"Don't be so snobbish, it's not okay for you to go to the Qinglou and buy me to spend the night with you!" In order to cooperate with Jiang Zhuyi's feeling of being the master, Hong Tao had to pretend to be pitiful with a bitter face.

"Yes! You bought me for the night in the first place, huh! I'm going to pay it back! Hahaha...... Just for a while...... "Jiang Zhuyi was very satisfied with Hong Tao's performance, even if he knew that the man was coaxing himself, he had to fake it, and rode directly on Hong Tao, turned over as a serf and sang!

"It's all your fault, I even forgot to make the baroness's dress, she must complain about my ......" When Hong Tao came out of the captain's room with a pair of panda eyes, Jiang Zhuyi, who had a radiant face, was not very kind to be stared at by Swan, and took him over as a shield.

"You turn your face over there...... If this was in the Great Song Dynasty, a woman who dared to look at the emperor like this would have her head cut off a long time ago! Hong Tao didn't understand what Swan was looking at, and he didn't bother to ask, so it was good to be shameless and have less trouble.

"Hee-hee-hee...... I'm leaving! Remember the ...... you promised me No repentance! Jiang Zhuyi saw that Swan was reprimanded by Hong Tao, and really turned around and stood at the sea, very proud, and whispered in Hong Tao's ear before leaving, and then lifted the skirt and climbed down the rope net.

"Take care of Mr. Wen, take him to the nobleman's house here more, let him know more about the rules here!" Wen Nan was thrown in Re Na Yagang by Hong Tao very unjustly, his small body is not suitable for exploring the Americas, and he is not very righteous, it is easy to sell himself for the country, which Carl will not.

"Sir, what game do you play in the house? So happy, and so loud. Did she win you? Jiang Zhuyi just got off the boat. Swann leaned behind Hong Tao. Muttered quietly.

"How do you know I'm losing?" Hong Tao also wants to save some face for himself.

"......" Swan didn't save him face at all, didn't say anything, but stretched out his hand and pointed at Hong Tao's face.

"Go back and tell your father, I found you a daughter-in-law, and the wedding was held at sea!" Being slapped in the face like this, he can't make a noise, Hong Tao is definitely not willing to suffer, didn't you ask what game you are playing? Yes. I'll find you a game partner and play it yourself.

"Daughter-in-law? Which one? "Swan has no problem fighting, he is much more merciful than his master, but when it comes to finding a daughter-in-law, he is born with a defect, not his body but his IQ, I don't understand!

"I haven't thought about it, let Governor Mai pick one for you at will when the time comes, there are so many ...... his daughters and children" Hong Tao would be strange if he had a good idea, in order to retaliate Swann for slapping himself in the face in public. He was going to marry Swann to a black girl.

“…… I don't like the black one, can you change it? "Swann is not averse to marriage. But not very accustomed to blacks.

"Another one? For whom? Hong Tao thought that Swan had a goal, and he was quite surprised.

"I don't know, don't be so dark and make ......" Swann is not very demanding.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Not too dark, right? Yes! I fulfill your wishes, is the cargo unloaded? Listening to Swan's request, Hong Tao cracked his mouth and smiled, his little eyes rolling.

"It's already been unloaded...... Swann looked at Hong Tao's smile and straightened his neck, as if a cold wind was blowing.

"Then set sail and go back to Karlburg! You continue to command......" Hong Tao looked at Swann like a toy, a very vicious idea was churning in his mind, the more he thought about it, the more reliable it became, and he happily went back to the captain's room to catch up on sleep.

"Captain, you're done...... When Mr. laughs like this, it's 100% good, what you just asked is very inappropriate, even if you really want to ask, you can't ask in front of all of us, ask for more blessings! Seeing that Hong Tao was gone, Swan was still thinking about marrying a daughter-in-law, and the helmsman stuck his head over and reminded Swan in a whisper. They are all a class, a class that was oppressed by the great demon king Hong Tao, although they did not dare to resist, they still had class feelings.

"Take the helm! Mercy married Weng Ya, which was given by Mr., why is it not good? Maybe the gentleman will find me better than Wengya......" Swan made the helmsman a little weak-hearted, and in order to drive away this fear, he could only grit his teeth and assume for the good.

Hong Tao was in the hot \ Na \ Yagang and Jiang Zhu Yiqing and I for several days, but Carl was in a hurry, he was about to become a wangfu stone, standing at the top of the castle every day, holding a telescope to look at it several times. He didn't see the shadow of the Jinhe, so he pulled the soldiers out for a fierce practice, so as to calm down the restless heart, which was a bit of a stupid wife and other men.

"What are you doing? It's getting dark, so you can't just leave now! Calm down...... I've done the math, Ming ...... The day after tomorrow is a good day, let's set off the day after tomorrow. You're gone, but the defense of Fort Karl can't be relaxed, and tomorrow I'm going to check and check, and everything is okay before you can leave. Don't just think about playing, you're the Governor of Gibraltar in the Empire! Before the Golden River could stop at the edge of the dock, Karl began to beckon the two rows of soldiers standing behind him to board the ship, and Hong Tao quickly stopped him. It's okay for him to not do serious things in Re\Na\A, but he still has to put on a conscientious appearance to show Carl, how beautiful he is, and how beautiful he is, the stupid boy Karl blushed, and reluctantly took the soldier back.

Early the next morning, Hong Tao really came to check, carrying an iron hammer in his hand, first went to the outer and inner roofs of the castle to go around, knocked around, checked the quality of the building first, and after making sure that there was no cutting corners, he started from the outer layer, next to the house, not only put forward his own suggestions on the living conditions and training intensity of the garrison in Karl Fort, but also made instructions on food and clothing, and the addiction of the leadership inspection was too much.

This is not the end, he still has to watch the training exercises of the soldiers in the afternoon, which annoys Carl, the more anxious he is, the more he can't go, but he can't disobey Hong Tao's order, he can only stare and yell around, if anyone makes a mistake at this time, it will immediately become his punching bag.

Hong Tao really didn't mean to torture Carl, he valued Carl Fort very much, otherwise he wouldn't have put Carl's right-hand man here to stare at. Although it may not be necessary for Karl Fort to contribute in the past two years, it is necessary to secure this land, this fortress and the small bay guarded in front of it. In the next few decades or even hundreds of years, it will become a thorn in the side of Europeans, and it will tear Europe apart from the sea into two parts. If the Mediterranean European countries want to ship with the countries of Northwest Europe, they have to ask Karlburg whether they agree or not, or they can't pass through the Strait of Gibraltar in vain, and the protection fee is too low-level, and the docking inspection is the key.

This method was borrowed from Port Said next to the western entrance of the Suez Canal, and the city relied on the formalities and overlord services for ships from various countries entering and leaving the canal. Hong Tao doesn't want to be so ruthless, it is too troublesome to provide services forcibly, and the inspection of the ship is the key. As soon as these cargo ships dock in the harbor, there will naturally be a service industry on the shore, and the more ships docked, the more developed the service industry will be, and over time a small trading warehouse will be formed here, and then it will become a trading port.

All the merchant ships from east to west need to dock, everyone inevitably asks each other what goods are on their ships, maybe they can catch up with what they need, trade directly in Karlburg, and then turn around and go home, saving half of the journey, how good is it? As soon as this business opportunity arises, people will follow suit, all kinds of warehouses will spring up in the bay, and then the population of Karlburg will increase, and then a trading city will appear!

Of course, there is a premise for all this, that is, Karlburg must have a strong military backing, which is tantamount to opposing most of the European countries, and it is inevitable that some people will come with troops unhappy. Regardless of whether these people came from the sea or land, Karl Fort had to be able to withstand several such battles and win, so that everyone would obediently stop the ship and be inspected.

On the last day of the year, after completing its last replenishment in the port of Tangier, the Golden River took Carl and a hundred of his slave soldiers and turned around and sailed towards the mighty North Atlantic. Three other armed cargo ships stayed in the bay in front of Karl Fort to help Karl defend themselves while regularly killing whales for Karl to process and sell to the Saracens in the north. They would stay here until the end of April, and if Karl and Hong Tao did not return, the temporary commander of this small fleet would have the right to smash open the small box that Hong Tao had given him, which contained the global charts and maps that Hong Tao had painstakingly drawn over the years, as well as all the hydrographic data. With these charts in hand, the three armed merchant ships were able to return to Cape Town Harbor on their own, where they handed over the letters that Hong Tao had left to Martini, and then took the remaining letters along the way to Po Jiao and Swan's father, and finally returned to Golden River City to hand over to the council.

These letters are the testament of the first emperor of the Jinhe Empire, and God knows what is written in them, the commander of the temporary fleet received the order that it would be a capital offense to open it one day earlier!

Is four months enough time to travel to and from the American continent? Hong Tao thinks it's enough! The straight-line distance from Karlburg to the Cuban archipelago will not exceed 6,000 kilometers, because Cuba and New York have about the same longitude, and in his previous life he sailed directly from New York across the English Channel, the distance was less than 6,500 kilometers, which should be slightly farther than to Karlburg.

The voyage of 6,000 kilometers was not too difficult for Hong Tao, an old captain who had long been familiar with the use of a sextant and a lunar distance gauge for positioning, and the direct distance from the port of Cape Town to the Leeward Islands was not much less, during which he had to pass through the equatorial windless zone. And taking the North Atlantic route, along the northeast trade wind belt all the way to the west, almost all the way back wind, the best power.
