In the vast expanse of the Atlantic, blue and white medium gunboats floated aimlessly, and pirates wearing Persian chain mail and Ottoman chain mail and swords under their masts shouted loudly, pushing the sail winch and slowly raising the heavy butterfly sails.

Several flying shark gunboats roamed in the distance, looking like blue dots between the sea and the sky, a protective color similar to Qi Jiguang's tent wall, which would protect them from pursuing their prey at a closer distance.

The wreckage of armed merchant ships and the wooden crates of the ships that had been dropped during the flight were floating on the sea, and the smoke and smell of blood had not yet dissipated over the sea, and the pirates, clutching the ropes and hammers, jumped into the sea shirtless, and together with their accomplices on board, dragged the floating cargo boxes to the ship.

They must move quickly, otherwise the strong smell of blood will attract predators in the sea.

The soldiers kicked open the box, grinned and took out a few glass bottles filled with golden liquid, wiped the water stains on them with their sleeves, and held the wine bottles to the leader who sat on the cannon and looked up at the sky, Yang Ce, the most outstanding pirate general of the Han Kingdom.

After the Han were canonized by the Great Emperor and retaliated by burning Safi's coastal towns in the Persian Gulf, the Han on the island of Madagascar was unrivaled in the Indian Ocean, except for a few pirate kings, some of whom were detached.

Because Wanli only canonized Lin Feng alone.

However, the canonization of the Son of Heaven has never been a false name, at least in Lin Feng's case, it means real benefits.

All the kings were inseparable from Lin Feng, because Yin Zhengmao only carried out fixed-point and regular trade with the Han State canonized by the Son of Heaven, and the location of the trade was in the former capital of the Han State, the Xida City of Honghaikou.

It has now become the garrison of the Western military government, and Yin Zhengmao is increasing the control of the Western military government over the Han Kingdom, as long as these pirates have objections, they can use their mental tricks to make them fall apart.

As an orthodox official from the Ming Empire, Yin Zhengmao has been dealing with rebels and pirates all his life, and now he can set up a commercial market in Xidacheng to trade with the Han State for the sake of gold, and it is impossible to trust it completely.

Speaking of which, the development of the Western military government is much better than that of the Eastern military government, and the environmental conditions are much better, among which Lin Feng of the Han State also contributed to Yin Zhengmao.

It is precisely because Lin Feng blocked the way for the Portuguese to return home that these hopeless Portuguese people urgently need to find a backer, and Yin Zhengmao is their best choice for the tiger.

In this regard, the Ming Dynasty behind Yin Zhengmao naturally has better advantages than the Ottoman, Safi Persian, Mughal, and Egyptian states...... The Ming can influence the decision-making of the Han Kingdom, and the decision-making of the Han Kingdom can make them return to their hometown.

Nowadays, the direct land of the Western military government is not large, but relying on Goa to include southern India into the territory, the emperor canonized several tribal leaders to hold power, but the wealth is much more than that of the Eastern military government, and their trade is too easy.

Cotton, saltpeter, clay, iron ore, copper ore, gold ore, timber, and skins from the Indian continent were all transported back to the Ming Dynasty by merchant ships, and on the other hand, the huge markets of the Mughal Empire in the north and the Ottoman Empire in the west were the best dumping grounds for Ming merchants' goods.

Not to mention the Han Kingdom, a pirate country that is not self-sufficient in food and rich in gold.

Gold is so important to Lin Feng that Lin Feng, who is entrenched in Madagascar, has huge ambitions - to include Africa in his back garden, which no one else can touch.

Regardless of whether it is the Ming Dynasty, the Ottomans or the European countries, no one wants to stretch their arms into the gold-rich southern Africa.

Not to mention, although Lin Fengguo is weak and weak, no country around such a two-hundred-and-five country wants to provoke.

Those who still wear shoes are afraid of bare feet, other people's countries can't run there, even if they deploy heavy troops along the coast, they can't guard against Lin Feng for a thousand days, but Lin Feng's country has no territory, they can live in Madagascar today, and they can run to the east coast of Africa tomorrow, and they can go to the west coast if they can't do it.

The Ming pirates have come to the Indian Ocean from the South Seas, and they will repay their eyes and call the four seas home.

Yang Ce is now located in the north of the equator on the west coast of Africa, close to Morocco.

He had been here for some time with his own fleet, a position where he could intercept as many slave ships as possible from Europe, and to evade the Spanish fleets patrolling the Atlantic coast and the Strait of Gibraltar.

Although Yang Cebu was a regular army among the pirates of the Han Kingdom, and its equipment, ships, and guns were relatively strong, it was still not worth mentioning compared to the navy of the European continental powers.

But the ordinary armed merchant fleet was too easy for him to bully.

The European maritime merchant who seemed to be a thief had a very large fleet with only a few ships and a few hundred men, but he had twelve flying shark gunboats loaded with artillery, twelve lucky ships for loading, and a fleet of South African fireships trained by him.

If the Atlantic Ocean is compared to a vast grassland, Yang Ce is the most agile cheetah, he does not have the strong physique of a lion and tiger, but he is faster and deadlier than anyone else.

The golden rum tastes good.

Yang Ce only took a sip, then handed the wine bottle to his subordinates, and said, "This bottle can be sold to the chief when you turn around, haven't they recruited those people yet?" Why are there more and more nobles coming from the west...... With so many people, it's dangerous to send a letter and ask for ransom, so you have to ask their king, right? ”

Chen Mu, who was far away from victory, would never have imagined that the war he launched to seize the hegemony of the New World made Yang Ce, a pirate of the Han Kingdom, the biggest winner.

For three months, this pirate fleet had been rampant across the oceans, and when they saw a single or a few large ships, they chased and besieged them through several days and nights, just to find some candy to eat, but they did not expect to capture a dozen dozen Spanish nobles.

He really wanted to eat sugar, the West Indies and Portuguese Brazil planted a lot of sugarcane, people took the sugarcane to squeeze sugar, and then transported the sugar back to Spain and Portugal through the route, Yang Ce also did this kind of thing a few times in the past, he could eat it, and the sugar that could not be eaten was sold to the Songhai people on the west coast, and the harvest was very rich.

But I didn't expect to catch more nobles than sugar this time.

They were all rich people, and one by one they first claimed that these North African pirates would be punished by Spain, and when they saw clearly that their high-ranking officers had a bright face, they immediately changed their words, saying that they were either rich or expensive in their hometown, and they would definitely be able to afford the ransom, as long as they didn't kill anyone.

Yang Ce has been very narcissistic in the past few months, and they are well-behaved as soon as they see them, and it seems that General Yang's name can already cover a sea.

The old rule is to let the family send silver equal to the weight of the person, and immediately release the person.

Five thousand to seven thousand taels for one person, one life, this is a good deal.

However, the nobles rushed together, which made Yang Ce feel a little uneasy, what happened to him, right?

"The victory of the Oriental Military Mansion in the New World scared these people to go home?" Yang Ce, who was sitting at the tail of the gun, held the side of the boat and looked westward, his face unconsciously showed joy, and even the cold hairs on his neck exploded: "Connected?" Have we connected the world? ”
