Perhaps because Nanman ships are still a new thing, many travelers always stop and take a closer look when they pass by. When Kiragi saw a few monks standing in the crowd silently chanting sutras, they probably regarded the Nanman people as demons.
It means praying to gods and Buddhas to protect believers from being deceived.
"Let's go! Let's go and take a look first!" Watanabe Takatsuna and Yamaoka Zenjiro were guarding the left and right, and a dozen people were blocking the way. Kira Yoshitoki and his group of more than a dozen people quickly squeezed past along with the flow of people, and reached the crowd.
Only then did I realize that I was watching something lively in front of me, but I didn't know what was going on.
One of the townspeople shouted excitedly: "Look! The yellow-haired Nanman and the red-haired Nanman seem to be quarreling!"
"Idiot! You just know it! I've been watching it all morning, but I just can't understand what they are arguing about." Another town citizen said proudly.
"Since you don't understand what you are proud of!"
"You bastard, say something else!" Before the fight broke out among the Nanman people above, the two idiots below hugged each other and started fighting. Some children were making noises there, which made the Nanman people on the dock think they were cheering for themselves, but instead they started making noises.
The more fierce.
Kira Yoshishi stared for a long time with his eyes wide open and suddenly exclaimed: "Hey! There seems to be a Nanban Loli in that crowd! It looks like they are in a bad situation!"
Kira Yoshishi rolled his eyes, and called to Yamaoka Shichang to lean over and whisper a few words. The latter nodded, coughed twice, and shouted: "Everyone, please give way! We are following the orders of everyone in the house to investigate the Nanman ship fight.
!”
After shouting several times, it really worked. The townspeople who were watching the excitement quickly made way for them to pass. How could the simple townspeople think that someone was pretending to be the order of the people in the house, especially when they saw that these dozen people all had swords on their waists and hips, and their whole temperament
They were completely different from ordinary people, especially the leading man, who was tall and burly. He stood like a giant rock and gave the townspeople who were watching the excitement a sense of suffocating oppression.
After squeezing through the crowd, I saw that the numbers of the two groups of Nanman were unequal. The one with more people was bullying the one with fewer people and was arguing about something unknown. Seeing the unkind expressions of the Nanman sailors, Kira Yoshiki ordered Yamaoka
Tokugawa Tokugawa continued to play, and Yamaoka Tokkichang lived up to expectations and walked up to the two groups of southern barbarians, put his hands on his hips and shouted: "Hey! You southern barbarians, listen! We are ordered to supervise the port affairs. According to the regulations of the Sakai Town Law, no one is allowed to be in the port.
Gathering a crowd to cause trouble! No matter what your reasons are, disperse immediately!"
The two groups of southern barbarians were confused and stood there for a while. There was a yellow man in the group with more people. One of the middle-aged businessmen was translating in a low voice. After a while, the translator with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks hesitated a little.
He walked out and said respectfully: "Our ship owner is Sir Francisco Abelta from the Spanish Empire. He wants to establish equal trade relations with your Chamber of Commerce. I don't know..."
"I don't understand what you are talking about. Let your captain go to Nakano Town to talk to our leader! I say it again, you will disperse immediately!" Yamaoka Tokinaga waved his hand impatiently, interrupting the translator's tirade, and continued to drive away.
They dispersed.
"Okay, okay! Let's leave now!" The translator quickly bowed and ran back. After a while, the siege of the Nanman people slowly dispersed. The Spanish knight also nodded slightly to Yamagata Toshiro, asking Kiragi
Sometimes I was holding back my laughter.
Seeing that there was no excitement to be seen, the townspeople slowly dispersed. As Kira Yoshishi and others were about to leave, the little Lolita who had been hiding in the crowd suddenly ran over to stop him. When he got closer, he realized that he was still a blonde.
The little loli is as cute as a doll, with blue eyes, long eyelashes, a small nose and pink lips. She gestured towards Kiragi and said: "%￥*@!"
"I don't understand!" Kira Yoshichi scratched his head and tried to ask in less than standard Nanman dialect: "Can you understand English?"
"Okay! Oh! God! I finally met someone with whom I can communicate! It really scared me just now! God bless! All this is finally over." The little blond loli breathed out, crossed her hands and prayed.
"Okay, this is not the place for chatting. You can come with me." Kiragi shrugged and was about to pull the little blond loli away when a middle-aged Nanman man behind him shouted something, asking the little blond loli to
I stopped and hesitated to talk to the middle-aged man for a few words, and the middle-aged man came over on his own initiative.
"Hello! My name is Frank Agote, and this is my niece Claudia of York! We are from the Netherlands, thank you for helping us!" A bearded middle-aged man named Frank said softly.
He bowed to thank Kira Yoshi for helping him.
"Oh! The Netherlands? That's great! You have traveled halfway around the world to the Western Pacific, right? What a great journey! I would like to personally welcome you! Mr. Frank Agot, and the beautiful lady
! You can call me Joseph, Joseph of the East, please come this way! I think we should have a chat." Kiragi was so happy that he even changed into Nanman dialect much more smoothly.
I took two people and a dozen sailors following me to the Nanman Commercial Building located in Tennojiya. This is a two-story building with a strong Portuguese atmosphere. This is the privilege that Tsuda Soutai promised, and it is not in vain.
, the steward who was guarding the Nanman Merchant Store saw Yamaoka Shichang showing the warrant given by Tsuda Soki, so he went back and continued to sleep. This Nanman Merchant Store had hardly been used since it was first established. Since it was a distinguished guest who wanted to requisition him, he would not use it.
Will be nosy.
During the chat on the road, I learned that it was a Dutch merchant ship to be precise. The adventurous Dutch followed the Portuguese fleet to East Asia, but it was obvious that the Portuguese did not welcome them, but the Dutch
People told these Portuguese that they and the King of Spain share the same king, that is, the great Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire, also known as Carlos I of Spain.
Kira Yoshihi took the two southern barbarians, one big and one small, to the second floor, leaving all his entourage downstairs. A lot of thought had obviously been put into the exquisite furnishings in the building, and the Western mechanical clock was clicking.
There are also some unknown books in the exquisite bookcase, a crooked globe, and an exquisite wine cabinet.
"Oh! This is such a good place! I never thought I could find the feeling of home in the far east. This place is great! I like it very much!" Frank Agot praised loudly, and his exaggerated expression attracted the attention of the little blond lolita.
There was a chuckle.
"Thank you for the compliment! If you have the opportunity, please go to Kyoto for a walk. Walking there may give you some new feelings." Kira Yoshishi politely thanked him for the compliment, and then asked impatiently: "Mr. Frank, can you tell me
How did you get here? If I remember correctly, the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific should be the territory of the Spanish and Portuguese. I think you understand what I mean."
"Oh! Yes! Those damn bastards have taken over the whole world, and they won't even let us enter the Atlantic Ocean. They are a group of arrogant and unreasonable upstarts! We paid taxes and followed the Spanish route to buy some local specialties.
, and then transported it to the next destination. We did this a few times to barely break even. This is the last stop. We plan to return the same way after selling the goods."
Frank complained endlessly about his difficult journey, the attack of violent storms, and the unfortunate fact that a ship sank to the bottom of the sea forever. What was even more terrifying was the entanglement of plague and scurvy. The fleet was constantly racing along the way.
The attrition finally brought them to the beautiful Western Pacific. Japan will be their last stop. From here, they will return along the original route, cross the Cape of Good Hope and finally return to Europe.

PS: I am familiar with Agot, but who is the blond lolita? Guess the identity of this blond lolita!
The blonde loli said that there must be no shortage of collections and recommendation votes!
