Chapter 687: Cape Horn
The navigator Joseph admitted that he had rarely seen anyone with such a good face in the Atlantic. He had been in the Atlantic before and would almost always encounter terrible storms. He joked that the Chinese believe in Mazu is so smart, and he also wants to convert to Mazu.
South America! Brazil!
On April 22, 15oo, Portuguese navigator Pedro Cabral arrived in Brazil. He named the land "Holy Cross" and declared it to be Portuguese (Brazilian has a strong religious atmosphere, think of Christ in Rio de Janeiro)
The looting of Portuguese colonists began with the felling of Brazilian rosewood. The word "brasi1" gradually replaced the "Holy Cross" and became the Brazilian name. It is still used today, and its Chinese transliteration is "Brazil".
The Portuguese expedition team established a colony in Pakistan in the 1630s. The governor was appointed in 1549. Later, the entire colony was under Portuguese rule, and there were many foreign strongholds along the Atlantic coast. In 1555, the French invaded and occupied the equivalent of Rio de Janeiro, intending to establish a French colony in South America. However, the French could not attract colonists from Europe, so they were finally expelled from Rio by the Portuguese in 1565. Two years later, the Portuguese founded Rio City. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
At that time, most areas of Da 6 were still in the barren period, and the sights were full of emerald green, separated far away, and even heard the sound of birds and beasts roaring, showing the prosperous creatures.
Hong Maofan has established a series of strongholds along the coast of Brazil. They explore the terrain, open up resources, cut down forests, and build manors. Some places are in full swing, so that the officers and soldiers of the southeast warship who have first arrived in your realm feel that they are similar to Southeast Asia. The sides are similar, quite intimacy.
They stayed in Recé for three days, repaired the damaged parts of the battleship, and then sailed along the east coast of Brazil.
Thanks to the red hair fan, the supply has been no problem. They have also eaten some rare species, such as jaguar, cougar, jaguar, jaguar, sloth, anteater, tapir, armadillo, capybara and crocodile. After eating, the navigator Joseph continued to cross and said, "The Chinese are really a terrible race!"&1t;i>&1t;/i>
The Chinese eat everything. If it weren't for their superior gunboat ability and literacy, Joseph almost wanted to classify the Chinese as a living.
"Come on, eat dragons and tigers to replenish your body. After eating, you can kill the tiger!" Hong Xiguan teased him intentionally.
They ate in the officer’s dining room. As a navigator, Joseph was qualified to be with the officers. He sniffed the fragrant jar of meat, and he was unsure!
The Chinese chef actually mixed the jaguar and the snake meat that I don’t know what it is. This is the famous Cantonese dish "Dragon Tiger Fighting", with various spices and chef’s craftsmanship. The delicate craftsmanship makes the meat tender and smooth, which is exceptionally delicious.
Joseph crossed his chest, praying for God's forgiveness, and gulping for meat and soup!
Later, he returned to Europe, thinking that what the Chinese asked him to eat could be worth five catties of gold!
&1t;i>&1t;/i>
The Chinese are willing to spend money to buy a variety of messy meats. The key is that they have excellent cooking skills. The chef can be said to see the meat and knows how to make it delicious, which made the three navigators fatter when they were running on the first line of South American University 6. More than ten catties!
The formation arrived in Rio de Janeiro, which is the largest city on the east coast of South America. By virtue of the treaty with the Kingdom of Portugal, the Chinese have received a warm welcome. This is different from the European 6th. If the guests are considered as guests by the red hair fan, they will be welcomed. Received warm hospitality, everyone exchanged heartfelt conversations.
Even if the red hair fan fights, they are very gentlemen. Once they surrender, they will get good treatment.
No way, the land of South America is amazingly big and there are so few people.
The local Portuguese aristocrats hosted a banquet for the Chinese, but then they saw that the Chinese were buying all kinds of messy animals, and they did not hide that they wanted to eat them, leaving the Portuguese in the wind. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
If it weren't for the treaties of the kingdom and the equipment of the Chinese, I almost wanted to put them in the ranks of Shengfan.
Seeing this situation, Officer Hong Xi simply set up a banquet on the warship and called back the leading local figures.
A series of Chinese meals were served on the table, and when the Portuguese were eaten, their high cooking skills immediately conquered them. They actually had an urge to join the Chinese nation, and they were no doubt confused that the Chinese were civilized!
"Can the cook sell it? I'll give out 2o pounds of gold!" a nobleman said.
"You are not sincere, I will give out 30 pounds of gold!" Another nobleman immediately followed.
The bid reached 5o pounds of gold, which is worth about 9oo taels of gold. It is really crazy for the cooks. It shows how rich the nobles of Rio City are!
Hong Xiguan said with emotion, "I have moved with dim sum. I **** the cook and sold it to those red hair fans, and then pretended that he was missing."&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Yan Zhang roared, "We divided the gold. I don't ask for much. One hundred taels of gold is enough!"
Fuck the chef on the ship horribly!
Leaving Rio City and heading south along the coast of South America, the closer, the more obvious the signs.
The Chinese on the ship saw the expanding clouds in the southwest, the viscous heat blowing from the sky, the churning waves on the sea, and the forbidding light of the sun, all foreshadowing the terrible sea roads in the distance.
Joseph, the navigator on the Kaohsiung Ship 72, kept crossing the cross~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and prayed for God’s blessing. When the Chinese gathered together to beg Mazu’s blessing, Joseph also squeezed into the Chinese crowd. Pray to Mazu and Niangniang together!
Cape Horn, Cape Horn is almost here!
The steep southern corner of Horn Island, the southernmost tip of South America, is the only way to sail between the Pacific and the Atlantic.
That night, I saw the water and the sky, and the clouds were like brocades, which was so beautiful.
However, when passing through Cape Horn, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, changing from a squally early morning to a noon storm. The storm with rain was so strong that the soldiers staying on the podium could not breathe. a feeling of.
The waves are getting higher and higher, not the long swelling waves that are common in the Atlantic, but the towering waves formed by the merger of two oceans!
This kind of wave is extremely sinister. The tip of the wave shreds the surge ahead and poured on two pitiful cruise ships. The huge mountain-like waves are enough to bury the ship deeply in the water, suffering under the water, and then again. Lifting the boat out of the water, the feeling of escaping in the water is really terrible!
Fortunately, the tried-and-tested Southeast Army made sufficient preparations. Before crossing Cape Horn, the fixed places were fixed, and the seams of the ships were carefully checked. The hatches were sealed with slats, and even putty was applied. Anti-seepage!
"Like a comfortable and fluffy water duck!" Hong Xiguan said with satisfaction.
They bravely braved the westerly wind, the big waves surged, the cruiser climbed up the ridge of the wave, pressed the surging wave crest under the bottom of the ship, and then slid easily to the bottom of the wave along with the wave. Exclaimed, "This is an amazing warship. As her captain, I envy you!"
The two cruisers passed Cape Horn almost without damage!
