Hao Jingao, in the dark and cramped wine shop, Li Dan flashed up to the second floor.

There were a few elderly Haikou sitting upstairs, Hua Yu sat on the wooden bed full of insect eyes, sharpening his short knife over and over again, seeing Li Dan come in, he waved his hand and threw a dagger over, which was firmly held in his hand by Li Dan, and then took two steps and sat in front of the wooden table with the dagger also stuck on it.

"Where's Maiatou?"

Hua Yu whistled softly, glanced at the window with his face tied in a black scarf, and asked, "Your father-in-law of a thousand households, is he really going to work with Mai Yatu's sailors in public?" ”

"He's an official, we're thieves, can we be trusted?"

An elderly Yiren pirate with a red beard also said in stiff Chinese: "The officials of the Ming Dynasty liked to let pirates fight pirates the most, and if there was no support, we would all die." ”

Li Dan ignored it, walked to the window and opened the window, and looked at the stone building across the street through the gap, it was the Franco's tavern, which looked much more gorgeous than their dilapidated wine shop, and there were several strong men with weapons standing outside the tavern, and it was basically concluded that Mai Yatu was in the tavern.

Ho Ho Kiang Macao is a very important transit point for the Portuguese, and they opened up Ho Ho Ho - Nagasaki; Haojing - Goa - Lisbon; The three important routes of the Ho Mirror-Manila-Americas pass through merchant ships dozens of times a year, but not many of these merchant ships employ black sailors, especially as escorts.

The Maiatou they were looking for was counted as one.

Because the ships of Maiatu were too big, the ships on the sea were not as big as possible, the centipede ships were long ships that required a large number of manpower, the merchant ships that sold goods needed thirty or forty people to handle, and the centipede ships needed three hundred people to reach the fastest speed.

The best sailors of Yishang are naturally skilled sailors in Portugal and Spain, and the inferior sailors are sailors in India, Manchurian, Ming, and Wa countries, because the control techniques of the soft sail of the western ship and the hard sail of the East are different, and the Oriental people have no inherent advantage in the control of Western ships.

Finally, there are the blacks, because they don't know how to sail hard or soft, and it is relatively difficult to learn.

The centipede boat did not suffer from such a problem, a dozen Portuguese and two dozen East Asians steered the sails, and hundreds of blacks and Indian soldiers were left to paddle, which was more powerful and cheap.

"Do you really want to do it?"

Li Dan turned his head and bowed his head heavily, "This time it is done, and the Ming army will be stationed in Haojing." The imperial court mobilized Chen Chaojue to lead the naval division overseas, and all the 700 banner troops of Xiangshan have landed on the island. If we don't do it, the court may lose for a while, but in the end, the court will still win. ”

"We can only do it."

Hua Yu let out a long breath, pinned the short knife on his waist, carried a worn-out bird gun and stuffed it into the lead pill, handed it to Li Dan, spread out his hands and shrugged his shoulders, and said: "I will prepare a few small boats to the east cliff, if the Ming army goes back on its word afterwards, we will go to the chicken coop." ”

After that, Hua Yu took two Francophone pirates and turned around and walked out, saying, "I'll go to the shipyard, you are ready to whistle, and wait for the fat man to come out." ”

After Hua Yu left, there were still two pirates left in the house, one was a Japanese man with a long knife, and the other was a Ming man with a fire gun.

The Japanese went downstairs, and the Ming people held the arquebus and Li Dan by the window, facing the door of the tavern.

Li Dan took a deep breath and whistled by the window.

At the end of the street, seven or eight tattered and cheering children ran up to them, surrounded a few black men outside the tavern, and stretched out their hands to demand something, and in an instant they became chaotic.

Behind the child, Dieniang, who was carrying the hem of a long skirt, took two women to laugh and say coquettishly while walking: "Walk slowly, go slowly!" ”

Several black fans guarding the door of the tavern drove away the children irritably, showing great interest in the three white Ming Dynasty women, rolling their thick lips and smiling and making lewd movements.

Two men in the tavern came out with wine glasses in hand, laughing and scolding.

The next moment, the child grabbed the money bag on the black man and ran away, several black people chased out with long legs, and some people were stabbed in the abdomen by the beggar next to him with a knife, and the knife stabbed down.

The man who walked out of the tavern dropped his glass and drew his knife to chase after the black man, but their target was not a child.

"Ahh Killed! ”

Dieniang let out a frightened scream, which was extremely piercing in the street, Li Dan was holding a bird by the window, watching the performance of his mother and beggar, his heart rose to his throat, and then he saw the noise outside the tavern that the drinkers inside rushed out of more than ten people, and Dieniang shouted loudly to show them what happened.

All they saw were a few black men lying in pools of blood, beggars fleeing in all directions, and two men running with knives.

"Catch up with them!"

The unlucky drinkers couldn't hide, and only the sailors of the Maiatu fleet who came out of the tavern were in pursuit.

Li Dan was condescending, and at a glance he saw Mai Yatu in the crowd wearing the iconic big boat hat and plate armor, and the sturdy body under the plate armor could hardly be hidden, and his teeth were sour.

With the bright armor painted with a red sword cross on his chest, Li Dan looked at the old bird gun in his hand, put the fire rope to the fire rope of the fire gun hand next to him, ignited it, stuffed it into the gun rod, and spat at his feet.

Damn! I don't know if this broken bird gun can penetrate this turtle shell!

Maiatou didn't know that just ten paces away, on the corner of the street, a bird was shining through a bird's gun, but he had clearly sensed that something was wrong.

Not to mention that in Ho Kyo, even in the chicken coop, in Nagasaki and in Malacca, no one would kill a few black slaves for no reason and run away. Even if Mai Yatu didn't know what it meant to divert the tiger from the mountain, he felt that the defensive forces around him were rapidly decreasing.

Four of the guards at the gate died, and two of his followers chased them out, and now there were only two guards left around him.

This made Mai Yatu feel a strong sense of unease, and his eyes were always on the side street but he did not dare to leave rashly, and his eyes kept crossing the sturdy and fierce drinkers around him, and his hands touched the hilt of the sword at his waist.

It's just that the most dangerous enemies often look harmless, and the three women look at each other and are almost all short at the same time, and when they look up again, they already have short knives and daggers in their hands, and they slash between the necks of two of Maiatou's retinues.

Dieniang's dagger was nailed into the unprotected leg crook of the Mai Yatu plate armor leggings, and the screams exploded violently.

Bang!

Bang!

In the window, a fire gun and a bird gun made a loud noise after Mai Yatu drew his sword and turned around, and the smoke of gunpowder spread out through the cracks in the window, Li Dan dropped the bird gun and jumped out, trampling on the tiles by the wall and jumping onto the street.

The katana-wielding Japanese was already fighting with the mid-gun Maiyatu, and Dieniang laughed and shouted, "Girls, let's go!" ”

One leg ligament was severed, and Mai Yatu, who had suffered a heavy blow in the plate armor on his body, could not have much combat power, but he was picked apart by the Oriental long knife in the hand-to-hand fight, and the handle of the knife was smashed in the face.

Li Dan put the dagger in his mouth back into his waist, picked up Mai Yatu's long sword with a cross gauntlet and played it twice in his hand, and put his two fingers into his mouth to blow a whistle, and a group of beggars at the end of the street flocked to the old and the young, and Mai Yatu, who was constantly shouting but had nothing to do, and left.

The godson smiled and carefully inserted the long sword along the gap in his waist, and very curiously buckled the captain's hat on his head, and then he took out a dozen tongbao and spilled them at the drinkers present, laughing loudly in the Japanese language as he walked.

"Go to the ship repair yard and tell Renta Miura that Maiatu is in the council square!"
