Chapter 155: First Come, First Come

The Jackdaw was moored in the port for three days, during which many people petitioned Zhang Heng, the captain, to get off the ship and were rejected, if this kind of thing happened before, the sailors would most likely unite to put pressure on the captain, but when Di Freina, the quartermaster and bookkeeper on the ship, calculated the benefits of everyone on this voyage, everyone was quiet again.

In particular, the newcomers who had just joined were glad that they were lucky enough to be on board the Jackdaw, and they didn't want to lose their ability to stay on the ship because of such a trivial matter.

However, this situation only barely lasted for three days, and after three days, even if someone pointed a gun at the head, this group of pirates who had nowhere to vent their energy did not want to stay on the ship honestly, no matter whether Zhang Heng, the captain or Billy, the helmsman, no one listened to it anymore, seeing that the boat was controlled, some people were even ready to jump into the water and swim directly to the shore, anyway, it was not far from the dock.

And Zhang Heng calculated, at this time, the Breeze should have been safe, so he didn't stop anyone again. So the pirates rushed to the ferry boat and rowed to the pier as fast as they could, and the onlookers on the shore were also shocked when they saw this, and everyone was curious about what the Jackdaw's harvest was from going to sea this time, and after waiting for so long, there was finally a result.

But then the pirates who came ashore did not stop at all, and rushed to the residence of the merchant who mortgaged and lent money on the island, but fortunately, the latter had already prepared, and when he saw the movement at the dock from afar, he asked the guards to move a table and put it in front of the door, and also carried a sack out.

Di Freina handed over the note signed by Karina and Zhang Heng in his hand, and Casby took it and carefully checked it three times before putting it in his pocket, and then entered the much-anticipated payment of money from the pirates.

Each pirate on this voyage received at least 40 Spanish gold coins, which was equivalent to 320 silver soupees, far exceeding the most optimistic expectations, and those who had positions, such as gunners and cooks, received an additional 160 silver soupees.

Zhang Heng himself even got a huge sum of 120 Spanish gold coins, in addition to being the captain's double share of the booty, there was also a share from the veterans, which was an additional income that only the seventeen people who originally grabbed the Jackdaw could enjoy.

It stands to reason that this warship is the first trophy of the pirate group, but because it can't be directly discounted, it can only be subsidized in installments in this form. According to the regulations, the division of veterans will last for three years and will not change with the change of captain, and will be automatically canceled in the event of disembarkation or death.

And Anne, as the boatswain and the most heroic man in this battle, also got 80 gold coins, and the red-haired girl was lifted out of poverty overnight, from the abject poverty under the fence to the little rich woman with small assets on the island.

But then she graciously handed 40 of the gold coins to someone, "According to our previous agreement, you will share half of the spoils of my first voyage to sea." ”

This is a promise made by Anne when the two first met, but because it was too long, Zhang Heng had already forgotten it, but he didn't expect the red-haired girl to remember.

However, to say that Anne didn't spend much money on staying here during this time, Zhang Heng had already paid the rent of the house, so in fact, it was just a matter of adding an extra pair of tableware, and the cost was about two gold coins, which was completely a gesture in Zhang Heng's opinion.

But when he looked into the girl's eyes, he knew that Anne's attitude towards this matter was more serious than he had imagined.

Zhang Heng couldn't refuse the money, so he could only accept the half bag of gold coins.

…………

Soon, the whole of Nassau knew the news that the Jackdaw had returned from this voyage, and the result also surprised many people.

Less than two months ago, the vast majority of people were looking down on the newly formed pirate group, believing that its captain was too young and inexperienced, and that many of those who were interested in joining were waiting for the Jackdaw's maiden voyage to be over, but now all of them are in regret.

Especially when a sailor on the Jackdaw lost 20 gold coins in one night at a casino on the island, there was a craze in Nassau to form a pirate group to go to sea.

However, these people have no warships, and second, they have no reliable manpower, and the captain is also hastily selected, and they go to sea to chase wealth with a hot head, and most of the end is miserable, and it is already calculated that they return empty-handed, and a small number of them have gains, and after they come back, they have to face the price reduction of the black business alliance, and they only then realize that it is really not easy to make money.

On the other side, Zhang Heng gave the crew of the Jackdaw a month's vacation.

This is also the aftermath of the great victory, the first voyage of the Jackdaw can be described as perfect, each crew member received a large sum of money, and their pockets were filled, but correspondingly their desire to go to sea again to plunder was also minimized, and almost all of them were now thinking about how to squander this money.

Today, the theaters, casinos, and taverns in Nassau City seem to have been chartered by the crew of the Jackdaw, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere.

It is obviously unrealistic to expect these guys to be able to raise their fighting spirit immediately, but Zhang Heng can take advantage of this time to deal with some things.

Zhang Heng, Anne, and Billy came to a tavern called Mermaid's House at sunset, and met a group of Jackdaw crew members who came out of it at the door, most of them were drunk, and there were a few good-looking chicks next to them.

After the vignette, the three of them divided into two ways according to the original plan, Anne and Billy walked into the mermaid's house, while Zhang Heng went around to the alley at the back door of the tavern, Zhang Heng took out the watch he had just bought yesterday in the morning, looked at the time, and two minutes later there was a sudden commotion in the tavern, and there was a thin bearded man who rudely pushed away the drinkers and hostesses in front of him, and ran all the way to the back door of the tavern.

Without thinking about it, he pushed it away, he looked nervously behind him while running, but he didn't expect to be tripped on his leg the next moment, and he could no longer control his center of gravity, leaned forward, and fell directly into a piece of vomit by the wall.

And when he turned his head, he saw the muzzle of a black hole.

But it didn't take long for an angry man to rush out of the tavern, he was knocked over the wine glass in his hand by the mustachioed man while drinking, and chased him out to teach the latter a lesson, but he didn't expect the mustachioed man to see him with a look of excitement on his face, as if he had seen a relative.

However, his excitement didn't last long, because Zhang Heng had already taken out the second short musket and pointed at the big man who rushed out later, "Sorry, come first and come first." ”
