"Mr. Tang."

William Turner's ship did not slow down until it approached, and he was a little apologetic and awkward: "I was a little emotional just now, and in any case, I thank Mr. Don for being willing to tell me what the pirate said." ”

"It's okay, Mr. Turner." Tang Sen said: "Now that you chase it, do you still have any questions?" ”

"If I could, I'd like to see the pirate in person." William Turner said: "It's unlikely, but when it comes to my father's news, I think I should be more cautious. ”

"How do you tell if a pirate is true or false?" Townsend smirked: "What if he told you that it was just a story?" ”

William Turner was silent for a moment and said, "So, I need Mr. Tang's help." ”

"I hope to find the pirate named William Turner."

"Mr. Turner." Tang Sen's smile slowly converged: "I am willing to help you, but what are you willing to give?" ”

He said flatly: "You should know that you have to pay off. ”

"I—" William Turner paused, lowering his eyes, "I'm afraid I can't think of anything that would interest Mr. Tang." ”

In Turner's opinion, Townsend was too wealthy, he could buy almost everything in the world, and his little blacksmith apprentice could not afford to pay Mr. Town.

"In this world, everyone is useful, maybe you just didn't find it yourself." Tang Sen's tone softened and said, "Mr. Turner, my help only needs to be changed." ”

"What requirements?" William Turner wondered.

"Let's get on board first, it's almost time to sail, and Commodore Norrington won't wait for me."

The boat swayed to the side of a large merchant ship, and the people leaning on the side of the ship burst into cheers.

"I knew Mr. Tang liked big ones! Look! I guessed it right! ”

"Great, I'm going to follow Mr. Tang to sea!"

Someone quickly lowered the ladder to the deck and shouted down in a flattering manner, "Mr. Tang, come up from here!" ”

"Thank you." Townsend nodded politely, let Tom climb into the boat first, and waited for the other party to disperse the dense crowd before following.

After His Royal Highness William Turner, the moment he boarded the ship, he couldn't help but look back at the dock square, but he didn't see Miss Swan, he couldn't help but feel a little lost, gritted his teeth, and withdrew his gaze.

Warm applause rang out, and Tang Sen pressed down with both hands, and said, "Gentlemen, next, I am glad that I can spend a long journey with you. ”

"I play from time to time, and the rewards are still the same as Port Royal."

"Of course, above the sea is no better than on land, and any unwise behavior could cost the entire ship's lives, so there are some things that have to be said in advance."

"I don't care what your status was before, sailors, merchants, or even vagrants, when you come to this ship, you are all my crew members, and you need to strictly follow the order on board, and if anyone disobeys orders, or even commits crimes, they will face punishment."

The ecstasy on everyone's faces faded, and someone whispered, "Isn't that just being a sailor?" I hadn't done any manual work, so I thought it was just a boat. ”

"If you're not willing to accept it, there's still a chance to leave."

Townsend just said calmly.

No one moved, and even those who complained, were unwilling to give up this opportunity.

"I hope that everyone made this decision carefully." Townsend waited for a moment before he spoke: "Of course, all this is not gratuitous, the basic crew can get a pound a month's salary, the sailors who do heavy work can get two pounds' salary, and the ability is particularly outstanding. ”

As soon as these words came out, the uneasiness and complaints on most people's faces disappeared in an instant.

One pound a month is already the income of a naval soldier, which is several times more than the average sailor, not to mention the opportunity to get rich suddenly brought by the game.

Seeing that the eyes of the crowd were renewed, Townsend turned his head to Tom and said, "Tell our friends to come up to deck, and so will the other ships, I need someone to organize the sailors to set sail and keep order on board." ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Tang, it's been arranged a long time ago."

Tom whistled upwards, and Townsend looked up to see a navyman in ordinary attire standing on the mast, and when he heard the message, he immediately waved the flag in his hand.

This is a flag language, which is rarely used by ordinary sailors, but as a naval soldier, it is basically a compulsory skill.

After all, there was no electronic communication in this era, and the instant communication between the fleets relied on flags, horns and lights in addition to shouting, so as to ensure that the flagship mobilized and commanded the sequence, speed, course, forward and backward, raised and lowered the sails, and anchored and moored, so as to maintain the distance between the ships, avoid collisions, and also report the results of wind direction and strength, sky measurement and star gazing.

Townsend turned his head to look at the other ships in the harbor, and sure enough, he found that on the mast of each ship he had bought, there was a navy on duty.

With the transmission of the flag, soon all the people on board the ships were gathered, explained the situation, and then, with the maintenance of the navy, began to prepare for the voyage in an orderly manner.

"Well done, Tom." Tang Sen patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction: "It's really helpful to have you by my side." ”

Tom was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tang, for the commendation." ”

"Without further ado, take fifty gold coins from your own funds, that's your reward."

With that, Townsend turned back to William Turner and said, "Mr. Turner, that these trivial matters are taken care of, I think we can have a good conversation about piracy." ”

William Turner took in all that had just happened and said, "I didn't expect... Mr. Tang actually bought so many boats, which is different from what I imagined before. ”

"I know, people think I'm just buying one boat, two or three at most, and then I'm going to leave the Caribbean under the protection of the Navy." Townsend smiled and shook his head, "That's not my style, Mr. Turner. ”

"I'm afraid Commodore Norrington won't agree to so many ships following him." William Turner whispered.

"I'm not a subordinate of Brigadier General Norrington, Mr. Turner."

Hearing this, William Turner was shocked, and only felt that this Mr. Tang seemed to be a little different since he boarded the ship.

Mr. Tang, who was in Port Royal before, was approachable and always showed a friendly face, but at this time, Mr. Tang was sharp and aggressive.

"Tom, take me to the captain's room." "From now on, I have to get used to life at sea. ”

"Mr. Turner, don't be stunned, we'll talk as we go."
