Chapter 128 is broken

Captain of a Spanish armed merchant ship, Ryan Stein. Buwana is worrying at the moment, he is a Corsican, but he grew up in Portugal, because the king of Portugal is concurrently held by the king of Spain, so it can also be said that he is Spanish, in short, he is a super mercenary who is proficient in swordsmanship and muskets, knows navigation, and knows many Chinese.

As a descendant of a down-and-out aristocracy, in the words of the Ming Dynasty, Ryan Stein took on a three-masted armed merchant ship with a dream of making a fortune and went to the East.

The story of this mercenary captain is not told in this book, in short, he is also a European turtle who made a fortune in the East, and returned to Portugal full of gold and spices, and at the same time, with a belly full of oriental legends, after returning to Portugal he managed to marry a noble lady, but unfortunately, the noble lady thought that he was a pig full of inferior taste, and soon hooked up with a horned count......

Once again, the frustrated mercenary embarks on a journey to the East, this time as the captain of three armed merchant ships.

I have to say that man's luck will run out, his three armed merchant ships are stuffed with pigs and more than a thousand black slaves, which he heard when he was in the East, His Majesty Kota Nobunaga, the king of Fuso country, bought a black slave at a price of about 800 ducats worth of gold coins, so I don't want to sell 800 gold coins, I will also sell 500 gold coins.

Unfortunately, along the way, the gold coins were decreasing at a rate of thousands per day, and by the time he arrived in the Philippine Islands, he had lost a lot of money, which made him very irritable, and in the sea near Manila he came across a bottomless sailing ship, according to the global practice of being a merchant when there is a man and a pirate when there is no one, he grabbed a handful, and found that he was in great trouble, the owner of the ship was called Isabella Antripe Francisco, the newly appointed governor of the Philippines, Sister of Lord Marquis Francisco of José Antreep.

Just like the proverb of the Ming Kingdom, the house leak happened to rain overnight, this Miss Isabella forced him to take herself to Chicken Coop Island, it is said that Miss Isabella has a boy who has known since childhood is a pirate on Chicken Coop Island at the moment, he secretly complained, and he had the heart to kill this young lady, but most of his men were the subjects of His Majesty the King of Spain, and let them kill the sister of the Governor General of the Philippines and the Commander of the Governor's District, this joke is not funny at all.

He had to take the young lady to the island of the chicken coop, for which he was still losing more than a thousand ducats a day, and when he arrived at the chicken coop, the young lady went around looking for it, and then received the very sad news that the young man had died, and he could no longer bear such a huge loss, and had to go to the trench near the chicken coop, which was now also the territory of the Portuguese, and he was going to sell the black slaves there.

So, he went to the entrenchment in a hurry, and as a result, he happened to meet the Ming Empire Xiangshan County Commander Zeng Ang Zeng Zizhong with the servants to board the entrenchment Jingao, Xiangshan County Zeng County Zun Da Lama said to these Franc machine people: There are two bastard Franc machine people in the county town prostitution Ji Ji does not give money, you have to hand over the people, otherwise, the court itself will send troops to get people.

The Portuguese leader of the Entrenchment Jingao spoke in the official tone of the Ming Empire, and obediently gave the two idle guys to the wolf-like officials and tied them up, and in order to make the two suffer less, they had to stuff a few silver coins into each of those officials.

All this made the sad Miss Isabella almost lose her eyes in astonishment, and then, to the greater surprise of the Countess, her countryman brought out chests of silver coins and handed them to the officer, who wore the two winged hats, and commanded his men to carry the silver coins and carry the two dejected fellows, and go away on their toes.

Is this still the territory of the great Kingdom of Portugal, didn't His Majesty the Pope, the spokesman of God in the world, say that the eastern hemisphere of the earth belongs to Portugal, and the western hemisphere belongs to Spain, and now His Majesty Philip II is the king of Spain and Portugal, so the whole earth should belong to the United Nations of Portugal and Spain

The truth was sobering, and the young lady soon learned that this vast empire governed vast lands, much larger than Spain and Portugal combined, with hundreds of thousands of troops, their ships larger than Spain's largest sail warships, and their guns more advanced...... Therefore, the Portuguese in Entrenchment were under the administration of this empire, and they had to pay 20,000 silver coins a year, and if the empire needed it, they also had to serve the empire in the army, and of course, the empire would pay the silver very generously. ,

These news made Miss Earl very depressed, and Ryan Stein went to Xiangshan County to negotiate with the old man for the golden gold coin, and the result was that the old man who was originally a little curious saw the black slave, and immediately became furious. Do you think I haven't seen the world, sir?

As the so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, this Zeng Xianzun has been dealing with the Franc machine man for about ten years, and he has been fed with the silver of the Franc machine man, and he also has a good appetite.

However, these don't want it, I bought the high-legged Francophone woman, he pointed at Miss Isabella, frightened Ryanstein, and couldn't help but curse himself in his heart, I am the stupid * Ah actually brought this Miss Earl to the Ming people, isn't it unpleasant

Fortunately, Miss Earl didn't understand the language, and Ryan Stein took a lot of effort to appease Zeng Xianzun, who was almost thunderous, and for this reason, he had a lot of gold coins in his pocket, which made his heart bleed.

There was no way, so he had to coax the count's lady while continuing to tearfully imprison the black slaves and go to Fuso.

When they were at sea, they encountered more than a dozen warships, ten of which were covered with iron leaves, which were clearly ironclad warships.

However, it turned out that he was a false alarm, and the ironclad ships did not pay any attention to them, so he quickly ordered to speed up, pulled up the full sails, and sailed quickly towards Fuso Hirado.

A few days later, when he arrived in Fuso, Reinstein finally breathed a sigh of relief, oh my God, this was simply the most torturous experience of my life, and then, counting the number of black slaves, at this time, there were only one thousand and thirty-eight black slaves left, and dozens of them seemed to be dying, and it was estimated that most of them would not survive.

Ryan Stein hurriedly went to find a suitable buyer first, the nearest ones were naturally the Tachibana family and the Matsuura family, but after he sent someone to inquire, they were not interested at all, he was so anxious that he inquired carefully, and almost vomited blood, his Spanish and Portuguese compatriots had already sold the black slaves to only thirty times, and they had to be beautiful black women, and no one wanted men at all.

Why this happens, this has to be analyzed in combination with Fusang's national conditions, logically speaking, Fusang has been in the Warring States Period for more than a hundred years, you beat me and I beat you all day long, and the population should be consumed in large quantities, just like the Great Qin Wu'an Jun killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers in Baiqi. But the fact is that the population of the Fuso Warring States is not only quite large, but has been increasing, basically, the Fuso peasants get up earlier than chickens, eat rotten than pigs, work more than donkeys, and live cheaper than dogs, just like that, it is strange that they are willing to fight for the daimyo with all their hearts, and the normal situation is that tens of thousands of troops fight, and more than 100 people die, and all the peasants and soldiers are scattered.

Because the place of Fuso is small, and the two daimyo who have been enemies for generations, the distance between the two daimyo is likely to be less than fifty miles, so the peasants and soldiers can easily run home with their weapons, and then do some happy things that can give birth to children, generally speaking, even the women of the noble minister's family have to give birth to five or six children in their lives, not to mention ordinary people, seven or eight can also be born, except for those who are not big, and those who grow up and are recruited by the daimyo lord to fight and die, there are always those who survive.

This led to the strangest Warring States period in the world, with hundreds of years of war and a large population, but even more.

Even if the black slaves were recognized as good slaves on the earth at that time, compared with the Fuso peasants, it is estimated that it is only so in terms of hardship and hard work, do the daimyo need to spend money to buy them? Their brains are not in the water.

The moment he learned the news, Ryanstein almost wanted to jump out of the boat into the sea, you know, this news is tantamount to announcing that he Ryanstein has completely bankrupted and is penniless.

Just as he was looking at the sea and hesitating whether to jump or not, his hand stumbled over, "Captain, we are surrounded, or those warships of the Ming Kingdom." ”

His heart trembled, as an elite mercenary, he subconsciously pulled out the telescope first, and looked at the sea when he came to the front, and sure enough, the ironclad ships lined up on the sea, the gun bays with black holes on it, and the huge battleship headed by him, there seemed to be a young young master of the Ming Kingdom holding a telescope and watching.

"Captain, what should I do?" His men were sweating profusely, you know, after they arrived in Hirado, at least half of the sailors went ashore to have fun, at least a third of them did not return to the ship at this moment, and many came back but were still drunk.

He took the binoculars and looked carefully at the other party's ship, and the young man on the huge battleship seemed to be the leader of this fleet, which he had felt when they met on the surface of the sea two days ago.

"Raise the white flag." Reinstein decided to talk to the young leader himself.
