Chapter 59 Ambitious Tsarist Russia(1/2)

The Baoen quickly swept through the sea like a flying fish.

"Richard, what is our current speed?" Dong Liang stood on the slender first pillar of the Bao En.

American merchant ships did not have the habit of installing sculptures on the first pillar.

The small spinnade pulled out from the first pillar was blown up by the sea breeze and spread out behind Dong Liang, like his wings.

"Ten knots, my captain. This is our normal cruise speed." Richard has become familiar with Dong Liang these days.

If we put aside Dong Liang's cold side when he killed someone that day, the captain was not bad.

He even occasionally tells a few embarrassing jokes.

The captain also has extensive knowledge, and his understanding of the world is enough to be a university professor.

"How long will it take to get to Jilong Port?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, you will arrive in two days."

"Wow...ha..."

On the open space on the deck, Mr. Kang Ba was taking the guards to punch.

People in the life group are preparing meals. There are rice, pickles, potatoes on the boat. These things are made in the hands of foreigners like pig food.

Now that we have come to the hands of Chinese workers, we can make different tricks.

Under Chen Deli's command, the sailors are learning to climb the masts. Climbing the masts is the basic skill of picking hands.

Zhuo Lang and several other children were reciting the rules of disciples in the captain's office.

A few wild children crawled around on the boat all day long, and they seemed to be very comfortable with life on the boat.

Once, Dong Liang even saw them climbing to the top of the mast.

So his instinct to be a teacher in his previous life exploded, and he began to let a few people study, saving them from danger.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew from the sea, and Dong Liang shivered.

He didn't care, but Richard's face changed.

"Captain, it may be a strong wind."

Seeing Richard's terrified expression, Dong Liang felt that he was a little exaggerated.

"Richard, it's just a wind blowing, we just have to close the wing sails. There are no typhoons this season, so what are you afraid of!"

The biggest features of fly-scissors are the low deck, hollow bow, large aspect ratio, and a sail-mounted structure that maximizes the area.

In addition to the main mast, its long head pillar is hung with spinning sails. Moon sails and cable sails will be installed at the top of the mast. There are extended sail bars on both sides, and wing sails will be installed on them.

This kind of ship can be said to have used sails to the extreme.

However, when encountering strong winds, most of the auxiliary sails must be retracted.

"Captain, we were sailing against the wind. Such cold winds often indicate strong winds and waves. It is too dangerous to go against the wind and waves."

Dong Liang quickly called Chen Deli and others.

But everyone felt that it was more dangerous to adjust the course at this time.

The nearest land is Dongfan Island (people in Fujian Province are used to calling Taiwan Island Dongfan Island at this time). It is better to take a look and rush over.

Richard tried his best to explain to everyone, but everyone did not trust him.

In the evening, the west sky was covered with scarlet fire clouds, like the bloody mouth of a giant beast.

The "Baoen" seemed to be heading towards the giant beast's big mouth.

Dong Liang also felt the seriousness of the situation and took Richard to check the deck and check the spare sail cable.

As night fell, the wind speed on the sea suddenly increased.

Although it is not as good as a typhoon, the sailing boat is like a leaf, and it seems that it may be out of control at any time.

Dong Liang rushed into the cabin, leaving only dozens of the most skilled sailor team members on duty with foreign sailors on the deck.

He himself hid in the captain's room.

"Afu, how did you ask you to inquire with the Chinese workers?" Dong Liang asked.

"Second uncle, I asked dozens of people, and half of them believed that the government would stand on our side."

"Uncle Second, you said that the government will really help foreigners deal with our own people?"

Dong Liang had a little disappointed in his eyes: "Afu, you can't believe in the second uncle? The court is afraid of foreigners now. We ordinary people will die if they die. However, if there is a dispute with foreigners, the local officials will not be able to take it."

"Uncle Second, what should we do?"

"Ah Fu, we can no longer be good people, but we have people now, with guns and boats, and I will make everyone live better than before."

"Uncle Second, I have told me all the truths you asked me to say, but those people don't believe it, they just want to go home."

Since I have sent myself a boat at the beginning, four hundred Chinese workers.

Dong Liang felt that this was the capital he started with.

They offended foreigners, but local governments could not tolerate them anymore.

Foreigners and the Qing court were their enemies from now on.

Dong Liang knew that he must take a path to fight these enemies in the future.

He must make these 400 young and strong Chinese workers stand on his side.

It is obviously not enough to let these people rebel with them.

These people have no blood in their bodies, and are more of the slavery instilled in the Qing Dynasty into the people.

...

"Gong Gong Dong, it's not good, the foreign sailors have rebelled."

At this moment, Chen Deli came to the captain's room in panic, and even forgot the captain's name.

Dong Liang glanced at Richard, and the other party shook his head in horror.

"Brother Chen, go and call Master Eighth, I'll go and have a look."

Dong Liang's calm expression made Chen Deli feel a little relieved.

At this time, Mr. Kang Ba was hiding in the cabin with his guards. The wind was strong and the waves were high outside. The freeboard of the fly-scissor ship was very low, and he would be swept into the sea if he was accidentally.

Sailor leader David Banner seized this opportunity and seized the axe used to chop sail cables on the deck, and suddenly attacked the Chinese workers in the sailor team, cutting down many people one after another.

Other foreign sailors attacked together under his instigation.

The deck was shaking violently.

The Chinese workers in the sailors' team were unable to stand firmly.

"Howard, go and seal the hatch door." David Banner ordered loudly.

At this time, the people in the cabin could only hear the loud sound of waves slapping on the deck, and they had no idea what was going on.

Fortunately, Chen Deli was smart and went to Dong Liang as soon as possible.

Dong Liang came to the deck swayingly.

Under the dim ship lights, he saw the Chinese workers in the sailors team being forced backwards by several foreign sailors holding axes.

Dong Liang raised the revolver in his hand and shot at several foreign sailors.

But at this time, the "Baoen" shook violently.

Even Dong Liang could not hit the opponent even if he was a sharpshooter.

But the gunfire sounded, which made the foreign sailors pause for a moment.

"Go up and kill these yellow-skinned monkeys, he can't hit us." David Banner shouted to several sailors.

Sailors are usually held by the boat, and they have a high prestige among sailors.

David Banner was a very forbearing person. After the captain was captured, it was under Banner's suggestion that a group of sailors surrendered.

At that time, if they insisted on resisting, they could defeat these Chinese workers.

But it will inevitably ruin the captain's life.

But Dong Liang later killed the captain and asked each of them to finish the attack on the captain.

Banner felt that he had suffered a great humiliation, so he had already begun to plan to retaliate against these piglets and take the ship back.

In the following time, they were surrounded by piglets every day and had no chance to move.

Until today, there were great storms on the sea, and the piglets could not stay on the deck. There were only one or two piglets left by each of them. Banner saw the opportunity.

He took advantage of the piglet beside him not paying attention, picked up the emergency axe on the deck and chopped the two of them one after another.

The other sailors also cooperated with him in a tacit way.

Dong Liang still underestimated the bloodiness of these foreign sailors.

Of course, this Banner is also very hiding.
