Chapter Errors/Click here to report

In the context of the lack of entertainment projects, under the deliberate depiction of some literary and artistic youths, and under the guidance of some dark psychology...... All these factors combined, and people who lived a stressful and boring life rushed to the docks in droves after work to see the sailing ship that was touted to the sky by later philosophers, politicians, historians, and all kinds of others.

The nearly thirty-metre-long sailboat is docked at the pier, the entire ship is washed and disinfected from the inside out, and is open to "tourists" today.

On a newly raised wooden lookout in the distance, Su Zining and Zhou Xiaosong leaned side by side on the railing and smoked cigarettes.

In fact, half a month ago, almost all smokers stopped cooking, but miracles always happen. After Zheng Quan, the top smoker, finally exhausted his last packet, he was embarrassed to reveal the last secret he had "hidden" at the regular committee meeting.

On the day of the catastrophe, he was in charge of the customs anti-smuggling task, which was to intercept a batch of smuggled goods that tried to mix out of the port in the name of other goods - more than 200 kilograms of gold, as well as tens of thousands of cigarettes and imported Greek cotton used to cover up the smuggled goods!

As soon as this news came out, public opinion was in an uproar! The whole committee and even the smokers who quickly learned the news were excited. And then...... Then, under the pressure of public opinion, Yan Xiaosong, who was in charge of sorting out and excavating materials at the landing site, quickly adjusted the focus of their work and went all out to search for treasures that might be buried in the ruins of warehouses and ships.

The 3,500-ton bulk carrier formerly known as Ningyun 02 is now sinking into the forests of Manhattan Island in a toppled manner, and the former crew members died on the day of the disaster.

In the previous material collection activities, only the diesel fuel was drained and some of the ship's engines were dismantled, and only 200 tons of imported cotton from Greece were found in the upper warehouse that could be opened. Because the lower warehouse was previously sealed by the customs anti-smuggling team with welding guns.

Now this broken ship, which grandma doesn't love and grandpa doesn't love, is instantly surrounded by dozens of dock workers, and people are not stingy to use the most precious resource at this stage - gas welding and cutting to open the hidden compartment mezzanine below.

In a whole day, more than 1,000 boxes of domestic cigarettes were moved, and the number was so large that it could only be counted in tons. In a more secluded corner, customs officers moved out the smuggled gold with the assistance of armed police.

Although the precious metal no longer has any meaning at the moment, at Zheng Quan's insistence, it is still sealed in the most tightly managed place in the Manhattan community. Cigarettes, on the other hand, were supplied once and gave smokers a night out on the same day.

"You know what it means to be idle...... Honestly? Actually, I'm quite excited. Yan Xiaosong took a deep puff of cigarette comfortably, with a look of satisfaction, "The reason is not that this Mayflower, which gives special historical significance, really appears in front of you, but that the people on board are more unlucky than us, and all that is left for us in the end is all good things." At least it proves that it is 1620, several years before the large-scale European colonization of North America. ”

"I've noticed that your optimistic life is getting meaner and meaner." Su Zining pursed his lips, but there was also a smile that could not be concealed in the corners of his eyes, "They are indeed unlucky, they damaged the mast shortly after leaving England, and then they lost a lot of time to avoid the pursuit of pirates, and then there was an outbreak of disease, and they also encountered a storm...... Except for the confusion of their final destination, they did not delay their journey, and finally arrived in the New World on November 11, 1620, as stipulated by history, and crashed into New York Bay. ”

"Well, 5 12-pounder cannons, 5 24-pounder guns, 32 barrels of gunpowder, a large number of farm tools and seeds......" Yan Xiaosong excitedly lit another cigarette and pointed to the ships on the dock in the distance, "There are also 109 smoothbore flintlock pistols that are the most advanced in this era, you must know that at this time, the most powerful Spanish army in Europe still uses arquebuses!" ”

"Did these Puritans come to fight, or did they come to settle? But I'm sure they didn't have time for that famous meeting in the midst of their crazy diarrhea, and history cleverly paused with us. Su Zining also smiled. Then the two men walked down the watchtower with their shoulders on their backs, and walked towards the council office building in the residential area.

……

……

The Mayflower departed with a crew of 17 and 102 immigrants with it. Arrived with one less crew member and one more passenger: a newborn baby.

An epidemic of gastroenterology nearly destroyed the Mayflower's future, but fortunately, the last few days at sea, in addition to making the whole ship stink rapidly, only one cook died, and everyone else lay weak in the cabin. Only the captain and a few sailors were left dragging Yan zhòng's dehydrated body "lying" on the deck and holding their posts.

Towed by a customs ship, the Mayflower crew disembarked at Staten Island and took up shelter in the coal mines. The entire medical team was dispatched to disinfect and isolate as necessary, followed by the extraordinary effect of rufloxacin in this era, plus a large amount of clean drinking water.

Three days later, the last patient was out of danger, only to find themselves isolated in a remote coal mining area, surrounded by makeshift fences and guarded by several yellow-skinned and black-haired soldiers in odd uniforms.

For this reason, the priest of Brest tried several times to go out of the mining area to meet the local "governor" to see what was going on, but he was forced back by the armed police soldiers with loaded guns.

Almost all personal belongings were confiscated, and even all men, except for the women, were forcibly shaved their heads, and even their clothes were changed into a strange cotton fabric that was very comfortable and thick.

"Mr. Captain Adelaide, Priest Brest, you must tell the Indian mercenaries outside, we want to see the local governor, we have the original contract with the Virginia Company, and they have no authority to detain us!"

In a large wooden shack painted with white lime, dozens of men were arguing fiercely with various expressions. Their leader, Captain Adelaide and priest Brest, remained silent.

"Perhaps, this is not a New England colony. And they didn't put any more restrictions on us, it seemed like they were treating us more like ......"

Pastor Brest bowed his head in frustration, rubbing his hand over the only personal belongings that had not been confiscated, a Bible.

"They weren't like the Indians, who didn't have the cure-all for the ship's terminal illness. There can be no one in the whole of Europe. ”

Captain Adelaide nodded, he had seen too many incredible things in the past few days. At any time in the past, when an epidemic of infectious diseases appeared on ships, it was the beginning of mass annihilation, and very few ships were spared.

The discussion lasted for more than an hour, and when their stomachs began to signal hunger, they heard a large number of footsteps outside the shack.

"Gentlemen, for the sake of minimum humanitarianism, we have used the most expensive medicine to relieve your pain, and it seems that you have been cured."

Yan Xiaosong, who was dressed in a suit, walked into the shack with a smile like a spring breeze, followed by several committee members, as well as several men in uniform who were five big and three thick.

The people in the shack stood up one after another, and they all looked at each other in amazement. The "Indian" in front of him apparently spoke English fluently, although some of the grammar and vocabulary were a little different.

Before they could react, the young yellow-skinned man pulled out another piece of paper from his coat pocket.

"However, on behalf of the Government of the United States of America, I regret to inform you that you, together with your armed vessels, have been seized by the Maritime Guard because you are carrying offensive weapons and invading our waters without permission. You have to be held as prisoners of war under our laws without any formal diplomatic explanation. ”

"American ......" Su Zining suddenly sneezed loudly, and several fellow committee members turned their heads.

Except for the discordant sneezing, there was peace in the shack. Yan Xiaosong turned around and gave Su Zining a relaxed and bright smile.
