Chapter 117 Who are they?

The two Virginia-class warships were about 500 meters away from each other, and the eight guns were fired in one round, which gave the ship the ship that had lost most of its speed. Several large holes were added to the starboard sideways of the sailboat. The splashing warhead fragments and wood chips swept down a large area of ​​sailors and gunners on the deck near the starboard. Seeing that their ship was about to capsize, the people living on it did not abandon the ship to escape, but instead got into the cabin. They didn't know what to hit, and sang songs at the rhythm and sank into the sea with their warships.

"Let our priests give them a farewell ceremony. These people are enemies and soldiers worthy of our respect." Hong Tao originally wanted to force them to abandon their ships and surrender, but he did not expect that these Dutch people were so fierce, fighting to the death, and finally chose to live and die with their own warships. At this time, it was no longer possible to rescue. Anything close to this wreck might be hung by the ropes on it, and he could only watch its mast and singing slowly disappear on the sea.

Dutch people, yes, Hong Tao heard a pronunciation similar to later generations of German from their singing. In his previous life, he knew a Dutch hunter named Xiaopeng. The Dutch he and his sister spoke probably had this taste. But it seems that there is no Netherlands yet. Most of the areas in later generations of Netherlands and Belgium belong to the German Kingdom, and a small part is within the territory of the French Kingdom.

Whether they were Dutch people, you just need to ask the people on Carl's whaling fleet to know that there were no prisoners. Not everyone was as sank as the sailors of this ship. There were still many living people on the first sunk ship, all of whom were rescued by the salmon-class armed cargo ship in their fleet.

"His Majesty the Emperor, the Lord praises you..." The highest commander in the whaling fleet was actually a black slave in North Africa. He seemed to have converted to Christianity, but his habit of flattering was similar to that of Mettini, and his movements and gestures were the same.

"Stop talking nonsense, tell me why they besieged you and who are they?" Hong Tao was too lazy to listen to such high-quality skills. The black captain's nonsense was even less recognized by Hong Tao. As soon as he opened his head, he was ruthlessly interrupted.

"They claimed to be Flanders Hanseatic, and said that this sea area was their whaling place and we were not allowed to catch whales here. We fought once at the beginning of the year. That time, their boats were less and they suffered losses. This time they hid six ships behind the island in the south and used two ships to lead us over to steal our ships. Fortunately, Your Majesty appeared here in time like an angel, praising the Lord..." The black captain's Chinese is very good. It seems that he has been with Carl for many years. His words are straightforward, but he just wants to praise him as he speaks, which is very annoying.

"Flanders Hanseatic! Are you sure it's the name? Do you know where they came from? Do you know about this?" It turned out that the two sides fought for whaling waters, or were old enemies, but the word Hanseatic surprised Hong Tao. This is a Germanic word, probably the same as the guild and alliance. Later generations had the Rhinehansa and Swabian Hanseatic. The most famous Hanseatic alliance also had the same meaning. But this kind of commercial city alliance organization should not have appeared in the thirteenth century. It seems that it will take hundreds of years before it will have a chance to come out. Why is it now? What is Flanders?

"It should be this name, I won't hear it wrong. The Earl just asks about such a small matter. The Baron said that all the sea belongs to your Majesty. We don't need to listen to other people's whaling wherever we go. If we don't let it go, we will beat anyone else. If we can't beat it, we will help the Baron Miss." The black captain couldn't understand where the Hanseatic alliance came from, but he recorded Jiang Zhuyi's orders clearly. It seems that Carl no longer cared about Carl Fort now. He focused most of his energy on the oil tanker and Mia Fort. It is estimated that the latter would have to be more.

"You go back to the boat first, don't catch whales, follow me back to Carl Fort. Prepare a small boat for me, and I'll go to the cargo ship to see the prisoners." Hong Tao didn't plan to talk to the black captain anymore. He was also a traitor. He could have too little cargo in his mind and could not be broken with him. If you want to know more details, you have to go directly to interrogate the prisoners.

"I am the Eastern Emperor who once bombarded the Church of Genoa and washed away the Knights. Who can understand Latin?" There were seventeen prisoners, four or five injured, all of whom were tied up and kneeled on the deck.

"Where is English?" Hong Tao originally wanted to report his name and give these sailors a warning, but unfortunately, these people were confused after hearing his words, and obviously couldn't understand what he was saying.

"My name is Hank, I'll help..." This time someone finally made a conversation. A big bearded man with a bandage on his arm understood Hong Tao's words and stuttered in English with a weird accent.

"Hank? Tell me where you are from and I will treat you." Although he felt that this person's English level was at most equivalent to the third grade of elementary school, and treating the disease was to save his life, Hong Tao still tried to make his expression look kinder, and squatted in front of the bearded man and pointed at his injured arm.

"Copenhagen? Copenhagen!" Hank only knows how to speak a few simple English words, and the rest is all in his hometown dialect. After muttering several times, Hong Tao finally heard a word he could roughly understand in his tuner's ear. In order to confirm whether it was this word, Hong Tao tried to shrink his tongue back and try to imitate the German pronunciation as much as possible.

"...Copenhagen..." Hank seemed to understand Hong Tao's pronunciation, and smiled with a mouth full of black and yellow teeth.

"Treat them with injuries and feed them. But you can't relax your vigilance. These people are all Nordic barbarians, so it's best to tie them with iron chains." Hong Tao probably figured out where these people came from. They are Danes. No wonder they always feel like Viking pirates when they look at this outfit. If they wear a horn hat on their heads, they will look 100%. She can't speak German, let alone Danish, and she has never heard of them. The prisoners did not speak Latin and English, so the interrogation could not continue. The answer was to go to Carlborough to ask Jiang Zhuyi. She claimed to be a European bag.

Now Carl Fort should be changed to its name, and it is more appropriate to call Baron Jiang Castle. The new castle on the west side of the bay has been completed. Regardless of its size, height or appearance, Carl Fort on the east side of the bay looks like a rustic bun, lying there in darkness.

After entering the castle, Hong Tao finally believed in Frederi II's words. Jiang Zhuyi held half of the wealth of Europe in his pocket. Completed, unfinished, gold-inlaid, gold-inlaid, engraved, hollowed out, stone, wooden, metal, various sculptures, decorations started from the gate, to the corridor and then to the hall, and were everywhere. The floor was covered with thick Persian carpets, which were still customized, because there were some patterns of Baron Castle, Lin'an City, and West Lake. The money spent on these decorations, carpets, and furniture was probably enough to build another Carl Fort.

"Look, how about it, this is my palace!" In the center of the second floor of the Baron Castle, there is a hall with eight pillars, almost reaching the height of the badminton hall. On the wall on the front of the hall, there is a huge portrait of a person. It is a man wearing the royal naval uniform of the Golden River Empire and a golden crown on his head. There are two faint scars on his left face that pass through the long and thin eyes, and there is a hint of sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"You even put me in a statue and placed it at the entrance of the castle, I don't like this too luxurious style! But this is your money, I won't interfere, just don't use public funds." This painting did not show its tall and mighty power. Hong Tao was not very satisfied, and he also reminded Jiang Zhuyi not to do his own things too much.

"This is a painting by Sai Fei. It took almost two years to finish the work. Should you comment again?" Jiang Zhuyi was not scared by Hong Tao's words. She had another killer weapon.

"I didn't say that this portrait is not good. Sefei got my true teachings. In this portrait, you can see the perfect combination of Eastern and Western painting art! Moreover, Sefei's grasp of the character is very accurate, showing my perseverance, kindness, kindness and handsomeness to the fullest. Especially this ecstasy smile is a yearning for beautiful things. Please think about it for me, and then write down my words and hand it over to Sefei. This is a father's recognition of his son's achievements. He cannot be careless. His personality is too weak and needs recognition!" Even if Hong Tao knew that this was Jiang Zhuyi's trick, he had to praise him against his conscience and pretend to be very knowledgeable. He was afraid that this woman would hide Sefei nearby and stop, so she would definitely do such a thing.

"Hehehehe...I just like you're arrogant all the time." Jiang Zhuyi and Hong Tao had similar smells. Not only did they not despise Hong Tao's boastful behavior, but they also leaned up with their eyes blurred, looking very intoxicated.

"...I won't talk about this for now. I want to ask you another thing. Have you heard of the name Flanders Hansea?" Hong Tao didn't want to ask about how Jiang Zhuyi fooled Sei Fei. Not only did the child look like himself, his personality was not similar, and his IQ didn't inherit his own intelligence. If Jiang Zhuyi wanted to fool him, there were at least dozens of ways. Not only Sei Fei, Senia was probably fooled by this woman.

"I heard that they are a group of profiteers, more hateful than Venetians! What's wrong? You have to deal with them? That's great, don't be ruthless! But it's better not to kill them all and catch them back for me. I need their brains. These people are very good at doing business." The name Hong Tao said did not surprise Jiang Zhuyi too much. She seemed to have known the name a long time ago, and she also had hatred.

"Tell me what they are and how they provoked you." Since Jiang Zhuyi knew the name, Hong Tao was relieved. He simply found a chair to sit down, picked up the wine bottle on the table and made a glass of himself first, then lit a cigar, and listened to the story slowly.
