Zhang Heng changed the British saber from the injured right hand to the left hand, blocking the opponent’s 2 consecutive splits, and at the same time also backed back 2 steps under the reaction force. The sailor on the opposite side saw that someone was weak after a long battle. Can’t help being overjoyed, no more temptation, directly cut into Zhang Heng’s chest, this blade does not have any bells and whistles, purely relying on the strength advantage, but this time Zhang Heng unexpectedly did not retreat, but greeted instead .

2 When the knives intersect, the sailor on the navy supply ship feels a huge force coming from the tiger’s mouth. His arm is swayed by this force, and his face also shows horror. The British army knife in the next moment Zhang Heng’s hand is already On his neck, opened the mouth and said, “It’s over.”

A gloomy look appeared in the sailor’s eyes, and eventually he could only throw away his weapon and surrender.

Zhang Heng looked around all around, and the battle on the deck was coming to an end. The guards who were still putting up a desperate struggle were basically forced into the corner. The defeat was a matter of time. Only the captain still occupied the captain ’s room. But it is only a matter of time before it is eliminated.

This is the third tough battle they have experienced in just two months. Although they still won the victory, the wear and tear is also very serious. Owen has already begun to add manpower from the prisoners.

The treatment of regular naval sailors in this era is very miserable. Taking the British Imperial Family Navy as an example, a month ’s salary is only about 1 pound, equivalent to half of the river gate guards, 1/4 of the carpenter, and the money is not yet When Faquan got it, he would be deducted a part by the controller and the officer on the ship. Apart from this, the days of salary are also uncertain, and almost no monthly payment. The most bizarre is a cruiser in the Far East waters, even 22 The account was only cleared once a year, and the money was finally rejected by the Admiralty.

These sailors had a hard time after going ashore. When the warship returned to its home port for repairs, the officers could only get half a salary. The bottom sailors simply stopped paying and were left to their own lives, but this is not the worst, sometimes in order to fear people. Running away, the Admiralty simply prevented the sailors from going ashore, and transferred them directly to other battleships before entering the port. The salary continued to be white.

In contrast, the treatment enjoyed by the pirates is simply heaven. Everyone who has money earns together and eats meat together. It is rare for the captain to withdraw the crew.

It ’s been almost 9 months since Zhang Heng came to this copy. He was forced to join the Sea Lion in order to survive. Later, because of the main mission, he had to step into the world of pirates. But now to Nassau and the group of pirates living above it is With more understanding, a lot of things have to be combined with the historical background at the time. In the 17th and 18th centuries, pirates were rampant for no reason.

At the beginning of the era of great navigation, it was difficult to distinguish the difference between explorers, colonists and pirates, and as European countries fell into a scuffle, in order to fight for sea power, the infamous private looting license was completely opened. In view of Pandora’s box, these things may seem incredible from a modern perspective.

Suppose you are a businessman in this era, transporting a ship of goods to the colony and selling it, and being robbed by people from other countries halfway. You cannot get back through legal diplomatic means. The general practice of various countries is to give you a private Retrieving a permit encourages you to take back your losses from others.

apart from this, there are many wealthy businessmen and nobles who will also sponsor some potential captains, help them get a private looting permit, let them go to the sea to plunder, and then come back to share the stolen goods, the benefits of doing so It can do its utmost to attack the maritime forces of other countries. At the same time, it can also have an additional navy without an increase in its own budget. Once the battle is started, these private looting ships will also join the battle.

If you grab enough to be received by the Imperial Family, and even be knighted, become a national hero, Henry Morgan is the best example. He was the Pirate King of the Caribbean from 1665 to 1670, and later succeeded. Became the governor of Jamaica.

In fact, it ’s not just folks. In order to earn extra money, the Imperial Family Fleet, who ca n’t appease the money, will also go out for looting. The port also has a broker who is specifically responsible for realizing the spoils of war. Of course, most of this money is still Flowed into the pocket of the officer, the bottom sailor can get very little,

Fraser once said to Zhang Heng at the tavern, “Do you know what is the difference between us and those guys? That is that they have private predatory evidence in their hands, and we don’t have it, so we became hated pirates, And they are heroes, and this is the law of this World. “

…………

Zhang Heng put away his saber, and with the blasting sound under his feet, the last place on the ship was also broken. The captain of the naval supply ship died, and the remaining sailors also handed over their weapons and surrendered. The boat doctor was busy rescuing the wounded, while the bookkeeper was counting the cargo in the cabin.

There are also a lot of casualties on the pirate side, which is why no one wants to fight against the Navy. Even if it is just a supply ship, the firepower on the ship is considerable. Compared with the price paid, what can be obtained by robbing a naval supply ship The benefits are often pitiful.

After a fierce battle, the Sea Lions killed 7 people and still had a lot of wounded people, but the morale was miraculously not frustrated, especially when the helmsman Orff appeared in front of everyone with a small bloody Treasure Concealing Map The expressions of the pirates became more and more excited.

“There is no doubt that we are one step closer to the ultimate goal, gentlemen!” The helmsman encouraged.

According to Orff ’s view, Kidd ’s financial report was hidden on an uninhabited island in the Caribbean. He drew a Treasure Concealing Map before he died, but this Treasure Concealing Map was finally divided into 6 parts. In the hands of those who participated in the arrest and trial, now the Sea Lion is looking for the whereabouts of these Treasure Concealing Maps. Counting the current one, they have already got 4 of them, which can indeed be called a victory.

But then Irving came to the helmsman, “Mr. Orff, can I take a step to speak?”

The latter was nodded. Two people came to the stern, and the long face of the sailor was worried, “I don’t know if you noticed that we have lost a lot of people recently.”

Orf nodded, “So how is the recruitment going?”

“You know we can’t use these guys to fill all the vacancies, right, they are navy after all, if there are too many people recruited at one time, we have to think about whether we will be cut by people when we sleep. . “

“Then what advice do you have?”

“It’s been two and a half months since we came out, and I suggest that I can go back to Nassau for some resupply.” Owen said.

Orff looked at the sailor ’s long eyes and said after a while, “I do n’t want to hide from you. Once we find the treasure, it will cause some unnecessary troubles, but I will give your suggestions to the captain.”
