Seeing that her boyfriend really didn't seem to know about this pirate king, Gege explained triumphantly: "This Basalomuw Roberts is the most famous pirate king in the Caribbean in the early eighteenth century.
Modern people have made a ranking of the pirates of the Caribbean back then, and ranked the title of the top ten pirate kings, and Basalomew Roberts, nicknamed the 'black baron-to-be', is among the top ten pirate kings. ” Clark McCann and the other three bodyguards on the side all nodded wildly, just kidding, now is the time for the boss lady to speak, and they, as loyal bodyguards, will inevitably support the boss lady's field.
"This guy is British, Welsh to be exact" "I know Wales, I've been there," he was familiar with, and the three Picasso drawings he had made his fortune had been found at Fishgard Valdy Castle in Wales, and he had also been to Cardiff, the capital of Wales, where he had met a serious cook.
"Hold back!"
Gege glared, as if he was very unhappy that his boyfriend interrupted his speech.
Yang Jing spread his hands and motioned for his wife to continue.
"Roberts didn't start out as a pirate, but on British slave carriers.
When this guy first debuted, because he wore a gorgeous black dress and jewelry, loved to drink tea instead of drinking, and his language was elegant and very stinky, people gave him the nickname 'Black Baron-to-be', and he was very satisfied with this nickname, not knowing that it was his partner's ridicule of him. ” Later, Roberts's slave ship was robbed by the pirate Davis, but Roberts was lucky not to be killed by Davis, and in gratitude for Davis's grace not to kill, Roberts resolutely joined Davis's pirate team.
And with his clever brain, Roberts was highly regarded by Davis, and soon became a high-ranking figure in this pirate team.
Unfortunately, less than a month after Roberts joined Davis's team, Davis was killed by the Portuguese in the Portuish-controlled port city of Trebasi. ” After Davis' death, Roberts took over the pirate team left by Davis with his prestige, and Roberts was only 37 years old at this time.
In order to avenge Davis, Roberts planned for a long time, and launched a surprise attack on Trebasi Harbor half a year 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 Trebasi, sacked more than 150 merchant ships anchored in the harbor, and obtained a large amount of goods and many good ships.
With this successful sneak attack, Basalome Roberts established himself as the king of the Caribbean. ” "Roberts was not only level-headed, but also very cold-blooded, never leaving a living mouth after a hijacking.
Not only did he plunder merchant ships, but he also spared the navy, and his flagship, the Royal Fortune, was a French warship taken from the port of Trebasi.
It is said that he plundered hundreds of ships in his lifetime, which is even comparable to the legendary pirate king Henry Morgan, and is one of the best in the entire history of piracy. ” Gege looked at his stunned boyfriend, smiled and continued: "These are not the most critical, the most important thing is that although this Mr.
Basalomuw Roberts was killed in a war after only four years as a pirate king, the pirates he led can extend to Brazil and even farther West Africa and Newfoundland further north!"
This is absolutely unique among all recorded pirate kings, and no pirate king can control a sea area bigger than that of Mr.
Black Baronet-to-be!
So, if you say who reaches the seas of the Far North, then I'm afraid that no one else can do this, except for Bacharomuew Roberts. ” Yang Jing asked with some surprise: "Daughter-in-law, what kind of basha guy are you talking about, he can reach Newfoundland in that era?"
” Clark McCann on the side nodded and said, "Boss, the boss lady is right, Basha Lomuw Roberts did control Newfoundland when he was crisscrossing the Atlantic.
And he also has the ability to go to the far north, which many friends I know have guessed as such.
A few friends even said that if Basharomew Roberts did not die unexpectedly, then in terms of his ability, he could even control the entire Atlantic, and perhaps even the British could not do anything about him. ” After Yang Jing heard these words, he realized that he was taking it for granted.
Yes, in terms of human navigation skills in the early eighteenth century, most people may not be able to reach the seas so far north, but if there is enough seafaring strength, and dare to work hard, and if you are lucky, then this "sea serpent" Mr.
Boardman may not be able to get there.
You know, as early as 1616, the Englishman Baffin arrived at Baffin Bay, a century before Boardman drew this nautical chart.
Since the British were able to reach Baffin Bay so early, it would not be impossible for Mr.
Boardman to reach the seas further north if Mr.
Boardman had worked hard enough.
After all, Baffin Bay is still in good sea conditions in the summer, and as for the Smith Strait and Robertson Strait further north, although they can only be navigated at the end of summer, if you are lucky and you don't touch an iceberg in the middle, then it is theoretically absolutely feasible to reach the far north through this waterway.
After thinking about it, Yang Jing asked Clark McCann: "Clark, have you ever heard of this pirate with the nickname 'Sea Serpent'?"
” Clark was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Sorry boss, I really haven't heard of this pirate."
But how do you ask about this person?
” Yang Jing pointed to the most marginal position of the patchwork nautical chart and said: "Look here, there are some vague handwriting here, I just carefully identified it, it seems to be sea-serpent in English, isn't this the spelling of the sea snake?"
So I guess nine times out of ten this nautical chart was drawn by this man. ” When everyone heard this, they all looked at the position that Yang Jing was referring to, and sure enough, at the place where the second nautical chart and the third nautical chart were handed over, that is, in the upper right corner of the entire nautical chart, there were faintly these letters.
This line of letters is exactly in the position of the split of the two nautical charts, and if it were not for the fact that the three fragmented nautical charts were finally pieced together into a complete nautical chart, it is estimated that no one would have imagined that these two separate letters actually represent the nickname of a person.
It's just that whether it's Gege or the four bodyguards, they don't seem to know who this "sea snake" is.
Yang Jing certainly knows that the real name of this "sea snake" is Boardman, but just knowing that the name has a fart use, what does this Mr.
Boardman mean by drawing this nautical chart?
Since you don't know, don't think about it now, anyway, the nautical chart has already arrived, and it's a big deal to follow the route on the nautical chart when the time comes.
When Yang Jing was about to put away this map, his mobile phone rang, and when he picked it up, it was Lin Dan.
"Brother Yang, the matter is done, you can go to the immigration office in Nicosia tomorrow, and you can directly get a Cypriot passport.
However, it will take half a year for the EU passport.
However, Mr.
Papalocas said that if you are able to deposit $30 million into the bank account designated by the Immigration Department, and the money is guaranteed to be not used within one year, he can get you an EU passport within a month. ” Yang Jing nodded slightly, but did not immediately agree to Lin Dan, but thought for a while and said: "Lin Zi, you wait for us in Nicosia, we are all in Paphos now, we will leave after lunch at noon, and we can reach Nicosia in the afternoon."
You told Mr.
Papalocas that I am preparing an investment recently, which requires a lot of money, and it is not convenient to have it at hand for the time being, so I can get the EU passport later. ” "Okay, I know what to do."

"Well, you can make an appointment for me with Mr.
Papalocas, and say that I will treat him and his wife to a meal in a private capacity to-morrow.
Well, I remember that there seemed to be a two-Michelin-starred restaurant in Nicosia, and you would order a meal in a moment, and no matter how much it cost, I would like a table at that restaurant tomorrow night. ” "Don't worry, Brother Yang, I will definitely handle this matter for you.
Brother Yang, if there is nothing to do, I will go out and book a table. ” Yang Jing nodded and was about to hang up, when he suddenly remembered the "Sea Snake" Boardman, so he asked casually: "Lin Zi, have you ever heard of a pirate nicknamed 'Sea Snake' who was rampant in the Caribbean in the early eighteenth century?"
” "Early eighteenth century?
Pirates of the Caribbean?
Nicknamed 'Sea Serpent'?
Lin Dan's muttering voice came from the phone, and after a long while, Lin Dan said: "Brother Yang, don't say it, I seem to have really heard of a pirate nicknamed 'Sea Snake' from there."
You wait for me for a while, I'll go out and book a table first, and then I'll ask my classmates on the Internet, and he should be able to give me a definite answer. ” hung up the phone, Yang Jing and his group of six did not go out to eat, and had lunch at the hotel where they stayed.
When he was about to finish eating, Yang Jing received a message from Lin Dan, there was nothing else, only a link.
Yang Jing clicked on this link and found that it was a forum called "Pirate House", which had a lot of people, and most of the people who talked about it were some pirates.
Yang Jing entered the key words "sea snake", "early eighteenth century", and "Bazalomew Roberts" from the search bar of this forum, and then clicked on the search, and several related posts suddenly appeared on the mobile phone page, Yang Jing clicked on the first post and looked at it, and a smile immediately appeared on his face ps: Bow and thank you for the 100 tips of "A Little Monkey" and "Chilled Octave".
