Chapter 344 Pirates
Pretty Country, off the coast of Florida.

"The 16th and 17th centuries were almost our Ming Dynasty. In these two centuries, pirates were prevalent all over the world. The Japanese pirates who ravaged the southeast coast of China are one of them, but the composition of Japanese pirates is actually very complicated. Many of them are actually Chinese pirates."

Zhao Wenmu opened a bottle of soda and handed it to the eloquent Zhao Wenqiu.

The waiter who followed behind put a bunch of snacks and drinks on the table, and Zhao Wenmu waved his hand, motioning for the two to sit down.

In the refreshing sea breeze at dusk, Zhao Wenmu and Zhao Wenjun listened with great interest to Zhao Wenqiu's narration of the history of pirates.

It is difficult to talk about the complicated composition of Japanese pirates.

But this is the fact.

Of course, whether there are Chinese people mixed in among them does not affect the fact that the Japanese pirates are committing crimes.

"Wang Zhi was a relatively large pirate force at that time. He called himself 'King of the Sea'. According to records, his pirate fleet consisted of hundreds of ships, covering the sea, and tens of thousands of Japanese tribes, all of whom were controlled by Zhi. There are hundreds of thousands of people who die at the front and fill the gullies, and the officers and soldiers dare not beat them."

"That is to say, there were tens of thousands of Japanese pirates under Wang Zhi's command at that time, and even the officers and soldiers could only avoid their edge."

Zhao Wenqiu's memory is indeed good.

After she said this, Zhao Wenmu immediately realized that this is the Singaporean pirate king Xiaofeng played by Fa Ge in "Pirates of the Caribbean"!
"Of course, the most famous one is Pirates of the Caribbean."

"Actually, in that era, the so-called pioneers, those nautical pioneers, were mostly pirates themselves."

Zhao Wenmu couldn't help but interjected.

Unlike Zheng He's voyages to the West in the Ming Dynasty, the Europeans discovered America's great geographical discovery process was accompanied by looting and killing from beginning to end.

The purpose of Zheng He's fleet, which prides itself on the kingdom of heaven, is to promote the majesty of tomorrow, so that all the barbarians and small countries along the way will come to worship and pay tribute.Naturally, they disdain to do things that bully the weak, and their dignity and arrogance also determine that they can't shame themselves to do too much business with the natives.

Lord Zheng He was in the system after all, and it was his merit to bring the envoys and tributes back. If he made too much money, he might make Emperor Yongle unhappy.

What the emperor wants is face.

So from the beginning to the end, the Ming Dynasty neither made a fortune nor expanded its territory, but just became a boy who spread wealth.

The pragmatic and barbaric Europeans are different.

Everywhere they go, they will first show the royal flag and insert it.

Then shamelessly announced: This place is the queen's territory from now on!
As the discoverer of this territory, the Queen of Spain signed an order before the fleet set off, authorizing him to be the local governor, with many powers such as taxation.

Look at people.

I don't know if the new world will exist or not. They have already prepared the governor's appointment letter.

As for the local aborigines.

Ah, monkeys, who cares, civilized people?
Take their wealth, their women.

Ah, no, take their wealth, their men, and kill the others.

The wealth was transported back to the country, and the slaves were transported to the plantations and mines in the Americas, and then returned to the country full of local goods and wealth.

What if you meet other peers?
Of course kill them!

The queen has already slapped the captain on the forehead with a plunder license, is it right not to get his mother's vote?

These people were later beautified as great discoverers and brave pioneers.

No way, who will let the descendants of the colonists hold the right to speak in world public opinion?

Who wouldn't try every means to beautify their own history, and attribute everything they own to the noble character of their ancestors instead of bloody hands?
Zhao Wenqiu waved his hands dissatisfied.

"Oh, don't interrupt me!"

"The first to start was Spain, followed by the Netherlands and the United Kingdom in sequence. The pirates active in the Caribbean naturally came in this order."

"Especially in England, the queen at that time invested in a lot of privateers, and made a lot of money in her pockets, tsk tsk~"

Zhao Wenqiu said with a very contemptuous expression.

During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of the United Kingdom, she vigorously supported the pirate cause, and even contributed to support many pirates.

She specially issued a "Private License" to pirates, publicly recognized the legitimacy of pirates in the name of the country, and even personally boarded the flagship of the great pirate Drake and awarded him the title of Jazz.

As far as shamelessness is concerned, the whole world can be compared with Europe and the United States in terms of small days.

Drake lived up to the queen's expectations. In the following days, he robbed countless merchant ships for the queen, and the harvest was very rich. In 1588, he helped the British navy defeat the mighty Spanish "Invincible Fleet".

In this battle, a large number of British pirate ships and armed privateers joined the battle and made extremely important contributions to the victory of the battle.

Zhao Wenmu reached out and pressed the little girl's head.

"Why are you angry? Tomorrow we're going to pick up the ancestral graves of the colonists! The gold and silver treasures inside won't even be left to them! Hahahaha~"

Zhao Wenmu's hearty laughter scared away the seabirds staying on the deck.

There was a sound of flapping wings all around.

A teacher who does not forget the past and the future, remembering the history is for a better future, instead of getting lost in the hatred of history.

As for those who forget or even betray history, bah, are they still human? !
...

In the middle of the night, Zhao Wenmu woke up suddenly, and then couldn't fall asleep again.

He simply put on his coat and came to the deck.

The cool sea breeze brushed against the cheeks, the sound of fine waves beating against the side of the ship, and the low whimper of the yacht engine loomed in my ears.

Zhao Wenmu looked up at the starry sky, but he was thinking of Zhao Jing and Xiaonuan in his heart.

It was already afternoon in China at this time, and I didn't know what they were doing.

At the same time, Huaguo, Pingyang County.

Zhao Jing, who was taking care of the flowers and plants in the yard, seemed to have a feeling in her heart. She closed her eyes, quietly feeling the subtle emotions in her heart, thinking about what Zhao Wenmu was doing at the moment, and whether she was happy.

"Mom, I dreamed of Daddy!"

Zhao Zijia, who woke up from a nap, threw herself into her mother's arms happily.

She didn't want to tell her mother that she didn't see her when she woke up just now, and she was crying alone!
"What did you dream about your father?"

"I dreamed that my father and my little aunt were playing on a pile of gold. They were laughing so happily! Yes, my second aunt is also beside me!"

Zhao Jing was amused by her daughter's nonsensical dream.

Children always like to be imaginative.

"Mom, I miss Dad! When will Dad come back?"

Xiao Zijia dragged Mahjong who was sleeping soundly beside him, and the other party was still in a state of death and continued to sleep peacefully.

At the beginning, the little guy couldn't help crying while holding the "corpse" of mahjong.

Until 2 minutes later, the gray kitten woke up shaking its head, staring at its little owner with wide eyes in bewilderment.

Only then did the little guy realize that Mahjong is not dead, but dead from sleep.

"I miss your dad too!"

Zhao Jing touched her daughter's small head, her face was full of tenderness and pampering.

"Will Daddy bring me gold when he comes back?"
