"...Wednesday, we are about to enter the Palk Strait, sunny, northeast trade wind, still half a day's sailing from Ceylon, sufficient supplies, no stop..."
Li Huamei was thinking wildly while writing the logbook. [No pop-up novel website] 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 people like herself who are not clear about the "underlying sea" need to undergo a long period of "investigation" - or "examination" as the Australians say before they can "join the group". Especially when Australians hire people, the most important thing is "under the sea". "Everyone starts from the bottom and everyone passes" is their consistent slogan.
Regarding her life experience and experience, she and her sister carefully prepared a set of words - fortunately, few people in Macau know about her relationship with her sister, and those who really know the inside story are loyal servants. 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 formally 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 patents. Various Indian and European goods were brought for the Senate. In 1632, she still followed the usual practice and obtained this trade patent certificate.
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. etc. 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 shark skins and deer skins in Siam etc. In this way, the stop-and-go business was completed. I will probably return to Macau between June and August.
However, Li Huamei's Goa trade is straight forward - 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 certain goods they need, they are required to ship at least a certain number every year, otherwise her trade patent will be invalid next year. Therefore, Li Huamei usually does not do transactions at the ports along the way, but sails directly all the way. In order to be able to make multiple round trips within a year and transport as much goods as possible to Lingao. .
When Li Huamei walked from Lingao to the Colonial Office of Bopu Port to receive the supply and sales list of goods, she accidentally met Sikaide's maid Smida. Because Li Huamei was an important business partner of the Senate and often dealt with the Ministry of Colonial Trade, the two were quite familiar with each other. This time I saw that Simida had gained a lot of weight, with a happy smile on her face, and her clothes had become sloppy. The 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 ate and chatted together. Li Qianji is Li Haiping's maid, and she is in the same period as Simida - the fourth phase of the maid training class. Their dormitory bed number is 111. One is 113. The relationship was originally very close.
Due to the bad taste of the senators, when registering the maids, it was discovered 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 Li Haiping's maid, and was then renamed Qian Ji - and some elders quickly changed their names to Bai Ji, Shi Ji and Yi Ji, and the others had to go with them. The name is gone.
Li Qianji found out she was pregnant not long after she went to Taiwan, so she also called back to Lingao. Li Haiping is a big fan of Li Huamei. Li Qianji has known Li Huamei for a long time. As a life secretary who has received strict harem training, she simply recognized Li Huamei as her sister when they first met.
Now the two pregnant women live together in Li Haiping's naval camp officer dormitory in Bopu - it is very empty, with a canteen, laundry room, health room in the yard, and orderlies cleaning. There is nothing to worry about. The General Office even sent a special greeting to the naval base. 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 unhappiness that cannot be shaken off, no matter what era. A woman's jealousy is basically directly proportional to her man's popularity and inversely proportional to the number of her children.
When Li Huamei first came into contact with Australians three years ago, she thought men were just animals. Now she is 26 in the blink of an eye - she is truly an older leftover woman in this time and space. Look at yourself in the mirror: your face has become rounder and there are fine lines at the corners of your eyes. The stupid Australian man who was obsessed with him 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 themselves want to give birth to children before themselves. As for myself, what is worse is that my aesthetic taste has unknowingly turned into thin skin and tender flesh, slightly fat, tall, with an innocent and confident smile on my face, and a short head...
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 passed us long ago."
"Well, right rudder three, go 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!"
"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 , the person who takes you..."
"***, who could blindly think of me!" She cursed,...Mom? ……well!
The Hangzhou is a small 15-ton ketch. The opponent's ship looks like a three- to four-hundred-ton ship. It has three masts and a slender hull. It is similar to a British ship - it should be a Nordic ship type. The speed of this kind of ship is much faster than my own ship. We still don’t know who is driving the car, but we can’t go wrong if we want to commit a robbery.
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. Good bullets and a flash cap at your 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 named their most powerful samurai Heihachiro, but the Japanese do not use this kind of straight sword, and Dory what's going on? Si Kaide said: The words given to Miss Li are "Dolly-eight shields"...
Back on the poop, there are only four or five enemy ships left.
"The big cannon is loaded with iron ball bullets, and the small cannon is loaded with chain bullets. Listen to my command, prepare to turn the rudder, 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 flame 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?"
"Kiss me, miss!"
"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 on 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 just over a league 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."
