Zhou Weisen has never learned Spanish, but he had a lot of dealings with Lao Mo when he was in the United States, and he can also tinker with a few daily conversations - otherwise it would not be so easy to hook up with Mendoza. He understood the word "surrender" clearly. The commando's attempt to throw a second tear gas grenade was stopped immediately. He turned to the translator Asan and said:
"Tell them to raise their hands above their heads and come out one by one!" Translator Ah San said it once, and then again. At this time, there was a reaction inside, and a Spaniard emerged from the chili smoke, sneezing and crying, but he did not forget to raise his hands above his head.
Looking at the woolen woolen clothing and layers of ruffled stiff collars on this person, it goes without saying that he is a person of distinction. The empty scabbard on his thigh also illustrates this point - only people with status: even if they are not nobles, they must at least be a so-called "child of a noble family" to wear a sword.
The man was irritated by the pepper smoke and was crying and sneezing. He was pulled aside by the commandos and tied up without even seeing anything. Then Ah San yelled, "Kneel down!" One by one, they knelt on the deck, like a string of hairy crabs.
Someone tried to stand up and speak, but Zhou Weisen had neither the time nor the interest to listen. With a gesture, Translator Asan took a stick and beat the unlucky Spaniard hard with a stick as if he had taken stimulants until he lay on the ground unable to move. .
Zhou Weisen pointed out that there were ten people kneeling on the deck, and two of them were young attendants. It looked like they were all well-known people and their servants on the ship.
After ten people there was no sound inside. Zhou Weisen installed a tactical flashlight on sw629 and was the first to break into the cabin. Commandos wearing masks and goggles rushed in one after another.
There was no need to show the results of their tactical training inside - the cabin was in a mess, furniture and various utensils were scattered all over the floor, and there were also many swords, sabers and matchlocks scattered around. It seems that the people inside were prepared to fight to the death here. But there was no one inside at this moment.
"Pay attention to occupying the entrance and exit of the artillery deck!" Zhou Weisen shouted. This entrance and exit is the connecting channel between the bottom warehouse and the stern cabin. If the Spaniards want to counterattack, it is a shortcut, "Pay attention to the search!"
There are two entrances and exits to the poop. One is the hatch leading to the upper deck, which is where they break in. From here, they can go to the upper deck. You can also climb to the poop deck - where the helmsman steers and directs the ship - via the stairs on both sides. Another entrance is on the upper level of the poop building, which leads to the gun deck. This entrance is usually locked to prevent scheming sailors from unexpectedly attacking the poop from the lower deck through this entrance. In case of being boarded by pirates and joining gangs to fight. The poop is also a strong point of resistance.
The commandos quickly cleared the senior sailors' cabins on the first floor and then entered the second floor. The second floor is divided into three rooms. The outer room is a large room used by the captain to handle various official duties on the ship. The middle room is the dining room for the senior crew members on the ship. The innermost part is divided into two cabins, left and right. Those of the ship owner and captain respectively. This room is also used by VIPs on board the ship when the owner is away.
"Safe!" "Safe!" "Safe!" Voices confirming safety came from all directions.
"Pay attention to the search!" Zhou Weisen shouted. The stern hold is often stored with the personal belongings of the captain and the VIPs on board - especially on this scheduled ship between the two colonies. Everyone will seize the opportunity to engage in smuggling, and the captain of the St. Louis is no exception. Maybe you can make a small fortune from here.
"Report to the leader!" A team member suddenly shouted, "There is a woman on the boat!"
The word woman made Zhou Weisen suddenly excited - except for slaves, there were very few women sailing on ships these days. Although some captains would bring their wives or daughters with them, these were very few exceptions.
but. This was a royal ship between New Spain and the Philippines, and it was entirely possible that it carried the families of several important officials.
Woman on a Spanish ship. Needless to say, she is a hot and unrestrained Latina girl. Although Zhou Weisen already had a Ocean Horse that made him want to vomit, but capturing a Ocean Horse and a boatload of Spanish men in the Senate can earn more merit points.
"Where?" he asked hurriedly.
"In the owner's cabin." The team member said, "She refuses to come out. We can't understand her..."
"You won't drag her out if she doesn't want to come out?" Zhou Weisen said coldly, "Catch her alive!"
A few minutes later, the two team members dragged a woman in front of him. Zhou Weisen was greatly disappointed: this woman was indeed a Yangma, but she looked much older. She was wrapped in a thick black dress - he had some knowledge of European clothing and knew that this was a kind of widow's clothing. Look carefully at her face: she must be at least fifty.
When Zhou Weisen saw that it was a Ocean Horse that had expired, he didn't bother to ask any more questions and simply waved his hand and asked the team members to escort her out. He also got out of the stern cabin.
At this time, members of the Marine Commando came to report to him: the entrance and exit to the middle and lower decks on the deck had been controlled, and Ah San was currently being asked to shout, but the people below did not respond.
"Keep shouting!" Just as Zhou Weisen finished speaking, suddenly there was loud gunfire on the deck and white smoke filled the air. The Spaniards below deck suddenly fired a volley of matchlocks from the entrance and exit, and then violently pushed open the wooden grille, and a swarm of attempts emerged.
However, their attempt was immediately met with a fierce counterattack by the Marines who had been waiting nearby. The seven or eight people who climbed out of the hatch were hit with brains split by dense shells and died as soon as they leaned out half of their bodies.
It seemed that extraordinary measures had to be taken. Zhou Weisen doesn't like poison gas at all, and hundreds of sailors and soldiers are also good labor forces in the mine.
Zhou Weisen picked up the walkie-talkie and called Lin Chuanqing, "Old Lin, prepare 'disinfectant'!"
"clear!"
As he was talking, he saw another team member pulling two women out of the stern cabin with a tow frame. Zhou Weisen was curious, what happened on this ship? There are so many women!
He quickly asked: "What's going on?"
"Report to the chief! He was found in the cabin below, hiding in the cabin where the luggage was piled."
Zhou Weisen took a look and found that these two women were very young, but their faces showed the characteristics of a mixture of yellow and white. They should be the Crevaos in America, the mixed offspring of Spanish conquistadors and Indian women.
Judging from their clothes, they don't look like women of high status, they should be maids or the like. As he was thinking this, a strange aroma suddenly drifted from his nose - it was the smell of perfume.
Zhou Weisen was suddenly stunned, and when he thought of the "crow" just now, he suddenly became excited. After giving a few instructions to the captain of the Marine Commando, I took a few people back to the stern cabin.
I was so slow that I didn't think of it! He secretly thought, isn't this widow just a "accompanying wife"? The Spanish upper class has always used to hire older widows to serve as companions and supervisors for young girls or young women. Otherwise, why would a plainly dressed widow live in the ship's owner's cabin and travel across the ocean? And the two maids, the smell of perfume on the maids - this is really obvious!
In the owner's cabin in the stern cabin, there must have been a young and distinguished Yangma living! She must be hiding!
"Attention, start the search again now! Search each cabin for me carefully!" Zhou Weisen ordered, "If you find anything suspicious, report it to me immediately!"
Not long after, a young woman was dragged in front of him. She was wearing a long dress made of a gorgeous satin-like material embroidered with gold thread that Zhou Weisen had never seen before. He held a folding fan tightly in his hand. From the looks of it, she was a woman from the upper class, most likely the family member of a high-ranking Spanish official or aristocrat in New Spain or the Philippines.
Zhou Weisen estimated that the woman was about twenty years old, with a petite figure and long brown hair with thin curls hanging down from her temples. He looked at the man wearing strange clothes in front of him with a pair of panicked brown eyes. What wafted to my nose was the scent of the maid's perfume just now, but it was stronger and weirder.
"Take her away." Zhou Weisen has no intention of asking her now. He has more important things to do.
"Who is the captain? Bring the captain."
The team members pushed a Spaniard over, and he had a big bump on his head. It was the ruthless translator Asan who beat him.
"How many people are there below?" Zhou Weisen asked with his face covered.
The captain originally wanted to say a few nice and impressive words to fully express his demeanor as a son of a noble family, but Ah San's beatings with sticks just now made him dizzy, and now he no longer has the strength to maintain his image. Seeing this group of pirates and their ship looking strange, the captain decided to tell the truth.
"There were 412 people when we arrived from Acapulco, and there were still 375 people at the last roll call three days ago."
"How many soldiers are on board?"
"At that time, a company of 90 men was loaded in New Spain. I don't know how many are left now."
"Why didn't you surrender just now? You have clearly raised the white flag." Zhou Weisen said viciously, "Do you know the consequences of pretending to surrender? I will hang you all on the mast!"
"Please don't insult my honor!" Although the captain's hands were tied, he still maintained a noble temperament. "I have ordered to surrender, but Lieutenant Alvarado refused to surrender..."
"Who is Alvarado?"
"That's the company commander of that company. He's a restless boy from an aristocratic family." The captain was shocked. "He also tried to seize the poop tower. It's terrible!"
