Chapter 52: Commander of the Spanish Luzon Fleet!

After a short time, Shi Xianggu, who heard Zhang Baozai talking and laughing with his guards, quickly wiped away the tears on her cheeks and turned around. Zhang Baozai quickly ran over and threw himself into Shi Xianggu's arms, looked at it curiously, and didn't find that Liang Pengfei's figure made him feel a little strange, but another thing attracted his attention.

"Godmother, what's wrong with your eyes? It's watery and beautiful. Zhang Baozai's words made Shi Xianggu smile gracefully, and kissed Zhang Baozai, who had extraordinary observation skills. Little thing, godmother, doesn't she miss you? The little boy who misses our family is in tears. ”

Seeing Zhang Baozai's innocent and cute smiling face, my heart couldn't help but warm, and the depression that had accumulated in my heart seemed to have dissipated a lot with tears. In my heart, I remembered the hot gaze of Liang Pengfei when he was questioned, and my heart couldn't help but jump slightly. "Is this guy saying this to comfort me or ......"

Suddenly, the ice on her face seemed to have faded a lot, and the cold and hard lines softened a little, maybe she didn't notice that in addition to the gentleness of the maternal surname between her eyebrows, there was also a trace of pride, the proud charm of being a female surname.

Liang Pengfei, who was hiding in the shadows, saw this scene, and was relieved in his heart, and led the two bodyguards out of the fort with peace of mind. But he was still nervous in his heart, not knowing if his words would make Shi Xianggu feel bad for him, which would really make Young Master Liang regret it.

--------------------

Just when Liang Pengfei, Shi Xianggu and others on King Crab Island were preparing for war in full swing, Nanyang, a huge fleet, was heading north.

"This is our fleet?" Colonel Alfonso, who stood on the tail tower of the flagship and looked at the various warship flags around him, looked contemptuous. The beautiful and straight blue velvet military uniform, the elegant and upright figure, the metal braided flowers on the scabbard of the command knife on the waist exude dazzling brilliance, the handsome face, gray-blue eyes, and the straight nose bridge make him look like the work of the sculptor Roland, and his expression with a mocking smile is like a peacock with the screen open, arrogant and proud.

But he did have reason to be proud, for at the age of thirty-five, he had become a naval admiral, and that he had only one last step left on the admiral's journey, and that he had come to the East to be the commander of the pitifully small Luzon fleet, only for the gilded journey before he had reached that step.

His uncle, the King's Chancellor of the Exchequer, personally promised that if he could stay honestly in the East for two years and rid him of the pirates who threatened the colonies of Luzon, he would be greeted by a beautiful, glittering star when he returned to Spain.

When he arrived at the port of Luzon after a long journey, he learned from the mouth of the governor of Luzon that the Spanish royal treasure fleet had been attacked by a group of British pirates, which made the proud Alfonso feel very angry, and he was angry that he had not arrived here earlier, otherwise those English pirates would have so easily caused the Spanish royal treasure fleet to suffer such heavy losses.

And Baron Edmund, who leaned on his sister's thigh, climbed from an inconspicuous accountant to the Minister of Escort of the Royal Treasure Carrier, was actually embarrassed to give the royal warship to the Orientals who "rescued" them in order to survive.

The paranoid and arrogant Baron Alfonso believed that Baron Edmund must be greedy for life and afraid of death, so he contributed the battleship and the royal treasures on it to those hateful pirates in the East, in exchange for a small life, this shameless and despicable act not only dishonored the reputation of the Spanish Navy, but also did not insult the dignity of the royal family, which was intolerable to the youngest and most senior admiral of the Spanish royal family.

However, the fleet under his command was really pitifully small, except for the three Spanish gunboats that could be handled, the remaining seven or eight were all gunboats or armed merchant ships, and they also had to patrol the port of Luzon and its surroundings. With the strength in his hands, there is no way to conquer those hateful Oriental pirates from afar.

However, worthy of being the elite of the Spanish Navy, the future famous general, Colonel Alfonso soon came up with a brilliant idea, that is, to fight piracy with piracy, he felt that instead of slowly crusading against those pirates who were as annoying as flies, it was better to use the name of the Spanish royal treasure fleet being attacked by the pirates of the East, in order to lure the Western pirates and the pirates of the East to fight, although he lost some money, but it could weaken these two forces that were harmful to the Spanish colonists, an important point, It can also add a strong touch to his battle book.

Therefore, after his strong insistence and demand, the governor of Luzon had to agree to conscript pirates to crusade against the hateful Orientals, and it was also he who made great efforts to promote this large-scale military operation of the Western pirates, for which he paid more than 100,000 taels of silver, but Colonel Alfonso thought it was worthwhile, as long as he could defeat those hateful Oriental pirates and recover the treasure ship, this feat alone was enough to make him win countless praises in the Spanish naval circles, as well as the favor of the royal family.

As for the Baron Edmund, what fate awaited him was not a matter for Colonel Alfonso, who was eager to make a mark, and he believed that his uncle, His Majesty's Chancellor of the Exchequer, would take care of everything for himself, and when he returned to the kingdom, he was afraid that in addition to the shining position of the general, he might even get a coveted hereditary title.

However, these pirate allies still gave Baron Alfonso a headache, just from the departure of the port of Manila to the present, those pirates have plundered several fleets, both Oriental and Western countries, fortunately Alfonso had the foresight to replace the flag of the Kingdom of Spain with a skeleton flag, and the low-key along the way could not be more low-key, otherwise, it must be another headache international dispute.

"I swear to God that after this battle, I will personally send these damned 'allies' to the gallows, so that they can understand what order and law are." Alfonso kissed the silver cross that hung from his chest and tucked it into the placket of his robe.

--------------------

"Colonel, the leader of those pirates has heeded your call and is boarding the ship for the cabin to deliberate." Colonel Alfonso's thoughts were interrupted by a loud report from a Spanish soldier.

"All here?" Alfonso took off his hat, straightened his beautiful sideburns, and put it back on again, nodded majestically to the soldier and asked.

"Pulsatilla Owen didn't come, but his first mate James came, saying that Captain Owen was unwell and needed to rest." The soldier explained.

A hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Alfonso's mouth: "Is it, our English gentleman who is rampant in the Straits of Malacca has always been as strong as a bull, and he is actually unwell?" Alfonso's caustic sarcasm immediately provoked laughter from the Spanish officers around him, as if not laughing out loud was not enough to vent their emotions.

"No, dear Colonel, I think that this gentleman Owen must have thought that he was really lacking in aristocratic temperament, and that he was afraid of losing face in front of us Spaniards, so he simply went into hiding." A major officer gestured gracefully, and his tone seemed so light-hearted, that it immediately provoked a burst of laughter.

The smile on Alfonso's face couldn't help but add a little to it. "Enough jokes, gentlemen. After all, we are on the same side as these pirates now, and we should show them some kindness. ”

"Yes, Mr. Colonel." All the Spanish officers stood up straight and expressed their admiration and loyalty to the Supreme Commander, much to Alfonso's benefit.

In the largest cabin of the flagship, it was crowded with Western pirates of different dresses, hair colors, and languages, who were making loud noises and arguing, and some pirates even poured strong liquor on the one hand, and talked loudly about women at the same time, and the strong smell of inferior tobacco made Colonel Alfonso, who had just entered the cabin, frown his handsome brows, and took out a white handkerchief of oriental silk and covered it in front of his mouth and nose.
