Chapter 151 Recruitment

A large group of people of all colors are locked in a camp on Nanri Island. Among these people are not only Spaniards, but also some others, even individual Indians and Southeast Asians, and they have several unified identities. One of them are Spanish sailors and infantry, who once served in Xiban. The second is that they are all prisoners of sea wolves.

These are all Spanish soldiers and sailors captured by sea wolves in the Battle of Chicken Cage Bay. As for the more than 200 slaves and craftsmen, those black monkeys have been thrown into hard labor camps by Yu Xiaotian, while the builders and boat carpenters were sent to where they should go, starting for him Xiaotian went to work.

However, only a few dozen of these sailors and infantry have temporarily expressed their willingness to serve Yu Xiaotian in the future, but there are still hundreds of people who are still captured for the time being and can only be used as hard work.

At the other side of Keelung Fort, at the behest of Xiaotian, these guys were left in the quarry by Blackhead and Sun Baoqiang. They worked hard for two months. They could only work hard to mine stone for sea wolves under the encouragement of whips and rattan sticks and the threat of bayonets every day.

And they can only eat some of the simplest food every day, which is only enough for them to survive. At the end of the day, their hungry eyes are green.

But fortunately, the sea wolf does not want to starve them to death, or watch them die of illness and be consumed in vain, ensuring their minimum living conditions. When someone is sick, it also provides them with some basic medical care.

But even so, in the past two months, more than 30 people have died, and death threatens these guys at any time, making them worry about their fate tomorrow every day.

When the first time the sea wolf recruited personnel among them to help the sea wolf sail the two captured splint boats to Nanri Island, some people were recruited to leave them, but some people missed this good thing because they were a little late, so they could only continue to collect stones for the sea wolf in the quarry against the sun and wind and rain.

During this period, all their pride and arrogance were in the quarry, worn away by leather whips and rattan sticks and bayonets. As prisoners, they have no human rights. They have now realized their value. All glory is false, and eating is the most important thing.

One day after they were severely tortured for two months, suddenly these Chinese pirates loaded them all into several ships, pulled them to the island and locked them in the camp.

At first, these prisoners were scared to death, thinking that they were worthless. These Chinese pirates were going to kill them, and in the past two months, I don't know who it was. Among them, it was rumored that Chinese pirates liked to eat the human flesh of their Thai people and thought that eating their meat could aphrodisiac.

So these guys were even more frightened and uneasy about this, and after being sent to the island, they were surrounded by a camp. Many Chinese people came outside and pointed at them, as if they were picking fat and thin, which scared these guys even more, thinking that they were going to sell them. Drop it and feed it to these people.

But Fortunately, after two or three days, they did not find that any of them had been pulled out and eaten, and it seemed that the food had improved a little here. At least in the soup, they saw a little oil, and also ate some shrimp skin. If you put such food In the past, before they were captured, they would have slapped the table and cursed or *, but now they have a feeling of crying when they see such a soup with some oily flowers.

I heard that a large group of Thai light-skinned monkeys were transported to the island. Many people on Nanri Island came to see the fresh, and even some thick-skinned old women also ran to see it. As a result, they saw a group of bare Western light-skinned monkeys, circled in the camp, sitting idlely there drying their crotch.

Jilong Bay is very humid, coupled with no clothes to wear, and you have to work hard in the sun every day. Some of the things under the crotch are rotten, so now it is more comfortable to bask in the sun while the weather is good. As for the face, these guys have not wanted it for a long time.

Without clothes, naturally there is no dignity. In addition to having a full meal, what they are most eager for now is probably the most hope to put on their clothes back.

These prisoners don't know what these Chinese pirates suddenly sent them here, but for the time being, these pirates didn't want to kill them, so after two days, they gradually felt a little relieved.

On this day, a group of people came to their camp, surrounded by an extremely tall man. Even if this man is in Europe, he is definitely a very high-altitude person. On the Asian side, he is even more outstanding.

And they also saw that some of the people who came were Chinese interpreters they brought from Manila, but now they have all gone to work for the sea wolf. The smarter prisoners immediately realized that today will be the time to decide their fate, because these pirates must come with the translation and must follow him. If they can't seize the opportunity to communicate about something today, then they will always pick stones for these pirates.

They are really unbearable to look back on the days of picking stones. If they are given a chance now, they are willing to do anything for these pirates, as long as they are not allowed to continue to go to the quarry to pick stones.

Sure enough, after entering their camp, the tall pirate leader did not talk to them. He immediately asked a translator to take out a tin roll of the horn and began to speak loudly to them in Spanish.

"You guys have heard it clearly. The owner here asked me to tell you that now I can give you a way out and let you choose for yourself.

Now the host here is willing to recruit you and become his subordinates. Your Excellency the Grand Leader is willing to sign an agreement with you. After working for him here for five years, you can regain your freedom and choose to leave here by yourself or continue to serve the Grand Leader.

After you sign the agreement, you will not have to work in the quarry, but can work in the place he chooses for you and enjoy the same treatment as his soldiers.

In addition, he can also issue you a certain amount of silver coins every month. According to the work you can do, you can get at least three silver coins, and the highest is 20 silver coins.

You can choose to sign the contract or refuse to sign the contract. Those who choose to sign the contract can immediately get new clothes, better accommodation and better food, but those who refuse to sign the contract can choose to continue to return to the quarry until they die!

All right! That's all the leader asked me to tell you, and you can choose by yourself!

But please remember that as long as you sign the contract, you must be loyal to the leader in these five years. If you make a mistake or try to escape or launch *, you can be hanged or cut off your head at any time, and you may also be punished, but you must not I am willing to try those punishments, because it will be 10,000 times more uncomfortable than being hanged or beheaded!

Your Excellency can guarantee that as long as you serve him seriously for five years, you can return your freedom, and according to your service, I will give you a large reward. In short, it will be more generous than what you get when you work for your king or some businessmen. A lot!"

After the translation was finished, there was a buzzing sound among these bare Spanish prisoners. Some people didn't hear or understand clearly, so they quickly asked the people around them what the translation just said.

When everyone understood what was translated, these Spanish prisoners immediately became excited. Five years is not too long for them, because now they are prisoners. These pirates can kill them at any time or even enslave them for a lifetime. Compared with life or a lifetime, it is really not too long.

And this translation makes it clear that as long as they sign a contract, they can improve their lives, put on clothes, and regain their dignity (of course, the minimum human dignity). What makes them happier is that they may also get paid instead of working for the Chinese pirate for five years.

Although the three silver coins are not too many, they are not too few. In the past, whether they were sailors or soldiers, they may not get many silver coins every month. Now if they sign a contract, they will not only have their lives, but also get a minimum of dignity and can eat. Son, you can even get paid, which is an unimaginable preferential treatment.

If they don't seize this opportunity at this time, then follow the translation and go to the quarry to work to death!

Now no one wants to go to the quarry and stay any longer. In their opinion, it is even worse than hell. Now even if they don't pay, as long as they are fed and dressed, they are willing to do anything for this pirate leader. Even if they sell their buttocks to these pirates, I guess there are people. Willing to do.

So these people quickly answered and asked for a contract immediately. They were willing to serve this great leader for the next five years.

(Today, I would like to thank the boring god and the wandering Jiangnan brothers for not hesitate to give rewards! Let the reward be more fierce! Haha!)
