"You are the captain? What's your name?"

On the deck of the three-masted square sail, Wang Xiao squatted and used the machete in his hand to lift a blond middle-aged man's chin "England? Netherlands?"

"Haan Brighton, from England." The middle-aged man's voice was irrepressible. "I am willing to pay for my life, please forgive me."

Hahn Brighton was a farmer in Sheffield. He wanted to ingest wealth in this era of great voyage, so he sold his property to buy a ship, carrying goods to the distant East for wealth.

After a few years, he has a small fortune and has a very good understanding of the rules at sea.

Today, when I was transporting my goods to Haojing, I encountered a lonely cargo ship, and rushed over and looted according to the rules at sea.

The progress was very smooth at the beginning, but no one expected a monster suddenly appeared on the ship.

One person cut over the entire ship with a knife, and he also crossed the springboard and rushed here.

Dozens or hundreds of brave sailors fell under his knife, and the deck was covered with blood and corpses. Brighton was already scared.

Wang Xiao stood up and looked at the sailors on the hard sailboats following him, "What do you think you should do?"

"careful!"

The sailors shouted.

Wang Xiao did not turn around, but slipped sideways away from his position. The roaring gunshots rang in his ears.

Brighton took advantage of Wang Xiao's opportunity to pull out the short gun, hoping to give Wang Xiao a head.

Turning around and looking at Brighton, Wang Xiao smiled, "Sorry, I was careless. It was my fault to relax when facing pirates."

He slapped Captain Brighton's fan and directly slapped the air for 720 degrees and then fell heavily to the ground.

"According to the sea rules, tie Captain Brighton with stones and send him into the sea."

Captain Brighton disappeared from the sea, leaving only a string of bubbles.

Pushing away the springboard, the hard sailboat over there slowly sank into the sea, and it was no longer helpful.

Turning around and looking at the dozen sailors who had survived death, Wang Xiao leaned on the side of the ship and asked them, "Now I announce that I will become the captain of this ship, who objected?"

No one objected, and the sailors expressed their sincere support for Captain Wang Xiao.

Clean the deck and count the goods.

Wang Xiao found two smart sailors to ask them what year they were now and where they were.

The sailors did not know the AD, but only knew that it was the eleventh year of Wanli. Here, it was about three or four days away from Haojing.

Wang Xiao nodded, "Do you know Li Huamei?"

"Fei Xianghu, Admiral Li." The sailor showed awe on his face. "The hero who fights against Japanese pirates has always been active in the Hangzhou Bay area."

The ship is not small, but more than a dozen experienced sailors can barely drive it.

The important thing is that the long-term navigation that knows how to measure direction survives and avoids the fate of losing direction at sea.

As for the previous captain, cargo owner, etc., they had already sank to the bottom of the sea with the hard sailing ship.

Wang Xiao in the captain's room wrote and painted with a quill pen, and arranged his next actions.

"I came to find the Seven Seas Overlords' Certificate. I need a map to find this thing. One map of East Asia is in the Hangzhou Trade Union and the other is in the Kolf. Grass, so far."

"The Hangzhou Trade Union is easy to talk about, but if you want to go to Kolf, it seems that you have to replenish supplies in Fusang. Then you have to kill the Japanese pirates to come to the island. You have to have a fleet."

"If you solve the trouble here and go to other sea areas, you still have to have enough strength. After all, it's money."

Throwing down the quill, Wang Xiao leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to rest. "After all, you have to get money first when you go to any world."

A few days later, the three-masted square sailboat drove into Haojing Port.

The Haojing is actually very small, and the area in the city is not large except for the surrounding forts.

Wang Xiao stood at the bow of the boat and saw the Haojing was a land-connected island in the sea. There was a narrow land connection between the island and the continent, and the terrain was similar to a lotus.

There is a gate connecting the land, and Xiangshan County is there.

In fact, the jurisdiction here is still in Xiangshan County, and the Portuguese have just obtained permission to live here.

This is the core of the Portuguese in East Asia. In order to protect this place, they have defeated the Netherlands, England and the Spanish several times.

Several large sea boats with cloud sails in the port are reflected in the determination of the Portuguese.

The Portuguese were very alert to the fleet that wanted to capture the Mojim, but were very tolerant of the ships coming to trade.

No matter where you come from, you can park here as long as you pay taxes.

When entering the port, there were a large number of ships coming and going.

After docking, the first thing Wang Xiao did was to go to the chamber of commerce to sell the goods on the ship.

Captain Brighton has a lot of personal wealth, and there are two boxes of Ducate gold coins alone, more than two thousand.

This time he came a lot of spices, dyes and other goods from the Batavi Asian Tournament, which is also quite popular here. In the end, he brought Wang Xiao 4,500 Ducats in income.

In the game, you can sell whatever goods you buy, but in fact this is impossible in the real world.

Unpopular goods are either smashed into the hands and cannot be sold or sold at a discount.

For example, Indian cloth cannot be sold if it is shipped here, because there is a lot of local cloth in the Ming Dynasty and there is no market at all.

As for buying things, it is naturally impossible to buy whatever you want.

In the Ming Dynasty, the sea was banned in name. Silk, porcelain, tea, etc. were not sold to foreigners at all. That is, the Portuguese in Haojing have the opportunity to go to Guangzhou to purchase every year. This is why they insist on Haojing.

Walking on the street, Wang Xiao looked at the surrounding environment with interest.

Although the area here is not large, the street layout is very uniform.

A cross-shaped street is the core area, and there are many buildings with Iberian charm around the street. Of course, there are more Chinese-style buildings.

The pedestrians on the street are varied.

People from all over Asia, Africa and Latin America who speak all languages ​​are available.

The indigenous people of Southeast Asia with sting eyes, the Japanese with moon-drafted hair, the busy transport of Asan, the Chinese with sedan chair, the Portuguese with horse-drawn carriage, etc.

When you come to Haojing, you always have to visit the famous cathedral.

However, when he walked over, Wang Xiao realized that the cathedral had not actually started construction.

Helplessly, Wang Xiao had to give up his tour plan and go to find the legendary tavern with beautiful bar girls.

There are many taverns near the pier. When you open the door, you will see the pungent smell of alcohol and tobacco.

Of course, there is also a odor that will inevitably occur when a large number of people gather.

Tobacco is a great enjoyment for sailors.

You can't make a fire when you are on the boat, so you can only put it in your mouth and chew it. But it doesn't matter if you get off the boat, just smoke it casually.

There are many people in the tavern. Mercenaries who want money and live, small businessmen who are engaged in business everywhere, sailors who are recruiting others, only a few homeless men with copper coins left in their shriveled pockets, and pirates who change their names and surnames to find fat sheep, etc.

This is a place used to exchange information and hire people in the Age of Discovery.

The tavern was filled with people and the smell of smoke was very strong. The people inside looked at Wang Xiao and the others and stopped paying attention.

When I came to the bar, I didn't see the beautiful bar girl. There was only a lifeless old white man wiping the wine glass.

"Come three bottles of rum."

Wang Xiao found a place to sit down and greeted the boss to drink.

The rum in a rough pottery bottle was placed on the table, and the old man said in bad Chinese "Three silver pesos."

Because there are often fights and escaping orders in such places, so cash transactions are always the same.

Throwing out three silver coins, Wang Xiao and his two subordinates looked around and found a table to sit down.

There was a lot of noise around, and all kinds of languages ​​with accents intersected together, so they could not understand anything.

Wang Xiao opened the rum's cover and said, "I have to arrange time to learn a few more foreign languages."

The rum has a unique aroma and spicy taste. It is a favorite of sailors.

Wang Xiao has no desire for wine, and the most expensive red wine in his mouth is similar to drinks.

While drinking rum, his eyes looked at the narrow and dim tavern, looking for a suitable target.

In the Age of Discovery, if you want to make money, you naturally have to go on a ship. If you want to drive the ship, you must have enough sailors.

There were only a dozen sailors on his boat, and there were very few tits.

Recruiting sailors is not blind, you have to choose carefully.

‘Crash~~~’

The sound of the bottle shattering sounded, and Wang Xiao looked over and saw that it was obvious that a common tavern fight was about to take place.

As he looked, Wang Xiao's gaze became strange.

Why does the guy who was beaten up in beautiful clothes, with flowing golden hair, fair skin and beautiful face look so familiar?

When the man was punched in the face, Wang Xiao could finally confirm it. Isn’t this the plot character Yurien?

"No." Wang Xiao felt puzzled. "Shouldn't Yurien stay in Hangzhou Port?"
