Chapter 42: Fanhai was hit by the wind

Brother Zuo pressed the wrist-removing knife to make sure that he could pull it out at any time.

He was very familiar with this exotic straight-blade sword, but he did not have enough confidence to kill the old noble guard on the opposite side with his hand pressed on the long sword as soon as the accident happened.

The wrist-removing sword is usually used to assassinate or slaughter. It is said that soldiers often use it to cut off the tendons on the enemy's neck after the battle to get the head, but it is not good at chopping and has no guards. Therefore, Brother Zuo decided that if the guard on the opposite side had any abnormal movement, he would hit him first. As long as the long sword could not be wielded, he could protect his sister and nephew.

The nephew is the key to helping the siblings survive this disaster.

From the names of the two people on the left, we can see how casual their parents named their parents. In fact, they were both accidents. The father is a second-generation Spanish mixed-race veteran and his mother is an indigenous slave in Lima. The two of them did not hold weddings in the church from beginning to end. First, they had the sister on the right, and then the brother on the left. Because they were fathers who were recruiting the rebellion with the army for many years, they did not take good care of their families, and the left died prematurely, and later they had the small left.

Although no one can tell whether their mother is a wife or a slave, the drunkard in his father's life is still a good deal with the drunkard, and the brothers are hungry and full year, which is much better than most mixed-race children born in Peru.

At that time, they were full or hungry, and it depends on when the kingdom far away was far away in Spain and paid the army.

Due to the three years of the Dutch rebellion, the king was in a bad mood, which also affected his father's mood. He beat their mother to death after being drunk.

Later, my father served normally until the First War in Mingxi started on Cangming Sect. At that time, Peru didn’t even call it Cangming Sect. Because of the name of Magellan, everyone called the sea the Pacific Ocean.

On the eve of the war, he got drunk again, but he did not beat their siblings after getting drunk. Instead, he said that they discovered a new land and kept saying that he could do what Pizarro could do. He said for the first time that he would buy a large manor and plantation for the siblings when he came back. He said that if he went to the new new continent to be the governor of the new world, he would not have to worry about them starving to death. Before he could make life moved, the drunkard thought about it and said: If you two starve to death, I don’t have to worry anymore. After that, he would fall asleep.

No one takes these wishes seriously. A drunkard will forget everything he said the next night or the third day when he wakes up. It is true later. He does not say anything when he boards the ship like those 20,000 soldiers who have sent more than a dozen fleets of ships to the west to cross the sea.

That time, the destination of the Spanish sailing ship was Guam, but later people seemed to have changed their name in their minds. People called it the Battle of Linlai Island. Anyway, Xiao Zuo waited on the shore for three months before finally confirming that the surviving person was not that old bastard.

Later, the life of the siblings on the beach was much worse than before. The little Zuo brother, who had no other choice, could not make it on the street, and he was helpless. The Spaniards did not accept him, and the Incas did not accept him. The mixed-race boys who never gathered together were even more unacceptable. As the governor of Peru led a large recruitment, he became a sailor in the governor of Peru at a young age.

The sailors had a low status and clearly defined class on the ship, which was the most depressing and angry. Xiao Zuo originally thought that he would be like this in his life, and he didn't know when he would be buried in the belly of a fish. The siblings finally ushered in his own luck.

That was just a short time after the Second War in Mingxi Province. When the situation of the Ming army and the Bernard Legion landed in Mexico was not yet clear, an exotic merchant ship hanging onto the shore was washed by the waves, and the stern rudder rod was broken by shells. The sailors died and fled. Only the sister found the ship at night.

Later, my sister said that the ship was stranded on the beach next to their house. When she ran on the boat, she was stunned by the scene inside the cabin. The wood of the whole ship was beautiful red, and the walls of the cabin were hung with beautiful portraits. On the top of the cabin, all kinds of wood and paper lamps were hung with square lattices. Some of the lamps were on it, and some fell to the ground but extinguished themselves, and they could not cause a fire.

On the tilted cabin deck were bottles and jars made of white gems that she had never seen before, and fragments produced by their collision. The fragments were painted as human images, animal images, and scenery images, which were people and things she had never seen before.

Of course, my sister later recalled that there should be corpses in luxurious clothes, rolling shells and weapons in the cabin at that time, but she could not pay attention to those unbeautiful scenes at that time. At the end of the cabin, there was a foreign man still alive. His hair was combed in a high bun, covered with delicate black nets, his forehead was broken by the corners of the table, his chin was covered with delicate beards, and he wore a short robe that she had never seen before. He pointed at himself with a clever crossbow in one hand, and his hand held a short knife without a handguard to protect the box behind him.

Along the white pieces of gems everywhere, the wooden box was open and scarlet, and the deck was covered with white and blue satin, and he said in awkward Spanish, saying that his name was Ren Ping.

After that, Dereta tried to recall many times. Ren Ping said that he had said a lot of things at that time, threatening her and bribing her, but she didn't remember it. He said that he came from Huizhou of the Ming Empire, but she thought he should be a god.

Only gods would ride such a magnificent ship and wear such exquisite fabrics.

So she firmly believed that it was her duty to rescue the invading gods.

What happened later was like a cycle of reincarnation. In the confrontation between the Naval Battle of Guidao, the fleet where Xiao Zuo Ge was located confronted the Ming fleet with a terrifying firepower for half a month. The fleet commander ordered the return, and most of them returned to Lima safely. He also applied for retirement because he looked at the Nantang ship from a distance, thinking that if he would continue to stay in the army, he would sooner or later throw his life at the sea. When he returned, he found that there were more people in his family.

enemy.

Like their mother, Xiao Zuo also couldn't tell whether his sister was a wife or a servant to the enemy who spread her hair down and pretended to be an Inca.

In fact, nothing is important to both the siblings. What is important is that he rarely drinks and does not hit people even when he is drunk. He just rhythmically at night in words that no one can understand. He goes to the beach where no one can sing and dance, or sits on the cliff and faces the waves and blows a wooden stick with holes, picks up his cup to toast the moon.

But more often, Ren Ping would do useful things, teach his sister to weave cloth, and use wood to make machines that can make a person faster than ten people spin yarn and weave cloth; teach his younger brother how to arithmetic and business skills, and how to deal with relationships between people.

Later, the Second War in Mingxi ended with Marshal Chen Mu of the Ming Empire and Duke Alva of the Spanish Kingdom signing a peace treaty in Mexico... For them, it is not worth caring for whoever wins and who loses in this war.

Peace is far more important than winning or losing.

My sister became pregnant with Xiao Yuer, and my younger brother escorted Ren Ping to Changsheng, and followed her to Luzon.

Ren Ping did not come back. He docked at Luzon and handed the ship full of goods to Xiao Zuo, saying that he would take another boat to continue to travel west to India and ask him to take good care of Xiao Yuer and his sister.

In this way, the two mixed-race children had a dream about Western gods, and their lives changed drastically. They had their own shops at the center of Lima City, and they became extraordinary people in the city, living a life that they never dared to imagine in the past.

In fact, there is a record of this incident in the Eastern Military Palace, which is about the purchase of the Eastern Army's baggage ship that year, and there is only one sentence.
