Chapter 1527?(*?)?Persian Cat
Two days later...
Chamenlin Afmad Nagpur, the prince and businessman of the Mughal dynasty in the Indian peninsula, saw that his own rescue fleets could not beat the Li family fleet, and his port and shore guards were also destroyed. After being beaten and fled, he almost didn't directly hang the white flag to surrender. After being hung on the mast and exposed to the wind and sun for five days and five nights, he lost at least a few dozen catties, and finally gave up very spineless. And also swear in the name of their various gods, saying that they are willing to serve the Li Family Fleet and Admiral Anne as their masters for life?
There is no way, because Chamenlin Afmad Nagpur is not a strong-willed person in the first place, he is just an upstart and a money worshiper.
In fact, he relied on luck, taking advantage of the trend of Westerners to develop India, to successfully earn a huge amount of wealth and obtain the position of the local lord of the Mughal Dynasty, and then monopolize India's trade. For those who are extremely lecherous, when encountering force majeure, it is perfectly normal to surrender and admit defeat.
In fact, as early as two days ago, Nagopur had expressed his intention to surrender many times.
But the result...
That devilish little girl, the great admiral Anne Hasta ignored her, and insisted on hanging him on the mast for two days and two nights, causing him to suffer another two days and be tortured to the bone. After a night of cold torrential rain, followed by two days of exposure to the sun, he almost died and returned to the arms of the mother of the Ganges.
But fortunately, Nagpur is grateful for:
The terrible and great Admiral Anne finally forgave him and accepted his surrender, willing Nagopur Chamber of Commerce to become a franchised chamber of commerce under the Li Family Chamber of Commerce, so that he could finally drag his hurt body and fearful mood , back to his paradise-like private house full of wine ponds and meat forests and naked dancing girls.
Therefore, after Nagpur surrendered, the ports of Madras, Ceylon, Calicut, Goa, and Karachi finally no longer had any obstacles to the Li family, allowing the Li family's caravans to travel here. Trade freely with no hindrance, and enjoy the same extremely low tax rate as the Nagpur Chamber of Commerce.
But it is a pity that the fleet led by Anne is not here for business this time, they are here to find people and open up business routes, so Nagpur is willing to 'actively' join the Li Family Chamber of Commerce and open all ports and traders Standing, it seems that it is of no great use to them?
Immediately afterwards, after accepting the Nagpur Chamber of Commerce, Anne didn't care whether the other party was sincere or false. Anyway, after their five warships were resupplied in Calicut, they set sail directly according to the clues provided by Nagpur and others. Basra in the Persian Gulf slowly sailed away.
Because the people of Nagpur said,
At the beginning, an admiral of the Li family named 'Li Huamei' did come to Calicut City and had a moderate conflict with the Nagpur Chamber of Commerce. After that, that group of people quickly led the fleet to Persia. They sailed in the direction of the Bay, and since then, they have never seen the fleet from the Ming Dynasty again.
Because the Nagpur Chamber of Commerce only controls the coast of the Indian Peninsula, and the Persian Gulf is mainly dominated by an Arab faction, the Woodin Chamber of Commerce. They have always been at odds with each other from the Mughal Dynasty in India, so there is no trade. Therefore, where Li Huamei's fleet is now and where it went, they don't know for the time being.
Therefore, little Annie had no choice but to lead her fleet of five super giant ships, flying the flags of Daming and Li's family, to stand in front of the horrified and puzzled eyes of the owners and crew of the Arabian sailboats. Next, along the west coast of the Indian Peninsula, sailed straight into the Persian Gulf.
"Great Admiral!"
"Look!"
"The city ahead should be Basra, we're almost there!"
Putting down the binoculars in his hand, he pointed to the port ahead where the rivers meet at the end of the Persian Gulf, and pointed to the big city where many sailboats docked or entered and exited at this time. While playing backgammon with Song Yifeng, the little girl dozed off while reporting to the admiral.
"Eh?"
(???.???)????
"Where is it coming, there is still so far, enough for us to play a few more rounds!"
(°-°〃)
Glancing at the outline of the city on the coastline in the distance, and then calculating the current speed of her own fleet, which is less than ten knots, Anne curled her lips and put her somewhat blurred eyes back on that On the Go board, he continued to pick up his own white chess and started fighting with Song Yifeng.
"I'm going down here!"
☆?(o*?w?)?o
Snapped!
Song Yifeng knows how to play Go, but he doesn't know who the opponent learned from, so that the opponent quickly accepted backgammon, and even today, he can play Gobang very easily?
Anyway, Annie discovered that the backgammon tactics that were always ineffective when bullying those cute little whites (such as the Tohsaka sisters and a guy like that?) suddenly didn’t work well here, so ah, now I’m in a hard fight She doesn't care about Basra or sister Li Huamei, she just wants to win the opponent's game before the board is filled with black and white twins.
"ah?"
"Are you going to Basra?"
"Is that the legendary prosperous Arabian city in the Persian Gulf?"
Song Yifeng stood up from the deck, and then looked at the direction of the fleet for a while, and found that it was indeed far away, but she could only faintly see a silhouette, she nodded, then turned around and sat in front of the coming chessboard .
"..."
?????
"Hurry up! It's your turn, hurry up, it's just a broken city, what's there to see, anyway, it's far worse than Hangzhou!"
?(ψ`▽′)o
As soon as the other party sat down, Annie couldn't wait to start urging, and told Song Yifeng to get down quickly, so as not to waste time.
"Of course you have to watch it!"
"The scenery and people in every part of the world are different, and the architectural style is also different. In addition to looking for sister Li Huamei and the others, we also have the idea of traveling around the world, so of course I want to see it! "
Snapped!
"alright!"
"Be careful, I'm three in a row!"
After Song Yifeng refuted Little Annie's words, she didn't even look at the chessboard, and directly placed a black piece next to two black pieces, making them form a line, forcing Annie to go back to defend and block, and then she Only then can we take the initiative.
"Three consecutive?"
(?????)
"Hey~!"
(ˉ▽ ̄~)cut~~
"Four companies!"
|☆?(o*?w?)?o
Crack~!
Annie slapped the white ivory chess piece directly and fiercely on the smooth chessboard made of gloomy wood, and made a very textured impact sound, and at the same time made the original three chess pieces on it form a four-column formation. situation.
"Aha! They won!!"
?*. ?(ˊ?ˋ*)??*.
Then, without waiting for the other party's reaction, Annie cheered loudly.
Because once one side of backgammon forms a four-in-a-row situation first, and the opponent does not find out and intercept it in advance in the third in a row, it will be a lore, which cannot be recovered anyway.
"!!"
"Huh?"
Song Yifeng couldn't help being startled when she saw that Annie was indeed four times in a row.
"Come!"
?(*??▽??)????
"It's agreed, the loser will have a turtle painted on his face!"
?(⊙?⊙)??
As she spoke, Annie picked up a brush, and after it was soaked in ink, she planned to paint on Song Yifeng's face.
"etc!"
However, before the pen and ink touched her face, Song Yifeng hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop it.
"It's not right!"
"Annie!"
"There were no three chess pieces here before, I remember they only had two!"
"I see, you actually cheated!!"
Song Yifeng just looked at the chessboard for a while, and soon she saw a trick, and angrily wanted to take the brush from Annie's hand.
"!!"
!(;?o?)o
"Don't talk nonsense! Where did they cheat, do you have evidence? This is obviously because you didn't pay attention to your own chess, and then you want to deny it when you lose!"
o(*`ー′)o
How could Chief Admiral Annie cheat? She definitely wouldn't admit that kind of thing easily. Besides, the other party really had no evidence, so while avoiding Song Yifeng's hand, she still wanted to go to the other party's hand. The chubby face, which was a little tanned and rosy, was drawn away.
"evidence!"
"Of course I have evidence!"
"look!"
Standing aside with her waist in her arms, Song Yifeng pointed directly at the chessboard angrily.
"??"
(???.???)????
"That's just a chessboard, not evidence, and it can't speak!"
(??w??)
Anne is very sure that when the other party looked at Basra just now, she absolutely did not see what she did, because the other party's eyes cannot grow on the back of the head, and the first officer just did not pay attention to what she did, so, Regardless of whether it is personal or physical evidence, the other party has none!
(…)
(● ̄? ̄●)
"Aha!"
"Don't tell me, the chessboard can talk!"
"If you don't believe me, see for yourself!"
However, to the surprise of the confident little Annie, Song Yifeng also confidently pointed to the chessboard again.
"??"
く(^_?)ゝ
Looking at the chessboard and then at Song Yifeng, Annie obviously didn't know what the opponent wanted to do.
"You count the number of white pieces and the number of black pieces yourself!"
Song Yifeng didn't answer, but angrily motioned for little Annie to count the pieces on the chessboard by herself.
"Count and count!"
?(?`^′?)?
Isn't it just counting chess pieces? Annie can count that kind of thing in less than ten seconds!
"Thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two..."
!(;?o?)o
"ah!!"
━(?Δ?∥)━ン
Finally, Annie quickly realized what the other party meant by saying that the chessboard could talk, because ah, when she was making small moves just now, she seemed to have forgotten some very important things?
"Ha ha!"
"You have nothing to say now?"
"My black chess is the first move, that is to say, just after you made that move, we should have the same number of pieces, but look now, and your white chess can never be more than my black chess , but look, your white chess has thirty-two pieces, while mine has only thirty-one black pieces, how dare you say you didn't cheat?!"
Putting her waist in, Song Yifeng smiled triumphantly.
This is backgammon, not Go, and there is no such situation of "capturing pieces". Therefore, the number of pieces on both sides can be calculated. If there is any cheating, you only need to count the pieces on both sides. Both failed, so now it's time for her, Song Yifeng, to draw a big turtle on the face of a bad little girl with a brush to avenge her yesterday!
"that……"
('~`●)
"Why is there an extra chess piece? When did it accidentally fall into it?"
(‘???`)
Annie stretched out her hand, picked up a white chess piece from a corner, from an insignificant place, and then looked at Song Yifeng.
"look!"
?(????)?
"Now the number is correct, you are the loser!!"
(?  ̄?  ̄?) Hey!
First, without blushing and heartbeat, Annie threw the white ivory chess piece straight into the round big-bellied chess jar, then Annie looked shamelessly at the stunned Song Yifeng.
"!!"
"Damn guy!"
Song Yifeng directly grabbed another brush, then dabbed ink indiscriminately, intending to paste it on Annie's face.
"Wow!"
!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ
"You talk nonsense! It's just a pawn that accidentally fell into it, so I didn't lose!"
(??ˇεˇ??)
"in spite of!"
"Anyway, if you cheat, you lose, so stop and let me draw one!!"
After speaking, Song Yifeng rushed forward.
"No!!"
-=????=?????(′Д`)?
While waving the pen in her hand, Annie fled in despair, without any intention of admitting it at all.
"stop!"
"You stop for me!!"
"I'm not going to draw a turtle. I'll draw you as a Persian cat, right?"
"Stop!"
Soon, the admirals, one big and one small, began to frolick around on the battleship "Xiangfeihu".
While laughing and playing, they also sprinkled ink everywhere, chasing and hitting the ship directly from the stern to the bow, and from the bow to the stern, making the two of them and many innocent crew, sailors and gunners A lot of black ink was thrown on his body and face, but he didn't dare to control or scold, so he stood aside innocently and watched

...
While Little Annie and the others' fleet were heading towards Basra, at St. George's Port on the west coast of Africa, Li Huamei and the others were preparing to leave after resupply, heading north to the Mediterranean Sea and the North Sea.
"Admiral!"
"We have already taught that Espinosa Chamber of Commerce a lesson, and sank several of their slave ships in artillery battles one after another. Now why don't we rush to defeat them in one fell swoop, why do we want to leave Africa instead? "
Li Huamei's subordinate, Xingjiu Baimu watched the fleet slowly sailing out of St. George's port, and then looked at this huge continent. He couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved and asked their admiral Li Huamei.
"No way."
"Xingjiu, they are local snakes, and we are dragons crossing the river, just beat them and let them know how powerful we are!"
"And if it continues, causing them to dispatch more armed merchant ships to retaliate, and even make them resort to their Spanish and Portuguese navies, then we will be in trouble."
"We can't keep spending time with each other here, don't go to the Mediterranean Sea, the North Sea, or the New World, right?"
"Besides, our ship can't stand consumption, so don't be careless!"
Shaking her head, although Li Huamei really wanted to teach that unscrupulous businessman Gianlonimo de Espinosa who declared war on their Li Family Chamber of Commerce and was mainly engaged in slave trade, drug trafficking, and illegal hunting, a profound lesson, but, Thinking that this is Africa, far away from the territory of Ming Dynasty, and thinking that she might not be able to replenish new ships here, she has no choice but to decide to leave as soon as it is good, and temporarily avoid the enemy's edge, and go to the Mediterranean Sea and the North Sea first to have a look. .
"That's right!"
"I completely agree with the admiral's opinion!"
"Long time..."
"Their strength is not bad, and they have a lot of ships. We shouldn't get too entangled with them."
At this time, Yi'an Dukov, another follower of Li Huamei, also stepped forward to persuade her.
"That's right!"
"It's enough to beat them. If you continue to fight, the situation may continue to escalate. In this unfamiliar Africa, we must not mess around."
The mature and prudent Yang Xi'en spoke up. He obviously didn't want to die with a local snake force in this remote Africa in such an unaccompanied place, because there were too many uncertain factors, and they really couldn't bear it. risks of unknowns and failures.
This is just like the situation when Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony. Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, could lose all the time, but as long as the overlord of Chu loses once, he will lose everything directly!
And now, the situation of their Li Family Chamber of Commerce is the same as that of Chu Overlord. Although they have defeated Espinosa's ships in several confrontations and even sunk a lot, once their Li Family Chamber of Commerce will lose , then it's really over.
Because they only have such a few ships, they are here to travel around the world and do ocean trade and seek to develop and grow, not to fight the Westerners.
"alright!"
"Stop talking, let's go!"
"I hope that Gianlonimo de Espinosa will be more sensible after receiving my personal letter, and stop making troubles?"
"Let's go!"
"Go back to your posts. We are going north to the Mediterranean Sea. I don't know what's going on there. Everyone cheer up!"
Clapping her hands, Li Huamei signaled that this matter is over, there is no need to continue the discussion, and began to urge everyone to disperse and go about their own affairs.
"yes!"
"yes!"
"Obey!"
Seeing that the decision had been made, the people who felt that there was no problem agreed to it, and quickly returned to their posts. Then these large and medium-sized blessing boats were blown by the southeast wind, and their sails were inflated. Start to accelerate towards the north.
