The Ultimate Live Superstar
Section 463
A civilian ship captain hailed as a hero in the Ying Kingdom is often the most wanted pirate leader in Spain...
Very funny.
"Fuck, that's awesome!"
"233333333"
"I feel like my intelligence has been insulted!"
"interesting!"
"Capital is everything!"
"Yes, as long as your stance is correct, who cares whether you are an official or a thief?"
Then, Lu Yu also smiled and continued:
"For this reason, armed civilian ships were also nicknamed the 'school of pirates' at the time. Many famous pirate captains came out of armed civilian ships, and Thomas Tew was one of them."
"In 1692, he became a shareholder in the 70-ton clipper ship "Friendship", and by bribing officials, he obtained a civilian ship commission authorizing him to attack a Chinese maritime trading station in Africa. Thomas Tew fully agreed against his will. , but I have other plans in mind.”
"As soon as the ship left port, he announced to the crew his plan to make a fortune in the East and gained support. Everyone knew that once successful, they would not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives."
"Of course, if you fail, you will die without a burial place. The Friendship set sail eastward and headed towards the Indian Ocean along the route of Vasco da Gama. As a result, it encountered a Mughal Emperor as soon as it sailed to the mouth of the Red Sea. Treasure Ship, you can imagine how excited Thomas was at that time, and he might have even peeed a few drops."
"So, after this guy drank a large glass of rum, he shouted, 'This is your chance to make a fortune, guys,' and immediately jumped onto the enemy ship first."
At that time, 60 sailors armed with muskets and brandishing sabers followed behind him.
After some fighting.
They subdued 300 Indian soldiers and successfully captured their first prey.
When they broke open the treasure chest, their eyes widened in surprise.
What appeared in front of him were tons of jewelry and diamonds. A whole box of gold bars was more than what he could get from robbing ten Faguo merchant ships.
Thomas knew he had come to the right place.
At this point, the "Friendship", which had only 8 guns, began its crazy journey of 22,000 nautical miles.
I am becoming more and more courageous.
They even kidnapped a feudal lord and extorted several cartloads of ivory and spices.
When the "Friendship" returned to Rhode Island in April 1694, the gold and silver items it brought back were worth 100,000 pounds!
What was the concept of one hundred thousand pounds at that time?
The purchasing power is quite amazing.
Definitely a huge fortune!
"After returning to China, even the trainee sailors on the ship received 1,200 pounds from Thomas Tew. As a result, the unknown Thomas became a well-known figure overnight."
"Young people quit their jobs one after another and came to the ship to ask to join the gang. Celebrities including the Governor of Ying Kingdom also frequently sent invitations to banquets to this big pirate..."
In the live broadcast room.
When the audience heard this, they all expressed:
"A bit of a show!"
"Celebrities don't tell secret stories, I want to join them!"
"666, is this okay?"
"How about becoming famous in one battle?"
"Those who want to join the gang can now apply for jobs in Somalia!"
"Ha ha!"
Thomas diagram behavior.
Shocked many people.
But the ones who were most shocked were the fellow pirates.
From the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean Sea, from Port San Marino to New Province.
Both of these are pirate ports developed and operated by pirates.
It was called the "pirate's paradise" at the time.
"From that day on, the news that 'there is treasure in the east and Thomas has succeeded' was spread everywhere. Since then, the 'western battlefield' created by Drake is no longer the only choice for pirates, and more people have begun to pay attention to the 'eastern battlefield' wealth'."
"It was also from this day that the days of endless complaints by the Moguls and the East India Company quietly began."

After the "Eastern Battlefield" was opened.
Almost all pirates have extended their claws to the Red Sea.
It was from that period that the pilgrim treasure ships of the Mughal Empire were often plundered by pirates.
The front foot had just seen off the Spanish pirates and the British warships, and then came one after another.
No matter how wealthy you are, you can't stand this kind of war.
Without any choice.
The Mughal king at that time had to put pressure on Europe.
But actually.
This approach is of no use.
Piracy.
Still repeatedly banned.
Extremely rampant.
Until Avery came out of nowhere.
Created a world-famous shocking robbery.
After really irritating the Mughal Empire, some small pirates restrained themselves.
…
These stories told by Lu Yu.
There are relevant records in Thomas Tew's logbook.
First half of the log.
He also described in detail all his criminal acts and the voyage route he took before he was 40 years old.
Among them, there is a paragraph about their sinking of the merchant ship of Faguo.
The tone was very arrogant.
Just looking at these words, I can perfectly imagine the attitude of this guy who was stunned when he wrote this diary.
"16××, 4×1××, sunny..."
"As the greatest sailor of this century, I will never let these bitch-born Frenchmen pollute this holy sea. As long as they hand over the rum, women, and spices, I can warn my brothers to let them die quickly, otherwise, go to God to repent!"
"Fuck!"
This god-level thief who has been famous for a long time and has a more far-reaching influence than Avery.
He is conceited all his life.
He acts rudely.
He is self-centered.
He cannot listen to anyone's advice.
He is extremely barbaric.
The gentleman's suit on the oil painting is just an illusion created by the painter under his violence.
"What do you think, brothers?"
"Don't look at this guy in the painting. He looks like a gentleman."
"But in fact, he is much more barbaric than you think. Even today, he is definitely a tough guy."
I have read the first half of the log.
The following content is a bit interesting.
This part of the content describes in great detail the entire process of Avery and others building the "Pirate Kingdom"!
Time.
Place.
Even Avery's call for recruitment is clearly described above.
Seeing this, Lu Yu immediately became interested and excitedly said to the camera:
"Friends, I have to say that keeping a diary is a good habit."
"The 'great' Thomas Tu, while showing us his literary talent, inadvertently left us a lot of precious historical materials..."
"This guy actually left it and Avery's shameless behavior in the logbook with great fanfare."
The content of the log is very rich.
Although Lu Yu's English level is not good, he can also read the general idea.
"... Henry found me and told me all his ideas. I have to say, this guy is really interesting. I am willing to contribute to 'Libertalia', but the premise is that I have to get some benefits from it. Yes, that's right..."
"The weather in the South Pacific is very bad, but this is undoubtedly a resort. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can clearly see the ocean in the distance and our thriving city. The spring water in the temple is sweet and delicious. My rum seems to be a little more delicious..."
It turns out that the so-called pirate country is called Libotalia.
The location is in Olidia.
