Chapter 887: 1 semi-legendary pirate
Yankee Ghani is deliberate and well-planned, he will use the "large sailing trade route."
Every spring, a Spanish galleon carries silver across the Pacific Ocean from Mexico in the Americas to Manila, Luzon, Asia, and sails directly along the ocean currents. It only takes 3 months to reach Manila.
In almost the same season, Chinese sailboats were loaded with sugar, tobacco, wine, silk, cotton, tea, porcelain, gunpowder, sulfur, steel, iron, mercury, copper, flour, chestnuts, walnuts, biscuits, seaweed, textiles, desks and others Rare items, sailing from China to Manila, ready to trade with Spanish merchants.
In addition to Chinese goods, goods from India, Persia, Japan and other countries gather in Manila.
The Spanish galleon transported silver into Manila, and the two sides paid the silver one-handedly for delivery.
The Manila galleon that carries a large amount of goods (PS: The Chinese are responsible for packing on the ship. The Chinese have incredible ability to make the most of every inch of space on the ship. No one of other ethnic groups can compare to the Chinese!) every June. The southwest monsoon sailed northward from Manila, followed the "Kuroshio" in the North Pacific and traveled eastward, arriving at the port of Acapulco in the Americas. It traveled more than 10,000 nautical miles and lasted about 6 months.
Now Yankee Ghani first arrives in Luzon. Although Luzon is now patrolled by cruise ships from the Southeast Mansion, Luzon is so big that the white skins have their own secret supply points that are not known to the Chinese.
After getting repairs and supplies, the Golden Deer traveled eastward along the Kuroshio tides in due course and arrived in the Americas.
Then sailed along the Americas, passed through Cape Horn, and continued to sail along the Americas, crossing the Atlantic Ocean, and returning to Europe.
At this time, due to the influence of the war with the Southeastern government in Europe, the amount of spices trade was greatly reduced, and the prices soared. The Golden Deer put the spices on public auction in the London trading market. The quality of his spices was also very good, and sold a full 50,000 pounds. !
Price description: The British pound is also called the golden pound, which is very valuable. At that time, the cost of each British first-class battleship was as high as 100,000 pounds, and there were only about 10 in the Royal Navy in active service; and the sixth-class cruise ship cost 10,000 pounds each.
In other words, Yankee Ghani took back half a Tier 1 battleship or five Tier 6 cruisers in this adventure!
With his first-class sailing skills and prudent attitude, Yankee Ghani never had a battle with anyone on this boat, no one was killed, no one was killed on the boat, no damage, he retired and made money. It is a miracle and a legend!
He said it was the Lord’s blessing! It is also the blessing of Drake in the Spirit of Heaven.
However, other pirates did not have as good luck as him. Although they asked Xiaoye for blessings, hundreds of rambutan ships that entered Southeast Asia were encircled and suppressed by the military and civilians of the Southeast. More than 90 ships may be sunk or sunk. Captured, most of the Baipi died, and the captured and captured, few Baipi can grab the money and return to their hometown in Europe.
A few years later, bilateral trade reopened, and the lonely Yankee Ghani could not bear to return to the Indian Ocean. After Somalia learned that the Chinese had not pursued the matter before, he resumed trade with China and Turkey.
In Java, he happened to meet the Chinese from Obi Island. The two sides contacted, and the Obi Island Chinese demanded compensation from him.
A silver dollar!
Symbolic compensation, as an apocalypse to the Chinese in Obi Island.
Yankee Ghani was overwhelmed and wanted to give more, but the Chinese laughed, declined his proposal, and thanked him for not killing.
"People are the most important thing. If you didn't harm us, those spices will be given to you!" The Chinese said that their lives are very prosperous and they can't spend their money, and as long as people are there, they can make money after they are gone. If people are gone, there will be nothing.
"You made the best choice, and we also made the best choice!" The Chinese said, "Bless you and us, it is not your Lord, but Mazu!"
What the Chinese of Obi Island said, Yankee Ghani suddenly realized!
Yes, bless him, it turned out to be Mazu Niangniang. He remembered that on his Golden Deer, several senior sailors believed in Mazu Niangniang!
Those crew members are extremely realistic and worship gods wherever they go, especially gods with strength. Mazu Niangniang's influence is so great, they also believed.
So when he said he couldn't go to war, those who were blessed by Mazu and Niangniang did not object, and it might not be necessary to replace it with other Hong Maofan who was agitated by Xiaoye.
Yankee Ghani also believes in Matsu!
He is the greatest legend, and the Dutchman Andrew Van Jones is half a legend.
This guy, almost a year after the war, approaching the Spring Festival and New Year, singled out the city of Rising Sun!
That year was the twenty-eighth year. When the busy morning in the city of Rising Sun was about to begin, an armed merchant ship named "Shatshev" suddenly appeared, whether it was cruise ships and frigates outside the Southeast Fleet and anti-smuggling offshore. The boat, the maritime police patrol boat, all missed it, so it drove straight in and rushed to the most prosperous outer port of Rising Sun City, causing people to scream!
The "Shatshev" fired artillery bombardment on the Bund!
In fact, it was only a ten-minute cannon, and hundreds of solid bullets were fired at the high-rise buildings on the Bund.
He didn't use shotguns to attack the crowd, but only hit the buildings. The brick walls were cracked, the glass was scattered like crystals, and the billboards collapsed like a typhoon.
Then the "Shatshev" fired and ran away, and almost let it run away.
Sailing warships are not easy to start, and they often have to paddle or tug in the harbor, making the officers and soldiers of the Southeast Fleet anxious.
The "Shatshev" rushed to the open sea, but several ships failed to leave it, but instead it passed their interception.
In an emergency, the passing merchant ship, the 300-ton "Jinshan 105", rammed the "Shatshev" fearlessly and stopped it!
The Chinese warships gathered around, surrounded the "Shatshev" group and group, and the crew was arrested.
After investigation, the captain was Andrew. Upon closer inspection, more than a dozen people were injured on the Bund, but no one died.
The economic loss was insignificant, but many officials from the Navy, Coast Guard, and Customs had been contacted, and even the commander of the Southeast Fleet Hong Xi had suffered a major demerit and devaluation.
Asked why Andrew was so courageous. Don't you know that this is Longtan Tiger's Den?
The Hong Maofan said that he is an adventurer, has experienced three oceans and five continents, once climbed the highest peak of the Alps, Mont Blanc (4810 meters above sea level), conquered the Amazon River by boat, and fished for food. Mermaid and crocodile!
His most recent feat was to ride a wooden barrel drifting down the Niagara Falls in the Americas!
Niagara Falls (Niagara Falls) is located at the junction of Ontario (Canada) and New York (USA). New York was occupied by the Netherlands in 1609 and named New Amsterdam.
The flow of the Niagara River rushed down the cliffs to reconverge downstream. In a section of less than 2 kilometers long, it fluctuated at a speed of 35.4 kilometers per hour and dropped by a drop of 15.8 meters~www.wuxiaspot.com~ deduced the wildest in the world. The vortex rapids, due to the large amount of water, are really rushing down with the momentum of thunder and expanse, splashing waves and water vapor, sometimes as high as more than 100 meters!
This fellow was actually sitting in a wooden barrel and drifting down from the waterfall. It was called "golden hair". He rushed through the "Devil's Hole Rapids" and along the last "Leaveston Tributary Canyon" from west to east into Lake Ontario. .
After successfully conquering Niagara Falls, he felt that life was meaningless and wanted to challenge a new peak. He bet with others that he could come in and out of Rising Sun City!
It's a pity that he didn't succeed. He looked like he didn't care if he wanted to kill or pluck him. The Chinese screamed. He turned out to be a lunatic, making the Chinese dumbfounded!
He almost succeeded. If his boat was not crashed and stopped and his boat had the upper hand, it would really be possible to escape and play a new legend!
Since there was no dead person, the magnanimous Chinese sentenced him to five years of hard labor, the crew of three years of hard labor, and the ship confiscated.
Andrew Van Jones was lucky. Not long after serving his sentence, he encountered the return of the Chinese leader and amnesty to Southeast Asia. He received an amnesty, used his best, was hired by the Chinese, explored India, and drew maps for the Chinese!
