Chapter 58 One-sided
"Dong Xianggong, that skilled man is in the back cabin. This guy is very arrogant. When I went to find him, he didn't even raise his head."
Dong Liang smiled and patted Chen Deli on the shoulder and said, "Brother Chen, let's go and take a look together."
Dong Liang asked everyone to go back and continue to clean up with the township party, and at the same time convey the grouping information.
Dong Liang followed Chen Deli to the back cabin, followed by the first mate Richard.
Most of the people on the boat were mediocre laborers. It was not easy for Dong Liang to meet a master. How could Dong Liang let him go?
Time traveled to the second year of Xianfeng, how could Dong Liang become a good citizen of the Qing Dynasty?
This is an era of rebellion!
Hong Xiucai from Guangxi is probably about to attack Jiangning City now, right?
…
There is lime on the ship. After cleaning the cabin and spreading the lime, the unforgettable stench is much reduced.
Kang Laoba was still sitting cross-legged in the corner of the cabin.
He is different from everyone on this ship. They were all deceived into getting on the ship, but he took the initiative to get on the ship.
Not all people who go to sea do it to make money, they may also do it to avoid disasters.
But he didn't expect these foreigners to be so cruel.
The fierce battle on the deck during the day happened suddenly. Kang Laoba took action not to help Dong Liang, but to save himself.
If it weren't for Dong Liang's shots, Kang Laoba would have been killed today.
So when Dong Liang appeared, he put away his pride and stood up.
"I've met my benefactor."
Dong Liang deserves a word of benefactor from Kang Laoba, and a man in the Jianghu family has clear grievances and grievances.
Dong Liang looked at Chen Deli, who understood and took Richard aside.
"My benefactor, please accept Mr. Kang's obeisance."
Dong Liang did not expect that the other party would call him that, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be like this, Mr. Kang Ba."
"No, my benefactor, I, Kang Ba, have traveled around the world for many years and have never owed anyone a favor. It was my benefactor who saved me on the deck today, so I should thank you."
"Master Kang, please get up. Just call me Dong Liang. Today I saw that Master Kang is very skilled. I don't know why he ended up in this piggy boat."
"Alas..." Kang Baye let out a long sigh.
He was originally from Tianjin, and because he was the eighth oldest, he was known as Kang Baye.
This person has been quite talented in martial arts since he was a child and has learned martial arts from many famous teachers.
He became famous far and wide at the age of eighteen. Later, his family was framed and his entire family was executed.
Kang Baye hides his name to avenge his family, and he himself has been wanted by the government.
Later, he simply became a big thief who robbed the rich and gave to the poor.
He walked alone, robbed money but never killed anyone, and never used the money he gained for his own enjoyment.
Gradually he made a name for himself in the world, and almost everyone on the Zhili Road knew about Kang Baye.
This time he offended a big shot that he shouldn't offend, so he had no choice but to escape to a foreigner's ship and prepare to go to sea to avoid the limelight.
"Eighth Master, if you can trust me, Dong Liang, we will be friends from now on. To be honest, if we robbed the foreigner's ship, it will be difficult for Ansheng to live in the future."
"Foreigners are so powerful that the local officials are so humble to them. If this matter gets out, the local officials will definitely stand up for the foreigners. How can they care about me and other common people?"
"Then why did Mr. Dong send the ship back? We, Yang Fan, went to sea and were free and at ease." Kang Baye asked puzzledly, didn't Dong Liang and the others just throw themselves into a trap by doing this?
"Kang Baye, the people on the boat are all farm men. We know that, but they don't understand. Most people think that the government will help them. I plan to send the big guys to Dongfan Island, and then distribute the expenses for everyone to go back.
There may not be a list of piglets at home or in the imperial court, and besides, as long as the news about the foreigners cannot be spread back, it will be fine."
"Then Mr. Dong, what are your plans?" Kang Ba asked.
"It's not bad to make a living on the sea with brothers who don't want to go back. At least it's comfortable." Dong Liang's plan played into Kang Ba's mind.
In fact, Dong Liang's idea is far more ambitious than this, but he can't talk about it yet.
"Then Kangba will follow Mr. Dong. The East China Sea is indeed a good place."
"Thank you Mr. Kang Ba for your trust in Dong." Dong Liang said.
Dong Liang had just seen the skill of Master Kang Ba, and he felt ashamed of himself.
It would be a help if you keep him by your side.
"Kang Ba Ye, Dong is going to set up a escort team on the ship, and he also asked Ba Ye to come forward as a coach." Dong Liang said with a cup of his hands.
"Kangba was eating Xianggong Dong's food on the ship, so he should naturally help, so he followed Xianggong Dong's words."
"Xianggong Dong, those kids are still young. Now that Xianggong Dong has become the captain, I wonder if I can take care of them. Since Xianggong is a scholar, he always needs a few boys to help him."
Kang Baye pointed at the five and a half-year-old children not far away and said, they should all be under ten years old.
"Does Master Kang know them?"
"Well, that's not the case. It's just that when they were bullied in the pig house, Kang protected them for a while, and then they were sent to this ship together."
Several of the children had dirty heads and dirty faces. They were not yet old enough to wear braids, and their hair was sticky and sticky.
Dong Liang walked over, and several children raised their clear eyes and looked at Dong Liang warily.
"You guys can stay with me in the captain's cabin. The conditions there are better."
The children did not speak, but followed Dong Liang out of the cabin.
There were dozens of sick people on the ship, and Dong Liang asked Lin Ben to help arrange them in the sailor's cabin.
There are hammocks there, and the ventilation conditions should be better. In addition, they should be given more nutrition. Whether they can survive depends on their own luck.
The foreign sailors now each have six or seven apprentices behind them, and they have to live with their apprentices.
Every sailor is surrounded by Chinese workers, so nothing can happen again.
…
"How did you kids sell yourselves to the ship?"
At night, there were only Dong Liang, Richard, Dong Xingfu and five or six Tongan nationality guards in the huge captain's cabin.
Richard had to deal with the problems that might be encountered during night sailing, and Dong Liang was the only translator.
Therefore, the two of them must stay together. If something happens, Chen Deli will bring the foreign sailors to the captain's cabin to report.
The five children have not said a word until now.
When Dong Liang was helping several children bathe just now, he noticed that they were all strong and strong, and they did not seem to look like ordinary farm children.
"We were playing together at the entrance of the village and were abducted to Xiamen by human traffickers." Finally a boy spoke.
This boy called himself Zhuo Lang, but his accent was not that of southern Fujian, but that of Dinghai.
"Are you from Zhejiang Province?"
Several children nodded.
The child who spoke was the smallest among the five, but the other four were always around him.
Li Sixing was a man of two generations, and he was old enough to be someone's grandfather.
Of course, you can tell at a glance that the child is lying.
However, he didn't ask any more questions, fearing that he was a child from a wealthy family and wouldn't want to reveal the real information.
It shows that this child is smart enough and worried that people like Dong Liang will use them for ransom.
After all, Dong Liang and the others even dared to kill foreigners.
The ship was at sea for three days, and the Western Pacific was relatively calm in February.
No big storms were encountered.
Dong Liang spent most of his time training the guards.
They only had dozens of guns, and Dong Liang could only let them take turns to get familiar with them.
I also found some spare wood from the ship and made some wooden spears.
Dong Liang was responsible for teaching shooting and military formation, while Kang Ba was responsible for teaching the team members boxing and kicking skills.
People in the sailor group and life group also participate in training in their free time.
The ship originally needed to go to Guam to obtain supplies, so the supplies on the ship were quite sufficient.
It can meet everyone's needs for at least half a month.
