Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 721 World Torrent
What does rape mean getting raped?

The boarding battle began at 03:30 p.m. on the deck of the tea, and continued until the sun was about to set at five o'clock. However, the main battlefield was transferred from the deck of the tea to the pirate ship next to it.

"Ready, aim, let go!"

The messy corpses were piled up on the deck, and the pirates were unable to raise their heads under the pressure of a row of ping-pong-pong gunfire, so they all retracted to the lower gun bay and locked the entrance with a large chain.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the captain Yang Yong, who occupied the commanding heights, sniped and killed the pirate captain, the first mate, the second mate, and the helmsman who stepped forward bravely. I have never encountered such a ferocious merchant ship in my life. Under the dense bullets, the beaten and crying father and mother fled back to their own ship.

Then, the tea crew followed naturally.

Looking at the tightly locked hatch, Mr. Xu wanted to go up with a gun in his hand, but Zhao Houzi, who had lost his leg, stretched out his hand and grabbed him.

"You're so confused, don't you want to die?"

"Find a cannon and blast the motherfucker!"

There were not many things on the deck of the pirate ship, only a lot of guns were shot, so he pulled out a door and filled it with gunpowder, and retreated to the door of the deck. A little bit towards Pao's ass, and he ran away. Almost at the same time, the pirates in the cabin seemed to utter several curses.

However, a large group of sailors were watching nervously, and the cannon smoked for a long time and went out.

"Fucking old stick, you're blind with a broken hand, can't you find a good gun?"

"I don't know where to go!" Listening to Zhao Houzi's cursing, Old Stick Xu also yelled angrily.

Zhao Yong, who has joined the Disabled People's Alliance, watched his two old comrades-in-arms arguing, and said helplessly.

"Pull another cannon!"

"Not yet!"

"Go and go!"

Both of them lacked legs, and he had to lack hands like this to work. Hearing Zhao Houzi's triumphant cry, Old Stick Xu scolded his mother and called out sadly to some new eggs who looked stupid. Sailors, go pick the cannon again.

But just as these guys were humming and helping the flying pirate cannons up, the door of the rear ship building of the pirates, which was still tight just now, creaked open, and two dirty pirates walked out with mournful faces and hands raised. , knelt down on the ground, gua-la-gua-la spoke a ghostly language for a while.

"Brother Yong, what did he say?"

"Where do I go?" Looking at his subordinates who were looking at each other in blank dismay, Yang Yong, who looked down like a god just now, also scratched his head sadly.

Just when Yang Yong was in embarrassment, a small hand suddenly and arrogantly grabbed his clothes and pushed them aside. He put the windbreaker on the back like a female pirate, and Qiao Yan bent down with the arrogance of a queen. There was a ghost talk, and the two ghosts who heard it nodded again and again. One of them turned back and retreated into the cabin. After a while, the remaining 90 dirty pirates held their weapons high above their heads and walked out dejectedly.

"What did he say?"

It's amazing. Seeing the pirate machetes and firecrackers thrown all over the floor, Yang Yong was really confused, he leaned over to ask stupidly, and turned his head to see a dozen sailors coming over like silly babies. Shi Qiaoyan felt complacent but couldn't help it, he put his clothes on his proud shoulders and hugged his arms, and his small mouth was still pouted.

"Hmph, do you still need Miss Ben?"

"What did you say! My eldest lady!"

"Who is your eldest lady!"

…………

It is said that businessmen are unrighteous, but this time the Porcelain should really be scolded. Seeing that the two companions were stuck by the pirate ship, it actually ran away. Fortunately, the ending was not bad. The skeleton flag fell like a dried-out fish, and the other pirate ship panicked. It didn't care to continue attacking the merchant ships that were still desperately resisting. It even left behind a few pirates who were too late to go back, set up its sails and fled westward.

The two merchant ships discussed it, and they did not continue to go north or south at such a late hour. They anchored on the spot, and the two ships pulled into a straight line, defending carefully, and sandwiched the captured pirate ship and pirates in the middle. After this dangerous night, early in the morning of the next day, on the sea level, the huge body of the Mayflower's unique double five-masts was slowly exposed in the rising sun.

This time, the Merchant Ship composed of Jingde merchants was added to the loss list. The fleet searched north for two days, but there was no sign of this ship in the vast sea. The danger in Shanghai, fleet commander Shi Long had no choice but to Abandoning this merchant ship, he continued to supervise the fleet's eastward march, and finally arrived at the west coast of America again in December three days later, the San Francisco Peninsula named by the Spaniards, San Francisco City.

Although San Francisco at this time was not comparable to the big cities of the later generations of the United States, it was by no means the barrenness of the Spanish era. There were only small fishing villages and outposts, along the edge of the peninsula, and on the side of the later Golden Gate Bridge, a neat stone fortress The coast is protected safely, and there are heavy cannons protruding towards the sea. The spiritual colonial infantry patrols back and forth with guns on their backs. The fleet sails along the inner side of the peninsula into the bay. The first batch of more than 5000 immigrants are still somewhat integrated. The local Indians, Spaniards, and British in the community immediately surrounded the port with great excitement.

Steel tools, weapons, sugar, clothing and other daily necessities were brought down in boxes and boxes. The colony was as cheerful as a festival. The newly arrived immigrant miners disembarked in a daze, and were immediately taken by the pioneers enthusiastically to the place where they had already been. The built residential area, the distribution of houses, the four great joys of China, meeting old friends in a foreign land, and now wandering alone overseas, every local accent is extremely cordial no matter whether they know it or not.

But in the Governor's Mansion, a fortress built on the outermost cliff of the peninsula, the atmosphere is not so relaxed.

Colonial veterans Gao Hongtu, Lu Daqi, etc., Governor Zheng Shouli, fleet commander Shi Hu, captain of the Tengyun Ship Liu Zhan, and a large number of executives gathered around the big round table in the Governor's Mansion with stern expressions. Qiao Yan, who was wearing bandages, and Yang Yong, who had a new wooden leg, were also honored to be among them.

The flags, seals, documents they seized on the pirate ship, and the clothes pulled out from the dead pirate captain, personal items, a lot of things are piled up in the middle of the table, but next to these things, the other one is different The flag and the same pile of things were placed aside.

This is what was removed from the Japanese ship that attacked the San Francisco colony last time.

"It doesn't look like a group of Tibetans!" Looking at the two different flags, Governor Zheng Shouli shook his head in disappointment, while Gao Hongtu next to him stomped on the ground angrily and cursed.

"This group of barbarians are obsessed with interests, and they are really forgetful. If you want me to tell you, you should confine the port and stop contacting these savages who drink blood, so as not to ruin the hearts of the people!"

"When these ruthless and blood-drinking beasts come over, let's just turn our eyes black. According to what you said, old man Gao, the San Francisco colony is no longer there. If everyone just returns to China, the world will be peaceful!"

After following Song Qingshu for a long time, Qiaoyan was out of tune with this kind of old master in terms of vision, and immediately pushed back with sharp words, Gao Hongtu stared angrily, while Lu Daqi next to him spoke to persuade that only women and villains are difficult to raise, Pulling him aside, a few rotten scholars did not affect the continuation of the meeting. Looking at the pile of things, Shi Hu also shook his head in embarrassment.

"According to the command of the high command, my fleet is obliged to defend the colony. Since there are foreigners attacking my colony, and there are also pirates cruising in the open sea, this time I will leave Tengyun and other five battleships behind?"

"Don't underestimate these foreigners. This flag belongs to the Western Netherlands, and this one belongs to the Western Kingdom of France, both of which are major Western countries, and the two seals are official official seals issued by the king or their parliament. Pirates are not ordinary pirates, they are all regular navies of these countries. This is a contest at the national level. Our colonial wealth must have attracted the envy of some vassal states. It is estimated that there will be a relatively large war, and the commander must be notified. .”

"And these two!"

From those vassal documents, Qiaoyan picked out two in particular, put them on the table, and showed them to Zheng Shouli and Shi Hu.

"This is a private plunder certificate issued by the Western vassal state, which allows them to plunder other countries' merchant ships and sell the spoils in the colonies and local ports. I am afraid that many greedy people are staring at our merchant ships like wolves. Recently, the colonies have reached the Spaniards. Merchant ships in the Mexican colonies, be careful!"

"Damn it, I said why the Harbor Merchant Ship didn't come back for so long, most likely it was murdered!" Zheng Shouli slapped the table angrily again, while Gao Hongtu who was beside him shook his head in shock.

"It's really a blood-drinking generation. The dignified court actually supports the pirates to rob. If they can do everything in the future, such a court will die sooner or later!"

"The fact is that these imperial courts have not yet died, and they have stretched from the European Mediterranean to India and even Southeast Asia. They occupy a vast territory and wealth. Now my Ming Dynasty has just started!"

Unfortunately, Gao Hongtu gasped heavily for Qiaoyan's disdainful sentence.

The hostility of these western powers towards Daming obviously made the people here feel nervous. After studying the map for a long time, Shi Hu left ten battleships, increased the colonial fleet to twelve, and contacted the Spaniards in nearby Mexico to work together. Fight against pirates from France, Holland, Portugal and more.

However, the expedition team on the road did not stop, and several agricultural points were established near the coastal mountains. After the trade point, the Governor's Mansion also planned to organize a Wu army rebel army who came this time, the Han Eight Banners captured last time, Mongols, etc. Formed, an advance team of about 500 people browsed the Coastal Mountains, explored the Sierra Nevada and the Great North American Basin in the middle.

The Colonial Governor's Office still holds a conservative attitude, not to do anything first, to expand the living area inland, and to ensure its own safety. As for the trend of the war and the global strategy, the Mayflower must return to Daming and get Song Qingshu's order. implement.

However, these have nothing to do with Qiaoyan and the others for the time being. Qiaoyan left the Governor’s Mansion easily after handing in a job. At the same time, he was still muttering about buying a legendary Spaniard to see what it looks like. .

But when they came out of the governor's mansion together, Yang Yong kept frowning, as if he was making a violent decision in his heart, and couldn't make a decision for a long time.

"Hey! What are you thinking? This lady has saved your life several times! You don't want to repay me, so you don't want to find an excuse to hide! This is not what a big man did!"

As soon as he walked to the lively market below the castle, Yang Yong almost fell to the ground with a sudden slap, turned his head sadly, and looked at Qiao Yan's angry look, pouting his mouth, but Yang Yong was He simply asked out the things that had been pressing in his heart.

"Qiaoyan, what happened to the private plunder certificate just now?"
