The Ultimate Live Superstar

Chapter 367 Search the cabin, Thomas! (Four k!)

.

Seen from a distance.

The whole ship was devastated.

Scarred all over.

Covered by many vines.

Crooked mainsail and mast.

Brilliant no longer.

Crawled with traces of time.

I don't know how many years it has been stranded here.

Avery plundered the Mughal gold jewels and the great wealth of the pirates.

whether it is hidden in it.

Not sure yet.

Whether the riots of the subjects have dealt a heavy blow to the ruling class.

Also still unknown.

However, today, the truth of all the mysteries here is hidden in this warship that has been stranded for hundreds of years.

Think of a secret that has been buried for hundreds of years.

about to be unlocked.

Lu Yu's heart couldn't hide his excitement, and he smiled at the camera and said:

"Honestly, a little excited."

"I hope this meeting after hundreds of years will not let us return empty-handed..."

"OK, we have to figure out a way to climb on the deck first."

"Then, take a good look, where does our One Piece hide his wealth..."

Done.

Lu Yu went around to the middle of the sideboard of the sailboat and the rock wall.

On the rock wall at the corner of the cliff.

Found a few rock spots.

It only took less than two or three minutes to arrive on the deck.

Because it's been too long.

The deck of the ship was already in pieces.

riddled with holes.

Not even a place to stay.

through these broken decks.

The cabin below can be vaguely seen.

The cabin on the lower floor.

It should be a storage compartment and ammunition depot.

It's filled with all kinds of junk...

Abandoned musket.

Unopened wooden wine barrels.

old sails.

Shield with knight sword.

Etc., etc.

As long as it is the navigation equipment that was available in that era.

You can almost see it.

In the cabin, all surfaces are covered with dust.

Not moving.

Crawled with cobwebs.

Still the same as it was centuries ago.

Looks like it's been so long.

Except for Lu Yu, no one has been here again.

Gaze down for a while through the gap in the deck.

Lu Yu squatted down, put down his legs, and came to the second floor of the cabin.

The space in the cabin on the second deck.

Not cramped.

Although the construction process is somewhat crude, the practicality is not inferior.

Great nautical age style.

The layout and structure are also very rough and bold.

Just like a work of art.

"It seems that this is not a primitive warship, but a large merchant ship in the era of great navigation."

Lu Yu looked at it and said:

"After being looted by the pirates, they made necessary tactical modifications on the original basis to become what they are today."

"In that era, there were very few pirates who could fund their own shipbuilding, almost rare."

"Most of the pirate ships are obtained by taking the looted merchant ships as their own and making necessary modifications. It's not that they don't have the financial resources, but the conditions are really not allowed. To deal with the official, it is not easy to find a foothold, and if you build a ship in a big way, how can you get something for nothing?"

"Of course, in addition to looting merchant ships, there is a more convenient and quick way, that is to rebel."

"As long as you have the strength to let the current captain be laid off, then the ship will belong to you. Don't think that this kind of thing can't happen. In fact, this kind of thing happened from time to time at the time."

"Speaking of which, the way of life of pirates is somewhat similar to the exile of western cowboys."

"In this extreme looting organization, the basic laws of human society will be vividly interpreted. Bandits and bandits in ancient times are almost the same.

therefore.

It is by no means easy to lead a team under such natural laws and become famous.

One Piece is not so easy to be.

After strolling around in the cabin, Lu Yu looked around aimlessly.

No valuable clues were found.

No clues were found either.

I don't even know who the ship belongs to.

So, it only stayed for five minutes.

He followed the wooden ladder to the third floor of the cabin.

This floor should be the resting place for the crew.

Both sides of the cabin.

There are many rooms scattered.

Musty smell.

Very pungent.

Wooden door of lounge room.

Pretty well preserved.

Vaguely visible on the house number, the names of many sailors:

"Bill Ricardo, Sammy Harrod, Jonathan Shakespeare, Cecil Arnold, Aaron Dunbar..."

Browse all the way.

When it comes to the top.

Lu Yu suddenly stopped in front of a room on the left.

Stare at the name on the door.

My heart could not be calm for a long time.

"Captain Thomas Tu..."

Seeing this, Lu Yu seemed to realize something, and nodded again and again:

"Guys, it doesn't look like this is Avery's Fantasy."

"It's Thomas Tu's Friendship."

"Thomas Tu is also a member of the ruling class in the country of pirates. This person has some personal friends with Avery and often has business dealings..."

That's it.

Lu Yu frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

After thinking for a long time, I reacted and explained to the audience:

"It seems that our previous reasoning was not entirely correct."

"Anne Bonny doesn't seem to be Avery's share-partner."

"Thomas is the one!"

"At that time, in addition to Avery, Thomas Tubacheng also knew the password for the explosion floor in the stone room, so there should be three people present."

"Finally, in order to divide the spoils, Avery and Tu joined forces to kill Anne Bonny..."

"But if that's the case, in the end, could it be these two people who took away the treasure?"

Lu Yu shook his head.

I didn't go any further.

Although this reasoning makes sense from beginning to end.

But the most direct evidence is still missing.

The reason is simple.

In this case, why didn't these two good friends drive their own pirate ships and fly away?

Instead, they stranded the ship here?

Did any unforeseen accident happen during this period?

Is the treasure not on the ship at all?

I thought about it for a long time.

Lu Yu was still confused.

Can't get a clue.

then.

Put the question aside for now.

Then, he pushed open the door of Thomastu's room.

next second.

The door just opened.

An unpleasant stench.

It floated out from inside.

Although centuries have passed, the appearance of the room has not changed much.

and the noble rooms in the castle.

very similar.

Luxurious atmosphere on the grade.

All the furnishings are covered with dust.

Among them, the most conspicuous is the huge, faded oil painting portrait hanging on the wall behind the solid wood desk!

The man in the picture.

Wearing a black trench coat.

A shirt vest is worn inside.

A revolver is pinned to his waist.

The face is thin.

Sharp-mouthed monkey gills.

Ugly makes people speechless.

Mouth mustache.

Especially dense.

Needless to say.

The identity of the person in the painting is probably Thomas himself.

"Hang your portrait in your bedroom."

"This guy is really narcissistic..."

Thomas Fig.

The most famous Greek privateer and pirate of the 17th century.

In 1692, he took a stake in the operation of the 70-ton Clipper Friendship, became the captain of an armed civilian transport ship, and obtained a privateer's license to attack the port of Enamel by bribing officials.

But this guy.

But it doesn't play cards at all.

As soon as he went to sea, he made up his mind, contrary to the agreement of the commission, to draw the crew along the route of Da Gama to the Indian Ocean.

Therefore, he is also known as the da Gama of pirates.

Later, Thomas Tu also hijacked a Mughal Empire treasure ship in the Red Sea, subdued 300 Indian soldiers on board, and obtained many treasures on board.

However, compared with Avery's shocking robbery, the crimes he committed are still insignificant.

Treasure stolen.

Thomas Tu, led the crew, along the coastline of Arabo and Indu, launched a frantic looting of up to 22,000 nautical miles, and all bad things were done.

Murder and set fire.

Robbing civilian women.

Kidnap the lord of the state.

Extorting large quantities of ivory and spices.

In April 1694, Thomas Tu returned with a full reward and returned to Greece. The apprentice sailors on the ship could get a huge profit of 1,200 pounds. This move made Thomas Tu a well-known figure in Greece.

The success of Thomas Tu made the pirates of the same period realize that the eastern coastline was more profitable. The empire became a fat sheep in the eyes of pirates and launched a plundering attack, changing the development map of the world pirates in one fell swoop!

Later, Avery was inspired by Thomas Tu.

Near the Red Sea, another big vote was made.

Of course.

In the end, it was the Mughal dynasty that suffered.

Only, compared to his predecessors.

Avery is going to be even crazier.

At that time, if he had an army in his hand, this guy could not wait to open the door of the Mughal country...

...

Walk slowly to the desk.

Lu Yu searched on it.

A logbook was found.

A feather pen.

A sheep belt.

A bottle of gun oil and a world map from the Age of Navigation.

Open the logbook.

on the title page.

Impressively wrote this sentence:

"I am a man of fortune, and i must seek my fortune (I was born for my treasure, and will seek my treasure)"

This sentence should be after Thomas Tu became the captain of the armed democracy movement.

The motto I wrote for myself when I went to sea for the first time.

ambition.

Visible.

Thomas Tu's famous saying is widely circulated.

Passed by word of mouth by many pirates.

Historically, pirate biographers have agreed that this shameless remark came from Avery's mouth.

Because Defoe had a similar description in his "Pirate Captain".

But now it seems.

Thomas Tu may be the original author of this wise saying...

"I was born for treasure, and I will seek my treasure..."

"Even if it is a treasure that is rich enough to rival the country, I am afraid it will not satisfy the greedy appetite of the pirates..."

Translate the famous quote on the title page for the audience.

Lu Yu continued to explain while looking at the logbook:

"Like many pirates from the lower ranks, no one knows the exact birth date of Thomas Tu."

"It is only known that he was born in Rhode Island about the middle of the seventeenth century."

"It was the captain of the armed civilian ship at first. When it comes to the armed civilian transport ship, this is a very interesting name. In order to compete for maritime supremacy, European countries at that time used all means including 'encouraging pirates to attack other countries' ships'."

"To put it simply, although all countries have declared that they are incompatible with pirates on the surface, on the other hand, they have recruited these pirates for their own use. The armed democrat fleet was born in this context."

The idea is good.

But the result is that there are policies above and countermeasures below.

on the surface.

Pirates accept royal "commissions".

Carry out missions to protect merchant ships.

But in fact, these guys often use "protection" as an excuse to rob non-domestic merchant ships!

These are compared to pirates.

There is no clear division of behavior.

A captain of a civilian ship who is touted as a hero in Ying Kingdom is often the number one pirate leader wanted by Spain...

Very funny.

"Fuck, it's amazing!"

"233333333"

"I feel like my IQ has been insulted!"

"interesting!"

"Capital is everything!"

"Yes, as long as your position is correct, who cares if you are an official or a thief?"

Then, Lu Yu also smiled, and then continued:

"For this reason, armed civilian ships were also dubbed 'the school of pirates' at the time. Many famous pirate captains came out of the weapons and civilian transport ships, and Thomas Tu was one of them."

"In 1692, he took a stake in the operation of the 70-ton "Friendship" clipper, and by bribing officials, he obtained a letter of commission from a civilian ship authorizing him to attack an Enamel maritime trading post in Africa. Thomas Tu agreed. , but had other plans in mind.”

"As soon as the ship left the port, he announced to the crew his plan to make a fortune in the East and received support. Everyone knew in their hearts that once it was successful, they would not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives."

"Of course, if it fails, it will surely die without a place to be buried. The Friendship sailed eastward along the route of Da Gama to the Indian Ocean. As a result, just after sailing to the mouth of the Red Sea, it encountered a Mughal Emperor's ship. Treasure ship, you can imagine how excited Thomas was at that time, I'm afraid he didn't throw out a few drops of urine."

"So, after this guy drank a large glass of rum, he shouted, 'Guys have a chance to make a fortune', and immediately jumped on the enemy ship first."

At that time, 60 sailors armed with muskets and wielding war knives followed him.

After some battle.

They overpowered 300 Indian soldiers and managed to capture their first prey.

When they smashed open the treasure chest, their eyes widened in surprise.

Presented in front of him were huge troves of jewels and diamonds, and the whole box of gold bars was worth more than the looting of ten Enamel merchant ships.

Thomas knew he had come to the right place.

So far, the "Friendship" with only 8 artillery pieces began its crazy journey of up to 22,000 nautical miles.

The courage is also getting bigger.

He even kidnapped a native lord and extorted several cartloads of ivory and spices.

When the Friendship returned to Rhode Island in April 1694, the gold and silver it brought back was worth £100,000!

What was the concept of £100,000 at that time?

The purchasing power is quite amazing.

Definitely a lot of money!

"After returning to China, even the trainee sailors on the ship were allocated 1,200 pounds from Thomas Tu, so the little-known Thomas became a popular figure overnight."

"Young people have quit their jobs one after another and ran to the boat to ask to join the crew. Celebrities, including the Governor of Ying Kingdom, also frequently sent invitations to banquets to this big pirate..."

in the live room.

When the audience heard this, they all said:

"A little show!"

"Celebrities don't speak secretly, I want to join the team!"

"666, is this okay?"

"Will you become famous in one battle?"

"Those who want to join the team can now apply for jobs in Somalia!"

"Ha ha!"

Thomas Figure Behavior.

shocked many people.

But it was the pirates who were most shocked.

From the Atlantic to the Caribbean, from Port San Marino to New Providence.

Both are pirate ports developed and operated by pirates.

It was called "Pirate's Paradise" at the time.

"From that day on, the news of 'there is treasure in the East, Thomas has succeeded' spread everywhere. Since then, the 'Western Battlefield' created by Drake is no longer the only option for pirates, and more people have begun to pay attention to the 'Eastern' wealth'."

"It is also from this day that the days when the Mughal and the East India Du Company complained quietly began quietly."
