This person's life is a matter of luck. Lucky people can even pick up an ingots when they go to the street, but they can't be lucky, drinking cold water and plugging their teeth are light, and even farting can hit their heels.

Unfortunately, Velasco was one of those people whose fortunes had not yet come, and even if he had traveled thousands of miles to the East, he still could not escape his failed life. Two years after coming to the East, he still belonged to the most unsatisfactory class of Spaniards in the East. Even the sailing ship he regarded as a treasure had reached the point where he had no money to repair it.

It's not that he is not black-hearted enough, he also came to the East with a boatload of black slaves, in the West, there are no longer a few people who make a fortune by selling slaves, but unfortunately this kind of big profit, in front of him, immediately became a loss-making business. Not to mention the death of the black woman on the road, when he arrived in the East, he was dumbfounded, the black slave in the East in addition to the beautiful female black slave can also be sold for a few small dollars, but the male black slave has already been sold by his peers to the price of cabbage, he this trip, even the capital can not be earned.

You know, Velasco was scraping together this bit of money at the beginning, and it was really a source of water. In desperation, he pondered the business he had done at the beginning, but unfortunately, when he learned that one of his compatriots did what he wanted to do in this sea area, he was chased by more than a dozen big ships of the arrogant Oriental pirates until Luzon, and the whole ship was killed cleanly, he wanted to cry without tears!

Nima! This is not allowed to live, how can there be more arrogant pirates in the East than their Spaniards.

I can't go back, but, in this unfamiliar sea, it is really difficult to make a living, fortunately, Spain still has a Philippine governor in this sea, which is also a colony of the Kingdom of Portugal, and he still has a sailboat that looks barely good, and from time to time he can do some small business such as escort transportation, but it has lasted for two years, but today, he is really a little unable to hold on.

When Yu Feng's ship entered the harbor, he was depressed and came out of the captain's room, and he saw the big merchant ship at a glance, and now it was bright when he boarded.

At this time, merchant ships rarely appear alone when they walk on the sea, and most of them form a fleet of several ships and take care of each other. If there is a person who goes to sea alone, then it is not an armed merchant ship that relies on the strength of its own ship, there is only the ship of the Zheng family flying the flag of the sun and the moon, how can Velasco, who has been mixing in this sea area for so long, and can barely cope with even the official dialect and Fusang dialect of the Ming Dynasty, not know this flag, and his compatriots who went to rob ships with such a flag without opening their eyes and then were hunted down to Luzon obviously did not have this kind of vision.

What made Velasco's eyes shine was that this ship did not fly the sun and moon flag, which meant that this ship was not sheltered by the powerful maritime power of the Ming Kingdom, so for Velasco, who was eager to get a sum of money, this was a good potential customer.

He decided to go to the owner of the ship to see if they needed an escort, his sailboat was an armed sailing ship, and there were four cannons in front and rear, so it was no problem to escort such a merchant ship. Of course, if the owner of this ship is not willing to hire himself, there is no problem, for a ship that goes to sea alone without anyone to protect him, he does not mind being a pirate again, as long as the time comes, all the people on board are killed, who knows that he did it.

At this time, some officials are about to mutter, this aftermath is not so brainless, taking the Zheng family's ship to sea, and not knowing that under the banner of the Zheng family, isn't this asking for trouble for yourself? At that time, the maritime merchants, some people were merchants, and when no one was around, they were pirates, so he wasn't so naïve, right?

But Yu Feng really did this, he didn't believe that this Liu ship owner swore that there was absolutely peace and the like in this sea area, and there were still a lot of crimes against the wind when the future generations "cracked down", if people were poor and crazy, what else would they not dare to do. It's just that he feels that he is playing the banner of the Zheng family at sea, which is for his own safety, which is acceptable, but if he enters the port like this, he can't help but feel that he is a head short in front of Zheng Zhilong.

To put it bluntly, he is still subconsciously, or directly putting Zheng Zhilong in the same position as his own identity, everyone has business contacts now, and this ship is now my real money to rent your Zheng family, and under the banner of your Zheng family in front of everyone, doesn't it seem that I want to be a head shorter than you. Even if your Zheng family is powerful, I really don't have much to ask you for, so why bother to cut face. Besides, I came out this time, but I came out to relax, and I went back to buy some souvenirs casually, so it's too shameless! Yes!

Of course, he also knew that he was now in Zheng Zhilong's mind, and he was afraid that the weight was still too light, and if people valued him and sent a few gunboats to escort him, there would not be much of a problem. In this case, I still beg to play the banner of others, and I feel a little self-respecting.

I heard that there was a white man who asked to see him, Yu Fengden was a little curious, this Ryukyu port, quite a bit of a free port, there are a lot of people coming and going, all kinds of people, etc., but I don't know anyone here, who will come to find him?

"The person who came claimed to be the captain of the Asuka, and said that he had something important to discuss with the adults!" Ship owner Liu vaguely guessed what was going on, but he still told Yu Feng as such.

Velasco obviously tidied up his appearance before he came, although the smell of wine on his body couldn't be concealed at once, but, after a little cleanup, he also showed a bit of a handsome appearance, of course, if he didn't have a few talents, he wouldn't have been able to fool a noble wife at the beginning. Although his appearance is not much different from other Western ghosts in the eyes of Captain Liu, in the eyes of Yu Feng, who has watched countless Hollywood blockbusters in later generations, the handsome guy in front of him actually has a bit of Brad Pitt's charm.

Seeing the aftermath of this scholar's dress, his eyes seemed to be on himself, Velasco muttered a little in his heart, I heard that those noble lords of this Ming Kingdom have a penchant for playing with the same sex, and this white and pure lord will not also have the vices of those heretics!

"Your Excellency, I am here this time because I have a deal to discuss with you"! After introducing himself in a few words, Velasco directly said what he meant: "Your ship doesn't seem to have enough escort force, I wonder if my Bird, has it this honor to accompany you through the rest of the journey?" ”

Dare to be a bodyguard to get a job? Yu Feng smiled dumbly, this was the first time he spoke face-to-face with a foreigner in the Ming Dynasty, and it was rare that this foreigner still spoke the official dialect of Beizhili.

This guy, I'm afraid he has passed the sixth level of Chinese! Yu Feng thought spoofingly, but looked at the other party with interest in his eyes. This guy named Velasco is obviously not very happy, which can be seen from the clothes on his body, he can still mix like this if he has a boat, then, I am afraid that this person will not be very happy to see the Zheng family who is rampant and domineering on this sea.

Velasco was a little hairy by Yu Feng's eyes, what does this mean, always looking at it? Annoyed Lao Tzu, as soon as you leave the port, I will rob you of your broken ship, and then wipe you off!

Yu Feng naturally didn't know that Velasco had such a thought in his heart, and after seeing enough of Velasco, he slowly retracted his gaze: "I heard that this ocean is very safe, and there seems to be no need to protect it!" ”

"So, you might be willing to hire an armed merchant ship, my Asuka, which has four holds, and will allow you to load more cargo?" Velasco changed his tone and turned to introduce his own merchant ship, anyway, whether it was a guard or a load, it was a serious deal, if the conversation was close, who didn't want to make money seriously, being a pirate in this sea area was too risky.

I'm not here to do business! Yu Feng was about to refuse the guy in front of him, only to hear Xu Chang behind him cough, he turned around, Xu Chang said respectfully: "Master, when we came out, we didn't bring much goods, but if we return, there are still a lot of things to bring, this Franc machine is afraid that the money turnover is not enough, so he does such things, if it costs not much, this business is also done!" ”

Also, Yu Feng suddenly came to his senses. I don't have a ship, and the Zheng family is a little reluctant to charter a ship, obviously unwilling to mix too much in this maritime industry, and even a merchant ship has only been allocated.

"Well, I'll admit you convinced me!" Yu Feng shrugged his shoulders very westernly: "I hope the price of hiring you won't make me feel very difficult!" ”

"No, it won't!" Velasco was a little overjoyed, this Ming lord decided to hire me, it seems that I, Velasco, is still favored by the Lord, and will always pull me when I am most embarrassed: "You only need to spend a little money to get the best service from the Asuka!"

According to the destination mentioned by Xu Chang, Velasco counted with his fingers for a long time, and finally quoted the price of five hundred taels of silver. This was already what he had done when he saw Yu Feng, and he had increased the price and raised it, and there were more than a dozen musketeers standing behind him as his entourage, not those simple merchants.

"Don't have that much!" Xu Chang got Yu Feng's permission, took over the conversation, shook his head and said, "Even if it is a merchant ship with three hundred materials, it is only about two hundred taels of silver for such a trip, aren't you slandering?"

"Of course not!" Velasco was anxious, "My Asuka is an armed merchant ship, with a total of four cannons, not only professional soldiers as gunners, but every sailor can fight with muskets!" ”

"Got a cannon?" Listening to their bargaining, Yu Feng also became interested, this is a weapon of the country! If this is the case, the five hundred taels of silver will not be lost.
