Save the Bachelor of Heaven

"I heard that the East India Company's headquarters was robbed and lost a huge sum of one million pounds. Therefore, the newly appointed director, Calvert Beckett, took such radical measures to make up for the huge deficit." Xiang Nan said.

"Becket?!" Weatherby was stunned, then nodded, "I know this person. He was the director of the East India Company in Africa before. I met him several times and had a good impression of him.

It is said that under his management, the East India Company's profits in Africa have an annual growth rate of more than 25%, so he is very popular with the top leaders of the East India Company.

I just didn't expect that after he became a top leader, he would be so cruel and collect such high tariffs. He is simply going to kill anyone."

"No doubt, he is going to kill us." Xiang Nan sighed, "As a soldier, I would rather be in a war with the enemy. In wartime, I don't want to wield the butcher's knife against my own people. "

"Me too." Weatherby nodded, "but what can we do? If we don't do it, I believe he has ten thousand ways to deal with us."

"You are right." Xiang Nan nodded, "but I don't think he will always get what he wants. The harder the spring is compressed, the greater the rebound force."

"I understand this principle." Weatherby said worriedly, "I hope there will be no trouble in Royal Port. I want to work hard for a few more years."

He also understands the principle that officials force the people to rebel. Britain had already had two revolutions before.

One was the revolution led by Cromwell, who even hanged King Charles I; the other was the Glorious Revolution, in which the bourgeoisie and the new aristocracy overthrew the rule of King James II and let his daughter Mary II and son-in-law William III succeed him.

Even the king was driven out by angry subjects, so what else could he, the governor, have? If the more than 50,000 townspeople in Port Royal really rebel, can Xiang Nan really suppress them with the more than 200 soldiers in his hands?

At that time, once he was driven out, it would be all over. He hasn't earned enough money for retirement, and he hasn't married Elizabeth yet.

And the consequences of losing Port Royal are also something he can't afford. Even if he can escape back to England, he will become a clown in the upper class, laughed at and despised by people.

So he really hopes to be safe.

"Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, he already had an idea.

He wanted to take advantage of the situation, not only to make Beckett look bad, but also to use this incident to help himself.

...

Then, Xiang Nan asked the priests of the goddess of the sea to spread Beckett's atrocities everywhere, and said that as long as the believers prayed devoutly, the goddess of the sea would teach the arrogant Beckett and the East India Company a lesson.

Since its establishment in 1600, the East India Company has done more good things than good things. After Becket came to power, the law of increasing taxes promulgated by him also made the colonies miserable.

Many merchants and people complained about this, so when they heard the sea goddess's sacrifice to promote Becket's atrocities, they naturally supported it very much and became more and more angry.

When they heard that as long as they prayed devoutly, the sea goddess would respond to their call and punish the evil, arrogant and arrogant East India Company and Cutler Beckett, they all came to the temple to pray.

Then Xiang Nan began to take action, carrying the Sword of Cottles and the Trident of Poseidon inlaid with the Heart of the Ocean, attacking the merchant ships, warships and ports of the East India Company everywhere.

He set off strong winds and huge waves, overturned merchant ships and warships, and summoned huge waves to destroy the ports. In a few days, the East India Company suffered a major blow in the Caribbean Sea.

Many merchant ships and warships sank, and many ports were washed away by huge waves. It would cost a lot of money to repurchase merchant ships, build warships, and rebuild ports.

And before these merchant ships, warships, and ports were destroyed, the sailors, soldiers on the ships, and the people in the ports heard a loud and majestic voice, "In the name of the sea goddess Colibuso, punish Beckett and the East India Company~"

Seeing this, the people were naturally surprised.

Unexpectedly, the sea goddess Colibuso really punished Beckett and the East India Company. For a time, the people's worship of Colibuso became more pious.

The temple was crowded with believers who came to worship.

...

But Beckett and the East India Company were extremely angry when they received the news.

They didn't expect that the sea goddess Colibuso would actually care about such things. This had never happened before.

Because gods rarely interfere in mortal affairs, even the Aztec Empire and the Mayan Empire, which believed in the feathered serpent, were destroyed by Spanish colonists, and their gods did not stop it.

Since its establishment in 1600, the East India Company has committed many evils in Africa, Australia, America, and Asia. Many tribes and city-states were uprooted by them, and many people were turned into slaves by them.

But more than a hundred years have passed, and the gods worshipped by those tribes, city-states, and believers have not punished the East India Company.

Not only did the East India Company not perish, but it grew stronger and stronger.

Therefore, although the top leaders of the East India knew that there were true gods and mysteries in this world, due to the inaction of these true gods, they had long lost their awe of God.

It is for this reason that when the goddess of the sea, Calypso, retaliated against Beckett and the East India Company, their first reaction was anger.

Just like in "The True Story of Ah Q", Ah Q often bullied Xiao D, and when Xiao D learned to resist, Ah Q's first reaction was to get angry.

So Beckett and the East India Company ordered to ban the belief in the sea goddess Calypso in all British colonies. The goddess' temple was destroyed, the goddess' priests were arrested, and many of the believers were also arrested, ready to be killed as a warning to the rest.

Therefore, the belief in the sea goddess was once affected.

"Why did you make such a big mess?" Calypso asked Xiang Nan.

"It's normal. The more setbacks, the purer the faith." Xiang Nan smiled, "When Christianity first spread, even Jesus and the twelve disciples were basically martyred. As a result, it is now the religion with the most believers in the world."

"You have a point." Calypso nodded, "If it is true as you said, I will reward you well."

"Thank you, it's a deal, then I'll wait." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.

Then, he launched a second attack on Beckett and the East India Company.

This time he was no longer limited to the Caribbean Sea, but from America to Australia, from Asia to Africa, from colonies to the mainland, all merchant ships, warships, ports, and factories under the East India Company were attacked.

Merchant ships capsized, warships sank, ports were damaged, factories collapsed... Before each attack, Xiang Nan would use a "loud voice" to declare war on Beckett and the East India Company.

"Rebuild the temple, release priests and believers, stop exploiting the colonies... Otherwise, you will taste the wrath of the sea goddess Calypso..."
