Chapter 8 The Spanish Crown's Treasure Fleet
"Your Excellency, I hope you can cooperate with me to perform a sea rescue operation perfectly." Liang Pengfei turned his head and smiled at Captain George, his white teeth shining like jewels in the sun.
"Of course, I just hope that Your Excellency can be as trustworthy as a gentleman." Captain George wiped the sweat from his forehead with some nervousness, he was not afraid of the Spanish warships, but afraid of this young leader who seemed to behave a little grotesquely, this guy looked at him, and reminded himself of a male lion that had been bitten by several strong hounds in succession during a hunting trip in India. "God, I don't have any hatred with these Qing people." Captain George drew the cross in his mind.
The Spanish fleet on the opposite side had already discovered the anomaly on this side, and the sailors on the ship moved quickly, and the Spanish soldiers took up their weapons and poured out of the cabin to the deck in search of cover, the gun emplacement of the sailing ship was opened, and a dark cannon door protruded from the open opening of the gun emplacement, like the fangs of a giant beast in the darkness. The two armed merchant ships behind as escorts quickly approached the treasure ship.
"Young Master, it looks like they've already started to prepare, what should I do?" Lu Yuan walked up to Liang Pengfei and scratched his head under the wig, to be honest, putting on the hat made him feel like a pot lid was buttoned upside down on his head.
"Well, good, it's my turn." Liang Pengfei stretched out his hand and picked up a French flag, stood on the bow of the armed sailing ship that was discovered by the other party, waved it vigorously, and with the other hand he held a big horn made of a copper basin on the ship and said to his mouth: "Help!" ......" fluent in Spanish made him roar like an aria in an opera.
Just as he waved the flag in his hand with a look of joy on his face, Baron Edmund on the Spanish galleon opposite put down the monoculars in his hand and looked curious: "What is that guy holding in his hand?" And he has a face that is exactly the same as those Chinese people on Luzon? ”
"Your Excellency, you must know that the French are now operating along the southern coast of Annam, where there are quite a few Chinese, so it is not surprising that there are a few Chinese mercenaries, you must know that the British have a lot of local mercenaries in India." Lieutenant Colonel Louis, who was next to him, cleverly explained this.
"I like some of the British theatre and art, but I still hate the damn Brits." Baron Edmund's face showed disgust, if it weren't for the British, how could the great Sibaja Empire be in decline, and maybe he could be the governor of a new colony, instead of getting a hard job through his sister as he is now.
"I share your opinion, though the French are also annoying, but the British are the meanest." Lieutenant Commander Louis wished he was the commander of the Armada and used his talents and courage for the glory of Spain, instead of dealing with the treasures of the kings and the ignorant nobles.
"It's a miracle that their warships, my God, can still float on the water, what kind of naval battles did they suffer?" When the naked eye could see the scars on the hull of the French battleship, Baron Edmund couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his face, stared at the eyes full of red silk, and rubbed a lot of white powder on his face, like an old girl who was playing tricks and found that a beggar actually wanted to scoop his overlord chicken.
"They must have been wounded, and they floated down the current, and told the frigate to keep on guard, turn the rudder, and we leaned in and helped the poor French." Although Louis had been the captain of the treasure ship for many years, after all, he was the elite of the Spanish navy, and he quickly gave the right order, and the musketeers on the deck also stood up from behind their bunkers, looking at the French warship that looked like a pile of tattered French warships, and some even pointed leisurely.
"Thank God, it seems that our prayers have worked, and you must be angels sent by God...... On behalf of our esteemed Captain, Sir George Comley, I would like to pay you the highest tribute. Liang Pengfei held the copper horn in his hand and still chattered and patted the asss of these Spaniards.
"Poor Frenchmen, who have always been as proud as a flock of roosters, are now like chicks in a pool." Hearing the sound of the rolling horses' ass in his ears, even Baron Edmund's face couldn't help but be filled with a sense of pride, and even felt that he was a winged birdman, while the remnants of the defeated soldiers on the opposite ship were crying and kissing his instep.
"Dear sir, can you swear that you will release me and my crew as soon as this is over?" Looking at the Spanish galleon that had already come up, Captain George was still a little uneasy.
"Of course, I swear in the name of God." Liang Pengfei raised his hand solemnly and issued a poisonous curse. For Liang Pengfei, swearing is simply a paper to wipe his buttocks, and he will throw it away when he runs out, it really works, he has already entered the oil pot in his previous life and even fried his bones.
Finally, when the two boats met, Liang Pengfei touched the short dagger hidden in the boot, took a deep breath, and the show was finally about to begin. The first stepped onto the board and walked over.
--------------------
Liang Pengfei and Lu Yuan supported Captain George, and Bai Shusheng, who was carrying a musket, and Monk Chen, who was carrying a giant machete on his back, followed behind him, and always followed the guidance of the first mate and walked towards the towering stern.
"Let's go down and welcome our French friends." Baron Edmund's hands touched gracefully, and beside him, his attendant immediately handed over a vanity case, and Baron Edmund carefully looked at his appearance again before walking down the stairs to the deck with satisfaction, Lieutenant Colonel Louis respectfully half a position behind the baron.
"My dear French compatriots, I could not have imagined that I would meet you in this sea, and look at your warships, my God, what terrible misfortune have befallen you?" Baron Edmund stopped when he was still a few steps away from Liang Pengfei and the others, and took out a silk scarf to cover his mouth and nose, and the nasty smell of blood made people almost unable to breathe.
"I'm George Comage, the captain of the Elf, we are the French warship in Annam, because we pursued a group of damned British pirates, and we reached this area, we were already victorious, but we didn't expect that they actually came to reinforcements, we tried our best, and in the end we lost both, fortunately, we finally survived, thank you, my dear Spanish friends." Captain George's Spanish wasn't native, but at least it was understandable to the Spaniards. And when Liang Pengfei and the others were supporting Captain George, trying to get closer to Louis and the others, they were suddenly stopped by those Spanish soldiers, and Liang Pengfei had to stop stupidly.
"This is the honorable Baron Edmund, and I am Lieutenant Commander Louise of the Captain of the Montreal, and I express my deep condolences for your misfortune. Those damned British pirates, indeed, deserve hell. "Lieutenant Colonel Louis agrees with Captain George." I have a question, why are there so many Chinese in your soldiers? ”
"Because we have just been attacked by a barbarian tribe in the Annam region, we have killed and wounded many of our comrades, and in order to maintain our combat effectiveness, we have to select some reliable local personnel to replenish them. The Chinese are smarter and more obedient than those natives. Liang Pengfei had already thought about this for George, so there was no flaw in answering.
