Chapter 643: Really Good People
Celicia's face turned pale as paper, she looked at Wu Huai'an and said angrily, "You are talking nonsense! My father was against the slave trade! I don't believe it, I don't believe it! ”
Duan Fei smiled: "It's actually very simple to prove this, Garcia, you tell Miss Celicia, who is in charge of the slave trade?" With your ability, it is impossible to hide people's eyes, and even Miss Celicia does not know what you have done......"
Garcia sneered: "Miss Celicia, don't listen to their nonsense, I'll explain it to you later, Cardoso, tie them all up and lock them up in the cabin!" ”
Celicia shouted, "You dare! Cardoso, and everyone else, I command you to lay down your arms, not to resist needlessly, and to surrender to the Great Ming Chincha! ”
The surrounding sailors let out a strange laugh, Garcia tilted his head in displeasure, and a sailor standing behind Celicia slashed at the back of Celicia's neck with a palm, Duan Fei raised his hand and shouted: "Do it!" ”
The sailor behind Celicia covered his hands and cried out in pain, Garcia was about to pull the trigger, when suddenly he felt a pain in his wrist, the arquebus had been snatched away, and then he was stunned, Lord Chincha actually held the arquebus and pressed the muzzle of the gun to his neck.
Duan Fei's subordinates also moved at the same time, and the sailors on the deck were all knocked down in a blink of an eye, and the sailors in other places saw that the boss was restrained, these orientals were simply not human, they were even more terrifying than wizards, and they didn't dare to move anymore when they saw this.
Duan Fei smiled at Celicia and said, "Miss Celicia, please forgive us for being rude, there is obviously something wrong with these ships, we must search carefully." ”
Celicia walked up and kicked Garcia fiercely, Garcia instantly rolled his eyes and fainted, and he couldn't even scream, Celicia said angrily: "Check, check hard, I also want to see with my own eyes, what is the legendary slave trade all about!" ”
The five Franc ships were ordered by Celicia to line up, under the leadership of Duan Fei and Celicia, everyone searched one by one, there was no problem with the flagship, and there was no problem with the ship that Garcia picked, but when they stepped on the third ship, everyone immediately felt different, as soon as they opened the cabin, a pungent stench came out, Celicia held her breath and looked into the cabin, and suddenly turned her head and threw up on the side of the ship.
The situation in the cabin was unsightly, it was simply crowded with people, there was no room to move, and there was no way to deal with urine and urine, and not long after leaving the port, the ship was already filthy like this, and I wonder how many people would survive when they sailed to Sri Lanka or Africa or even to Europe.
Duan Fei also had a feeling of nausea in his stomach, but he couldn't help it, he shouted into the cabin: "This official is Duan Fei sent by the land reform of the five provinces, you are saved, now please help each other to walk on the deck, don't worry, come one by one, this official will send each of you home safely!" ”
"Wow...... Are we saved? Is this true? A little girl started crying first, and there was a sudden cry in the cabin, Duan Fei calmed down a little with a lion's roar, and many able-bodied people began to support the people around them and slowly left the cabin.
The scene was even more indignant, these captured slaves were in rags, and even had only some fig leafs hanging on their bodies, some of them were scarred, and even had maggots thickened, Duan Fei arranged for them to transfer to other ships, and on the other hand, let Lingyu and others heal them, and ordered two transport ships to come over, and the food, medicine, and military medical officers on board were also called in to treat the patients.
Seeing that the slaves of this ship had been rescued and the deck was filled with wounded people, Uhuaian angrily ordered the soldiers to tie up all the Franc Men and stuff them into the hold of the ship where they were to hold the slaves, so that they could also enjoy this inhuman treatment.
When Celicia saw this scene, she only frowned slightly, and only the Chinese believe that repaying grievances with virtue is the mainstream of this era.
Everyone was busy for a long time, rescued three ships of Ming people, calculated the total number of people to report to Duan Fei, they rescued a total of 3,842 slaves who were about to be transported to Manchuga, the average of these three cargo ships in the cabin of each was stuffed with 1,300 people, just a squeeze word is not enough to describe the cruelty, seeing these, people with a little conscience can't help but cry.
"It definitely has nothing to do with my father, Garcia must have done it without telling my father." Garcia was discerning in pain, in fact she didn't believe her own words, she remembered how nervous she had been by the Han Chinese teacher she had asked her father to invite to teach her Chinese, and how numb the eyes of the plantation workers were when she visited her father's plantation in Sri Lanka...... Are they all slaves...... Are they all slaves that her father captured from the Ming Dynasty and from all over the world?
Hearing Celicia's weak clarification, Duan Fei asked rhetorically, "Miss Celicia, now you should understand that it is important for us to take back Tuen Mun, right?" ”
Celicia nodded blankly, and Duan Fei said: "It's not early today, this official is going to anchor near Qiongzhou Mansion to rest overnight, and then set off for Tuen Mun Island tomorrow morning, Miss Celicia, please return to your cabin and have a good rest, you don't have to worry about these things." ”
After Celicia was sent away by Murong Xiang, Lingyu said, "Senior brother-in-law, don't you feel ashamed when you see the scene in front of you?" ”
Duan Fei was already in a bad mood, but when he heard Lingyu's words, he let out a sigh and asked, "Why should I feel guilty?" He just rescued more than 3,000 people, and the official is happy now. ”
Lingyu lowered his head and sighed softly, "Maybe I shouldn't have said it, but ...... Senior brother-in-law, please don't be angry, I hope you are a really good person, can you think about it again, those Japanese who were sent to Beigang and you secretly asked Haizi to buy slaves from the Francophiles......"
Duan Fei glanced at Lingyu and said, "You still know a lot of things, but why don't you know that Beigang is now called Paradise Island, and the people on it, whether they are aborigines or merchants, and even the Japanese who were sent to work, are now living better than before, why do the Japanese want to be Japanese pirates?" That's because they can't survive in Japan, and it's too easy to plunder the coast of the Ming Dynasty, which has caused a situation where the coastal pirates are rampant, and the official sent them to Paradise Island to work to atone for their sins, better than frying them all, right? ”
Lingyu didn't say anything, and Duan Fei continued: "As for Haizi and Franco's purchase of slaves, the official really doesn't know, but even if he really buys it, the official also supports it, why?" Those slaves fell into the hands of Haizi, and their fate was at least 10,000 times better than being sent to the plantation of Count Kavnanbel, this is something that this official can be sure of, I don't believe you can verify it yourself. ”
