In August 1622, in Havana, the capital of Cuba, a Spanish colony in the Caribbean, a Spanish armed fleet of 29 ships set out. Loaded with gold and silver looted from all over Mexico and South America, they slowly drove towards the European mainland.
Yan zhòng was overloaded, and five treasure ships were engulfed by a hurricane while sailing to the waters between the island of Cuba and the Florida Peninsula. The Lady Atoka and her sister ship, the St. Margaret's, sank in this shipwreck, becoming one of the most famous shipwrecks in history.
The depth of the wreck was only ten meters, but in those days, it had become an inaccessible place for manpower, and they could only lie quietly in the sea, waiting for the visit of future generations.
"Qiao Xi, Qiao Xi! Look! There are here, too! Lots of locked! ”
Not far from the Ming Dynasty immigration camp on the outskirts of Port Recife, Yu Shan, who was lying on the edge of a small river and was about to catch fish, suddenly exclaimed, and Qiao Yan, who was washing clothes not far away, raised his head.
A group of black African slaves carrying freshly cut sugar cane, under the escort of the Portuguese, walked by the creek in a procession, frightening the nearby Ming Dynasty male and female immigrants who were washing and cooking.
When Sofala and Benguela were resting in Africa, in fact, these Ming immigrants had already seen black Africans, but the number was not as large as it was now, and unlike most of the blacks in those two places, many of the blacks seen here were in long shackles.
"This is Taixi Kunlun Nu is also, since the Tang Dynasty, the wealthy families of the Middle Earth are also useful, or light and healthy, or strong as a mountain, and the guard is quite applicable."
Chang Kun, the pacification envoy of the immigrants who took his family to rest by the river, dressed in a long shirt with countless patches sewn, walked over with square steps, and said what he saw in the book with a smug mouth.
Shortly after arriving in Port Recife, Chang Kun's concubine finally gave birth. Gave birth to a son. Chang Kun, who had a son for the first time, even felt that God had deliberately arranged it in the dark, why didn't he give birth to a son in Daming?
"Mr. Chang is still knowledgeable!" Qiao Yan walked over and saluted Chang Kun very politely. Then he grabbed Yu Shan, who was still stunned, "Look, people said, these are people." It's Kunlun Nu, not a ghost. ”
"Yu Shan?"
Seeing that his companion was still distracted, Qiao Yan couldn't help but walk over and pat the other party's shoulder.
Yu Shan slowly raised his hand, pointed to the distant coast, and looked in the direction. I saw that between the sea and the sky, a tall ship and a forest of sails looked even larger than the fleet it had ridden at the beginning. RV
