Seeing that her boyfriend really didn't know the pirate king, gege explained proudly: "This Bartholomew Roberts was the most famous pirate king in the Caribbean in the early 18th century. Modern people once ranked the Pirates of the Caribbean in that year, and listed the titles of the top ten pirate kings. Bartholomew Roberts, nicknamed 'black Baron', was among the top ten pirate kings."
Clark McCann and three other bodyguards nodded wildly. They were joking. It was time for the landlady to give a speech. As loyal bodyguards, they must praise the landlady.
"This guy is an Englishman, exactly Welsh..."
"I know Wales, I've been there..." he is very familiar with Wales. The three Picasso sketches that made his fortune were obtained from fishgardwaldi castle in Wales, and Yang Jing, the capital of Wales, has also been to Cardiff. In Cardiff, he also met a serious cook fellow.
"Hold your tongue!" Ge Ge stared, as if she was very dissatisfied with her boyfriend interrupting her speech.
Yang Jing spread her hands and motioned to her wife to continue.
"Roberts didn't start out as a pirate, but worked on an armed slave ship in Britain. When he first made his debut, people gave him the nickname 'black Baron' because he liked to wear gorgeous black dresses and jewelry, didn't drink and liked tea, his language was elegant and very smelly, so he was very satisfied with the nickname and didn't know it was his partner I laughed at him. "
"Later, Roberts' slave ship was robbed by Davis, but Roberts was lucky not to be killed by Davis. In order to thank Davis for not killing, Roberts resolutely joined Davis' pirate team. Moreover, with his smart head, Roberts was highly valued by Davis and soon became a senior figure in this pirate team. Unfortunately, Luo Less than a month after borz joined Davis, Davis was killed by the Portuguese in the Portuguese controlled port city of trebras. "
"After Davis died, Roberts took over the pirate team left by Davis with prestige. At this time, Roberts was only 37 years old. In order to avenge Davis, Roberts planned for a long time, and launched a sudden attack on the port of trebras six months after he took over the pirate team."
"In that attack, because the Portuguese were not prepared at all, Roberts led his pirates to take the port of trebras, ransacked more than 150 merchant ships moored in the port, and obtained a lot of property and many good ships. With the help of this successful sneak attack, bassalome Roberts established his king in the Caribbean sea at one fell swoop Status. "
"Roberts is not only cool headed, but also very cold-blooded. He never leaves a living after hijacking ships. He not only plundered merchant ships, but also the Navy. His flagship 'Royal Fortune' is a French warship robbed from the port of trebras. It is said that he plundered hundreds of ships in his life, which is even comparable to the legendary Pirate King Henry Morgan, and is also one of the largest in the whole history of piracy One of the best. "
Ge Ge looked at her stunned boyfriend, smiled and continued: "These are not the most important. The most important thing is that although Mr. bashalomew Roberts died in a war after only four years as a pirate king, the region of Pirates he led can extend to Brazil and even further west Africa and Newfoundland to the North! This is absolutely unique among all recorded pirate kings, and there is no sea The pirate king can control more waters than the black Baron! So if you say who reaches the waters of the far north, I'm afraid no one else can do it except bashalomew Roberts. "
Yang Jing was surprised and asked, "daughter-in-law, what kind of guy you said, Basha, could reach Newfoundland in that era?"
Clark McCann nodded and said: "Boss, the boss's wife is right. Bartholomew Roberts did control Newfoundland when he crossed the Atlantic Ocean. Moreover, he also had the ability to go to the far north sea. Many friends I know once guessed this. Even several friends said that if Bartholomew Roberts didn't die unexpectedly, he would even die in terms of his ability If you can control the whole Atlantic, maybe even the British can't take him. "
After hearing these words, Yang Jing realized that she took it for granted.
Yes, in terms of human navigation technology in the early 18th century, the vast majority of people may not be able to reach the North Sea area, but if they have enough navigation strength, dare to work hard, and have better luck, Mr. Bodman, the "sea snake", may not be able to reach there.
You know, as early as 1616, the Englishman W. Baffin arrived at Baffin Bay, which was a century earlier than Bodman's drawing this nautical chart.
Since the British can reach Baffin Bay so early, if Mr. Bodman works hard enough, it is not impossible to reach the waters further north. After all, the sea condition of Baffin Bay is still good in summer. As for the Smith Strait and Robertson Strait further north, although they can only be navigable at the end of summer, if you are lucky and you can't meet an iceberg in the middle, you can pass through it In theory, it is absolutely feasible for this waterway to reach the Far North Sea area.
After thinking about it, Yang Jing asked Clark McCann, "Clark, have you ever heard of the pirate with the nickname of 'sea snake'?"
Clark was stunned. After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "sorry, boss, I really haven't heard of this pirate. But how do you ask about this man?"
Yang Jing pointed to the most marginal position of the assembled nautical chart and said, "look here. There are some fuzzy handwriting here. I just identified it carefully. It seems to be the English sea serpent. Isn't this the spelling of the sea snake? So I estimate that this person painted eight or nine out of ten nautical charts."
When they heard the speech, they all looked at the position pointed by Yang Jing. Sure enough, there were a few letters at the junction of the second chart and the third chart, that is, at the upper right corner of the whole chart.
The advantage of this line of letters lies in the split position of the two nautical charts. If today's three incomplete nautical charts had not finally been pieced together into a complete nautical chart, no one would have thought that these two separate letters would represent a person's nickname.
However, neither Ge Ge nor the four bodyguards seem to know who the "sea snake" is. Although Yang Jing knows that the real name of the "sea snake" is Bodman, it's useless just to know the name. What does Mr. Bodman mean by drawing this nautical chart?
Since you don't know, don't think about it now. Anyway, the nautical chart has been obtained. It's a big deal to follow the route on the nautical chart at that time.
Yang Jing was about to put the map away when her mobile phone rang. When she picked it up, it was Lin Dan.
"Brother Yang, the matter is done. You can come to the immigration office in Nicosia tomorrow and get the Cyprus passport directly. However, the EU passport still needs to wait for half a year. However, the Deputy Director General Mr. papalucas said that if you can deposit US $30 million into the bank account designated by the immigration office, and the money is guaranteed to remain unchanged within one year If so, he can let you get your EU passport within a month. "
Yang Jing nodded slightly, but did not immediately promise Lin Dan, but thought for a moment and said: "Linzi, please wait for us in Nicosia. We are all in Paphos now. We will leave after lunch and arrive in Nicosia in the afternoon. You said to Mr. papalokas that I am preparing an investment recently and need a lot of funds. It is not convenient for me at the moment, so I can get the EU passport later."
"OK, I see what to do."
"Well, you can make an appointment for me with Mr. papalucas and say that I will treat him and his wife to dinner in my personal capacity tomorrow night. Well, I remember that there seems to be a Michelin two-star restaurant in Nicosia. You can book a meal later. No matter how much it costs, I want a table in that restaurant tomorrow night."
"Don't worry, brother Yang. I'll do it for you. Brother Yang, if there's nothing wrong, I'll go out and book a table."
Yang Jing nodded and was about to hang up. Suddenly she remembered Bodman, the "sea snake", and asked casually, "Linzi, have you ever heard of a pirate nicknamed" sea snake "who roamed the Caribbean Sea in the early 18th century?"
"In the early 18th century, Pirates of the Caribbean were nicknamed 'sea snakes'?" Lin Dan murmured on the phone. After a while, Lin Dan said: "Brother Yang, don't mention it yet. I seem to have heard of such a pirate nicknamed 'sea snake' from there. Wait for me for a moment. I'll go out and book a table first. I'll ask my classmates online later. He should be able to give me a definite answer."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Jing and his party of six didn't go out for dinner. They had lunch in the hotel where they stayed. When they were almost finished, Yang Jing received a message from Lin Dan. There was nothing else but a link.
Yang Jing opened this link and found that it was a forum called "pirate house". There were a lot of people in it. Most of them talked about some pirate news.
Yang Jing input the key words "sea snake", "the beginning of the 18th century" and "Bartholomew Roberts" from the search bar of the forum, and then click the search. Several related posts immediately appeared on the mobile phone page. Yang Jing clicked the first post and smiled immediately
