Reborn As a Pirate

v1 Chapter 122: The stupid brother of the Drake family

   Saying goodbye to the Jackdaw, the untidy Golden Deer has no more lingering things, tidied up, and headed straight for Jamaica, located in the middle of the Caribbean Sea.

Jamaica is an important transit point for the Caribbean Sea route. It borders Cuba in the north, Hispaniola in the east, and Central and South America in the southwest. It passes through the Windward Channel to reach the densely reefed Bahamas and crosses the Yucatan Strait. On the other hand, the Gulf of Mexico, with high winds and deep waters, can be said to extend in all directions.

   This island has a long history of colonization.

   In 1494, Columbus led his fleet to become the first Europeans to come here.

   In 1509, Spain declared Jamaica to be its colony and changed its name to Santiago. In 1538, Spain was established as its capital.

   Their rule over Jamaica lasted for a century and a half.

   In 1655, William Bing and Robert Venables jointly led a British fleet and successfully occupied Jamaica.

   They invited the pirates to Port Loire, the largest port on the island, to help defend the Spaniards' possible counterattack. They retreated twice in the following few years, and opened up the deep ties between Jamaica and the Pirates of the Caribbean.

   In 1670, Spain formally recognized British ownership of Jamaica in the Madrid Treaty.

  According to the promise given to the pirates by the two admirals of the fleet, Charles II handed over the port of Loire to the pirates, turning the port into a common sanctuary for the privateers of England and the Pirates of the Caribbean.

  In 1674, Henry Morgan was pardoned of crimes in London, he was made a royal knight, and he became the deputy governor of Jamaica.

He returned to the Caribbean with the support of the British royal family. He ran his expansive manor on the surface, but secretly brought a more elite team of pirates to subdue the well-known pirates in the entire Caribbean and establish the sea. The Brotherhood, promulgating the Code of Pirates, became the only pirate emperor in the history of the Caribbean.

   where the emperor is, is the capital of the country.

   Port Loire thus truly became the capital of the pirate empire. When Morgan was alive, its limelight surpassed Turtle Island, where the Brotherhood of the Sea is located, and it was a destination for thousands of pirates in the Caribbean.

   But the good times are not long.

   Morgan died in 1688, and the Port of Loire was destroyed in 1692.

A major earthquake sent half of the Port of Loire into the sea. The unproductive pirates quickly abandoned the ruins. It was not until a few years later that the British built Kingston and built it on the site of the Port of Loire. Port Royal is used as the territorial seaport of Kingston City.

It has become the naval anchorage of the Royal British Navy’s New World Fleet. Jamaica’s beaches have since disappeared from the reckless singing of the pirates. A backward country illuminated by the light of civilization is no different.

   Thinking of this, Lorraine couldn't help laughing.

   Since that weird conversation, he found that he would often fall into a strange circle of literature and art, showing love to the landscape and groaning without illness.

   Just like the ridicule of the light of civilization, he didn't understand why he had such a weird idea.

   Does he still want to be like Robespierre, to gather a gang of rogues, gangsters, and bankrupt workers and peasants, tie up and behead George III in Buckingham Palace to show the public, and then be replaced by a farm master in a small corner, and die?

   How idle...

  Between cranky thoughts, the Golden Deer bypassed Cape Morant, overlooking the white sandy beach of Morant Bay, and slowly sailed into the bay of Port Royal.

  A huge ship approached oncomingly.

  The huge hull and the towering sides of the ship, Lorraine couldn't help but stare when he saw a mighty majestic master who was eager to choose people from the prosperous bow of the ship.

   Shak stood quietly on the bow, like him, with his feet on the bow, two long swords clasped between his waist.

   Accessory double knives means that he will go to battle. The opponent may be the jackal cheetah of France, the West, and the Netherlands, or the sea rat of the United States, or the ubiquitous Caribbean pirates who are running around at sea.

   He saw Lorraine, his icy blue eyes were completely unwavering, just like looking at a strange passerby.

   Lorraine grinned slowly, raised his head, and raised his **** high at him.

   The two boats passed by, neither Lorraine nor Shaq looked back.

   Henna walked to Lorraine slightly worried: "That ship is so big..."

   "HMS Lion, the Royal Navy's cutting-edge three-tier battleship, 52 meters long, 15 meters wide, 44 meters high mainmast, and 1800 tons of drainage."

"She is the top three-tier battleship of the Royal British Navy. It has two full-covered gun decks. The lower deck is equipped with 28 32-pound long-range guns, the upper deck is equipped with 30 18-pound long-range guns, and the stern guns are three-tiered with 12 guns. Eighteen-pound short guns, two-tiered bow guns, two 18-pound medium guns in the lower layer, and two 48-pound overweight mortars in the upper layer, with 550 sailors in full force."

"Fighting, hand-to-hand combat, artillery warfare, boarding, and recovery, she is omnipotent. In small-scale battles, the adaptability and lethality even surpass the old tier two battleships. It is the true main force of the British Navy, and it is also a colony. The first choice for fleet admiral ships."

   Henna opened her mouth slightly: "Lion, that's not..."

   "Col. Shaq. Francis Drake... No, I should call him the Admiral of the Continental Squadron, Mr. Major General. This is his flagship and his father's flagship back then."

   "Is that the one who wears double swords like you just now?"

   "Yes." Lorraine shook his head unclearly, "Enter the port, I hope Lieutenant Colonel Nelson has prepared everything for us, so that we can save some time."

  ……

   The Lion slowly sailed out of the bay of Port Royal, and Shaq stood silently on the bow of the ship, his mind was all passing by, Lorraine's provocative actions and a wanton smile on his face.

   Bell, who had just been promoted to major, walked lazily with his trousers in his waist, with a smile on his eyebrows, without the appearance of a good officer.

   "Admiral, I just had a glimpse. I seem to have seen classmate Drake."

   "If you have time to pay attention to the captains of the passing ships, you should have all the pictures of the pirates of the Caribbean printed in your mind in advance. This will help me capture the merits of the war."

   "Uh... I just turned my head when I turned the rudder... You know, our ship's rail is higher."

   Shaq glanced at him coldly, then turned back to the cabin.

   Not a few steps away, he suddenly stopped: "Your sister, how is life going on recently?"

   Bell blinked his eyes: "Admiral, the military assets of Hamilton Port were just counted before the handover. You just want to fund my sister's studies, and I dare not touch the things there."

   "Selling military assets is not a long-term solution." Shaq lowered his head and played with the tassels on the military uniform. "Your behavior in Plymouth has been exposed. If you don't want to go to the military court, you'd better disembark in San Salvador."

   "Exposure?" Bell was incredulous and lost his voice. "When was it exposed?"

"Just now ~lightnovelpub.net~ Shaq’s voice was steady, making it impossible to tell the truth from the false. "Because a sailor officially filed a written report with me. According to the procedure, I had to convene a military court on the day I arrived in Bermuda. Try your crimes. We all know that you deserve it. "

   Bell rolled his eyes to the sky: "Admiral, is there any room for maneuver on this matter?"

   "Yes, I can also list your whereabouts as top secret in the name of field service, so that you can retain your military status and avoid trial. When the sailor is killed in battle, because of the loss of the plaintiff, the military court will naturally end without disease."

   "I knew..." Bell grumbled, "Where are you going to send me out?"

"Kingston, Drake Chamber of Commerce. I suspect that its president, Lorraine Drake, intends to engage in piracy outside of his permission. You must approach him and report all his whereabouts to me. This is a crime. The only way out."

"Come off, don't you?" Bell couldn't wait to spit on Shaq's luxurious military trench coat, "I need a forged trial order, at least five pounds in change. Also, when I go out on the field, my salary will be required. I send a penny to my mother, and I will be promoted normally according to age... There are only ladies in the family, and I can't make them worry."

   "The request is reasonable." Shaq didn't want to agree, "You will get these when you disembark. In addition, I will arrange for a reliable person to beat you up."

   "Why beaten up?"

   "Because the military court has torture, my brother is stupid, but he is not easy to deceive."

   Bell dropped his head heavily, and sighed as if admitting his fate: "Well, you won, remember to tell them not to slap in the face."

  Shak shook his head slightly.

   He said: "This request is unreasonable, I don't accept it."
