People in the heavens are as rich as the enemies of the country
Chapter 24 Order and Humanity
What does it look like to be extremely surprised?
Tang Sen saw with his own eyes that the thin middle-aged man was crying so hard that he was curled up on the ground, unable to say a word. Tang Sen was even worried that the other person would die like this.
In contrast, William Turner stood aside, his face full of stiffness and embarrassment. He didn't even have time to regret it, and what Tangson had just said kept echoing in his mind: "It's too reckless."
Indeed, if you think about it, how could a man who was known for his kindness and kindness, who had helped so many people at the Port Royal Pier, suddenly put his life as the price of the game? As the other party said, this is essentially a game for the brave.
It's not that I'm not brave, it's just that I haven't turned around.
"Sorry, Mr. Tang." William took a deep breath, with a bitter look on his face: "I misunderstood what you meant."
"It doesn't matter. In my opinion, the sense of justice is more precious than gold coins."
Tang Sen said: "Of course, I sincerely hope you think so too. After all, based on your performance, you should have been the final winner, but now, this gold coin has nothing to do with you."
After saying this, Tang Sen helped the middle-aged man up, patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Sir, please take away your wealth. I will ask two soldiers to escort you until you reach safety." The place."
"Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Tang." The middle-aged man was a little unsteady and rested on the gold coin box. "I don't know how to thank you. You saved my life. After I cure my illness, I will spend the rest of my life repaying you, Mr. Tang."
"You earned all this through your own efforts." Tang Sen smiled and said, "Live a good life. We should never see each other again in the future."
He straightened up, took a deep breath, and looked at the entire Port Royal again.
"Then my game is all over."
"Gentlemen and ladies who are still here, it is an honor to spend some time with you. I am about to embark on the next journey. If possible, I hope this time it will be forever."
The speech was unique, but it was Tang Sen’s true thoughts.
Although he has laid out a careful plan, life is always as moody as the sea, with frequent accidents. Tang Sen only hopes to leave this world forever within six months.
"Mr. Tang, are you leaving?" Miss Swan stepped forward. It was obvious that no soldiers would stop the eldest daughter of the governor's family. She asked seriously.
"Of course, Miss Swan, let me express my gratitude to Mr. Swan for his hospitality these days." Tang Sen nodded.
Miss Swan pursed her lips and turned to look at Mr. Turner.
"Will, there's something I want to tell you."
William Turner's self-reflection was interrupted by Miss Swan, who replied: "Miss Swan, please speak."
Miss Swan was obviously hesitant. After thinking for a while, she said, "Mr. Tang, can we talk in another place?"
"Of course, I think I still have some time." Tang Sen looked at the military dock and smiled.
Tang Sen immediately made the final arrangements, and then the three of them walked to a quiet part of the square.
"Miss Swan, what on earth is so mysterious?" William Turner asked.
Miss Swan looked around, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "Will, I'm sorry, I lost your things."
"My things?" William Turner showed a confused expression: "Are you talking about the theft last night? I don't remember anything I have at your place."
Seeing Miss Swan's uneasy expression, he comforted: "Even if there is, it doesn't matter. I will never blame Miss Swan."
"No, that's not important." Miss Swan tilted her head, not daring to look into William Turner's eyes: "I had a dream last night, Will. I dreamed about you."
"Dreaming about our first meeting."
William Turner showed a nostalgic smile: "Miss Swan, I will always remember it in my heart. It was you who saved my life."
"No, there are some things I have never told you." Miss Swan said: "In the dream, I remembered that you were wearing a necklace with gold coins hanging on it."
"That's pirate gold."
"In order to prevent others from mistaking you for being a pirate and executing you, I took the gold coin away. However, when I thought about it today, the gold coin was stolen."
William Turner listened to her words and was silent for a moment, then recalled it and said: "I thought that gold coin had sunk into the sea with the shipwreck."
He still said with relief: "It doesn't matter, it's just one gold coin. I missed five hundred gold coins today."
"Will." Miss Swan emphasized: "You know what I'm talking about, that's a pirate gold coin!"
"Do you remember what Mr. Tang said? He knew a man with the same name as your father, who was a pirate——"
"Elizabeth, my father cannot be a pirate." William Turner said categorically: "That pirate gold coin is just a souvenir sent to me by my father."
Miss Swan opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
Townsend stood aside and listened to their conversation, and finally said: "What a regrettable topic, Mr. Turner. I think nothing in the world is absolute."
"I encountered something today that I think may interest you."
He talked eloquently: "I believe you have also noticed that the citizens of Port Royal helped me catch a pirate."
"Yes, that sissy." William Turner said: "I noticed him, but it's a pity that I couldn't leave the box at that time, otherwise I should be the one who caught him."
"During subsequent interrogation, he claimed to be a pirate captain."
Townsend paused: "Black Pearl."
The two people's expressions suddenly changed.
"The legendary fastest pirate ship on the sea?" William Turner said: "Those are just rumors among pirates. This ship does not exist at all, let alone a legendary pirate ship. Captain, why did you come to Port Royal and be captured by a group of women and children?"
"No, it exists." Miss Swan said solemnly: "I have seen her, the Black Pearl."
"The day I met her happened to be the day I met you, Will."
William Turner's expression froze.
"Oh, I don't know about this, but it would be even stranger if the Black Pearl and Mr. Turner appeared at the same time that day."
Tang Sen ended her topic and said: "The pirate captain claimed that ten years ago, his crew betrayed him for the treasure of the Island of Death, and on the Island of Death, there were Aztec gold coins-a kind of Gold coins with skulls engraved on them.”
Miss Swan exclaimed.
"What's even more strange is that he said that among the mutinous crew members at that time, there was a pirate named William Turner, and everyone called him the King of Laces." Tang Sen spread his hands: "I have always been dubious about the pirates' words, and The William Turner I knew was not a crew member of the Black Pearl, so I didn’t take his words to heart.”
"It wasn't until Miss Swan mentioned it that I thought maybe Mr Turner should know about it."
"That must be Will's father!" Miss Swan said with certainty: "Will, there can't be such a coincidence in the world. The day you were shipwrecked, the Black Pearl was wandering nearby. They... Came here for you!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
William Turner waved his arms irritably: "A pirate's nonsense proves nothing at all."
"That's right." Tang Sen nodded with a smile, looked at the sky, and said, "In that case, it's time for me to set off."
Without any hesitation, he turned around and waved: "Goodbye, Mr. Turner, Miss Swan."
"Mr. Tang -" Miss Swan subconsciously yelled, but looking at William Turner, she realized that she had no position or reason to continue speaking.
Back on the pier, the middle-aged people had already left with the gold coins under the escort of the soldiers. There was no excitement to see. Most of the people in Port Royal had dispersed, leaving only a few who were unwilling to stay in place. , seeing Tang Sen coming back, they immediately swarmed around, trying to find more opportunities to make money.
Tang Sen naturally ignored them and came to the port where the ship was boarding. Warrant Officer Tom had already been waiting here. He came over and whispered: "Mr. Tang, everything has been arranged."
"Of the 328 soldiers left behind at Port Royal, a total of 252 are willing to go out to sea with the ship. They all put on ordinary clothes and boarded the ship. I have arranged them on each ship according to the size of the ship."
"Ordnance was also quietly transported in along with the supplies, but they were all flintlock guns. The cannons were too eye-catching and could easily reveal their secrets."
"I noticed it just now." Tang Sen nodded: "You did a good job."
It is naturally not an easy task to get soldiers of the Royal Navy to follow you out to sea against the rules, but with the help of money, it is not too difficult.
If a trip to sea could earn ten years' salary, I believe anyone would hesitate.
In addition, Tang Sen had started the layout a few days ago and patiently got to know every soldier who received his gift. He had already established a good image in the hearts of the soldiers, so when Brigadier General Norrington decided to let When these soldiers who had tasted the sweetness stayed at Port Royal, Tang Sen came to the door without hesitation.
Incited by one or two advance pushers, the soldiers happily accepted Townsend's proposal.
After all, with so many people working together, even Brigadier General Norrington might not be able to hold everyone accountable.
The saying that the law does not punish everyone has its place in any era.
"Don't worry about the cannons. Even if they are shipped, they still need to be modified to be used on merchant ships. I don't have that much time." Tang Sen said softly: "I never thought that these merchant ships could bring combat effectiveness comparable to warships. What I want is quantity, a sense of oppression.”
"The most important thing is the Interceptor and Intrepid. When it comes time to sail, we need to take the cruise route into our own hands."
"I believe Mr. Tang already has a plan in mind, right?" Tom looked at Tang Sen with admiration.
After this series of events, Warrant Officer Tom admired Townsend so much that he became more and more convinced that he had made a wise choice to follow Townsend.
"At this point, there is no need for any sophisticated plans." Townsend smiled: "Comodore Norrington is indeed not an easy person to deal with. Above Port Royal, he can be said to have the overall power. No one can resist He, even the governor, is inferior to him.”
"In my opinion, Mr. Tang is far more powerful than Norrington." Tom praised: "I am very curious about what the commodore's expression will be when he finds out how huge the fleet that follows him is."
"I'm just rich enough." Tang Sen did not accept the other party's flattery and looked back at Port Royal.
"In Port Royal, Mr. Norrington represents order, which was established by England's hundreds of years of hard work. Dozens of merchant ships and a group of untrained ordinary people cannot shake this solid order."
It was this order that allowed me to survive the early stages safely, climb on top of it, and grow vigorously.
"But the sea is different, Tom."
The sea is a realm where the weak prey on the strong.
There, identity, money, appearance, these things that are indispensable in the world of order, are sheathed, and only force can be unsheathed, bright and ferocious.
"Obviously, Mr. Norrington will not realize that the moment he sets sail, his weapon will be locked in the case, while my sword is already ready for use."
The two lowered the boat, and Tom slid his oars and slowly sailed away from the dock.
People who had been waiting on the ships in the port for a long time crowded on the deck and cheered suddenly.
Their eyes widened, and they kept praying in their hearts that this generous Easterner would board their ship.
"Slow down, Tom."
Tang Sen listened to the cheers from all around and said, "I still have guests who haven't boarded the ship yet. We have to give him some time."
"guest?"
Tom tilted his head in confusion and did not ask any sudden questions. He obeyed the order and let the current push the boat slowly away from Port Royal.
Every time a merchant ship passed by, there would be bursts of disappointed sighs.
"They thought they had lost their chance," laughed Tom.
"Surprises after disappointment are more deeply rooted in people's hearts, aren't they?" Tang Sen looked back and slightly raised the corners of his mouth: "Oh, it seems our guest has already thought it through."
I saw a small boat rowing quickly towards Tang Sen. Mr. Turner on the boat had an expression of no hesitation.
"That Mr. Turner?" Tom asked in surprise: "Does Mr. Tang want to recruit him? Just ask him directly beforehand. I don't think anyone can refuse Mr. Tang's solicitation."
Tang Sen smiled and said nothing.
It is true that you can use money to attract William Turner to your side, but the relationship brought by money is never strong, especially for a person like Mr. Turner.
The same goes for Jack Sparrow.
Tang Sen needs to ensure 100% control over these people who play a key role in his plan to avoid any surprises in the plan.
Of course, Townsend could also choose to tell Mr. Turner directly about his father's situation and simply and rudely ask him to follow him. However, based on his understanding of Mr. Turner, he chose to spend more effort and show up in front of Mr. Turner again and again. When he mentioned his father, he never used definite words, but only subtly changed his mind.
Because people will always believe in the decisions they make through independent thinking and stick to them unswervingly, but they will always be somewhat suspicious of the stories that others roughly instill.
Mr. Turner would not know that his so-called independent thinking decision came from Tang Sen's induction, and he would only be grateful for Tang Sen's willingness to help him.
"That's human nature."
Still two in one, four thousand words.
The plot of Port Royal ends, and then enters the chapter belonging to the sea.
There should be a lot of interesting plots.
