Chapter 4407 Chapter 4409 [South Sea Pirate King Xiao Feng]
Elizabeth was attracted by Xiang Nan's story, and while pestering him to listen to the story, she naturally ignored Will Turner in the cabin.
Xiang Nan asked the ship's doctor to take care of him on the grounds that he needed to recuperate. He ate, drank, and slept in the cabin, and could not see Elizabeth's face at all.
So after arriving at Port Royal, Weatherby was busy handing over government affairs and Elizabeth was busy moving, and they all forgot about the child.
Xiang Nan did not forget Will Turner. After he took over the military power of Port Royal, he sent Will Turner to Jack Brown's blacksmith shop to be an apprentice, so as not to waste his natural power and forging talent.
Jack Brown opened a blacksmith shop in Port Royal and made farm implements and tools for citizens on a daily basis. A blacksmith like him would be happy to have an apprentice for free.
What's more, Xiang Nan, as the top military commander of Port Royal, would not have the guts to refuse Will Turner even if he was forced to do so.
…
Port Royal was colonized in 1538, and the Spanish built a city here.
After more than a hundred years of construction and development, Port Royal has become very prosperous. Not only does its total population reach more than 50,000, it is also the shipping center of the Caribbean Sea.
Many merchant ships came here to do business, bringing together tea, silk, and porcelain from China, spices from Indonesia and Luzon, tobacco and sugar from Cuba, and industrial products from Britain and France.
Although this place looks wild, it is actually very prosperous and can be called a pearl in the Caribbean.
Xiang Nan and Weatherby Swann immediately took over the military and political power of Port Royal, with Xiang Nan in charge of military affairs and Weatherby in charge of government affairs.
Xiang Nan now only has one Dreadnought battleship in his hands. As for the Interceptor that appeared in "Pirates of the Caribbean 1", it has not yet appeared in Port Royal at this moment, and it should have not been built yet.
However, the giant ship Dauntless alone can already deter nearby pirates.
Of course, Xiang Nan's dream is not to be a colonial general. In fact, even if King George I abdicated the throne to him, he would not be interested at all.
He was interested in the treasures in the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean."
Therefore, after arriving at Port Royal, Xiang Nan actively started preparations.
He first took out all the internal energy essence stored in the Evil Emperor's relics and restored his profound skills that were as long as one hundred thousand years old. In this way, he has enough strength to take risks.
The first treasure he wants to take is the navigation chart in the hands of the Nanyang pirate king Xiao Feng.
This nautical chart is also called "Mao Kun Map". It is said to be a nautical chart drawn by Zheng He during his voyages to the West during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.
After that, the Ming Dynasty implemented a maritime ban and all treasure ships and charts were destroyed. But this nautical chart was lucky enough to be spread among the people, and it was passed to Xiao Feng's hands.
"Mao Kun Tu" records almost all the secrets of the Pirates of the Caribbean world, including the sea route to the Devil's Prison, clues to find the Fountain of Youth, many treasures, secrets of sirens, mermaids and underwater cities.
It can be said that if you want to hunt for treasure in the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Mao Kun Map" is the best treasure map. Even Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa covet it.
…
Although the sea is vast, Xiang Nan is not afraid of losing his way. Because not only did he inherit Yuan Hua's navigation skills, but James Bond, Jason Bourne and even Partridge Whistle were all people who were proficient in navigation, astronomy, and geography.
Identifying directions is an essential skill for spies, agents, and tomb robbers like them. Otherwise, you won't even be able to tell the direction clearly, and you'll go to the west instead of the east, and all tasks will be delayed.
Even James Norrington himself grew up in a military camp and learned navigation knowledge, swordsmanship, shooting and artillery operation from his father. He was also able to identify directions during the day and night to avoid ships getting lost.
Xiang Nan's flying sword flew very fast, with a speed of more than 2,500 kilometers per hour.
The straight-line distance between Nanyang and Jamaica is 17,600 kilometers, so Xiang Nan set off at midnight and arrived in Nanyang at night (because of the time difference).
At the end of the 16th century, Spanish and Portuguese colonists arrived in Southeast Asia and began to colonize Malaysia, Luzon, and Siam. They plundered spices, tin mines, gold mines, etc. in Southeast Asia and made a fortune.
Smelling the aroma of meat, colonists such as the British, French, and Dutch also came to Nanyang to expand their territories. Therefore, now there are forces from various countries in Nanyang, which can be described as a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and chaos.
It wasn't until "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" that the East India Company truly occupied Southeast Asia. At this time, the largest underground force in Nanyang was Xiao Feng, the pirate king of Nanyang.
After arriving in Nanyang, Xiang Nan first found the bathhouse where Xiao Feng was through some inquiring.
Xiao Feng, the pirate king of Nanyang, likes to take a hot bath very much. Taking a bath is a great enjoyment for him. He likes the warm and moist feeling of the dense water vapor.
…
Entering the bathtub, it was indeed filled with water, warm, humid and hot. People who like it are willing to stay in it for a long time.
Just like the old Yanjing people, they love bathing in bathhouses and wish they could soak in them all day long. It is said to be able to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis to dispel cold. Pirates generally suffer from rheumatism, so taking a hot bath regularly can help activate blood circulation and relieve symptoms.
And staying in the bathhouse is not just about taking a bath. After taking a bath, you can take a bath, massage, pedicure, scraping, cupping, drinking tea, drinking, playing cards... There are all kinds of food, drinks and entertainment. You can do anything you can't imagine.
After Xiang Nan entered the bathhouse, he saw many people eating, drinking and having fun, and Xiao Feng was also playing Sic Bo with a group of his men.
I saw a few shallow scars on his shiny head, swollen eyes, a goatee, and a set of burnt-yellow teeth, which indeed looked a bit sinister.
"Bet, bet, the more you bet, the more you win." He shouted loudly while shaking Sic Bo.
When everyone saw it, they all placed bets. Some bet big, some bet small, some bet points, some bet leopard... each with different odds.
Xiang Nan also came over, but he didn't press it, but watched quietly first.
Soon, Xiao Feng finished shaking the dice and knocked the dice cup on the table, "Purchase it, let's go!"
When the dice cup was opened, some people cheered, some howled, some jumped for joy, and some jumped.
Xiang Nan smiled slightly, knowing that Xiao Feng was playing a trick. It was obviously the big one, but the moment he opened the dice cup, he quickly poked the dice with his fingernails and changed the number.
Because the speed was so fast, no one else noticed it. Only Xiang Nan was much better at martial arts than Xiao Feng and saw through him right away.
Xiang Nan watched it twice more and confirmed that Xiao Feng indeed liked Chu Qian.
