As the Goliath drifted out of the mouth of the Thames, the outline of London blurred, and in a moment it became a distant shadow and disappeared in an instant.

"Lord Earl, what a good man to go to sea today! It's a southeast wind today, and the wind is in our favor! Once we reach the English Channel, we can sail downwind towards the Strait of Gibraltar! Captain Jack snapped and put away the monoculars, smiling and saying to Han Xing, who was looking into the distance on the deck.

At this moment, Han Xingcai felt that this Captain Jack had truly transformed into a reliable captain, a proud son of the ocean who galloped the seven seas! Considering that Han Xing needed to ask him for advice on how to steer a boat, he smiled and nodded, "Captain Jack, you seem to have a good heart!" ”

"Of course! Count Segade, I'm old! If it weren't for His Majesty's request, I would have retired and gone home long ago! This is my last time at sea, and when I come back this time, I will go back to accompany my family in Schulseburly, to accompany my dear Jane! Look how happy she is! Captain Jack sighed, took out the necklace hanging around his neck from his bosom and brought it to Han Xingdao, it was a pendant with a photo embedded in it, on which was a woman hugging a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, and the two were laughing.

"The last time you went to sea? Retire and return to your hometown to spend time with your family? Dude, do you know how many flags you have set? Han Xing suddenly felt a fluster, this Captain Jack has set up a little too many flags, right? If you, the captain, had three long and two short, wouldn't we have to finish the game?

"Captain Jack, what is the state of the weapons and equipment and the combat effectiveness of the sailors on board the Goliath?" Han Xing suddenly asked, he felt the need to know this, because in case of an emergency, at least he had to know whether to run away or fight.

"Your Excellency, you can rest assured! We had 50 guns, plenty of ammunition, and 150 sailors on board, all old men who had been with me at sea for many years! "Captain Jack (xiōng) has a bamboo way.

Before Han Xing could speak, Captain Jack had already turned (shēn) and yelled at the crew on the ship, "Slackers! Go and lower my half-sail, it's time for us to change the rudder!" The English Channel ahead! So saying, he took the helm and began to turn the ship to the right.

Truth be told, it's a great experience to be on a real boat and enjoy that spectacular view of the cleaving waves! But only if you're not a crew member, you're a passenger. Otherwise, the job of scrubbing the deck alone is not done by people!

Today is indeed a sunny day, since the beginning of autumn, the sun is shining, the autumn is high and refreshing, and the refreshing sea breeze from the northwest sweeps away the humid and stuffy climate of the British region, making people feel refreshed. The bright but unscorching sunlight sprinkled on Han Xing's shēn, making him warm all over.

Along the way, the north coast of France and the southern part of the British Isles are in full view, with picturesque beaches and coastlines carved by nature, some steep, some gentle, and some endless. Some of them make people marvel at the power of nature, and feel a chill down their backs, because those coral reefs hidden at the bottom of the sea, colorful, and dreamlike can be completely killers of ships, and if they are not careful, they will be destroyed and killed.

Han Xing even saw the wreckage of a shipwreck in the colorful and crystal clear coral reef area, lying quietly on the bottom of the sea, telling that this beautiful sea area is a typical "femme fatale".

Han Xing suddenly heard a voice in his head, and he muttered in the veins of Han (qíng):

Yes! Farewell, my France!

My dear (ài) land, my motherland

Where I was born, where I grew up

You are full of memories of my childhood

You are full of fantasies about my future

You are my end, my beginning

Your beautiful mountains and rivers are unforgettable in my heart

Your bright sunshine reminds me (rì) of the night

You are my mother, who gave birth to me and made me who I am

You are my cradle, hugging me and caring for me

I should have pounced on you, hugged you, and repaid you with my life

Even if it is a bloody sacrifice, what is there to fear?

But now I am far from you

I am (qíng) as a last resort, but parting is a foregone conclusion······

"Brother, it's not me who bothers you, I have no problem saying goodbye to your France! But I want to ask you a question, which side is France, please? Han Xing was very unhappy with Louis XVI's sudden appearance of Wenqing, so he decided to rectify him.

"Of course it's ahead!" Louis XVI said decisively to Han Xing.

"You figure it out! Spain is ahead! It's on the left-hand side! Han Xing said with a black line on his face.

"It's up to you to figure it out! Don't forget you haven't left the Channel yet! Brittany at the front also now belongs to France! Louis XVI said triumphantly, and Han Xing could even hear Marie's suffocated laughter.

"As long as you don't say the right side of the book, you have a point, right?" Han Xing scolded with a smile, and suddenly said viciously: "By the way, last time I went to see George III, why didn't you show up?" ”

"You know~ We also need to sleep! Wait, you said you met George III? Louis XVI's explanation was quite reliable, it turned out that he was not "online" before but was sleeping, but as soon as he heard about George III, Louis XVI immediately became interested.

"It's all you! I met George III's son, the Whale Prince, and mistook him for a king·······" Han Xing almost cried, and then told Louis XVI what had happened that day (qíng) as it was.

The sound of Louis XVI wiping his sweat could be heard from a world away, and he immediately laughed awkwardly: "Hanschel, you must know that George III is not an ordinary man!" He was a man of the same era as Frederick II of Prussia and Catherine II of Russia, plus my mother-in-law, Empress Marie Theresa of Austria! ”

"You mean to say that he's a hidden boss who doesn't show anything?" Han Xing summed it up for Louis XVI.

"I don't know what you mean, but George III is a man of the ages! It's almost on par with my grandfather, Louis XV! Louis XVI also knew a general meaning of Han Xing's modern vocabulary.

"So you're making that suggestion in the end!" Louis XVI made a coffin-cloaking conclusion about Han Xing's actions.

Han Xing had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and say, "At least he won't disturb the future development of the situation!" ”

"Do you think that Napoleon could really bring France to glory? Rule all of Europe, dissolve the Holy Roman Empire, and bring the Emperor's laurels to France! Louis XVI suddenly said in an excited tone.

"Where did you hear that?" Han Xing was surprised that Louis XVI was able to learn about Napoleon (qíng).

"Of course Mr. Wang Pengfei said it! This little nobleman from Corsica was able to accomplish such a great thing! It's amazing, I didn't expect France to rely on the leadership of foreigners to achieve glory! Alas, the glorious Revolution would have begun with the execution of a king and ended with the return of an emperor······" Louis XVI sighed sadly.

Han Xing didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to say, "He's actually not a foreigner!" In the future, Corsica will always be the territory of France! Louis XVI fell silent, and Han Xing could only hear him hurriedly flipping through the book, and then "hung up".

For the next few days, the Goliath sailed at sea, stopping at Devon and Gibraltar to resupply before continuing on its way.

Not to mention, the iconic (xìng) wonder of Gibraltar, the Gibraltar Rock is truly remarkable! From afar, it looks like a floating island floating on the sea, and only when you get closer can you realize that it is a small island that rises high. This abrupt green hill in the middle of the sea is like a mirage, and only by touching it can one dare to believe its existence.

Han Xing and the others were planning to travel at public expense, so they had to climb high and look far, the climate in the Mediterranean zone was warm and pleasant, otherwise the ancient Romans and ancient Greeks would not have dressed so coolly! It's just that it seems that since ancient times, the dividing line of the (rè) belt region has continued to move southward, and even in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the people of the Celestial Empire also dressed very coolly! It's just that now if you want to feel the climate of the (rè) belt, you have to rush to the front line of Guangdong and Yunnan.

The Goliath continued to sail along the coast of North Africa, which was to avoid the threat of the Spanish fleet. Just when everyone thought that their journey would be spent in a picturesque landscape of laughter and poetry, they suddenly noticed that a bad fleet appeared ahead.

To say that they are on a boat is simply an insult to the boat! Call it a small sampan, and the dinghy is more appropriate! Of course, this is compared to the Goliath at Han Xing's feet.

In fact, their boat is about 50 meters long and more than ten meters wide, but the height is pitiful, only a few meters, which can guarantee that it will not enter the water. This kind of ship can only be played in an inland sea such as the Mediterranean! Once in the deep sea, without shelling, a few waves can swallow them to the point that there are no bones left!

"It's a pirate! Gunner, notify the gunner, open the hole, reload the gun, and get ready for battle! Boatswain, go and mobilize the sailors, and tell the scum that if you don't want to go to the deck, give Lao Tzu a little more numbness! Captain Jack put away his binoculars and snarled at his men.

Not to mention, his appearance is really a bit scary, even Han Xing was shocked by him! But the more he was like this, the more Han Xing felt at ease, after all, if he panicked and muttered there, "What should I do?" What to do! "That's what a terrible thing to do!

"Pirates, where did they come from?" Han Xing asked Captain Jack curiously.

Captain Jack had already taken out a pistol, and while loading ammunition, he said to Han Xing: "Lord Earl, now is not the time to speak, you should quickly hide in the cabin!" Leave it to those of us who are begging for a living at sea! These pirates love torturing noble captives like you! Captain Jack said with some hideous intimidation. Obviously, he didn't want Han Xing to make any mistakes.

Han Xing pulled out his 'broken heart' and played a few sword flowers and said, "Don't worry, I can fight!" Captain Jack just gave him a disdainful glance and said, "My Earl! Those vicious pirates won't tell you anything about fairness and morality, and to be honest, the little swordsmanship you learn won't be of any use at sea! The broadside battle is nothing more than fast and ruthless, and you have to be sharp, I don't think you're ready! You'd better go back to the cabin! ”

"I'm sure!" Han Xing said firmly, he thought to himself: "Just kidding, I'm the man who is going to go on an adventure in Pirates of the Caribbean!" If I can't even kill a few third-rate pirates, how can I compete with a legendary battleship? ”

Captain Jack just put the lead pellet in his mouth into the chamber of the flintlock pistol and said coldly, "Whatever you want! But let me warn you, Lord Count, if you pee your pants in fear, I may not be free to save you! Han Xing could completely hear that his "Lord Earl" was a proper irony.
