535. Set sail to the west
When the little guy saw me, he was like a frightened little rabbit, huddling in the corner and trembling.
I walked forward and gently touched his head. The child shrank back in fear and said something in Spanish in a hurry and timid way.
Listen carefully, he said, "Don't hit me! Don't hit me! I'm very obedient!"
I felt a little sad, and I gently pressed his shoulder, and smiled as gently as possible and said, "I am your father's friend, do you remember? Oriental, Sun."
The little guy seemed less afraid, so he raised his head and looked at me seriously, and suddenly cried out with a "wow" and threw himself into my arms.
He cried very sadly, but I felt much more at ease. Green energy traveled around his limbs and bones for several times, and no internal and external injuries were found.
"It's hard to coax the child, and I don't have that time," said little Alfred, who was standing behind him helplessly: "So scaring him is better than anything else."
Jimmy heard Alfred's voice and looked at him in fear. He was so scared that he hurried into my arms. Everyone around him laughed, after all, he was a child.
When we boarded the ship and returned, everything went smoothly. After more than ten days of sight, we climbed to Manila again.
I will never forget the little Pence crying expression when he saw his only son. He knelt on the ground, hugging his son tightly, and swearing that he didn't know what he was saying.
"Qi Lan, I don't know how to express my gratitude to you. I'm sorry for you, you still help me so much, I..." Little Pence stood opposite me with his son in his arms and said excitedly.
I smiled slightly and waved casually: "Friends, don't talk about these things."
Little Pence gritted his teeth and nodded: "If I have been in Nanyang for one day, I will keep the blade safe all day long! I swear with my neck and human hair!"
I didn't take this conversation anymore. Just keep some things in my heart, without saying that.
"There's one more thing." I pointed to Alfred, who was "protected" by several special forces, and whispered: "I think you understand what I mean, right?"
Little Pence stared at Little Alfred for a few times before looking back at me and said, "Are you leaving a way out for yourself?"
I nodded: "Yes, I accepted your reminder and decided to give myself an extra way out."
Little Pence looked at Little Alfred again and said calmly: "Although emotionally, I would rather see you come back with his head, but in the current situation, you and I are like sailing against the current, so it is safer to keep one more hand. I agree with your approach."
I felt much more at ease when reaching an agreement on this issue. I originally believed that with the wisdom of Pence, I would definitely agree with my approach.
It was a night when I was drunk and the guests and hosts were all happy.
I also let go of the resentment that had accumulated in my heart for a long time and welcomed a new beginning with a hearty wine.
After staying in Manila for two days, Pence Jr. did his best to greet us, but I also learned from him and Alfred Jr. that the Spanish attack on North America was not a false statement, while Britain and the Netherlands were quite ambiguous in dealing with this matter.
Britain seemed to have reached a certain tacit understanding with Spain. Although the two sides were still fighting each other, they showed surprising harmony in the face of the Netherlands.
For example, Britain and the Netherlands had a mutual assistance agreement, but because the Dutch's maritime power developed too quickly, it caused deep panic among the Spaniards and made Britain, as an ally, quite afraid.
Originally, Britain supported the Netherlands to compete with Spain, but after decades of struggle, Spain gradually declined, and the Netherlands suddenly rose!
The original follower suddenly became a giant that he could not control when he was not careful. This feeling was not good for anyone.
So while maintaining a mutual aid agreement, Britain and the Netherlands are already somewhat in harmony, and the meaning of having a different bed and dreaming is in it.
This time Spain attacked North America, and the British occupied area represented by Virginia was only affected by a few attacks, but the Dutch occupied area led by New York was attacked violently.
The Netherlands is said to have asked Britain for help. Elizabeth I vowed to rescue him if he attacked and defended, but when he actually sent troops, he pushed for three or four. Even if he sent troops, he was just a small fleet of several ships to go out, and he would not have any practical effect at all.
My territory is tied to the Dutch, and the Dutch and the Spanish fight, and I believe Mavi will definitely join forces with the Dutch to fight.
I don’t know where the Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao, who was on the northern line, has arrived. According to time, he should probably be near Quebec if everything goes well.
On the third day, I really couldn't stay at ease anymore. For some reason, I gradually began to develop an obsessive feeling about that place in New York.
I don't want to give up there, my heart tells myself.
Especially after completely leaving the Ming Dynasty, I kept asking myself, where is my home?
Go back to Japan? No, this is not the place where Uncle Suzuki and I have lived for more than 20 years, but a chaotic and chaotic world. I don’t feel familiar and warm.
Taking root in Nanyang? Being a local tyrant seems to be a good choice, but I don’t like the customs and customs here. Nanyang people are stingy and the place is small and stuffy, so I don’t like it.
Forget it in Africa, the black brothers are not much different from monkeys, and the climate is bad, so I don’t want to stay there.
I have never considered the Indian Ocean. From time to time, I can't stand it if I really want me to live in a place full of ghee and curry flavor.
Europe is actually a good choice, but it faces a problem of choice.
In such an ambiguous relationship between us and us, where can I settle down the most stable place?
Where can I pat my chest to guarantee that this is my lifelong destination?
This time when I went back, I planned to buy some industries in several places, but none of them were my home.
Only the New World, this magical, barbaric, and free land, can I build a home with my own hands and enthusiasm!
There are no rules and no constraints there, I can do what I want to do, making it my ideal home.
There is no struggle, no tossing, only the winner is the king. I like this jungle law, at least it is simple and clear.
So I set sail again. Say goodbye to Pence, my fleet left Manila and went straight off Malacca as fast as possible.
Because Uncle Ye’s health is indeed poor, it is difficult to take on the heavy responsibility of commanding Nanyang. Under his suggestion, I asked Buhui to stay and run Nanyang for Uncle Ye.
Ten thousand people are unwilling to regret it. But seeing his father's body becoming weaker, he was also sad that he failed to stay by his father's side to fulfill his filial piety.
So he stayed unwillingly, and I promised him privately that he would be filial. When Uncle Ye wanted to go out for a walk, I would definitely arrange someone to take him over so that he could take his father around the world!
Buhui agreed to stay, but at the same time I discovered an unexpected happy event - after Buhui was sure to stay, Qinglian and Yuhe also took the initiative to apply to stay.
After I learned carefully, the two girls were embarrassed to tell the truth.
In recent years, they have been following the Boy's boat, taking care of Boy's life, and helping to do trade planning, and cooperate with them like fish in water.
After a while, they fell in love over time, and they just met each other.
If it weren't for the urgent matters in the New World, I'm afraid the wedding has been done now.
I was overjoyed when I heard this. These two girls followed me since I was practicing the one-whip technique in Shandong. My abilities, character and appearance were the best choices.
Although I had committed myself to others for my livelihood, my children in the world are so bold and unrestrained. As long as they are true love, it is no big deal.
The only problem comes from the inside - back then, Mr. Ye and his uncle Yan Lei's father had been married. If he was born with a son and a daughter, he would become a husband and wife; if he was two boys, he would become brothers, and the two girls would be sisters.
As a result, the ones born were indeed a pair of brothers, namely Uncle Ye and Uncle Yan Lei, who became brothers. As a result, the two married two sisters and married each other.
Later, before the old man of the Yan family passed away, he pushed his fingertips to the next generation as agreed, but another "me" was added - Sun San.
Now that I am married, only Buhui and Yan Zhu are suitable for each other, so the old people are unwilling to let go of this.
Of course, they did not object to Buhui being with Qinglian and Yuhe. When Nanyang started its power, the two girls made great efforts and had a close relationship with the Yan and Ye families. If they left sadly, the two families would never be willing to do so.
After a few families, I decided to let Buhui refer to my model and marry Yanzhu, Qinglian and Yuhe, regardless of their size, which is considered to be a perfect merit and inclusive...
I have no objection to deal with this, but what does it mean to follow my model? I am just following the crowd. Don’t have to be so far-sighted?
Because my days are tight, the marriage is simple. I decided to do it today, and the next day is an auspicious day, so I will immediately get the wedding done.
At the marriage, Uncle Ye invited Li Shuang, the dagger that Ye Gong gave me to me according to Ye Gong's wish, as a witness to the marriage by his elders.
Logically speaking, Lishuang is a parting thing, but now we have witnessed everyone’s joy. It can be regarded as our practical efforts to break the resentment and sorrow in it.
When my brother got married, I really didn't know what to give him. Because we had never distinguished each other before, we were brothers and never settled the score. Now we really stumped me for giving gifts.
Finally, I thought about it. Qinglian and Yuhe had no father or mother, so there was no formal marriage between the two. So I accepted the two as their sisters and asked them to rummage through boxes and cabinets by themselves. They found the documents they had redeemed from Shandong Mansion many years ago, which proved their innocence and gave them a good identity.
Qinglian and Yuhe bowed excitedly, and I naturally received their gifts. From now on, they have been my sister-in-law and my brother-in-law. Although it is a little strange, they can only be like this.
The two insisted on calling me brother, but I didn't refuse. This is the best way!
The next day, we held a happy wedding, the third day, the couple fulfilled their family, and the fourth day, we took three wives back to the door, and we had another lively event, which was done.
Now that we have completed what we should do, we are ready to go on the road again.
Buxuan led the fleet to send us thirty nautical miles. After thirty nautical miles, they were reluctant to leave, so they sent another thirty nautical miles. After a while, they sent us 100 nautical miles and then they saw it.
So I repeatedly advised you to send you a thousand miles away, and I finally had to part. I was just going to do things, not forever, and I just agreed without regret.
So the two families shed tears and parted without mentioning each other. They returned to Malacca, while I headed straight for the Indian Ocean and headed towards Africa.
Chapter completed!
