Chapter 66: One Ring and One Ring
"Captain, what about these people?" René asked the captives with his mouth, "Now that the field of vision is unknown, we have the advantage, and if we allow these people to be here, what will we do after dawn?" ”
"You idiot, we're pirates, and you're asking me what to do with the captives?" Murong Tao suddenly roared loudly, René was only stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, and looked at the Spanish captives with cruel eyes, "Brothers, be quick, when we return to St. Peter's Port in Guernsey smoothly, Mr. Drake will reward us well!" ”
René screamed just right, and the rest of the sailors echoed, but if anyone deliberately paid attention to it, they would feel that something was wrong, but now that people are swordsmen and fish and I am fish, the Spanish captives are completely stunned, and they are wailing vigorously, and even the three naval officers only express their anger with the anger on their faces.

One after another, the sailors who were knocked unconscious were wrapped together by various fishing nets and fabrics that could be found on the boat, and then they were carried into the endless sea by Popoca and others, and those people may temporarily wake up and struggle desperately when they encounter the cold seawater, but this is not a personal act, and Murong Tao also instructed the sailors to add some cannonballs to the materials that wrapped these captives, these heavy things are comparable to stones, and those captives just popped up and sank into the sea entirely, Nothing was seen except a large number of blisters bubbling up.
Murong Tao didn't let people cut wounds on the bodies of those captives, on the one hand, he considered that it was easier for the prisoners in a coma, and on the other hand, if he attracted a large number of sharks, he would be a little implicated in his own actions in the future.
It is impossible to lose people from such a high deck without a sound, and another sailor on the slave ship over there sent an inquiry, and Popoca took a few of his men to deal with it, "Those unlucky people who lost money have collectively jumped into the sea, this is the punishment that was promised before, there is no after-show on the ship at night, and they are all faded out of the birds!" ”
There are people on the slave ship over there who are scolding, presumably the captain of the slave ship, although he is a little annoyed that these navies are irresponsible, but there is no way, this time it can be said that the relationship between the military and the two frigates were sent to escort all the way to this area, and even the British Royal Navy on Guernsey did not intervene, which is a great luck in misfortune, and when this matter is completed, then find the relationship of the military department to complain.
Those three naval officers were deliberately left behind by Murong Tao, if it was just to let a few inconsequential naval soldiers go back, it might not explain anything, but these officers are different, maybe they can climb into the ranks of officers at such a young age, it is a matter of family background, anyway, these people are much more useful to return to Spain than a few sailors, anyway, Spain and England can be regarded as a feud, one more time is not more, less is not less, as long as Guernsey can fight, France can benefit from the fisherman, right? Even if Richelieu, who has the power of the army in the end, can't help but make a move, just such a grinding of meat on both sides will hurt his muscles and bones, right?
Popoca and the sailors who came from the merchant ship were left on the ship, and as for Murong Tao and Rene, they had already taken Serra's six guards and some nimble guys, and slowly climbed down the rope that had been placed on the right side of the ship to attract the attention of the slave ship just now.
As long as the slave ship can be taken silently, the rest of the matter will be easily solved.
Just when Murong Tao was about to reach the deck of the slave ship first, a sailor suddenly came out of the darkness, walked to the side of the ship near the frigate on the left, and after a while, he took out something, and then heard the sound of water droplets from the slave ship.
Damn bastard, he actually ran out to pee at this time, Murong Tao scolded angrily in his heart, but he had no choice but to grab the rope like this and hang it on this person's head more than ten meters, fortunately, now that the wind direction has changed, otherwise it may really be exposed.
There seemed to be someone shouting in the cabin of the slave ship, the sailor who came out to pee scolded angrily, shook his body vigorously, and turned his head back, when he was about to return to the cabin, he suddenly felt a pressure from top to bottom, so he looked up inexplicably, and just had a brief eye contact with Murong Tao, just at the moment when he was about to issue a warning, Murong Tao directly let go of the rope, jumped straight onto the neck of this person, and put his knee on the top of this person's jaw, and the man fell backwards without saying a word. Murong Tao hurriedly landed on the ground, grabbed the man's collar, and put him on the ground smoothly, which was really relieved.
René and the rest of the people on the rope couldn't help but wipe a handful of sweat, the scene just now was too thrilling, if they were really shouted out by the other party, they would be like live targets in the air.
Murong Tao beckoned to René and them, which means that this side is safe, Rene and the others went down to the deck one by one like monkeys, and among the people who came this time was a sailor who knew a little Spanish, who had worked on a Spanish merchant ship before, and it was brought by René this time, which was more reliable.
"What the hell is that idiot howling over there?" Murong Tao pulled over the sailor who knew a little Spanish and asked.
"He said it quickly, which basically means that maybe they had noticed the anomaly on the frigate and were going to wait until after dawn to send someone to report the news to another frigate, and the person who spoke regretted a little why he didn't follow the advice of the captain of the frigate and put the three ships together as he did at the beginning, just because the captain of this ship was a descendant of his old friend in the military or something." Although the sailor's Spanish is a second knife, he is still much stronger than Murong Tao, a beginner, although Popoca and the others speak good Spanish, but they are not yet able to communicate.
Murong Tao patted the man approvingly on the shoulder, signaling him to lean back, and then began to raid the slave ship sailors in the cabin, there was not much resistance on the slave ship, it may be that the behind-the-scenes boss of this slave group intends to transport more slaves at a time and make more money, so the slaves occupy almost ninety percent of the space of the entire ship, and the overseers who are responsible for guarding the slaves add up to only 20 people, but there are 7 people in the captain's room, plus dozens of sailors on the deck who are responsible for patrolling, The total number of Portuguese sailors on board is roughly estimated to be no more than 50.
The imprisoned slaves instinctively rioted when they saw someone raiding the slave ship, but soon the six Serra guards shouted at the slaves in a dialect or something, and the slaves fell silent. Anyway, these six people and Murong Tao can't communicate normally, but some basic sign language can still be understood. Murong Tao asked them to bring these slaves together and transfer them all to the frigate.
There were already sailors who climbed up along the ropes that had been lowered and informed the colleagues on the frigate of the progress here, and a brand new rope was thrown from it, and then under the leadership of the six black men, a large number of slaves began to pull the ropes up to the frigate, René finally told Murong Tao a considerable number to know, but he didn't expect that such a slave ship would transport as many as 560 slaves.
"It's really enough, but with the appearance of more than 50 people, they actually control more than 10 times the number of slaves!" Murong Tao muttered.
"There is still a lack of leadership and the supply of weapons." René shook his head, he personally disapproved of the slave trade, and of course he did not stop it, it was all an official matter, and it was harmless to them as ordinary people.
"What is the maximum number of people that merchant ship can carry?" Murong Tao then asked Rene.
"If you remove everything that can be disassembled, you can only transport 300 people, so you have to make at least two round trips." René held his chin and said, "If you dispatch ships from a nearby port now, it will not be easy, and your whereabouts may be exposed." ”
"Find a reliable cronie, sail the merchant ship to the port of Cherbourg first, and when you arrive, take the person directly to the manor, and if anyone asks, say that the Duke acquiesces." Murong Tao touched his nose and said, "Everything is left to Angelina in the manor to manage, of course, remember to send three black guards to go together, and when everything is arranged, let people go to the port of Bavrell to drive our ship back to the port of Cherbourg, and let Serra and the imam handle it themselves." ”
The dozen or so sailors who followed René to join the caravan this time were all trained by him, absolutely reliable, and most of them had experience in piloting ships.
"And what about this ship?" René looked at the high-capacity transport ship and said with hot eyes.
"Don't worry, this ship is too sensitive, it must be destroyed!" Murong Tao patted Rene's shoulder and said, "There will be many opportunities in the future, how about letting them count the situation just now?" ”
"Hmm, a total of 30 barrels of fire oil have been counted, what do you want so much fire oil for?" René looked at Murong Tao with some puzzlement, "If you put all the oil on this ship, then what should the personnel on this frigate do in case of danger?" ”
"In danger? Even if it is not us who is in danger, just follow what I said, move all the oil drums on the frigate, and it will not be long before dawn. Murong Tao told him his plan, in fact, it was very simple, that is, let a skilled sailor put a large amount of gunpowder and cannonballs on the slave ship soaked with fire oil in a full sail state, and wait until the sky was just light, when the sailors on the frigate that was far away were still confused, slowly lean over, light the oil and then quickly get on the sampan and leave or swim away directly.
