"...Wednesday, we are about to enter the Palk Strait, sunny, northeast trade wind, still half a day's voyage from Ceylon, sufficient supplies, no stop..."
Li Huamei was thinking wildly while writing the logbook.
Since she accepted Li Siya's instructions to infiltrate the Australians, she flew directly to Lingao, went to Bopu to find a familiar navy veteran, and expressed her willingness to join Lingao.
Although she is very popular among the "Young Boys" of the Navy, she is not crazy enough to think that she will join the Australian group immediately. Li Huamei knows very well that a person like herself who is unclear about the "undersea" will have to have a long time.
Only after the "plate" of time - or as the Australians call it "examination" can they be "joined". Especially when Australians hire people, the most important thing is "under the sea". "Everyone starts from the bottom, and everyone passes the test" is their consistent slogan
.
Regarding her life experience and experiences, she and her sister carefully prepared a set of words - fortunately, few people in Macau know about her relationship with her sister. Those who really know the inside story are loyal servants. They are
I would rather die than reveal the secrets of the Li sisters, let alone worry that they would take the initiative to reveal the secrets.
However, unexpectedly, she did not receive too many "discussions" at Bopu. After writing a personal statement on a piece of paper and filling out the application form, her application was accepted - but
The other party said that it would take three months before she could be officially notified whether her application would be approved. Before that, the Department of Colonization and Trade had an urgent procurement mission to Goa for her to handle.
Ever since she got involved with the Australians, Li Huamei has been monopolizing Goa's trade patent, transporting various Indian and European goods to the Senate. In 1632, she still obtained this trade patent certificate as usual.
According to the consistent Goa trade route of the Portuguese in Macau. Every January and February, Portuguese ships would go to Goa and load woolen fabrics, clothing materials, Indian floral fabrics, cotton and cotton fabrics, crystal and glassware, clocks, and wine in Goa.
Waiting for European and Indian goods. Then return in April, passing through Malacca, Siam, Timor, Ceylon, Myanmar and other regions, doing business along the way, exchanging the goods on the ship for spices, sandalwood, agarwood in Malacca, and in Siam
shark skin, deer skin, etc. After doing this stop-and-go business, I will return to Macau between June and August.
However, Li Huamei's Goa trade is straightforward - she does not trade along the road. Australians' demand for goods is small in variety but large in quantity. There are strict regulations on annual delivery figures, especially for some of them.
The goods she needs are all required to be transported at least a certain number of times each year, otherwise her trade patent will be invalid next year. Therefore, Li Huamei generally does not do transactions at the ports along the way. Instead, she sails directly all the way in order to be able to ship goods many times a year.
Round trip, transport as much goods as possible to Lingao...
Before setting off from Lingao, Li Huamei went to the Colonial Department Office in Bopu Port to collect the supply and sales list of goods. She unexpectedly met Si Keide's maid Smida. Because Li Huamei was an important business partner of the Senate and often dealt with the Colonial Trade Department.
The two knew each other very well. This time I saw that Simida had gained a lot of weight. She had a happy smile on her face, her hair and clothes had become sloppy, and her obviously bulging belly clearly told everyone that she already had it.
Naturally, the pregnant maid couldn't follow the chief around, so she was arranged by Skade to do some writing work at the Colonial Office in Bopu. Moreover, the air at the seaside was better and the seafood was fresher - eating more fish is good for pregnant women.
Great benefit.
Then Simida called Li Qianji, and the three women had dinner and chatted together. Li Qianji was Li Haiping's maid, and she was in the same period as Simida - the fourth phase of the maid training class. One of their dormitory bed numbers was 111, and the other was 113. Their original relationship
It's very close.
Due to the bad taste of the senators, when registering the maids, it was found that there were dozens of Li Wanji among the maids of the senators. So the general office banned the use of this name anymore. One of these Li Wanji, who was handsome and well-behaved, eventually became the
Li Haiping's maid was renamed Qian Ji - and some elders quickly changed it to Bai Ji, Ten Ji and Yi Ji, while others had to say goodbye to this name.
Soon after Li Qianji went to Taiwan, she found out that she was pregnant, so she was sent back to Lingao. Li Haiping was Li Huamei's chief fan. Li Qianji had known Li Huamei for a long time. As a life secretary who had received strict training in harem culture, she simply met her for the first time.
She immediately recognized Li Huamei as her sister.
Now two pregnant women live together in Li Haiping's navy camp officer dormitory in Bopu - it is very empty, there is a canteen, laundry room, health room in the yard, and orderly cleaning, so there is nothing to worry about. The general office also specially asked the navy
The base said hello, the future of the Senate is an overriding political task...
Now Li Huamei can't remember what the three women said when they sat together. In short, the only feeling left is a deep and complete uneasiness that cannot be shaken off. No matter what era, a woman's jealousy is basically proportional to her man's popularity.
, inversely proportional to the number of children one has.
When Li Huamei first came into contact with Australians three years ago, she thought men were just animals. Now she is 26 years old in the blink of an eye - she is truly an older leftover woman in this time and space. Looking at herself in the mirror: her face has changed.
He has become rounder and has fine lines at the corners of his eyes. The stupid Australian man who was obsessed with me back then has now become a big shot dominating the China Sea.
What's worse is that a group of children who are nearly ten years younger than me actually want to give birth to children before me. As for me, what's worse is that my aesthetic taste has unknowingly turned into a petty one.
Tender skin, slightly fat, tall, innocent and confident smile, short hair...
I can't live this life, damn, I really want to have a child... I closed my diary angrily, put away my dip pen and ink, put on my straw hat and the sunglasses that Mond gave me, put on my machete, and tightened my belt.
, walked out of the captain's cabin.
"Miss, the boat to the northwest seems to have been following us."
"how long it has been?"
"I saw it yesterday, but I didn't see the light at night, and it happened again today."
"The longship?"
"Yes, it was a little further away this morning and is getting closer. If we had gone our separate ways, it would have overtaken us long ago."
"Well, right rudder three, walk to the open sea. If you catch up, prepare to fight. Let everyone eat something quickly, regardless of whether it is cooked or not, and then put out the fire."
"yes"
…
"Miss, the boat is coming up!"
"Get ready to fight! Ring the bell! Five left rudder, full sail!...Aqiu, take your people to hang the anchor chain on the side of the ship!...Carlos, take your people to fetch water and scatter sand!...Mao Da
, take your person..."
"Grandma, what blind person actually thought of me!" She cursed,...Old...mother?...Oh!
The Hangzhou is a small schooner of 150 tons. The opponent's ship looks like three to four hundred tons, with three masts and a slender hull, similar to a British ship - it should be a Nordic ship type. This kind of ship
The speed is much faster than my own ship. I don’t know who is driving it yet, but it is inevitable to rob it anyway.
Li Huamei is not afraid of anyone when it comes to filming at sea - except for the big smoking ships like the Australians. Fortunately, the captains of those big smoking ships are all her admirers, and many of her outfits are made of these.
A gift from someone.
While thinking about it, Li Huamei took off her sunglasses and put them away, and put the glasses case into a tin box. No matter what, the glasses must not be lost. She took out the two Deringer pistols given by Li Haiping from the tin box.
I put good bullets and a flash cap on my waist. I took off the Patton Sword Dory given by the Colonial Secretary Skade from the wall. I don't know why it is called "Eight Shields". It is said that the Japanese call their most powerful samurai Heihachiro, but
The Japanese don't use this kind of straight sword, so what's going on with Dory? Skade said: The gift to Miss Li is "Dolly Eight Shields"...
Back on the poop, there are only four or five enemy ships left.
"The big guns are loaded with iron ball bullets, and the small guns are loaded with chain bullets. Listen to my command, prepare to turn the rudder, and prepare to beat the war drum..."
"Hey... kids! Look carefully for me to see which idiot is here to die! The first one to see the flag clearly will be rewarded!" Li Huamei stepped on the railing to encourage morale, holding a sword in one hand and curved
Standing bare and handsome, the red turban is like a ball of flames blowing in the wind. This is also the scene that the crew wants to see the most.
"What's the reward?"
"Yeah, what's the reward?"
"Miss, give me a kiss!"
"Kiss that thing!"
With a "bang", a hole was punched in the deck between the legs of the sailor who spoke.
"You can kiss me if you want," Li Huamei blew the muzzle of her gun, "I'll have some wine tonight..."
The crowd burst into laughter...
In fact, the veteran crew members were also a little puzzled. The Hangzhou was flying the flags of Portugal and Australia and Song Dynasty. Naturally, the Spaniards and Portuguese would not attack their own ships. Normally, the British would not attack ships flying the Polar Star flag. The Dutch used to
It's hard to say, but they will definitely not do this now, unless their East India Company no longer wants Hong Kong's trade - this business is now so profitable that the Portuguese are jealous.
"Miss, look, the enemy ship has raised its flag."
"What flag is this?"
"It seems to be Denmark. Their East India Company seems to be more than 100 leagues away from here."
"It seems that Denmark and His Majesty have made peace, right?"
"The red-haired man calls them pirates, saying that they have been a pirate nation since ancient times."
"If it has been working so well since ancient times, why do we need cannons? No matter if it is a white-bone spirit or a vixen, it will be our fat sheep if it comes to our door."
"What the hell! Get ready to fuck!" (To be continued...)
