- "Don't move around, just squat for me! If anyone dares to play tricks, don't blame us for being rude!"
The Earl of the Deep, after entangled with the Mermaid for a whole night, was defeated by the Mermaid when the sun rose, and was boarded by the pirates on its deck.
After a fierce hand-to-hand fight, the captain and several senior officials of the Earl of the Deep were killed, and everything became simpler.
The sailors of the Count of the Deep surrendered at a disadvantage.
Tuffman was holding a scimitar, and the curve was covered with blood. He looked around the sailors with a proud look on his face.
"Move the cargo to the Mermaid!"
Yo ho ho!
The pirates raised their weapons and shouted loudly.
In this battle, Tuffman's sailors also suffered considerable losses. In the end, more than 60 people died in hand-to-hand combat.
However, their results were still very great.
First of all, the Earl of the Deep was captured, and its hull did not suffer much damage, which allowed Tuffman to sell it at a good price. Moreover, after a fierce battle, only a few dozen sets of three hundred sets of porcelain were broken, leaving more than two hundred sets.
These more than 200 sets of porcelain are also a huge wealth.
¡°Besides, if more than sixty people died, they could share some more money, right?
Therefore, in general, Tafman¡¯s side did not lose at all.
"Captain, how do you deal with these sailors of the Earl of the Deep?"
Tuffman¡¯s first mate came over and asked in a low voice. At this time, the first mate¡¯s forehead was wrapped with a thick bandage. It could be seen that this guy was injured in the hand-to-hand combat just now.
"Get rid of them all, these guys can't be left alive. Since we want to live in Manhattan permanently, we still need to maintain our status as serious maritime merchants, right?"
"Tafman's words decided the fate of the surrendered sailors of the Earl of the Deep.
The first mate nodded and turned to leave, then summoned the manpower to guard the sailors of the Earl of the Deep Sea.
About ten minutes later, screams continued, lasting intermittently for a quarter of an hour and then ending abruptly.
The uninjured sailors of the Mermaid began to transfer some convenient cargo from the Earl of the Deep to the Mermaid.
And some injured sailors of the Mermaid were left on the Earl of the Deep.
"You operate the Earl of the Deep to the east side of Manhattan Island. Someone will contact you there. Then you will say that you are my Tuffman people, and the other party will take over the ship. And they will still contact you. When it comes to buying a boat, you can make your own decisions. After the boat is sold, you can use 20% of it as living expenses and medical expenses in Manhattan. When we come back from the Mediterranean, we will split the money."
Tafman gave very serious instructions to the sailors who were slightly injured.
Tafman did this carefully. After all, injured sailors cannot experience too much turbulence at sea. If not done right, these wounds will become infected, worsen and take their lives.
¡° Moreover, the Earl of the Deep also needs to be driven by someone to go to the east side of Manhattan Island to trade with gangs somewhere.
So, these wounded people came in handy.
And after these wounded soldiers went to Manhattan, they could still receive training and treatment.
You know, the medical technology in Manhattan is very advanced.
Tuffman once saw that doctors in Manhattan had special medical methods for knife wounds, and the treatment results were very good.
For pirates, what they fear most is the worsening of sword wounds.
¡°However, here in Manhattan, there has not been a single example of such a sword wound worsening.
Of the wounded who were left behind, although some of them were seriously injured and unable to move at all, the majority of them were still able to move.
Therefore, letting them operate the Earl of the Deep and heading to Manhattan is the best choice.
It¡¯s better than following them to the Mediterranean and losing your life due to wound infection on the way.
You must know that for a voyage of more than 40 days, they did not bring much water and food. If nutrition cannot keep up, the wounded will simply not survive.
After explaining the wounded, Tuffman found his first mate.
At this time, the first mate had just dealt with the prisoners and was leading the sailors to fetch water from the sea and wash away the deck full of blood.
The surrendered sailors on the Earl of the Deep had their throats cut and thrown into the sea.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?The sea surface was dyed red, and the smell of blood attracted many sharks.
"Hurry up, let's leave here after washing away these blood stains, so as not to have a long night and many dreams."
The first mate nodded: "Captain, there is no problem in selling this ship to people from the Song Empire. But it is impossible for this ship to go to Europe. After all, it will be very troublesome if it is recognized."
Tafman smiled when he heard this: "You don't have to worry about this. People who want to come to the Song Empire will definitely have their own methods, otherwise they will modify it. Anyway, they only need to give us money, right? ."
Tafman will not worry about these problems. As long as people from the Song Empire buy the Earl of Deep Sea, then as for what kind of trouble the Song Empire will encounter in the future, that is not something Tafman can consider.
The first mate nodded silently after listening to Tuffman's words, thinking that the captain's words were right.
Yes, after the Deep Sea Earl was sold to the people of the Song Empire, it had nothing to do with them.
As for whether the Song Empire will use it or not, or what troubles and diplomatic deterioration it will cause because of this ship, that is not something they are likely to care about.
¡°Besides, they are not doing business with the Song Empire, they are just doing business with the gangsters of the Song Empire.
Even if there is a problem, it will only fall on the gangsters and has nothing to do with pirates like them.
The worst thing is, if the problem really gets bigger, pirates like them can just leave.
" However, based on their contact with the Manhattan gang, it seems that there must be support from the nobles behind the Manhattan gang. Otherwise, they would have been cracked down long ago.
"Okay, Captain. Just wait a moment, I'm done here."
The first mate nodded and said.
Tuffman turned around and returned to the Mermaid from the Earl of the Deep.
Time passed little by little, and all the valuable goods on the Earl of the Deep were moved to the Mermaid.
The injured sailors were all left on the Earl of the Deep.
The sailor, who was slightly injured and still able to move, began to pull the rope and turn the sail to turn the bow of the Earl of the Deep.
The Mermaid took back the planks connecting the decks of the two ships, and everyone waved and blessed each other.
Then, the Mermaid sailed straight to Santo Domingo, where she went to replenish supplies and recruit sailors.
¡°Anyway, when they headed to the Mediterranean, Tuffman and the others were acting as serious businessmen, so they didn¡¯t have to worry about not being able to recruit sailors.
Besides, a lot of people were lost in this battle. Tuffman has to slowly select suitable people from the new members to supplement his team.
"The Earl of the Deep Sea sailed to the location left by Tafman with more than a hundred wounded people to trade with the gangs of the Song Empire.
The bodies of the sailors massacred by the Earl of the Deep are floating on the surface of the sea.
Those sharks attracted by the smell of blood happily enjoyed this unexpectedly rich breakfast.
Soon, the blood slowly dissipated into the ocean, and the body was eaten clean by sharks. The skeletons sank to the bottom of the sea, and some evidence disappeared in this sea area.
No one will know what happened here
No one knows how many resentful souls are wandering here.
This is the year 1620. This is what often happened on the ocean after the great voyage began.
After a day and a night of slow sailing, the Earl of the Deep arrived in the waters assigned by Tuffman early the next morning, and slowly approached and anchored in a deep water area on the east side of Manhattan Island.
Several people who were not seriously injured rowed a boat and landed on Manhattan Island.
And their arrival had long been discovered by the outpost built along the coast of the island.
The gang members who were notified immediately came here and contacted the landing personnel on the Earl of the Deep Sea.
After checking the situation of the Earl of the Deep Sea, the gang gave a reasonable price, which made the other party very satisfied.
Thirty-seven thousand silver coins were paid using Longyang, which circulates in Manhattan.
This amount of money is equivalent to more than 100,000 silver coins in European currency.
At this price, even buying a new ship is enough, so how could the assistant left by Tafman be dissatisfied.
According to Tafman¡¯s explanation, the assistant took out 20% of this amount as living expenses for these people.
At the same time, he asked the gang to help them find a doctor to see them.You know, there are still many wounded people on the ship.
Of course, the gangsters readily agreed to this request.
¡°After all, people are also giving money, and they are not allowed to do it in vain.
Therefore, with the help of gangsters, the wounded on the Earl of the Deep were temporarily placed on Manhattan Island.
A group of medical personnel were also dispatched to help them treat them.
After receiving treatment, the injuries of these sailors have finally been alleviated, and no one has died yet.
¡°These pirates are convinced by the treatment technology in Manhattan.
You know, in previous battles, they basically suffered huge losses. Basically, half of the injured people will die because the wound infection worsens.
And this time, not only did no one of them die, but they all slowly recovered.
Of course, some of the wounded were so seriously injured that they had to have their limbs amputated and became disabled.
But even so, they are very satisfied.
After all, compared to being lifeless, becoming disabled is not unacceptable.
During the days on Manhattan Island, these wounded people were not allowed to move around casually. They had to keep their distance from the Mohicans on Manhattan Island.
It wouldn¡¯t be good if these guys in the province do something.
Therefore, a camp built early became a place to house these pirates. (To be continued.
