Journey of the Infinite Wizard

Chapter 400: Pirates of the Caribbean

In the 17th century, the era of vigorous navigation and colonization was in full swing. Fast updates and no ads.

For the sake of wealth and status, major European countries sailed on the ocean with sailing warships one after another. Expand new routes and discover new geographic locations.

America, Africa, Asia...

Shiploads of gold and silver, sugar, tobacco, coffee and other economic crops were continuously brought back to Europe. Countless businessmen, lured by wealth, went to the ocean.

Pulling a boatload of gold and silver materials, selling goods everywhere, and bringing the goods purchased from China back to Europe for sale.

The enviable huge benefits have prompted countless people to go overseas.

Of course, the ancient profession of pirates closely followed the footsteps of the colonists and flourished again.

The huge enviable benefits made pirates rampant in the Caribbean at that time. Countless people are willing to risk the punishment of being hanged if they are caught, and join the ranks of pirates without hesitation.

Even some sea merchants are also part-time pirates.

While doing serious business, they also worked part-time as pirates, killing people and setting fires, selling stolen goods and destroying traces. They were all proficient. At the same time, black slaves from Africa were brought one by one to the American colonies to open up various plantations.

Strong ships, cannons, rapiers and muskets are running across the ocean.

I have to say that this kind of adventurous life is very desirable.

Even though, countless people knew that in that era, whether one went to sea to survive or not depended on luck. But it still can't stop people's yearning for that era at that time.

Licking blood from the knife head, living in no fixed place, disagreeing with each other, drawing swords to face each other.

Perhaps, it was because people were bound by the social system to be free and fantasized about the days of lawlessness at that time. However, such people are only a minority.

Although the pirate industry was rampant, the huge benefits from the American colonies in the New World still caused countless people to ignore this potential danger. Race to the top and step into the ocean.

Many poor people who couldn't get along went to sea one after another and chose to become sailors. Or, immigrate to live in the colonies of the New World, do some pirate business, clean yourself up, and go ashore to open a plantation.

Or, follow the colonial army, attack the local land, take away their wealth and land, and become landlords of the propertied class.

It has to be said that money is touching.

Faced with such a temptation, no one can resist.

The pirate industry, as time goes by, is booming. Furthermore, among the crowd and sailors, countless treasure stories began to spread.

Some people successfully found the treasure buried by the pirates, and then became rich overnight.

As this kind of story continued to spread, countless people were ignited with passion in their hearts, and many people fantasized about finding the place where the pirates buried their treasures. Then he got rich, went ashore smoothly, and bought some family businesses.

Moreover, the things that the pirates looted naturally needed a place to sell the stolen goods.

Some remote islands were occupied by pirates in groups of three or five, and gradually developed into pirate ports, resting places ashore, and places for selling stolen goods. Profit-seeking businessmen flock here like cats smelling fish.

On islands controlled by pirates, open taverns and brothels.

Pull the general fire, wine, food, spices, industrial products and other things to the pirate's port, and take care of the seller by the way. Buy the stolen goods looted by pirates and sell them.

They didn't care who the former owners of these things were. In that era, there was no corresponding identification method.

Anyway, as long as there is money to make.

As for the source, merchants don't care, who cares who its former owner is, if it is in their own hands, it is their own. As for other things, it's up to him.

Not only the private sector provides such locations for selling stolen goods, even the government also opens such locations for selling stolen goods.

There are also pirates who are hired by the government and accept the orders of the government.

With a private plunder certificate, the act of robbery became reasonable and legal.

However, it is not possible to rob the country's merchant ships.

This is a privateer, in fact, a pirate in essence, but such a pirate is officially recognized and protected by the government. Basically, the major seafaring nations all keep their own pirates.

The famous Britain started from pirates.

With this method, it defeated one nautical power after another, dominated the Americas, and brought countless gold, silver and raw materials back to the mainland. Immediately afterwards, it became an industrial product and was sold back to the colony, earning a huge amount of capital. With the money, for the sake of huge profits, he then expanded his fleet on a large scale.

As time goes by, it becomes number one in the world.

Of course, it is the seventeenth century now, and the empire on which the sun never sets, which is famous in later generations, has not yet grown up.

...

Jamaica Island, Port Royal!

A shipping center in the Caribbean, a haven favored by privateers and pirates, the 'richest and most wicked' city in the world at the time, a major center of commerce.

This is the most evil city and the most depraved city in human history. Although there are only tens of thousands of people living here, the city's luxury far surpasses that of London and Paris at that time.

The whole city does not have any industry, but can enjoy the most luxurious material life. Chinese silk, Indonesian spices, and British industrial products are all available. Of course, the most are gold bars, silver bars and jewelry.

In 1670, according to the Treaty of Madrid, Spain officially ceded Jamaica and other places to Britain. At that time, the British government specially set up Port Royal on the southeast coast of Jamaica Island as a base for pirates, and Port Royal became the largest concentration of pirate fleets in history.

This is the original history. In fact, a major earthquake in 1692 caused two-thirds of Port Royal to sink into the Caribbean Sea. Later, Kingston was established on the basis of Port Royal.

...

Moreover, this kind of behavior of raising pirates is not a secret in the eyes of governments of various countries. However, some face is still needed, after all, everyone is a 'civilized' person!

Therefore, on the bright side, the seafaring powers should be concerned about the face that should be taken into account.

Moreover, it is the eighteenth century. Probably from 1720 to 1750, the pirates who were rampant across the ocean had long since declined. The strength of Britain is much stronger than that of the seventeenth century.

It won't be long before the Seven Years' War is about to begin.

The Caribbean Sea can be said to be controlled by the Royal Navy. Then, pirates will be reduced to dispensable things. In order to protect their own interests, Britain has also begun to vigorously clean up pirates.

...

With a bang, a distorted portal exuding an endless halo appeared out of thin air in the sea not far from Jamaica Island. Immediately afterwards, a figure in a black robe stepped forward.

Jiang Ning lifted the wide hood that he hardly opened, revealing a head of smooth, shoulder-length black hair, long hair brushed behind the ears. It was not fixed with hairpins, ropes, etc., and it just hung down to the back of the head, exposing the ears.

The coming world is a magical world of Pirates of the Caribbean.

Here, there is a sea goddess, a captain with an octopus face, a Spanish captain who was swallowed by the devil's triangle and cursed... and there is also an artifact hidden in the seabed.

According to legend, the trident of Poseidon, the god of the sea!
