Chapter 736: Who Are They? (Page 1/1)
Although Chen Decai was injured in the leg, he was still fighting desperately. Until the sea wolf's firecracker is in place, there is no suspense in this battle.
The gunners of the Dutch battleship had gone to the beach, and there were sailors and gunners on board. Although they were brave, they were still defeated by pieces when they encountered the firecrackers.
In the confusion, it was not known who was the first to drop their weapons, and then the Dutch on the battleship surrendered. Brad and the other battleship were captured, and the remaining battleship surrendered when it saw no hope of escaping.
On the deck of the Head Wolf, Brad personally called the saber to the hands of the money soldiers. and bowed and said, "Your Excellency, Captain! The Dutch fleet in Ceylon has been defeated, and I ask you to be kind to the captured soldiers.
For them the war is over, and they deserve what they deserve. The East India Company will soon pay a ransom worthy of our status, and I beg your Excellency not to embarrass these boys! ”
Qian Bing handed over the saber that Bullard handed over, and said with a smile: "Since you are prisoners of war, you will definitely be treated as prisoners of war, after all, I have a smuggling license issued by the Changxing Army."
I am also a member of the Changxing Navy, and you and your crew will definitely be well fed and clothed, and you only need to pay some labor in exchange for the food you need every day! ”
Brad had already cursed the English in his heart, and he didn't know who came up with such a disgusting thing as a smuggling license.
Turning pirates into a group of legitimately robbing soldiers is disgusting. If you are caught, you are a soldier who acts on orders, and if you are not caught, you are a pirate who does all kinds of evil.
But this is the maritime rule that they Europeans arose, and when they were taken by the Changxing army, they could only shoot themselves in the foot. He could imagine that the defenseless Ceylon would be plundered by the pirates, if only they could bring their riches back to Manchurian.
When the time comes, more Ming people will join the ranks of pirates, and there will be no peace in the Indian Ocean in the future. This part of the ocean will tremble under the Akito's warship, and anyone who wants to go to sea will need Akito's permission.
From then on, the Europeans will completely lose the East, and no one will be able to defeat the Ming people in this sea. Unless the navies of the whole of Europe unite for an expedition, but is this possible?
Although the port of Ceylon is still as bustling as usual, the market near the pier is still brightly lit at night. Taverns of all kinds are open and merchants and sailors from all over the world are enjoying their wines.
Occasionally, a drunken man will appear on the street and fall asleep on the ground, and thieves like such people the most. They can take the last copper plate from the drunken and turn them into destitute bastards with nothing.
David staggered out of the tavern, drunk and staggering to even walk. Staggering out of the tavern, he struggled to make the next direction.
Seeing the dock, he walked away drunkenly, still pouring rum into his mouth with a bottle as he went. When someone passes by him, he smells a smell of alcohol, and he says to himself: "It's all gone!" It's all robbed! ……”
A European woman in a dress grabbed the hobbling David and said in a coquettish voice: "Honorable gentleman, won't you invite me to a drink?" Two silver coins, as long as two silver coins all night I'll be yours! ”
"You're mine? Forehead! I've got two silver coins, as long as you call me the Great Captain!" ......" David was already a little delirious and was dragged into the alley by the woman.
After a muffled snort, the woman walked out of the alley. He had a bloody stone in his hand and a money bag.
"It's only thirty silver coins! The old lady thought she had slaughtered a fat sheep! With that, he threw away the stone and walked into the crowd to look for another target.
David woke up when he knew it was almost dawn, and touched the back of his head with his hand to remember what had happened last night. He couldn't help but curse vigorously, "Shet! Then he slowly walked towards the port.
He had come to the port of Ceylon two months earlier, and at that time he owned three ships of Ming cargo, and was a hot merchant here. However, as soon as his ship left the port, he was targeted by pirates, and David finally jumped into the sea and held the barrel before being rescued by other ships to Ceylon.
Fortunately, he still has some gold coins on him, so he will not starve to death in a foreign land. Since then, he has developed a penchant for going to the pier every day, hoping that several of his ships will miraculously appear in the port.
Although he was robbed of his coins by an abominable woman last night, David decided to go to the docks to have a look. What if his ship returns? What if God heard his prayers?
By the time he reached the docks, it was already dark. The mist rises from the sea, making it a paradise of beauty.
David looked at it for a while before he retracted his gaze regretfully, and after being disappointed countless times, he began to worry about today's lunch. Do you want to let him, a dignified captain, go to work as a coolie on the docks? Or do you want to be a sailor under someone?
Just as he was thinking about how to live in the future, a fleet of ships approached slowly on the sea in the distance. At the head of the fleet was the Dutch fleet stationed here, followed by many sea vessels.
David's heart was burning all at once, could it be that God heard his call? The Dutch defeated the pirates and recaptured the ships? As long as he can get his ship back, he believes that he will make a comeback one day.
He stared at the sea with wide eyes without blinking, and as the ships behind him approached, he finally saw the ships clearly. At the front were Arabian galleons, behind were armed merchant ships, and there were sea vessels carrying goods.
"Leyton! It's really the Layton! The moment he saw the Leyton, David couldn't help himself. God really heard his prayers, and his Leyden finally returned to the port of Ceylon.
The Leyton may look a little dilapidated, but that doesn't matter. As long as you hire a sailor to clean it, it will glow, and when the time comes, it will .......
Just as David fell into a fantasy, several warships led by him docked after the battle. David walked briskly towards the dock, he wanted to get his ship back as soon as possible.
Just as he had taken a dozen steps, David's pupils suddenly expressed, and an incredible expression appeared on his face.
He saw with his own eyes a sailor disembarking from the ship silently slashing a knife through the neck of a soldier who was guarding the docks.
Every time David went to the dock these days, he would say hello to this man, and it was such a soldier with an arquebus who was actually killed.
"Who are they?" Davy kept asking questions in his mind, his legs began to tremble, and his feet kept backing away.
