In fact, slave hunting and slave trade are not new industries originating from the New World. For hundreds of years, the phenomenon of northern nomadic peoples constantly attacking farming nation-states and looting civilians and selling them into slavery is very prominent. Dilena, a concubine of the current Emperor of the Tang Empire, was captured and sold to the East Continent by the Chidi people in the North, and was sold to the East Continent to meet His Majesty. However, that was a challenge to the civilized world by the barbarian nations and could not become the mainstream of history. However, in the New World, the trend of slave hunting and slave trade in the New World has been rising and falling, and soon became the most profitable and promising industry on the New World. Almost all countries that have colonies on the New World have been more or less involved in this industry. Officials in some countries even openly defended and corrected this activity, in the name of saving the barbaric indigenous peoples from ignorance and darkness.

There are two ways to hunt slaves. One is to recruit mercenaries to form slave hunting teams, hire local indigenous guides, attack weaker indigenous tribes, and plunder all young, middle-aged, old, weak, women and children of the entire tribe as slaves. This method requires certain force and risks, so it gradually becomes large-scale. Some mercenaries gradually begin to grow on the New World. They update their equipment and recruit personnel to expand their strength, and establish their own liaison agencies in various colonial sites in the New World to become professional slave hunting teams. There are fixed slave traders who purchase their prey, which is very profitable.

Another way is obviously the shadow of the official forces of the countries in the Laya continent. They provoked wars between various races and tribes on the New World, often giving tribe leaders and nobles some fancy and worthless things, such as glass balls, metal knives and vessels, to win the favor and "friendship" of tribe leaders, and then they would make a request to buy slaves, and then provide new cash weapons and equipment to the tribes they supported, and these equipment were used to pay for prisoners of war and civilians captured in the war.

This method is often more hidden and effective. The attacked tribes often seek external help out of revenge, which provides opportunities for those forces that are secretly manipulated. They can get along with each other, and sometimes support one side to attack the other side. The scale of the war is getting bigger and bigger, and it is becoming more and more cruel. A large number of indigenous people are captured as slaves, which also provides sufficient sources of slavery for these organizations and forces. These countries and forces can also take advantage of this opportunity to extend their power step by step to the new continent.

The bright golden peng flag flutters on the dock of Port Sabana. The entire port may be barely worth seeing except for the buildings surrounding the port area. Most of the other buildings are low-end houses that are not in the mainland of the empire. They are scattered around, and black people also account for a considerable proportion of pedestrians coming and going. The port of Port Sabana is a port, but in fact it is more appropriate to describe it as a large fishing village or a small market town. There are only three streets of towns with no more than 5,000 people, distributed in the shape of a y-shaped area on this prominent headland along the Southern Latin Ocean. This is one of the three colonial strongholds of the Tang Empire on the New World and a bridgehead for the empire to explore south along the coastline of the New World.

Gellyub, Mangadishu and Sabana formed the golden triangle of the Tang Empire on the New World. Gellyub is located in the northeast corner of the New World, and is only 220 kilometers away from Xishakula, the largest colonial stronghold of the Kingdom of Sioran. Mangadishu was originally an island formed by an eruption of volcanoes. It is about 350 nautical miles northwest and 370 nautical miles south of Sabana. Although the area is only more than 300 square kilometers, it is located in a very good location. Because it is surrounded by a series of coral reefs, it is in the initial Western continent.

After arriving in this area, some explorers and colonists were confused by the dense coral reefs, thinking that this area was of little value, so they set sail to the north. Later, folk explorers from the South China Sea discovered the island from a large group of coral reefs and drew detailed nautical charts. This place became the first step for the empire to take to the New World. Mangadishu in the south of the ocean meant the Pearl of Hope in the local language, and the empire followed the transliteration name, so they simply named the first colonial stronghold of the empire Mangadishu.

Gellyub was the first colonial stronghold of the Empire on the Western Continent. Although Mangadishu was the first stop on the imperial colonial road, it was still hundreds of nautical miles away from the New World and 160 nautical miles away from the nearest land. Gellyub became the first colonial stronghold established by the Empire on the New World land. Gellyub was the first colonial stronghold of the Empire at that time, an expedition team formed by the official and private merchants in Western Xinjiang at that time. At that time, the expedition team did not dare to go deep into the land after landing in the New World land, so they could only follow the sea.

The coastline slowly headed north. A week later, when he arrived at the colonial stronghold of the Kingdom of Sioran, Xishakura, realized that this area had been listed as their sphere of influence by the Kingdom of Sioran. In desperation, the expedition team could only return and establish a real camp at the landing site, and sent back messages to the local area. When the local area received the news, it was the time when the empire was about to be established, many things were delayed, and the expedition activities came to a halt. The expedition team could only leave less than 30 people to stay in Gelyub, and the rest returned to East Samoa by boat to wait for the empire's confirmation.

After the establishment of the empire, this news quickly attracted the attention of the empire. Given that the Western Continent countries began to infiltrate the New Continent and the Tang Dynasty could not fall behind, the empire quickly instructed Nanhai County to send subsequent expedition teams as soon as possible. However, the second expedition team formed by Nanhai County was wiped out in a storm during the expedition. It was not until three months later that the third expedition team successfully completed the expedition and met more than 30 left-behind expedition personnel. At this time, six of these expedition teams died due to the discomfort and the disease, and the remaining people were already in great difficulty.

Fortunately, the expedition sent by the empire was much larger in scale. The seven ships brought more than 200 people and a considerable number of weapons and drugs, so the situation was quickly stabilized and expressed his attitude to the Xioran expedition team who was trying to penetrate in this direction. This area was already under the control of the Tang Empire and a protected area of ​​the Tang Empire. Gell Yub was named after the local indigenous name "The Corner of the Moon", which means the place where the moon rose here.

At this time, the empire had learned that in addition to the Sioran and Jutland in the Central Continent, several major powers in the Western Continent and some cities and urban republics in the southern part of the water began to conduct comprehensive exploration and surveying in the northern and western regions of the New Continent, and began to plan and form a joint expedition team to explore the inland and farther regions of the New Continent. This attracted the high attention of the empire. The intention of the Western Continent to exclude the East Continent is self-evident. If it cannot gain a foothold in the New Continent in time, the empire, which had inherent shortcomings in geographical location, may be in a more disadvantageous position in the issue of dividing the New Continent that may arise in the future. Therefore, the Surveying and Mapping Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Empire, the Ministry of Commerce of the Empire, the Imperial Navy Surveying and Mapping Bureau and the Naval Intelligence Bureau all began to form their respective exploration forces and began to engage in expedition colonization.

The Surveying and Mapping Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Empire and the Ministry of Commerce of the Empire mainly cooperated with civil navigation and exploration associations to provide personnel and financial support to encourage them to actively explore the eastern coastal areas of the New World. The Navy Surveying and Mapping Bureau and Naval Intelligence Bureau are based on a military perspective. With the participation of the Marine Corps, they divide into multiple exploration forces to conduct circumvention along the New World in all directions, and even disguised as private merchants bypassing the colonies of various countries in the western continent along the northern coast of the New World to advance to the west coast of the New World, with the intention of completing all-round surveying and exploration of the New World before the countries of the Western continent.

More than a year ago, the Surveying and Mapping Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Empire and the Ministry of Commerce funded an expedition team of the Nanhai County Navigation Association to advance southwest along Jinguan Island. Due to a hurricane, the crew members who had to suspend their adventures and hid in a bay. However, the crew members who landed in to view the terrain happened to meet the onshore expedition team members set out from the Gellyub base to the south. In addition, the bay was named Angel Bay by the expedition team members who celebrated their meeting. However, Sabana was named after the transliteration of the local indigenous people, and the original meaning was "a place of pearls". This sea area is the main source of pearls collected by local indigenous people.

After a year of construction and development, Sabana has become a base for the Tang Empire to expand southward on the New World. Adventurers and expeditions have used this place as a base, either exploring inland or sailing south along the coastline by boat, hoping to make more discoveries. Merchants with a keen sense of smell have also opened shops and goods warehouses here to acquire local indigenous people such as rhinoceros horns, ivory, pearls, agate, amber, jade, gold sand and other local specialties, and at the same time dumping cotton, glass, and pottery to local indigenous people.
