After Becoming The Tyrant

"Hey old man, I thought you had forgotten how to contact me."

The pirate captain wearing a black hat stepped briskly and danced into the king's study.He had a slanted scar on his face, and a cowhide wine jug hung on his waist, and the smell of wine was still on him.It's hard to tell how old he is from his appearance, he has that typical pirate's aggressiveness.

No normal person would be able to come to the king in tattered clothes.

The Duke of Buckingham's expression cracked for a moment: "I thought it was Charles who came to see His Majesty? Didn't you swear that you would never set foot on the mainland?"

"How can this be? After all, the titular pirate captain of Walway is still me!" The pirate chief replied with a smile. He took off the black hat that hadn't been washed for a long time, and bowed to the king like a circus performer.

"Do you know?"

The king looked at the Duke of Buckingham.

"No, I don't know."

The Duke of Buckingham answered firmly.

"Oh oh oh oh! I knew that you nobles are more hypocritical than the other, and you are full of lies!" The pirate captain yelled like a rooster crowing, "Oh my God, my nobleman! You were a prince back then. Time, how nice it is to say! Why do I appreciate your freedom and fearlessness! What..."

"To shut up."

snapped the Duke of Buckingham.

He started to regret it.

What has Charles been doing all these years?How could he not be optimistic about this psychopath who pollutes the earth?No, to be more precise, why haven't those pirates killed this guy yet?Had he known that he was coming to meet the king, the Duke of Buckingham would have accompanied dozens of royal guards at the gate of the palace.

Don't let him meet the king, don't even think about stepping into the palace.

"Your Majesty, I will introduce you to a more suitable admiral. Let the guards come in and drive this nonsense guy out." The Duke of Buckingham said, and he was about to call the soldiers in as soon as he raised his hand.

"My God!"

The pirate captain stared wide-eyed, looking at the Duke of Buckingham in disbelief.

"My dear brother! How kindly did you speak when you urged us to hurry up from Walwee! What did you say that Legrand needs our courage and blood. Now clean up the group of idiots in Cinque Harbor for you, and you will Turn your face and deny anyone? You will be hoisted to the mast by everyone on the ship."

All right.

Now, the king also knows where the Duke of Buckingham's dislike for this guy comes from... When he speaks a broken voice like a noble lady complaining about her lover, it is enough to pollute the hearing and vision.

Switching seamlessly between turbulent tone and madness is really not something ordinary people can do.

"My respected majesty, you are not as ruthless as your uncle, are you?" The pirate captain watched the guards really open the door and turned his eyes to the king.

The king waved his hand and signaled the guards to go out: "I thought the rumors about me should not include kindness?"

"Okay, okay." The pirate captain looked resentful, "Another William, another Rose family... Seriously, knowing the bastards of the Rose family is definitely the biggest failure in my brilliant Captain Hawkins' life. "

"You're making me feel like you shouldn't be standing here, but with my fellow scientists. Now, Mr. Brave Pirate Captain, please tell me the old stories, while I'm patient. exist."

The king interrupted the pirate captain.

"Let me tell you."

The Duke of Buckingham took up the conversation.

He really didn't want to hear a bastard talking nonsense to the king in front of him, he knew the sea rascal too well.

"The royal family actually maintains a certain degree of connection with the Walwe pirates."

When they were young, the Duke of Buckingham and William III, for some reason, spent some time on the corsairs of Walway and got to know some pirates.

When the king came to the throne at a young age, Blacy traveled across the sea more than once on expeditions.

The most dangerous time was when the Duke of Buckingham had to face a domestic rebellion and an expeditionary force at the same time. That time he had to secretly send a letter to the Walway pirates.After receiving the secret letter from the Duke of Buckingham, the Walwe pirates ambushed and delayed Blessie's expeditionary force just like they did a few days ago.

It must be frank that compared with the Volwe pirates, the Royal Fleet Command of the Legrand royal family is a waste.

The Walwe pirates, supported by the Rose royal weapon, made the most of their sea experience - of course, part of the reason is that this group of pirates has no lower limit and no chivalry. It's precious time.

Since then, the royal family has secretly provided some support to the Walwe pirates.

After all, the Walway pirates are not real sea monsters living in the sea, and they still need to obtain supplies from land on a regular basis.The royal family regularly prepares supplies for them on some specific uninhabited islands.The Walway pirates thus avoided the danger of being found and hunted down to obtain supplies, and it is precisely because of this that their legends have become more and more bizarre.

In the end, it even became a ghost on the sea.

In return for mutual benefit, the Walway pirates would also provide the royal family with information they observed at sea, and the Duke of Buckingham thus successfully captured some overseas spies from other countries.

To some extent, the Walway pirates can also be regarded as a shadow blade of the Rose family along the coast.Although it is not that much obedience.

However, after all, it is not a good reputation for the royal family to conspire with pirates, and it is shameful.

Prior to this, the Duke of Buckingham did not explain this matter to the king due to other considerations.It wasn't until this time that the Duke of Buckingham saw the king's plan to reform the military system and added the matter of the Five-Port Alliance, so he thought about letting them appear in the king's sight.

After listening to the words of the Duke of Buckingham, the king was thoughtful.

If this is the case, it makes sense why the Duke of Buckingham was able to contact the Walway pirates who came and went without a trace at sea in time.

The cooperation between the royal family and the pirates was maintained, and the king didn't care one bit about it.

"My dear old man, how did it get into your mouth? Our great friendship is only cold cooperation! Don't we help you again and again just for those supplies? I want to pass on your words to Charles, it's so annoying Sad!" The pirate captain sighed.

The Duke of Buckingham tried to throw him out again.

"Well, sir," said the king gently, "I believe that Legrand's help is indeed out of sincere friendship. I will not insult your noble character, and I will order people to stop going to the island later. Shipping supplies, the position of general will also be reconsidered."

"Wait, Your Majesty." The pirate captain looked serious, "The noble spirit is for knights. For pirates like us, please continue to insult our character with gold coins."

"I want to talk to this gentleman alone for a while." The king turned his head to look at the Duke of Buckingham

"Although I strongly disapprove, your will will always be mine." The Duke of Buckingham gave a warning glance to the unshapeable pirate captain, "I will let Charles come over as soon as possible."

"You are so ruthless."

The pirate captain grumbled.

Only the king and the pirate captain were left in the study. The king didn't speak, but looked at the pirate captain calmly.

"Damn it." The pirate captain sighed helplessly, "You and William are so similar... To be honest, you are very different from the legends, you are so sharp, Your Majesty."

"I'm glad my uncle has a real friend."

The king gave a faint smile.

The king could see that this crazy and out-of-shape pirate captain took his friendship with the Duke of Buckingham and William III to heart unexpectedly. The reason why he was willing to break his oath and set foot on land was probably not just because of Supplies provided by the royal family.

It was this friendship that made the pirate captain seem unwilling to discuss matters of real interest with his nephew in front of the Duke of Buckingham, so he kept talking nonsense.

"Unfortunately, as you can see, he doesn't seem to think so."

The pirate captain complained.

"This is something you need to reflect on yourself," said the king curtly.

"You are the third interesting person I have met recently—and the most interesting one." The pirate captain sighed, "The Qiangwei family is really full of talents."

"I'm a little curious who are the first two you mentioned?"

"Mr. Chemist, they are thinking about how to use the limited artillery at sea." The pirate captain said tentatively, "If they are on my ship, I will definitely entertain them with my butter and spirits , they will be the best gunners."

"Oh, that won't work, sir," replied the King, "permit me to remind you that you are now Admiral of the House of Roses."

"what?!"

The pirate captain's eyes widened, and he pointed at himself.

"You're not kidding, are you? Am I not enough to discourage you from the Volwey pirates?"

"No." The king laughed lightly. "On the contrary, you have given me more confidence in the Volwe pirates."

The expression of the pirate captain was blank for a moment.

The king pressed his fingers together, and he looked at the pirate captain with great interest: "Before I saw you, I might have believed that you really came here for the letter of appointment. But after seeing you, I had to overturn it." This recognition—if you really want to, you can be a general when my father was."

"So……"

The king smiled.

"Let me guess, why are you willing to appear in Kossoya even though you don't need a naval officer?"

"You're in a little trouble."

said the king softly.

His icy blue eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

"A little trouble that maybe only I can solve."

The pirate captain was silent for a moment, and then became angry: "I'm going to kill those bastards who talk nonsense and spread rumors! Who the hell told me that you are an incompetent tyrant! Are their eyes all thrown into the abyss? ? Or do they have no such thing as a brain?"

"Be quiet, sir."

The king put his hands on the back of his chair.

"Now, tell me what trouble you're in."

The author has something to say: ps: In history, Britain often appointed pirates to participate in foreign wars. In fact, very few Royal Navy warships participated in the Anglo-Spanish War in 1588, accounting for only 18%, and pirate ships became an important force in this war.Drake commanded the Royal Navy ship "Revenge", Hawkins commanded "Victory", Martin Frobicher commanded "Triumph" ... the pirates did a much better job than the royal fleet.cough
