Chapter 72: Pirates

"Well, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes...... Pirate is an ancient profession that came into being, both ancient and modern! ”

Jiugong was not surprised, because since they returned from the ice field hike, he had adapted to Hong'er's leapfrogging thinking.

So he continued to say calmly......

According to historical records, "The Inuit (Eskimos) first arrived here in 3000 BC. ”

Later, on February 21, 1832, a national expeditionary expedition discovered Canglang Island and renamed it Greenland. The first colony was established on the southeast coast of the island in 1894 and declared exclusivity in 1921, but in 1979 the country allowed Greenlanders to govern themselves and passed the Greenland Self-Government Ordinance.

In fact, according to another version, the first discoverer of Greenland was a pirate named Red-faced Eric. He was deported after two consecutive killings at the time.

With no way out, he had to pack his family and everything into a canopyless boat, and with a glimmer of hope, he rowed westward......

After a rather strenuous voyage, he finally saw a piece of land.

At that time, the climate was at the optimal stage of the global small warm period, known as the "Medieval Warm Period", which made high-latitude regions like Greenland suitable for life.

The red-faced Eric lived there for three years and decided that it was a good piece of land, so he decided to go back to his hometown to recruit immigrants. To make the place sound more attractive, he came up with a catchy name called Greenland, which means "green earth".

Of course, it is quite possible that the summer in the southern coastal areas of Greenland at that time was really a verdant green. As a result, groups of immigrants crossed the sea with their possessions and livestock.

At its peak, Greenland had more than 280 settlements with a population of thousands, 17 churches, trade relations with other places, and the Pope even sent people to collect parish taxes.

However, 500 years later, around 1500 AD, the world climate fluctuated again and entered a period of Xiaoice...... The weather there became colder, and this once-thriving paradise gradually fell silent.

Therefore, in order to survive, such an ancient profession as "pirates" came into being, and later, whether in ancient times or modern times, it can no longer be completely eradicated......

The top 10 pirates in human history are the Blackbeard Pirates of the West, the female pirate Anne Bowley, the pirate prince Black Sam, the female pirate Zheng Shishi of the East, and the rest of the world Bartholomew Roberts, Captain Kidd, Henry Morgan, Cotton Jack, Francis Drake, and the Redbeard Brothers...... and more than a dozen pirates who are a little famous.

There have been pirates since there have been ships sailing the seas. Especially after the 16th century, when navigation was developed, pirates were found in coastal areas where commerce was developed.

History is like a mirror of parallel worlds, and it is like playing a game of chess with itself...... When you don't play according to the routine, the ending is ever-changing in an instant, but some endings are always amazing coincidences!

After learning about the history of "pirates", the hard work paid off, and their next itinerary was "said Cao Cao Cao to"......

I saw a large wooden sailboat with a skull flag suddenly appear in the "clairvoyance" lens of Kong Laoer, the leader of the Tiger team, who was on duty......

"Jiugong, Miss Hong'er, Lord Bian Xi, twenty nautical miles ahead, I found a suspicious ship, which was speeding towards our ship......"

"Oh?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, so Jiu Gong hurriedly beckoned Kong Lao Er to come down from the lookout post and explain the situation in detail......

"It's strange, in this era, there shouldn't be such a large pirate ship, not to mention that there are artillery configurations on both sides of the hull, could it be that they also crossed over and met us unexpectedly......"

Jiugong took the "clairvoyance" handed over by Kong Lao Er and stood at the bow of the ship, looked carefully at it with the camera for a while, and said to himself.

"Jiugong, don't worry, set up the table of eight immortals, entertain sixteen parties, all the guests who come, all by mouth, friends come with good wine, jackals come with shotguns...... The so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and our equipment is not vegetarian! ”

Boss Kong's remarks made everyone around him instantly respect him!

"Hey, don't you look at me like that, I won't be able to speak for a while?"

"Hehe, in fact, these words were taught to me by Lord Bian, Lord Bian, Lord Bian...... Save me? ”

"Hahaha......"

Everyone burst into laughter, and Hong'er even laughed backwards and backwards, unable to close her mouth.

Before the big battle, the slightly tense atmosphere just now was swept away by just the right amount of laughter......

So under the unified command of Bian Xi, everyone took their places, worked together, prepared their equipment for battle, and quietly waited for the arrival of the pirate ship!
