Where is Pierce?

Lorraine pulled out his face differently.

Regarding Pierce's complete disappearance in the early stage of the Xingdao incident, he and Carmen actually discovered it when they read the report.

However, at that stage, Portugal and the Netherlands were mainly making troubles in the Malay Peninsula, and the main battlefield of Britain, France and Russia was occupying the base.

Occupation is mainly a diplomatic operation, not Pierce's strong point. So at that time, Lorraine and Carmen generally believed that Pierce should be persuaded by Eddie to stay in Chennai.

But now it seems that there is something else hidden about this matter?

Lorraine held back her curiosity and asked casually, "Where did you go?"

Pierce raised his eyebrows proudly: "When Papa Dylan was asking you for advice, I was in Chennai researching the information on Star Island provided by the East India Company, and found that the reason why Star Island has been kept in the hands of the weak master of Johor is that In addition to the mutual containment of Portugal, Britain, and the Netherlands, there is another important reason, the bandits in the South China Sea."

"Qing people?" Lorraine was really surprised this time.

"The pirates in the South China Sea are Chinese, but it is hard to say that they are from the Qing Dynasty." Pierce explained, "Most of them are Dan people on the coast of the Qing Dynasty. They live in poverty and live by the sea."

"The Qing Dynasty began to prohibit its citizens from going to sea about a hundred years ago... I don't know which idiot made this stupid decision... In short, the Qing Dynasty did not allow its citizens to enter the sea in any way, and did not form a state-owned company to unify the business related to the sea. The Dan people who depend on the sea for their livelihood lost their source of livelihood.”

"They turned into pirates on a large scale with villages and families as units. They used the South China Sea as their hunting ground and took other pirates, Southeast Asian sea merchants and European businessmen as their prey. Because of their large number, strict organization, and combat effectiveness far surpassed those of the Qing Dynasty The National Navy and the intelligence of the East India Company collectively refer to them as the South Sea Group of Pirates."

"In the South China Sea Pirates Group, there are six largest pirate regiments, each with hundreds of warships. They are called the Red, Yellow, Blue, White, Black, and Purple Six Flags Gang according to the colors of the flags. There are also four most prestigious gangs. The famous pirate kings, Zheng Xilong, Shi Chaosheng, Ma Youcai, and Xu Jiadong, are called the Four Great Masters."

"They also have an organization similar to the Brotherhood of the Sea, called the Danjia Ancestral Hall. But unlike the brotherhood without real power, the Danjia Ancestral Hall is very prestigious among the pirates in the South China Sea. The fourth master formed a council there, named The code of family law governs pirates, and every Dan family pirate must obey the decision, even if the leader of the Six Flags gang is asked to commit suicide, the leader cannot resist."

It can be seen that Pierce has indeed done enough homework for the South China Sea Pirates. He sat at the dining table and described the pirate world different from the Caribbean in clear language, trying his best to interpret the Eastern clan system with a model that Westerners can understand. .

"The pirates in the South China Sea are very hostile to European merchants, and we may be the richest of their prey. In short, their activity makes the trade route from Southeast Asia to the Qing Dynasty full of danger."

"The Portuguese tried to encircle them, and the British and Dutch East India Companies also joined forces with the Qing navy, but they all ended in failure."

"The navy of the Qing Dynasty can only hold back, and our armed merchant ships are no match for the Eastern hard sailing ships in special sea conditions such as archipelagos, dark sands, and estuaries."

"I have reviewed nine large-scale encirclement and suppression battle reports in the past century. Although the warships of the South China Sea Pirates and the Qing Navy are mainly made of oriental hard sails, the sailors of the pirate regiment are more professional, more obedient, and have stronger combat effectiveness and fighting will. It is incomprehensible. And as the age approaches, I find that they are more and more inclined to the European style in terms of ship outfits and firearms, rather than the Qing style.”

Pierce recalled.

"Xingdao is their gate. Every time Europe tries to build Xingdao, they will go south to plunder and make the construction plan aborted. But they don't seem to care who gets Xingdao, as long as they don't immigrate and don't build it, the administration belongs to it. They don't care. To put it another way, they don't seem to have a voice in politics.

"

"I tried to think of ways to defeat them, but it turned out badly. The Qing navy was no threat to them, so they could escape into the Pearl River Valley at any time, and as long as they escape into or even close to the Pearl River Valley, we have no threat to them. "

"At this time, I discovered a complaint..."

When Pierce read the battle report, he accidentally discovered a complaint, and the complainant was Mr. Peyol, an English businessman.

In 1783, this gentleman was kidnapped by Shi Chaosheng, one of the four masters of the Black Flag Gang, and stayed in Lantau Island for three months. Finally, he was redeemed at a price of 7,400 shillings and regained his freedom.

In his complaint, he strongly condemned the incompetence and arrogance of the security department of the East India Company. A true oriental gentleman].

Incidentally, Mr. Peyol is a master of the Qing Dynasty. He has been focusing on porcelain for 13 years and has a Cantonese level 8 professional. Even the complaint is bilingual in Chinese and English.

"I began to speculate that the confrontation between the pirates in the South China Sea and the European merchants might be due to a lack of communication." Pierce said, propping his chin, "After all, the Qing Dynasty was very closed, and there were not many European pioneers who knew Chinese, and those who were willing to communicate with pirates were even more few."

Lorraine's nature was hooked, and Erlang raised his legs with great interest: "So you went to find Shi Chaosheng?"

Pierce shrugged: "Drake is different from other Europeans. Our chairman is Qing Guotong, our board of directors has Wang Ye, and there is my third sister on board."

"So I took the lady to Lantau Island, hung the pirate flag, and fought a friendly mock battle with the red flag, black flag, and purple flag all the way, and finally ended up in Qiongshan County (now Haikou) on Qiongya Road. ) met Uncle Shi Chaosheng."

"Have you persuaded him to abandon Xingdao and open up the sea route?"

"No." Pierce grinned, "I convinced him to come to see you."

"Oh..." (???д???)!!! "Huh?????"

...

12 o'clock has passed.

Even though the debriefing meeting was over long ago, Pierce did not come out of the restaurant with the others. The lights in the restaurant were still on, and the brightly lit room was particularly dark against the hanging corridor and courtyard.

Sharon Artis stood in the corner of the courtyard like a shadow, with her skirt twisted and her face flushed.

"teacher……"

"Poor little Sharon." Carmen caressed Sharon's flaxen hair pitifully, as if looking at her own youthfulness, "Pierce has been away for two years, and spent time with Third Sister Xiao, but you were left by my side , all the time... dealing with those boring numbers."

"No, teacher..." Sharon lowered her head, "Even on the boat, my cousin likes to be with Third Sister..."

"Men are like that."

Carmen's hand slid down from her hair, her slender fingertips slid across her face, hooked over her chin, and along her shoulders, she kept pinching Sharon's palm.

"Brave, straightforward, they always know what they want, and they can easily cut through the obstacles in front of them, like a knife." She smiled, but it didn't look like a smile, "Men like beautiful knives, it's innate."

"But I also like my cousin, very much..." Sharon retorted bravely, and took three deep breaths in a short sentence, until finally, she was able to muster up the courage to meet Carmen's eyes.

Her eyes are so bright, eerily bright, like stars in the sky, people are unconsciously attracted.

Carmen squeezed Sharon's hand hard, only squeezed once, and then let go.

Sharon's disappointed expression was clearly recognizable. Just as she was about to say something, she was suddenly hugged by Carmen.

Carmen hugged little Sharon tightly, like hugging her cherished daughter. She put her hands around her back, pressed Sharon's head, and pushed her ears to her lips.

"The mouth is a tool to persuade people." She said, "I have always taught you how to use words to persuade others, using language, demeanor, movements, and even charm. But there is only one thing, even if you are good at words, you can do it. not."

"You can never convince a man to choose you between two beloved women, and you can't even know whether he loves you more. You try your best to guess the relationship between you and him, but love is not a book, and it is impossible to quantify it. It's a self-deception!"

Sharon felt that all the strength in her body was taken away by Carmen's viciousness. If it wasn't for Carmen's hug too tightly and too hard, she doubted that she could not stand up at all, and she would have knelt on the ground and cried.

"I... teacher... what should I do?"

"You're sure you love Pierce, aren't you?"

"Um……"

"You're sure you've run out of patience, aren't you?"

"Um."

"You're sure you're ready for a showdown, and you won't regret it even if you lose, right?"

"Um!"

"Then go fight." Carmen let go of Sharon, smiling like a flower, "I told you the way, since you are ready, go fight."

Sharon's face was blushing, and the courage she mustered up melted like ice and snow, as if taken away by the night wind, and none of it remained in her body.

"But...but..."

Carmen carefully tidied up every fold and mess on the skirt for Sharon, then clapped her hands and took one step back, two steps, three steps.

"I'm not even afraid of losing, what else is there to be afraid of?"

Sharon froze there, her confused eyes lit up little by little, getting brighter and brighter.

"Yeah." She nodded, pinched the hem of her skirt, nodded, and bent her knees, "Teacher, I'm leaving."

She ran up, brushed past Carmen, and ran into the night in a short while, no longer seeing the shadow.

"I've grown up..." Carmen murmured, stretched out her finger, and gently pressed it on her lips, "It's a lie to say that you will become brave when you grow up, I knew it earlier of……"

"I'm so envious..."
