At a distance of about 500 meters from each other, the two Virginia-class battleships fired eight guns in unison to add several large holes to the starboard side of the sailing ship, which had lost most of its speed and the hull was rolling, and the flying warhead fragments and wood chips swept down a large part of the sailors and gunners on the deck near the starboard side. The www.biquge.info saw that his ship was about to capsize, but instead of abandoning the ship and fleeing for their lives, the surviving men on it got into the cabin, and sang to the rhythm of the thing, and sank into the sea with their warship.

"Let our priests go and give them a farewell ceremony, these people are enemies, and they are also soldiers worthy of our respect." Hong Tao originally wanted to force them to abandon the ship and surrender, but he didn't expect these Dutch to be so fierce that they would not surrender, and finally chose to live and die with their own warships. At this point, there was no way to rescue it, and anything that came close to the wreck could be caught by the ropes on it, and it could only watch as its mast and song slowly disappeared into the sea.

Dutch, yes, Hong Tao heard a pronunciation similar to the German of later generations from their singing, and in his previous life he knew a Dutch guide named Pee, and the Dutch he and his sister probably spoke this flavor. However, it seems that there is no such country as the Netherlands, and most of the areas of the Netherlands and Belgium in later generations are owned by the Kingdom of Germany, and a small part is in the territory of the Kingdom of France.

Whether it was Dutch or not, you only need to ask the people on Karl's whaling fleet to find out, and there are really no prisoners. Not everyone was as dead as the sailors on this ship, and many of the first ship to be sunk were rescued by the Salmon-class armed cargo ships in their own fleet.

"Your Majesty, Lord, praise you......" The supreme commander of the whaling fleet was actually a black North African slave, who seemed to have converted to Christianity, but his habit of patting on the back was similar to that of Martini, and his movements and gestures were the same.

"Without further ado, tell me why they are besieging you and who are they?" Martini is so skilled that Hong Tao is too lazy to listen, and the nonsense of this black captain is even less approved by Hong Tao, and he was ruthlessly interrupted as soon as he started.

"They claimed to be the Flemish Hanseatic and said that this area was where they hunted and that we were not allowed to whalish here. We fought once at the beginning of the year, and this time they lost their boats, and this time they hid six ships behind the island to the south, and lured us with two ships to rob us. Fortunately, His Majesty appeared here in time like an angel, praising the Lord...... "The black captain's Chinese is very good, it seems that he has been mixed with Carl for many years, and the words are correct and round, but the problem of praising just talking is very annoying."

"Flemish Hansea! Are you sure it's the name? Any idea where they come from? Does the Count know about this? "It turned out that the two sides were fighting over the whaling waters, and they were still old enemies, but the word Hanseatic was too surprising to Hong Tao. It's a Germanic word that probably means a guild or an alliance. In later generations, there were Rhine and Hansea, Swabian and Hanseatic, and the most famous Hanseatic alliance also had the same meaning. But this kind of alliance of commercial cities should not have appeared in the thirteenth century, it seems that it will be a hundred years before it has a chance to come out, why does it exist now? What is Flanders?

"It's supposed to be the name, I can't get it wrong. The Earl just asked about this kind of trivial matter, and His Excellency the Baron said that all the sea belongs to Your Majesty, and you don't have to listen to anyone else where we go to whaling, and whoever doesn't let you beat him will beat him, and if you can't beat it, you will help Miss Baron to avenge it. The black captain couldn't understand where this Hanseatic alliance came from, but he remembered Jiang Zhuyi's order clearly. It seems that Karl doesn't care much about Karl Fort now, and he focuses most of his energy on oil tankers and Myaburg, the latter estimating more.

"You go back to the ship first, stop whaling yet, and follow me back to Fort Karl. Prepare a dinghy for me, and I'll go look at the captives on the cargo ship. Hong Tao didn't plan to talk to this black captain anymore, he was also a broken mouth, but he had too little goods in his head, and he couldn't go with himself. If you want to know more details, you have to go and interrogate the captives directly.

"I am the Emperor of the East who once bombarded the church of Renaya and baptized the Knights in blood, and which of you can understand Latin?" There were seventeen prisoners, four or five of whom were wounded, all tied up and kneeling on the deck.

"What about English?" Hong Tao originally wanted to report his name and give these sailors a disadvantage, but unfortunately these people listened to his words, their eyes were full of confusion, and they obviously couldn't understand what they were saying.

"My name is Hank, I save my life......" This time someone finally accosted, a bearded man with bandages around his arm understood Hong Tao's words, and stammered Hong Tao's question in English with a strange accent.

"Hank? Tell me where you come from, and I'll heal you. Although he felt that this person's English level was equivalent to the third grade of primary school at most, and the treatment was said to be life-saving, Hong Tao still tried his best to make his expression look kinder, squatted in front of the bearded man and pointed to his injured arm.

"Copenhagen? Copenhagen! After muttering several times, Hong Tao finally heard a word that he could roughly understand with his tuner's ear, and in order to confirm whether it was this word, Hong Tao tried to retract his tongue back, and tried to imitate German pronunciation as much as possible.

“…… Copenhagen ......" Hank also seemed to understand Hong Tao's pronunciation, and opened his mouth and smiled, revealing a mouthful of black and yellow groove cake teeth.

"Heal their wounds, and feed them. But do not let your guard down, these people are Nordic barbarians, it is better to be chained. Hong Tao probably figured out where these people came from, they were Danes, no wonder they looked at this costume like a Viking, and if they wore a horned hat on their heads, they would look 100% like it. I don't speak German, let alone Danish, and I've never heard of it. None of the captives could speak Latin or English, and the interrogation could not go any further, so all the answers were to Karlburg and ask Jiang Zhuyi, didn't she claim to be a European bag to inquire.

Now it is time for Fort Karl to change its name, and it is more appropriate to call it Fort Baron Jiang. The new castle on the west side of the bay has been completed, and the Karl castle on the east side of the bay looks like a dirt bun, lying there swarthyly.

After entering the castle, Hong Tao finally believed Friedrich II's words, and Jiang Zhuyi carried half of Europe's wealth in his pocket. Finished, unfinished, gilded, gilded, yang-carved, yin-carved, hollowed-out, stone, wooden, metal, all kinds of sculptures and ornaments are everywhere from the gate, to the corridor to the hall. And the floor is covered with thick Persian carpets, which are still custom-made at first glance, because there are some patterns of Baron's Castle, Lin'an City, and West Lake. The money spent on these decorations, carpets, and furniture alone is estimated to be enough to build another Karl Fort.

"Look, how is it, this is my palace!" In the center of the second floor of the Baron Castle is a hall with eight columns, almost as tall as a badminton hall. On the wall in front of the hall hung a huge portrait of a man, dressed in the uniform of the Royal Navy of the Golden River Empire, wearing a golden crown, with two faint scars on the left side of his face passing through the long, thin eyes, and a hint of sneer at the corners of his mouth.

"You just made me into a statue and put it at the castle gate, and I don't like this too extravagant style! But it's your money, I don't interfere, as long as you don't use public money. This painting did not show his tall and mighty, Hong Tao was not very satisfied, and even reminded Jiang Zhuyi not to go his own way.

"This is a painting by Sai Fei, it took almost two years to finish, should you re-comment on it?" Jiang Zhuyi was not frightened by Hong Tao's words, she had another killer feature.

"I didn't say that this portrait is bad, Sai Fei has obtained my true biography, and in this portrait you can see the perfect combination of Eastern and Western painting art! Moreover, Sai Fei's grasp of the character is very accurate, and his characteristics of perseverance, benevolence, kindness, and handsomeness are vividly expressed. Especially this ecstatic smile, which is the yearning for beautiful things, you can help me think about it, what other words can be used, and then write down this paragraph of mine and give it to Saifei. This is a father's recognition of his son's achievements, he can't be sloppy, his character is too weak and needs recognition! Even if Hong Tao knew that this was Jiang Zhuyi's trick, he had to boast about it with a clear conscience, and he had to pretend to be very knowledgeable. He was afraid that this woman would hide Saifei and park nearby, she would definitely be able to do this kind of thing.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee...... I just like the way you look at everything. Jiang Zhuyi and Hong Tao smelled like each other, not only did they not despise Hong Tao's boastful behavior, but they also leaned up with confused eyes, looking very intoxicated.

“…… Without further aside, I would like to ask you another thing, have you ever heard of the name Flanders Hanseatic? "How Jiang Zhuyi fooled Sai Fei, Hong Tao didn't want to ask. That kid not only doesn't look like himself, but his personality is not like either, and his IQ has not inherited his own, if Jiang Zhuyi wants to fool him, there are at least dozens of ways. Not only Saifei, but it is estimated that Senya was also fooled by this woman.

"I've heard that they are a bunch of profiteers, more hated than the Venetians! What's the matter, you're going to deal with them? That's great, don't be soft! But it's better not to kill them all, and get them back for me, I need their brains, these people are very good at business. The name Hong Tao said didn't surprise Jiang Zhuyi too much, she seemed to have known this name for a long time, and she still had hatred.

"Tell me what they are and how they provoked you." Since Jiang Zhuyi knew the name, Hong Tao was relieved, so he simply found a chair to sit down, picked up the wine bottle on the table and made himself a glass first, then lit a cigar, and listened to the story slowly.
