Pillars of the Wu family

Chapter 152 Frank Argot

Perhaps because the Nanman ship is still a new thing, many travelers always stop and look carefully when they pass by. When Kiragi saw a few monks standing in the crowd silently chanting scriptures, they probably regarded the Nanman people as monsters. It means to pray to the gods and Buddhas to protect the believers from being deceived.

"Let's go! Go and have a look first!" There were two guards, Watanabe Takatsuna and Yamaoka Zenjiro, and a dozen or so people from the side to block them. Kira Yoshitoki and his party quickly squeezed through the crowd and reached the crowd. It was only in front of him that he realized that he was watching something exciting, but he didn't know what happened.

A townsman shouted excitedly: "Look! The yellow-haired Nanman and the red-haired Nanman seem to be arguing!"

"Idiot! You just know! I've been watching it all morning, but I just can't understand what they are arguing about." Another townsman said triumphantly.

"Since you don't understand what you're talking about!"

"You bastard, say one more thing!" Before the Nanman on the top started fighting, the two idiots below hugged each other and started fighting. Some children were making noise there, making the Nanman on the pier think they were cheering for themselves and instead quarreled. more fierce.

Yoshishi Kira stared around for a long time and suddenly exclaimed: "Hey! There seems to be a Nanban loli among the crowd! It seems that their situation is not good!"

Kira Yoshitoki rolled his eyes, greeted Yamaoka Shichang, leaned forward and listened to his ear, and the latter nodded, then coughed twice, and shouted: "Everyone, make room! We obey the order of the house and investigate the battle between the Nanman ships. !"

Shouting several times was really effective. The townspeople who watched the bustle hurriedly made way for them to pass. Simple townspeople would not think that someone pretended to be an order from the house, especially when they saw that these dozen people were all with swords in their waists and hips. The whole person's temperament It was completely different from ordinary people, especially the tall and burly man in the lead, standing there like a huge rock, giving the townspeople who watched the excitement a sense of suffocation and oppression.

Squeezing through the crowd, I saw that the numbers of the two gangs of Nanban were uneven. The one with the larger group was bullying the side with the smaller group. I don’t know what they were arguing about. Seeing the unfriendly expressions of the Nanban sailors, Yoshihiro Kira ordered Yamaoka to Shi Chang continued to play, and Yamaoka Shi Chang lived up to the expectations and walked up to the two gangs of Nanban people, put his hands on his hips and shouted: "Hey! You Nanban people, listen up! We are ordered to inspect the port affairs, and I, Sakai-cho's law, stipulates that no one in the port Gathering a crowd to make trouble! No matter what your reasons are, leave immediately!"

The two gangs of southern barbarians were stunned for a while, confused about the situation. There was a man of yellow race in the crowded side, and one of the middle-aged businessmen was translating in a low voice. After a while, the translator with the sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks hesitated a little. He came out and said respectfully: "Our ship owner is Sir Francisco Alberta from the Spanish Empire. He wants to establish an equal trade relationship with your Chamber of Commerce. I don't know..."

"I don't understand what you said, let your captain go to Nakanomachi to talk to our leader! I'll say it again, you guys leave immediately!" Yamaoka waved his hand impatiently, interrupting the long-winded speech of the translator, and continued to drive them away spread.

"Okay, okay! Let's leave now!" The interpreter hurriedly bowed and ran back. After a while, the siege of the southern barbarians slowly dissipated. Sometimes I hold back and want to laugh.

Seeing that there was no excitement to watch, the townspeople also slowly dispersed. Yoshihiro Kira was about to leave with someone, but the little loli who had been hiding in the crowd suddenly ran over to stop him, only to find that he was still a blonde The little loli, who is as cute as a doll, has blue eyes with long eyelashes, a small nose and pink lips, gestured to Yoshiki Kira and said, "%¥*!"

"I don't understand!" Yoshiki Kira scratched his head, trying to ask in substandard Nanman language: "Can you understand English?"

"Yes! Oh! God! I finally met someone with whom I can communicate! I was really scared just now! God bless! All this is finally over." The blond little Lolita let out a sigh of relief and crossed her hands in prayer.

"Okay, this is not suitable for chatting, you guys follow me." Ji Liangyi shrugged, and was about to pull the blond little loli away, when a middle-aged Nanman shouted something behind him, making the blond little loli stop After hesitating, he talked to the middle-aged man again, and the middle-aged man came over on his own initiative.

"Hi! My name is Frank Argot, and this is my niece, Claudia of York! We are from the Netherlands, thank you for your help!" The bearded middle-aged man named Frank gently tapped Bow down and thank Kira Yoshitoki for his help.

"Oh! Netherlands? That's wonderful! You have traveled half the world to the Western Pacific, haven't you? What a journey! I welcome you personally! Mr. Frank Argot, and the beautiful lady You can call me Joseph, Joseph of the East, please go this way! I think we should talk." When Yoshiki Kira was happy, he even changed Nanman dialect very smoothly.

He brought two people and a dozen sailors behind him to the Nanban Commercial Hall set up by Tennoji House. This is a two-story building with a strong Portuguese atmosphere. This is the privilege promised by Tsuda Zongji. , the steward guarding the Nanman trading house saw Yamaoka Shichang showing the warrant given by Tsuda Zongji, so he went back obediently and continued to sleep. This Nanman trading house has hardly been used since it was first established. Will be nosy.

During the chat on the road, I learned that it was a Dutch merchant ship to be precise. The adventurous Dutch followed the Portuguese fleet to East Asia, but it was obvious that the Portuguese did not welcome them, but the Dutch People told these Portuguese that they share the same king with the Spanish king, that is, the great Karl V of the Holy Roman Empire, that is, Carlos I of Spain.

Yoshishi Kira took the two Southern barbarians, one big and one small, up to the second floor, and left all his followers downstairs. A lot of thought was obviously spent on the exquisite decoration in the building, and the western mechanical clock was ticking away. There are also some unknown scrolls in the exquisite bookcase, a crooked globe, and an exquisite wine cabinet.

"Oh! This is such a good place! I didn't expect to find the feeling of home in the far east. This place is great! I like it very much!" Frank Argot praised loudly, and the exaggerated expression attracted the little blond loli There was a chuckle.

"Thank you for the compliment! If you have the opportunity to invite you to take a walk in Kyoto, it may give you some new feelings." Yoshitoki Kira politely thanked him for the compliment, and then asked impatiently: "Mr. Frank, can you tell me How did you get here? If I remember correctly, the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific should be the territory of the Spaniards and the Portuguese, I think you understand what I mean."

"Oh! Yes! Those goddamn bastards have taken over the whole world, and even the Atlantic Ocean will not let us enter, a group of unreasonable nouveau riche! We paid the tax and followed the Spanish route all the way to buy some local specialties , and then transported to the next destination, we did a few transactions to barely keep our capital, this is the last stop, we plan to return the same way after selling the goods.”

Frank complained incessantly about his arduous journey, the violent storm and the unfortunate sinking of a ship forever, and what was even more frightening was the entanglement of plague and scurvy. The downsizing finally brought them to the beautiful western Pacific Ocean. Japan will be their last stop. From here they will return along the original route, cross the Cape of Good Hope and finally return to Europe.
