My Italy

The South China Sea has returned to calm after the typhoon, and the sea is no longer rough. The fishermen in Pontianak also took advantage of the time when the typhoon left to prepare to go to the sea. After all, they had taken a break from the typhoon for several days. If they didn't go to the sea to fish quickly, if another typhoon came, it wouldn't be easy for the whole family to live in harmony with Fengbei. wind.

Song Asheng, like other fishermen, rowed his boat to prepare to unload the cages. The cages on the boat were piled up like mountains. This was the result of the hard work of him and his family over the past few days.

"Goddess Mazu bless me, I will definitely gain a big harvest this time. As long as I can raise enough money to treat Brother Song, I will definitely ask the three animals to fulfill my wish."

Of course, the three animals Song Asheng talked about were naturally the small ones. He couldn't afford the big three animals like pigs, cows and sheep. Only the gentlemen in the city could afford them. Moreover, in addition to buying pig heads for Xiao San Sheng, you can catch fish yourself, and there are two chickens at home.

However, Song Asheng looked sad when he thought of Doctor Liu's payment for the medicinal materials that he wanted to give to his son Brother Song. They were all expensive medicinal materials and cost several Dutch dollars. This was a bit difficult.

But when he thought of the Dutch devils' arrogance in Pontianak, Song Asheng couldn't help but spit, they were just beasts.

Just as Song Asheng was thinking about what was on his mind, suddenly the people around him started to make a commotion.

"Look, there's a ship coming."

"It looks like a big warship."

"Could it be a Dutch warship?"

As soon as these words came out, all the fishing boats out to sea immediately turned around and rushed back. Over the years, Dutch warships have become accustomed to being arrogant and domineering, causing countless injustices. Who is not afraid of them?

But they didn't know that what arrived this time was not a Dutch warship, but a Qing warship that got lost in the typhoon.

"Deng, why are these people so afraid of us?"

On the Zhiyuan ship, Leifer, who served as the chief instructor of the Zhiyuan ship, put down the telescope in his hand and expressed his doubts to Deng Shichang beside him. Leifer spoke English, because Deng Shichang also spoke English, so the communication between the two could only be completed in English.

He remembered that the Zhiyuan ship had been watched by tens of thousands of people everywhere it arrived. Even in Singapore, where the British were, the welcome they received was equally great. Unexpectedly, after encountering a typhoon and deviating from the course, there would still be such a situation. And judging from his clothes, he should be an overseas immigrant from the Qing Dynasty.

"Maybe they mistook us for warships from other countries."

Deng Shichang, who also put down his telescope, looked at the flagpole and saw that the dragon flag on it was gone. "Asshole, I said how could this happen and why didn't you quickly raise the flag again?"

"Take care, sir, the wind has broken the rope."

"Then pick it up quickly."

Under Deng Shichang's scolding, the warship's dragon flag was finally hoisted.

After the flag was hung, the commotion of the fishermen in the distance gradually subsided.

As the Zhiyuan ship raised the dragon flag, the situation was reversed.

"Look, it's the imperial warship."

The sharp-eyed fishermen immediately spotted the dragon flag on the Zhiyuan ship and shouted.

"Yes, could it be that the imperial court has sent troops?"

"The imperial court finally remembered us."

There was a lot of chatter on the fishing boats immediately, but a few fishing boats immediately speeded up and rowed towards the shore. They needed to inform others about the people coming from the court.

After approaching the offshore, the Zhiyuan ship stopped. There is no port here. The Zhiyuan ship has a deep draft and can only dock in the offshore. However, in order to find out where they were, Deng Shichang and others boarded the traffic boat and prepared to ask. fishermen here.

Facing the officers and soldiers of the Zhiyuan who came ashore, the surrounding fishermen gathered around submissively.

Faced with this situation, Deng Shichang frowned, thought about it, pointed to a fisherman and said. "Excuse me, where is this?"

It was Song Asheng who was being questioned by Deng Shichang. Facing Deng Guandai, who was wearing a flower feather on his head, Song Asheng was agitated for a while, but he still answered Deng Shichang's questions.

"My lord, this is Pontianak."

After hearing Song Asheng's words, Deng Shichang said to Leifer beside him. "It turns out that when we arrived in Pontianak, we really didn't expect to come here."

"Deng, I think we should meet with the local leader. In addition, we need to replenish some fruits and vegetables. Many of them are broken on the ship."

Faced with Deng Shichang's words, Leifer stated the current needs on warships. After the typhoon, many vegetables and fruits on the warship are no longer edible. Although they are not far from their next destination, Hong Kong, it is not a bad thing to be prepared.

It was obvious that Deng Shichang heard what Leifer said, and he spoke directly to Song Asheng. "Can you introduce me to your clan leader or leader?"

Deng Shichang didn't consider this a request, Song Asheng immediately patted his chest and promised.

"Sir, please rest assured. If someone comes from the Heavenly Kingdom, the clan leader will beat gongs and drums to welcome him."

"It doesn't have to be so grand. I just want to buy some supplies."

However, Song Asheng would definitely not hear what Deng Shichang said because he had already rushed to find the clan leader.

Without keeping Deng Shichang and others waiting, Song Asheng quickly came over with the clan leader.

"The old man Song Mingli has met the great master of his homeland."

As soon as he saw Deng Shichang, Patriarch Song was ready to kneel down and salute.

"Clan Chief Song is too polite. There is no need to perform this great ceremony."

Deng Shichang did not allow Patriarch Song to salute successfully and stepped forward to catch him.

Patriarch Song was also a sensible person. When he saw that Deng Shichang and others were unwilling to accept the gift, he lost his temper.

"I don't know if there is anything that needs the help of Angel of the Homeland. Our Songjia Village will definitely help."

"Nothing, the main thing is that we want to purchase a batch of fruits and vegetables for use on the ship."

Facing Deng Shichang's words, a trace of disappointment flashed in Patriarch Song's eyes, but he quickly covered it up.

"That's no problem, it's a piece of cake."

After speaking, he spoke to a young man behind him who was following him. "Song San, go back to the village and ask everyone to prepare a batch of fruits and vegetables to deliver to you. Tell you, they must be fresh."

As his words fell, the young man named Song San immediately ran back all the way.

Although Patriarch Song had concealed it well just now, the worry in his eyes was seen by Deng Shichang.

"Mr. Song, I don't know what to worry about."

"It's nothing. Since the warships of the motherland are here to purchase supplies, we don't dare bother you, sir."

Patriarch Song's secretive attitude made Deng Shichang curious.

"If my father-in-law is in any trouble, just say it's okay and I won't spread the word."

"It's nothing, it's just that the Dutch were trying to occupy Pontianak, and Liu Tongzhi led the big guys to fight the Dutch. At first we thought they were sent by the imperial court to support me and others."

The Liu Tongzhi mentioned by the Song clan chief was the son of the former ruler Liu Shoushan. After Liu Shoushan's death last year, the Dutch took advantage of the unstable situation in Lanfang and the outbreak of the Sino-French war, so they took the opportunity to try to bring it under their own jurisdiction. In order to survive, the Lanfang Republic reached an agreement with the Dutch and existed in a vassal-like mode. However, the Dutch have never given up their ambition to annex this fertile land that the Chinese have worked hard to develop.

The words of Patriarch Song left Deng Shichang speechless. Without the order of the imperial court, he could not have ordered to fire on the Netherlands, although the Zhiyuan ship under his command was more powerful than any Dutch warship.

However, it is not Deng Shichang's style to do nothing when encountering such a thing. After some consideration, he said to an officer beside him. "Zhiquan, ask someone to collect the guns on the ship and transport them all over."

Yes, although he does not have the right to fire, he still has the right to send some guns to express his attitude. (Warships have always been equipped with guns. At that time, it was basically the case for warships to have hundreds of them.)

"Sir, I'm afraid it will be difficult to communicate with the superior if you do this."

"Listen to me, just say it's a typhoon loss."

After finishing speaking, Deng Shichang looked at Leifer.

"No problem. If it were me, I would do the same thing. Soldiers should be civilians."

Since both of them agree, things will be easier to handle. So he took out nearly a hundred guns from the Zhiyuan ship and asked the Song patriarch to hand them over to Liu Tongzhi on his behalf.

Although Leifer concealed it, he sent it as an anecdote when reporting to the country.

So Carlo also knew about it.
