The strongest captain: I have a pirate system

A pirate ship with a yellow flying dragon led two fast boats to the sea off Goff Island. Boren's men stationed here did not recognize the new pirate flag, but the black-haired Cathay captain and the iconic pink ship Sail, they recognized it.

The new Cathay captain who joined the Redbeard Pirates is here!
Goff Island is different from other islands that deviate from the waterway. Its geographical location is very superior. It takes up to three days to reach the mainland to the east. To the south is the most lively triangle in the West Sea. Merchant ships from the Far East and the Elsa Federation will pass by Here, and therefore here, are often patrolled by warships of the Empire and the Kingdom of Krilanda.

If it wasn't for the shallow bay and the lack of products, it would have been impossible for the Redbeard's forces to occupy this place anyway. Even so, Mosang took a lot of effort to defeat the original forces and capture Goff Island.

Liu Peng stretched his waist, and after the pirates to be checked confirmed their identities, they took them to a stop at the port pier. They told Liu Peng that they could directly enter the town of Goff Island without paying any landing fee later. .

After getting off the boat, Liu Peng had nothing to do. When he saw Lance drinking on the deck, he greeted him, "Lance, come down and play together."

Since boarding the ship, Lance has fallen into a low mood, perhaps because his dream of being promoted to the top for many years has finally been shattered. After all, he planned the counterattack against Baron Adrian, and the baron was hanged in the city by Liu Peng. Above all, it would be a dream for him to stay any longer.

According to the noble law of the Calradia Empire established by Augustus I, the officials in the territory did not protect their lords well, resulting in the lord's death in battle or accidental death, they would be held accountable, and in serious cases they would be executed.

He knew that, as a tribune, the militiamen were captured without going into battle, and he himself stayed in the camp overnight. Can he survive after this incident is over?Even if he survived, he would never have the opportunity to serve the nobles again.

After thinking about it again and again, he still chose to go on board with Liu Peng, maybe he would have a chance to be recruited in the future.

Hearing Liu Peng calling him, Lance put the bottle aside, nodded, and almost fell into the sea when he came down.

Supporting the crumbling Lance, Liu Peng said with a smile: "Don't be so downcast, you see, I am also the Viscount of Clinanda after all, just for personal service."

"Mr. Captain, do you think you can still retain your title of nobility when the red beard announces that you join his banner?" Lance sighed, "Maybe you will follow the empire to issue a sea arrest document."

"That's really unfortunate." Liu Peng didn't mind, and smiled, "But so what, free and easy, one day we will trample them under our feet, what are the nobles, this world will be in the hands of the common people sooner or later. "

When Lance heard Liu Peng's words, he seemed to be sober, and was stunned for a while: "Captain, why don't you listen to what you are talking about, without the aristocratic rule, the common people will mess up the order of the city!"

"You don't believe it, right!" Liu Peng smiled, "It's okay, I have already started enlightenment education on my island, and when the literacy rate on the island rises, I will start to let them carry out basic self-government, no matter what policy It was implemented through their own consultation, without oppression and slavery, to create a world where everyone is equal."

Lance was stunned when he heard Liu Peng's words, and then smiled wryly: "This ideal is really out of reach. Just relying on those ordinary people, they probably won't be able to formulate taxes, right?"

"Tell me how many nobles will do this?" Liu Peng and Christine also knew how the grassroots of the empire worked when they were chatting. .

Of course, although these civilians are civilians, but because their families are rich, they can all go to schools that are open to common people for further studies. For example, Lance is a talent from a private school in the empire, and Christine is a noble lady who is a college for further studies. It's okay, don't look at her usually talking poisonously, but she should have the same elegance.

Lance was at a loss for words for a while, but he quickly found a rebuttal: "It's not certain that the nobles have to take care of everything. What they do is lead the overall affairs."

"Oh, since they have played a leadership role, why can't I let the civilians lead themselves?" Liu Peng spread his hands, "Let's elect a civilian who can serve the civilians to become the consul through elections. Isn't that better?"

"Let the common people choose a consul by themselves?" Langston paused, and then asked meaningfully, "Captain, do you know the truth about the fall of the ancient empire?"

"I would like to hear the details." Liu Peng motioned him to talk.

Under Lance's narration, Liu Peng knew the real situation that led to the split of the ancient empire.

According to the official statement of the textbooks in the previous life, a top-down change that did not match the productivity led to the split of the empire.

At that time, after William XVI, the last emperor of the ancient empire, returned from wandering and inherited the throne, based on what he had seen and heard over the past ten years, he realized the serious shortcomings of the empire, which had greatly affected the operation and development of the empire, so he During the 20 years of his reign, he did several things.

The first thing is to re-measure the country's arable land, severely investigate and deal with those hidden fields, and punish a large number of nobles who hide their fields and reduce or exempt territorial taxes, which offends most of the grassroots nobles in one fell swoop.

This alone is not a big problem, and the existence of those high-ranking nobles who control the lifeline of the country will not do much harm to this.

So those big nobles can still tolerate the policies of William XVI. After all, they also feel that the grassroots nobles are too short-sighted, and the common people cannot survive, so how can they create more wealth?

What made Liu Peng feel that the emperor was too anxious was his second reform. After receiving a large amount of reform taxes, William XVI felt confident, so he extended his hand to the army.

Without the support of the emerging military aristocracy, the local military power of the empire was put in the hands of the big aristocrats, and the military and political department unified the command of the national army to form a professional army.

In this way, the military and aristocrats who had originally received reform dividends were also dissatisfied, and did not work hard for the new army.

However, the emperor, who was dazzled by the victory of the reform, started the third reform in the last five years of his reign. The land of the lords was divided according to the region, and the council was established in the local area. All government affairs were no longer decided by the local nobles. All must come from the council hall, and the emperor will send the chief of the council hall.

In this way, the nobles of the ancient empire broke out completely, and with the acquiescence of the great nobles, the whole country was in flames.

Originally, with the support of the new army and people with vested interests, the ancient empire could still survive. However, William XVI died suddenly at this critical moment. Because there was no heir left, the princes immediately went crazy in order to fight for the throne.

This chaotic world lasted until Augustus I reunified the continent and established the Calradia Empire.
