Chapter 110 The sea is really dangerous

Since Han Xiufen threw Baron Cristiano into the crater, the Spanish Baron Antonio and his fleet also disappeared.

Of course Han Xiufen knew where Baron Cristiano had gone.

However, she really didn't know the whereabouts of Baron Antonio.

It is unreasonable in any case that the Spanish Eastern Fleet, composed of one second-class ship, two third-class ships, and four galleons, disappeared without a trace.

You know, Han Xiufen killed Baron Cristiano, but there were at least three other ships in the Portuguese fleet following the British Baron Balmons fleet.

The Spanish fleet completely disappeared, as if evaporated from the world.

Two months later, some explorers found some broken pieces of the ship from the island. Among them was a piece of wood with the words-Mary Butterfly, which was the name of a second-class battleship and was the seat of the poor Baron Antonio. Ship.

Even the ship was turned into pieces, and the fate of Baron Antonio can be imagined.

Don't look at the two fleets missing, but the number of warships remaining in this sea area is constantly increasing.

Especially after the tall ship of the Ottoman Empire appeared outside Malacca, Han Xiufen and Balmons became close friends.

Sometimes, Han Xiufen would invite Baron Balmons to visit Paradise Island, and Baron Balmons would sometimes invite Han Xiufen to his residence, King Island.

Soon, the two fleets reached some secret contracts.

The two agreed that the missing Baron Cristiano and the missing Baron Antonio must be related to the Ottoman Governor Ibrahim.

Therefore, Governor Ibrahim became the common enemy of the two.

In fact, this does not require evidence, as long as Ibrahim is unfriendly to the two of them, then he is the enemy.

The British hope that Han Xiufen can understand some of the things they are doing in India.

Han Xiufen also hoped that the British would understand her move to block the Strait of Malacca.

Judging from the current state of negotiations, everyone is very satisfied.

Therefore, Han Xiufen started to build a fort on the narrowest part of the Malacca Strait, fell trees at the mouth of the Malacca River, leveled the land, and prepared to build a city here.

After all, Paradise Island is too small for her.

Ibrahim’s warships did not dare to enter Malacca, but they often clashed with the British fleet in the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea.

Han Xiufen ignored these things.

The reason why Ibrahim came to the Indian Ocean is entirely because the British, Dutch, Portuguese, and Spaniards have all travelled east from the Arabian Sea in the past two years, and trade is frequent. I heard that they have made great fortunes. Want to take a look.

The Arabian Sea and the Red Sea are too far away from Han Xiufen's current strength. Therefore, her main opponent is the Dutch, and Ibrahim will be handed over to the British to deal with.

After all, if Ibrahim controls the Arabian Sea, there will be fewer ships doing business through the Strait of Malacca, which will not help her to develop Malacca.

Leo Ni was holding a jar of clear water and came out from under the waterfall like a goddess. The water wetted her linen robe, revealing her beautiful figure.

Han Xiufen was sitting next to a table, holding a book in his hand but looking unconsciously, his eyes fell on the blue ocean. At this time, it was early in the morning when the seagulls on the beach were noisy.

Leo Ni moved in clear water and began to boil water and tea.

Since going to Lantian County, this woman has changed a lot. She believes that she has seen the city in the sky and the place where the gods can live.

In her eyes, Yushan Academy is a temple of wisdom.

As for Yun Zhao, he is still a handsome demon with a kind expression and an evil heart.

When she left Yushan, the demon king's army was attacking from all sides, and the black steel torrent would flood the beautiful land, and everyone on that land would become the demon king's slave.

Han Xiufen is the most capable knight under the demon king, and Leo Ni is honored to be the number one warrior under this knight.

As for Zhang Mingliang and Liu Chuanli, Leo Ni hasn't seen them yet.

However, when they went to sea, they saw another sea knight under the command of the Demon King. The guy named Shi Lang had the same temperament as Han Xiufen. Sometimes, Leo Ni might even imagine that if the two of them should fight What kind of scene is it.

Zhang Mingliang and Liu Chuanli had absolute confidence in Boss Han. In their opinion, Shi Lang was the commander of the Second Fleet, and his boss was the commander of the First Fleet, which explained the problem.

Moreover, Leo Ni also knew that Boss Han was the first group of committee members, and Shi Lang just received this honor.

When the water boiled, Leo Ni skillfully brewed the tea, poured a small cup for Boss Han and pushed it over.

Han Xiufen sniffed the small tea bowl, sniffed the tea, and drank the tea in one gulp.

"Has the ship that was released to explore the island come back?"

Listening to Boss Han’s questioning, Leo Ni hurriedly put down the tea bowl in her hand and said, “They went out when the monsoon rose in May. It’s hard to say whether they can come back, but the monsoon is over, and those who are alive should also come back. ."

Han Xiufen stood up and stretched out, "If anyone comes back, let me know as soon as possible."

After speaking, I went back to the room.

Every year, the Lantian First Fleet loses the most manpower to explore the ocean.

Every year, after the monsoon rises, Han Xiufen will send at least fifteen expedition ships into the vast sea to fight against the violent sea at this time to find the islands that contain countless treasures.

The reason why we choose to go to sea during the monsoon is entirely because only during the monsoon can sailboats have enough power to enter the unknown area.

Only through the strong monsoon can they travel more sea routes in the shortest time, make novel discoveries, and retain enough water and food.

For this reason, Han Xiufen's rewards are very high, so there is never a shortage of people who sell their lives.

Most of the people who go to explore the sea are Han people who have lived in Southeast Asia for a long time, as well as some black sailors, and even many European explorers and Arab pirates are willing to receive such tasks.

The natives of Nanyang rarely participate. They would rather do the hardest work under the threat of a whip than take a risk to chase wealth at sea.

The habit of Guanzhong officials to cherish the lives of the people does not exist here.

Therefore, every time the explorers who go out to search for the island in the monsoon season come back, not one in ten.

Those who die must be dead, and those who come back alive basically have some great discoveries. Regardless of their size, they can receive rewards that meet their expectations on Paradise Island.

There is a large map in Han Xiufen's room. Many places on this map are still blank. Every time the blank is reduced, it means that these places have entered the sight of human beings.

Baron Balmons referred to Han Xiufen’s generosity as the light of mankind. He believed that this was the contribution of civilized people to the world and should be recorded in the annals of history. He also wrote a passionate letter to their Stuart dynasty. The letter introduced Daming, a newly discovered great country in the Far East.

Han Xiufen had no idea what he said in the letter, but no matter what he said, it was a good thing.

In return, Han Xiufen also reported to Yun Zhao the process of her political exchanges with Baron Balmons, and told Yun Zhao that the British, Portuguese, and Spaniards were planning to occupy India, and she ardently hoped that the Lantian imperial court could also intervene. On the one hand, at least from the current situation, India is very large, fully accommodating the Ming, Britain, Portugal, Spain, and the Dutch.

If not, everyone will determine this after experiencing a cruel naval battle.

She is very confident about it.

To oppress the ability of the Dutch in the South China Sea and the surrounding areas of the China Sea is Han Xiufen's diligent goal, and this year and the next two years are a critical time.

Han Xiufen knows from Baron Balmons that the economic development of the Netherlands, that is, the Netherlands, has reached a high level.

The northern region, headed by the provinces of Holland and Zeeland, is very developed in industry and commerce. Some large cities such as Amsterdam, Middelburg, Vlissingen and other places have seen large-scale concentrated handicraft workshops, woolen weaving and fishing. And the shipbuilding industry are both well-known.

Amsterdam is also an important commercial port in Europe, with a large merchant fleet and frequent trade with foreign countries.

Since 33 years ago, the Dutch regained a certain degree of autonomy from Philip III of Spain. However, this autonomy is extremely unstable. This is the biggest worry in the hearts of the Dutch.

Since Philip III tossed out the wealth of the powerful Spain, these ambitious businessmen in the Netherlands began to seek Philip IV a path to complete independence for the Netherlands.

Therefore, the Far East is not the focus of the Dutch people. Most of the directors of the Dutch East India Company believe that how to completely separate the Netherlands from Spain is the current top priority.

The reason why Baron Balmons would tell these things through small talk was to tell Han Xiufen without a bottom line that the Dutch at this time could plot.

Han Xiufen was convinced, and cited Baron Balmons as a confidant.

They even established an intelligence exchange mechanism and reached a limited military agreement on mutual assistance.

In short, ~www.wuxiahere.com~ Now Malacca is a good time for the Blue Sky Fleet to show its ambitions.

Maid Seville passed the window holding a basket full of dirty clothes. Judging from where she was wearing the ring, the ghost woman was pregnant again.

If Han Xiufen is not wrong, the child in this woman's belly is not Zhang Mingliang, but Liu Chuanli.

Since having Seville, whose last child received a generous reward, he hasn't looked up to other men much.

Han Xiufen sighed and said to Leo Ni who was standing by as the clerk: "Call me those two guys."

Leo Ni looked at Han Xiufen, and then at Seville who was going away, she pleaded: "This is a personal matter between them. Zhang and Liu seem to be very happy, and Seville is also very happy. This is very good. Love, do you have to break them up?"

Han Xiufen stared at Leo Ni and said: "We are going to discuss how to drive your father away from Java Island. Nowadays, there is a high demand for sugar in Ming Dynasty. We are going to use Java Island to grow sugar cane."
