Chapter 487 Special symbols
Since the beginning of the age of great voyages, in the past few decades, the prosperity of mariti trade has not only allowed nobles and rchants to go to sea and make a fortune, but also those pirates have also risen up, like mushrooms after rain, covering the whole world. ocean.
And those ocean-going rchant ships are their spring rain and the nutrients for their growth.
Of course, in this era of chaos, pirates and rchant ships cannot be completely distinguished. A pirate flag on a tree will turn a harmless rchant ship into a vicious pirate.
Between wealth and life, Kadir quickly made a choice.
"Fly the white flag, you idiots!" Kadir didn't care about the captain's shout, but instead used his authority to give orders.
Soon, seeing the hopelessness of resistance, the sailors surrendered one after another, without any intention of working for their employers.
The captain glanced at the three pirate ships surrounding him. Although they were not as big as his 800-ton Galen ship, their combat power was not at the sa level at all. Surrender!
"We surrender, my lords, we surrender!" The captain raised his hands wisely and shouted loudly at the pirates who could vaguely see their faces.
"Boss, this is a fat sheep!"
"No, this ship is bulging and slow. Although it is not as good as that gold ship, it may not be much less!"
"Haha! I'm so lucky today, I'm going to make a fortune!"
Seeing the surrender of the rchant ship, the pirates surrounded on all sides boarded the rchant ship one by one, looked around, and their ugly faces were filled with unstoppable smiles.
Kadir watched the pirates jumping on his ship with all kinds of weapons, chatting and laughing, their originally ferocious faces looked extraordinarily arrogant, obviously they were very satisfied with this ship.
He smiled wryly in his heart, who would have thought that the first ti he went to sea, he was almost robbed at the door of his house, what a disaster! Whether or not his life can be saved is another matter.
In just a short while, no less than 400 pirates landed on the rchant ship, and their sailors added up to less than 200. Surrender seed to be the right choice.
And Kadir, who has been observing the pirates, suddenly discovered a big secret. These pirates boarded the ship in an orderly manner. Even though their faces were excited, they still did not loot the gold and silver. Instead, they watched and escorted them one by one. The sailor seed to be waiting for sothing.
Finally, a well-dressed pirate who looked like an aristocrat ca over, but his nondescript footsteps and out-of-the-ordinary movents betrayed him.
He has two bushy beards, a captain's hat on his head, and what seems to be a green agate ring in his hand. He looks like an aristocrat.
"Very good, brothers, today is our big harvest day, next, I will not hesitate to reward, everyone will be rewarded!"
Like a natural leader, he issued a summary. Although there are strong traces of imitating nobles, he still achieved good results.
"Thanks Head!"
"Boss, you are the most generous boss I have ever seen!"
"Long live the captain, long live the wine, long live God!"…
For a mont, the pirates who were originally full of interest, as if they were taking hormones again, blushed, danced and danced, and their eyeballs almost popped out.
Generally speaking, pirates do not have a basic salary, and only when they rob rchant ships will they have inco.
The captain takes up 30%, navigators, first mates, doctors and other functional sailors get 20%, and hard-working sailors get 10%.
3:2:1, this is an ordinary money-sharing model. Of course, there are also strong captains who occupy half of the money, thus accumulating a lot of wealth.
The pirate leader wears a mask on his face, which is in the shape of a skull, giving people a sense of fear.
After he finished speaking, he ordered so pirates to search the rchant ship, and he ca to the trembling captain step by step, and asked:
"You are from the East!"
"Yes, yes!" The captain kept nodding in fear, and said palely:
"We have gold, spices, and ivory on board. These are all for you. Please let us go!"
"Haha! I can't afford to be called an adult, I'm just a hard-working person looking for money!"
The pirate leader glanced at the cowardly captain, then at the more than a hundred strong sailors with their hands and feet tied securely, raised his head and smiled, then patted him on the shoulder, and said:
"Since you have surrendered so wisely, for the sake of God, I am happy today, so I will let you die!"
After hearing this sentence, the captain relaxed, as if he was relieved from a heavy load, and then collapsed on the deck, with a stream of yellow water flowing from his crotch, and his face suddenly beca happy.
"That's good, that's good! Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord!"
"That's the way the Portuguese are! Hahahaha!" The masked pirate leader looked at the pirates around him and laughed presumptuously in English.
"Boss, what did you say just now? You're babbling, Portuguese is so ugly!"
A pirate wearing a one-eyed patch, with his upper body exposed, asked carelessly.
"It's nothing, I'm just going to let them go for the sake of their knowledge!" The pirate leader explained to the pirates who had the sa question.
"Wait a minute, throw a few boards down, throw a few more, I told them to let them go!"
"Yes, boss, I will definitely throw in a few more dollars, and I promise not to disappoint them! We pirates have a guarantee!"
Imdiately, a pirate took up the conversation, patted his chest, and said solemnly.
For a mont, all the pirates on the entire rchant ship laughed happily.
Kadir, on the other hand, watched the conversation of the pirates with cold eyes. Although he could not understand, he beca interested in the weapons on their bodies.
"These people have a lot of matchlock guns, I'm afraid they have a strong background!" Kadir counted and found that the pirates had hundreds of matchlock guns, which is not a small number.
Ordinary dukes in Europe may not have so many matchlock guns.
"Guys, hurry up! It's not far from Portugal. Who knows when the **** Portuguese navy will arrive. I don't want to try the Portuguese artillery!" the pirate leader urged.
Soon, in less than half an hour, the ship's goods were counted, and most of the goods were moved to the other three pirate ships to share the pressure. The flags on the rchant ships were also changed to French styles.
The rchant ship and three pirate ships left this sea area before the arrival of the Portuguese navy.
On the sea, there were more than a hundred sailors hanging on more than a dozen floating wooden boards, shouting helplessly.
But here is already close to Portugal, and countless rchant ships passed by. They were rescued in less than an hour.
It seems that the pirates are still trustworthy.
The three pirate ships, together with the newly captured rchant ships, headed towards England at an extrely fast speed.
At sea, the patrolling Royal Navy stopped attacking the pirate ship after seeing a red rose on the flag of the pirate ship.
"Brother, why didn't the captain allow us to fight those pirates!" A novice sailor asked the veteran with a vicissitudes of life.
"Hey! You don't understand this!" The veteran patted the recruit's head and said with a smile:
"See the red roses on their flags? These are their life-saving charms, we can't hit them!"
"why?"
"Why do children ask so many questions! Work hard!" The veteran cast a glance at him and said angrily, then wiped the deck.
