Chapter Ninety-Eight: Luzon

Now Hong Tao somewhat understands why there are many one-eyed dragons among the pirates and captains in Europe, and it is not a wound from the war at all, it is probably caused by observing the sun with the naked eye for a long time without filtering. It's a pity that he can't find a suitable filter available now, and there is no glass, so where to find sunglasses, so he can only go back and try to apply ink to the crystal to work. As for the question raised by Huang Tao, he really wanted to turn around and beat him, and dared to question the captain's decision on the boat, this Nima is like a rebellion! It not only affects their own thinking, but also brings fluctuations in the minds of other crew members.

“…… Or...... Why don't we go back the way we came from, didn't you draw the way you came from on that map! Huang Tao was also a little stunned when he heard Hong Tao's cold voice, but for the sake of his own life, he had to say.

"The original way is also measured according to my method, if this method does not work, then the original way is gone, wait for death!" Hong Tao wondered how Huang Tao's brain was long, if he couldn't do his own way to go forward, he would become it if he went backward? This Nima is not walking on the mud, and he can still leave footprints, but he is still a member of the Tan family, I don't understand this reason.

"My family is pregnant with a baby in a few months, and I don't want to die at sea...... Let's go back......" As soon as Huang Tao heard Hong Tao say this, he immediately became anxious, shouted at the top of his voice, and his spirit collapsed.

"Carl! Po Jiao, tie him to the helm with a rope, and don't give him water to drink! Hong Tao was very disappointed in Huang Tao, he didn't have the courage to park a child, even if this kind of person was trained, he was only worthy of being a sailor, not a captain. People's courage is a talent, and this talent can be awakened by acquired exercise, but if you are not talented enough, you will have to be a chicken at a critical moment, and you will not be able to become a decisive person, and you really chose the wrong person this time.

"Uncle......" Of course, Carl didn't say a word, picked up a bundle of hemp rope and walked towards Huang Tao, but Bo Jiao was not so ruthless, and wanted to plead with Huang Tao.

"Tied up with you for any more nonsense! How many times have I said that there is no uncle on the ship, there is the captain! Every word the captain said is a rule, not only can it not be violated, but it is not even possible to delay or question! Are you tied up or am I tied you? Hong Tao turned around and gave Bo Jiao a kick, and directly kicked the young man out and hit the mast hard.

"Why are you beating him, you foreigner!" When Huang Tao saw that Hong Tao kicked Bo Jiao down, he immediately became anxious and pounced on Hong Tao.

"Ah...... Syllable...... Hey...... "It's a pity that he only grabbed one of Hong Tao's arms with all his strength, and was thrown out by Hong Tao, and fell firmly on the deck.

"You're a brave man, and you know how to fight for your kindred, but it's a pity that you're in the wrong place." Hong Tao stopped Bozhu who was about to let go of the steering wheel and run over to persuade her with her eyes, things happened so fast that she was a little overwhelmed when she stood at the stern.

In the end, Huang Tao was still tied to the helm platform in front of the steering wheel by Carl and Bo Jiao, and at first he was still cursing Hong Tao in Chinese with Tanjia dialect, but no one dared to pay attention to him, Hong Tao even took him as air, and in less than two quarters of an hour, he had no strength to scold. Exposed to the sun, and blown by the sea breeze, I couldn't scold anymore when my mouth was dry.

Trek? No, Hong Tao knows very well in his heart that it is now a headwind, and the sailboat will zigzag forward, and the sailing time will definitely be longer. Now the latitude is not wrong, as long as you continue to the west, Luzon is not too far, at most 3 or 400 kilometers. But Hong Tao won't tell them this result, he can't even endure the torment of three or four days, and he can't get used to this problem. Huang Tao was already planning to give up, but he had to make the last use of his residual value, which was to give Carl, Bo Jiao and even Bo Zhu a sailing lesson, so that they knew how to obey the rules on the ship.

Huang Tao was tied up all night, and Hong Tao's order was not to give food or water to drink, but Bo Zhu quietly begged him in the cabin for a long time, and then he pretended not to see Bo Zhu quietly handed Huang Tao's amount of water to Bo Jiao, and then Carl hid a bowl of rice and a small piece of salted dried fish for Huang Tao. Hong Tao didn't want to really hurt Huang Tao and kill him, so he couldn't explain it when he went back. Punishing this thing is just a means, the important thing is to let the person being punished and the person watching remember why they were punished, and the next time they do something, don't forget this lesson.

"This time, Bojiao and Carl stole water and food for you, count yourself lucky, if you don't want to fish for the rest of your life, and you want to go to sea with the big ship, remember this lesson and catch up with other captains, you won't be so lucky. I know you have a grudge in your heart, and you are not too convinced by me, but unfortunately you have no other choice, I built this ship, I can catch whales, I can make the Tan family live a good life, and you can't, so you can only listen to me. I'll convince you of the loss, see no, it's almost dawn, if you don't find land before noon, I'll untie you down, and you tie me up. If you find land, then in front of a few other people, you admit your mistake to me, and promise that you will never make this mistake again in the future, do you dare to make this bet? When it was Hong Tao's turn to be on duty, the sky was already white, standing behind the steering wheel, Huang Tao was tied in front of him, and it was very convenient to chat.

"Hit it...... When the time comes, you can't cheat, I can't beat you! "Even if Huang Tao has water to drink and food to eat, he has been blown by the sea breeze on the deck for 7 or 8 hours, and his spirit and body can't stand it, as long as he is not an underground worker of our party, he can only choose to give in, and he can't play the spiritual victory method.

"Actually, you've already lost, look up at the sky, you're still a Tan family......" Hong Tao's ears are better, he faintly heard a bird call, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, there are seabirds, the land will not be too far, dozens of kilometers at most.

On the Philippine island of Luzon, when the sun rises over the sea, this lush continent also shows itself at sea level. Hong Tao had passed by here in his previous life, but the current island of Luzon is much more desolate than in later generations, and there are no merchant ships and fishing boats coming and going on the sea, nor can you see the American fleet showing off its might. The Explorer walked east along the coastline for two hours, not even a single ship was found, not a single port was seen.

"Don't go, turn around, it's really the sea in front of you!" When Hong Tao found a large island in the distance on the port side, he immediately gave the order to turn the bow of the ship. He already had a rough idea of where he was, on the northernmost side of Luzon, which was supposed to be one of the Babuyan Islands, and across this archipelago, in front of him was the vast North Pacific Ocean. If it had been driving at this latitude, Mexico would have waited ahead, and of course, the boat had little hope of making it to the end.

"Huang Tao, you said that this place needs big trees and big trees, and there are beaches, why didn't the Tan family come to settle here?" Huang Tao had already apologized to Hong Tao in front of the other three people, admitted his mistake and put himself in the right position, Hong Tao naturally would not continue to tie him up, not only let him go, but also personally taught him how to use a sextant to measure the angle of the sun.

"There are not even people, and no one buys the fish that has been hunted, and there is no food to exchange for food." Huang Tao was in tears and trying to learn the sextant, and it is estimated that Bo Jiao also told him that once Hong Tao does not wait to see anyone, then who will lose the qualification to drive a big ship in the future. He is also a young man in his early 20s, and he must have seen the big boat built by the Wen family on the beach, and it must be nonsense if he doesn't want to get on the big boat. Although he was punished by Hong Tao, Hong Tao is really capable, and he has nothing to say. This tear was not because of grievances, but because of the sun.

"Yes, it seems that logistics is a big problem......" Hong Tao's cunning thinking has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and he has not yet gained a firm foothold in Zhenzhou, so he began to think about a second foothold. Originally, he thought that the Philippines in the Song Dynasty was already a real country, but after walking along the coastline to the south for half a day, he didn't see any figures or ships within more than 100 kilometers, which was very abnormal. It can only explain one problem, at present, there are no large ethnic groups living in this land and sea, and it is a wasteland. As for where the port marked as Mayi on the Luo Youde chart is, it is estimated that it should still be further south.

"Azhu, lower the sail, the left rudder, let's go to the mouth of the river tonight to drop anchor." Until the sun set in the west, Hong Tao still didn't find the port of Mayi, just at the mouth of a big river on the left, Hong Tao had a little idea, and ordered the ship to slowly approach.
