The Jackdaw had been moored in the port for three days. During this period, many people petitioned the captain Zhang Heng to get off the ship, but they were rejected. If this happened before, the sailors would probably unite to put pressure on the captain. However, when the Quartermaster and bookkeeper of the ship, Dufresne, calculated the benefits of the voyage, they were quiet again.
In particular, the newcomers who just joined are glad that they are lucky to board the Jackdaw. At the moment, they don't want to lose the qualification to stay on the ship because of such small things.
However, this situation only lasted for three days. Three days later, even if someone pointed a gun at their head, these pirates would not stay on the ship. No one listened to the words of Captain Zhang Heng or helmsman Billy. Seeing the boat under control, some people even prepared to jump into the water and swim to the shore. Anyway, it's not far from the dock .
And Zhang Heng calculated next, at this time breeze number almost should also have been safe, did not stop people. So the pirates rushed to the ferry boat and rowed to the wharf as fast as they could. The onlookers on the shore were shocked. These days, everyone was curious about the harvest of jackdaw's voyage. After waiting for so long, it was finally coming to an end.
But then I saw that the pirates didn't stop at all. They all rushed to the residence of kasby, the mortgage merchant on the island. Fortunately, the latter had been prepared. Seeing the movement of the wharf from a distance, they asked the guard to put a table in front of the door and carry a sack.
Difrena hands over the note signed by Kalina and Zhang Heng. Kasby takes it and checks it carefully for three times before putting it into his pocket. After that, the pirates are looking forward to sending money.
Every pirate can get at least 40 Spanish gold coins, equivalent to 320 silver sobs, which is far more than the most optimistic expectation before. For those who have positions, such as gunners and cooks, they get an extra 160 silver sobs.
Zhang Heng himself got a huge sum of 120 Spanish gold coins. In addition to being the captain's double spoils, he also got a share from the elders, which was the additional income that only the 17 people who had captured the Jackdaw could enjoy.
In principle, this warship is the Pirate Group's first booty, but because it can't be directly discounted, it can only be subsidized by stages in this form. According to the regulations, the seniority share will last for three years, and will not change with the change of the captain. Once disembarked or died, it will be automatically cancelled.
Anne, as the boatswain and the bravest man in this battle, also got 80 gold coins. The red haired girl got out of poverty overnight, and became a little rich woman with little assets on the island.
But then she was very generous to give 40 gold coins to someone, "according to our previous agreement, I will share half of the booty of my first voyage with you."
This is the promise made by Annie when they first met, but Zhang Hengzao had forgotten it because of the long time. Unexpectedly, the red haired girl still remembered it.
However, it didn't cost much for Annie to stay with him during this period of time. Zhang Heng had already paid for the rent of the house, so in fact, it was just a matter of adding a pair of tableware. Actually, the cost was about two gold coins. In Zhang Heng's opinion, it was all a matter of raising hands.
But when he looked into the girl's eyes, he knew that Annie was more serious about this matter than he thought.
Zhang Heng could not refuse the money, so he could only accept the half bag of gold coins.
…………
Soon, the whole Nassau knew the news that the Jackdaw had returned with a full load, which surprised many people.
Just less than two months ago, the vast majority of people were still looking down on the newly established Pirate Group. They thought that its captain was too young and inexperienced. Even if many people were interested in joining, they were still waiting to make plans after the first voyage of jackdaw. But now all these people are in regret.
Especially when a sailor on the Jackdaw lost 20 gold coins in one night in the island's casino, there was a wave of upsurge of setting up a pirate group to go to sea in Nassau.
However, these people have no warships, no reliable staff, and the captain is hastily selected. They go out to sea to pursue wealth with their heads hot. Most of them end up miserable. It's good to go back empty handed, and a few of them have harvest. When they come back, they have to face the pressure of the black business alliance. At this time, they find that it's not easy to make money.
On the other hand, Zhang Heng gave the crew of the Jackdaw a month off.
This is also a sequela of the great victory. The first voyage of the Jackdaw can be described as perfect. Every crew member got a lot of money, and their pockets were full. But at the same time, their desire to go out to sea again to plunder was also reduced to the minimum. Almost everyone was thinking about how to spend the money.
Nowadays, the Guildhall, casinos and pubs in Nassau city are just like being chartered by the crew of jackdaw. There is a festive atmosphere everywhere.
It's obviously unrealistic to expect these guys to raise their morale right now, but Zhang Heng can deal with some things during this period of time.Zhang Heng, Annie and Billy came to a tavern called mermaid's house at sunset. At the door, they met a group of jackdaw crew who came out of the tavern. Most of them were drunk and accompanied by some nice looking chicks. When they saw them, their eyes lit up and they yelled that they must go back to have a drink, but they didn't come back It was Billy who persuaded him to leave.
After the episode, Annie and Billy went into the mermaid's house. Zhang Heng took out the watch he had just bought in the morning and looked at the time. Two minutes later, there was a riot in the tavern. A thin man with a moustache pushed away the drinker and the waitress, All the way to the back door of the pub.
If he didn't want to, he pushed it away. As he ran, he nervously looked behind him. Unexpectedly, he was stumbling on his leg the next moment. He couldn't control his center of gravity any more. He leaned forward and fell directly into a piece of vomit by the wall.
And when he turned his head, he saw a black muzzle.
However, it wasn't long before an angry man burst out of the pub. When he was drinking, he was knocked over by the man with moustache. He wanted to teach the latter a lesson. But unexpectedly, the man with moustache showed a touch of excitement on his face, just like seeing his relatives.
However, his excitement didn't last long, because Zhang Heng had already pulled out his second short musket and pointed at the man who rushed out later, "sorry, first come, second served."
