Guangdong, Guangzhou coast.
Blue sky and white clouds, clear sky.
The sea was calm, and various warships were sailing and patrolling along the wide coastline.
At this time, a merchant ship flying the flag of the East India Company was sailing towards the coast.
"Oh, God, there's a large fleet of ships ahead. Damn it, it's not pirates." shouted an observing sailor on the ship's deck.
The sailor's shout attracted the nervous attention of the people in the ship.
"Dong dong dong..."
The sound of heavy and rapid footsteps was heard on the deck. A man came next to the sailor observer and snatched his telescope to take a look.
Then, he breathed a sigh of relief and returned the telescope to the sailor observer and said:
"Jarvis, what are you making such a fuss about? How many times have I told you not to hang out in bars or prostitutes when you have free time. If you spend more time inquiring about information, you might be able to buy a boat in the future. Captain."
"Boss, where have warships appeared on this route before? Aren't you worried that they are pirates?" Jarvis asked curiously.
"That's why I said you should inquire more about the information. They are the rebel navy of this country, not pirates. Have you seen their red flag? As long as you sail according to their instructions, there will be no harm to us. Worry about them It's better to worry about the British." Boss Deidel pointed.
"Rebels? We didn't even hear of any rebels when we came here last year. Who would have thought that we would see so many warships coming out this year." Jarvis replied with some disbelief.
"It doesn't matter whether they are rebels or not. In fact, I have a much better impression of these rebels!" Deidel said with a smile on his face.
"Why...!" Jarvis asked curiously.
In fact, not only Jarvis, but also several other people on the deck looked at Deidre curiously.
"You have been with me for a few years, so I'm not afraid to tell you. We came here just to trade with these rebels."
"What do you think I am doing by bringing this shipment of grain here? In the past, apart from bringing silver coins to this country for trade, everything else was monopolized by the East India Company."
"However, my friend Anthony told me that a group of rebels appeared in the past recently. These rebels want everything now. Food, iron, cotton...and cash can be exchanged for other substances."
He was in a good mood, and Dedel's smile became even brighter.
"Oh, boss, why did the envoy suddenly change course this time to collect rice?" Ruudi, another sailor on the deck, said with enlightenment.
"Okay, everyone, cheer up. After this successful transaction is completed, I will treat everyone to wine and meat, and each person will add a silver soldier." Dedel waved his hand proudly and said.
"Oh, boss, you are such a good person." Everyone on the deck cheered loudly.
"Boss. A signal signal was sent from the other side. They want to stop us and conduct a routine inspection on us. What should we do?" Jarvis looked at the warship coming towards them and said loudly to Dedel.
"It's okay, let them check! We can't escape even if we want to. Go and inform the helmsman and captain to stop the ship!" Deidel ordered.
"Yes, boss." Jarvis replied.
As the patrols of the anti-bandit army continued to approach, after a while, Dedel saw the anti-bandit army coming to inspect his boat.
I saw them wearing white uniforms, with short hair on their heads, looking particularly energetic. One by one, they came over from the patrol boat to Dedel's Oriental ship.
Suddenly, Deidel saw that there was a Western face among the bandit-suppressing navy that jumped over from the patrol boat.
A face that seemed familiar to him.
"Oh... God, are you Chad? Chad Philippe?" Deidel shouted in Dutch in surprise when he saw clearly the Western-faced bandit-suppressing troops standing firm on the deck.
After hearing this, the bandit-suppressing army, who only saw this Westerner's face, looked up at Dedel, who was a little stunned.
a moment later
"Are you Dedel?" The Western-looking bandit suppressor asked in Dutch with some uncertainty.
"Oh... God. It's really Chad. I thought you went to see God. Thank God, you are still here." Deidel happily ran to Chad and hugged him, crying with joy.
The several bandit suppressing soldiers who came up looked at the two of them chattering a lot, not knowing what they were talking about. The two big men hugged each other again, and they felt strange and asked:
"Captain Li, what's going on?"
After Chad heard this, he pushed Deidel away slightly and said to the soldiers of the bandit suppression army who were looking at him: "This man's name is Deidel, and he is my cousin. We haven't seen each other in several years. It’s a rare meeting, so I’m a little excited.”
"Oh, I understand. Then you can catch up on old times here first! Let's get busy first!" Huang Liqiang, the vice-captain of the same team, said.
"Thank you then, Qiang." Chad said in relatively fluent Cantonese.
Immediately, Huang Liqiang led his troops off the deck and went inside the ship to inspect.
"I'm glad to see you, Chad. I'm very grateful to God that I didn't ask you to see him. My cousin should be happy now." Deidre said impatiently after the people on the deck were sparsely leaving.
"Me too, Deidre. How's my mom doing now?" Chad asked.
"Ever since I heard that your ship was sunk by the hateful British, and your life or death is uncertain, my cousin has been praying to God for your safety. Thank God, you are okay, that's great," said Dedel.
"By the way, why didn't you go back if you were fine? Why did you become a member of this rebel army again?"
"Chad, we are not rebels. We are soldiers of justice. This country does not belong to the Tatars. I am doing something just." Chad immediately replied seriously.
"Okay! I take back what I said about rebels. Why don't you go home? You know, your cousin is worried about you." Seeing this, Dedel immediately changed the subject and asked.
"Dedel, you know. I don't have any other skills except following the ship. After I was sunk by the British, I came to Macau several times. I wanted to raise money to go back to the Netherlands, but I found that it was not that easy. ." Chad immediately entered into his memories, and then said as he swept away his previous confusion.
"Then I met Lin. She is the kindest and most beautiful girl I have ever seen. I found out that I would not marry her, but her father said that I must have a career before I can marry her. You know, I don't know anything other than being a sailor. Others. No, the Bandit Suppression Army is recruiting naval officers. I heard the salary is good. So I joined. Now I am a captain of the Navy of the Bandit Suppression Army. "
(Note: I’ve had a cold and fever in the past few days, so I’m sorry for the update.)
