Chapter 1544 (**) The Li family fleet in the New World(2/2)
"Feel sorry!"
"I don't think I need to work with a pirate?"
After frowning and thinking for a while, after looking at Yang Xien's slightly shaking his head to him, Li Huamei finally shook her head firmly and rejected Mardenaud's suggestion that seemed abrupt and funny.
Because, she didn't think she and her Li family fleet had to go with each other to fight Escont, Clifford, and even the Swedish Navy, which would not do her any benefit!
"pirate?"
"No! No! No!"
"I never remember that we offended you, nor even more so, never snatched your merchant ship. Why are we pirates to you?"
"We're just fighting and robbing back what Esconte guy plundered from the New World residents and this land, so what's wrong?"
"You're afraid you don't know?"
"Most of my people and I are residents of the New World or mixed-race children of the New World. We belong to this place, but Esconte is not! They only use tyranny and force to rule here. He enslaved, oppressed, and even slaughtered and plundered the tribes here, and my people and I united to resist him. What's wrong with that?"
"besides!"
"You come here, Escont will definitely not let you have a good time!"
"Espinosha is his man. If he knows that you orientals have come here and come to his back garden, guess..."
"What will he and Espinosha do to you then?"
"So, since they are all his enemies, then we might as well unite against him. What's wrong with that?"
The nominal governor of Cuba was ruled by the Spanish pirates in the Caribbean. Although Vazquez de Mardenaud was still a little disgusted when he saw Li Huamei's face, he still wanted to continue working hard to win the woman who had more than a dozen armed merchant ships and could follow the challenger of the Espinosa Chamber of Commerce in Africa into his own camp.
Anyway, if one person has more power, and now he can take more than a dozen armed merchant ships, he will be more or less relaxed when dealing with Escont, Clifford and those Swedes.
“…”
When Li Huamei heard that the Espinoza Chamber of Commerce had a relationship with the Mexican Governor Esconte, he didn't say anything, but his heart suddenly stumbled.
However, she soon felt relieved.
Because she also knew that the Espinosha Chamber of Commerce was mainly engaged in the sale of Kunlun slaves in Africa, and the New World is said to be short of manpower and labor, and is the main sales place of Kunlun slaves. Therefore, it is normal for the local snake Esconte to have a close relationship with the Espinosha Chamber of Africa.
"How about it?"
"Have you thought about it?"
"Do you want to join forces with us to deal with that guy Esconte?"
Seeing the changing face of the woman in front of him, Maldonard once again urged and asked with some expectation.
"Feel sorry!"
"We have just arrived here and cannot make a decision immediately for the time being."
"We're going to see the situation before talking about it?"
Slowly shook her head, Li Huamei did not dare to refuse the party decisively in the end, but she did not agree. As she said, they must thoroughly understand the situation and situation here in the New World before they can make a decision.
"That's OK!"
"When you think about it, go to Harbor Havana to find me. Usually we are there."
There was some regret, but Mardenad didn't care too much. He just looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and the strong followers and sailors behind him, then waved his hand and surrounded him with his people, walking towards the ships that had already been anchored in the berths in the distance.
Obviously, he originally planned to leave Hong Kong, and the reason why he suddenly ran over to talk about those things was just a coincidence, trying to win over Li Huamei and others who had just arrived in the New World.
"Admiral!"
"That person probably wants to use us, don't be fooled!"
Seeing that the other party finally took people away, Yang Xien, who relaxed, also came to Li Huamei and reminded him quietly.
"I know, don't worry, Uncle Yang!"
"but……"
"He also reminded us that we must be careful when we move here in the New World. After all, we have a lot of holiday with the Espinosa Chamber of Commerce."
"Anyway!"
"After two months of sailing, let's talk about it now for a while now!"
"Walk!"
"Get out and go into the city and take a look!"
As he said that, Li Huamei waved her hand and walked into the city with her entourage and a group of sailors with knives or muskets.
She planned to find a hotel here, or simply find a big house or something, and rent it out to let everyone rest for a while.
...
When Li Huamei and others successfully arrived in the New World, a troubled little girl finally sailed to the Istanbul port in the innermost part of the Mediterranean bathtub, and was carrying out necessary supplies at this port.
Learned from Madeira's lesson, so this time, Annie and the others did not let all the ships enter the port to replenish supplies at the same time, but entered two, while the other three were waiting outside.
Once there is any disturbance in the port, the three ships outside them will definitely be able to directly launch revenge and devastating attacks on the enemies in the port.
In fact, during this period, they sailed and supplied in various ports in the Mediterranean. They did not believe in the Ottoman people, even if the other party showed kindness to them and opened all ports very friendly.
“Um…”
(ー`′ー)
"Hey! Uncle, can't we really continue sailing east tomorrow?"
(?~?)
Standing on the deck, watching the sailors and the dock coolies working hard to carry food and water to the ships, as well as shells and gunpowder, Anne looked bored at the sea east of the dock for a while before suddenly asking the first mate.
“Report to the Grand Admiral!”
"The Black Sea is on the east side, it's an inland sea, and there is no place to go inside."
"If you land inside and go east, you can reach the Western Regions of the Ming Dynasty in about a few months after walking along the ancient Silk Road. Do you want to try it?"
After explaining the situation, the first mate asked expressionlessly.
Going east of Istanbul is the Black Sea, which is the inland sea of the Ottoman Empire. It is all controlled by the so-called "pagans" in the European population. Although the commander-in-chief of the Ottoman Empire's naval commander-in-chief Hedm Affmedo Basha had ordered the opening of the port to their Li family fleet and wrote letters to show goodwill, but... after hearing that the Strait of Gibraltar had been completely blocked by the Spanish Invincible Fleet, he really didn't want to enter the Black Sea again.
Because, the Istanbul Strait is a narrow waterway connecting the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, and that waterway is too narrow, like an inland river!
Once this waterway is blocked by the Ottoman Empire, their Li family fleet will have no way to go to heaven and earth, and may not even have a chance to fight.
"Silk Road?"
(???.???)??????
"Not interested, don't go~!"
o(′^)o
Annie obviously wouldn't choose the stupid thing she was walking on the road for a few months to return to the Ming Dynasty.
In her opinion, if she returns to the Ming Dynasty, it would be easier to sail on the boat, because, in that case, she just needs to play, eat, and sleep back.
Of course, she doesn't want to go back yet because she hasn't found the bad guys Li Huamei yet! But it's too soon. The other party is said to have gone to the New World. After dealing with the matter in the Mediterranean, they will also go to the last stop of the New World. I believe that the other party will have no place to run away, and they will definitely be found by them.
"never mind!"
ε=(′ο`*))) Alas
"Let's go and see what happened to the guy named 'Basha' tomorrow, and if it's okay, then set sail to fight the Spanish fleet the day after tomorrow!"
??(?? ̄? ̄)?????
Anne has been visiting the Mediterranean here almost all the places she has been to, such as Alexander, Athens or now Istanbul. She has eaten all kinds of delicious or unhealthy foods. So, she is probably satisfied and is indeed ready to leave the Mediterranean here.
Of course, before leaving, she planned to meet the commander-in-chief of the Ottoman Empire Navy, Hedm Affmedo Basha, because the other party sent her a letter saying that she wanted to discuss some important things with her in the city tomorrow?
Annie was definitely not interested in discussing things. She had no common topics with those bad old men or strange uncles, and she hated meetings and didn't want to stay with that kind of guy at all.
but……
Given that the other party said that she would use the best food in the Ottoman Empire to treat her to the kind of thing...
(? ̄﹃ ̄?)Hey
In short, Admiral Anne had reluctantly agreed, so she would definitely not go back on her promise and would definitely go with an empty stomach.
?(′?`?)
(…)
(● ̄(?) ̄●)
"yes!"
"I know!"
"Go and make arrangements now, don't worry, Grand Admiral!"
When the eldest admiral finally gave up the idea of entering the Black Sea, the first mate finally gradually felt relieved.
Although the Strait of Gibraltar has been blocked by the Spanish Invincible Fleet, compared to the narrower Istanbul Strait, he is more willing to break through the Strait of Gibraltar, which is several nautical miles wide at the narrowest point!
Chapter completed!
