The sea breeze was gently blowing, the waves were gently swaying, the sun in the sky with a weak glow shone on the deck of the panting sailors, and the chirping of seagulls rang in the ears.

If it weren't for the injury on his arm, Andrews felt that he could get a bottle of wine, eat a piece of fresh beef, lie on the deck, bask in the sun, blow the salty sea breeze, and enjoy the rare and suitable time of winter.

However, the physical pain, the blood on the deck, and the constant wailing of the sailors still reminded him that he was out of luck.

Yes, that's right, he was unlucky, as the first merchant ship to deliver supplies to the Americas, he was very unfortunate to be attacked by pirates.

With bandages on his shoulders, Andrewson grimaced a cold face, staring at the undulating sea ahead, feeling very unhappy.

Some time ago, the large-scale issuance of privateer permits led to a wave of piracy throughout the United Kingdom, and a large number of young adults from the low-income villages rushed to the sea.

In this way, those policemen and ordinary people are of course happy, and the law and order are much better; The shipyard is also happy, and there are a lot of orders.

But, unfortunately, these merchants, even if the London Colonial Company to which he belongs has the participation of His Majesty the King, there are still small thieves who are not long-sighted and ready to plunder.

After all, the sea is vast, and after eating you, how can you find out?

Of course, most pirates don't dare to go too far because of the privateering license and the provisions of the pirate law, but there are still too many people who don't have long eyes, and there are countless people who are bold.

So, like other merchants, Andrews complained about the promulgation of the Piracy Act, which made his dissatisfaction even worse when it was a matter of life and property.

Touching his well-bandaged wound, Andrews took a breath of cool air, and a wave of gratitude suddenly welled up in his heart:

Fortunately, God willing, fortunately there was a doctor on board, fortunately someone invented bandages, fortunately someone invented alcohol disinfection, otherwise it would have been really troublesome.

Of course, he wouldn't know that the previous ones were invented by the people who caused him harm, otherwise his face would be really wonderful.

"Look, boss, what's that?" The first mate on the side commanded the sailors to scrub the deck that still smelled of blood, and then pointed ahead with surprise on his face and said loudly.

"Oh? Is there, where is Edwardtown built by Gilbert? It was so unexpected! ”

As the first mate looked at it, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Andrews's face, and the original grievances were swept away.

What appeared before his eyes was no longer patches of primeval forests and swamps, nor elk and rabbits, but a land full of life.

The vast forest, which used to be tall and obscured from the light, has been cut down one by one, creating an open space of tens of thousands of acres, and the stumps have been removed.

The tall trunks of the trees have been transformed into tall wooden huts, and the dry branches and leaves are also neatly placed on the roof, acting as a shelter for the roof, and the windows are triangular, with a deep English style at this time.

A rough estimate is that there are hundreds of such wooden houses.

Outside the wooden house area, a tall fence is surrounded, like a long snake, guarding the residential area and deterring the humble invaders.

From the sea, you can vaguely see that the figures in the fence are constantly moving, like busy ants, working hard for life.

Outside the fence is a field of farmland, unknown crops, growing vigorously with indescribable vitality.

A small village was quietly born in North America.

"It's great that Gilbert didn't disappoint!"

Seeing such a pioneering situation, Andrews was also very happy and overflowing.

He was not without reason, and he was very excited not to say that Gilbert was his friend, but to say that he had some shares in the London Colonial Company.

"Quick, get over there, let me see what the Governor is up to today!"

Andrews hurried the sailors on board, and he was a little eager to meet Gilbert.

"Look, what is that, it looks like a supply ship is coming!" The young militiaman, with his arquebus, shouted excitedly as he watched a ship approaching quickly, and what appeared to be the one carrying him.

"You stay here, I'll go back!" Sure that it was a supply ship, the young man hurriedly left his companion and ran briskly down the tower to the tallest and most luxurious of the many cabins.

"Da Da Da-" The sound of hurried, loud footsteps reached Humphrey. Gilbert's ears followed, followed by the sound of the janitor's interception and a burst of explanation, and vaguely he heard the words of the supply ship.

As the Governor-General, the busy Gilbert looked up impatiently and asked:

"What's wrong?"

"My lord, a militiaman said that a supply ship is coming!" The doorman hurriedly walked in and said happily.

"Yes, that's great!" Gilbert hurriedly stood up, where to take care of the affairs at hand, hurriedly walked out of the house, and led the people to the fence.

At this time, all the immigrants already knew about the arrival of the supply ship, and they also put down their affairs, stood on tiptoe, and watched the gradually clear shadow of the ship with a pair of eyes full of expectation.

Soon, this huge armed merchant ship was revealed in front of everyone's eyes, and the screams and screams were endless.

Seeing that it was a familiar ship, Gilbert's nervous heart suddenly relaxed.

"Gilbert, my Lord Governor, is doing well now!"

"Andrews, my friend, your arrival will make my life better!"

The two hugged for a moment, then laughed and teased each other before walking side by side into the walled city.

Later, naturally someone will arrange the new arrivals and accept supplies, and the two bigwigs don't need to do it themselves.

"How many supplies did you send this time?" As he walked, Gilbert asked with some eagerness.

"This time, because I don't know your situation, there are only a hundred immigrants, but there are a lot of supplies!"

"1,000 quintals of grain, 1,000 farm tools of all kinds, hundreds of spears, 100 arquebuses, 100 barrels of gunpowder, enough cloth for a thousand people, and the rest, considering that there are many of them, I only brought a few!"

Captain Andrews said with a soft chuckle as he walked and looked at Gilbert's eager expression.

"In less than half a month, the remaining two ships will also arrive in turn, you have to be ready!"

"And, guess what, my Lord Governor, I have brought you this time?"

Faced with his friend's question, Gilbert asked with some doubts, "What is it?" ”
