Those North African pirates didn't let Murong Parrot '' too much, Old Travo brought over a multinational army, and the army of the Han Dynasty did not have the habit of having others convert to Confucius or Taishang Laojun, under the 'temptation' and 'bewilderment' of bayonets and gold coins, these stupid birds were easily co-opted. As North African pirates and Muslims, they had heard of the legend of the huge fleet for more than 200 years, but they did not react very much to the fact that they were contained in the face of the expeditionary fleet, which also came from the Far East.

It's just that this time has suffered Old Traver, Kidd and William. Murong Parrot naturally knew the result of the layman's command of the insider, so he didn't 'interfere' much in the reorganization of the pirates, so this task was essentially the responsibility of the three highest-ranking foreigners in the expeditionary fleet, just two hours after Kidd and William were rescued, at the strong request of the "three loyal men", a unique swearing-in ceremony was held on the flagship of the Return, and several glorious pirates became official officers of the Han Empire, although they were only small ensigns, But it satisfies their vanity. Seventeenth-century China, in the eyes of these white men who had not yet reached the East, represented mystery, silver, gold, and power.

In the course of the reorganization, the strengths of each of the three were fully expressed, and Old Travers, though only a man of average sailing talent, was superior in his experience, and was much better in observation than the other two young men who were about the same age as his children. And Kidd, the captain who can lead a merchant ship across the Atlantic alone at the age of twenty, is indeed not comparable to ordinary people in terms of talent, especially in terms of command, even Old Travers admits that he is too much higher than himself, the only regret is that this young captain seems to be a little weaker in terms of specific control, which may have something to do with being a captain at his age, and the sailors affirmed his command ability, but inevitably despised his age, Kidd did not reverse this deviation in time, which caused a special "democratic" atmosphere on the Adventure. Fortunately, he now has Old Travers by his side, and he is trying to correct this shortcoming.

William, on the other hand, surprised everyone, to be honest, his career was not very successful as it stands, and most people who had heard of his experience would have thought that he was a weaker man, otherwise his previous ship would not have changed ship or anything like that, and on the pirate ship, he could have challenged the captain's authority and 'forced' the captain to give way, so that he would not have to face the storm. But in the process of reorganization, one sees a completely different William, who not only knows the rules and affairs of pirates well, but also quotes many of the regulations of the British fleet in the training of pirates, and most importantly, he is much more controllable than Kidd, and he is decisive in dealing with problems.

Under the questioning of Old Traver and Kidd, William revealed some of his own background, he was born into a family of seafarers, and his grandparents were captains in the Royal Navy. Dampier also swore allegiance to His Majesty the King of England. However, he was obviously not too interested in the rules and regulations of the army, so he chose to become a pirate, and as for why he did not take command of the hapless pirate ship, according to William himself, it was because he did not want to give up any chance to save his companions. Of course, whether this is the real reason or not, only he knows.

After knowing the specific situation of William, Murong Parrot made a decision, and William and Danbier were also appointed captains to lead the two captured pirate ships.

The entire fleet remained in one of the captured pirates' stronghold for more than ten days, and only after confirming that the entire fleet had been reorganized did it continue the voyage.

By this time the expeditionary fleet had expanded to twelve ships, and in order to ensure the success of the operation, several leaders of the fleet, specifically the current European leaders, gathered together for a meeting.

"Gentlemen!" Murong Parrot's deep voice sounded in the captain's room of the Return, after so many days of getting along with Europeans, his speech also had a bit of a European flavor, of course, the language was still in the Latin he was most familiar with: "I know everyone is very suspicious, we have iron-blooded warriors, a 'fine' fleet, but we have been going north." Here today, I tell you the goal of this time, which is the pearl of Spain, Seville! ”

As soon as these words came out, Kidd and William opened their mouths wide and couldn't speak, that is Seville, the Seville where Magellan set sail, Seville, the end point of Spain's golden route in the Atlantic, Seville, the distribution center of the entire Spanish wealth, even after the destruction of the Spanish Armada, Britain did not dare to have any idea of Seville.

Along the way, Old Travert had vaguely guessed the destination of this operation, but when the name of the place came out of Murong Parrot's mouth, he was still shocked. Seville, that is the seafaring lifeblood of all of Spain. After the two have been partnered for so long, he also has a considerable understanding of Murong Yu's personality, and once a professional officer like him makes a decision, he may not bother with this later, to put it bluntly, he still has to play on his own.

"Don't be too surprised, gentlemen, you've seen our warriors these days. I don't know what you guys think, at least in the eyes of my Old Travers, those armies of the European continent are absolutely a bunch of shit in front of them! ”

Old Traver's words did not arouse Kidd and William's disgust, the British navy was strong, which was something that the whole continent of Europa knew, but in comparison, their army was not so very satisfactory, and the strength of the officers and men of the expeditionary force was what they had witnessed, and after so many days, they and Old Traver were heroes in this regard.

Seeing that the two of them did not object, Old Travers continued, "Since there is such a strong Marine Corps as the backing, do the two of them have anything to fear? Do you think that the Spaniards, who are so cowardly that the Moors are dangling right under their noses, but cannot be exterminated, will be better than our warriors? ”

Saying this, Old Tefer's high tone suddenly lowered: "Besides, we are still on a revenge trip this time - I think everyone knows all the stupid things that the Spanish did in the New World. Unfortunately, this kind of thing was done again by the ugly Spaniards in the East Indies. The victim this time is our homeland of General Murong, and it is also the motherland of our fleet, the expatriates of the powerful empire in the Far East. Those lowly Spanish pigs were jealous of the industriousness and wealth of the imperial expatriate, and suspicious of their strength, so they created a massacre of more than 20,000 people! ”

"More than 20,000 people! My God, I don't see any trace of barbarism in General Murong and his men, and those stupid Spaniards don't think of them as heretics and natives! "William. Dampier first exclaimed, although he was a pirate, he was still a scholar at heart, and his humanistic ideas were still stronger than Kidd's, and he also paid more attention to the "knightly 'spirit'".

Old Trafoll replied bitterly, "Do you think that a people with a heritage of 5,000 years, a history longer than the Roman Empire combined, and whose kings controlled more than all the nations of Europe combined, would be indigenous and pagan?" Those filthy Spanish pigs have taken exactly what they have done in South America and moved them to the East Indies to repeat them once, and God will not forgive them for this crime, and it is a pity that our Majesty in the Far East is in some trouble, and now there are not many men to show his wrath at these hateful Spaniards. So he sent General Murong and his army, as the 'elite' selected from the millions of troops, who had the ability to complete the task under any conditions. I think you've all seen that. ”

William and Kidd were not very new to the slave trade and the hunting of Indians, but they were done when the other party was a barbarian and a heretic, at least this excuse is barely plausible in modern times, but the things that the Spaniards did in the East Indies were obviously a bit excessive, completely like butchers, especially the compatriots of their new bosses - especially after learning the bayonets of the Han army, this kind of behavior seems to be extremely stupid and violates the minimum rules of civilization.

Kidd stood up first, took off his hat and put it on his 'chest' and bowed his head, "General Murong, I deeply sympathize with what happened to your compatriots. I firmly believe that the Spaniards who did this will be punished by God. But before God punishes them, I'm willing to be your pioneer and clear the way for you! ”

William's movements were not slow, and he quickly took off his hat and saluted: "Honorable General, I know the situation in the waters near Gibraltar very well, and I think our operation will be successful." ”

Looking at their solemn expressions, it really seemed like that, but the four people present knew what was going on. In fact, Kidd was not a tailwind boat to take the Han army, he was not short of money at all, and after doing business in the Gulf of New Guinea a few times, he had already made a lot of money. What he had always longed for now was to have a prominent status. And now Murong Parrot has given him all this, the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force are in front of him, disciplined and well-trained, the well-made, neatly styled leather armor, sabers, and compound bows unique to the East all prove the strength of the empire behind Murong Parrot, so he is very satisfied with the baron and lieutenant prices offered by Murong Parrot. Moreover, Murong Parrot also inadvertently mentioned that the soldiers of the expeditionary force can obtain their own fiefs after returning to the Far East, which is enough for our Captain Kidd to focus on things like heraldry and family crests.

And William is even simpler, he is an idiot who doesn't even want gold, silver and jewelry, and has to study all aspects of geography, Murong Parrot only made a promise to take him back to the Far East when the matter is over, and he immediately expressed unconditional compromise. In the Far East, Marco Bolo's travelogue is full of golden China, where there must be many things different from Europe waiting to be discovered, and this belief supported William thought that he would have the opportunity to erect his bust in the square.

So the apparent allegiance ceremony between the two was completed under such circumstances, and after the face was spoken, the next step was to discuss how to kill people and set fires.

Murong Parrot first put forward a plan that had been formulated in China at the beginning, disguised as a slave merchant ship, and after entering Seville, he caused a 'commotion' and 'chaos' in the slave market, and then took the opportunity to capture the city of Seville.

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that the other three people had strange expressions on their faces, Murong Parrot was not a fool, and immediately realized that he should have said the wrong thing, looking at their expressions, if he hadn't been afraid that he was their chief official, he might have scolded himself for being a fool.

Murong Parrot had nothing to do about it, and this plan was discussed by the General Staff and the relevant generals of the navy, and then the key tactical plan proposed to the expeditionary corps, and then reported to the Han King for heavy instructions. Even he himself only got the specific documents before leaving, but now the situation seems to be a bit of a general in the foreign military order, Murong Yu thought for a while, "If you have any opinions, just speak, after all, this plan was formulated thousands of miles away, and it is not outrageous to deviate." ”

Old Traver is old and sophisticated, although Murong Parrot admits that there is a deviation, he will not deliberately lose the face of his boss, and said in a tactful tone at the moment: "The Spaniards are indeed a slave trader. As he spoke, his eyes drifted to William and Kidd: "But the majority of them are the British, the Netherlands, and France, and the Spaniards only allow these countries to sell black slaves to their colonies, and the slave traders usually take the so-called Golden Triangle route, that is, load textiles, weapons, or all kinds of small commodities from Europe, transport them to West Africa, or the Gulf of Guinea, and then exchange them for black slaves in the strongholds on the shore, and then transport the black slaves directly to the Americas where they are needed, Finally, it was loaded with sugar, tobacco leaves, and cocoa from the Americas. The profits were enormous, and in Europe there were not many real slave markets, at most the people plundered from the Arabs on the shores of the Mediterranean into Black Africa, passing through Barcelona and Valencia. ”

At Old Traver, Kidd and William were silent, and they were involved in this kind of business, and the pirates would occasionally make cameos in the merchant ship when they couldn't find their prey. And Murong Parrot said that he wanted to free the black slaves, and he seemed to be more disgusted with the black slave trade, so before he reached the bottom line, it was better to make a fortune in a muffled voice.

In fact, the plan proposed by Murong Parrot at the beginning was also Lin Feng's prediction 'sexual' mistake, he thought of the booming black slave business in Europe at this time, but after crossing for so long, he forgot the famous triangular route (in fact, it may not be forgotten, most of them know nothing). That's why there is such an oolong. Fortunately, the three people who were now by Murong Parrot's side were all veterans in this area, and they didn't let Murong Parrot find out that the plan was wrong until he went deep into the city of Seville.

With the beginning of Old Travers, coupled with Murong Parrot's appearance of being quite modest and humble, William also put his mind at ease, and then Travers's words began, "I don't agree with the plan to go up the Guadalquivir River, although it is enough for our ships to pass, but Seville is the center of the entire southern Spain, and the defense of the river will definitely not be weak, even if we fly the Spanish flag, but so many ships will definitely attract the attention of the garrison, if there is an accident, We have absolutely no room for manoeuvre in the middle of the river, so if our target must be Seville, I suggest a different approach! ”

The plan that was made in China was really a bit bureaucratic anyway, and Murong Yu knew that there must be something wrong, but what he didn't expect was that the whole plan was full of leaks. In this case, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and sighed, "Okay, then please ask you to take a closer look at it and reformulate this battle plan!" ”
