Chapter 1524: (●?三｀)~? Departure: Indian Ocean!

On the afternoon of the sixth day, after nearly a week of tossing, a certain wretched little girl and her super battleship fleet were finally in the northeast of Jakarta, the southwest of Brunei, and the shore due east of Palem. After searching for many days, I finally found something detailed on the map in a ruin.
That is the proof of the overlord of the Southeast Asian waters-[Kudry’s Permanent Talisman]
It is a palm-sized piece of wood, an antique left over from the country'Kudri' that prospered in Indonesia in the tenth to 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?
"This is the proof of the overlord?"
"How to use it?"
Standing behind the two admirals, the first officer looked at the wooden sign, and his heart was full of excitement.
Now it’s alright. The card symbolizing the overlord of Southeast Asia was obtained by their Daming Lijia Chamber of Commerce. In addition, they have just defeated the Preyla Chamber of Commerce. The Kuhn Chamber of Commerce has also witty letters to express kindness and surrender. Doesn't this wooden sign mean that their Li Family Chamber of Commerce is the destiny?
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 search here.
"do not know."
"However, it seems that there really is some kind of mysterious power..."
"Annie, can it really protect the residents of a place?"
Song Yifeng is different from ordinary people. She has cultivated Taoism with her master and brother since she was a child, and she also possesses certain Taoism and some Taoism, so she is very interested in this kind of object and can see it at a glance. The true and false come.
"A piece of broken wood!"
(ˉ▽￣～) Cut~~
"If I knew this was the case, I won't look for it..."
ε=(ο｀))) alas
Yes, there are some mysterious powers on this'Kudry's Permanent Talisman', but in this world where the mystery is fading away, they are just the last stubbornness that the world has condensed for this era with the last power. However, Annie didn't think that this level of mysterious power could be of any use, it was just a psychological comfort.
so……
"..."
(●)~
Unprepared, when Song Yifeng and the first mate wanted to continue to study the overlord’s evidence that they had finally found, Annie looked at it over and over again, and after realizing that there was nothing rare, she waved her hand. , Threw it into the brazier in front.
"Ah!"
"Ann, Annie?!"
"!!!"
"Grand Admiral?!"
Seeing that a messy little girl suddenly threw the wooden sign talisman into the brazier in the command room to boil water, so frightened Song Yifeng and the first officer rushed over, before it burned. The latte hurriedly rescued him again.
"call!"
"Fortunately, it's just burned a little bit darker, and the marks and words above can still be seen..."
"If you slow down, I guess it will really start to burn."
They looked at it with the first mate and found that there was nothing serious about the "Kudry's Permanent Talisman" except that it was burnt a little bit, and the two of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Annie!"
"How could you suddenly burn it?"
"It was hard for us to find, and it is a testament to the overlord in Southeast Asia! With it, our Lijia Chamber of Commerce can justly rule this ocean, how can you..."
As he spoke, Song Yifeng couldn't go on, just holding the wooden sign hundreds of years ago and staring angrily at some bad admiral who had just thrown it into the brazier.
"..."
The first officer did not speak, but just like Song Yifeng, he looked at his fleet commander with that puzzled look.
"It's useless!"
()
"You still don't count on that broken wooden card too much. If the cannons and giant ships in your hand are not powerful enough, no matter how many overlord certificates you have, it will be useless!"
(ω)
"But if you are powerful enough to defeat all enemies, even if you randomly find a piece of broken wood and say that it is the'Proof of Overlord', those guys will definitely believe it."
(`)
Annie didn't care about the attitude of the two of them, just waved indifferently and explained.
If the ‘mystery’ of this world has not begun to fade, or if that piece comes into being, the wooden sign chosen by the world is really useful, at least for ordinary people.
However, now the world is about to change. It is really useless to keep the wooden sign, and it will not be able to exert much effect. Therefore, it is better to burn it directly!
Of course, Annie would definitely not explain the above views to the two guys in front of her, because they didn't understand them either.
"what?"
"Do not!"
"Don't want to lie to me by talking nonsense, I know that there are very powerful mysterious powers on it, and it is the proof of the real tyrant!"
Song Yifeng carefully hugged this wooden amulet with hundreds of years of history in his arms, for fear that Annie would come over to it and burn it again.
"Then it's up to you!"
ε=(ο｀))) alas
"If you like it, I will give it to you!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
It's just a broken wooden sign with a little bit of mystery. It doesn't look pretty and can't be used to decorate the room. It's dark, it looks a bit like a tombstone and looks weird. A tattered thing, so Annie won't treat it as a treasure!
Anyway, that kind of broken thing is not qualified to give Annie a second look, let alone keep it in the collection. So, since Song Yifeng likes it, she can just give it to the other party for fun. She is definitely not. Would mind.
"I don't want it!"
"But, I want to keep it, and give it to her when I meet Li Huamei!"
Angrily glared at Annie, and then looked at the place where the wooden sign was roasted black. Song Yifeng, who looked strangely distressed, hurriedly walked aside and picked up a rag and began to wipe it carefully.
"A broken wooden sign, what can I give away..."
(^～^;)ゞ
Annie thinks, when the time comes to give these big ships she's tired of playing and the house full of gold and silver seized from the Preyla Chamber of Commerce to the bad guy Li Huamei, maybe the other party will be even more happy?
"Well……"
"The subordinates thought about it, and felt that what the chief admiral said was quite true!"
"It's still more trustworthy to build ships and guns. It's just a wooden sign. Even if it's really a testament to the overlord, it's just icing on the cake for me and the Li family fleet, and it's not worth it!"
After listening to the chief admiral, and looking at what the second admiral did, the chief officer thought for a while, and finally gave him a high-five. In the end, he still felt that their chief admiral was more reasonable.
After all, it’s impossible for him to understand the principle of
Piff’s innocence and guilty of his guilt
. Therefore, after careful consideration, he still feels that the Grand Admiral’s words are more profound. They should always be vigilant and vigilant in the Li family fleet. Strong force, otherwise, once there are no strong ships and sharp artillery, let alone the evidence of overlords, they may not even be able to protect the trade routes, ports and commercial stations that have been opened up.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with the second admiral's approach. After all, although a piece of good stuff is not worth relying on, there is always nothing wrong with keeping it for the time being.
"OK!"
()
"Now that the proof of the overlord you are looking for has been found, then we should also set off now. Let's go to the Indian Ocean and look for sister Li Huamei and their idiots!"
()
Annie didn’t want to worry about what the two of them thought. Now that the business here in Nanyang is finished and the trade route has been completely opened up, what’s more, Portugal’s Malay Governor Doyle Lopez Di Preira has already They were defeated, and the Dutch governor of Guava, Antonio Van Kuhn, has sincerely written to surrender, and even found the proof of the overlord. It is indeed time to set off now and go to the Indian Ocean to find Li Huamei and those guys. NS.
"Yes!"
"The subordinates hereby give an order to let the fleet return to Malacca!"
Nodded, the first officer planned to walk out of this command room to the front podium to issue orders.
"Why go back to Malacca?"
Σ(°△°

)︴
"Can't you go directly to the Indian Ocean?"
(.)
Obviously, Annie was a bit dissatisfied with the first officer's misunderstanding of her intentions, because she didn't seem to have said that she was going back to Malacca.
"this……"
The first officer thought that it would be good to go to Malacca for a day or two to supply and repair, and could also arrange some matters related to Nanyang business, 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, everything is in order, and there is also Captain Li, the Admiral of the East China Sea and 15 main battleships on Daming's side. They seem to have nothing to worry about?
"That's okay, we won't go back to Malacca to stop this time, we can go directly to Aceh Port to supply supplies, 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 go back to Malacca to repair supplies. Instead, he will go north to Aceh and then to the Indian Ocean to see if he can catch up with them. That Patriarch Admiral Li Huamei that you haven't seen?
"Let's go!"
()
"Hurry up! You idiots, hurry up, anchor, set sail, let's set sail!"
o(｀ー)o
"Go to the Indian Ocean now!!"
(｀)
Seeing that they had basically agreed, Annie didn't wait for the chief officer to act, but rushed outside first, and then screamed softly at the sailors who were resting or chatting on the deck.
Soon, as the five super battleships moored in this sea area anchored one by one and raised nearly fifty sails, they gained sufficient power under the blow of the southeast wind. Then the slender and streamlined hull began to ride the wind and waves on the sea, accelerating continuously, and in less than a few minutes, at a speed exceeding ten knots, which is very terrifying compared to the wooden sailing boats of this era, it galloped toward the northeast.
...
However, when Annie and her Li family super battleship fleet with the battleship "Xiang Feihu" as the flagship had just set sail towards the Malacca Strait and were about to enter the Indian Ocean, Li Huamei and her Li family fleet, but He has already arrived in Africa, and is slowly sailing into the dock of the African port of Sofala under the leadership of the small boat guided in front.
"Well?"
"That is……"
Suddenly, Li Huamei, who was standing on the bow of the ship and looking at the exotic, suddenly felt stunned, and then looked towards the pier in one direction.
"It's Kunlun slave..."
She saw that there were many Kunlun slaves there.
Both men and women, standing naked in an unloading plaza at the pier, tied with ropes to their necks and arms, and constantly yelled and pushed by the white cargo owners, and from time to time they used whips on their disobedient. Or the guys who don't understand humans lash out desperately, trying to maintain order.
At the same time, she also saw that someone specially used a kind of white powder that did not know what it was sprayed on their bodies until all the black slaves were sprinkled with a layer of white powder, and then they were One by one, they were loaded onto a large three-masted square-sail wide-body ship.
"Admiral, that is the lucrative slave trade."
"In addition to gold, silver and gems, they are the most important specialties here in Africa. If you trade between Africa and the New World without a ship of black slaves on your return journey, then they will basically be one. Trading at a loss."
At this time, Charlie Huisen walked to Li Huamei's side, and after looking at the special ‘goods’ for a while, he suddenly chuckled and pointed and said.
"they?"
"Should it be'them'?"
Li Huamei noticed that in Charlie Huisen's words, it seems that an inappropriate term was used?
"Do not!"
"It's them!"
"Here, there is the New World. In the eyes of us white people, all of their black slaves are not humans, they are just a bunch of goods that can walk on their own!"
Charlie Huisen said proudly.
"Besides, Admiral, do you know?"
"Their boat can hold hundreds of people. Those black slaves can only squeeze together in the dark and humid cabin. Those who can live to the New World, half of them are considered very good."
"And even if you can only live half or less, that's a huge profit!"
Charlie Huisen said with some emotion and regret.
It's a pity that their Li family fleet doesn't do the slave trade. Otherwise, he thinks they should make more money on this journey around the world?
At the time when the black slave trade was most prosperous, they were the sole purpose of Europe and the New World for large-scale trade with 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 chief kings and tribal leaders in Africa are arresting their whites. The black slaves, because they are the only'best-selling' and easier-to-obtain commodities besides gold, silver and gems here in Africa.
Charlie Huisen remembers that at the beginning, only Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands were involved in the slave trade. Now, Britain, France, Denmark, Sweden, etc. have all participated in the slave trade to expand the black slave trade. To the west coast of Africa and the inland of Africa, and the east coast of Africa, it is not surprising to see the slave trade here in Sofala.
Because now the plantation industry in the New World is developing rapidly, and the New World is the main source of cash crops in major European countries, the kind of goods that can walk on their own and work without salary has become the New World plantations. The Lord’s favorite goods.
Yes, Charlie Huisen still stubbornly believes that those black slaves are just goods, things that can be bought and sold and valued, not people.
"..."
Li Huamei did not speak, but frowned slightly.
She had known about Kunlun slaves for a long time. There were records in ancient books in the Han Dynasty, and there were more books in the Tang and Song Dynasties. For example, the ancient book "Pingzhou Ke Tan" said:'Guangzhou rich people have more ghosts. Slave, extremely powerful, can bear hundreds of catties...The color is as black as ink, the lips are red and the teeth are white, and the hair is curly and yellow. "Ling Wai Dai Da" said, "There are many savages on the island, the body is like black paint, fists... ’?
Therefore, Li Huamei did not actually have much resistance to the slave trade, and did not even feel that there was anything wrong with the Westerners' large-scale possession and sale of Kunlun slaves. He just felt that the white people would squeeze hundreds of people into a boat for profit. Thousands of people, regardless of the life and death of slaves, seem to be a bit hurtful?
"correct!"
"What are those white powder?"
"Why do they paint them white, what's the point?"
Li Huamei, who had never been in contact with the slave trade, looked at the Kunlun slaves who had been dyed white by white powder, and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.
"That's lime."
"It is used to eliminate the disease. Although I don't know exactly why the disease can be eliminated, the shipowners know that as long as the cargo is sprinkled with lime before loading, the survival rate of the cargo can be improved a lot?"
"But how about it~EbookFREE.me~ who knows..."
"Admiral, or else, before we go to the New World, we also load a ship of black slaves to verify it?"
Thinking that there are empty ships in the fleet, and that there seems to be no valuable goods in Africa, Charlie Huisen suddenly smiled and proposed to Li Huamei.
"Do not!"
"We don't do the slave trade. This is what we said at the beginning."
"You don't need to persuade anymore."
Shaking her head gently, Li Huamei suddenly stopped talking.
At the same time, she also retracted her gaze and stopped looking at the slave ship that was loading black slaves, because at this time their ship was about to reach the dock in Sofala, she was still ready to deal with those already on the trestle bridge. Terminal officials waiting to collect taxes are better.
