403. Pandemics in Africa

After solving the troubles in front of us, we can really say that the monkeys on both sides of the straits can't stop crying. Jiangling has been in a day. Under the sudden southwest wind, our average degree has passed twenty festivals. In less than two days, we bypassed Green Corner and officially entered the territory of Africa.

I always have indescribable emotions in my heart for Africa - it is here that Yuan was injured to save me; it is here that I was forced to get involved in the torrent of the decisive battle between England and West.

As far as I was concerned, although this war gave me a lot, I also lost a lot. If I had to make a new choice... I don't know what decision I would make.

Especially judging from the current situation, Yuan's whereabouts have already become famous, and I and my power have also grown into characters that not everyone can squeeze! Sometimes I feel different in my heart, maybe these are the prices that must be paid for growth.

It is very rare. The west coast of Africa, which has always been known for frequent storms, is in good weather at this time. During the cycle from Green Corner to Cape of Good Hope, it is full of sunny days! Many sailors even started to murmur, why didn’t it rain a little, moisten my dry lips, making me shake my head and smile bitterly.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Bypassing the Cape of Good Hope, we began to encounter our own merchant ships and frigates. Rodriguez and Christina operated well in Africa. In the bar in Cape Town, I heard a lot of people talking about our American Chamber of Commerce.

Among them, the positive comments are mainly based on them, and of course there are also sour remarks caused by envy, jealousy and hatred. I will not take these into consideration.

From the conversation between these sailors and sailors, I suddenly got a news that silver and art from the West were popular throughout East Africa, with Sofara as the center.

Here, at this stage, a past-looking piece of art can be sold for three times its original price, and simple crafts made from silver can also be solved by more than twice the premium!

This wave of popularity has made many businesses extremely unable to rub their hands! Although due to years of experience in maritime business, each household has more or less stockpiled some goods, it is definitely not enough to deal with such a sudden whirlwind!&1t;i>&1t;/i>

In this process, the American Chamber of Commerce, who seemed to have prepared a lot of money, seemed to have prepared countless silverware, silver products and crafts, and their shipments alone were more than twice the shipments of other Chambers! It is obvious that 80% of this popularity came from the American Chamber of Commerce.

This also made many chambers of commerce shake their heads and sigh. After all, in their eyes, only these guys who dare to face the Spanish head-on and completely knock them off can have such a great influence. No matter which chamber of other chambers of commerce, they are always a little bit of ambition.

Listening to their discussion, I, Jiugui Masayoshi, Adiken, Laxhin, who returned to me, and Huamei, who came to cheat and drink, looked at each other and smiled. In the previous stage of preparation for the Spanish decisive battle, a large amount of gold and silver poured into the European market, causing the de facto currency depreciation.

Rodriguez must have joined forces with Mavi and others to acquire a large number of precious metals from the market, and began to refine and cast precious metals in advance, and planned to create such a pandemic!&1t;i>&1t;/i>

According to the capital reserves of Rodriguez's fleet, if he aggressively took out half of them to hoard gold and silver, under such a sales situation, my total asset size would double!

This is very helpful for my next plan. If returning to the Ming Dynasty really requires a large-scale naval battle, then sufficient cash flow will be the source of my sailors, warships, and ammunition!

Although there has been a lot of accumulation before, this final battle is also quite expensive. Rodriguez cannot be said to have no long-term thinking on using such opportunities to supplement cash flow.

The reason why other chambers of commerce are in a dilemma is that they are afraid of being beaten to the time difference - of course they can also rush to Europe, and take a lot of these handicrafts with no technical content and then transport them back, hoping to sell them at a good price.

But this wave of popularity will fade away. If they use a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to buy back the expected goods, but the trend has passed, they will only become harvested leeks and hand over their urgent needs to others.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Of course, it is not that no one has ever had any bad thoughts. A Spanish-born chamber of commerce made an excuse and suddenly faced the merchant fleet of the American Chamber of Commerce at sea. However, before the fangs were revealed, they were beaten by the red female pirate Christina who suddenly arrived!

People say that the ignorant chamber of commerce paid off the principal and interest on the spot - after that naval battle, no one saw the people from this chamber of commerce appear again, and they have disappeared from now on...

So African chambers of commerce were depressed and could only join forces to stare at each other. Fortunately, Rodriguez, the African director of the American Chamber of Commerce, understood the righteousness and handed over some of the less core transportation and transportation business to other chambers of commerce, which gave these poor guys a piece of cake!

"Sir, what is your main purpose when we go back this time?" Lakshin suddenly asked when he saw that there were no one around and only a few of my confidants.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

I squinted my eyes, looked at the long-lost son of the destruction, and asked with a smile: "What do you think is my main purpose?"

Lakshen also smiled, and thought for a while before he replied leisurely: "Visiting Marshal Qi is certainly one of the purposes, but this is definitely not your main intention! Otherwise..."

He paused and pointed at the dozen other warships outside: "We don't need so many warships at all, right? Sir?"

I looked at Lakshin with interest, took a sip of black tea, and smiled casually: "So from your point of view, why do I bring so many warships?"

"Demonstration!" Lakshin said firmly: "You have only one purpose for all this - to demonstrate to the Ming Dynasty!"

I couldn't help laughing: "Then keep guessing, why am I going to demonstrate?"

Lakshin smiled a little desolate: "It is like walking in a night with wealth and honor. Now that the gentleman is so powerful that he is returning home in glory, it is a great time to return home in glory! Unfortunately, I will never have the chance to embark on the grassland in my dream again!"&1t;i>&1t;/i>

As a prince, although he was just a little prince who was destroyed by the Black Carboniferous Tribe, Lakshin still had a deep sense of family and country. I guess my behavior touched him and reminded him of the national hatred and family hatred that had been hidden in his heart!

Looking at him, I half-joking and half-seriously said, "If you really miss this, I can support you financially. You recruit soldiers and fight for your country! How about it?"

Lakshin's eyes lit up, and it was obvious that he was really moved! But in just three seconds, Lakshin shook his head and sighed: "Forget it! Forget it! I have to fight and kill every day, but I have to fight and kill every day. I am not wise. I appreciate the sir's intentions."

I smiled slightly, and did not answer, but gently turned the cup in my hand with my hand, turned my head to look at Adicen, and asked, "Adicen, you are the admiral who led the navy, what do you think?"

Adicen smiled very casually: "Captain, your Eastern people's thinking is often different from that of us Western people. In our values, if you want to fight, you will definitely get more profits than the war. So it's hard for me to see your feelings clearly."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

I looked at the Nine Ghosts Masayoshi again and asked the same question. Nine Ghosts Masayoshi has been with me for the longest time and knows me the best, so I smiled and said, "No matter what the sir's decision is, I just implemented it in place! For me, I never think about why, I just think about what to do!"

As soon as he said that, I and the people around me could no longer help laughing and laughed. I couldn't stop laughing, so I could only light up Jiugui Masayoshi with my fingers and said a few times with a cough.

But this guy remained calm and let us laugh at him. While smiling, I stopped laughing. He patted his shoulder heavily and said sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work! Masayoshi!"

Jiugui Masato nodded vigorously. His appearance reminded me of the young ninja when I first met: "You haven't changed at all for so many years! You have long forgotten the paint I applied on the door handle!"

Among the people present, only I and him could understand this sentence. It was the allusion when Jiugui Zhengxiao came to secretly rescue after the Hundred Di Danbo harmony was captured. When I heard that, Jiugui Zhengxiao laughed, but there were tears in his eyes.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

I patted his shoulder hard again, no longer looking at him, but looked at Huamei: "What do you think? Huamei."

Huamei stared at me calmly, and suddenly stood up after a long time: "Since the founding of Emperor Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty has occupied the east, has a large land and abundant resources, and has a strong national strength. However, after several decades after the eunuch Sanbao traveled to the West, he has been invading Japanese pirates and has to implement a strategy of banning the sea."

Everyone listened quietly to the tiger girl of the general and the tiger said, and no one said: "After the forbidden sea, the Ming Dynasty became more and more out of the world, especially the rise of the West today, and the power at sea has greatly increased! Although the tiger is still eating the sky for the Ming Dynasty and has no way to stop, there is no guarantee that this day will not come!"

"Okay!" After hearing Hua Mei's powerful words, I couldn't help but applaud and said hurriedly: "Continue to say! Keep talking!"

Huamei glanced at me and smiled slightly: "A such a giant is drowsy at the extreme of the world, which is not a pity! I believe Qi Lan wants to make a needle - a needle that awakens the Ming Dynasty! Isn't it?"&1t;i>&1t;/i>

I looked at this fiancée who was obviously much thinner and held her hands tightly! If there is still someone in this world who understands my thoughts, then I can only say Huamei - of course I mean that among the people nowadays, if the second uncle is still there, or if the Governor Qi is by my side, they will definitely understand it!

"Qi Lan!!" Seeing that I was excited but didn't say anything, Hua Mei continued to say in a quiet voice: "It's not that I want to pour cold water on you, I'm afraid that the little emperor may not be able to win your affection. I'm afraid..."

I pinched her hands and shook them heavily: "I don't ask him to understand me, I just want him to hurt! As long as it hurts, there may be different things, right?"

Huamei looked at my eager eyes and wanted to speak, but finally she could only say lightly: "I just hope that you will win against Gu Xinran and be happy!"

As she said that, she held my hands back and whispered: "I'm with you!"&1t;i>&1t;/i>

I nodded vigorously, but my mind floated thousands of miles away.

What Huamei said is what I think? These foolish emperors of the Ming Dynasty did not know how to work hard to govern the country, but only knew the intrigues inside!

The decline of China originated from the late Ming Dynasty, but became the rule of the Qing Dynasty. Since I have returned to the starting point of everything, how can I not work hard and try my best to change this history?

No matter how stupid the emperor is, he is the emperor after all. In the face of unshakable facts, he may make changes!

At least, I can’t watch the depraved history repeat itself!

At least, I will do everything possible to change this regrettable thing--
Chapter completed!
