"Our transport ship has silk, tea, porcelain, cigarettes, cigars, coffee, wine, Tang, etc. worth 500,000 silver dollars, as well as ballast silver ingots worth 200,000 silver dollars and one hundred thousand silver dollars for redemption. Ship, please let me go!" Jose Giadoque said.

"Why should I accept your proposal? I will grab your ship first, and then pursue it. Wouldn't it be more rewarding?" Sir Don Pedro shook his head: "Although you have a lot of goods, But not as valuable as the entire fleet!"

"This transport ship is full of explosives. If you are unreasonable, then bomb the ship. If you are reasonable, then give you the explosives!" Major José Gadoqui said calmly: "We do what we have, hope You let it go."

"If you let go, in addition to these wealth, there will be rewards in the future." Major José Jadoquey analyzed: "Our fleet is going to fight the British. If you let us go, we can help you kill the guards. Many British people!"

What is the meaning of the Chinese helping the Spaniards to kill the British?

Specifically, the British believe in the Anglican Protestant religion and are traitors to Western Catholicism, while Spain is a staunch supporter of Catholicism. If the Chinese do not come, the Spanish and the British will be, in the past, present, and in the future. In the mind of a dog, the contradictions are irreconcilable. The feud between the two countries is not as deep as the Atlantic Ocean, and it is also deeper than the Mediterranean!

Sir Don Pedro thought for a while and assigned several soldiers around him to say: "You, you, you still have you, take people to the transport ship to check!"

Several officers led the way, and Sir Don Pedro offered tea and chatted with Jose Giadoque.

He learned that José Giardocué was indeed of Spanish origin, and that José Giardocué was very fluent in Spanish affairs, thus verifying his identity.

After arriving at Oriental Rising Sun Port as a twenty-year-old young crew member with five years of sea age, he participated in a Chinese language study class, and was lucky enough to pass. After that, he joined the Nanhua Fleet. Yes, he can still retain the Catholic faith, but if he is promoted to the rank of general, unless specially approved, he will have to convert.

"Is the South China Fleet easy for foreigners to join?" Sir Don Pedro asked curiously.

Jose Giadoque told Sir Don Pedro: “The South China Fleet is not like us. Their sailors are basically young men. They practice the principle of retiring if they fail to get promoted. At that time, I was young and passed the Chinese test. It is easy to join the South China Fleet as a sailor, and then become an officer, gradually get promoted, and become the captain of a cruise ship."

"You are a fisherman, you can be an officer, and you can be a captain at the age of thirty-five. Even a nobleman here must be forty years old to be a captain. You are so lucky!" Sir Don Pedro said with emotion.

"Yes, Sir, I also think it's right for me to come to the East!" Jose Giadoque smiled authentically.

In the Spanish Navy, there is a clear distinction between nobles and civilians. It is difficult for fishermen to become officers, let alone become captains. Those positions are reserved for the children of nobles.

The South China Navy is able to let people of low origin serve as captains. Their sailors are young men. This is unimaginable in the European navy. There are many white-bearded soldiers in the European navy, and uncle soldiers are even more commonplace.

It is difficult to recruit sailors in the navies of European countries. After all, the wind and the rain are very dangerous. Even the admiral may be killed in a naval battle. Therefore, the children of decent people rarely serve in the navy, resulting in a shortage of sailors.

Due to the urgency of warfare, the fleet often needs two or three times more seafarers than usual. It has to be recruited from unskilled navy and merchant marines, foreign crews, released slaves, convicted smugglers, volunteers, and seaside fishermen, but still Not enough.

In 1588, less than 16,000 soldiers of the British fleet defeated the Spanish Invincible Fleet. In the 1950s, the number of navy under the Cromwell of the Protector of the Kingdom reached 330,000, which was the total population of the United Kingdom at that time. There are only over 10 million people. Where can I find so many people?

Let alone young people, God blesses anyone who gets on the boat.

The conversation with José Giadoque allowed Sir Don Pedro to learn a lot about the South China Navy. Jose Giadoque also told him a lot about the South China Navy without involving secrecy, such as South China. The treatment of the Navy, speaking of it, made Sir Don Pedro and all the Spaniards envy.

Working in the South China Navy, with high manpower and good welfare, not only the pay period is accurate, but also double pay at the end of the year. In addition, there are housing allowances, medical allowances, employee insurance, long-term service payments and pensions, and an annual free Convalescence and more!

The Spanish Navy’s treatment is not bad due to the support of the American silver mines, but it is not as secure as the South China Navy, and the South China Navy has enough food and drink supplies. It is heard that the South China Navy will have 250 ml of rum per person per day after going to sea. Spaniards all envy the free supply.

While talking, the soldiers who went to the South China transport ship came back with a grin. They handed Sir Don Pedro a manifest with a dazzling list of goods. The chief officer reported: "This ship’s cigarettes and cigarettes Cigars are the most common, followed by tea, and then silk. The goods are worth 500,000 silver dollars, but the manifest is an export order. If it arrives at the port, the price can be increased!"

It means that there are more than half a million silver dollars. The officer brought a box of cigars and a cigarette, which were all wrapped in tin foil and tightly waterproof.

Open the cigar box, there are ten thick cigars inside, the smoke is strong, you can tell that it is a precious cigar when you smell it, and the cigarette box is also very fragrant when it is opened.

"We also found a large number of ballast silver ingots in the bottom compartment, and also found a silver dollar box in the cargo hold. It is indeed worth so many silver dollars!" the officer reported.

Due to the influence of the sails and masts, the center of gravity of sailboats is high. Heavy objects are required to be ballasted on the ship. Generally, sand is used for ballasting. Sometimes special silver ingots are used for ballasting when performing special tasks. The silver ingots are removed when they arrive at the destination. There are not many things like this ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but they do, so after capturing an enemy ship, sometimes you have to go to the gravel pile in the bottom compartment to look for it, maybe there are surprises.

Sir Don Pedro asked the officers how they felt?

Everyone said that if you have so much money, you can explain it to you. After all, the South China warship was very vigorous with desperation before. It was able to defeat many people. Why take risks? Everyone makes money!

In the battle between Baipi and the South China Army, there are many examples of Baipi paying for the redemption of the city. The South China Army is still very trustworthy after receiving the money. Now that the South China Army pays the redemption fee, the Spaniards are also doing it for the sake of the fellow. One side.

So Sir Don Pedro agreed to Jose Giadoque’s request for the redemption of the ship, and sent someone to accept the transport ship, let Jose Giadoque and others leave on a small cargo ship, and the two parties waved goodbye politely. Parting ways!

Shi Haiyunyan: The South China fleet that escaped all thought it was good luck, Mazu bless, and the Spaniards saw the money. The archives a few years later revealed that Sir Don Pedro was one of Spain's staunch patriots who had been instigated by South China agents several years ago.

The agents fighting on the secret front behind enemy lines have successfully completed their missions. No one knows their names, and their achievements will last forever!
