Chapter 320: Saving Others

Zhang Liang scolded with a smile: "If it weren't for these equipment ******, I don't think you can beat a pirate, and you still blow it." ”

Xu Hao said arrogantly: "It's not a problem, look at you, how long did it take to arrive, and you are still fighting globally." ”

Zhang Liang ignored him and said: "The seizure is not bad, that ship can probably still be sold for some money, but I don't know if it can compensate for the cost of this operation." ”

Xu Hao said: "The key is Liwei, I have thought about it, these pirates can't all be killed, at least some of them can be left, let them scatter and flee, and go everywhere to promote the majesty of our navy." ”

Zhang Liang said: "You just blow it, just don't make enemies everywhere, pirates, you send it to a nearby port and solve it yourself, anyway, we don't need to develop sea power for the time being." ”

Xu Hao was annoyed for a while and said, "I really don't need it? ”

Zhang Liang said: "The pillar of our economy is the inland, the output of the Central Plains, the local resources can already feed an economy, and now the difficulty is the population ceiling, so that the land can not support, this problem, there are foreign immigrants, and high-quality fertilizers to solve, as for transportation, don't you know, or the railway is reliable." ”

Xu Hao said: "Yes, we are not an island country, and the shipping tradition has not yet been formed in the short term, which is very difficult." ”

The so-called shipping tradition naturally refers to the situation similar to Portugal, England, and the Netherlands, which are native Europe, lack resources, and have to habitually send a large number of people abroad to survive after the population increases.

Xu Hao thought for a while and said, "But I've caught so many pirates, so no one has given me internal credit or anything." ”

Zhang Liang was expressionless and said: "That's it, when the domestic situation is straightened out, if you should make some movies that are in line with the future, I will use you as a benchmark and shoot a shot of an old man fighting pirates at sea, well, or the plot of Wolf Warrior 9, do you like it, but the wolf thing seems to have no combat effectiveness at sea, change it for you, how about calling it a war fish?" ”

Xu Hao had a little hesitation in his eyes, and said: "Okay, unload, I locked up all the people on the ship, so I created such a good opportunity, and I acted neatly." ”

Zhang Liang suddenly asked: "By the way, who are the people who rescued me, did you ask, don't accidentally kill the ancestors of Dumas, Steve Jobs and the like." ”

Xu Hao scratched his head and said: "It's probably Portuguese, that's right, it just so happened to be from Macau to return to the mainland, grandma's, these guys, if there are foreigners on the ship, just throw them away." ”

Zhang Liang was also a little embarrassed and said: "How to deal with it, you still have to make your own mind, it is difficult to expect everyone to help you, but my suggestion, just find a port to stuff in, and then hurry up to flash people, your ship, it's a fragrant bun, now rely on speed, as long as you run over, people will find that you can't catch up with you, but if you delay here in the Indian Ocean for too long, then wait for someone to ambush you." ”

Xu Hao thought for a while, "They don't dare to ambush, and no one can beat them, I'm afraid that the water ghost will climb up at night, or take medicine when purchasing supplies, of course, I'm still very careful, eat inventory along the way, plus you can make a few more trips to deliver food." ”

"Damn, the Mid-Autumn Festival doesn't make people live in peace, okay, you have some moon cakes here, the people on the boat can be said to be the first time to be organized to participate in such an important event, they must be very uneasy, you can calm down first, just have a festival tomorrow."

Xu Hao nodded and said: "It's time to appease, it's just right to send money tomorrow, and it's not bad to boost morale and loyalty, well, by the way, I don't have private spoils, it's all done according to the established policy." ”

Zhang Liang pouted, "The loot is essentially a spoils sharing agreement, if it is really politically correct, it should not appear at all, the reason is very simple, it is too hateful, Napoleon is the crazy pursuit of the spoils of war by the generals who died under his hands." ”

Xu Hao said: "It seems that even a quasi-ally like Spain bites, and there is no one left, don't worry, didn't you say it, this is a temporary policy, and soon everyone will understand that robbing things is not as good as selling things to make you rich." ”

The two of them got busy, replenished the supplies for the Liaoning, and couldn't manage it at all, in the closed cabin, although the lights were turned on at night, but the people in the activity room still couldn't sleep peacefully, and suddenly pushed everyone into the cabin, and there was a loud noise, and everyone was very uneasy, although there were no people moving around, but they still sat on the ground, wrapped in blankets sent by the soldiers, and rested there.

After the people on the Liaoning suppressed these pirates before, they showed their prestige, and the robbed ship, a few survivors were also collected, and they were also brought to the ship, and now there are more than 20 people alive, but there are also food and drink, but it is difficult to control their fate, and they can only worry about every suspicious voice, as if they suspect that the uncle who took him in is sharpening his knife against his Cao Cao.

A slender voice said in pure Portuguese: "Jasmine, don't be sad, your father died to protect everyone, and we will not forget him." ”

With tears in her eyes, Jasmine wrapped her whole body in a black cloak said: "Thank you, but now that we are controlled by these Chinese, what will they do to us, if we are taken as slaves, I will not agree to die." ”

"Don't say it, I'm going to cry too."

A middle-aged man looked at it and said, "Don't cry, if you bring those heretics here, I don't know what you will do!" ”

He turned his head to look at Mei Qianzhi and said, "Priest, what's going on, why did they close the door all of a sudden and didn't allow us to go out, I ...... I can pay the ransom, that's fine. ”

Mei Qianzhi also lost face, originally as a guide, but he was not regarded as a trusted person at all, but he still had to support and said: "My Enrique, don't care, they are the envoys sent to Europe by the Celestial Empire government, this has been confirmed, you look at this divine ship, even composed of many metal parts, it can actually float on the water, and the speed of this ship is so amazing, you don't need to use sails, but you can also pull another ship to drive, it's amazing, At most, they are suspicious of our identity, for fear that we will attack them, so be very careful. ”

Enrique said angrily: "We are noble Portuguese nobles, how can this be! ”

Mei Qianzhi also said helplessly: "However, these Chinese will not know our class at all." ”

Enrique was also discouraged, they saved him, but they were locked up because of caution, and if they were dissatisfied because of this, it would be a big fuss, and they would all be gathered together for protection, and those pirates were all imprisoned on the pirate ship.

He frowned suddenly, and said: "Our route is secret, why would there be pirates to hijack us in advance, this is so strange, they seem to have calculated the time, and they are waiting for us there!" ”

"Dad, I also find it strange that they don't seem to negotiate at all, collect the ransom, and come over to kill people without saying a word."

The man in the black cloak also analyzed, and she gradually showed her lips and said, "This is not like a pure pirate. ”

"Don't say it yourself, hmph, the kingdom has just gained independence from Spain, is there anyone who wants to deal with us."

Enrique, a middle-aged man, frowned and said: "Well, it's easy to figure out this matter, how those pirates found us and attacked us, someone must know, just interrogate slowly, before that, it's best not to let these Chinese know our identity." ”

As soon as the words fell, he heard that the door that was originally closed was opened, and Xu Hao, who walked in from the outside, looked around, and looked at this group of people, although they had just been attacked and died in their lives, but their mental outlook was still good, and they were also a little satisfied and admired in their hearts.

He looked at Mei Qianzhi and said, "Father, are these people in good moods?" ”

"Yes, thanks to your protection." Mei Qianzhi has only seen Chinese in Guangdong, and he still takes the upper route, and he really can't accept Xu Hao's straightforward nature.

Therefore, it is necessary to be careful.

Xu Hao only glanced at it a few times, and he felt a different atmosphere, he didn't know Portuguese very well, even if it was a voice record from later generations, it was also an improved pronunciation, just like the difference between Mandarin and Henan dialect, he also smiled and said: "Don't be the farmer in the snake and the farmer story, well, as for this, we seem to have screened people well, they are indeed innocent victims, then I think, for the time being, the temporary detention can be lifted, I am here to invite them to live in the cabin." ”

Mei Qian was overjoyed, turned her head and muttered a few times to Enrique, Enrique's face became softened, and when he came over, he wanted to shake hands with Xu Hao and talk.

Xu Hao waved his hand, didn't give him a chance to take a look, turned his head and left.

He is too lazy to meet these foreigners in general, calculate and calculate, and after finding another port, throw these people down directly, he can continue to move forward, time cannot be delayed, calculate and calculate, for them, the real test has just begun.

This is the beginning of contact with real and scientifically literate and politically greedy Europeans.

Although Enrique was deflated, he did not have a seizure, but said encouragingly: "Gentlemen, let us go and rest, maybe this is not necessarily King Solomon's palace." ”

They helped each other down under the guidance of the guard company and went down to a cabin to rest.

Of course, in terms of quality, of course, it is not as comfortable as the double room where Mei Qian lives, twenty or so people live in a room that can accommodate forty people, there are three floors of bunk beds, and there is a separate small bathroom, of course, the reason why it took so long is actually to spend time secretly installing the camera.

The sea ships of this era were all studied in terms of displacement, sturdiness, and the number of cannons they carried, and there was really little research on the comfort of the personnel, which was far worse than the canvas hammocks of the elders, although they were novel, but they were also slowly preparing to sleep.

However, Enrique looked at Namei Qianzhi and said, "Isn't there another room?" ”

Mei Qianzhi understood what it meant, Europe is a hierarchical society, even if he enters a prisoner of war camp, the treatment of noble officers and ordinary soldiers is also different, in general, it is, the posture of the aristocratic class uniting, he said with a little apology: "Sir, that's it, we don't want to ask for more." ”

"Can you please ask for even some money from me, my ...... Son, not used to sleeping with people, he will have insomnia, I just noticed that there is an empty room next door. ”

Mei Qianzhi scratched his head, he asked himself if he really didn't have this influence, those usual tricks were used, whether it was praise or some amazing words to arouse curiosity, the elder looked unreasonable, and was busy by himself, but although the other party's request seemed incredible to these Orientals, it was really reasonable in the eyes of the nobles.

"Sleep tonight, Mr. Enrique, wait until tomorrow, I'll go and ask for it for you, besides, the speed of this ship is very impressive, it actually only took three days to get here from Macau, or there are delays on the way, I want to send you to the next port, it will only take a short time."

"What! Three days! "There's something wrong with Enrique's eyes, it's amazing." You're not mistaken, even the fastest Galen ship is ......."

"You see, the ship doesn't need any sails at all, it seems to have its own power to move it, and if you look closely, you can see that there are many different places where the wood used in this ship is very different."

Enrique's eyes widened and he said: "I didn't pay attention, I was too flustered at the time, and I was arrested here after getting on the boat, this ship is really from the Chinese government?" Then why don't they use it to ......"

Prince Henry of Portugal is known as a navigator, created a miracle of the sea route, and invested a number of commercial returns of up to 100 times, setting off a great business in Portugal and even Europe.

Enrique thought at the time, if they really had such a sea ship, why didn't they take it out earlier, once it was used, how could any warship in the world compete with it?

Enrique also learned from other people how the people on the ship easily took the pirate ship and forced the pirates to surrender, and he was already speculating.
