“Ah ?! Then, that is where your ship is parked ?!” Annie’s surprised chin is about to fall to the ground. “Did you really find the Kidd Treasure? But this is also wrong, even if it is again You should n’t be able to buy naval warships with money. “

“This story is a long story. I will tell you slowly when I have time. Now, let me talk about the results of letting you recruit gunners.”

…………

Although the space on the Jackdaw is not small, Zhang Heng did n’t plan to recruit too many people for the first time. Including Anne, he now only has a core team of 8 people. Zhang Heng plans to recruit on the beach. Fifteen people, including technicians such as cooks and carpenters, and then 5 to 7 people recommended by Anne, mainly gunners, so that the structure of the personnel on board is relatively stable.

After several trips to the sea, the run-in time is almost complete, and then the manpower will be added one after another. Although the team formation time is relatively slow, the advantage is that there is no need to worry about being directly mixed in by other small groups. Zhang Heng now lacks time.

Zhang Heng had already greeted Billy with her as the sailor chief. The female pirate is still relatively rare in the 18th century. Everyone is generally concerned about this, but Zhang Heng is very serious about this matter. adhere to.

Because it is the first command of the new captain, it is not easy for everyone to directly refuse or ask for a vote.

So Billy and the others discussed it and finally accepted the appointment, but there is an additional condition that needs to be tested for Anne ’s battle strength.

This reason is very reasonable. After all, in addition to organizing the sailors to carry out various tasks on the ship, the sailor commander should lead by example in battle. People here can still have morale.

Zhang Heng has no objection to this requirement. He can designate Annie as the sailor of the Jackdaw, but he wants to convince everyone on the ship but can only rely on the latter ’s own efforts. Fortunately, for Anne, Zhang Heng is worried about everything. Du did not worry about the latter’s ability to fight.

Looking at the two opponents who were higher than her in front, the red-haired girl’s eyes not only did not have any fear, but ignited a sense of excitement.

Seeing the lively pirates around, he has actively given way to an empty space. As referee Billy told Anne, “This competition is of a learning nature. In principle, no heavy hands are allowed, and you can admit defeat at any time, so you do n’t have to worry. Next You can choose an opponent among them, as long as you can defeat any of them, we will accept you as a companion … “

As a result, he was interrupted by the female child before he had finished speaking. Anne pulled out the saber inserted in the sand in front of her and waved a few times to try out the feel. Then she grinned and revealed 2 lines of white teeth. Go ahead, otherwise it would be meaningless to end too soon. “

All the pirates heard this arrogant declaration suddenly in an uproar.

Zhang Heng didn’t go to see the battle that already knew the result in advance, he had more important things to do.

After becoming a captain, the most intuitive feeling is that there are more things to do. Previously, at Sea Lion, he basically focused on learning, and read more and say less, in order not to arouse Orff ’s vigilance. Zhang Heng was becoming a sailing captain. He was barely involved in any affairs on board before, so he only had to arrange his own time every day, and now he needs to be responsible for a whole ship, and there must be more to consider.

Zhang Heng first found Dufferina and asked the latter to purchase a batch of green lemons before going to sea.

The dangers of the great voyage era come from all sides, and scurvy is definitely an item that cannot be ignored.

Due to the technical conditions at that time, most vegetables and fruits could not be preserved on board for a long time. Whether it was a navy or a pirate, most of the food was mainly biscuits and dried meat, supplemented by a portion of seafood. There was no problem in the short term, but once grown Time is not close to the land will cause a series of troubles due to lack of Vitamin.

If it is weak, the body is weak, the teeth are loose, the skeleton is painful, and it may even cause death. When Columbus explored the New World, most of the crew died of scurvy. Two-thirds of the crew of Magellan ’s travel around the world died of scurvy. disease.

People in later generations basically knew that this was caused by the lack of Vitamin, especially Vitamin C, but in the era of Zhang Heng now, most people have no effective response except prayer.

Zhang Heng had seen some people with scurvy on the Sea Lion before, and his expression was weak, and he could only exert 50-60% of his strength in battle, which also reminded him of his turn. The first thing he did when he took the boat out to sea was to reserve green lemons.

The latter is easy to store. It can guarantee that it will not spoil for about a month at room temperature. It is one of the most Vitamin C fruits. Apart from this Zhang Heng also found a newly recruited chef to let him roast a batch Dried vegetables and fruits, so that you can basically prevent the risk of scurvy.

The only regret is that soybeans are introduced to Europe from China decades later. This is the easiest source of fresh vegetables available on board. The growth of bean sprouts does not require soil, and it can grow madly with just a little water. It is rich in protein and vitamins. Zhang Heng Several businessmen on the island related to the East India Company have been entrusted to collect it for him, but it will take as soon as a year.

Solved the food problem, Zhang Heng went to the black market merchants on the island again, mainly to discuss the issue of sales and sales of spoils of war. Generally speaking, the larger pirate gangs on the island had fixed black market merchants as partners, and the two parties established Mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation.

The pirates will directly pull the grabbed spoils of war to familiar black merchants, and the latter will also provide a richer price than the market. Zhang Heng originally thought that he had the Jackdaw and should be favored by many black market businessmen, but the actual situation of the meeting and his imagination were quite different.

He visited several large black merchants on the island. Although the other party was very polite to him, it seemed more of a courtesy, and the price given was not a discount. According to fellow Dyfrey According to Na, the condition is only a little better than that of the average newcomer who went to sea for the first time, which is completely incomparable with the original Sea Lion.

The other party ’s answers are basically the same. They are all aware of the excellent hardware conditions of the Jackdaw. However, they are worried about Zhang Heng ’s excessively young captain. Some people have heard of what happened on the beach before and think he hired women to serve. Sailor chief’s approach is immature and lack of consideration, and this just confirms their previous concerns.

Therefore, they generally hope that Zhang Heng and his Jackdaw will prove their ability to gain a foothold in this Sea Territory after several successful hunts, and then come back to discuss the problem.

After going out, Dufreina frowned, “It’s a bit wrong. In the past, when these potential pirate groups appeared on the island, these guys were very enthusiastic. It seems that the rumor may be true.”

“What rumors?”

“Because of the huge benefits brought by the sale of stolen goods, there are many large and small black merchants on the island, and the competition between them is also very fierce. Sometimes they even tear their faces, in order to win their own pirate ship with other merchants. Here, some people will secretly contribute funds to subsidize the ambitions on board, inciting them to rebel and seize power. If those guys succeed, they will choose their sponsors as new partners in return. But recently I heard that the island ’s Black market businessmen are negotiating to end this chaotic situation, and they intend to form an alliance. “
