Reborn As a Pirate

Tavistock, England, April 20, 1793.

The chapel dedicated to Drake Manor was full of voices.

On the lawn in front of the chapel, seven-colored tulle set up a garden shed, and a dazzling array of English or French meals are placed under the shed. The breeze moved the gauze curtains, spreading the aroma of food in the air.

The bells in the chapel rang, and the cheerful bells jingle, and three beauties in colorful skirts walked into the middle rostrum under the lead of their female companions.

Henna is pure white, Carmen is bright red, and Noah is bright yellow. They stood side by side in front of Lorraine, shy and timid.

The children ran and laughed and sprinkled colorful petals for the podium. The girls stretched out their hands, showing beautiful brown painted nails, and smiled and took the bouquets that symbolized happiness.

The most embarrassing thing in the whole scene was probably the imam who was invited by Lorraine from Egypt to preside over the wedding at a high price.

He stood under the bell tower of the chapel, wearing a white round hat, put down the "Quran" that never left his hand, and held the Egyptian Anka of pure gold that represents longevity and blessings.

He felt that he had betrayed his faith, but 2,000 pounds was enough for him to build a brand new gilded halal tower in the countryside of Cairo.

So who knows?

Perhaps only truly devout believers would be willing to host this unhalal halal wedding for Viking barbarians, Catholic devils, Roma, and long-overdue Assassin.

With sincere gratitude to the Lord, he lifted up the heavy and magnificent Anka staff.

"May the holy flame burn...Bless our newcomers!!!"

The bell sounded more cheerfully.

The guests in the audience raised their wine glasses and shouted in unison: "Amen!"

...

In general, Arabic weddings are very similar to Chinese weddings, lively, cheerful, wealthy, and full of festive atmosphere.

The only annoying thing is that the bridegroom must be alone in the vacant room until early in the morning, which is completely different from the Chinese style. In that Eastern Continent, it was always women, not men, who kept the vacant room alone.

Lorraine and his most distinguished guest complained about this, and his guest, the Holy See of the Anglican Church, the leader of the Puritans, and the only saint Archbishop St. Simvery Berwick, were full of dilemmas. flat.

"Little Lorraine." Archbishop Berwick interrupted Lorraine's chattering, "Are you deliberate? Let the *** imam take the ancient Egyptian sacrificial scepter to preside over you, a pagan, in front of the main chapel. For an Arab wedding, are all the followers of the Lord invited?"

Lorraine stopped and sneered little by little at the corner of his mouth: "Old guy, you know why I did this. You postponed my wedding for five full years. This is my gift to you."

"In my opinion this is childish."

"No, this is an oath. I'm telling the idiots of the upper council that there is me behind Baron Les Charlotte Drake. He is not the weakest team leader in Drake's history, but the strongest one. one."

Archbishop Berwick was speechless.

Five years ago, Lorraine returned to Tavistock in a dignified manner, bringing the widow and orphans Ann and Les to the parliament to propose the succession of the Baron Tavistock.

There is no doubt about this. The only doubt is that the Upper Parliament believes that Rice’s uncles in Liverpool are more suitable to be the guardians of the new Baron, and hope that they will preside over the family affairs of the Baron Tavistock’s family before the age of 18. .

Lorraine didn't say anything at the time, and left London the same day with Ann and Rice, and appeared at the Pansy Manor in Miami a month later.

This extremely insulting move to the House of Lords aroused dissatisfaction among the entire English aristocratic circle. Some people clamored to ban all the industries of the Drake Chamber of Commerce in the British territory, and to drive the ignorant Viking barbarians out of the British business circle.

This proposal was strongly opposed by the powerful Royal Navy.

The matter of Les inheriting the title was put on hold. Lorraine held simple and solemn weddings with Hina, Carmen, and Noah in Miami. There was no gift from the Lord, only the blessing of relatives and friends and comrades-in-arms.

Then on July 14, 1789, a revolution broke out in Paris, the revolutionary army captured the Bastille, Paris fell, and the world situation changed drastically.

European aristocrats watched with fear and trepidation as the revolutionary wildfires burned through the land of France. The Constituent Assembly passed the "Declaration of Human Rights" proclaiming that "people are born and are always free and equal."

The emperor of Bourbon failed to plan to use mercenaries to overthrow the Constituent Assembly. The Constituent Assembly abolished the prince, hereditary aristocracy, and the titles of knighthood, and re-division of the political districts. Establish the Dali Yuan, the Supreme Court, and establish a jury system.

The Constituent Assembly also confiscated the church’s property and declared that the French church had separated from the Pope’s rule and returned to state management, realizing the separation of church and state.

In this process, while the world's top chaebols were busy drawing a line with the French revolutionaries, the Drake Chamber of Commerce and the revolutionaries got along like glue.

Everyone knows that Lorraine is putting pressure on England, and even the Royal Navy sent commissioners to Miami to warn Lorraine of "trades that are unknown to him in the Chamber of Commerce."

However, Lorraine was unmoved.

On September 29, 1790, the Maritime Group, a subsidiary of the Drake Chamber of Commerce, announced their new ship, the first-generation "Popular Class" flying shear merchant ship, at the Haite Shipyard in Boston.

The standard length of this kind of ship is 55 meters, the standard speed is 22 knots, and it is only equipped with two six-pounder short guns for driving away sea beasts.

On October 7, the Fengxing-class No. 1 Ship Revolutionary Long Live sailed from Boston and arrived at the Naval Port of Cherbourg, France in 19 days, and was officially delivered to the French Revolutionary Chamber of Commerce Bouyre Chamber of Commerce.

On October 27th, the Drake Maritime Research Center announced the successful test of marine dual-entry steam generators. For the first time, the research results of the Intrepid Project were disclosed to the world in public.

Two months later, George III’s special envoy arrived at the Miami Pansy Manor and invited Lorraine and Ann to Windsor Castle for a reunion.

The problem of Lorraine's guardianship of Baron Tavistock's house thus opened the gap.

In March 1791, Valkyrie drove to Southampton, carrying Lorraine, Ann, Les, Henna, and pregnant Carmen and Noah into the newly completed Drake Bay Building.

The two sides started a long and difficult negotiation.

This negotiation made Lorraine desperate because the representatives of the House of Lords acted arrogantly and stupidly in the negotiation, and put forward a series of requirements, including Lorraine must be religious, must be publicly married to Carmen, and some people want Carmen to fight secretly. The child who fell in the belly, because before the Lord, the bride must be holy.

The wise earl was hung on the lightning rod of the Bay Mansion by Lorraine, and it was hung for 36 hours. It was Archbishop Berwick himself that rescued the hapless man from the lightning rod.

Just as the negotiations were about to break down, on May 13, Carmen's child was born, which brought a different turn for the whole thing.

Princess Charlotte sent her maid to send the name of the child, Antalan Sinwari Zedrek.

The child's surname is Zederek, not Drake, nor is it the usual lowly surname of illegitimate children in England that has nothing to do with their own surname.

Lorraine was silent for 7 days. After 7 days, on May 20, 1791, Archbishop Berwick baptized Antalan Sinwori Zedrek at Westminster Abbey and declared that he was a child. godfather.

...

Lorraine and Archbishop Berwick were chatting about the past, and Carmen, who was smiling happily, took Xiao Antaran over.

Antaran is three years old, and her round face is full of heroism. He broke away from his mother's hand, flew onto Archbishop Berwick's red clothes, wiped his saliva, and called to the godfather with a sweet voice.

Archbishop Berwick's face bloomed with a smile, and he embraced Antaran fondly and put it on his lap.

"This child is the hero who eases the conflict between you and the House of Lords, but among your three children, I have never seen you treat him preferentially." The archbishop cocked his beard and complained for his godson.

"Drake’s children are growing up in spoiling." Lorraine uttered angrily. "Jedrek, Zedrek, and Sadrek, their brothers and sisters have three surnames, Charlotte Princess Te hopes that I promise that my offspring will not occupy the magpie's nest. I promised her that this is the root cause of the conflict between me and the House of Lords."

"I'm glad you made a wise choice."

"I owe Shaq." Lorraine said calmly. "Similarly, the idiots in the House of Lords owe me."

It is another topic that cannot be continued.

Archbishop Berwick stroked Antaran's little head: "Your Majesty wants me to ask, how is your fearless plan going?"

"The test ship is under design. It is a 20-meter-class scientific research ship. The ship is made of iron, using riveting and steel keel. At the same time, it abandons wind power and fully adopts steam power."

"Master Karen Scott is in charge of this matter in Miami. According to his most optimistic estimate, the ship will be built and launched between 1795 and 1797."

"Why is it a scientific research ship?" Archbishop Berwick was puzzled.

"Because a guy who is exploring the Congo rainforest wants it, and the steam battleship needs to be equipped with a brand-new firepower system. This is still in the second level of demonstration. It will be several years before the theory is formed. The design of the test ship can't wait."

"You are experts in this matter." Berwick said, "Your Majesty said that the Royal Navy must get the world's first dreadnought ship, and it must not be sold to France or Spain."

"Where is the United States?"

"Not even those phony hillbillies!" Berwick did not hesitate, "Lorraine, I heard that you are going to sail again tomorrow? The day after the wedding?"

"It's actually tonight." Lorraine sighed helplessly. "The French executed the emperor of Bourbon and pushed our relationship with them to the forefront."

"Great Britain is organizing a large-scale military escort, preparing for General Richard Howe to lead the entire Channel Fleet to **** more than one hundred merchant ships to the New World."

"Among those ships are 17 of the Drake Chamber of Commerce, and my friend Major General Collingwood will also participate in this escort. He invited me to join him on this sea trip."

"It's actually the militant General Richard Howe..." Archbishop Berwick muttered, "Is the Royal Navy ready to go to war with France?"

"Who knows?" Lorraine sneered, "Following the instructions of the great majesty, in order to give my nephew the correct patriotic education, my guardian has completely stopped trading with the French Revolutionaries, Drake Chamber of Commerce The loss was more than 300,000 pounds."

"Those desperate revolutionaries also confiscated Acharin's manor in Bordeaux~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and forced Acharin to show his loyalty to the royalists, in exchange for a pre-determined title of Earl of Desai."

"The Drake Chamber of Commerce has long wanted to reopen the trade route. Pierce and the Secret Service team arrived at Speedhead ahead of schedule. When I arrive, the direct first formation will set sail from Southampton and join this large-scale escort. ."

"The war is about to start..." Berwick murmured worriedly.

"But we must be victorious."

Lorraine smiled twice and stood up and took his child from Berwick's arms:

He held the child and looked in the direction of South France, the light in his eyes shining so hard that he could not look directly.

"The magnificent battlefield is always a place for business opportunities. As long as the revolutionary party across the sea is dead, Drake will become the most powerful business empire in the world."

"This time, no one can stop it!"
