Chapter 1524 (●'3')~? Departure: Indian Ocean!

On the afternoon of the sixth day, after nearly a week of tossing, a certain miserable little girl and her fleet of super battleships were finally on the shore in the northeast of Jakarta, the southwest of Brunei, and the due east of Palembang. After searching for many days, I finally found the thing detailed on the map in a ruin.

That is the proof of the overlord in the Southeast Asian waters - [Kudry's permanent talisman]

It is a palm-sized piece of wood, an antique left over from the nation 'Kudri' that flourished in Indonesia from the tenth to the thirteenth centuries.

And it is said that as long as you have it, you can protect all the residents of the Spice Islands from disaster?

"Is this the proof of the overlord?"

"How to use it?"

Standing behind the two admirals, the first officer looked at the wooden sign, his heart was full of excitement.

It's all right now, the certificate of overlord that symbolizes Southeast Asia has been obtained by their Daming Li Family Chamber of Commerce, and they have just defeated the Preyla Chamber of Commerce, and the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce has also sent a letter expressing friendliness and submission. Doesn't this wooden plaque mean that their Li Family Chamber of Commerce is destined to belong?

For the first time, the first officer began to look forward to the future infinitely, and felt that the tossing of the past few days was not in vain, and it was very meaningful for them to come here to search.

"have no idea."

"However, it seems that there is indeed some kind of mysterious power..."

"Annie, can it really protect the residents of a place?"

Song Yifeng is different from ordinary people, she has practiced Taoism with her master and senior brothers on the mountain since she was a child, and she also possesses certain Taoism and a little Taoism, so she is very interested in this kind of item, and she can see it at a glance. true or false.

"A broken piece of wood!"

(ˉ▽￣～)cut~~

"If I knew this was the case, I wouldn't have looked for it..."

ε=(ο｀*)))

That's right, there are indeed some mysterious powers on this 'Kudry's Eternal Talisman', but in this world where the mysteries are fading day by day, they are just the last stubbornness that this world has condensed for this era with its last power That's all, Anne didn't think that this level of mysterious power would be of any use, it was just a kind of psychological comfort.

so……

"..."

(●)~*

Caught off guard,

When Song Yifeng and the chief mate wanted to continue to study the piece of evidence of the overlord that they found with great difficulty, Annie looked over and over for a while, and after finding that there was really nothing rare, she shook her hand and threw it away. Throw it into the brazier ahead.

"ah!"

"An, Annie?!"

"!!"

"Admiral?!"

Seeing that some bad little girl suddenly threw the wooden talisman into the brazier in the command room, Song Yifeng and the first officer were so frightened that they rushed over, before it ignited, The latte holder hurriedly rescued it again.

"call!"

"Fortunately, it's just a little blackened, and the symbols and characters on it can still be seen clearly..."

"If it's slower, it's probably going to really catch fire."

The first officer and the first officer checked it carefully, and found that there was nothing serious about the 'Kudry's Eternal Amulet' except that it was slightly scorched, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Annie!"

"How could you burn it all of a sudden?"

"We found it with great difficulty, and it is the proof of the overlord in Southeast Asia! With it, our Li Family Chamber of Commerce can rule this ocean in a legitimate way. How can you..."

While talking, Song Yifeng couldn't go on, just holding the wooden sign hundreds of years ago and staring angrily at a certain bad admiral who just suddenly threw it into the brazier.

"..."

The first officer didn't speak, but just like Song Yifeng, he looked at his fleet officer with puzzled eyes.

"it's useless!"

()

"Don't count too much on that broken wooden card. If the cannons and giant ships in your hands are not powerful enough, no matter how many certificates of overlord you have!"

(ω)

"But if you are strong enough to defeat all the enemies, even if you just find a piece of broken wood and say it is the 'proof of the overlord', those guys will definitely believe it."

(*`)

Annie didn't care about the attitudes of the two of them, she just waved her hand indifferently and explained.

If the 'mystery' of this world hasn't started to fade, or that piece of wooden sign that was chosen by the world is really useful, at least for ordinary people.

However, now that the world is about to change, it is really useless to keep the wooden sign, and it will not exert much effect. Therefore, it is better to burn it directly as firewood!

Of course, Annie would definitely not explain the above opinions to the two guys in front of her, because the two guys couldn't understand them.

"ah?"

"No!"

"Don't try to lie to me with nonsense, I know that there is a very powerful mysterious power on it, and it is the proof of the real overlord!"

Song Yifeng carefully held this centuries-old wooden amulet tightly in her arms, for fear that Annie would come over and snatch it away and burn it again.

"Then it's up to you!"

ε=(ο｀*)))

"If you like it, I will give it to you!"

╮(╯▽╰)╭

It's just a broken wooden sign with a little bit of mystery. It's not beautiful, and it can't be used to decorate the room. It's so dark, it looks a bit like a tombstone, and it looks weird. It's a broken thing, Annie will not treat it as a treasure!

Anyway, Annie is not qualified to take a second look at such broken things, let alone keep them for collection. So, since Song Yifeng likes it, she might as well give it to the other party to play with. She must not would mind.

"I don't want it!"

"But, I want to keep it and give it to sister Li Huamei when I meet her!"

She glared at Annie angrily, and then looked at the blackened area of ​​the wooden sign. Song Yifeng, who was feeling a little distressed, hurried to the side, picked up a rag, and began to wipe it carefully.

"A piece of broken wooden sign, what is there to give away..."

(^～^;)ゞ

Annie thinks that when the time comes to give these big ships that she is tired of playing and the house full of gold and silver seized from the Preyla Chamber of Commerce to that bad guy Li Huamei, maybe the other party will be more happy?

"Well……"

"The subordinate thought about it, and felt that what the admiral said was true!"

"It's still more trustworthy to have a strong ship and a sharp gun. Even if it's just a piece of wood, even if it's really a proof of overlord, it's just icing on the cake for me and the Li family's fleet, and it's not worth mentioning!"

After listening to the chief admiral's words, and then looking at the second admiral's actions, the first officer thought about it, and finally clapped his hands violently. In the end, he still felt that what their chief admiral said was more reasonable.

After all, it is impossible for him, a person of Ming Dynasty, to understand the truth of "every man is innocent and full of guilt". Therefore, after thinking about it, he still felt that what the admiral said was more profound, and that their Li family fleet should really be vigilant and peaceful at all times. Powerful military force, otherwise, once there are no strong ships and sharp guns, let alone the proof of overlord, they may not even be able to protect the commercial routes, ports and commercial stations that have been developed so far.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with what the second admiral did. After all, although such a good thing is not worth relying on, there is always nothing wrong with keeping it temporarily.

"OK!"

()

"Now that you have found the certificate of the overlord you are looking for, it is time for us to set off now. Let's go to the Indian Ocean and find sister Li Huamei and their group of idiots!"

()

Anne doesn't want to care what the two of them think. Now that the business here in Nanyang is over and the trade route has been fully opened up, why is Portugal's Malay Governor Dole Arte Lopez de Preyla already They were defeated by them, and the governor of Java in the Netherlands, Antonio van Kuen, had honestly sent a letter to surrender, and even found the certificate of overlord, so it is indeed time to set off now to find Li Huamei and those guys in the Indian Ocean up.

"yes!"

"Your subordinate will order the fleet to return to Malacca!"

Nodding his head, the first officer planned to walk out of the command room to the front command platform to issue orders.

"Why do you want to go back to Malacca?"

Σ(°△°|||)︴

"Can't we go directly to the Indian Ocean?"

(.)

Obviously, Anne was a little dissatisfied with the mate's misunderstanding of her intentions, because she didn't seem to have said that she wanted to go back to Malacca.

"this……"

Originally the first officer thought it would be good to go to Malacca to replenish and repair for a day or two, and he could also arrange some business matters in Nanyang, but he thought that the caravan composed of hundreds of large and small merchant ships and several warships seized already had the Li family. The shopkeepers of the chamber of commerce are in charge, and everything is in order. In addition, there is Captain Li, the admiral of the East China Sea, and 15 main battleships on Daming's side, so they don't seem to have anything to worry about?

"That's fine, we won't be back in Malacca this time, we can go directly to Aceh Port to resupply, and then go north to the Indian Ocean!"

After thinking about it, the first officer agreed with their chief admiral's decision. This time, he will not return to Malacca to repair supplies, but go directly north to Aceh, and then go to the Indian Ocean to see if he can catch up with them. Admiral Li Huamei, the Patriarch whom I have never seen before?

"Let's go!"

()

"Hurry up! You fools, move quickly, weigh anchor, set sail, let's set sail!"

o(*｀ー)o

"Go to the Indian Ocean now!!"

(')

Seeing that the opinions were basically unified, Anne didn't wait for the first officer to act, but rushed outside first, and then yelled at the sailors who were resting or chatting and frolicking on the deck.

Soon, as the five super battleships moored in this sea area lifted anchor one by one and raised nearly fifty sails, under the blowing of the southeast wind, they gained sufficient power, Then the slender and streamlined hull began to ride the wind and waves on the sea, constantly accelerating, and within a few minutes, it galloped towards the northeast at a speed of more than ten knots, which was terrifying compared to wooden sailboats of this era.

...

However, when Anne and her Li family's super battleship fleet with the battleship 'Xiangfeihu' as the flagship had just set sail and headed towards the Straits of Malacca, preparing to enter the Indian Ocean, Li Huamei and her Li family's fleet, He has already arrived in Africa, and is slowly sailing into the pier of Sofala, the big port in Africa, under the leadership of the boat guided in front.

"Well?"

"That is……"

Li Huamei, who was standing at the bow of the boat looking at the exotic scenery, suddenly trembled, and then looked in one direction of the pier.

"It's a Kunlun slave..."

She saw that there were many Kunlun slaves.

Regardless of men and women, they stood naked in an unloading square on the pier, their necks and arms were tied with ropes, and they were constantly scolded and pushed by the white cargo owners, and from time to time they used whips on their disobedient ones. Or the guys who couldn't understand human language were whipped desperately, trying to maintain order.

At the same time, she also saw that someone specially used an unknown white powder to sway them, until all the black slaves were sprinkled with a layer of white powder, and then they were killed. One by one, they were loaded onto a large three-masted square-sail broad-bodied ship.

"Admiral, that's the lucrative slave trade."

"In addition to gold, silver and precious stones, they are the most important specialties in Africa. If you trade between Africa and the New World, if you don't bring a boatload of black slaves on the return journey, then basically it must be a It's a losing business."

At this time, Charlie De Huisen walked to Li Huamei's side, looked at those special 'goods' for a while, then suddenly smiled and pointed and said.

"they?"

"Shouldn't it be 'they'?"

Li Huamei noticed that Charlie De Huisen seemed to use an inappropriate term in his words?

"No!"

"That's them!"

"Here, there is also the New World. In the eyes of us white people, none of their black slaves are human beings. They are just a group of goods that can walk on their own!"

Charlie De Huisen spoke haughtily.

"Besides, Admiral, do you know?"

"Their ship can hold hundreds of people. Those black slaves can only be squeezed together in the dark and damp cabin. If half of them survive to reach the New World, it is considered very good."

"And even if you can only live half or less, that is a huge profit!"

Charlie De Huisen said with some emotion and regret.

It's a pity that their Li family fleet doesn't trade in slaves, otherwise, he thinks they should be able to earn more money from this trip around the world?

Now is the time when the black slave trade is at its most prosperous, and they are the sole purpose of Europe and the New World's large-scale trade here in Africa.

In his opinion, the status of those black slaves is very low. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are goods and 'them', and even many chieftains, kings and tribal leaders in Africa are arresting them for their whites. slaves because they were the only 'best-selling' and more readily available commodities here in Africa besides gold, silver and gems.

Charlie De Huisen remembers that in the beginning, only Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands were involved in the black slave trade, but now, Britain, France, Denmark, Sweden, etc. have also participated in the black slave trade, allowing the black slave trade to expand To the west coast of Africa, the interior of Africa, and the east coast of Africa, so it is not surprising to see the black slave trade here in Sofala.

Because the planting industry in the New World is developing rapidly, and the New World is the main source of economic crops in major European countries. Therefore, the kind of goods that can walk on their own, can work, and do not need wages have become New World planters. Lord's favorite cargo.

Yes, Charlie De Huisen still stubbornly believes that those black slaves are just goods, things that can be bought and sold and measured, not people.

"..."

Li Huamei didn't speak, but frowned slightly.

She knew about Kunlun slaves for a long time. It was recorded in the ancient books of the Han Dynasty, and there were more books in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Slave, absolutely powerful, can bear hundreds of catties... black as ink, red lips and white teeth, curly and yellow hair. ’ "Ling Wai Dai Answer" said, "There are many savages on the island, their bodies are like black paint, and their fists... capture them, move them by tens of millions, and sell them as slaves to ghosts." '?

Therefore, Li Huamei actually doesn't have much resistance to the slave trade, and she doesn't even feel that there is anything wrong with Westerners wantonly owning and buying and selling Kunlun slaves. Thousands of people, disregarding the life and death of slaves, seems to be hurting the peace?

"correct!"

"What is that white powder?"

"Why would they paint them white, what does that say?"

Li Huamei, who had never been in the slave trade, looked at those Kunlun slaves who were dyed white by white powder, and couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart.

"That's lime."

"It is used to eliminate the disease. Although I don't know why it can eliminate the disease, the ship owners know that as long as they are sprinkled with lime before loading, the survival rate of the cargo will be greatly improved?"

"But how exactly, who knows..."

"Admiral, how about before we go to the New World, we also load a ship of black slaves to verify it?"

Thinking that there were still empty ships in the fleet, and feeling that there seemed to be no valuable cargo here in Africa, Charlie De Huisen suddenly smiled and proposed to Li Huamei.

"No!"

"We don't do the slave trade, this has been agreed from the beginning."

"You don't need to persuade me any more."

Shaking her head lightly, Li Huamei suddenly stopped talking.

At the same time, she also retracted her eyes and stopped looking at the slave ship that was loading black slaves, because at this time their ship was about to dock at the pier in Sofala, and she was still ready to deal with those who were already on the trestle. Dock officials waiting to collect taxes are better off.
