Haitian looked at the pirate in front of him, with a black beard on his face, and couldn't help but nod!

"What if you're a descendant of the great pirate Blackbeard Teach? It's not the Age of Discovery, are you still dreaming of being the king of pirates? Or maybe it's in search of those so-called treasures! And what you're doing now, I don't think it's any different from ordinary pirates? Haitian asked.

"Mr. Asura! You can kill me! But please don't laugh at my dreams! I hope to be able to form a powerful pirate fleet of my own like Titch's ancestors and gallop on the seas! The reason why we burn and loot is because we need a lot of money to realize our dreams, although we have also killed a lot of innocent people, but we have no choice, we need to survive, only by surviving can we continue to pursue our goals! ”

The righteousness that Edward Newgate said was awe-inspiring, Haitian could see that there was no contrived element in his eyes!

"I heard that your ancestor was a notorious pirate?" Haitian put down the demon knife in his hand, found a place to sit down, and said to Edward Newgate.

"Mr. Asura! You're right! But in those days, the law of the jungle was the strongest, and my ancestor Edward Teachy did a lot of cruel things, and he paid the price for his cruelty! But as his descendant, I still yearn for this feeling of being free to ride on the sea! Edward Newgate looked at the sea and said with some excitement.

"Tell me about the great pirate Blackbeard, Edward Teach! I'm interested in your dreams right now! Haitian saw that there was still a bottle of wine in the place where he was sitting, picked it up and took a sip, and said to Edward Newgate.

Edward Newgate also did it, and motioned to his subordinates to stand down and start talking to Haitian!

Born in Bristol, England, nicknamed Blackbeard, Edward Tich was one of the most notorious pirates in the history of world navigation.

In its heyday, Blackbeard had a pirate fleet of four sailing ships, of which Queen Anne's Revenge was his flagship.

Edward Teach had deep, wild eyes and a thick, distinctive beard. The beard is very long, and sometimes you have to tie it with a strap into a lot of pigtails that run around in all directions.

He has one eye, one leg replaced by a piece of wood, and wears deerskin boots all year round. He was full of energy and had an excellent appetite, and he was full of alcohol, and he exuded the strange smell of pungent sweat and gunpowder, and the smell was so great that everyone who wanted to talk to him involuntarily took a step back. He always wore a strap over his broad shoulders, which was fastened with a full cartridge clip and three pistols in a holster.

What's more, when he is in a good mood, he always has a leisurely parrot on his shoulder. The most striking feature was that before each plunder, two lit fuses were inserted under his d'Artagnan-like hat, and black smoke curled over his ears on either side, making everyone look at him as if they were facing a powder keg ready to explode.

England in the sixteenth century was in turmoil and at war with Spain, its maritime rival for many years. As a result, the British government acquiesced in allowing some armed civilian ships to attack and loot at sea. The young Blackbeard became a sailor on an armed civilian ship, targeting Spanish merchant ships.

As the "Anglo-Spanish Naval Battle" came to an end, Spain was defeated. Under the Treaty of Utrecht, not only did the Strait of Gibraltar be ceded to Britain, but Britain was also given access to the Treaty of Utrecht. The monopoly of the slave sale, the British Empire became a veritable maritime hegemon.

And with the triangular trade - to sell. International trade centered on the sale of slaves began to rise. At that time, a large number of British merchants from Liverpool, Bristol, London and other places shipped glass, ceramic vessels, various ornaments, gin, guns and ammunition, copper and tin utensils to Africa to exchange black slaves, and then transported the black slaves to the plantations of the West Indies and South American colonies, sold to the plantation owners, and then bought the sugar and tobacco from the colonies and returned to Britain.

The "triangular trade" brought a steady stream of money to Britain, and many people became very wealthy in a short period of time. In such a trading atmosphere, the original armed civilian ships can be said to be like fish in water, and many sailors have become professional pirates. Later, they developed to not only rob. Raiding the merchant ships of other countries, even Britain's own ships, did not spare them.

As a result, the entire Caribbean Sea became a hunting ground for pirates, and when the queen ordered armed civilian ships to stop attacking merchant ships, she discovered what it meant to play with fire and set themselves on fire. It was under this wave of history that Edward Teach, Blackbeard, began his thrilling career as a pirate.

The year 1716 was a turning point in Blackbeard's career, Edward Teach, who began to work as a pirate with the famous Captain Hornigold, who was later appointed commander of a plundered ship.

Blackbeard faithfully followed Captain Hornigold for two years. Later, in the Caribbean, Captain Hornigold successfully looted a ship from Africa to the Americas. A large merchant ship that sold slaves and transported jewelry, it was a very luxurious three-masted galleon built in the Netherlands and equipped with thirty-six guns. At that time, the ship was loaded with gold, silver, and precious stones, in addition to a large number of slaves, and when Captain Hornigold got his hands on the ship, he gave it to Edward Tich as a reward.

Blackbeard was extremely excited to take over this large merchant ship with extremely strong combat effectiveness, renamed it the "Queen of Vengeance", and started anew. Blackbeard was unknown when he first started out on his own, but he made a name for himself on his first voyage.

It turned out that the pirates at that time were in the name of serving Her Majesty, so they always tried every means to avoid the Royal Navy of the British Empire. Even if they met on a narrow road, they tried to avoid fighting, and they would not engage the British navy unless they were in a desperate situation. But Blackbeard doesn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he is a natural outlaw, and in the eyes of others, it seems to be a catastrophe that the sky has fallen, but in his eyes it happens to be the most exciting challenge. So as soon as he went to sea, he went straight to the British coastal defense on the east coast, and in the harbor of the military port, blatantly robbed . Hijacked the British merchant ship "Ellen".

At that time, the British Navy warships anchored in the harbor were shocked when they saw that they were British pirates attacking the British warships in the blue sky and daylight, and quickly left the port to intercept them. The British battleship opened fire first, and Blackbeard Edward Teach, who steered the "Vengeful Queen" to avoid the shelling, saw the opportunity to go full speed and crashed into the British battleship.

This suicidal outlaw practice simply frightened the British Royal Navy, because they had never seen such a way of fighting, and they were at a loss for a while. The pirates under Blackbeard Edward Teach took the opportunity to shoot wildly at the deck, and the British officers and men suffered heavy casualties and fled in terror. Edward Teach, the Blackbeard, became famous all over the world, and ships across the Atlantic coast fled when they heard the name.

Just as people were panicked by the name Blackbeard, he suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving his pursuers in vain by the British navy.

Two years later, when the story was forgotten, he crept up again. From then on, almost all the ships on the route between Virginia in the north and Honduras in the south were in his rush. Within the scope of the robbery, many merchant ships became his pockets. After eighteen months of crazy grabbing. robbery, Blackbeard's loot piled up. In some port cities in North Carolina, he disposed of a lot of looted goods at a low price.

Later, Blackbeard Edward Teachy succeeded in one of the most daring raids of his entire pirate career: he led four pirate ships to blockade Charleston, the capital of South Carolina, ransacking the harbor and setting it on fire. In an instant, all the ships were in flames.

In this robbery. During the robbery, he kidnapped a number of hostages and members of the municipal council, threatened to cut off the heads of these hostages, and demanded a huge ransom from the city government in exchange for the freedom of the hostages. Under Blackbeard's brutal coercion, the city government had to comply with his demands. When Blackbeard's pirate fleet left the port of Charleston, it not only obtained a large amount of items such as cotton and tobacco, but also extorted a ransom of 1.5 million pounds.

Listening to Edward Newgate tell him about the deeds of the great pirate Blackbeard Edward Teach, Haitian couldn't help but admire this person a little, but remembered some legends about being bad to him, and couldn't help but interrupt Edward Newgate and asked: "If it's just these, Blackbeard Edward Teachy can also be regarded as a character!" But I've heard that he is not only brutal, but also wants to harm his own men? If that's the case, then my opinion of him will change! ”

"Mr. Asura! You're right! It was precisely because of the cruelty and lack of morality of his ancestors that he eventually led to his demise! So as his descendant, I don't want to repeat his mistakes, so from my first day as a pirate, I told myself that I must not betray my companions, but in order to survive, we did a lot of hurtful things! That's why we came here in Southeast Asia, because it's hard for us to survive elsewhere! Edward Newgate couldn't help but say with some regret.

"What happened back then?" Haitian drank all the wine in the bottle in one gulp and asked......
