Chapter 336: "sea snake"

Seeing the male friendly portrait, he really didn’t know the pirate king, and Grid triumphantly explained: “This Pashalom Roberts was the most famous pirate king in the Caribbean at the beginning of the eighteenth century. Modern people did it to the pirates of the Caribbean. There has been a ranking and the title of the top ten pirate kings, and Basaromiu Roberts, nicknamed the "Black Baron", is among the top ten pirate kings."

   Clark McCann and three other bodyguards all nodded madly, kidding, now is the time for the boss's wife to give a speech. As loyal bodyguards, they are bound to support the boss's field.

   "This guy is an Englishman, to be exact, a Welshman..."

"I know Wales, I have been there..." He is very familiar with Wales. The three Picasso sketches he made were obtained from Fishgard Valdi Castle in Wales. Yang Jing, the capital of Wales, has also been to Cardiff. In Cardiff, he also met a serious cook fellow.

   "Stop talking!" Grid stared, as if he was very dissatisfied that her boyfriend interrupted her speech.

   Yang Jing spread his hands and motioned to his wife to continue speaking.

"Roberts did not start as a pirate, but worked on an armed slave ship in the UK. When this guy first debuted, because he wore a gorgeous black dress and jewellery all over his body, he didn't drink but he liked tea, and his language was elegant. , It's very stinky, so people gave him a nickname "Black Baron". He was still very satisfied with this nickname, and he didn't know that it was his partner's ridicule."

"Later, Roberts’ slave ship was robbed by the pirate Davis, but Roberts was fortunate not to be killed by Davis. In order to thank Davis for not killing, Roberts resolutely joined Davis’s pirate team. . And with his clever head, Roberts is highly regarded by Davis, and soon became a high-level figure in this pirate team. Unfortunately, Roberts has not joined Davis’s team for a month, Dai Wes was killed by the Portuguese in the port city of Trebaz, a port city controlled by the Portuguese."

"After Davis died, Roberts took over the pirate team left by Davis by virtue of his prestige. At this time, Roberts was only 37 years old. In order to avenge Davis, Roberts planned for a long time, and he took over this team. Half a year later, the pirates launched a surprise attack on the port of Trebaz."

"In that attack, because the Portuguese were not prepared at all, Roberts led his pirates to take down the Port of Trebaz, looting more than 150 merchant ships anchored in the port, and obtaining a large amount of His belongings and many good ships. With the help of this successful sneak attack, Barthalomei Roberts established his position as king in the Caribbean in one fell swoop."

"Roberts is not only cool-headed, but also very cold-blooded. He never left alive after he hijacked the ship. He not only looted merchant ships, but even the navy never let it go. His flagship'Royal Fortune' was snatched from the Port of Trebas. French warship. It is said that he looted hundreds of ships in his lifetime, and the number is even comparable to that of the legendary pirate king Henry Morgan. It is also one of the best in the entire history of pirates."

Grid looked at his dumbfounded boyfriend, smiled and continued: "These are not the most critical. The most critical is that Mr. Basaromiu Roberts, although he has only been a pirate king for four years, is in a war. He died in the pirates, but the pirates he led can extend to Brazil and even further west Africa and Newfoundland! This is absolutely unique among all recorded pirate kings, and no pirate king can compare Mr. Black Quasi-Baron controls a larger sea area! So if you say who reaches the seas in the extreme north, then other than Bartholomew Roberts, I am afraid that it is really impossible for others to do this."

   Yang Jing asked a little surprised: "Daughter-in-law, what kind of Basha do you mean, can you reach Newfoundland in that era?"

Clark McCann on the side nodded and said, "Boss, the lady boss is right. When Barshalom Roberts crossed the Atlantic, he did control the Newfoundland region. And he also has the ability to go to the extreme north. One point, a lot of friends I know have guessed this way. Even a few friends said that if Pashalomu Roberts did not die unexpectedly, then in terms of his ability, he could even control the entire Atlantic Ocean, perhaps even The Brits have nothing to do with him."

   After listening to these words, Yang Jing realized that he took it for granted.

Yes, in terms of human navigation technology in the early eighteenth century, the vast majority of people may not be able to reach the sea to the north, but if they have enough sailing strength and dare to work hard, plus luck, then This "Sea Snake" Mr. Boardman may not be able to get there.

   You know, the British W. Baffin reached Baffin Bay as early as 1616, which was a century earlier than the time when Boardman drew this nautical chart.

  Since the British could reach Baffin Bay so early, if Mr. Boardman worked hard enough, it would not be impossible to reach the waters further north. After all, the sea conditions in Baffin Bay are still good in summer. As for the Smith Strait and Robertson Strait further north, although they can only be navigable in the late summer, if you are lucky, there is no iceberg in the middle, then you can reach the extreme north through this waterway. The sea area is absolutely feasible in theory.

   After thinking about it, Yang Jing asked Clark McCann: "Clark, have you ever heard of this pirate who has the nickname "Sea Snake"?"

   Clark was taken aback, and after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Sorry boss, I haven't heard of this pirate. But why do you ask this person?"

Yang Jing pointed to the edge of the piece of nautical chart and said: "Look at here, there are some illegible handwritings. I just recognized them carefully. It seems to be the English Sea-serpent. This is not the sea snake's. Spelling it? So I guess that this nautical chart was drawn by this man eight out of ten."

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at the position pointed by Yang Jing. Sure enough, at the place where the second nautical chart and the third nautical chart were handed over, that is, the upper right corner of the entire nautical chart, there were a few vaguely. letter.

This line of letters happens to be where the two nautical charts are split. If it weren’t for today’s three incomplete nautical charts finally being pieced together into a complete nautical chart, no one would have imagined that these two separate letters actually represent One's nickname.

   It's just that, whether it's Grid or the Big Four bodyguards, it seems that they don't know who this "sea snake" is. Although Yang Jing knew that the real name of this "Sea Snake" was Bodman, but he knew that the name had an ass. What did this Mr. Bodman mean when he drew this nautical chart?

  Since I don’t know, don’t think about it now. Anyway, the nautical chart is already in hand. By then, it will be a big deal to follow the route on the nautical chart.

   When Yang Jing was about to put this map away, the phone rang, but when he picked it up, it was Lin Dan.

"Brother Yang, the matter is settled. You can come to the immigration office in Nicosia tomorrow and you will be able to get the Cyprus passport directly. However, the EU passport still needs to wait for half a year. But the Deputy Director of Papalocas Mr. said, if you can deposit 30 million U.S. dollars into the bank account designated by the Immigration Bureau, and the money is guaranteed not to be used within one year, he can let you get the EU within one month passport."

Yang Jing nodded slightly, but did not immediately agree to Lin Dan. Instead, he thought for a while and said: "Linzi, wait for us in Nicosia. We are all in Paphos now. We will leave after lunch. You will be able to reach Nicosia. You told Mr. Papalocas that I am preparing for an investment recently, which requires a lot of funds, and it is not convenient for the time being, so the EU passport can be obtained later."

   "Okay, I know what to do."

"Well, you can make an appointment with Mr. Papalocas for me, which means that I will invite him and his wife to dinner as a private person tonight. Well, I remember that Nicosia seems to have a two-Michelin star restaurant. , You will order a meal soon~www.wuxiaspot.com~No matter how much it costs, I want a table in that restaurant tomorrow night."

   "Don't worry, Brother Yang, I must take care of this for you. Brother Yang, if there is nothing wrong, I will go out and book a table."

Yang Jing nodded and was about to hang up. Suddenly he remembered "Sea Snake" Boardman, and asked casually: "Lin Zi, have you ever heard of a nickname that was rampant in the Caribbean Sea in the early 18th century called "Sea Snake" 'The pirate?"

"Early eighteenth century? Pirates of the Caribbean? Nicknamed'Sea Snake'?" Lin Dan muttered to himself on the phone. After a while, Lin Dan said, "Brother Yang, let alone, I seem to be true. I heard from there that there seems to be such a pirate nicknamed "Sea Snake". Wait for a while, I will go out to book a table, and then I will ask my classmates online, and he should be able to give me a definite answer."

   hung up the phone, Yang Jing and his group of six did not go out for dinner, so they had lunch at the hotel where they were staying. When he was almost finished eating, Yang Jing received a message from Lin Dan. The message was nothing but a link.

   Yang Jing clicked on this link and found that it was a forum named "Pirate House". There were a lot of people in it, and most of them were talking about pirate news.

Yang Jing entered the key words of "Sea Snake", "Early 18th Century", and "Bashalom Roberts" from the search bar of this forum, and then clicked on the search, and several items appeared on the phone page. For related posts, Yang Jing clicked on the first post and immediately showed a smile on his face...
