Chapter 10: The Plague Turmoil

"What?!" When everyone heard this, their expressions all became nervous. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBecause the maritime merchant ships of this era are basically part-time pirates. As long as you find that the other party's strength is weaker than your own, you will look at the money and maliciously rob it.

So when they heard the news that the Dutch had rushed off the ship, everyone immediately tightened their hearts.

Seeing that everyone's faces were not good, the secretary immediately continued: "Uh--according to the soldiers who monitored them, the Dutch rushed off the ship because someone was sick. ”。

"Whew...", the audience burst into a burst of gas. As long as it's not a robbery, then it's fine.

But in the next second, their released hearts tensed again.

I only heard the secretary cautiously add: "It seems to be the plague!" ”。

"Plague?!" , Yang Chong jumped up from his seat and exclaimed. Everyone else was shocked and stood up, unable to sit still any longer.

Although in the 21st century, the plague is a thing of the past. But until then, plague was a terrible disease. Every time the plague hit, it claimed the lives of thousands of people.

The Black Death of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries was caused by the plague. As a result, the population of Europe has plummeted. It is for this reason that there is a large number of faults in the European ruling class. The Renaissance was only then launched!

Once the plague spreads to the Ming Republic, those 3,000 people will not be enough to die! Even if they have been drinking trimeric, cyanide, and amine milk since childhood, and eating vegetables fried in gutter oil, their bodies have developed strong antibodies. But in the face of the plague, it was not enough.

Therefore, Yang Chong didn't have time to care about the mental fluctuations caused by the secretary, and hurried to the beach with the guards.

At this time, the two sides were engaged in a tense confrontation next to the beach.

Just listen: "Sir, as people of the same civilized society, we have the right to go ashore!" First mate Brian indignantly accused.

"But this is the territory of the Ming Republic, and we have sovereignty over it and have the right to refuse," Zhang Yang refused in righteous words, seeing that these Dutchmen did not seem to understand his words, he continued: "And we suspect that you are infected with the plague, so we can't let you come up." ”。 He was Yang Chong's right co-pilot, and could have served as Yang Chong's personal guard like Li Hai. But he prefers to be in the army! In the past, I was forced by my family to have no choice, so I gave up my dream of joining the army. Now that I had the opportunity, I joined the army without saying a word.

Hearing this, these Dutchmen all looked at the Eurasian sailor! It's his big mouth that exposes their purpose as soon as he comes up. At the same time, he looked at the big ship behind him, and a heavy look of horror appeared on his face. It seemed that it was not the big ship they were familiar with, but a man-eating beast.

Captain Charlie glanced at the sailor deeply, and said in an unusually soft tone: "Sir! Then you say, how can we get ashore? ”。

It's just that Zhang Yang shook his head and didn't speak. Charlie saw that he was resolute, and his face showed a deep sense of disappointment.

If it were somewhere else, these Dutchmen would certainly not be so obedient. But here, they have to listen. Because just now, under the leadership of the first mate, they were ready to break through. But immediately there was a row of craters under your feet!

The crisp sound of gunfire was so loud. Looking back on it now, they still feel terrified. Looking at the shotguns in the hands of the Ming people, they had to stand helplessly.

It wasn't until Yang Chong arrived with a group of people that the tension of the confrontation was resolved.

"President! The Dutch are all here, and none of them have left our sight. Zhang Yang introduced.

Yang Chong nodded and praised Zhang Yang for doing a good job. Then the rags were distributed and the soldiers were ordered to cover their mouths and noses.

When these Dutchmen saw this, they were immediately a little puzzled. The Eurasian sailor was even more frightened, and said nervously: "I heard my mother say that in the ancient Eastern Empire, only killers wore turbans. It is said that this is to avoid reprisals! ”。

As soon as his words came out, Yang Chong and the others walked over with everyone. Especially when they saw the soldiers with shotguns approaching, more sailors looked frightened, apparently believing the words of the Eurasian half-blood.

"Even God! Tear Owen's mouth apart, please! Only he would believe that the killer was so stupid to put a veil over in front of so many people! First mate Brian slapped Owen on the head and scolded with disdain.

However, Captain Charlie did not stop the sailors' quarrel. Because his attention was all on the black muzzle, for fear that if the gun went off, he would die.

Until Yang Chong walked up to him and told everyone to lay down their weapons. His heart relaxed a little.

"You're the captain, aren't you? I'm sorry, but because of the risk of the plague, my soldiers were ordered not to let you ashore! All for the safety of the people, please forgive me! ”。

"Understand, understand!" Charlie replied in a friendly manner. Even if he was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to show it. Because when he thought of the black muzzle just now, he was terrified.

Later, under Yang Chong's questioning, Charlie told all the information on their ship. But after talking for a while, Yang Chong still did not reveal the intention of allowing them to go ashore.

So Charlie was ruthless and said, "Your Excellency, if you allow us to go ashore, the cargo on board will be your reward." ”。

As soon as he said this, the eyes of all those present lit up. After all, they are now poor and dead, and the cargo on this cargo ship is a big windfall for them.

Seeing Yang Chong's reaction, the corners of Charlie's mouth curved slightly. Inwardly despised and said, "Stupid yellow-skinned monkey! Those goods are on the ship, even if they are given to you, they will be killed! ”。 Anyway, he doesn't dare to get on the ship now, and those goods are equivalent to nothingness to him.

Nanfeng caught Charlie's reaction and immediately stopped Yang Chong. Then he said his analysis of the merchant ship, and immediately relieved everyone. Oh, yes! There is a plague on this ship, who would dare to take the things on it. These Dutchmen, really dead, fine, bad, bad, bad!

looked at Charlie's gaze, also with obvious unkindness.

"Ugh! Is there something wrong? Charlie said calmly.

Yang Chong smiled and said softly, "No! No problem! As long as you move the goods down! I'll let you go ashore!" ”。

Hearing this, Charlie was no longer calm, and his face showed a panicked paleness. He immediately realized that these yellow-skinned monkeys were very different from the stupid Qing people. Their own careful thinking must not be shown in front of them. Otherwise, it will only lead to greater unhappiness.

At the same time, he was even more convinced that the two white birds on the sea were made by these people. The contempt in my heart also dissipated at this moment.

After that, he mortgaged not only the ship, but also all the people on board, including himself. In order to get the opportunity to go ashore! After all, nothing is more important than life compared to the terrible plague.

And this, he still grinded hard, begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, and said a lot of good things to make Yang Chong's tone loosen. In the end, I almost knelt down and shouted my ancestors!

In fact, Yang Chong was indeed reluctant. After all, in their eyes, the ship and the people on board are no longer of use. Even if they used the ship as firewood and the man as slaves, they felt that it was very dangerous.

If it weren't for the fact that they were in modern society and had the most basic moral values, they would really care about Charlie's life or death.

But then even if they were allowed to go ashore, they were not given freedom! Instead, they were forced to cover their mouths and noses, stay in vacant huts, and avoid contact with people.

At first, there were unruly sailors who resisted, but after being put on the head with a gun, they immediately became honest. Charlie, as a captain, wants to be treated better. But no one paid attention to him, and he was still locked up with all the Dutch.

After all, there are not enough wooden houses in the camp, and everyone is crowded to live, so how can there be extra wooden houses to hold Charlie.

It's night! Several men in white coats and tightly covered bodies got into kayaks and slowly boarded the Dutch merchant ships.

As the head of a multinational pharmaceutical company, Nan Feng also has some knowledge of the plague, so he also followed several doctors and nurses on the ship.

Stepping on the scattered cables, I got out of the cabin. Immediately smell a disgusting sour smell! Several young nurses immediately turned around and climbed back to the deck. In the shadow of the plague, they did not dare to pull down their masks. So I swallowed the vomit and vomit in my throat with great difficulty.

There was no way, at this time, the European merchant ships did not have any awareness of hygiene, and the smell in the cabin was extremely unpleasant.

Seeing this, Nan Feng had no choice but to take a few doctors deep into the cabin. I went to a room on the second basement floor, and the hatch was ajar. According to the captain, the man with the plague slept in it.

Slowly entering the room, I saw a young man lying on a large wooden plank. They cautiously leaned over and probed the young man's breathing, and found that he had not yet lost his breath. I also measured the temperature of the young man with a temperature measurement, and found that he was still having a high fever.

(In order to thank Shen Xingxing for his big recommendation votes, I specially added a new chapter!) )
