Although Captain Avik didn't understand what Zhao Ming said, from Zhao Ming's fierce and vicious expression, as well as the stick that held his head, he could be sure that if he didn't do anything, he would definitely be smashed in the head by the Chinese in front of him.The Spanish colonized for silver and gold, the Portuguese for spices and sugar cane, and the Dutch for reselling goods to make money.Since it is necessary to make money, there is obviously no need to work hard, so Avik hurriedly shouted, and the Dutch, who were still fighting on the deck, hesitated for a moment and put down their weapons one after another.The sailors immediately kicked their weapons aside, and with an excited expression, they controlled the remaining red hairs.I thought I was going to be thrown into the sea by the Red Hair, but I didn't want to control the Red Hair's warship instead, and according to the unwritten rules of the sea, after robbing a cargo ship, the sailors often got a lot of money.Seeing this, Zhao Ming nodded with satisfaction, "You are sensible!"
”Guo Zhong walked over with a knife and said in his ear: "General, how to deal with them, have they all been killed?"
”A Dutchman next to him changed his expression greatly, and suddenly said in Chinese with a Fujian flavor: "You can't do this, we are serious merchants of the East India Company, and we have a relationship with Taishi Zheng!"
”Zhao Ming was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at the Dutchman, and said with some surprise: "You can speak Chinese."
That's great!
”Saying that, Zhao Ming turned his head and instructed Guo Zhongdao: "Disarm them first, and then take care of them, these people are all valuable." ”After speaking, Zhao Ming walked towards the Dutchman with a sincere face, "You can rest assured, Daming treats the captives preferentially, I won't hurt you, and I have to thank you~haha~" Zhao Ming couldn't help laughing, this is the flagship of the navy, and there are free craftsmen, the Dutch are simply doing good deeds, being anxious for justice and righteousness, and solving people's urgent needs.This battleship is equipped with more than 40 guns, which exceeds all the warships of the Ming army, not even the Zheng family, let alone the Qing army's naval division.With this ship, it is enough to get more than a dozen lucky ships to form a fleet, and it is not a problem to crisscross the coast of eastern Zhejiang, and even rush into the mouth of the Yangtze River.These Dutch captives, who are also treasures, can become his craftsmen who cast instruments, of course, they don't have to be paid, that is, they are called by slaves, and if they can't complete their tasks, they will be punched and kicked, and they will also taste the taste of colonization.Zhao Ming looked at the Dutch in front of him and smiled, "What's your name?"
”The Dutchman only felt that the Chinese in front of him had a strange gaze, as if he had found some property, and from this gaze, he could be sure that this Chinese would indeed not want their lives.The Dutch saw Zhao Ming's proud appearance, and their hearts were annoyed, this time they were completely careless, otherwise it would be impossible to be defeated by the Chinese.However, it is useless to regret at this time, but to think about how to deal with the Chinese.The Dutchman quickly adapted to his status, and it was not a shameful thing to be captive in the West, he put one hand on his chest and bowed, "Your Excellency, contemptible Aoiichi, the East India Company business, I can write a letter to Taiwan, and the governor will raise a large sum of money to redeem us!"
So please keep us safe!
”"Your name is Aoiichi?"
Zhao Ming was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him was actually the governor of Taiwan who was defeated by Zheng Chenggong."
Your Excellency knows me?"
Aoi Yi was a little surprised, his eyes flickered, avoiding Zhao Ming's gaze."
Hehe~ I don't know, I just think your name is more interesting!"
Zhao Ming put the big stick on the ground, with a clear conscience, and bowed his head slightly, "Everyone is a gentleman, you tell them, don't resist, follow the general's orders, and this will guarantee your safety!"
”Aoichi: "I am willing to cooperate with you, but please allow me to write to the officer, and the company will give you a large sum of money to redeem us!"
”Zhao Ming was noncommittal, first asked people to drive all the Dutch into the cabin, take care of them, and then ordered someone to clean up the Dutch warship.At this time, the sailors began to clean up the corpses, and the hot weather on the southeast coast made the corpses not to be placed on the ship, as they would rot over time, causing epidemics, and the sailors who died in battle and the slain Hongmaoyi were all thrown into the sea.There are great opportunities for maritime trade, and there are also great risks, so since you choose to go to sea, you must be prepared for this.After disposing of the corpses and bandaging the wounded, they began to clean up the equipment and supplies on the ship, Yan Yingyuan took the people and went down to the cabin, and found that there were a lot of goods inside, including nearly 10,000 Spanish silver coins, as well as tobacco and spices.At this time, Zhao Ming was playing with the captured flintlock pistol, but Guo Zhong came over and reminded: "General, the power of Hongmaoyi on the sea is second only to the Zheng family, if we let Hongmaoyi know that we have captured their ships, we will definitely not rest."
The general must not let Hongmaoyi send a message to the general. ”Zhao Ming put down the flintlock pistol, Guo Zhong obviously still wanted to kill him, which made Zhao Ming think, "Do you think Hongmaoyi will retaliate after knowing about this?"
”Guo Zhong nodded, "This ship alone is worth a lot of money, plus the goods and people on board, the Dutch will definitely try to recapture it!"
”Zhao Ming's face sank, Aoi repeatedly proposed to let the East India Company ransom people, it is estimated that there is no good intention, with the strength of Jintang Island, it is obviously not the opponent of the Dutch, once the Dutch know that it is he who seized the Dutch merchant ships, Jintang Island will be in danger.The Dutch warship, though tempting, would also bring a great hidden danger to possessing it.Although the Dutch are not as good as the Zheng family, their power in the East China Sea and the South China Sea is far from being comparable to Zhao Ming.While possessing the Dutch warship, Zhao Ming also faced the danger of being attacked by the Dutch.Zhao Ming squinted his eyes and groaned, "The ship has been taken away, and it is impossible to return it!"
”Zhao Ming paused as he spoke, "Now it seems that this ship can't go to Fujian, it must sail to Jintang Island and hide!"
”When it came to the meat in his mouth, how could Zhao Ming give up, he looked at Guo Zhong and said, "Can you drive this warship back!"
”Guo Zhong frowned slightly, "This ship is very complicated to operate, and there are so many Hongmaoyi prisoners on board, I'm afraid it will be very difficult!"
”Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about the captives, those natives can be killed directly, and the remaining Hongmaoyi will be locked in the cabin, starving them and not letting them come out." ”Guo Zhong shuddered when he heard this, but still nodded.Zhao Ming then asked people to find a man and asked him to write a letter, saying that he would send someone to the big man and ask for a ransom from the East India Company, and then he locked the Dutch in the cabin, sealed it with a wooden plank, leaving only a small window for food and water, and let the Japanese samurai Hijikata Shishiro monitor day and night.Among the natives on the ship, Guo Zhong left a few who could steer the sails, and the rest helped carry the supplies from the Dutch ship onto the Fu ship, and they stayed on the Fu ship.At the moment, the people on the Fu boat were divided into two groups, one team was led by Guo Zhong, controlled the Heyi warship, and quietly returned to Jintang Island, while Zhao Ming and Yan Yingyuan carried the Fu boat to the west and continued to Fujian.Therefore, the ship was damaged, and most of the sailors on board were reduced, and the ship sailed for a day, barely approaching the mainland, but it did not reach Fujing, but went ashore in Wenzhou.Although Guo Zhong left behind a few natives who could handle the sails, the navigation was not smooth, so it was inconvenient to operate the boat, and it took more than ten days to return to Jintang Island, which attracted the attention of Zhoushan.
