Reborn As a Pirate

Sail reefing! Five degrees to port!

Cables ready, anchors ready!

Docking with the pilot, the No. 14 berth is cleared, and the bow is finally corrected!

The angle is normal, the speed is normal, cut into the plank road, and the board is ready!

Semaphore, welcome to Free Boston!

Enter port! Drop anchor!

As the anchor's iron chain sank into the water, the Jackdaw finally ended its long, risk-free journey of more than ten days, and stopped at Boston's busy east coast pier.

Boston is one of the oldest municipalities in North America.

In 1620, the Pilgrims who traveled across the ocean established the first colony nearby, the Plymouth Colony, in Massachusetts Bay.

Ten years later, in 1630, another group of Puritans landed on the Shawmut Peninsula.

Because of the completely different religious management policy from the previous group of pioneers, they built a new colony in what is now Boston's North End, the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which was the predecessor of Boston.

The Massachusetts Bay Colony was built on the Shawmut Peninsula, connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus, and surrounded by Massachusetts Bay, the Back Bay, and the mouth of the Charles River.

Because there are three hills in the center of the jurisdiction, she was first called the Three Mountain City.

Later, some convincing outstanding figures appeared in the town, and the pioneers officially named the town after these outstanding figures' hometown, Boston, England, in accordance with colonial practice.

Thus was born the name of Boston.

In 1691, the developed Massachusetts Bay Colony and the earlier Plymouth Colony merged into the Massachusetts Colony, becoming one of the thirteen colonies of Great Britain in North America. Boston became the capital of the colony, and after the independence of the United States, it became a state of course. government.

This is a holy place for the Puritans.

The original ruler John Winthrop once published a famous sermon here entitled A Model of Christian Charity, arguing that there is a special contract between Boston and God, which was regarded as holy scriptures.

They use this sermon to restrain themselves, and strive to build an order and stability,

A well-structured seaside town, the first public park in the United States, Boston Common, the first public elementary school, Matt School, the first public middle school, Boston Latin School, and the first public university, Harvard University, were established.

The perfect public education system makes this town one of the most core talent export places in the United States, with active thinking and prosperous culture, and a large number of outstanding talents have emerged in all walks of life.

With the back-feeding of these talents, Boston has also been able to develop rapidly, and is now one of the few big cities in North America.

Its entire city includes the northern district of the old district, which is the center of economy, life and administration, where the most citizens live; the southern district, the manufacturing center of the United States, where a large number of factories and workers gather; The east coast dock area called Front Bay; and the national shipbuilding center as famous as Baltimore, known as the southern dock area of ​​Back Bay.

The Jackdaw was moored in Qianwan.

The hull of the ship came to a standstill, the deck was lowered, and Lorraine stepped on the flat plank road. From a distance, he saw a tall gentleman walking straight towards him under the guard of a dozen soldiers.

Is this the captain of the Jackdaw, Mr. Edward Kenway?

Lorraine guessed the identity of the gentleman: I'm Kenway, may I ask who you are?

Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson gave a standard gentleman's salute to Lorraine with a gloomy face, and then raised his head, Mr. Edward Kenway, America...is ashamed of you!

...

Expected, unexpected.

The so-called predictable refers to the fact that Cotton Jack really rejected the mediation of the Continental Congress. Not only rejected all Lorraine's seemingly sincere peace talks conditions, but also tattooed his own conditions on the forehead of the messenger.

[Let that smuggler put on women's clothes and get on his knees and lick my boots clean]

So the negotiations broke down.

Cotton Jack blocked all access to land in his hometown, and the American elite suffered an unbearable humiliation. Although Lorraine didn't care, he was still confused for a while, gloomy for a while, and finally told Jefferson kindly.

Never mind, it's not America's fault.

favor get.

From now on, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and the founding father of the United States, George Washington, who has not been seen above, have all become Lorraine's favor debtors.

The so-called unexpected is that Lorraine did not expect that Jefferson would come to the dock to pick up the ship in person.

Is it just pure guilt?

Or is it that his urgent need for this ship of munitions has left him with no time to be reserved, or even the most basic social distance?

How unstable is Boston?

Lorraine's mind jumped out of the Boston briefing that Adams gave him.

The city was crammed with American troops, the Civilian Army, the Continental Army, and a flotilla of six ships anchored at the mouth of the Charles River.

And what about their opponents?

On land, the Canadian Colonial Army and the New England Colonial Army stared at Boston at an angle; on the sea, the Second Formation of the Continental Squadron was ready to implement a complete blockade of the coast at any time.

As the core battlefield of the Northern War Zone of the War of Independence, the British deployed forces in this area that were far stronger than the Americans. The reason why they did not win this key sea and land hub was because they did not want to experience another Bunker Hill-style tragedy. victory.

To say the least, Boston's peace is maintained by forts clogging the isthmus and batteries stretching along the coast.

But if Boston rebels, the forts and forts will be useless. The red army uniforms will eat up the Continental Army garrison in the north of the city overnight, and the powerful second formation will take over the dock without hindrance, and the American sampans wandering in the Charles River estuary will have nothing to stop them.

If... when the pier fell, the Jackdaw, already somewhat famous, was still loaded with munitions and left at the berth...

Lorraine felt a sudden urgency to leave.

Now that the biggest bonus of this transaction has already been obtained, of course, the sooner you leave this dangerous wall, the better!

Thinking of this, Lorraine smiled more kindly.

Mr. Governor, Cotton Jack is a notorious pirate. Such a person does not deserve to be the center of our conversation. We should talk about far away France. That powerful dynasty is the friend of all justice and justice in the world. Now, his goodwill is here. on my boat.

Jefferson was not as happy as Lorraine thought. Although he was also very happy, his expression and tone of voice seemed just right.

Mr. Adams wrote to me about the goodwill of these ships, Mr. Kenway, and they have been of great service to our cause.

Then let them work quickly. Lorraine bowed, I asked the port registrar who boarded the ship, and I heard that the military port at the mouth of the Charles River does not accept civilian ships, is that true?

Jefferson smiled and waved his hands: You misunderstood, Mr. Kenway. This batch of goods is not prepared for the Continental Army, but for the newly established Puritan Parish Guards, so the place of delivery is Qianwan.

Delivery in Qianwan where fish and dragons are mixed? Lorraine frowned deeply, Mr. Governor, I hope you have considered the commotion that this ship may cause when it lands. Is it really good to deliver in Qianwan?

Don't worry, Mr. Kenway, this is not the first time I have been exposed to this type of delivery. Jefferson patted Lorraine's arm, The Puritan Church rented a water warehouse. But because of the sudden incident, the warehouse is still being cleaned up. In progress, I will trouble you and your ship to wait at the berth for two days.

Two days... is it?
