[Comprehensive] The painting style of time travel is wrong
Chapter 91 Burning London
After a long time, that day was known as the "Day of Red Mist".
At the beginning of the period, when the big black ship with no one on it but full of sails broke through the shroud-like gray-white fog and appeared on the banks of the turbid and smelly River Thames (Note 1), people paid more attention to it. It's curiosity, not fear.
——After defeating the French and Spanish coalition forces and winning the honorary title of the empire on which the sun never sets, it has been a long, long time since no enemy ship has been able to escape the Royal Fleet cruising in the English Channel, so that people have lost their vigilance , Forgot the fear and humiliation shrouded in artillery fire in the not-too-distant past.
Maybe it was because of the dense fog, or maybe it was because of hunger, but none of the hundreds of citizens who first witnessed it noticed the black pirate flag on the mast.
Then all of a sudden, rumors that this was a transport ship specially used to stabilize food prices began to spread among the witnesses. There was no source or reason, and this rumor appeared so inexplicably.
As a result, more and more people hastily brought their meager savings and began to follow the ship, hoping to buy low-priced grain in the first place.
The increasing number of people soon became evidence of this rumor, making more and more people believe in this rumor. When the ship slowly approached the Tower of London, the dense crowd of people coming from the thick fog made the guards They even wondered for a while whether there was a riot.
Until then, no one knew what was about to happen...
Edward the Blackbeard sat in his captain's cabin and watched all this quietly, regardless of whether he was a Bodakshi or not, he was notorious among pirates for being evil without mercy when he was a free pirate.
But now, even when he saw countless expectant eyes and yellow and thin faces through the mist, he just tilted his head and thought for a moment, and the content of his thinking was more about how to complete the task of "creating the greatest damage with the least damage." confusion" requirements.
The result of his thinking was that he replaced the loaded flower bombs in the cannon with solid iron balls.
Relying on the self-resetting gun carriage designed by a certain girl and the "rope-powered" wooden semi-automatic loading machine, Blackbeard quickly completed all this by himself—before the crowd understood why the Queen Anne's Revenge suddenly opened the gun emplacement towards them Before.
"Oh!"
The dull loud noise spread far away in the dense fog, and the huge crowd suddenly fell silent amidst the huge roar, trying to understand what happened.
The thick fog blocked the line of sight, and people who faced the shells even had a chance to scream.
But the guards on the Tower of London could clearly see the straight and bright red passage that appeared instantly in the crowd of black tides composed of countless citizens when the dull bang sounded.
The sprayed blood seemed to melt into the thick, moist mist, as if it had dyed the air red.
After a miserable scream, huge chaos began to sweep everything.
The people at the front of the line desperately squeezed to the back, but the people in the back who were joining the crowd didn't understand what happened.
Countless screams, screams, and wailings mixed into an incomprehensible buzz, and the casualties caused in this chaos may be a hundred times that of Blackbeard's shelling.
The person who fell had almost no chance to get up and was trampled by the people behind him. The injured fell to the ground without anyone to help him. After the fear spread, no one pursued its cause, and the only thing left was the last The purest and deepest fear.
Blackbeard took a deep breath, and seemed to be enjoying the smell of blood that was almost overflowing from the air, as well as the thick fear and pain that filled the surrounding area. He hadn't felt these things that made him happy for a long time.
But he quickly recovered from his intoxication, and now he has other business to do.
Gently stroking the handle of the precious knife again, several all-metal trebuchets with strange shapes were lifted from the cabin to the deck, and the ammunition prepared for them were wooden barrels with strange shapes and fuses.
Blackbeard knew what was in the barrel—it was a mixture of oil that could burn for a long time and a strange resin found in the southern part of the New World. He had seen the effect with his own eyes in the experiment. It can be said to be a maddening fire.
And that weird girl also gave it a very weird name - Barrel Monotov Cocktail.
"Okay, citizens of London, get ready to meet the flames of my Blackbeard's vengeance~" (Note 2)
..............................
In the early morning, deck chairs, red wine on a small table, and leisurely time, the second instigator of this tragedy is sitting on the balcony, enjoying the famous London red fog half a century in advance (Note 3), while drinking leisurely wine chat.
"The pirate conference seems to be going well. You actually arrived half a month earlier than me."
Tang Xuening said to Barbosa curiously.
"Is there anything worth talking about?"
"Nothing to talk about - just a bunch of pirates."
Barbossa was not at all surprised by this result. He had already seen the wider world, so when he looked back, the "world" belonging to pirates was no longer worth mentioning to him. It was so simple and small that it made him laugh .
While teasing the monkey he named "Jack", he said lightly:
"After the Pirate King has replaced three people, the rest will naturally be honest."
"So what have you gained in London all this time?"
The girl nodded and changed the subject.
"What else?
Does a bunch of women who pester me all day wanting to be a Mexican duchess count?
I feel that I am treated as a rare monkey by them, and countless people want to come to watch it every day. "
Barbossa turned to ask after drinking the red wine in the glass in one gulp.
"By the way, I also discovered the benefits of being cursed."
"What is it?"
When Tang Xuening spoke, she was raising the glass to her eyes. The firelight in the thick fog in the distance penetrated the bright red wine, turning into a strange dark red, like spoiled and dried blood.
"At least while I'm waiting for you, I can't taste those foods. It's hard to imagine how they can eat them."
Barbossa sat up slightly, and said with a somewhat unkind expression:
"I've got what you asked for and sent it back to Havana—after all, you're eleven days late!"
"After all, I'm not yet a professional in forging papers, and it took some time for Blackbeard to complete the preparations I required."
The girl responded helplessly.
Yes, it is said that English, which is easy to learn and easy to use, can master daily communication faster than Chinese.
But in contrast, unlike Chinese where you can guess meanings based on words, the special vocabulary used in science in English and the vocabulary used in daily life can be said to be in two different worlds. It can be said that every era still has its common vocabulary at that time.
That means that if the girl writes a thesis directly based on the knowledge she learned from Luthor, she will probably be treated like "What the hell is this thesis TM written about? Has the person who wrote this thing ever gone to school!?"
Not wanting to recall the experience of that time, the girl changed to a lighter topic:
"Ah, by the way, I was also harassed by a few flies, and it took me a while to deal with them~"
"Poor flies, may their souls rest in peace."
Barbossa showed a sinister smile as he spoke, he could fully imagine the tragic ending for those people.
"Sorry, they can't rest in peace - I threw them all to the Devil's Hell."
The girl returned a similar smile to Barbossa:
"If they only used normal means, I would just refuse politely, but someone actually dared to threaten me with power and force—did you know that there was a certain illegitimate son of a nobleman who threatened me by saying that he was going to report on me for manipulating food prices."
"Does this fool think that there are still people in the upper class who don't know?"
Hearing this, Barbossa was also shocked. He didn't expect such a fool to appear in the noble circle.
"Yeah, I thought he was some kind of wise man who saw through my plan, but I didn't expect him to be mentally retarded.
Although I have long heard that these nobles often intermarry among themselves, and that after hundreds of years, as long as they are willing to check the genealogy, they can always find blood relationship with each other, but I never expected to see such a living example...
So, as the Earl of the Caribbean of the Empire on which the sun never sets, I naturally have a strong sense of mission to make a little contribution to the superiority of the noble blood of the British Empire~"
Tang Xuening shook the red wine in the glass slightly, then lightly touched the wine liquid just enough to moisten her lips, then closed her eyes as if slowly savoring the taste of the red wine.
In fact, the cursed girl can't feel any smell at the moment, but this does not prevent her from showing the "noble temperament" she has learned from dealing with those nobles in recent days-although she knows very well that the price in her mouth is expensive. The "good wine" is definitely the enemy of health with all kinds of bacteria and heavy metals seriously exceeding the standard.
"So I kindly prepared him a small boat with sails in the sea of the Devil's Prison. He will have enough time to learn how to adapt to the wind."
"Hahaha……"
After a burst of hearty laughter, Barbossa no longer bothered about the girl's late arrival, but continued to ask:
"I remember that you originally wanted to use this attack to provoke a war between Britain and France, why didn't you involve them?"
"I would have liked Blackbeard to bombard London with a French flag.
But after thinking about it, I realized that if the two countries could go to war now, they would go to war no matter what the reason is. Do I still have to challenge the old and new hatred between the two countries for hundreds of years? "
The girl turned to look at the red mist that became more and more vivid, and said slowly:
"Peace between the two countries can only be for two reasons, either the two countries are not ready for war now, or the two countries are facing a bigger enemy together, it's that simple.
Provoking in that way seems too contrived, and it is too easy to be associated with conspiracy. "
"Then what are you going to do?"
The author has something to say: I just told people yesterday that I would try my best to write the part of the deduction, but I was slapped in the face today...
Most of the chapters were wasted! ! !
After reading the promotional short story combined with the prequel novel, I always thought that the villain plus 5 was something like a magic zombie! ! !
Checking the information today, I found that I was slapped in the face by some information leaked without corroboration!What the hell is that Poseidon Trident, what the hell is the power that rules the ocean, what the hell is that materialized evil spirit that ran out of Bermuda!
With the existence of such a thing, coupled with the fact that Jack and other original protagonists are engaged in wind and rain, and the American base is engaged in construction, the original script of spreading war, plague, famine and beasts around the world island will 100% conflict.
Note 1: Regardless of how clear the Thames River is now, you must know that it was a well-known "stinky river" long before the Industrial Revolution, so that the king had to issue two special orders: no toilets are allowed on the Thames River...
After the Industrial Revolution, the Thames River was once reduced to a "chemical poison disposal channel". It is said that there was a ferry boat capsize accident in which all the crew were killed. The results of the inspection found that no one was drowned, but the power was poisoned to death. But I haven't found an exact and credible source for this matter.
Note 2: As mentioned earlier, Blackbeard died in the siege of the Royal Navy.
Note 3: Due to heavy industrial pollution, the smog in London during the industrial revolution was particularly "thick", and because most of the coal they used at that time was reddish brown coal, the color of the smog was also reddish-later because of its mastery Lost the right to speak, so "red mist" has become a symbol of romance.But here, it was because of the fire.
