"Getting close to them, taking such a big risk to help them, no benefit can be justified!" Shen Yue was curious about how fast the Spanish galleon's guns fired.

I want to go up and see the design of the ship, and then I will integrate it into the renovated 2,000-material ironclad warship.

In the distance, next to the Spanish galleon, two small boats were lowered, and the Franco-Rang began to catch the overboard pirates, and the lightly injured or uninjured were pulled up from the water and tied up and thrown into the cabin, and those who were injured or seriously injured were directly stabbed to death with a sword.

"Young master, Francois is so cruel, let's just watch it?" Shen Qi gritted his teeth as he watched from the side.

Killing prisoners is really inhumane.

Shen Yue gritted his teeth and looked at all this that Franc did without speaking.

Feeling that there were eyes staring at him, he looked at Yang Shan and Xu Duofu, and the two were looking at him. In his eyes, Shen Yue could see a hint of relaxation, they had the same idea as themselves - never suffer in the future.

A small kayak was lowered from the Frense, and the bearded Thomas and Sir Kent disregarded the dissuasion of his first mate and others, and got into the kayak themselves, and several elite men acted as sailors paddling oars towards Shen Yue's side.

When the people on the boat saw the kayak coming, not only the archers nervously bent their bows and arrows, but even the musketeers aimed their guns at the people of the small kayak, and the guns on the ship were also filled with propellants, and the range of the Frens, the Hongyi cannon and the Fran cannon could be reached by half, which had been lowered by half the sails hundreds of meters away.

The muzzle on the side of the Frense was also aimed at the ship, which was unidentified but saved their ship.

"My lord, they want to get on board!" Shen Yue secretly observed the bearded middle-aged Caucasian man in the middle of the kayak from the terrace, and then was attracted by the middle-aged man who was dressed like the European medieval aristocrat on TV.

The subordinates reported that Francois wanted to get on board.

"Ask them for purpose!" Shen Yue was about to speak, and Yang Shan gave an order.

"My lord, you must be cautious when sailing on the sea, if they are the dead soldiers sent by the other party, they will set ......fire to the ship," Yang Shan then explained to the puzzled Shen Yue.

Shen Yue still didn't understand, but nodded, and immediately thought about the fierceness of the military attache under Zheng Zhilong who was shot to death by his shitty luck before, but he also admired Yang Shan's caution.

"Dear Sir, we are representatives of the Frenth, and thank you for reaching out in our most critical moments...... "Sir Kent said with a sincere face to those who would not let them aboard.

Next to him was a young man with short hair, a half-race who translated in broken Chinese.

Shen Yue also heard the translator's words and could barely understand them.

He might be able to say a few words when he saw the British, but he couldn't do anything when he saw Franco.

"No thanks, we didn't do anything." Yang Shan replied.

Shen Yue was dissatisfied, "I want to thank you, please use gold to represent your sincerity!" ”

After hearing the words of the people on the boat, Kent couldn't help but look at the blushing Thomas, and when he saw Thomas's expression, he knew that Thomas didn't expect it, and immediately pointed to the two boxes in the middle of the cabin and said, "Dear gentlemen, in order to express our gratitude, we have specially sent two boxes of silver to express our sincerity!" ”

The people of the Ming Dynasty like silver, so they prepare silver too.

What's more, it was also a business for Europeans to exchange silver mined in the Americas for gold with the Ming Empire.

"Let them give gold, not silver!" Yang Shan saw that there were two boxes of silver in the kayak, the silver was shining, and he was about to let someone lift the silver up, Shen Yue said.

"My lord, isn't it a little ...... to do this" Xu Duofu frowned, "We didn't help them anything." ”

"If we hadn't followed suit, do you think they'd have been able to get there?" Shen Yue asked rhetorically, "How can the brothers take such a big risk, how can they do it in vain?" ”

Shen Yue from later generations, the attraction of gold is far greater than that of silver.

There is no such courtesy, righteousness and shame as the literati of this world.

"My lord said that if you want to thank us for your help, two boxes of gold will be fine!" Yang Shan spoke while measuring how much silver the two boxes of gold were worth.

The reaction of the people on board exceeded the expectations of Captain Thomas and Sir Kent.

With their understanding of the people of the Ming Empire, they are either greedy and boundless, like Zheng Zhilong, and grab them all; Either they are self-proclaimed righteous gentlemen, who clearly want to, but disdain them in their mouths.

They like to deal with the latter.

The people in front of them asked for gold directly, so that they didn't know how to deal with it.

"Thomas, what should I do?" Sir Kent asked Captain Thomas worriedly.

Captain Thomas knew the people of the Ming Empire better.

"Sir, the Fluence is scarred and will sink in a storm. The sea areas of the Ming Empire are all controlled by Zheng Zhilong, and there are very few official people who dare to trade with us or help us, except for pirates. This ship belongs to the Ming Empire...... "Thomas whispered.

They need a port to repair ships; Supplies were also needed, and the crew needed to go to land to rest.

What is more desirable is a fixed trade partner for non-pirates.

From Java Island to the Ming Empire, after hardships, they broke through the obstacles of the Dutch and Zheng Zhilong's forces, and finally arrived here and met the official warship that was willing to help them.

"Two chests of gold?" Sir Kent asked painfully.

"You have to meet with their commanders, preferably their superiors......" Thomas said.

Sir Kent knew that when he set sail, a new warship had just been built, and for most of the year, this Spanish most advanced warship had already been war-torn and was about to fall apart at any time.

"My lord, they agreed to give two chests of gold, but they asked for it until they saw you." Shen Yue also heard Thomas's words.

"Let them give two boxes of silver as a greeting gift!" Shen Yue licked his lips, don't want the money sent to the door, God will not be able to look at it.

The men on board demanded that the silver be hoisted before they could be allowed on board, but Thomas and Kent disagreed.

Shen Yue disagreed, if he didn't get the silver first, he didn't allow them to get on the boat, and he didn't see them.

In desperation, Thomas could only give the silver first.

Shen Yue saw two large boxes of silver, not ingots, but square silver ingots, he didn't count this thing, Yang Shan estimated it, there were actually as many as three thousand taels!

"Two chests of gold, three thousand taels, right?" Shen Yue imagined two boxes of gold in front of him, and then shook his head again, "No, the density of gold is almost twice that of silver, how can there be six thousand taels of gold in two boxes!" ”

Shen Yue decided that no matter what these people wanted to talk about, they had to get six thousand taels of gold before talking.

"Dear sir, I'm Thomas, the captain of the Frenth, and this is Sir Kent......" After Thomas got on the ship, he saw that the people on the ship were disheveled, uniformly equipped, and had the courage of a Ming force, and the commander was a teenager, and he couldn't help but be disappointed.

"Are you Spanish or Portuguese?" The first words that Shen Yue said made Sir Kent and Thomas stunned.
