The fleet of Bus Larry in the Persian Gulf, Abraham Ivan Woodin of the Woodin Chamber of Commerce and his giant Arab ships have been on standby in the port for a long time.
In fact, since the third day after a little girl, the Admiral led her Li family's pioneering fleet south, they had gathered in the port of Basra, a large fleet of fifteen giant Arab ships and several sails, and had already been replenished.
And they waited for a full half month.
It was only half a month later that the Woodin Chamber of Commerce finally received the latest news from Mogadishu, the port city on the east coast of Africa, the closest to the Arabian Sea.
“!!”
"What did you say?"
"They defeated the fleet of the Espiroza Chamber of Commerce outside Mogadishu, and all the twelve large Spanish square sailboats were sunk by them?"
"They then bombarded the port of Mogadishu, made the port surrender, and drove the people from the Espirosha Chamber of Commerce?!"
"This is impossible!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!"
After hearing Hashem read the information sent by their Woodin Chamber of Commerce at the intelligence station in Mogadishu, Woodin, who was a little unbelievable, stood up directly from his seat, then walked to Hashem, snatched the document from the other party, and began to browse it by himself with a glance.
"this……"
"this!!"
However, after reading it myself, Abraham Yiwen Wooding was in a bad mood.
He originally thought that the little girl and her five big ships would definitely not be the opponent of the Gianlonimo de Espinosha. After all, the evil chamber of commerce was the most powerful force of Europeans in East Africa, and it was the opponent that even the Woodin Chamber of Commerce had to treat with caution!
But no idea...
The Li family's pioneering fleet was actually stronger than the Li Huamei's fleet. They did not just injure or sink a few enemy ships, but directly and simply eliminated the entire fleet of Espinosha and attacked the port?
In his opinion, even the Wooding Chamber of Commerce itself could do that.
"Wooding?"
"What's wrong, is there any problem?"
Seeing Woodin's dull for a long time, Deniya Etihad, who was standing beside her, was obviously worried. Then she looked at her two sisters, and finally walked up, gently stroked Woodin's back and asked with concern.
"No……"
"nothing……"
"But, I didn't expect them to be so strong..."
"never mind!"
"My dear birds, I'm fine. You guys go to the swimming pool behind to wait for me first. Don't worry, I'll be here soon."
After looking at Deniya, he looked at Amina and Fatma, who were looking at him and were obviously worried. He felt that there were some things that he didn't want them to know about, so he reluctantly smiled and comforted them, and then spoke directly to send them out of the hall first.
“Hashem!”
"Is this information true?"
"The fleet of those two little girls, did they really defeat the fleet of Espinosa and occupied Mogadishu?"
Seeing that his three "birds" had some resentment, but in the end he left considerately. After seeing their figures completely disappear at the end of the corridor, Abraham Yiwen Woodin had just turned around and asked to the tall subordinate in front of him.
“Yes, master!”
"I have confirmed it many times, and even asked a special Arab ship at the dock that also returned from Africa. What the captain said was similar to the one in this letter, and it was even more bizarre?"
"However, they did not directly occupy Mogadishu. They just defeated the Europeans who were originally hostile to them and then expelled the Espirosha Chamber of Commerce. They did not seem to have much force to occupy the port."
"But I can't guarantee whether they will send people from the Indian Ocean or the South Ocean, or from the Ming Dynasty to develop commercial stations in the end."
As he said that, Hashem told the various magical places he had learned from the Arab captain about the Li family's pioneering fleet.
It is said that it was seen by a passing merchant ship with his own eyes?
Anyway, the other party said that the Li family fleet's naval guns were very accurate and had a long range, and were extremely powerful. They sank nearly half of the ships of the Espinosha fleet in just two rounds of artillery. Then, while the enemy fled, they directly used the four naval guns on the bow to pursue them. In the end, they used those bow guns to sank the fleeing enemy ships one by one?
What happened next would be even more amazing.
The Li family fleet arrived in Mogadishu the next day after the war and blocked the port in Mogadishu. After destroying and injuring several merchant ships of the Espinosha Chamber of Commerce in a row and deterring the port's forts, they successfully entered the port and captured at least seven to eight medium-sized merchant ships of the Espinosha Chamber of Commerce and seized a large number of gold and gems. The specific number is unestimated.
"It shouldn't be..."
"How come they are so strong?"
After listening to the retelling of Hashem, his servant, Abraham Yiwen Woodin couldn't help but accept it for a moment.
Because according to his original idea, it should be like this:
Without preparation, their Li family fleet plunged into the sphere of influence of the Espinosha Chamber of Commerce. Then, they would definitely be beaten to death by the hostile forces, and finally had to flee back to the Arabian Sea in a shame. Finally, they would come forward to comfort themselves and lead the main force of the Wuding Chamber of Commerce and their Li family fleet to go south together, directly defeat or intimidate the Espinosha Chamber of Commerce and those Europeans. That would be a normal and reasonable script?
But now, the other party directly destroyed a fleet of the Espinosha Chamber of Commerce, and it still stood firm in that important East African city closest to the Arabian Sea. If there were really such powerful words from other people and letters in their battles, I am afraid that the Espinosha Chamber of Commerce would not be able to resist it, right?
"Can't it..."
"Is the rumors in India and in Southeast Asia true?"
Suddenly, Woodin remembered the Chamonrin Aphmad Nagopur in the Indian Ocean. Their strength was no worse than that of the Woodin Chamber of Commerce, which had been entrenched in the Persian Gulf for generations!
Then, there are Malay Governor Doyle Atai Ropez Di Preira and Guava Governor Antonio van Kuhn. They even surrendered one after another. If those are true, wouldn’t that mean Africa is likely to fall into the hands of the Li Chamber of Commerce soon?
"this……"
As he thought about it, Wu Ding couldn't help but take a breath.
Of course, the situation in Africa is relatively complicated, and there are many European countries there. Even if the Li family fleet defeated the strongest Espirosha Chamber of Commerce, it is probably impossible to occupy it in a short period of time. After all, the distance there is really too far. They want to drive away the European forces that have been entrenched for many years, but it is not possible with the few people from those ships. Even if there may be thousands of people on their ships, it is useless.
"Owner!"
"What should we do now?"
"Do you need to get the fleet to go south to Africa right away?"
Seeing his master Wuding, he was a little surprised and confused. At the same time, he also knew that Hashem, who had originally planned, had been waiting for a while. Seeing that the other party was still unable to make up his mind, he couldn't help asking carefully.
“!!”
"No!"
"They must be lucky, let's wait..."
“Wait a little longer…”
However, Wuding, who had a gloomy face, reached out to interrupt Hashem and rejected the servant's suggestion.
"By the way!"
"I need to know as soon as possible what the Li family's fleet has done to easily get the trade rights of those who are good at the Indian Ocean and the South Guawa Islands to collect intelligence, so I need to know as soon as possible what the Li family's fleet has done so that they can easily take over the trade rights of those two good places, especially those of Guawa!"
"Go now!"
Abraham Yiwen Woodin's face looked a little ugly.
Because, he suddenly realized that things seemed to be a little beyond his expectations and were moving in a direction that he could not imagine and control. That feeling was unforgivable for a man who had always controlled the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf. He had to do something, and he could not even be inferior to a little girl, which he would never admit.
"Abide by the order!"
"My master."
Hashem did not say much, but saw that his master Woodin had no more orders, so he took two steps back, then turned around and walked quickly outside the hall, preparing to arrange for people to go to the Indian Ocean and the South Ocean, and strive to investigate and return within a month.
...
While Abraham Yiwen Woodin in Basra was suspicious and doubting his life, a little little girl, the East Coast of Africa, was already staying in a big house in the port of Mogadishu and was eating and drinking with her young follower and second admiral Song Yifenghai.
This was originally the property of the Espirosha Chamber of Commerce, but now it has become the commercial station and station of the Li family fleet.
However, Annie did not intend to send her fleet that was not sufficient to occupy the place. Instead, she sent a letter to the fat man Nagopur in the Indian Ocean, asking him to send someone to preside over the business. Anyway, there were many people on the other side, so she could deal with this for the time being. After their Li family and the Ming merchant ships came and went here, they would slowly let the Ming people occupy this place and even the entire port. That was nothing big.
Of course, Annie didn't care about the above chores. Everything was arranged by the first mate. Whatever he said was what she was too lazy to care about those bad things!
"Annie, you don't know yet?"
"It is said that this is the legendary 'wood bones and bundles', which was the place where the eunuch of the Three Treasures Zheng He came twice, and it is also the farthest place that their fleet arrived!"
"I didn't expect that I, Song Yifeng, came here today..."
In this beautiful house, Song Yifeng sighed while eating and drinking. She never expected that she would have such a day to come to the farthest place that the Three Treasures eunuch had ever been to, as if it was the end of the world.
If they go back to Seoul one day and let the master and senior brother know, they will definitely be envious or even jealous, right?
"But it's still too hot here, even the sea breeze is hot..."
"Anne, look!"
"The other person's skirt is made of veil, but it's soaked now!"
Just after sighing, Song Yifeng ran to Annie and complained, constantly pulling her collar so that Annie could see her wet skin and the same wet skirt that was almost turned into a transparent dress.
"There's nothing to do!"
(lll￢▽￢)
"This city is at 2o north latitude, and is very close to the equator. How can it not be hot?"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"But don't worry!"
(*^▽^*)
"When the warships have supplied gunpowder and shells, we will go south. When we leave the equator, we will definitely get cooler."
(??▽?)
"But……"
"Anne..."
"Can't we leave quickly?"
"I think I've been tanned recently... the Kunlun slaves outside must be because they are often tanned, so I don't want to be tanned like them!"
"In that case, the master and senior brother will definitely dislike me..."
Looking at the healthy skin on her arm that had indeed become a little dark, Song Yifeng fell down her face. She didn't want to become the dark and ghostly look of the local indigenous people, and she didn't want to be at all.
"ah!?"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
"That's impossible. If you want to become them so dark, you have to roast them slowly with fire..."
(lll￢▽￢)
"And don't think people don't know that you guys don't go out during the day, either hiding in the cabin or hiding in the house like you are now. How could you get tanned?"
(??ˇεˇ??)
"You...hey?"
∑(′△)?!
At this time, Annie was about to continue saying something, when she suddenly saw someone walking in outside the door, and then she had to stop. Song Yifeng even sorted out her clothes as soon as possible, not wanting outsiders to see her disheveled appearance.
(…)
(●￣(?)￣●)
"Report!"
"Great Admiral! Second Admiral!"
"Last night, someone wanted to steal our ship, but was repelled. We also captured a few prisoners. We have already asked about the situation."
After the sailor finished his salute, he loudly told him about the first mate of the fleet flagship to report.
“!!”
("?ヘ?)”
"What did you say?"
(′?_?`)
"There is a pirate leader named Azhisha. She saw that our ship easily defeated the fat man Nagopur and Espinosa's fleet, so she wanted to grab the ship. Then you only caught a few minions?"
!?(?''??)?
Anne was shocked. She didn't expect that she would have such a bold pirate who dared to attack her big ship?
"But why did you report what happened last night?"
o(*'　〼')o
After listening to the other party's report, Annie was stunned at first, but soon continued to ask questions.
"Because you just got up, you still have the face to say it!"
"Let's go!"
"Let's go and see those pirates!"
He glared at the troubled little girl, Admiral, with anger, and after saving the awkward sailor, he had basically eaten and drunk enough, and then stood up.
Although Song Yifeng herself had just gotten up, she felt that she was infected by Little Annie, and things like being lazy and sleepy were not what she was good at?
