Swish!

Gao Jia's head hit the ground, rolling on the deck, blood spurting from his neck on the ground.

"Good kill!" Chen Liuzi shouted, he and Gao Jia used to be brothers, but they were victimized by him, and they hated him the most. As soon as Gao Jia died at this time, the hatred that had accumulated in Chen Liuzi's chest for many days was released in an instant, and he roared loudly: "This dog-legged, dog-traitor, damn it, it should be killed!" ”

Everyone nodded: "Yes, just kill him like this, it's really cheap for him!" ”

"It should be cut with a thousand cuts, and it should be broken and ashes scattered!"

The Chinese sailors were indignant, which made the British sailors even more frightened, and they shrank one by one, not daring to look at Li Zhaoji's eyes.

Li Zhaoji looked at them, shook the blood stain on the knife, and said in English: "My brother, I hate this vicious dog the most, and I cut off their heads." And my brother, I don't hate you, you are poor like us, so we will not hurt you.

Now, give you a chance to choose two of these people that you hate the most, and kill them. ”

There were more than 60 people on this Ahat armed merchant ship of the Vostok, of which more than half were Chinese, but these people were deceived into boarding the ship in Pattani, and in just over a month, they could not sail at all.

But they may not be able to support them, and they may even resist, so they can only avenge them by making them surrender.

When the British sailors hesitated, Lee Siu-ji raised his sword and asked, "Do you want to be enemies with us?" ”

"He, he's the most damned!"

Li Zhaoji's sentence immediately reacted, and a middle-aged sailor holding a wine dispenser suddenly pointed to a one-legged man among the kneeling people.

After a closer look, Li Zhaoji couldn't remember this person, so he asked Chen Liuzi, and Chen Liuzi said, "It seems to be a cook." ”

On a sailing ship, there are not only sailors, but also management, if it is a sail warship, the most basic management is the sailing non-commissioned officer, who is responsible for managing the various groups of sailors, while on a merchant ship, it is the boatswain who is responsible, and on a sailing ship, the discipline is very strict, and the punishment is cruel, so the boatswain is generally the person hated the most by the sailors. But the one-legged man is clearly not, he is just a cook.

But Li Zhaoji didn't know that this cook also held other positions, such as quartermaster and administrator.

As a cook, he was hated because he was a water guy. On ships, biscuits and cured meats are the staple food, and when cooking, the fat from the cured meats is a rare delicacy in the sailor's meal, and the cook will fish them out separately and sell them to the sailors, which is very hateful.

What is even more hateful is that he is also the quartermaster, and he will covet the rum of the ink sailors, which is the most unacceptable for the sailors who are addicted to alcohol.

The cook was kicked out, and the second was a trainee officer, young and vicious, and a waiter at Johnson, who often made small reports and was hated.

Although the two men cried bitterly and begged for mercy, they were tortured to death by the sailors who swarmed them.

Half an hour later, the captain's room.

When Chen Liuzi and Liu Mingde came in, the table was already full of a pot of chicken, and the steam was rising.

"Chief." The two fell to their knees.

Li Zhaoji waved his hand: "Why call me the leader, I am older than you in the sixth son, you call me a big brother, I call you a brother, that's it." Brother Liu, we have more than one round, and we are our big brother. ”

"Hehe, if the eldest brother says so, I'm not welcome, brother."

"Brother, this time it is thanks to you, otherwise our uncle and nephew's life would ........"

"Don't say anything, eat meat first, damn, I've been suffering these days." Li Zhaoji scooped up a chicken leg and put it on Liu Mingde's plate, there were no chopsticks on this boat, and the three of them could only fish and eat.

In order to win the hearts of the people, Li Zhaoji arranged to guard the prisoners, and after assigning the sailors, his first order was to kill all the chickens and sheep kept in the lifeboats.

These animals were one of the few fresh food on board, and the eggs and goat's milk that were originally supplied to the captain and others were now available for everyone to eat.

The three of them have suffered a lot recently, and they have eaten a lot of chicken, and after eating a lot of seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, and eight, Li Zhaoji said: "Now that the Dongfang is in the hands of our brothers, how to go next, I want to discuss with you, if the three of us don't have one heart, this good situation, I'm afraid we can't stand it." ”

"Big brother, what do you think?" Chen Liuzi asked directly, and Liu Mingde also looked at Li Zhaoji.

Li Zhaoji said: "The situation of this ship, you know better than me, the condition of the ship is poor, the speed is slow, we can't run away directly, but sooner or later, Yingyi will find out that we have hijacked this ship, let's fight one, the odds are not good." I mean, run if you can, stabilize the situation during the day, don't let Yingyi find out, and at night, leave quietly.

But the question is, where do we go after we leave the fleet? ”

This question was placed in front of the three of them, Chen Liuzi and Liu Mingde glanced at each other, and they both laughed dryly.

Liu Mingde is a native of Guangdong, and William's fleet was originally going to Guangdong, so their uncle and nephew naturally wanted to go home, but the problem was that if they had the same destination as William's fleet, even if they broke away, they might catch up.

And Chen Liuzi is a Chinese in Nanyang Pattani, and most of the Chinese sailors on the ship are Pattani, so they naturally want to go south and go home.

"Big brother, to be honest, I want to go home." Chen Liuzi took the lead in saying.

Li Zhaoji nodded: "Most of the brothers on the ship think the same way. ”

"Yes, the brothers also asked me to talk to you just now, let's find an opportunity to turn around and go back to Pattani." Chen Liuzi said, Li Zhaoji nodded slightly, and fell silent, in fact, he didn't want to go to Nanyang, but wanted to go to Guangzhou.

In Nanyang, where there is trade, there are Chinese, but the status of the Chinese is very low, as evidenced by the massacre of more than 20,000 Chinese in Spain in Manila a few years ago.

When Li Zhaoji was thinking about how to persuade Chen Liuzi, Chen Liuzi said: "Although the brothers want to go home, I want to go back, but we must not go to Pattani." ”

"Oh, why?" Li Zhaoji came to the spirit and took the initiative to ask.

Chen Liuzi explained: "The red-haired devil built a merchant house in Pattani and made offerings to the Sultan of Pattani, and we go back, if the red-haired devil chases after us, it will be taken by them and the local fanzi, let's go back, won't we fall into the net?" ”

In the 17th century, the British East Indy Company mainly relied on bribery to establish trade in the East, one to be a good licking dog, two to be a good thug, and three to be an arms dealer. Only by doing these three things can we gain a foothold.

"Yes, the six brothers are right, they can't go to Pattani, they have to go to Guangzhou. Brother Li, I just inspected the warehouse, but there are a lot of goods in demand, and these goods are sold to Guangzhou, and we will be developed. Unlike Chen Liuzi, who is reasonable and discerns the crisis, Liu Mingde still thinks like a small businessman.

Li Zhaoji nodded slightly, and already had an idea in his heart: "Let's go to Guangzhou, when we arrive in Guangzhou, we sell goods, make money, and talk about the future." ”

"Good!" Liu Mingde was the first to support.

"Big brother, you are my benefactor, and I, Chen Liuzi, will listen to you from today on." Chen Liuzi clenched his fists and said.

The hands of the three men were clasped tightly together, and suddenly, an explosion was heard from a distance, and the three men immediately got up, put on their weapons, and came to the stern.

"It should be that Yingyi found out that something was wrong with the Dongfang, but I don't know how they found out." Liu Shun, who was looking after the rudder in the stern, said to Li Zhaoji.

In the distance, the London and the Indy were approaching the Vostok, and the explosion just now was the warning cannon fired by the Indy, which was walking in front.

"It should be that there is a problem with the signal flag, and the fleet communicates with the flag during the day and the light signal at night." Li Zhaoji opened the telescope to see, on the mast of the main mast of the Indy, a navigator kept waving a signal flag to communicate, but Li Zhaoji could not understand the meaning of the other side at all.

"What should I do?" Compared with the bold Liu Shun, Liu Li was obviously more timid, he asked in a low voice.

Li Zhaoji said: "What are you afraid of, there is me!" ”

After a little thought, Li Zhaoji said: "Go, bring all the captives up, and tie them all to the sides." ”

"Do you want to distribute weapons to the sailors?" Chen Liuzi asked.

Li Zhaoji shook his head slightly: "Yingyi sailors are unreliable, let's try to deal with them first, after all, we have prisoners in our hands, don't worry too much." ”

Aaron and the other prisoners were brought to the deck, and tied directly to the bulwarks on both sides with ropes, the purpose was very clear, that is, to let them be used as shields, and it was obvious that this trick was very effective, just now it was still aggressive, while advancing, the Indy, which fired the cannon, immediately flicked its tail, parallel to the Vostok, and the cannon door was closed, indicating that it was friendly and harmless.

Li Zhaoji walked behind Aaron and carefully observed the other party, the Indy, like the Dongfang, is an Ahart ship, but the Indy is a new ship, and it has been maintained in Pattani and Hoi An, and the speed is relatively fast. Comparatively speaking, the London is a Flute merchant ship, which is much slower than this big-bellied merchant ship.

"Aaron, come and call them and tell them to send messengers to the contact, no more than three people, no weapons, and no near the Indy and London during this period, otherwise you will all die." Lee Siu Ki said to Aaron.

Aaron, as a commercial commissioner, is more successful in business, he is usually very arrogant, even in front of Captain Johnson, he is also a high posture, always well-dressed, and his hair is carefully groomed, but now, he has become a prisoner, threatened, and cries a handful of snot and tears.

"Hurry up, do you want me to stab you in the ass?" Seeing that Aaron was speechless in fear, Li Zhaoji scolded loudly, and the dagger was on his ass.

Aaron clamped his ass and screamed loudly.
