3013 Father and son of the pirates of the East China Sea
Golden Hair Tig Sparrow (teague_sparrow) finished the service and walked out of the church, stunned on the side of the road, wondering where to go next. Kyushu is heavily influenced by the West, and there are many Catholics, and of course there are churches.
The first remuneration promised to him by the Liaoning Navy of the Ming Kingdom has already arrived, a full 100 taels of gold, which is converted into 16 Spanish marks (3706.88 grams), which is definitely a huge amount of money. I've worked hard for so many years, and I've never gotten that much money. When the next two honorarities arrived, he would be a rich man. But if you are alone, what's the use of having money? If only Hanako and Xiaojie were still alive and the family lived happily together.
Tig Sparrow was a native of San Juan, Spain, and his family was very poor, and "rich" was a fantasy for their family, which was a matter for the old men and seafarers. Tig is the eldest in the family, but there are quite a few younger siblings in the family, and he worked as a small worker in the port to make money at a young age. On his sixteenth birthday, Teague enlisted as a seafarer without telling his mother. He handed over the settling-in fee to his mother, and left without looking back, followed by his mother's hoarse cry.
Teague came to the Philippines with the ship and began his sailing career in Asia, leaving his footprints in the Ming Kingdom, Chao Xian, Dongying, Nanyang, and Tianzhu. The Philippines was a Spanish colony at the time.
The sea is wide and inclusive, but at the same time full of dangers, storms, reefs, shoals, barbarians are deadly, pirates, sworn enemies Shinrikyo and the Dutch who rob business want both money and life. The precarious life of the day has infected Teague with the common disease of seafarers, and he has to get by with wine and drunkenness. As soon as they docked at the port, they rolled into taverns, kilns, and casinos, either pouring themselves into immortals, or discussing life in depth with women who had lost their footing, or playing with money to stimulate their nerves. After getting the news from his fellow villagers and knowing that his mother was no longer there, Teague was even more indulgent.
Teague will never forget that day, that person, that pair of eyes.
It was in Osaka, and it was a winter evening, and Teague, who had drunk too much, was lying dead on the street. I wasn't drunk yet, I just lay there and didn't want to move.
A girl washes dishes next to the restaurant next to her, with a large pile of dishes, a cold north wind, and biting dishwashing water. The girl was dressed very thinly, with a headscarf wrapped around her head, wide sleeves tied up with a cloth band, her calves bare, and she shivered while carefully scrubbing the dishes. Tigue, who had fallen to the ground, looked at the girl with a sense of familiarity.
I don't know how long it took, but the girl finally finished washing the dishes. The owner of the restaurant checked it, was satisfied, and gave the girl a wooden plate. Teague could see that it was leftovers from the restaurant. The girl took the wooden plate and said vigorously, "a_li_ga_do!" a_li_ga_do......" Teague knew that it meant "thank you" in the Toei language.
The girl took off her headscarf, wrapped the wooden plate into a bag, picked it up and left, and the god Tig sent the ghost to follow. The girl walked all the way to the very edge of the castle town and into a dilapidated courtyard with a half-collapsed grass house. Seeing the girl come in, the people in the house greeted her, and it was a few very small children. When the children saw the girl coming back with food, they cheered around her, singing and dancing. Teague seemed to see that the girl's big eyes were full of happiness. Teague now understands that his familiar feeling is that he saw the self many years ago, working hard to make money for his family and younger brothers and sisters.
Castle Town is a city centered on the castle in ancient Toei. In the Middle Ages, settlements and towns (markets) were established around the lord's residence, called Horinouchi, Nehut, and Yamashita. In modern times, it was commonly referred to as a castle town.
For the next few days, Teague followed the girl and peeked in. Until one day, the girl turned around and asked him why he was following her. The girl had long found out that Tig was following her, and she had always been afraid in her heart, compared to the height of the Dongying girl, Tig was like a hill. After a few days, seeing that Tig had no malicious intent, he had the courage to ask.
Teague can't remember what it was, but he remembers stammering and proposing to the girl in Toei at the end. I don't remember why the girl agreed, and I don't even know the girl's name.
The girl's name is Hanako, and she is also the eldest in the family, and the children are her younger siblings. My father was taken to fight as a soldier and never returned. Her mother took Hanako to work in a shop on the pier to earn a living. One day, a certain drunken samurai thinks Hanako's mother is disrespectful, and with a wave of the sword, Hanako becomes an orphan. Hanako is very persistent, she does not sell her body, only her labor. Later, Hanako said that in fact, she agreed to marry Teague because she thought that marriage was not selling her body, and after getting married, she would have money to support her family.
Teague, who married Hanako, felt that he had become the happiest person in the world, and he paid for the restoration of the house, furniture and clothes, and the family was very happy. Teague has a purpose for his work, and he no longer spends money indiscriminately, and gives all the money for the running boat to Hanako to save. Later, Hanako gave birth to a son named Jack Sparrow (jack_sparrow), the Spanish nickname Jackie, and the nickname Matsunfukumaru.
As the child grows up, the situation is getting more and more chaotic, and there are wars everywhere. Although Ishiyama Honganji is powerful, Teague plans to move to Manila with his family, just in case, after all, it is Spanish territory. Teague found a house in Manila and headed back to Osaka to take his family with him.
Back in Osaka, only a pile of ruins remains. Teague's fears came true, and Ichijomune still failed to hold Osaka, and Honganji Temple was burned down by the fools of Owari (in 1578, Oda Nobunaga burned down Ishiyama Honganji Temple, which had been fighting against him. Hanako and Xiaojie are gone. If Xiaojie was still here, he would be nineteen years old.
Teague loses his soul and returns to the way he used to be, getting by. Until one day, the priest of the trench mirror asked him if he would like to go to the northeast of the Ming Kingdom to serve the local government of the Ming Kingdom, the navy of Liaoning, and Tige, who did not care, agreed.
Teague shook his head vigorously, no longer remembering. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to take a good shower first and then eat something.
Nagasaki is now in a state of extraordinary prosperity, where the allied fleet of the Toei is stationed, and a large number of allied soldiers who have grabbed pockets in Toei are lavish in spending. There are all kinds of service facilities, such as taverns, restaurants, baths, and brothels, so as long as you have money, you can enjoy it as much as you want.
At the door of a bathroom, Teague met a young Ming ** official, a little short, who seemed to be of Dongying descent. The army of Liaoning in the Ming Kingdom is very strange, there are several ethnic groups, Han Chinese, Jurchens, Chao Xian people, Dongying people, Mongols, and now they also add their own white Europeans, which is really a rabble.
The young officer watched him until his bare ass went into the bath, still watching. Tige was about to scold, but the officer spoke first: "Hello, Jiaoxi (Tige's position is to teach and learn from the sailor, and I used to wear Liaoning's military uniform), my name is Jin Jiro, I am from the Jianrui Battalion, I have just been seconded from Mongolia, please give me more advice." ”
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, everyone talked to him politely, or temporarily suppressed the anger: "Hello." May I ask why you keep looking at me? That's rude! "I'm sorry, but you're too similar to someone I know, that's why I've been looking at you, I'm sorry! Offended, if I'm not mistaken, do you have a black hemorrhoid on your left buttocks? ”
"You're rude, but I do have such a hemorrhoid, so what?" "I'm so sorry, that's my brother Taro, you look very similar to my brother, he also has such a hemorrhoid!"
"Oh! O my God! ……”
