Undoubtedly, during this time, the two sides also had more in-depth exchanges.

Gu Jin told Pimont that they will soon go to Macau to do trade, and if all goes well, it should be sometime at the end of the year, when we will bring all kinds of trade goods, including the glassware you are holding in your hand now.

Pimont said on the spot that he would try to repay the help of the Australians, and that he would do his best to influence your country's business there if there was a chance to meet in Macau.

In addition, he will return to Timor with an army to restore order on the island, and at that time, the promising cooperation between our two sides on the island will create many miracles.

Obviously, the miracle that Pimont was referring to was the trade of the Australians, and under Gu Jin's introduction, he had already seen the Australian sugar, sweet potato spirits, glass mirrors and glassware, in addition, a small bottle of a sample of five-spice powder from the old world......

On the morning of the fifth day, the repair work of the Dawn and the Casa Princess was finally completed, and the two sides had reached their separate time, and that morning, all the officers and sailors on the Casa Princess and the Dawn, after enjoying the sumptuous breakfast provided by the Nicole, Pimont's fleet and Gu Jin's fleet sailed away from this unknown bay in turn amid the farewell flags and the sound of cannons.

The repaired and strengthened Pimont fleet will take advantage of the southeast trade winds to sail northwest, and he plans to cross the Java Sea, then follow the northward current, sail along the west coast of Kalimantan, and then enter the South China Sea to reach the port of Jiading in Annam to resupply.

Then along the coastline of Annam to the southern coastal area of the mainland, the target port is Macau, the route chosen by Pimont made Gu Jin nod frequently, from the perspective of a veteran of sea running, Pimont and Captain Phillips are indeed experienced sea runners. Because this route is the smoothest and safest route in the South Seas in the sail era, fewer islands and deep and wide seas are also the best way to avoid pirates.

However, Nicole and Pride can completely ignore the wind direction and currents, and do not worry about those oarrow pirate ships that infest the islands, Gu Jin's fleet will first enter the Banda Sea northeast after leaving the small bay, and then go directly north to the Maluku Islands, and plan to land in the northeast corner of Sulawesi, where there is a famous port and tourist attraction in the South Sea waters of the Old World, called Manado, or Manado, Gu Jin has not forgotten the previous unfinished exploration mission.

At this point, the "first contact" between the Australian Commonwealth and the outside world came to an end......

As early as the night when Pimont first boarded the Pride, a long telegram was sent to Mornington Island reporting what had just happened here, and the Red Mansion was boiling over when he got the news.

Of course, the reason why everyone is boiling is not because of the victory in the naval battle, the victory in the naval battle is a matter of course, the people in the Red Mansion have the same idea as Gu Jin and Li Sanduo, this is the best time for us to contact the Portuguese, and the whole incident can be described in one sentence - if you want to fall asleep, someone will send a pillow.

So, in the conference room on the fifth floor that night, everyone gathered again and talked enthusiastically about possible business opportunities.

"We've finally found an ally in the New World."

"It seems that our trade route can at least go directly to Macau!"

"If Pimont takes Timor, we should set up a trading post there to sell sugar, wine, and glass mirrors!"

"Attention, the five-spice powder business that Captain Gu said is also very important......"

Lao Wang reminded everyone proudly beside him.

"We need an immigration and demographic strategy! Demand immediate action! ”

"Need to study the island of Timor......"

"With Zixia Island, it is obvious that this is a layout of great strategic significance!"

Well, that's the voice of a few young people at the Firepit Club.

"So, we need to assist Pimont in restoring order to the port of Dili! This is the premise of all business. ”

A couple of older guys are also making comments......

In addition to these discussions, Xia Xiaoou, Cheng Fangfang and other ladies also carefully went to the reference room to check the historical materials, hoping to find information about the young Timor governor in the materials, after all, this Pimont is also a local historical figure.

Unexpectedly, this search was really found! In a certain historical archive of the Portuguese East India Company in the Old World and in the notes of several local missionaries, there is a record of the Governor of Timor!

Nicole's computer library for the time-travelers is really powerful.

So, at eleven o'clock in the middle of the night that day, a longer telegram was sent from the Red Chamber to Nicole, and after the telegram was sent, Xiao Fei's wrists were tired.

The main content of the telegram was about the historical saga of Pimont in the Old World.

First of all, this is a real historical fact that happened in the Old World.

In the archives of the headquarters of the Portuguese-Indian Company and the Viceroyalty of the island of Timor, there is a legendary record of this Pimont Lord.

The telegram from the Red Chamber emphasized that it was clear that we had changed Pimont's personal destiny at a critical juncture, and that perhaps this little butterfly wing could fundamentally change the course of history.

Here's a storied history of the legendary Governor in the Old World:

Pimont. Sangos. Henry, the son of a Portuguese nobleman, was a descendant of Prince Henry, a famous seafaring pioneer in the Kingdom of Portugal more than 100 years ago, and his father was an assistant to the Portuguese governor in Goa, India, and later became the commander of the Diu fleet.

When Pimont was almost ten years old, Pimont Sr. was killed in a battle with the local king, and Pimont the Younger was said to have been adopted by the governor of Goa.

According to records, this person later appeared in Macau, where he was very active, he served as secretary and trade representative to the former governor of Macau, and was familiar with many Chinese languages.

It is said that he is very suave and suave, and he is a well-known gentleman in the Macau social circle.

Of course, it is obviously a compliment to say that he is a gentleman, in fact, Pimont is a playboy in Macau's high social circle, very popular with women, but this person is different from ordinary gentlemen, he is very social, and became a navigator at a young age, has traveled to many places in the South Seas, including many ports in the Ming Dynasty, can speak French, and in addition, has a fluent Nanjing Mandarin.

At the age of twenty-five, Pimont accepted the appointment of the Governor of Timor, which had been given to him by the Portuguese-Indian Company.

It turned out to be a major turning point in his life, and since then his life path has been full of legends, twists and turns, and tragicomedy of all kinds.

Five years earlier, in 1653, when the old Timor Governor had died of illness and the island had begun to struggle for power and civil strife, a Portuguese indigenous mestizo named Orne had risen up, who had become Pimont's lifelong enemy throughout the history of the Old World.

In the Old World, Pimont suffered his first major setback in the bay of camphor, the bay where the Pride took shelter, his ship was destroyed by the pursuit fleet sent by Ornet, he and his crew finally fled to the wilderness of Timor Island, and after fighting with nature in the primeval forest for half a year, he finally stole a small sampan and escaped from Timor Island, by this time, there were only six people left with him, and after all kinds of hardships, these people finally escaped from Timor Island after three years. Returned to Macau like a beggar.

At this time, Macau was fully supporting the Diu trading post, which had fought hard against the British and indigenous Indians, and had no time to take care of Pimont, who had already lost all his money and returned like a flower child.

It was not until sixteen years later, in 1673, when Ornet took full control of Timor and began to openly separate from the Portuguese, that the Portuguese and Indian governors, who had recovered from the crisis in Diu, finally thought of recovering Timor.

So the Governor of Pimont, who had lived in Macao for many years, was finally financed again, and he was given about two ships and more than a hundred musketeers, and was promised help from the Dutch in Batavia.

However, Pimont's bad luck did not end, outside the port of Timor, Pimont suffered a second naval defeat, and the Dutch did not fulfill their promise at the critical moment, Pimont was forced to leave the port of Timor again, and the pride of the nobility made him feel that he had no shame to return to Macau, so he wandered the waters off the island of Timor with his Dawn and his crew.

Eventually, forced by life, he became a pirate who lived by plundering, robbing not only the Timorese caravans of Orne, but also the Dutch trading ships to the port of Timor.

Thus, what had been a counterinsurgency war between the Portuguese governor and the rebels turned into a personal war against Pimont's enemies, and Pimont became violent, and his enemies were not only Ornet, but also the Dutch and other maritime merchants, and all those who had trade with the island......
