Six Hundred and Fiftieth First Wanderer

1787 was an important year for America.

On January 25, the Daniel Shays uprising in Massachusetts.

This peasant who participated in the War of Independence and shed blood for the Party-State (crossed out) Parliament failed to jump out of his own class through the war. He sadly left the army in 1780 and returned to his hometown of Pelam to continue his bitter planing career.

Yet the revolution triumphed!

Back then, the peasants stood up and fought bloody battles because of the tyranny of the British against the capitalists. They used their lives to drive away the colonists, and put the capitalists on the throne of the rulers with both hands.

But when the revolution was victorious, they suddenly realized that they seemed to have misunderstood something.

Of course, a country ruled by capitalists cannot exploit capitalists like it did in the past, and the new country cannot thrive without taxes...

Where do taxes come from? From the ground.

After fighting in a circle, Daniel found that his life was actually more difficult than before the war.

Those who work hard in the village pay taxes as high as 1/3 of their annual income, while people like him can barely make ends meet by pawning.

In August 1786, the Shattuk Uprising broke out in eastern Massachusetts. The leader of the uprising, Shattuk, led more than 300 farmers to surround the Boston Circuit Court, forcing the judge to stop hearing the issues related to the farmers' debts, and to get rid of poverty in one fell swoop.

When the news reached Peram, the farmers eager to get rid of poverty overnight unanimously elected Daniel, who "had made great contributions in the war and made the British frightened", as the leader, and planned to repeat the old story of Shatuk.

Daniel Shays quickly completed his mental construction.

In September, Daniel led an uprising of 500 peasants and surrounded the State Circuit Court, which moved to Springfield.

Perhaps because of his experience in the world, he did not ask the court to cancel the debts of the insurgents, but put forward the slogan of "democracy, freedom, independence" against exploitation and oppression.

His slogan quickly spread to every corner of Massachusetts. Farmers who were overwhelmed by taxes stood up. In just a few months, more than 15,000 people responded. regime.

Now things are big.

The elites with capital in their hands went from the prosperous New England to the countryside, sold debts, cut taxes, appeased, and the fire of revolution melted away. In late January, Daniel was captured by his fellow countrymen who recommended him a few months ago. On the 25th, he was sentenced to death by the assize court.

It is difficult to assess whether the uprising was a victory or a failure.

The leader of the uprising, Daniel Shays, was arrested, and the uprising farmers were peacefully disintegrated. However, the burden on farmers in Massachusetts has indeed been substantially reduced. It is not the debt cancellation of hundreds of people like the predecessor Shattuk, but the real pressure on the system has been reduced.

The uprising was a wake-up call for America's founding elite.

In February 1787, the Congress of the Confederation invited the thirteen states to amend the Articles of Confederation.

On May 5, 55 representatives from twelve states except Rhode Island gathered in Philadelphia. General George Washington was elected chairman, and the meeting was officially held.

This meeting is called the Constitutional Convention. The main topic is to discuss the Constitution of the United States of America, which has been drafted for several years. The first topic is to abolish the Confederacy and establish a Federation.

Lorraine does not know whether the cotton Jack VII, Alessandro Di Rabi's election scandal played a role in it. In short, the originally opposed fierce democrat camp has clearly split and loosened in this meeting , After four months of prying, the opposition finally collapsed.

September 17, 1787,

The draft of the Constitution of the United States was passed, and it was submitted to the states for discussion and amendment, and the Constitutional Convention successfully concluded.

...

In the blink of an eye, 15 months have passed since the battle against Wai Rust on the island.

On November 3, 1787, the main executives of the Drake Chamber of Commerce gathered at the Jackdaw Pier in Miami to celebrate the end of the two-year long expedition by Mr. Pierce Artis, the deputy director of the Chamber of Commerce.

At 3:13 p.m., a slender mast rose slowly from below the sea level, and on its top was a brand new pure white flag, with pansies as the main pattern, and five blooming flowers coiled around the bottom. desert rose.

This is the latest Pirate King White Banner, which, as always, abandons the traditional black, skull, scimitar and X-cross elements of the pirate flag, and looks exactly like Drake's merchant flag.

This flag symbolized majesty in the Caribbean Sea, and all the pirates would flee before her, even the Blackbeard Edward's regiment and the Black Baron Pavlomy's regiment who responded to everyone back then.

Now, she is flying on the mainmast tip of the Lady of Artis returning from the expedition, rising slowly from the bottom of the sea like a dazzling light.

After a short time, the second mast rose from the sea level. On the tip of the mast was the Admiral Drake's flag with a shield pattern on a blue background, but it was no longer brand new, and there were burnt black marks on the cracked flag.

Then there is the mizzen mast with the rigged sail, and the tip of the mast is guarded by the red and white cross of St. George, which represents the root of the Drake Chamber of Commerce and the Kingdom of England, which has become more and more powerful on the ocean in the past two years.

The Dame returns to Hong Kong!

At the moment when the sharp bow of the Noble Lady jumped out of the sea level, suppressed excited cheers finally sounded from the crowd.

After her, the new generation code of Samurai God, the future of Samurai God, and the Bermuda Brigentine Sunflower sailed out successively. Each ship was full of dust, and even obvious traces of repair could be seen on the hull.

"Let's go." Lorraine smiled and said to everyone, "The bear children who traveled far away are back, let's go to the dock to pick them up."

"Bow correction! Right rudder 3, rudder 2...left rudder 2, vertical!"

"Access the traction cable!"

"Start steam traction, abandon the rudder, and sail with traction!"

"The lady reverses!"

"The water gate in the poop! The traction is stable, and the ship's attitude is stable!"

"The first stage is in place, ready to enter the dry dock, and the crew is parked!"

"Lift the mast!"

"The dry dock is ready, the traction is started, and it goes through the dock!"

"The traction is stable, the ship's posture is stable, and the lady enters the dock!"

"Lower the gate, pump the drainage equipment and warm up the car!"

"Pumping starts!"

Accompanied by the roar of the rumbling steam pump, the two-hour storage operation finally came to an end.

Lorraine saw Pierce poking his head on the high side.

I haven't seen him for two years. The young man is dark and strong. He is wearing Drake's admiral's uniform, with a white and loose cotton shirt inside, and half-worn cotton trousers tied on his shoulders with suspenders.

Just as Lorraine was about to say hello, a fragrant wind flew by. Before a group of superhuman soldiers could react, they had already rushed up the steep ship plank, and the milk swallows fell into Pierce's arms like a forest.

"cousin!"

"Uh...Sharon, calm down Sharon, I'm alive, not a resurrection. Sharon..."

Quiet... silent...

Needles could be heard throughout the dock, until Yaza and Bell broke out in a duet of laughing like a pig.

Gahahahahahahahahaha! Quack, clack, clack, clack!

Lorraine touched his nose boredly: "Carmen, let Ramos and Eddie send Pierce around the world, am I doing something wrong?"

Carmen gave Lorraine a dark and resentful look.

"If I knew it was two years, I shouldn't have kept Sharon by my side." She said, "Do you know how hard it is for a woman to leave her man alone with his rival for two years?"

"He doesn't know." Hana coldly made up the knife without even turning her head. "If he knew, he would have realized it a long time ago."
