Chapter 727: Allah's Gift (Subscription Requested) (Page 1/1)
Not far from Ceylon, an Arabian gown sailing ship was sailing at a high speed. Dozens of oars sticking out from the side of the ship kept flying up and down the sea, stirring up waves and pushing the sailboat forward quickly.
The ship's unique spinnaker pushes the ship forward in crosswinds, and although the boat has a deep draft, it can still maintain a high speed.
"Abduka! My friend, I heard that you made a fortune last time in Manthorn, and you must have made more money this time, congratulations! A bearded man with a dark face said to the fat man beside him.
"Ibra new! You're not making less! Last time that indigenous tribe heard that you also got a lot of gold, that is the gift of Allah! Abdulkah said.
The two of them, a businessman and a shipowner, were chatting happily. From the lookout post came a shout: "Dear master! There is smoke rising ahead, and there may be ships burning at sea! ”
The two who were interrupted were stunned for a moment, this place was close to the sea of Ceylon. Under the deterrence of Dutch warships, there were few pirates.
When encountering black smoke at sea, it is likely that pirates will set fire to the ship after plundering, who is so bold to commit crimes near Ceylon, are they not afraid of the encirclement and suppression of the Dutch?
The merchant Abdukar spoke first: "Take a detour! Hurry up and take a detour! Allah, may He punish these damned pirates. May the souls of the departed rest ......"
The ship's owner, Ibrasin, did not give an order, but asked the sailor in charge of the lookout: "Can you see how many ships there are at sea?" Did you hear the sound of cannon fire? ”
Liaoyang's sailor shook his head, he only saw the pillar of smoke that rushed to the sky, and nothing else.
"My friend! Are you still going to go and have a look? Allah, I can put my wealth and malice on your boat, we can't risk it! Abdulkah said anxiously.
Ibrasin smiled and said, "Abduka! You're too nervous. The Flame is the fastest ship on the sea, and no one can catch up with my darling. Let's just take a look from afar, it's very close to Ceylon.
If there were pirates, we would soon be able to escape into Ceylon, what if something else? Dear friends, we cannot let go of Allah's gift to us! ”
The last sentence touched Abdukah, who looked at Ibrahim and said, "If there is a benefit, give me half of it!" ”
"Oh! My friend, you are too greedy. It's my flame that braves, and the harvest should be mine. I think it's a good choice to give you Ichisei! Ibrasin said, shaking his finger.
Abduka, on the other hand, did not give an inch, "Ibrasin, don't forget, the most valuable thing on the ship is my cargo." I'm taking a huge risk with you, and the benefits of one percent won't work at all! ”
In the dispute between the two, they gradually approached this column of smoke that rose into the sky. When they were close enough, they could see where the smoke was coming from.
A huge ship was moored alone at sea, and the sails seemed to have all been burned, and the ship was drifting along the sea.
There were no problems with the main body of the boat, and it did not look like it was tilted into the water at all. It looks a little old on the outside, but you can tell at a glance that this is a good boat.
Billowing smoke rose from the ship, and there was no one on the ship. I don't know what caused the boat to be here, and why it started a fire.
Seeing this lonely ship, Ibra's eyes lit up. He excitedly said: "Allah is above!" This is the best gift you have ever given me, thank you Allah Almighty! ”
Abduka was also very excited, how much cargo can such a large ship hold? If it is full of Ming goods, the value is ......
"Ibra new! Do you want to monopolize the benefits? Don't forget, the harvest has at least 30% of my benefits! Abdulkah said with a glare.
……
They gradually approached the ship, and when it was less than two miles away, Ibrahim finally got a clear view of the ship.
He put down the clairvoyant mirror and said, "My friend! This is a Galen ship, and the draft of this ship must have been loaded with a lot of cargo. I regret it a little, to be able to get all the cargo on board, you guy is definitely blessed by Allah! ”
"Come on! Ibra is new, and the ship is fully capable of being converted into a battleship. Once you've got a ship, you're still afraid of those damn pirates? You will be the master of the seas, and any merchant will have to beg you to deliver their goods.
You will become the richest shipowner, you will have more and more ships, and eventually you will cover the whole ocean! Abdukar said with a smile. Although he can get the ship's cargo, he is jealous of Ibra's new good fortune.
As they approached the ship, a bad feeling rose in Ibra's heart. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.
It wasn't until he approached the distance of a hundred paces that Ibra's new pupils dilated. He finally knew that something was wrong, and just now he was attracted by the ship in front of him and forgot the most important thing.
The billowing black smoke has been burning for so long, why is the mast of the sea ship still intact. Even if the mast is intact, what about the sturdy sails tied with rope on the mast?
Could it be that the smoke from the ship did not burn the ship at all, or that the smoke was deliberately done? The thought of the latter possibility made his scalp tingle.
He turned and ran quickly towards the rudder, slamming it in one direction. The mouth shouted in panic: "Turn! Turn! ”
Abdukar looked at his old friend, who was behaving strangely, and he moved his fat figure over and asked, "My friend! What's wrong? Don't you want the gift of Allah? ”
"Nope! This is the devil's bait, for Allah's sake, hurry up and help me move the rudder. No one will be able to leave in the evening, hurry up! Ibrasin yelled as he sped up his movements.
The Flame began to turn slowly, and the oarsman on one side stopped paddling, and the oarsman on the other side worked harder. With the efforts of the ship's sailors, the Flame turned slightly sideways over the hull.
Just as the Flame had just turned to the hull, the side of the motionless ship suddenly opened one gun window after another.
The muzzle of the black hole was pushed out, and under the frightened eyes of the sailors on the Flame, one cannon after another spewed out gunsmoke, and the cannonballs whistled at the Flame, which was turning.
There was little chance of missing a hundred paces, and the chain bullets swept through the deck of the Flame with a whistling sound. Buildings that were almost above the ship's side were swept away, and the flame's masts were all destroyed by the attack.
