Chapter 43

"Hi, old man, I thought you had forgotten how to contact me."

The captain of the pirate in black cap stepped into the king's study with light steps and dancing. He had a slanting scar on his face and a cowhide wine pot on his waist. The smell of wine was not dispersed. It's hard to tell how old he is from his appearance. He has the typical rebellious spirit of a pirate.

Normal people can't come out and wear rags to see the king.

The Duke of Buckingham had a split look: "I thought it was Charles who came to see your majesty? Don't you swear not to set foot on the mainland all your life? "

"How can that be? After all, I am the pirate captain in the name of walway!" The pirate chief replied with a smile. He took off his black hat, which he didn't know for a long time, and bowed to the king like a circus performer.

"Do you know each other?"

The king looked at the Duke of Buckingham.

"No, I don't know."

The Duke of Buckingham answered with certainty.

"Oh, oh, oh! I knew you aristocrats were more hypocritical and more liary than before The pirate captain yelled like a rooster, "my God, my Lord! When you were a prince, how nice you said it! What? I appreciate your freedom! What... "

"Shut up."

Barked the Duke of Buckingham.

He began to regret it.

What has Charles been doing for so many years? How can he not treat this neuropathy that pollutes the earth well? No, to be more precise, why haven't the pirates killed this guy? As long as I knew that he had come to see the king, the Duke of Buckingham must have equipped dozens of royal guards at the gate of the palace.

Don't let him meet the king. Don't even think about stepping into the palace.

"Your Majesty, I'll recommend a more suitable Naval General for you. Let the guards come in and drive this nonsense guy out." Said the Duke of Buckingham, calling the soldiers in as soon as he raised his hand.

"My God

The pirate captain's eyes widened and looked at the Duke of Buckingham in disbelief.

"My good brother! How cordial your tone was when you urged us to start from walway! It takes courage and blood to talk about Legrand. Now that you've cleaned up the group of Wugang's canteens, you'll turn your back on others? On the ship, you'll be hoisted to the mast

All right.

Now, the king knows where the Duke of Buckingham's dislike for this guy comes from When he used his broken Gong voice to learn from the noble lady to complain about his lover, it was enough to pollute his hearing and vision.

It's really hard for ordinary people to switch seamlessly between the rippling tone and madness.

"Your Majesty, you are not as ruthless as your uncle, are you?" The captain of the pirate watched as the guard really pushed the door in and turned his eyes to the king.

The king waved to the guard and said, "I don't think the rumor about me should include kindness?"

"All right, all right." The pirate captain seemed to be deeply resentful. "Another William, another rose family To tell you the truth, knowing the bastards of the rose family is definitely the biggest failure of my brilliant captain Hawkins's life. "

"You make me feel that you should not be here, but with my scientists and gentlemen. Now, Mr. brave pirate captain, please tell me those old stories while my patience is still there

The king interrupted the pirate captain.

"I'll tell you."

The Duke of Buckingham took over.

He really didn't want to hear a bastard talking nonsense to the king in front of him. He knew this sea rascal too well.

"The royal family actually has a certain degree of contact with the Warwick pirates."

When they were young, the Duke of Buckingham and William III, for some reason, spent some time on the Warwick pirate ship and met some pirates.

When the king ascended the throne when he was young, Blaise made more than one expedition across the sea.

The most dangerous time was when the Duke of Buckingham had to face the domestic rebellion and expeditionary forces at the same time. That time, he had to send a letter secretly to the Warwick pirates. After receiving a secret letter from the Duke of Buckingham, Warwick pirates ambushed and delayed Blaise's expeditionary force on the sea as they did a few days ago.

To be honest, compared with the Warwick pirates, the Royal Fleet Command of the Royal Legrand family is just a waste.

The Warwick pirates, supported by the weapons of the rose royal family, gave full play to their experience at sea - and part of the reason, of course, was that these pirates had no limits or chivalry, and they gained valuable time for the Duke of Buckingham to deal with the Blaise expedition.

Since then, the royal family has secretly provided some support for the Warwick pirates.

After all, Warwick pirates are not really sea monsters living on the sea. They still need to get supplies from the land on a regular basis. The royal family regularly prepares supplies for them on certain uninhabited islands. As a result, the Warwick pirates avoided the danger of landing to obtain materials and being found and killed. Because of this, their legend became more and more strange.Finally, he even became the ghost of the sea.

In return for mutual benefit, the Warwick pirates will also provide the royal family with some information they have observed at sea, so the Duke of Buckingham successfully captured some overseas spies from other countries.

To some extent, the Warwick pirates are also a shadow blade of the rose family along the coast. Not so obedient.

However, after all, collusion between the royal family and pirates is not a good reputation.

Previously, the Duke of Buckingham did not explain this to the king for other reasons. It was not until this time that the Duke of Buckingham saw the king's plan to reform the military system, coupled with the five port alliance, that he wanted them to appear in the king's vision.

After hearing what the Duke of Buckingham said, the king would think about it.

If so, it makes sense why the Duke of Buckingham was able to contact the Warwick pirates in time.

The king didn't care about the cooperation between the royal family and the pirates.

"My dear old man, how come to your mouth, our great friendship is only cold cooperation! Are we helping you over and over again just for those supplies? I'm going to tell Charles what you said. It's so sad The pirate captain sighed.

The Duke of Buckingham tried to throw him out again.

"All right, sir." The king said mildly, "I believe you did help out of sincere friendship. I will not insult your noble character. Later, I will order people to stop transporting goods to the island, and the post of general will also be reconsidered. "

"Wait, sire." The pirate captain said, "noble spirit is for knights. For pirates like us, please continue to insult our character with gold coins."

"I want to talk to this gentleman alone for a moment." The king looked at the Duke of Buckingham and said, "although I strongly disapprove of it, your will will always be mine." The Duke of Buckingham looked warily at the captain of the pirate. "I'll make Charles come as soon as possible."

"You are heartless."

Murmured the pirate captain.

Only the king and the pirate captain were left in the study. The king didn't speak, but looked at the pirate captain calmly.

"Damn it." The pirate captain sighed helplessly, "you and William are so similar To tell you the truth, you are quite different from the legendary one. You are so sharp, your majesty

"I'm happy that my uncle has a real friend."

The king gave a faint smile.

The king saw that this crazy pirate captain was quite concerned about his friendship with the Duke of Buckingham and William III. The reason why he was willing to break the oath and set foot on land was probably not only because of the materials provided by the royal family.

It was this friendship that made the captain of the pirate seem unwilling to discuss with his nephew in front of the Duke of Buckingham about matters of real interest, so he kept talking nonsense.

"Unfortunately, as you can see, he doesn't seem to think so."

The pirate captain complained.

"This is something you need to reflect on yourself." Said the king impolitely.

"You're the third and most interesting person I've seen lately." The pirate captain sighed, "the rose family is really talented."

"I wonder who are the first two of you?"

"Your chemist sir, they are thinking about how to use the limited artillery power at sea." The pirate captain said tentatively, "if they were on my ship, I would certainly like to treat them with my butter and liquor. They would be the best gunners."

"Oh, this one won't work, sir." The king replied, "please allow me to remind you that you are now a Naval General of the rosary."

"What?"

The pirate captain glared and pointed to himself.

"Are you kidding? Am I not enough to reassure you of the warwicks

"No The king laughed briskly. "On the contrary, you have made me more confident in the warwicks."

The pirate captain's expression was blank for a moment.

The king looked at the pirate captain with interest: "before I see you, I may believe that you are really here for the letter of appointment. But after meeting you, I have to overturn this understanding - if you really want to, you can become a general in my father's time. "

"So..."

The king smiles.

"Let me guess, why do you want to be in kosiya when you don't need to be a naval officer?"

"You're in a bit of trouble."

Said the king softly.

His ice blue eyes seem to penetrate everything.

"A little bit of trouble that maybe only I can solve."The pirate captain was silent for a moment, and then became angry: "I'm going to kill those bullshit and rumor mongers! Who told me that you are an incompetent tyrant! Are all their eyes thrown into the abyss trench? Or do they have no brains at all? "

"Be quiet, sir."

The king put his hand on the back of his chair.

"Now, tell me what trouble you're in."

The author has something to say: PS: in history, Britain often appointed pirates to participate in foreign wars. In fact, there were few Royal Navy warships in the Spanish war in 1588, accounting for only 18%. Pirate ships became an important force in this war. Drake commands vengeance, Hawkins commands victory, and Martin frobicher commands triumph The pirates did a lot better than the Royal Fleet. Cough
