Chapter Errors/Click here to report

Beginning with the Vikings of Northern Europe, the pirates were active participants and-stirring sticks who set foot on the seas in search of living space. But no matter in terms of scale, robbery or flamboyance, no pirate of any era can compare with his peers after the Great Geographical Discovery.

The global Xiaoice Age, from the late 16th century to the early 18th century, led to more than a hundred years of famine around the world, inspired generations to venture into the ocean, and became a powerful accelerator for the period of geographical discovery since 1492.

In the process, European countries seeking more overseas resources and products directly regarded the robbery at sea as an ATM machine that did not require a card number and password.

The spread and expansion of piracy is inseparable from the open participation of three countries: England, France and the Netherlands.

The world-class colonial empires that poor Spain and Portugal had built since the end of the 15th century had these three red-eyed countries cut stubble after stubble like sheep shearers, and Spain and Portugal had to fight back in the same way.

The pirates with the state as the backstage have become the most vocal supporting characters on this centuries-long maritime stage, making the entire world's oceans lively.

……

……

In two hours, a three-masted schoonard appeared on the side of the Mayflower, and on that mast fluttered a peculiar flag that did not look like a pirate or a naval warship—in the center of the bright red flag, two long swords interlaced into a holy cross.

Poor Captain Adelaide now doesn't even have the courage to resist, and the Mayflower is left with only 5 light bronze cannons after the heavy guns are removed by the "Yankees". This kind of self-defense firepower does not play any role at all except to annoy the opponent and provoke a blow of artillery fire.

A cannon shot, and a solid cannonball from a corsair more than 100 yards away fell directly less than ten meters from the stern, which was a warning.

After receiving the approval of the "Yankees", the English sailors, who had already experienced a capture, quickly lowered their sails, waited for the "harvest", and then prayed that they would at least spare their lives in an obedient manner.

Su Zining's opinion was to take a look, and Yan Xiaosong began to admire the pirate ship on the deck that was slightly larger than the Mayflower on the deck.

And Zhou Kemin and veteran special forces Zhu Xiaoli took the other three "German devils" who didn't know where to hide. Because they were seen talking quietly with Su Zining before the action, Yang Wenwen, Yuan Xinyi, and nurse Xia Qiuyu, who were frightened at first, also had to quiet down and chose to hide behind men such as Su Zining and Yan Xiaosong to watch the play.

"I bet that your Su Zining's start is simply too unsuccessful, and you watched the movie in vain?" From the very beginning, Ren Changle, the accountant who suddenly burst out of courage to oppose the arrest of his hands, took a sailor knife from the side of the ship, bared his teeth and compared it to the sun's rays, as if he was thinking about something, "How did it come about in the movie?" Do you really think the other person will quiet down and talk to us? ”

"They're not real pirates, otherwise they wouldn't be so polite." Su Zining pointed to the approaching boat, "My intuition tells me that they are not only here for money, nor for our lives. ”

"Well, you are very erudite, but I warn you, you have never been to the 17th century before!" Seeing that the pirate ship was almost at the distance of the gang, Ren Changle, who had switched back to being timid and afraid, quickly dropped the weapon in his hand, stiffened his body, and muttered at the corner of his mouth, "If you guess wrong, we will probably be sold to Jamaica......"

"Whatever you want...... But I do wonder if the most oily routes of the 17th century were probably in the Caribbean, and the big-bellied Spanish merchant ships were the best prey, and there were not many ships on the route from the Azores to North America these days. Su Zining glanced at Ren Changle's tense face, and couldn't help but smile, "Don't we still have a backhand?" What's the hurry? ”

"Well, I hope you won't be too wrong about what you see in the stall novel......"

While the two young men, who had exhausted their skills, were still discussing unscrupulously, the two sailing ships almost leaned together, and then a cheer rang out from the pirate ship opposite.

A few European sailors in filthy cloth swung their swords down the rope to the Mayflower, and then several planks were also attached to the Mayflower, and more armed sailors poured up the Mayflower's deck along this makeshift passage.

There weren't many pirates on the other side's ship, and from a glance, there were at most about 30 people, except for less than 10 who were guarding the deck guns and were in charge of monitoring, the remaining 20 or so people were all standing on the deck of the Mayflower.

"Hmph, Englishmen, you are indeed a bunch of cowards without courage!"

A crisp shout came from the crowd of pirates, and a small, dark-brown haired pirate in leather armor walked out of the crowd with a smug smile and looked up at the flag of England on the Mayflower mast.

Captain Adelaide's face twitched several times, and then he hung his head in frustration, and the English sailors around him were shrinking back.

"Hey, Lao Yan, guess what that person is talking about...... Do you think he looks like the leader of the other side? ”

Oh? Su Zining's eyes flashed, as if he had found something.

"Don't talk, they're not interested in us right now...... He didn't speak English, and I didn't know what to say. ”

Yan Xiaosong's body didn't move, but he roughly maintained the posture of protecting the three ladies behind him.

Su Zining ...... They are Spaniards......" Yuan Xinyi, who was behind Su Zining, muttered in a low voice, "He was mocking Captain Adelaide, saying that they were robbers and cowards in England. ”

"I don't think we look more like pirates!" Yan Xiaosong muttered fiercely.

While the traversers were still exchanging ideas among themselves, the Mayflower sailors in front of them suddenly flashed to the side. And then...... Then Su Zining, Yan Xiaosong and others were exposed.

Captain Adelaide shrugged his shoulders and said that he was just playing by the rules, and that in this case, it would have to be the person on the ship who had the first say. In Adelaide's view, he was just a hired man, and these Yankees were the real owners of the Mayflower.

He is only 1.6 meters tall, but he is not too short in Europe at this time. He was thin and small, with short brownish-black hair wrapped around his forehead with a red cloth scarf. He was dressed in simple leather armor, with a wide belt around his waist, an old-fashioned flintlock musket hanging from the belt, a pair of small leather boots on his feet, and a dirty face with a small nose, small mouth and big eyes. No matter how you look at it, it's just a little white face and a tender head about 20 years old.

"Indians?"

The little pirate seemed to have a strong leadership among his people, and no one spoke up when he spoke, and the people on Su Zining's side didn't dare to speak out.

"No, Americans." Su Zining seemed to understand this word, which was a little different from English. He shrugged his shoulders, looked calm, and then looked back at the female translator.

"Americans...... Lao Su, your skin is not much thinner than mine...... It's the first time I've heard you take the initiative to say this. Yan Xiaosong tried hard to control himself from laughing, but his face twitched.

Yuan Xinyi bit her lip and walked out from behind Yan Xiaosong. Slightly straightened his long hair and translated the words into Spanish.

Yuan Xinyi's appearance directly set off a whistling sound in the pirate crowd, and there were a few screams that didn't know what they meant.

The little pirate's gaze stopped at a beautiful female translator dressed differently from the other Europeans, especially on the fur-collared trench coat, professional skirt, long-legged black stockings, and high-heeled boots before he came back to his senses.

"You're the captain?" Su Zi quietly looked at the other party's dusty young face, and couldn't help but ask.

"Nope! I'm the acting captain! Boatswain of the Santa Maria, Antonio de Elenzo. The little pirate turned back haughtily, and the pirates cheered, all kinds of obscenity and all kinds of vulgarity.

"It doesn't matter what kind of Indian you are, or if you're an American, you don't have the right to waste my time right now! In the name of His Majesty King Philip, the Holy King of Spain and Portugal, the Netherlands, Sicily and Naples, Franche-Comte, and the Supreme Ruler of Milan, I declare you and this ship a captive of Spain! ”

The little pirate was obviously a young man of letters, too, and the list of place names and titles made it a bit confusing for a female translator who was fluent in many European languages.

"I know who he is!" Su Zining suddenly turned his head and said something to Yan Xiaosong.

What made people collapse was that Yuan Xinyi, another literary and artistic young man who was so nervous, actually translated Su Zining's words to Yan Xiaosong.

There was a wave of surprise in the crowd of pirates, and even the little pirate himself's face changed dramatically.

"That'...... If you know each other well, can you ......?"

Before Yan Xiaosong could finish speaking, a shining sword light swung over, and then headed towards Su Zining's neck.

Su Zining only felt that his body was slammed into something, and he fell on the deck. As soon as he looked up, he found that the sailor knife in the little pirate's hand was slashing at Yan Xiaosong's left shoulder, and the blood flowed out at once, dripping down the young man's arm on the deck.

All the pirates roared, and cold weapons and arquebuses were aimed at the Mayflower's passengers.

"No, I just warned him!" The little pirate was also confused by the current situation, and stared at his hand holding the knife, his body trembling slightly.

The three female traversers all screamed at the same time, and Ren Changle and Huo Qian, who had not dared to move before, ran to Yan Xiaosong's side in a few steps, supporting the young man whose body was dyed red on half of his body.

"Phew!"

A gunshot rang out, and the head of a pirate with a torch guarding the deck gun on the pirate ship exploded like a watermelon.

A succession of gunshots followed, and blood splattered from the few closest to the deck guns and the pirates standing high with arquebuses.

It happened in just three seconds, and before the pirates on the Mayflower who were startled by the gunfire could react, a few more bullets flew in, and several pirates with arquebuses rolled to the ground with screams.

The canvas in a corner of the Mayflower deck was turned over, Zhu Xiaoli and Zhou Kemin stood up with automatic rifles in their hands and expressions of intimidation, and on the other side, three accompanying armed policemen who had been lurking for a long time also held automatic rifles and pointed them at the sailors on the opposite pirate ship.

"Courageous, but also a despicable sneak attack!" The little pirate could see at a glance that the five "soldiers" who suddenly appeared were prepared, but thinking that the other party had already fired a gun just now, he sneered and raised the knife in his hand.

A few of the knowing pirates screamed strangely, and rushed over with their sailors' knives.

Zhou Kemin fired a series of strafing, and a row of bullet holes splashed with wood chips and smoke appeared under the pirates' feet, and then several pirates who were planning to attack just now were frightened. Another shot was fired, and a bullet hole appeared in the little pirate's foot.

"Gentlemen, the banquet is over!" The experienced Adelaide seized the opportunity, and under his leadership, the Mayflower's sailors quickly picked up their weapons from the surrounding area and surrounded the panicked pirates.

It's hard to imagine that these "Americans" who look like Indians have such terrible weapons!

In just a few dozen seconds, more than 10 pirates were killed and wounded, and the rest of them all looked at the five soldiers in gray uniforms with distraction, just constantly shrinking back.

"You...... Who did you just say he was? Yan Xiaosong left the support of his companions, walked in front of the little pirate, reached out and snatched the knife in the other party's hand, and then turned around and asked suspiciously.

Caterina Alonzo...... The heroine of a famous nautical game that we played, her historical prototype, Lieutenant Caterina de Ellanso of the Spanish Navy. ”

Su Zining looked at the bloody scene, shook his head, and sighed slightly.

"Just like in the game, you're such a daring chick......"

Yan Xiaosong was stunned for a moment, then looked playfully at the little pirate in front of him, who was already earthy, and then fell backwards......
