"Thank you, no need, I swore after that battle that I never want to experience this feeling again," Billy said.
"Just kidding, besides us, I also plan to contact four other powerful captains on the island. We will fight together with six ships, and the chances of winning are still great." Black Prince Sam said, "After the matter is completed, all the above The goods are shared equally by everyone, which is a large amount of money, which is equivalent to everyone's income for a year, which means that if you want to, you can give yourself a long vacation for a year."
"If it's just for making money, you should be able to find more suitable prey, right? Why are you so interested in Spanish treasure ships?" Zhang Heng also asked.
It is undeniable that the goods on the Spanish treasure ship are of the highest value, except for tobacco, silk, gold, silver and jewels. What Black Prince Sam said about taking a ship on top of a year’s income is not bragging, even if there are six ships The pirate ships are divided equally, and the share in everyone's hands will definitely not be small.
But at the same time, the danger is also very high. Unless the purpose of revenge is like that of Blackbeard, under normal circumstances no one will confront the forces of the military head-on.
What's more, Spanish ships are notoriously difficult to deal with. Even pirates don't like to rob Spaniards, because they seldom surrender. Many times they are obviously at a disadvantage, but they would rather be sunk than spend money to avoid disaster. Not only do they have to face fierce battles, but they may also get nothing in the end.
"The main reason is that the opportunity is rare. Spanish treasure ships usually operate with dozens of ships, and it is usually impossible to start. This time, there are rare orders. Although there are still two navy frigates, it is already the best opportunity. "The black prince Sam said enthusiastically, "I got its sailing route from a familiar information dealer at a high price. How about it? Are you interested in making this order together? If it succeeds, we will be the number one in this sea area." The team successfully robbed the pirates of the treasure ship."
"That's what you really care about, right?"
Black Prince Sam didn't deny it when he heard the words, with his trademark sunny smile on his face, "Life always needs some challenges. Black Beard Teach can win the Scarborough. I have made so many appointments." There is no reason why people can't take down a Spanish treasure ship together.
Zhang Heng asked Billy, "What do you think?"
The helmsman of the Jackdaw seemed a little helpless, "I still prefer to rob merchant ships to make money safely, but recently we have no other clues on hand, and I know that the bastards on board can't refuse such a chance to make a fortune, Their appetite will never be filled like a bottomless pit, but since the other party only has three ships and we have six, I think it's time to try."
"How is our recruitment going? Will we be ready to go to sea in two days?" Zhang Heng asked. When he received the system prompt before, the number of people on the Jackdaw just reached 70, and the recruitment work did not happen afterwards. Without stopping, Zhang Heng, Billy and the others agreed on a goal of ninety people this time.
After reaching this number, boarding battles will no longer be the shortcoming of the Jackdaw. Although there is still a gap from those large pirate groups, the incident of being attacked from underwater again will not be as bad as going to sea this time. Dangerous.
"So far, we have recruited a total of 26 people. In the previous battle, we died four people, and two were seriously injured. They got off the ship after receiving a pension. So now there are 82 people on board, mainly experienced gunners. It’s not easy to find carpenters and carpenters, but the manpower is almost enough at this stage.” Billy paused, “Two days should be no problem, the procurement of supplies won’t take that long, I will immediately organize the manpower to take those Guys plucked from brothels and taverns."
"Great, I have to inform the other families, then we will see you in two days." Black Prince Sam hurriedly said.
He turned around and took a few steps, but stopped again, and stretched his hand into the jacket, "Oh, I almost forgot, this is for you."
"Um?"
"A joint recommendation letter signed by seven people, recommending you to join the island's council. Sorry, there was a slight delay in the middle. Two guys are having a conflict over the distribution of a batch of spoils. They insist that as long as one party signs the other party, they will not Participate, I can find other people to replace them, but this way I can't use this matter to adjust the conflict between them."
"Thank you, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Heng took the recommendation letter.
"You just need to give this letter to Speaker Clay, and then the parliament will organize members to vote. As long as you get more than one-third of the votes, you can join the parliament." Black Prince Sam added.
"Clay, which Clay, Clay King, the owner of the brothel?"
"Well, don't take this kind of thing to heart. The speaker of the parliament is just a formality. Anyway, there is nothing to do in the past two years. The job of the speaker is basically to review membership and so on. The real big things are voted on by everyone. Clay Popularity in the council... You know, no one on the island doesn't like him, and he's willing to give all MPs a 30% discount, so it's hard not to elect him as speaker."
"Ah."
Zhang Heng then came to the theater according to what the black prince Sam said, and received a grand welcome before he even opened his mouth.
Mainly recently, the sailors of the Jackdaw are the well-deserved main consumers in the brothel, and they sprinkled a large amount of gold coins here. The madam remembered the boss's order, and when she saw Zhang Heng from a distance, her eyes lit up, and she immediately put away the guests who had no guests. All the prostitutes called out, and even expressed their willingness to serve him once for free to thank him for his contribution to the prostitute, but Zhang Heng declined in the end.
At this time, an old man with a thin figure and a pipe in his hand came out of the house quickly.
He is Clay King, the boss of the brothel, and he is also the most well-informed group of people on the island. He has heard the news that Zhang Heng is going to join the parliament. He accepted the recommendation letter with a smile, and said, "Welcome to the parliament, In fact, even if you don't come to me, I will look for you after a while, Captain Zhang Heng, your name has spread all over the island recently, and the construction of Nassau cannot do without excellent people like you."
"Mr. Clay is being polite, but wouldn't it be too early to welcome me now? Isn't it necessary to vote to join the parliament?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Don't worry about the voting. One-third of the members agree. This regulation is only to prevent people from making trouble. In fact, the people who have not passed this link since the establishment of the parliament can be counted on one hand." Clay said, "And A recommendation letter signed by Captain Sam will not be disrespectful."
