"Vaffanculo! Damn idiot! I am the commander of the expeditionary force, I am your leader! You actually negotiate terms with me?!... I have every right to requisition excess sails and supplies from your two ships!...
"
"No. God is my witness! You have no such right."
"Merda! I have! This is the right given to me by the Queen!"
"Haha! I don't think you can represent the Queen. Only the respected royal butler Gutierrez has the right to judge on behalf of the Queen! And you are just a failed, unlucky person who only manages thirty people.
The naval commander who was chased and spanked..."
"Minchia! Dapingsong, you are seeking death! I will hang you on the mast!..."
"Aha! Come on, draw your sword! I want to see how many people on the flagship will support you, a greedy, failed, and unlucky poor man!..."
"Ah! Damn it!!..."
The sea breeze was strong, harsh taunts echoed on the deck, and the sound of swords being drawn resounded throughout the ship. The flagship Santa Maria was now ablaze with the flash of swords.
The three Castilian captains, with more than 20 of their henchmen, all drew their weapons. They were divided into two teams of about the same number, and faced off on the deck with the tips of their blades facing each other. It was a cruel battle.
The internal fighting seems to be about to break out!
In this age of adventure and death, on this sea without law and morality, the struggle between the captain and the sailors is so direct and cruel! If the captain wants to gain power, he must kill people to establish his prestige and bring power to the sailors.
As for the wealth, try to distribute it within the acceptable limit. But once he fails in the battle and shows his weakness, internal power grabs and challenges, cruel internal fighting and cleanup will begin to brew among the crew, and even break out immediately!
As a civilian captain who lacked prestige, Columbus was even more so. This time, in order to escape from the chasing Taino militia, he threw away the flagship cargo he had obtained by any means, the supplies necessary for the voyage, and also
He lost the morale of the sailors. And the day after the battle failed was when he was at his weakest and had the weakest influence on the sailors of the flagship...
Therefore, the Pinson brothers showed no mercy! They immediately chose to board the ship at this time to challenge or even seize the authority of the fleet commander and enhance the power in their hands!
"Aha! Ten sailors with swords drawn... Columbus, I really didn't expect that at this time, there are actually ten people willing to fight for you!..."
Captain Ohiramatsu looked around the deck and counted the number of people confronting each other, with a smile on his face that was indeed true.
The sailors on the flagship Santa Maria had just experienced a tragic defeat. Possibly distributed cargo was lost on the ship. The sailors were faced with the dilemma of damaged ships, and their morale was already low. At this moment, they were willing to draw their weapons,
The crew members standing next to Columbus were only one-third of the total!
"Minchia! I am your commander, and I have discovered a new route to the East! I will make each of you rich, believe me!... Now, we must overpower the Pinson brothers and recruit their ships
Sails and supplies!…”
Seeing the reaction of everyone on the flagship, Columbus trembled in his heart. He quickly put down his posture as commander, shouted loudly, and made generous promises to the neutral sailors.
"Come, stand next to me! Chachu, you are my close second boatswain! What are you still hesitating about? I have never treated you badly these days..."
"Aha! Chachu! What are you waiting for? We were in the native village before, but we had already agreed!... Come! Bring someone here and follow me!"
Dahiramatsu held the scimitar, grinned, and looked at the second boatswain Chachu. The other side was hesitant and did not approach Columbus immediately, which already explained everything!
"Garcia was lost in a native village, and the Pinta now has no bosun... The Lord witnesses! Chachu, as long as you come over, you will be the bosun on my ship!..."
"Holy Mother! What's the future for following this stingy hapless Columbus? He wanted to keep every copper coin in his own hands! Would he be willing to give you 10% of the spoils?... And as long as you bring people with you,
Come here, I will give you 30% of the next loot from the Pinta!…
"Aha! Cha Chu, don't hesitate! No matter how close Columbus is to you now, he will never really treat you as his confidant! He is a small-minded person who holds a grudge, and you once led the sailors to rebel against him! ...Don't forget,
What happened to Boatswain Balto!…”
Hearing this, Chachu's expression changed, and the hand holding the scimitar trembled for a moment. Boatswain Bartow had always been close to him, and the two had organized the sailors of the flagship together to force Columbus to return. But Bartow's final fate
, but it was Columbus who took control of the flagship and threw it into the sea to feed the fish!…
"Joder! Dapingsong, you are right! I will take people with you!..."
"Minchia! Cha Chu, you actually betrayed me?!"
"Bah! Columbus, you don't believe me, and I don't believe you! You killed Bato, you don't deserve to be our leader!..."
Cha Chu bared his teeth fiercely and gave Columbus a "poof". Then, he raised his sailor's scimitar and skillfully twisted it in a circle, looking at the cronies around him and even the important technical craftsmen on the flagship.
"Carlo the goldsmith, Antonio the carpenter, and Lopu the joiner!... We and Bartow have all organized sailors together and taught Columbus a lesson!... This Santa Maria can't stay on the ship anymore, so we all went to the sea with me.
Tower number!"
"Okay! Chachu, I'll go with you!..."
"Not bad! Listen to you!..."
"Brothers Hiramatsu are reliable! Their ships are also fast!..."
"Merda! What are you doing? Come back, come back quickly!..."
Under Columbus's angry and even horrified gaze, eight sailors and shipwrights on the flagship chose to join the Pinson brothers' ship. The two opposing teams were instantly divided into strong and weak ones. And the expeditionary force
The commander's majesty was completely trampled under the feet of the Hiramatsu brothers as the sailors kept spitting on the deck!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Haha! Praise the Lord! Since you have chosen to join my ship, from today on, you are my Dapingsong's family and brothers!..."
Dapingsong laughed proudly and patted Chachu's shoulder affectionately. Then, he squinted at Columbus's face, which was almost furious, and raised the corners of his mouth playfully.
"Vicente, it's your turn..."
“Praise the Lord! Thank you, distinguished Commander Columbus, for your generous support!…”
With a polite smile on his face, Xiaopingsong made another invisible courtesy to Columbus. Then, he bowed deeply and spoke respectfully to the two representatives of the Castilian royal family in a noble and gorgeous tone.
send invitation.
"Dear Royal Steward, Dear Clerk! May I have the honor to invite you two to board my Ninja?...Blessed Mother! The current Ninia should be more suitable for use than the damaged Santa Maria.
The flagship of the fleet..."
“Holy Blessing!…”
Seeing that the situation on the Santa Maria had been decided, the royal butler Gutierrez nodded slightly with a warm smile. He looked apologetically at the second captain Dela Cosa and then at the clerk Rodrigo.
.Finally, he bowed slightly to Columbus and said calmly.
"Dear Admiral Columbus, before the fleet set off, the Queen granted me the power to make temporary arrangements... In view of the current situation, the Santa Maria will not be suitable as the flagship of the fleet... In order not to affect the renovation of the Santa Maria
, without increasing the burden on the ship, the clerk and I will go to the Ninya..."
"Damn it!...Dear Royal Steward! I am the commander of the expeditionary force appointed by the Queen herself. You can't leave my ship, you can't leave!..."
"Of course, the Lord is witness! Dear Lord Columbus, there is no doubt that you are the commander of the fleet appointed by the Queen..."
The smile of the royal butler Gutierrez remained unchanged and his manners were etiquette. He saluted Columbus again and replied calmly.
"But, I'm sorry. I will continue the work and tasks assigned to me by the Queen on the Ninnia... I think you are a responsible fleet commander who can assume the responsibility of supporting other ships. And the two captains of Pinzon
, who is also an excellent captain of the Kingdom, will help with the repair of the Santa Maria...right? Respected Martin Alonso Pinzon, and His Excellency Vicente Yáñez Pinzon?..."
"Yes, I have no objection to this! Dear Royal Steward, I will give the extra stern sail and supplies to Commander Columbus... Please come on board!..."
Captain Kohiramatsu smiled slightly, stretched out his arms gracefully, and guided the two royal representatives. The two clerks of the flagship also hugged the documents on the ship and left the flagship with the two royal representatives. Before turning around and leaving
, Xiaopingsong finally looked at Columbus, who had a dark face and gritted his teeth, bowed seriously, and said with a smile.
"Thank you sincerely, Commander Columbus! You are the fleet commander appointed by the Queen. The remaining 22 people on the Santa Maria are all yours!..."
