let him find a reasonable excuse for Jack's detention in Oseia.
After the elimination of the "sea beggar guerrillas", the situation in the New World was much more stable, and Fernando finally found a legitimate reason for himself to expedition to Osea in the name of the Spanish Empire, and was strongly supported by the governor of New Spain.
The soldiers of the Ming army plus all the villagers in Jianye Village are only more than 500 people, even if they are all sent over, I am afraid that they will not be of great use, and they will annoy the authorities of the New World and bring trouble to Jianye Village.
Han Xiaoyu is now pregnant, so she naturally gets more care from Zhu Hui, and she has a little snub to Zhang Min'er and Wu Lian, which caused Wu Xiang's dissatisfaction, Wu Xiang found Zhu Hui this day, and wanted to teach this brother-in-law who didn't know what to do, but found that he was soaking in the "Hongmen Hall" every day, and even Han Xiaoyu ignored it, so he knew that he was in trouble, and asked the reason, he gave Zhu Hui and others an idea, this matter had to find Felipe and Father Mendoza to help, and they came forward to persuade the governor to maybe solve the crisis.
Wu Xiang still knows Father Mendoza very well, although this priest has never been to China, but he is very advocating Chinese culture, was a frequent visitor to the "Yingtian Academy" in Jianye Village, Tian Youcai, a fourth-grade official born in the Ming Dynasty, who worked as a bookkeeper in Jinling Daqian Village, Liu Qian, who crackled with an abacus, "wrote" the famous Journey to the West in China, Wu Xiang of the Golden Bottle, plus the respected Elder Yuekong, Xuande Zhenren, these five are his teachers, therefore, in the diocese he presided over, he treated Chinese businessmen very friendly.
It's a pity that when Carlos was searching for treasure in the Solomon Islands, in order to force Osaia to surrender, he used military forces to drive him away, and Sapelo was transferred to Mexico City, took good care of Father Mendoza, built a small church for him in the suburbs, and at the same time, he was also funded by Shen Qi, and is currently writing a history of the Great Chinese Empire.
Zhu Hui and the others decided to take Wu Xiang's suggestion, so they went to Mexico City together to visit Father Mendoza, and at the same time asked Shen Qi to help contact Felipe to stop Fernando's crazy actions as much as possible.
Father Mendoza, hearing Wu Xiang's intentions, also put forward his opinion that if he wanted to succeed in convincing the governor, it would be better to ask General Sapelo to come forward, and he and Felipe would be accompanied by him, and he would surely find a reason to stop the war.
At the same time, Felipe, who was far away in Portosi, also received news that it was time for the merchant group to share dividends, and Shen Qi invited him to receive the dividends, and second, Zhu Hui and others were going to explore the "Southern New World", and the "right to discover" this new continent was ready to be left to him, so that he could realize his father's unfulfilled long-cherished wish.
Felipe was thrilled by this news, and even if his family had money, it would be difficult to buy a noble position, and old Mr. Filipe worked hard for this all his life, and until his death begged Bai Haishan for help, and he must bring his son to the "Southern New World" and win him a position as governor.
In the past two months, taking advantage of the aftermath of the victory in the Gulf of Mexico, Fernando has been vigorously preparing for war, gathering more than 20 warships, more than 3,000 soldiers and nearly 1,000 sailors under his command, and preparing enough supplies for half a year......
During Fernando's preparations, Zhu Hui and the others were very eager to have news of Lin Feng, but now that it was an emergency, even Sophie's little girl did not appear......
Felipe came to Acapulco, and after receiving the dividends given to him by Shen Qi, he accompanied Zhu Hui and others to Mexico City, leaving the clear space and Chen Xuewen to look after the house, and Song He also came this time, and everyone gathered in the chapel and was warmly received by Father Mendoza......
Before the meeting, the priest took out the history of the Great China Empire that he was writing and read a story about Qin Shi Huang's summoning of Xu Fu......
The army pressed the border, not only could not save the intelligence officer Jack and others, but also killed him. Using Xu Fu's story as a metaphor, it is to make the governor understand that Fernando's move is not to save people, he wants to take away the main naval force of the New World, to realize his own ambitions and dreams, and his real purpose is to hunt for treasure in Oseia, and then cut land in the "Southern New World" to claim dominance, and will definitely not return......
If this story was not enough to impress the governor, Father Mendoza proposed that Sapello, who was from an aristocratic background, be appointed as the overseer, and he, Felipe, Zhu Hui and others would accompany him, so that Aureto could release Jack and the others, and do everything possible to avoid war without giving the army any excuse to conquer Oseia.
Considering that Fernando will definitely go his own way, even if he temporarily gives up the crusade against Osea, he will inevitably go south to explore the "New World", then, before the army sets out, please ask the governor to announce to the world on behalf of the king that in recognition of the outstanding contributions made by old Philip to the empire, the new territory obtained by this expedition will directly appoint Mr. Felipe as the governor, completely cutting off any thoughts of Fernando.
Father Mendoza's proposal was unanimously approved, and Zhu Hui and the others were invited to rest in the church, and he immediately took Felipe to Sapello, and then met the governor together, when they were about to go out, when they were suddenly blocked by a group of people.
Charlie, who was swaggering, led a few thugs, and without saying anything, he took Father Mendoza and Felipe away, and then a group of thugs of different colors came running, rushing into the church to arrest people, which of them were the opponents of this brother, and after a while, they beat them to a wolf's howl, and suddenly a blonde and blue-eyed goblin came, and Zhu Hui and the others stopped immediately......
No need to ask, this person must be Sophie, this little girl doesn't talk nonsense, hands a letter to Zhu Hui, whistles at the gangsters, and the gang gets up and wants to go with her......
Just when Zhu Hui was reading the letter, Zhang Gou'er and Song He stopped them, Sophie was not timid, and immediately took out a ring, Zhu Hui looked at it, it was the "King Solomon's Ring"!
At the beginning of the letter, Lin Feng said in the letter that he had returned to Osea and laid a net to completely bury Fernando's expeditionary force......
Zhang Gou'er and Song He looked at Zhu Hui at the same time, not knowing whether to let them go, at this time, they suddenly heard a noise outside the church door, Zhu Hui suddenly realized that Father Mendoza and Felipe might be in danger, and they didn't have time to say more, so they quickly rushed to the church door, where was there still a trace of them?
Fernando's army is about to set off, even if Lin Feng can win, it will definitely harm thousands of people in Jianye Village, and the situation that has finally opened up in the New World will be ruined because of his ambition alone......
Zhu Hui quickly returned to the church, gave Zhang Gou'er and Song He a look, and the three of them did not show mercy, first cleaned up these little gangsters, and then controlled the little goblin Sophie, and forced her to ask her about the whereabouts of Father Mendoza......
Sophie's attitude was very reserved, and she didn't say anything, until in the evening, a Filipino Chinese suddenly broke into the church, claiming to represent Lin Feng, and asked them to release Sophie immediately, if Zhu Hui and the others did not agree, they would immediately send someone to kidnap Shen Qi, Tang Jing and others, and the three brothers were almost stupid......
In the letter to Zhu Hui and others, Lin Feng made his plan very clear, after Fernando was rewarded for his meritorious service, his ambition was extremely inflated, and he wanted to search for treasure at the same time, but also to go to find the southern New World, he promised to help Fernando find treasure, and his real purpose was to take this opportunity to eliminate the main force of Westerners in Oseia, and that ring was a token.
After Fernando takes away the main force of the New World, the fake Hendry will launch the remnants of the pirates and rise up all over the New World, because Lin Feng himself is not here, so that Zhu Hui and others can quickly expand the "Hongmen" forces, everything is under Sophie's command, Charlie must be controlled, waiting for him to launch a counteroffensive from Oseia, and he must take the west coast of the New World in one fell swoop, and he will ascend the throne here as the emperor......
In order to reassure Zhu Hui and others, Lin Feng repeatedly emphasized that everything he did was for the sake of all the Chinese in Jianye Village, and the entire uprising process would never affect Jianye Village, provided that Zhu Hui and others obeyed the command until the Osea army occupied the New World, during this period, as long as Zhu Hui and others controlled Charlie, everything was under control.
However, before Fernando's army set off, Zhu Hui and others wanted to stop the war, so they forced Sophie and others to be in a hurry, so they had to jump out and kidnap Father Mendoza, and she herself fell into the hands of Zhu Hui and others.
The plan to convince the governor had just been agreed, and before all the actions had even begun, they were sabotaged by Sophie and others, so what went wrong?
In order to ensure the safety of Father Mendoza and Felipe, Zhu Hui offered to exchange hostages, and the comers continued to threaten that if Miss Sophie was not released, he would not be able to contact the puppet Charlie, and that the pirate remnants would get rid of Lin Feng's control, which would not only harm the colonial authorities, but also make Jianye Village uneasy......
In desperation, Zhu Hui and the others had no choice but to release Sophie and were willing to obey her command......
