At this time, Shang Yi turned his attention to the last batch of captives. There were four people in this group of captives. This group of people's clothes were indeed like Europeans. One of them was about 50 red -haired elderly people. There were some.
Two young people around thirty years old are black hair, and they are born with high horses and powerful. There is a teenager who is only fourteen or five years old, or a blonde.
Seeing Shang Yi looked at himself, the two young people instinctively blocked the teenager behind themselves, showing a vigilant look. And the red -haired elderly came forward two steps, respectfully to Shang Yiju, respectfully.
Bow and murmured in a while.
Shang Yi can hear it, and speaks Spanish. Although Shang Yi started to speak Spanish with the scriptures, only a few words of daily words are now only a few words.
I do n’t understand the others. Because I heard Zhang Gengqiu said that Spain was going to invade China, Shang Yi couldn't help but be vigilant. In Spanish, "My Spanish is not good, can you speak French?
"
Several people can't help but be a little surprised. Obviously, Shang Yi not only speaks Spanish, but also speaks French that they feel very surprised. The old man with red hair immediately changed to French, saying: "Dear general, we are businessmen from Spain
I originally wanted to go to Manila, but I was hijacked by pirates at sea. I was very grateful to save us. "I also pointed out that the Spanish sailing boat with the two masts said:" This ship originally belonged to us, and it was also being.
The pirate hijacked, I hope you can let us leave. "
Shang Yi smiled coldly, and then looked at the boat carefully. Seeing that there were some European -style patterns and sculptures on the side of the ship, it was very gorgeous. This is also a remarkable feature of the Spanish sailing.
The round pattern is engraved with two swallows and a sword, which looks like a logo.
However, this red old man is obviously being lied. Because Shang Yi's eyes have undergone strict training, from the combination and temperament of these people, the red -haired old man is quite elegant, and the language is decent.
Trained, and those two young people are like retired soldiers. Although the blonde boy's clothes are dirty, it is obviously more expensive than the other three people. From the perspective
Blonde teenagers are the people with the highest position in the middle. The old man with red hair is estimated to be a housekeeper. Two young people are about roles such as bodyguards. They will definitely not be a businessman.
Then, then
However, Shang Yi didn't say anything for the time being, just said: "So what kind of business do you do? Where are you doing business?" Refers to Zhang Gengqiu, who is far away: "That person is a Chinese who is doing business in Manila, you call it physiological.
People. I believe you are willing to know, everyone is a businessman. "
The old man with red hair immediately opened his tongue and couldn't answer. Shang Yi said faintly: "To be honest, who are you? What are you doing here?" Pointing at the blond boy: "Who is he?
Is it your master? "
Shang Yi noticed that as soon as he finished speaking, the blond boy's face changed. Obviously he understood French. Shang Yi smiled slightly and took a few steps to the blond boy.
Do you have to understand French? "
The two young people around the blonde teenager immediately blocked Shang Yi, but immediately pointed at them at seven or eight bayonets, and they dared not move. The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
At this time, the blond boy spoke a Spanish language, as if to let the two young people open it. Then came to Shang Yi and bowed, in French: "Dear general, my name is Andre, my name is Andre, my name is
It was from the horse's horse in Spain, and went to the relatives of Manila. I met a pirate two days ago and hijacked us. Thank you for saving us. If you can let us, we will be more grateful. "
He untied a cross from his neck, handed it to Shang Yi, and said: "The robbers snatched all our things, and now I only have this cross. If we can return to Manila safely, we will definitely be sure
Try to repay your grace. Our relatives have a little power in Manila, I want to make you satisfied. "
Shang Yi nodded, and it was a little bit like this, but it was not necessarily the truth. Although An Yanlie was not very old, his tone was obviously a good educated person. It was born like a noble home. However
Although Shang Yi felt that they were not like a spy, they couldn't put them immediately, so he waved his hand and said, "I don't want your stuff, and you don't need you to repay later, but you must take a serious review of you.
So you will temporarily lose your freedom now. But I can guarantee your life safety and necessary treatment, if you are willing to cooperate. "
After listening to the four people, An Yanlie could only follow the soldiers to wait for the soldiers.
At this time, Shen Shouchong's warship was leaning on the shore. From the boat down, he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the caught pirates. He came to Shang Yi and kneeling on the ground.
I can't run away the pirates. "
Shang Yi helped him up and said, "Commanded, you don't have to blame yourself, you can't blame you in this battle.
Shen Shouchong stood up and said, "Yeah, how can this boat be really evil, how can it be so fast, and the turn, the corner is too flexible, our boat is not comparable.
Human boat. "
Shang Yi knew that there was a relatively obvious difference between the Dutch sailing and the Spanish sailing boat in this era. There were no tall ships on the deck, and the front end did not hit the corner, and the deck was small, and the shipbues on both sides drumped out.
At that time, the tariffs from various European countries to Hong Kong were calculated according to the deck area, so the Dutch stole a coincidence, making the deck smaller, and the inner cabin was larger.
The style of the warship of the salad. "
Shen Shouchong couldn't help taking a breath, saying: "The warship of the dried sacrifice is not worse than the warship of the Maoyi people."
Shang Yi laughed: "These two countries have fought for decades in Taixi, and naturally they are the same. But our warships should also improve it.
Maybe that day, we will hit us, and since others can create such warships, we can also create it. Canton Shen, can you know that there is a shipyard in Zhejiang that can build a big ship? "
Shen Shou Chong Dao: "Adults, private warships, but ..."
Shang Yi said: "You don't have to worry about this. Naturally, I will find a way to clear the relationship. You just tell me that the shipyard can build a big ship?" In my heart, at this time, the Ming Dynasty court court I can't take care of myself, can I still control me?
In fact, Shen Shouchong did not want to build a new boat, but he had no right to have no power and no money, and he had nowhere to make it. After listening to Shang Yi's words, he also reluctantly said, "Adult, actually me, I actually Knowing that there is a craftsman, I heard that he will build a thousand -expected ship. "
Shang Yi listened to him and immediately became interested, saying: "Who is, say quickly."
Shen Shouchong said: "In Xiangshan County, a man named Hu Jiangbin opened a shipbuilding workshop. His family passed on three generations, all of which were born in shipbuilders. Can be made. I also asked him to repair the boat twice, and he heard that he said that he would make large ships of more than a thousand materials.
At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the shipbuilding industry was very developed, but large ships were manufactured by the official shipyard. Private workshops generally could only build a boat. But the sea ban was later implemented. However, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the court management was relaxed, and the maritime trade became more and more developed. Lin Feng, Wang Zhi, Xu Hai and Xu Hai's maritime forces who were also stolen and also ignored the court's ban at all.
In this case, some private ship workshops have developed again, and they dare to ignore the court ban and create large ships of more than two masts. Therefore, in the late Ming Dynasty, the folk shipbuilding industry is better than the official. This is the case that the Hujiangbin -made ship workshop is the case.
After Shen Shouchong finished speaking, he also carefully looked at Shang Yi, and he was quite disturbed. Because Bi Jing was a violation of the court ban. Although everyone knew it, he never put it on the desktop.
Of course, Shang Yi didn't care about any violation of the court's ban, and immediately said: "Is his shipbuilding workshop now, is it too late to rush today?"
Shen Shouchong said: "You have time to come, and you will have been there once in the end, just on the seaside southeast of Xiangshan County. It is less than 20 miles away from here."
Shang Yi nodded, and said, "It's not yet noon, rush away immediately, and you can come back very often at night. It is not too late. I will arrange things here. We will set off immediately. The boat also drove. "
At this time, Luo Yuanbin came out of the village with Jing Jing, and brought a lot of people. Thanks to the merchant army for helping them defeat the pirates. Shang Yi comforted them. Part of the materials scattered to these people, and then led the brigade to the horse back to Chang Guowei. And with Duan Peng's reconnaissance company, there is a musket company and a cavalry company, coupled with a Centennial team with Shen Shouchong rushing to rush Go to Xiangshan County and find the craftsman named Hu Jiangbin.
