Happy Tycoon

Seeing that her boyfriend really didn’t know about this pirate king, Gege explained triumphantly: “This Bartholomew Roberts was the most famous pirate king in the Caribbean in the early 18th century. A ranking has been made, and the titles of the top ten pirate kings have been listed, and Bartholomew Roberts, nicknamed 'Black Baron', is among the top ten pirate kings.

Clarke McCann and the other three bodyguards on the side nodded wildly, just kidding, now is the time for the proprietress to give a speech, as loyal bodyguards, they must praise the proprietress.

The guy is an Englishman, Welsh to be exact

I know Wales, I've been to it. Wales is very familiar to him. The three Picasso sketches that made his fortune were obtained in Fishgard Vardy Castle in Wales, and the capital of Wales, Cardiff Yang Jing has also been there, and he also met a serious fellow chef in Cardiff.

Speak! Grid stared, as if dissatisfied with her boyfriend interrupting her speech.

Yang Jing spread his hands, motioning for his wife to continue talking.

Roberts didn't start out as a pirate, but on an armed slave ship in England. When this guy first debuted, because he liked to wear gorgeous black dresses and jewels all over his body, he liked tea instead of alcohol, and his language was elegant. , very smug, so people gave him the nickname 'Black Baronet', and he was very satisfied with this nickname, unaware that it was a mockery from his companions.

Later Roberts's slave ship was robbed by the pirate Davis, but Roberts was lucky not to be killed by Davis. In order to thank Davis for not killing him, Roberts resolutely joined Davis's pirate team And with his smart mind, Roberts was highly valued by Davis, and soon became a high-level figure in the pirate team. Unfortunately, Roberts has not joined Davis' team for a month. Weiss was killed by the Portuguese in the port city of Trebazi, which was controlled by the Portuguese.

After Davis died, Roberts took over the pirate team left by Davis with his prestige. At this time, Roberts was only 37 years old. In order to avenge Davis, Roberts planned for a long time, and after he took over the team After half a year of the pirate team, a surprise attack was launched on the port of Teresa.

During that attack, because the Portuguese were not prepared at all, Roberts led his pirates to take down the port of Trebazi in one go, ransacked more than 150 merchant ships moored in the port, and obtained a large number of property and a lot of good ships. With the help of this successful sneak attack, Basha Luo Miao Roberts has established his king status in the Caribbean Sea in one fell swoop.

Roberts is not only cool-headed, but also very cold-blooded. He never left alive after robbing a ship. He not only plundered merchant ships, but also the navy. His flagship 'Royal Fortune' was snatched from the port of Trebazi French warships. It is said that he plundered hundreds of ships in his lifetime, the number is even comparable to the legendary pirate king Henry Morgan, and he is also one of the best in the entire history of piracy.

Grid looked at the stunned boyfriend, smiled and continued: These are not the most important, the most important thing is that Mr. Basha Luo Miao Roberts, although he has only been the Pirate King for four years, he was in a war But the pirates he led ran rampant in Brazil and even farther to West Africa and Newfoundland in the north! This is absolutely unique among all recorded pirate kings, and no pirate king can compare The sea area controlled by the black quasi-baron is even bigger! So, if you say who has reached the sea area in the extreme north, then apart from Bartholomew Roberts, I am afraid that no one else can do it.

Yang Jing was a little surprised and asked: Daughter-in-law, what kind of Basha are you talking about, could he reach the Newfoundland area at that time?

Clark McCann on the side nodded and said: Boss, the lady boss is right. Bartholomew Roberts did control the Newfoundland region when he crossed the Atlantic Ocean. And he also has the ability to go to the extreme northern seas. One point, many of my friends used to speculate like this. Some friends even said that if Bartholomew Roberts did not die unexpectedly, then in terms of his ability, he could even control the entire Atlantic Ocean, maybe even There's nothing the Brits can do about him.

After hearing these words, Yang Jing realized that he had taken it for granted.

That's right, in terms of human navigation technology in the early 18th century, most people may not be able to reach such a northern sea area, but if they have enough navigation skills, dare to work hard, and if they are lucky, then Mr. Sea Serpent Boardman may not be able to get there.

You know, as early as 1616, the British W. Baffin arrived at Baffin Bay, which was a century earlier than Boardman drew this nautical chart.

Since the British were able to reach Baffin Bay so early, if Mr. Boardman worked hard enough, it is not impossible to reach the seas further north. After all, the sea conditions in Baffin Bay in summer are still good. As for the Smith Strait and Robertson Strait further north, although they can only be navigated in late summer, if you are lucky, there will be no icebergs in the middle, so you can reach the extreme north through this waterway. Sea area is theoretically absolutely feasible.

After thinking about it, Yang Jing asked Clark McCann: Clark, have you ever heard of this pirate with the nickname 'Sea Serpent'?

Clark was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head after thinking about it and said, Sorry boss, I have never heard of this pirate. But why did you ask this person?

Yang Jing pointed to the edge of the pieced together nautical chart and said: Look here, there are some blurred handwriting, I just identified it carefully, it seems to be Sea-serpent in English, isn't it the sea-serpent? Spelling? So I reckon this chart is eight or nine times out of ten the man who drew it.

Everyone heard the words and looked at the position pointed by Yang Jing. Sure enough, at the place where the second and third nautical charts were handed over, that is, at the upper right corner of the entire nautical chart, there were vaguely a few letter.

This line of letters is right at the position where the two nautical charts split. If the three incomplete nautical charts were not put together to form a complete nautical chart today, no one would have thought that these two separated letters represent A person's nickname.

However, neither Grid nor the four bodyguards seem to know who this sea snake is. Although Yang Jing knew that the real name of this Sea Snake was Boardman, but he just knew that the name had something to do with it. What did Mr. Boardman mean by drawing this nautical chart?

Since you don't know, then don't think about it now, anyway, the nautical chart is already in hand, and it will be a big deal to follow the route on the nautical chart.

When Yang Jing was about to put the map away, the phone rang, and when he picked it up, it was Lin Dan.

Brother Yang, the matter is settled. You can come to the immigration office in Nicosia tomorrow and you can get a Cyprus passport directly. But the EU passport still needs to wait for half a year. But the deputy director of Papalokas Mr. said that if you can deposit 30 million U.S. dollars in the bank account designated by the Immigration Bureau, and if the money is guaranteed not to be used within one year, he can let you get the EU within one month. passport.

Yang Jing nodded slightly, but did not immediately agree to Lin Dan, but thought for a while and said: Lin Zi, you can wait for us in Nicosia, we are all in Paphos now, and we will leave after lunch. You can reach Nicosia. You tell Mr. Papalokas that I am preparing for an investment recently, which requires a lot of money, and it is not convenient at hand for the time being, so the EU passport can be obtained later.”

Okay, I know what to do.

Well, you can make an appointment with Mr. Papalokas for me, that is, I will treat him and his wife to a private meal tomorrow night. Well, I remember that there seems to be a Michelin two-star restaurant in Nicosia , you will order food in a while, no matter how much it costs, I want a table in that restaurant tomorrow night.

Don't worry, Brother Yang, I will take care of this matter for you. Brother Yang, if there is nothing else, I'll go out and book a table.

Yang Jing nodded and was about to hang up when he suddenly remembered Sea Snake Boardman, so he asked casually, Linzi, have you ever heard of a man nicknamed 'Sea Snake' who roamed the Caribbean in the early 18th century? 'The pirates?

Early eighteenth century? Pirates of the Caribbean? Nicknamed 'Sea Snake'? Lin Dan muttered to himself on the phone, and after a while, Lin Dan said, Brother Yang, don't say it, I seem to be really From there, I heard that there seems to be such a pirate nicknamed 'Sea Serpent'. You wait for me for a while, I will go out and book a table, and I will ask my classmates online after a while, and he should be able to give me a definite answer.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Jing and his group of six didn't go out to eat, but had lunch at the hotel where they were staying. When he was about to finish eating, Yang Jing received a message from Lin Dan. The message was nothing but a link.

Yang Jing clicked on this link, and found that it was a forum named Pirate's House. There were quite a few people in it, and most of the discussions were about pirates.

Yang Jing entered key words such as Sea Snake, Early Eighteenth Century, and Bathalomeu Roberts from the search bar of this forum, and after clicking the search button, several items appeared on the phone page Related posts, Yang Jing clicked on the first post and saw a smile on his face
