A little white rabbit is bouncing on the grassland and walking its way.

At this time, in the grass diagonally in front of it, a turtle emerged...... The tortoise's limbs were tumbling and crawling hard, and it had already exhausted all its strength to reach the top speed of the tortoise!

It just wanted to stop the rabbit, and if it stopped the other turtle, it might succeed...... But, sadly, a rabbit is not a tortoise.

The little white rabbit was stunned for a moment, looked at the turtle's actions, understood its purpose, and gently walked a few steps to the side, and then bypassed the turtle far away.

The little white rabbit went away happily, and he didn't want to take care of the turtle at all, and he didn't even look back...... For the little white rabbit, that turtle is dirty and smelly, what is the use of it?!

The turtle could only stay where it was, rolling its eyes and scolding the little white rabbit......

Li Ao put on his sunglasses again and lay back on the recliner...... It turned out that they had already reached the waters off the coast of Barbary, but how could a group of broken ships that couldn't even steer the sails and didn't even have rudders catch up with him?

His sailors exclaimed, "If you were still in the navy, you would have wiped out those guys today!" ”

Yes, with the firepower of this ship alone, ten more small boats like that are guaranteed to sink all into the sea.

Li Ao said indifferently: "Forget it, we are businessmen, ignore them!" ”

Said scolded that he personally controlled the long oars!

His men paddled as hard as they could...... But that beautiful sea boat is as nimble as a cat!

A tortoise can't catch a rabbit, let alone a cat......

Said swore that one day he would catch the ship on the docks...... It will make the owner of the ship a slave for life!

However, life has to go on, and they are slowly moving towards West Africa.

In late July 1282, the fleet of the Viceroy finally reached the waters of the Canary Islands.

It should be the hottest time here, but on the temperature gauge, it's only 28°C...... It's so good, it's better than the Wenlai estuary and Tianzhu area!

The archipelago has a subtropical climate, with warm weather and little change in the seasons.

There was a small shadow in the heart of the second governor...... They lost three men in the Gulf of Guinea.

The kings gave them the names "Slave Coast", "Gold Coast", "Ivory Coast" and "Pepper Coast" on the charts...... But he and Lieutenant Colonel Wang Ding observed carefully, and there was nothing but vegetation there.

Maybe inland, right? Because there are plans to develop the Canary Islands, they cannot enter there for the time being.

But when they sent ashore to fetch fresh water from a large river, one of the sailors was bitten by a poisonous snake on the shore, and within twenty minutes the man was bleeding to death.

When they returned from fetching water, two sailors were so hot that they couldn't control their body temperature with ice, and they fainted and died in less than two days.

Fortunately, the isolation was early, and it has been disinfected with wood vinegar, so no one else was infected.

The doctor on board could only conclude that they were not malaria or a fever in traditional Chinese medicine...... It can only be said that it is a nameless disease.

Everyone looked at the lush shore and put away their contempt...... This is actually a dangerous place, and death is a no-brainer!

The Governor of the Second Rank thoroughly understood the actions of the main family to burn the Eight Rivers back then, and without the disinfection of the fire, such a place can let people die casually!

All three were buried at sea...... This is a tradition of the people who sailed on the sea, and everyone knows it.

For them, the sea is their true home...... It doesn't matter where the sea is, because all the seas are connected.

They quickly fled the Gulf of Guinea, which they thought was full of wealth, and soon came to the waters of the Canary Islands.

After repeated measurements with a sextant, they were finally able to confirm it...... All the sailors and technicians stood silently on the deck, carefully observing the island not far away, but no one cheered.

Ancient Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans all visited the islands.

In 40 B.C., King Yuba II of Mauritania sent an expedition to the island, and when he saw that there were many huge dogs on the island, he called the archipelago Canaria, which means "island of dogs".

The Romans saw the beautiful scenery and pleasant climate on the island, and called it "the island of happiness".

In 999 A.D., Hui traders went to the Canary Islands to buy gum from the islands' natives.

The king of the empire designated them as the largest island...... According to the sources, the island has fertile volcanic soils and relatively humid river areas......

At higher altitudes, the climate is cooler and there are countless hardwood forests.

It doesn't matter if there will be any monsters on the island they choose; It doesn't matter if the natives of the island like them or not...... The important thing is that they chose this place, and the surrounding archipelago will belong to the Federal Empire!

The second lieutenant waved his hand, there is no need to release the scout cavalry at all, just land, we have no way out!

He directly named the island Liberty Island, and the bay where he landed was named Liberty Bay...... Europe, here we come!

Unfortunately, the Freedom Bay where they landed was definitely not as good as the Tianci Port in the Namkaesong area, and could only be lifted ashore by barge, and the white sand was too soft.

The Governor of the Second Junior has also taken up the work, and from now on, there will be no idlers here, unless basic living facilities are built.

Finally someone shouted, "Look, there are natives at twelve o'clock!" ”

The Governor immediately looked through a monocular, and sure enough, he saw that on the hillside less than 200 meters away, there were more than a dozen natives who were indifferently watching.

Well, they won't be needed now, but they will be good labor in the future......

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Ding also saw it, and he casually judged that those were Berbers!

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Ding knew that the Berbers were not a single people, but rather a collective term for many tribal people who were similar in cultural, political and economic life.

The term Berber was not originally called by the Berbers, but came from the Latin word barbari, which means barbarian.

They have different skins from blacks and Uighurs, but they are a little yellowish...... Some tribes are mainly cultivated, while others are mainly nomadic.

Most Berbers have been Islamized, but there are some remote tribes that still maintain their polytheistic traditions.

The Canary Islands of this plane are too remote to be remote.

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Ding called a platoon commander and asked him to take a platoon of soldiers to communicate with them, and find their village wherever they went.

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Ding also asked them to bring some gifts and at the same time load their bayonets to their rifles.

He ordered earnestly: "It's communication, it's also notification...... Whatever you do, tell them that we are here, that this island is ours, that their land and houses and other possessions are still theirs, and that we will protect them.

If you want to work and earn something good, you are always welcome here......"
