Zhang Heng knows how important the maiden voyage is to a newcomer captain. Even more how he and his Jackdaw are still the target of Nassau.

Since his return to the island, countless eyes have been staring at his every move. The powerful battleship and the excessively young and inexperienced captain seem to be as delicious as muffins in the eyes of many people.

Therefore, before landing, Zhang Heng had to consider the worst possible. He did not doubt the loyalty of Billy and the others. At least these sixteen people would not betray in a short period of time just after the Kidd Treasure incident. His, but he must take into account the possibility of Billy and the others being used by others.

Especially when the information of the perfume ship and the Duffy appeared, and the location of the two happened to be on the unpopular route, Zhang Heng felt that this thing was a bit too coincidental, and then contacted the strong attitude of the black merchant alliance before, Zhang Heng can already predict that this maiden flight will not be too smooth.

Fortunately, there is still a card in his hand. Karina and he belong to Outsider on the island, especially when the Black Merchants Alliance is established, it is even more disastrous for her who intends to inherit the father ’s career to earn ransom. At this time, she needed Zhang Heng’s Jackdaw to provide her with spoils of war, and Zhang Heng also needed someone to cash out the spoils of war he grabbed every time he went to sea.

Unlike Billy and the others, Zhang Heng from the very beginning did not intend to cooperate with the Black Merchant Alliance, not just because there was a shadow of Fraser behind it, many people did not realize the danger of this upcoming organization Once the trade channels of Nassau were monopolized, pirates on the island did not simply lose their bargaining power.

The captain of a pirate ship may be chosen as the captain because of courage, force, or experience, but in the final analysis is because of their ability to create wealth for the crew, and the unrealizable spoils of war cannot be called wealth. In other words, when the Black Business Alliance really monopolizes the entire Nassau trade, they can easily remove the ship ’s captain by refusing to accept the ship ’s spoils of war.

With such rights, the status of black merchants and pirates will also change.

This is undoubtedly what Zhang Heng did not want to see. In fact, other captains may not have noticed this, but the conditions offered by the Black Merchant Alliance for them made it difficult for them to refuse. In addition to the purchase price higher than the market, the Black Merchant Alliance also promised This price is only valid when they are the captain. In other words, when their crew is ready to overthrow them later, they have to consider the loss that this move will cause.

This undoubtedly helps to make their position more stable. As for what will happen afterwards, most people are prepared to consider it at the time. Very few people who are high-risk occupations like pirates will pay for what happens tomorrow Brain.

But Zhang Heng is unlikely to be so short-sighted. Even now how the existence of the Black Merchant League has hindered his development, and the appearance of Karina has provided him with a possibility.

Billy and Dufreina feel that the latter is too shallow and lacks foundation on the island, so she is not optimistic about her, but Zhang Heng is by chance instead. He hopes that when choosing a partner, he can dominate and have one can completely It is of strategic importance to him to control the channels for the stable realization of spoils of war.

Karina is the most suitable partner he can find at this stage, but before this Zhang Heng needs her to prove her ability.

The Jackdaw arrived at Tamsui Island at sunset. This small island has an area of ​​less than 20 hectares and is uninhabited.

There are between 1000 and 10000 such islands in the Caribbean Sea, and most of them do not even have names. The reason why Tamsui Island has a name is because Magellan once stopped here when traveling around the world.

After many years, people were often confused by the name of the island. In fact, the island was not at all freshwater. Magellan was so called because his fleet was docked here by chance and caught up with a heavy rain, which caused water shortage. The fleet received enough fresh water.

Knowing the truth, this small island, which was originally inhabited, became even more barren.

Zhang Heng asked the Jackdaw to anchor not far from the island, and he took a boat with four people including Anne and Billy to the island.

The people jumped off the stranded boat and stepped on the soft sand to walk under the coconut trees. Zhang Heng soon found traces of human activity in the vicinity, he did not go any further, and blew the whistle as agreed, and it passed shortly , A silhouette came out of the woods.

Zhang Heng also had some surprises when he saw the person coming. At first, he and Karina agreed that the latter would send a hand to bring the news, but didn’t expect came from the businesswoman herself.

The latter looks a bit embarrassed. She may have lived on the island for 2 days. Although the boat that sent her left her with enough food and water, a woman can live alone in this environment. It has been an amazing thing for a long time.

Karina was also very excited to see Zhang Heng because the transport boat that sent her here had already returned to Nassau. Considering that this is not a popular route, in other words, if Zhang Heng could not receive her, she might even be Died here.

The business woman shuddered, “I checked as you requested. There is a boat you should be interested in. It sailed from North Carolina half a month ago, and the boat was loaded with spices.”

“spices?”

“Yes, it is nutmeg from the Spice Islands. It was totally unexpected that the ship would appear in the colony of the New World. They planned to return to Europe. I heard that in London, this thing is almost comparable to gold.”

“How far are we from that ship now?” Zhang Heng asked immediately.

“I asked the captain of my transport ship. He said that according to the speed of your ship, it might take more than ten days to catch up with their wind.”

“Get on the boat.” Zhang Heng did not talk nonsense and took the lead toward the boat by the beach.

Billy was still immersed in the news that shocked him so much. He still doesn’t know what is going on in this scene.

Zhang Heng did n’t explain until 6 people got on the boat. “I asked Miss Karina to do a favor and let her use her relationship in Boston to help me inquire about any prey on this route that is worth our shot. “

“But … but isn’t she in Nassau?” Billy mouth opened wide.

“She returned to Boston immediately after we chatted that day. I chose this place as the joint location because it is the closest uninhabited island to Boston on our route, but I must admit that Ms. Karina ’s efficiency is indeed correct. People admire that the time I have left for her is very tight. She can come here so quickly that she has only stayed in Boston for less than a day. “
