258 The End of the Frigate
The two wooden sailboats on the sea were approaching the core of the storm group, and by this time the rain in the sky was already intensifying. Just as the sea and sky were pouring down, a small sampan was struggling to approach the frigate.
A small white flag was planted at the back of the dinghy, indicating that the man was a negotiator, and red blood seeped from his forehead and thighs, causing the torrential rain to turn a faint pink.
The messenger shook his sculls vigorously, each shaking almost exhausted all his strength, but he persevered, his eyes full of unwavering light.
The frigate was getting closer and closer, and the towering deck was filled with the grunt roar of French, and the heads of countless soldiers poked out, looking condescendingly at the thin and pitiful sampan.
Just when the sampan was still more than ten meters away from the frigate, suddenly the soldiers shouted, "Look, there is something on the sampan, what are those barrels......"
"Report to the captain, there's a strange barrel in that sampan, which we suspect is dangerous goods......"
The captain hurriedly ran over, helped the side of the boat to look down, and a cold air rushed up from the back of the spine, and on the small sampan, five wooden barrels were actually tied flatly, and the Chinese was rowing over from the wooden barrels.
"Musketeers on alert...... Put down the rope ladder and send the lad down to inspect it...... You, it's you, stop now, don't row......" the captain roared.
Sitting on the small sampan was the dead soldier Ah Cai, he looked up coldly at the chaotic French sailors, the corners of his mouth suddenly smiled strangely, and then began to shake his head, which means I don't understand your language.
At this time, Ah Cai's arms began to exert force violently, the oars slapped against the waves, and the sampan began to rapidly approach the frigate.
"Stop...... Stop now, and if you don't stop, I'll shoot...... Damn it, shoot him, shoot him......"
A second officer pulled out a pistol from his waist and snapped three shots, two of which flew into the sea, and the last shot hit Ah Cai's shoulder blade.
Blood flowed out, but in exchange for only Ah Cai frowning slightly, his arms were still strong, and he was now less than five meters away from the frigate.
When the gunshots rang out, Xiao Lotian and all the Chinese in the distance cried, tears mixed with rain flowing. Long Ye's hands holding the side of the ship were all buckled into the wood, they knew that Ah Cai's life had come to an end, and the five wooden barrels were filled with gunpowder, enough to send this frigate to hell.
"Don't cry, we can't cry......" Xiao Letian held back his tears, but couldn't hold back at all, "Tears can't solve any problems, any road to the rejuvenation of private capital is full of suffering and blood, and our nation can't stand up without sacrificing it......"
"Ah Cai, you won't sacrifice in vain, I'll reserve a place for you in the Ryukyu Military Temple..."
Ah Cai in the storm couldn't hear Xiao Letian's cries, and he ignored the frightened cries of the French sailors, and after being hit three times, he finally pushed the sampan up.
"At the end of the day, Lao Tzu's life will come to an end...... Leave this rotten life here, my lord... Remember your promise, don't let our children and grandchildren end up like me, in a place where there is no place to be buried..."
Ah Cai took out a firework from his arms, and at the front was a thick wax seal, and he bit the wax seal with his mouth to reveal the yellow phosphorus layer inside. Ah Cai lowered his head to block the rain, pasted a piece of dry oiled paper on the inner lining of his coat, and he violently wiped the smoke and immediately got up.
"Hahaha, it's so easy to use, the signal flare designed by the adult is so fucking easy to use......" Ah Cai used his fingers to snap open the wax seal of the powder keg, and plugged the flare upside down.
"......No," the French on the boat exclaimed miserably, but it was too late, and there was a sudden light between the sea and the sky, as if someone had lit a bright lamp in a dark cloud and black cauldron, followed by a huge explosion wave.
Boom Boom Boom ...... A chain explosion reaction occurred in the powder keg, and the side deck of the frigate was suddenly blown open by two people, and the sailors in the inner compartment were torn apart like rag dolls, and dozens of tons of seawater rushed into the sky.
"Ah Cai...... The Soul is back...... The soul is back, follow us...... Come home with us......" The brothers present all knelt down, even Xiao Lotian knelt in the stern of the boat and burst into tears.
The Prussian Paul, the Italian captain Alexander, and countless sailors kneeling on one knee and constantly crossing their chests, these brave heroes have completely conquered them, and the image of the Chinese has been completely subverted in their hearts.
What a terrible nation this is, how could such a bloody group of people be defeated by Britain and France?
The end of the French frigate has finally arrived, the force of the explosion of five barrels of gunpowder has broken the keel of the hull, and the huge breach of sea water is pouring into it, although the battleship has a watertight compartment, but the area damaged by the explosion is too much, and the hull soon began to capsize.
Heavy guns crashed into the cabin, sailors on the deck crackled down like dumplings, and the huge wind and waves rolled up, and I don't know how many unjust souls returned to the underworld.
"Hurry up and hoist the sails, let's go save people, we can't see death without saving ......" Captain Alexander commanded the sailors and wanted to rush up, but the dragon master and they were anxious when they saw it, rushed up and grabbed the captain's collar.
"I think you dare... That's a bunch of executioners, they deserve it, and now it's war, not child's play......"
"No, we are all God's people, they have failed, we have to save people, this is a moral ......"
The two were arguing desperately, when suddenly the frigate in the distance shot a muffled mine out of thin air, and a ball of fire shot out from the hull, and the powder magazine inside the original battleship exploded, and the unlucky battleship was completely dismantled.
There was no one shouting to save people, and they watched as the shock wave of the explosion swept across the sea, and countless French soldiers were shocked and bled to the bottom of the sea.
At this time, all the foreigners set their eyes on Xiao Letian, if they only thought that this Chinese was mysterious and noble before, but today's big explosion, the feeling in their hearts can all become frightened.
What a terrible man this is, so many young people bravely went to death at his command, and the French warship that flaunted its might was completely sunk in front of him.
Everyone looked at Xiao Letian, and they wanted to know what the next order of this enigmatic Oriental man was. But no one expected that Xiao Lotian finally sighed and said.
"Save people, save as much as you can, war can't destroy morality, after all, we are all living people..."
With Xiao Letian's order, the merchant ship immediately began to move, and in the storm, one French sailor after another was salvaged, but unfortunately the two explosions were too violent, and in the end only more than 30 sailors were rescued, and the others all sank to the bottom of the sea.
"Let's go, let's go, these French soldiers will be sent to Italy in the north, find a small village in the middle of nowhere, and then release them when I have reached Prussia safely. When the time comes, you Prussia will negotiate with France, and I won't have time to fight those lawsuits......"
The cargo ship continued to set sail, but the plan was changed, the cargo ship was secretly docked on the coast south of Rome, and Xiao Lotian secretly headed to Naples under the leadership of Paul, where he joined up with Prussian intelligence, replaced it with an inconspicuous Portuguese fishing boat, and began to continue its journey towards Marseille.
This transfer really deceived the British and French navies, and although they encountered two interceptions along the way, as soon as they saw that it was a Portuguese fishing boat, they were hastily searched and let go. Five days later, the fishing boat finally docked at the port of Marseille, and Xiao Lotian and his party finally landed on French territory at night.
"Marseille, Marseille... The largest port in France, the second largest city in the country, and a famous Mediterranean city with a long history, but this time it was smuggled over, and it can't be turned around......" Xiao Lotian wore a black cloak and looked regretfully at the brightly lit city in the distance.
"Prime Minister, the carriage is ready, we must leave at once, now that all of France's Prussian intelligence agents have been mobilized, and everyone's task is to ensure your safety......"
Xiao LetianOf course, you understand the subtext of the intelligence officer Paul, this is already a clear warning to you to stop causing trouble, the environment you are in now is extremely dangerous, even if you don't care about your own safety, you have to care about the safety of others.
Xiao Letian smiled bitterly, turned around and helped the tiger girl to step into the carriage, and then Ah Chou, Ping'er, Fang Guan and other female dependents got into the second carriage, and then Yiwang and Long Ye squeezed into the third carriage.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the carriages began to gallop north, avoiding the cascading Marseilles, and they were to sail north along the Rhône, passing through Lyon and into the Saône, and finally disembarking in Dijon. Once there, it was not far from the northern border of France, and it was believed that with the assistance of Prussian intelligence, it would not be difficult to smuggle across the border.
The tiger girl was lying in Xiao Letian's arms, curiously looking at the lights of the French family outside the window, feeling the strong exotic style, and she didn't feel sleepy at all.
"Is this what you call Europe? It's amazing and beautiful, but I don't like it, the people here are polite on the surface, but I can feel that they look down on us in their bones......"
Tiger girl is a sensitive girl, may have something to do with the environment in which he grew up, she can read the true love from the eyes of others, since leaving China, she has seen too many Western colonial cities along the way, and she will never forget the arrogant eyes of the white race.
"Maybe they have some respect for you, the prime minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom, but when they look at us, they don't have the slightest kindness in their eyes, and it's very fake, it's fake......"
Xiao Letian hugged her, stroked the hair of the tiger girl with his palm, and whispered, "People will change, when you win their respect with your fists, they will change their attitude towards you, you think back to those Italians." What did they do to us when the French ships were blown up and sunk?"
"If you want to earn respect, you must first be a person who deserves the respect of others, and this is why we came to Europe?"
