When he was taken off by a group of Portuguese soldiers like a grandfather, put on new clothes, and respectfully sent to a clean house to rest and eat, Yan Sihai was still like a dream.

Gradually, more people were sent to the room. Yan Sihai burst into tears when he saw the familiar and haggard faces. These are more than a dozen companions who were once sold as slaves by the Dutch red hairs, and there were dozens of people at the beginning, but after a year of dark hard labor, they died so little.

Just as Yan Sihai and the others were hungry and swallowing wildly, a Portuguese official walked in, and everyone who was eating stopped stuffing food into their mouths for a while, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to take a mouthful.

The Portuguese official glanced around the room at the Oriental slave and muttered a few incoherent words before retreating to the door, where a young man in strange clothes pushed a wheelchair with a Tessie woman in it.

He was dressed in a straight coat and trousers that he had never seen before, tall and straight, his eyes were bright, and he even had a strange smile on the corner of his mouth. Yan Sihai's gaze never left this person's body from the moment the young man entered the door. He was shocked to find that in addition to a strange Tessie costume, the other party looked like a Han person.

"I am very satisfied with the efficiency of your government, and I apologize for the rude remarks made to His Excellency the Sheriff in the suburbs this morning, when I could not control the ......."

Yan Xiaosong nodded slightly at the Portuguese officials waiting outside the door, and after receiving an embarrassed smile, the door was slammed shut by Yan Xiaosong.

"Everyone, please keep eating, and we'll talk later."

Yan Xiaosong looked around at the man with the eastern face in the room, thought about it, and used the hometown dialect of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which had been rarely used for a long time, hoping that the other party could understand.

More than a dozen men looked at each other, and then they all looked at Yan Sihai, and this scene was keenly captured by Yan Xiaosong.

"Who are you? What do you want us to do? ”

Yan Sihai put down the food in his hand and quietly looked at the smiling young man in front of him, and then his eyes fell on the woman sitting in a wheelchair in front of the young man. In my heart, I gradually positioned the other party as those Chinese interpreters who did things for the Taixi people.

The accent seems to be a dialect in Fujian, and Yan Xiaosong, who has been walking south to north for a long time, may not be able to understand it at once, but the basic meaning is still relatively clear.

"When I saw you this morning, I was also shocked, and I was worried about whether it would be Japanese or Korean...... Well, now don't worry, everyone is safe. ”

Yan Xiaosong smiled and pointed at himself, and then gently patted Katarina's shoulders, "My surname is Yan, and the rewards and punishments are strict, this is my ...... Fiancée, Miss Katarina. ”

After getting along for a few months, Katarina, who already knew a little Chinese, turned her head slowly, and a small hand tightly grabbed Yan Xiaosong's fingers on her shoulder, her eyes flashing with excitement.

"Fortunately...... In Xia Yan Sihai, a native of Funing Prefecture, Fujian...... Today, I am rescued by Brother Yan's great kindness, and my brothers are deeply grateful and will repay this kindness in the future! ”

After speaking, his body paused, and he fell to the ground with one leg, and more than a dozen men also knelt down one after another, each with their heads bowed.

Yan Sihai? How does it look familiar...... Yan Xiaosong didn't have the action of shaking the tiger's body and then stepping forward to help a strong man one by one like in the stall novel, but looked at the man who bowed his head in front of him in a little surprise.

"Uh...... It's just a matter of raising your hands...... Who are you? Yan Xiaosong finally found a possible reliable historical name in his mind.

Yan Sihai and everyone had just stood up, as soon as he heard the name, his face was flushed with a red tide, his eyes began to shine, and he said in a trembling voice in excitement: "Yan Siqi is the brother of the lower clan!" ”

I'm going to go! Actually dug up such a treasure! Yan Sihai is actually the cousin of the pirate king Yan Siqi in the late Ming Dynasty!

"Katarina, I'll arrange for someone to send you back to the mansion to rest first, I'm going to talk to a few friends here......" Yan Xiaosong hurriedly opened the door, called the Portuguese guards, greeted her a few times, and muttered a few words to Caterina in a low and gentle voice.

The room was quiet again, and Yan Xiaosong swept over the Ming Dynasty men present one by one with a playful smile, still catching a trace of fierceness from their weak eyes and emaciated bodies after long-term labor.

"I am the special envoy of the American Republic of China to the Ming Empire." Yan Xiaosong walked to the chair on the side and sat down, stared at Yan Sihai's eyes and said with a smile, "You can understand that my country and I are descendants of the former Song Dynasty who moved overseas after the Battle of Yashan hundreds of years ago. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the men exclaimed, especially Yan Sihai, whose eyes widened like copper bells.

……

……

At night, in a beautiful small building on the side of the Governor's Palace in San Salvar, Yan Xiaosong was concentrating on recording quickly in his diary. Caterina was already a little drowsy with her, but she still insisted on not wanting to take the initiative to leave Yan Xiaosong's room.

"Katarina, we have gained a lot today!" Yan Xiaosong put down the pen and stretched, still looking excited.

"How many of your compatriots?" Caterina smiled and handed over the coffee cup that was already cold in her hand, blinking her eyelashes with a mischievous expression, "I can see that they are not ordinary people, they are crew members who have been at sea for a long time. ”

"Oh? Baby, you're so smart! Yan Xiaosong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly leaned down and nodded on Caterina's forehead, which made the Spanish girl blush.

"On that East Asian sea, there are two of the most powerful captains, or rather, two pirate families! One is called Li Dan, and the other is Yan Siqi......"

Yan Xiaosong tried his best to express the maritime pattern of East Asia in the early 17th century in sentences that the other party could understand, and explained several Ming Dynasty maritime merchants and pirate forces in history.

Li Dan and Yan Siqi were the most famous maritime overlords in the late Ming Dynasty, and they almost monopolized most of the maritime trade from the Ming Dynasty to Japan and even Southeast Asia, and almost all the Ming Dynasty merchant ships sailing on the sea were protected by these two companies.

Li Dan started earlier, and his qualifications are far better than those of several other forces on the sea, and he has established relatively stable communication channels with the Ming court, the Japanese shogunate, the Dutch, the Spaniards, and the Portuguese.

Compared with Li Dan, who secretly funded the Tokugawa shogunate, Yan Siqi was a little too sharp, not only disobeying the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate, but also provocative towards the European forces in Southeast Asia. In a sense, Yan Siqi and the more sophisticated and cunning Li Dan are on the opposite side, and they are more "gangster" in the eyes of the Chinese in Southeast Asia.

In recent years, Li Dan, who has been in the sixtieth year, seems to have a little enlightenment, and began to bleached the family, and his son Li Guozhu took over most of the maritime trade industry, and got along very well with Southeast Asian Europeans such as Spain, the Netherlands and Portugal, and has become like an overseas Chinese wealthy businessman.

The brainless Yan Siqi was strengthening his own power while still secretly competing with the Japanese shogunate, the Spaniards and even the Dutch, and as a result, he was suppressed by many parties, and even some officials of the Ming Dynasty had a tendency to crusade against the "sea reverse Yan Siqi".

Sure enough, one day last year, as one of Yan Siqi's most powerful family leaders, Yan Sihai was invited by a newly rising pirate leader under Li Dan to rob a Spanish merchant fleet that was said to be full of gold and silver.

After guiding Yan Sihai into the battlefield, the little pirate leader turned around and ran, leaving Yan Sihai's fleet at the scene of the naval battle. Yan Sihai and the others were instantly defeated by the European sail warships of the Dutch East India Company, and even Yan Sihai himself became a prisoner. It was sold to Dutch slave traders in East Africa and finally to San Salvador, Brazil.

……

……

"God...... They are so heroic, how shameless those people are! Caterina listened intently, with stars in her eyes, and seemed to be a little rejuvenated to her former sea lieutenant.

"Well, a poor bunch of people, betrayed by their peers." Yan Xiaosong sighed, but there was another meaning in his eyes, "The entire Far East is much more complicated than we imagined, if we want to complete our immigration plan, we must get the support of these forces, otherwise the end will not be much better than Yan Sihai?" ”

"We can ask for the help of the Governor of Manila! There is the Eastern Fleet of the Kingdom of Spain there! Caterina snapped.

I don't know if the beautiful Spanish lieutenant in front of him is too naïve, or if he still has a trace of pride and fantasy in his bones for the Spanish Kingdom Navy, anyway, Yan Xiaosong's smile after hearing this sentence is a little playful.

"Anyway, you have an idea...... When I didn't say. Caterina understood the expression and lowered her head, her voice as weak as a mosquito's moan.

"What a turbulent era, Yan Siqi and Li Dan...... Well, it's time for you to go back to your room and sleep, dear lieutenant. ”

While kissing the already weak and boneless Spanish girl, Yan Xiaosong's mind kept echoing with thoughts that he had never considered before.

……

……

After a week's rest, Yan Xiaosong took the recovered Caterina and prepared to set off again

Gonzalez, the governor of San Salvador, was probably the happiest guy in the farewell crowd. Because Yan Xiaosong, a US congressman and special envoy to the East, has already ordered him a big bowl of reassuring soup.

The U.S. government can import Brazilian sugar, spices from the Oriental entrepot trade, an ore (chromite) that Yan Xiaosong particularly favors, and rubber from a weeping tree that only local Indians use as toys, but only if they are sent by the Portuguese fleet to Angra do Heroísmo in the Azores.

No problem, Brazil has a huge number of Portuguese merchant ships, not to mention that useless and unpleasant glue blocks are available in the entire Bahia region, and they are basically cost-free, and the prices offered by the Yankees are also 20% higher than those of merchants from other countries, and they can make a lot of money after offsetting the freight.

Counting the benefits he could get from it, Gonzalez simply wanted to hug this American congressman who was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye and kiss him a few times.

The Portuguese fleet that left San Salvador was a little larger, and the five armed merchant ships that set out at the time of departure were now nine, which was arranged by Governor González according to the secret letter of the Duke of Bragança, and there were more than a dozen crew members of the Oriental Face in the entourage.

"Brother Yan, if you can get the help of your eldest brother on this trip, the US government will definitely find a way to safeguard your interests in the Daming Sea!"

"The grace of saving lives should be reciprocated by a spring, Brother Yan doesn't have to be polite, I believe that when the eldest brother sees Brother Yan, he will also see it at first sight!"

"Hehe......"
