Save the Bachelor of Heaven
Chapter 4406 4408 [Royal Port]
"Everyone, take your positions, and prepare for battle!" Xiang Nan shouted when he saw this.
He had recognized the black ship as the Black Pearl. It was originally a merchant ship of the East India Company, named "The Wicked Maid".
Jack Sparrow was its captain. He was once employed by the East India Company and served Lord Beckett, who appeared in "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", and was highly regarded by him.
But the East India Company led by Beckett plundered property everywhere, sold slaves, and smuggled drugs, which was deeply hated by Captain Jack. He let the slaves he was ordered to transport run away, thus offending Beckett.
Beckett branded the letter "P" on his hand, which represents pirate, and set fire to and sank the Wicked Maid.
Later, Jack asked Davy Jones to cast a spell to fish out the Wicked Maid and renamed it "The Black Pearl". It was also agreed that after he served as captain for another thirteen years, he would serve on the Flying Dutchman for a hundred years.
But within two years of the Black Pearl being salvaged, Jack was driven off the ship by Barbossa's rebellion. Now the captain of the Black Pearl is Hector Barbossa.
His purpose in leading the Black Pearl is to rob the Aztec gold coin on Will Turner. Once this gold coin touches the sea water, it will release a signal to attract Barbossa's arrival.
...
Hearing Xiang Nan's order, the well-trained navy immediately began to act. The artillerymen prepared the cannons, loaded gunpowder, and prepared to aim. The spearmen also took the long guns, loaded gunpowder and lead bullets, and made preparations for aiming.
The atmosphere on the dreadnought suddenly became extremely tense, and the war was about to break out.
Governor Weatherby Swan was shocked. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a terrible thing when he took office happily. If the war really broke out, he and his daughter would be in danger.
Elizabeth was not afraid, but stood on the deck and watched with great interest. She was looking forward to seeing an exciting and fierce sea battle.
"Oh, Elizabeth, you can't stay here, go into the cabin and hide." Seeing this, Weatherby Swan immediately sent his daughter into the cabin, and pretended to be calm and came to Xiang Nan, "Captain, will everything be okay?"
"Don't worry, Governor, it will be okay." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
Although he heard him say this, Weatherby had no confidence at all.
But things turned out as Xiang Nan said.
The Black Pearl also discovered the Dreadnought battleship, but did not attack rashly, but raised the black sail and left the place directly.
Xiang Nan guessed that the reason they did this was that the tonnage and firepower of the Dreadnought were stronger than those of the Black Pearl. Once a real battle broke out, the crew of the Black Pearl could survive, but the Black Pearl might be severely damaged.
Second, the purpose of the Black Pearl attacking merchant ships was inspired by the Aztec gold coins. Once it touches the sea water, it will release a signal.
But as Will Turner was rescued and left the sea, they lost the signal. In this case, it was really unnecessary to fight with the British Navy again.
Therefore, the Black Pearl set sail and sailed away quickly.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Everyone, raise the sails and set sail at full speed." Xiang Nan immediately ordered.
Then, the Dreadnought also raised the sails and sailed away at full speed.
"Captain, you are really good." Governor Weatherby Swan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily.
Xiang Nan nodded.
Elizabeth looked through the glass of the cabin and saw Xiang Nan's commanding and high-spirited appearance, and she couldn't help but be moved.
...
The Dreadnought quickly sailed towards Port Royal.
Port Royal did exist in history. It is located on the island of Jamaica. It is a shipping center in the Caribbean Sea and is rich in sugar, rum and coffee.
It once belonged to Spain. In 1670, the Spanish Invincible Armada was defeated by Britain and was forced to cede Port Royal to Britain.
Two days later, the Dreadnought arrived at Port Royal smoothly.
During this period, Will Turner had basically recovered after being treated by the ship's doctor.
He also told the story of the merchant ship being attacked. It turned out that the merchant ship set sail from Scotland and came here to sell cloth and groceries. He also took this merchant ship to find his father.
But when they sailed to the Caribbean, they were looted by the Black Pearl. Although the merchant ship tried its best to resist, it could not withstand the bombardment of the Black Pearl.
In the end, everyone on the ship died, and the cargo was looted by the Black Pearl. Only he escaped by chance.
"Oh, poor child." Governor Weatherby Swan was very sad after hearing his story, "Captain, this child is British, we should help him, take him to Port Royal, and find a guardian for him."
Xiang Nan agreed with this.
Although he and Will Turner had a grudge over Will Turner's wife, he would not go so far as to attack a child.
However, in order to prevent Elizabeth from coming into contact with Will and having a secret crush on him, during the two-day journey, in addition to asking the ship's doctor to look after Will and letting him stay in the cabin to recuperate, he told Elizabeth stories.
He knew thousands of stories, such as "Treasure Island", "Alice in Wonderland", "The Adventures of Oz", "The Bride of the Vampire", etc.
Each story was bizarre and exciting, which made Elizabeth's eyes sparkle. She didn't even eat and pestered Xiang Nan to listen to stories.
"Captain, your story is so good. This is the first time I have heard such a good story." Elizabeth blinked her big eyes and smiled at Xiang Nan in surprise.
Norrington was responsible for escorting them from England to Jamaica. It took more than two months, and Norrington was always meticulous and serious, like a piece of ice that was difficult to approach.
She didn't have a good impression of this man, thinking he was too boring and stubborn. But in the past two days, her impression of him has improved greatly.
It turns out that Norrington is not only not an old-fashioned person who only knows rules and regulations, but he is also a talented writer, a graceful poet and a brave and fearless swordsman.
This made her feel a little moved by this man.
...
Governor Weatherby Swan also agreed with Elizabeth's good relationship with Xiang Nan.
On the one hand, although Weatherby is the governor of Royal Port, he has administrative power, judicial power, tax collection power, etc., and seems to be in power, but as the saying goes, power comes from the barrel of a gun, and the military power of Royal Port is controlled by Xiang Nan.
Therefore, he must get the protection and support of Xiang Nan to be able to sit firmly in the position of governor. Otherwise, without strong military support, his governorship is simply a joke, and the decree is estimated to not be able to leave the governor's office.
On the one hand, Weatherby has only one daughter, Elizabeth, who is twelve years old this year. Although she looks like a child, you have to know that girls grow up very quickly.
Parents should plan for their children in the long run. Xiang Nan is not only young, handsome, and talented, but also comes from a general family with a distinguished background. He is a very good candidate for a son-in-law, so he is also happy to see it happen.
