Chapter 1,265: The convergence of fate, the bravest Columbus is captured!
"How could it be the Castilian navy? How could they suddenly appear in Tagus Bay and crash into the Portuguese port of Lisbon like crazy?... Lord! How could the two kings of Iberia suddenly appear in the Bay of Tagus and crash into the Portuguese port of Lisbon like crazy?
Is there another war with King Joao?…”
Outside the port of Lisbon, a large Castilian ship collided like a bullfight, with the Portuguese navy pursuing it. The large and small merchant ships along the way fled in panic, and they had already become ants on a soup pot. The captain and sailors at sea were yelling and full of curses.
With panic on their faces, several ships collided with each other. The merchants and nobles on the shore were astonished, and they all stopped and stared at this rare spectacle.
Upstairs, the old knight Lorenzo clenched his fists and looked solemn. After conquering the Moors of the peninsula, the two kings of Iberia were holding a huge army that had never been seen before. This Castile
The strength of the army is far stronger than that of the Portuguese army. However, once a war breaks out on the peninsula, the Portuguese will never sit still and wait for death. The English will inevitably join the war as Portugal's allies, and the French will be ready to take action. The church and the Italian states will
Bangdu will be involved...
"O Lord! The city-state republic really hopes to use the power of the Kingdom of Castile to put pressure on the Kingdom of Portugal's coinage operation. After all, the power of gold coins must not be controlled by the Portuguese... We are also willing to support Castile
People, colonize the southern continent, and bring gold back to the commercial city-states... But a war on the peninsula, a war within the Catholic world, is definitely not what we want now!..."
"No matter who wins or loses, the situation on the peninsula will completely change. There will be a winner who takes all, and then the balance will no longer be possible. And the Kingdom of Castile cannot do what it did to the Moors, in the same Catholic world.
The Kingdom of Portugal tries heretics, captures slaves, and extracts wealth... This war will cause their finances to collapse and they will not be able to pay back our money! Our debts will turn into terrible bad debts!..."
The worries of the Venetians are like the rocks on the seashore, which cannot stop the raging waves at all. Accompanied by the surging waves, the full-sailed Santa Maria is like arrows shot by barbarians. Although it is tattered and swaying, it has no reaction.
Gu moved forward at full speed. Behind it, a violent Portuguese caravel had already mounted a dozen matchlock guns and wanted to fire on the "pirates" on the big ship, but the other party raised its flag to identify itself.
Stopped by action!
"It is indeed a Castilian spy ship! It is indeed a cunning Castilian spy. He actually took advantage of the night to travel eastward, jumped out of the naval encirclement, and even escaped to the port of the Kingdom Navy! This is really a complete provocation. It is
The navy's shame must be washed away with blood! ...No, that's not right! This is not the disorderly open sea, let alone the wild southern continent, this is the port of Lisbon!"
"Damn it! Haroldo, put up the muzzle, stop shooting, stop! We can't directly shoot the Castilian navy and the nobles they may have on board in front of so many pairs of eyes! This will
Causing big trouble..."
On the caravel, Bruno clenched the captain's sword and stood on the bow with an angry look, his eyes fixed on the stern of Clark's galleon. More than a dozen Portuguese soldiers were holding matchlock guns, aiming at the enemy ship dozens of steps away.
But he raised his gun and stopped.
"Damn it! The crazy Castilians will hit the trestle soon... Put on your scimitar and prepare to join the gang! Try to catch as many alive as possible!..."
"Yes! Captain!..."
On the Clark galleon in front, the helmsman De La Cosa faced the smoking matchlocks, his heart beating violently, as if he was wandering at the door of hell. He couldn't help swallowing, and turned around to look
Towards the bow of the big ship. There, "Commander of the Navy" Columbus stood straight on the bow with his neck cocked, dressed in dirty but bright noble clothes, straddling the commander's sword given by the Queen!
At this moment, De La Cosa couldn't see Columbus's pale face, nor his clenched teeth, trembling fingers, or sweaty undershirt. He could only see the commander's proud back, and even
Some are heroic and fearless, like the "White Knight Tiran", the Breton hero who led the Byzantine army to defeat the Ottomans in the latest Valencian knight novel.
"Ah! Brave Commander Columbus... If we can be lucky enough to be ransomed by the Queen and escape from the Portuguese prison as you said... then you will be my eternal commander! I will definitely keep you forever.
I won’t plot your position at all!…O Lord! If you’re not strong enough in life, you really can’t take the position of commander of the kingdom’s exploration fleet…”
"Holy Mother! It's about to hit... it's about to hit..."
"Avoid it quickly, avoid it!..."
"It's too late to slow down...Hold on to the cable!..."
"Wow! Castilians not only perform bullfights, but also perform boat fights!"
"Boom! Bang!...Crack!..."
Under the watch of the people on the shore, and amid the exclamations of the captain and sailors, the large sailing ship St. Mary finally crashed into the pier! The violent impact caused the sailors on the entire ship to fall to the ground, on the deck.
It rolled into a gourd. And the harsh sound of the planks breaking not only represented the destruction of the trestle, but also indicated the breakage of the ship's planks: the Clark schooner, which had been overwhelmed for a long time, directly hit a large water-filled hole in the bow of the ship.
!
"Damn it! I actually crashed the pier at the port...Quickly! Get closer! Get closer! I must capture these damn Castilian gangsters before the king!..."
Dozens of steps away, Bruno shouted angrily, led the heavily armed navy soldiers, commanded the caravel, and moved directly to the St. Mary that had collided with the ship. It seemed that it would not take long before he would be the first to board the enemy ship.
ship, knock down and capture all these daring Castilian bandits...
"Ahem! Bah! Merda! Vaffanculo! Bah!..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At the bow of the ship, Columbus climbed up with difficulty, spitting blood and wood slag in his mouth, and cursed in succession. And this kind of curse
The process, like some kind of priest's prayer ceremony, gave him the courage to stand up bit by bit, and brought him stubborn and crazy strength...
"Minchia! Diamine! I'm finally back, I've finally reached the shore! Ahaha! I finally came back alive from the purgatory deep in the sea with the news of the new sea route! Ahaha!..."
Columbus cursed, laughed, shouted, and even shed tears. He was like a paranoid madman, dancing on the bow of the ship that crashed like a cliff. He looked around the prosperous Lisbon port, enjoying the sight of thousands of people.
The surprised look of a madman, as if he had returned to his real stage, back home!
"Quick! Jump on the bow of the ship! Catch the beautifully dressed Castilian captain!..."
It is a pity that the time back home is always short, and the happy days cannot last long... Then make yourself happier and crazier, and let the whole world of God go crazy with happiness!...
At this moment, in front of the onlookers of Lisbon, in front of the surprised Venetian merchants, in front of the gang-hopping Portuguese soldiers, in front of the resisting Castilian sailors, Columbus raised his head and took a deep breath. Then,
He suddenly took out a roll of nautical charts and a piece of shiny gold from his tightly covered arms! He just raised his hands in the air. The left hand was the secret of the new western sea route, and the right hand was the secret of Sipangu Island.
Wealth, so crazy and fanatical, used all the strength in his chest to roar at the top of his lungs at the thousands of people at the port.
"I! Don Christopher Columbus, the naval commander of Castile, was the first great navigator to reach the East! I discovered a new route to the East, just in the west of the Atlantic Ocean!..."
"According to the order of the Queen, I arrived at the large island of Sipangu in Japan, where gold and silver are everywhere! I dedicated the new route to the East, as well as the territory discovered and occupied by the East, to the great and glorious Isabella
Queen!…"
"Ahaha! I am the first person to discover the new route to the East! My name will be engraved in history forever, better than countless stupid Portuguese scholars, better than all Portuguese sailing captains, and better than all of you retarded idiots
All strong!…”
Columbus shouted loudly, shouting like crazy! He first shouted in Portuguese, making everyone watching at the port stand stunned. He shouted again in Spanish, praising the Queen's wisdom loudly.
, which made the surviving Castilian sailors burst into tears. Finally, he shouted loudly in the Italian language of the city-state, the native language of his birth, which made the Jewish merchants and Venetian knights watching from a distance open their mouths in shock.
, directly turned into a giraffe in the southern continent...
Before the jumping Portuguese soldiers pounced on him, De La Cosa quickly got out of the cabin and grabbed the only Taino villager who survived the several days of struggle and escape, "Smart Potato", to the deck.
Then, he pulled Susui's hair, revealing a yellow-skinned face that was very different from everyone else in the port, and a face that was extremely frightened, and shouted loudly to all the onlookers.
"Yes, the Lord has witnessed! We traveled thousands of kilometers to the west and arrived at the large island of Sipangu in Japan, and brought back the local natives! ... Look! He is a yellow-skinned native! He is a native of Eastern India!
He looks different from us!…”
"Ahaha! I, Don Christopher Columbus, discovered a new route to the East! Ahaha!... Uh! Ah..."
"boom!…"
Bruno flew up with a fierce kick and kicked Columbus, who was screaming wildly, to the deck. Then, he turned the hilt of his sword and struck Columbus's only remaining ear with a fierce blunt blow, causing the opponent to shut up in pain.
Finally, he pulled out a dirty rag and stuffed it into Columbus's mouth, turning this noisy "great navigator" who claimed to have discovered a new sea route into a silent prisoner. Then,
He looked fiercely at Dracosa, who was holding the Taino villagers...
"Ah! I surrender, surrender!"
Dela Cosa consciously let go of his hands, lowered his head and squatted down to surrender. Boatswain Haroldo took out the rope, tied him up skillfully, and gagged him tightly. More than a dozen Portuguese soldiers surrounded the surviving crew members on the ship and tied them up one by one.
They all gagged their mouths, including Susui, who was trembling to the point of paralysis after seeing countless "white-skinned demons"...
"Quick! Keep your mouths tightly shut! Then take them all down! ... Search the ship thoroughly again and take away all suspicious things, take them away! ..."
Bruno gave the order sternly. Although he had caught the fleeing ship and arrested all the crew members, his face was very ugly. After he ordered his men, he looked at the dense crowd of people in the port and looked at the pairs of people who were staring at each other closely and paying close attention.
eyes, various accents, and bustling discussions... At this moment, there was only one thought left in his mind, a helpless sigh.
"Holy Mother! So many people are watching! Damn it, the navy's dispatch this time... was really messed up!..."
"No matter what nonsense Columbus, this crazy lunatic, said is true or false... today's news is definitely irresistible!"
"Witness the Lord! Hurry and ride east, it won't take ten days... the Castilians will know that we impounded one of their Clark galleons, and also captured their bullshit, and discovered a bullshit new route.
