Part 5 Pirate Legend 51, Hostage Swap
After getting the permission of Bai Haishan, the old Fili met with the commander Sappello alone, and got a shocking news that Carlos also intended to take the throne of the governor of the southern New World, but he had not taken action for the time being, in the eyes of the general with heavy troops, it did not matter who was the first person to ascend the New World, and it was the key to have enough capital to gain a foothold, so he had to find the "Treasure of Solomon" in order to be qualified to rule the Southern New World in the future.
And old Fili is different, he sits on a mountain of silver in Portosi, and naturally has enough capital, which Carlos cannot compare; Old Fili was old, and he knew that there was a time when a silver mountain was mined, so he went to great lengths to find the southern New World as a foundation for his children and grandchildren.
Knowing Carlos's intentions, old Fili felt that he was lucky, and it was right to stay in Oseya, if the father and son fell into the hands of others, I don't know what the outcome would be?
Fili the Elder decided not to go, and now, seeing General Carlos as his most dangerous enemy, after some deliberation, he came up with a plan to get Sapelo to join the Freemasonry.
For a devout Catholic, it would be counterproductive to talk to him about this. At that time, Freemasonry as a mystical organization, mainly artisans, as long as theists could participate, after joining the hierarchy, it seemed unfathomable to the outside world, however, all members must advocate "justice, truth and justice", which in academic and theological views, different from the doctrine of the Holy See, but this set of theories is extremely attractive and tempting to people who are deeply oppressed by theocracy, so the Catholic Church compares its members to Satan the Devil, but at that time, The Pope did not forcibly ban Catholics from joining Freemasonry.
On this day, Zhu Hui and Bai Haishan accompanied the old Filip to see Sapello, and the old Filip asked Zhu Hui to show the short sword with the upper sub-gauge and the lower curved ruler, and the six-pointed star engraved in the middle, and asked him if he knew what it was?
Of course, Sapelo remembered that Han Xiaoyu took a huge risk in order to rescue Zhu Hui, and it was with this short sword that he forced the one-eyed dragon pirate Jack to tell the truth, it can be seen that Zhu Hui and Jack are both Freemasons, and the consequences of this may be regarded as heretics or Satan, and they will be burned at the stake by the military priests on behalf of the Inquisition, basically so, the treacherous and treacherous pirate leader is respectful in front of this short sword, and he is not afraid of danger, and he does not play tricks at all, That scene shocked Sapelo very much at the time.
In view of the fact that Han Xiaoyu and the others were all pagans in the East, and Wu Xiang concocted delicious cocktails in time, General Carlos also continued to delve into it, but in fact, the real reason, Sapello did not know.
To Sapello's surprise, Bai Haishan was actually a close disciple of St. Francis Xavier, and like the most powerful old Mr. Filip in the New World, the two were both "Venerable Lords" of Freemasonry.
As the general of the defeated army, Sapello was not mistreated in any way, and he was originally grateful to Bai Haishan, and after learning the secret identities of him and old Mr. Fili, he immediately understood what they meant, so Zhu Hui was the gatekeeper of the Temple of Light, and Felipe played the role of Saigon-Abif, and performed a ceremony of initiation of Freemasons.
In order to convince Sapello, old Filipe sent everyone away, left alone to talk to him, and gave him an idea, so that after he returned, he would try to kill Carlos, and in the future Felipe would become the governor of the southern New World, leaving him the position of commander-in-chief of the three armies, which was much better than being a little brother to others now.
Sappello gladly accepted the old Filip's suggestion and asked Bai Haishan to release him back to the Solomon Islands, and at the same time take the captured soldiers away, which was resolutely opposed by Lin Feng and others.
Bai Haishan proposed a compromise solution, first put Sapelo back, and then let General Carlos exchange Wu Xiang, Simon Almeida and Jack for prisoners, and finally reached an agreement.
For the sake of safety, Zhu Hui and others drove a magical speedboat and quietly sent Sapello to the "Paladin Island" and let him return to the "King Felipe" alone; Upon learning of the return of the defeated lieutenant, General Carlos had no intention of holding him responsible, but when he listened to the suggestion of a prisoner exchange, he immediately attached a condition that the old Filip and his son must return to the Solomon Islands.
A few days later, Sapelo was sent in again, and when old Filip heard Carlos's request, he knew that he had bad intentions, and decided to let Zhu Hui send him back to Acapulco and go to Mexico City to meet the Governor General and remove the damned general.
Sapelo returned to the Solomon Islands again, and told the situation through the mouth of old Fili, wanting to take the opportunity to threaten Carlos, but he didn't expect him to smile and not take it seriously at all.
Carlos was not a fool either, judging by Sappelo's words and demeanor, it was very likely that the lieutenant had colluded with old Fili, and he was also imprisoned on the grounds of his defeat.
At this point, Carlos was even more determined to find the treasure, and then he was going to lead his army to the southern New World, so he was determined not to let the old Filip father and son return to Acapulco, and now he also has a magical speedboat, so he will no longer look for the crystal bracelet for the time being, and send someone to drive the magical speedboat to closely monitor Oseya, as long as the old Filip and his son have any abnormal movements, they will be killed at all costs.
Because the speed of the magical speedboat was too fast, he was afraid that Old Filip would not be able to stand it when it was speeding up, so Bai Haishan advised him to be cautious and sent Zhu Hui and other brothers to send Felipe back, but Old Filipe was worried that Carlos would sue the wicked man first, and secondly, he was not worried about Bodosi's business, so he finally insisted on leaving.
In the early morning of this day, Bai Haishan and others personally sent the old Fili father and son onto the boat, and sent Zhu Hui, Song He and others to escort them back to Acapulco, and Song He did not have to come back, he was also responsible for the safety of "Jianye Village".
Because old Fili was old, he was really afraid that he would not be able to bear it when he ran, Zhu Hui didn't dare to drive the magical speedboat too fast, and he had just left the east coast of New Guinea for less than half an hour, Song He held a telescope in his hand to watch, and was suddenly startled, only to see another magical speedboat chasing after him, and the Western Navy was all holding arquebuses and aiming at them......
Zhu Hui knew that the two magical speedboats ran at comparable speeds, and once they caught up, the two boats would automatically slow down and lean together, and it would be dangerous at that time, so he sent someone to send Old Filip into the bilge to ensure his safety first, and then began to speed forward on the vast sea......
The two magical speedboats basically kept a constant distance, and they flew on the sea for nearly three days and nights, and finally they could see the lighthouse of Acapulco, Zhu Hui and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and when they were about to slow down, they suddenly found that there was an ambush circle laid by the ships in front of them, and the two warships were waiting for them, as long as Zhu Hui and they dared to approach, they would fire at them......
In order to ensure that the old Filipe did not have an accident, Zhu Hui urgently turned the bow of the boat and went south, and found a fishing port in Guatemala to stop, Felipe had just landed under the support of the Song River, and before Zhu Hui and others could react, suddenly a burst of arquebuses rang out, so frightened that Zhu Hui immediately operated the speedboat to leave the coast, and the two sides just kept the distance that the arquebuses could not shoot, and they could no longer shake off the pursuit......
Zhu Hui tried to get rid of the pursuers, and the opponent's piloting skills were not inferior, if there was no shore cover, it was almost impossible to stop and dock, just like that, after three days and three nights, he returned to Oseya, and the opponent chased him until the ghostly Shalang Peninsula, at this time, under the cover of the warships led by Lin Feng, Zhang Gouer and others, he forced the opponent to leave the waters of New Guinea.
Back in the court of Oseia, old Fili was already dying, after this toss, even if no one pursued him, he didn't dare to go back, hoping that Sapelo could kill Carlos to relieve the trouble.
Bai Haishan decided to release some of the prisoners of war and let them send a message to Carlos, and wanted to use the remaining more than 300 Spanish navy to exchange Wu Xiang, Jack and Simon Almeida, and at the same time, secretly bribed a few people through Old Fili, and if Carlos did not agree to the exchange, let them try to report the news, so that they could grasp Carlos's movements.
In order to make these few fine workers work hard, old Filip promised them heavy profits, and accepted them as disciples of the Freemasonry, and even made a promise that in the future they would be great officials in the southern New World; But these few servants all agreed, and they were not stupid, because Sapelo had not heard from him after returning for the second time, Carlos chased and intercepted the old Filip and his son, and knew that Carlos had already given up the prisoners of war, and wanted to use them in exchange for hostages, or as fine workers, which was tantamount to throwing themselves into a net, and they might as well stay in Oseia to eat and drink and be happy.
The captured Spanish navy was under the personal care of Lin Feng, who fenced them down on a sandy beach on the east coast, and there was a fishing port not far away, and in order to prevent them from escaping, there were no ships in normal times.
One morning, before the sun rose, Lin Feng looked into the distance with a telescope, and found through the morning fog that the enemy's magical speedboat was coming again, at this time, most of the captives were still sleeping in the tents, and a few got up early, and jumped into the sea before they had time to greet their companions, Zhu Hui and others appeared in time in a small boat, and they didn't even have a fine work, so they could only shoot them with bows and arrows.
In a short time, hundreds of people rushed into the sea at the risk of being shot, all trying to board the magical speedboat to be rescued.
Floating corpses in the shallow sea, the magical speedboat did not dare to approach because of fear of ambush, just as they were about to leave, they suddenly found a patrol boat chasing after them, just as they were aiming and shooting, they heard someone shouting their names......
Behind the patrol boat, the Oseas chased after them, shooting arrows at them, forcing them to jump into the sea and swim desperately forward, and finally they were rescued by the miraculous speedboat......
These prisoners of war, who had escaped from the adventure, were honored by General Carlos, and after testing them, they began to be put to good use.
