During this period of time, Xu Yun and Lin Ge could not say that they had gained nothing on this ocean. At least they had basically figured out the spheres of influence of the major pirate gangs. Lin Ge had drawn these on a map that only he could
They understand the navigation map. So they basically know the route to the location of the main island controlled by the Shark Gang.
The Phantom fell into the hands of the Shark Gang, which would make Xu Yun uneasy regardless of good or bad luck. Naka did not have a good image in Xu Yun's consciousness, because he had already preconceived it. The Shark Gang is the most evil-doing one in this place.
The gang, compared with the slightly benevolent approach of the White Whale Group, seems even worse.
A large part of the reason why Naka has always been unconvinced by Qiu Heng is due to this aspect. Naka feels that the world is as dark as crows! Since they are all pirates, don't pretend to be like some knight. He looks down on him.
Qiu Heng thinks that Qiu Heng is hypocritical, pretentious, and a villain who dares to do things but not live up to them.
And Qiu Heng also looked down on Naka, thinking that Naka was a guy with no principles, no bottom line, no integrity, and no grace at all. A pirate should also have pirate rules, and he shouldn't have no rules at all. There is a saying:
Thieves also have their own ways. Although it is not appropriate to use them on them, it should be okay to use them if they have their own rules and regulations, right?
There are too many unscrupulous stories about Naka. Pirates have the basic rules of pirates, and they are not on the same level as thieves on land. Bandits on land can be a voluntary organization among the people. A few
Brother, as long as you don't learn well, and then agree to pick up a few big blades, I will drive this road and plant this tree, then you can start a business, but pirates are definitely not that simple. And Naka did some
Things, sometimes, are like petty thieves and have no rules.
The origins of pirates are often bizarre. For example, you can see an organization in the United Nations called the Knights of Malta. This is not a country, but it is an organization that enjoys similar treatment as a country. It was the leader of the Crusades in the Middle Ages.
A remnant. The Knights of Malta used to fight pirates in the late Middle Ages. Of course, their pirates were called religious pirates, which meant they could not move Christian ships. If you were a Muslim ship, they would kill you! This
It's something that breaks out from mainstream society.
So don’t think of pirates as a kind of maritime robbers that spontaneously arise among the people. They are the product of the rupture of mainstream society. Qiu Heng agrees with this, but Nagorno-Karabakh does not. Because the Shark Gang of Nagorno-Karabakh belongs to the private sector.
They are a kind of spontaneous sea robbers, so they even spend most of their time on the islands they occupy instead of wandering in the ocean.
This is perhaps the biggest difference between Naka and Qiu Heng. In a sense, Qiu Heng is a pirate in the orthodox sense who abides by the Roberts Code, while Naka is a type of pirate that is more like a bandit.
Some people don’t know what the Roberts Code is. It’s a long story. The pirate society is actually different from what ordinary people imagine. For example, it is a very well-regulated society. Pirate ships have their own power generators, among which the most famous
During the golden age of piracy, there was a book called the Roberts Code. Roberts was also a great pirate. He set many rules, so orthodox pirates followed the Roberts Code.
For example, everyone has equal voting rights in all daily affairs, those who steal the property of their friends will be abandoned on a desert island, gambling on the ship is strictly prohibited, children are not allowed on the ship, those who seduce women will die, those who escape from battle will die, etc.
The rules, etc., are all rules that pirates must follow.
These rules do not exist on Naka’s ships. Naka will even bring women to do all kinds of outrageous things on the ship. This is a very shameful behavior for pirates! Since ancient times, in large ports or coastlines where ships can park, they often
There is a group of delinquent women engaged in their kind of meat-selling work, and most of their customers, except for the men on long-term merchant ships who have been sailing for a long time and finally getting off the shore to see women, are those pirates who abide by the rules.
Of course, there are also some rules that have gradually been eliminated. It is better to say that they have been eliminated than that they have been destroyed. For example, in order to prevent fires, no open flames are allowed in the cabin after eight o'clock in the evening. If you want to drink, you must go to the deck.
Drink and wait, because fire extinguishers are much more advanced now than they were back then.
Qiu Heng's people respect him, not because of his pressure. He is where he is today because everyone elected him. He boarded this pirate ship back then because the old captain followed the Roberts Code! There is another person in this democratic system.
The characteristic is that the captain does not have much dignity, and his subordinates can rush up to him and steal his wine.
When Qiu Heng first joined the White Whale Group, their ship was more orthodox. In addition to the captain, there was also a serious role called the helmsman, also called the chief executive. Such a person has very great power. You
For example, distributing spoils of war, distributing food and wine in daily life, handling some conflicts between pirates, and arbitrating disputes are all his powers.
Before Qiu Heng took the position, he also held the position of helmsman. Because the old captain valued him highly, he was given such an important position. It can be said that apart from daily battles, he was the top leader on the ship. So much so that he is still
Manage everything yourself.
After Qiu Heng took over, the person who took on this role was originally Mo Tai. However, due to Qiu Heng's majesty and the fact that he was already used to doing all this, Mo Tai was nominally the helmsman, but in fact it was Qiu Heng who said everything.
Forget it. Regarding this concentration of power, although Qiu Heng felt that there were some bad rules, he could only lament that this was an inevitable change with the development of the times.
Regarding the dictatorship of pirates, we have to talk about Naka. Putting aside Naka’s bandit-like background. His pirate ships are more like those in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries who were under the protection of upright laws and did business seriously.
, also a merchant ship sailing on the ocean.
Yes, you read that right, that is to say, merchant ships. On merchant ships at that time, it was definitely a dictatorial world for the captain. Not only could he deduct the wages of the crew at will, but he could also tamper with the food.
It is very normal to eat and drink so much that the crew members are hungry!
Moreover, the captain also has the power to arbitrarily corporally punish the crew members, that is, to beat them, and they can beat them to death. For many people, if you want to resist, if you want to interfere with the captain's power of corporally punishing the crew members, the captain can directly identify you as such
This behavior is called rebellion, and even if you go ashore, you will be hanged!
Most people can only see the surface of things. In fact, many things are different from what they imagined. The pirate ship that was originally full of blood had a peaceful atmosphere, but the merchant ship that was supposed to be a bright and prosperous merchant ship was full of that kind of atmosphere.
Breeding blood. This was the maritime era.
The remnants of these eras still exist today and are constantly changing.
Although Naka is not a merchant ship, he has followed the methods of the dictatorial world on merchant ships. All power is in his hands, and he can do whatever he wants, but he does not know that this approach will sooner or later lead to his demise.
But Qiu Heng hopes that he can follow the final rules and prevent the White Whale Group from embarking on the path that will inevitably lead to destruction. He admires the old captain back then and admires the white-haired dad now, because they all abide by the rules.
Human. Therefore, he will definitely be a rule-abiding person.
These are two different development routes, which will inevitably lead to conflicts. Xu Yun can be treated like a guest on Qiu Heng's ship, but he directly breaks into the territory of Naka. He doesn't know what is waiting for him. Qiu Heng will order people
Keeping up is also worrying about the unknown things.
