Chapter 110 The sea is really dangerous

Since Han Xiufen threw Baron Cristiano into the crater, Baron Antonio of Spain and his fleet have also disappeared.

Of course, Han Xiufen knew where Baron Cristiano went.

However, she really doesn't know the whereabouts of Baron Antonio.

The Spanish Oriental Fleet consisting of one second-class ship, two third-class ships and four large sailing ships disappeared without a trace, which is unreasonable in any case.

You know, Han Xiufen killed Baron Cristiano, but the Portuguese fleet still had at least three ships living with Baron Pamons of the British fleet.

The Spanish fleet disappeared completely, as if it had evaporated from the world.

Two months later, some explorers found some broken fragments of ships from the island, including a piece of wood that reads the Mary Butterfly, the name of a second-class battleship, the ship of the poor Baron Antonio.

Even the ship has become fragments, and Baron Antonio's fate can be imagined.

Although there are two fleets missing, the number of warships remaining in this sea area is increasing.

Especially after the Ottoman Empire's high-masted warship appeared outside Malacca, Han Xiufen and Bamons became good friends.

Sometimes, Han Xiufen would invite Baron Bamons to visit Paradise Island, and Baron Bamons would sometimes invite Han Xiufen to visit his residence Kings Island.

Soon, the two fleets reached some secret contracts.

The two agreed that the missing Baron Cristiano must be related to the missing Baron Antonio of Ottoman Governor Ibrahim.

Therefore, Governor Ibrahim became the common enemy of the two.

In fact, there is no need for evidence to do so. As long as Ibrahim is not friendly to both of them, then he is the enemy.

The British hope that Han Xiufen can understand some of the things they did in India.

Similarly, Han Xiufen also hopes that the British can understand her actions of blocking the Strait of Malacca.

Judging from the current negotiation situation, everyone is very satisfied.

Therefore, Han Xiufen started to build a fort at the narrowest location in the Strait of Malacca, and cut down trees and leveled the land at the mouth of the Malacca River, preparing to build a city here.

After all, Paradise Island was too small for her.

Ibrahim's warships did not dare to enter Malacca, but often rubbed against the British fleet in the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea.

Han Xiufen ignored these things.

The reason why Ibrahim came to the Indian Ocean was entirely because in the past two years, the British, Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish all went east from the Arabian Sea and traded frequently. I heard that they had made a fortune, so they also wanted to come and have a look.

The Arabian Sea and the Red Sea are too far away, and it is not something Han Xiufen can touch on. Therefore, her main opponent is the Dutch, and Ibrahim will be handed over to the British to deal with.

After all, if Ibrahim had controlled the Arabian Sea, there would be fewer ships going through the Strait of Malacca, which would not be much beneficial for her to develop Malacca.

Leonie walked out of the waterfall like a goddess, holding a can of water, and the water flowed wet her linen robe, revealing her wonderful figure.

Han Xiufen sat next to a table, holding a book in her hand but was unintentionally watching. Her eyes fell on the blue ocean. At this time, it was early in the morning, and the seagulls on the beach were very noisy.

Leonie brought clean water and started cooking water and cooking tea.

Since she visited Lantian County, this woman has changed a lot. She believes that she can only live in the city in the sky and the gods.

In her eyes, Yushan Academy is a palace of wisdom.

As for Yun Zhao, he is still a handsome appearance, kind expression, and evil inside.

When she left Jade Mountain, the Demon King's army was attacking from all directions. The black torrent of steel would flood the beautiful land, and everyone on that land would become the slaves of the Demon King.

Han Xiufen is the most capable knight under the devil's command, and Leoni is honored to be the number one general under the command of this knight.

As for Zhang Mingliang and Liu Chuanli, Leoni has not seen it yet.

However, when they went out to sea, they saw another sea knight under the Demon King's command. The guy named Shi Lang had the same temperament as Han Xiufen. Sometimes, Leonie even fantasized about what kind of scene they would have if they fought.

Zhang Mingliang and Liu Chuanli had absolute confidence in Boss Han. In their opinion, Shi Lang was the commander of the Second Fleet, and his boss was the commander of the First Fleet, which was very telling.

Moreover, Leoni also knew that Boss Han was one of the earliest members of the committee, and Shi Lang had just received this honor.

The water boiled, and Leoni skillfully prepared the tea, poured a small cup for Boss Han and pushed it over.

Han Xiufen reached out and grabbed the small tea bowl, smelled the fragrance of the tea, and drank the tea in one sip.

"Have the ship released to explore the island back?"

Hearing Boss Han’s questioning, Leoni quickly put down the tea bowl in her hand and said, “They went out when the monsoon rose in May. It’s hard to say whether they could come back. However, the monsoon has ended, and it’s time for those who are alive to come back.”

Han Xiufen stood up and stretched and said, "If anyone comes back, tell me the first time."

After saying that, he went back to the room.

Every year, the Lantian First Fleet loses the most manpowers to explore the ocean.

Every year, after the monsoon rises, Han Xiufen will send at least fifteen adventure ships to sail into the vast sea, fighting against the violent sea at this time to find the islands with countless treasures.

The reason why I chose to go to sea during the monsoon is entirely because only during the monsoon does the sailing boat have enough power to enter unknown areas.

Only with the strong monsoon can they drive more sea routes in the shortest time, make novel discoveries, and leave enough water and food for the return.

For this reason, Han Xiufen offered a high reward, so he has never lacked people who work hard.

Most of the people who go to explore the sea are Han people who have lived in Nanyang for a long time, as well as some black sailors, and even many European explorers and Arab pirates are willing to receive such tasks.

The native natives in Nanyang rarely participated. They would rather do the hardest work under the threat of a whip than take a risk to pursue wealth at sea.

The habit of Guanzhong officials cherishing the lives of the people does not exist here.

So, every time the explorers who go out to search for islands during the monsoon season, no ten are left behind.

Those who die must be dead, and those who come back alive have basically made some great discoveries. No matter how big or small, you can receive rewards that meet their expectations on Paradise Island.

There is a big map in Han Xiufen's room. Many places on this map are still blank. Every time a little bit of blank space is reduced, it means that these places have come into human sight.

Baron Bamons called Han Xiufen's generous behavior the light of mankind, believing that this was the contribution of civilized people to the world and should be recorded in history. He also wrote a passionate letter to their Stuart dynasty, introducing the Ming Dynasty, a newly discovered Far East power.

Han Xiufen had no idea what he said in the letter, but no matter what he said, it was a good thing.

In return, Han Xiufen also reported to Yun Zhao about her political interactions with Baron Bamons, and told Yun Zhao that the British, Portuguese and Spaniards were planning to occupy India, and she eagerly hoped that the Lantian imperial court could also interfere. At least from the current situation, India is very large and fully accommodates the Ming Dynasty, Britain, Portugal, Spain and the Dutch.

If not, everyone will confirm this after a brutal naval battle.

She is very confident about it.

The oppression of the Dutch's ability to move around the South China Sea and around the China Sea is the goal that Han Xiufen is striving for, and now and next two years are a critical time.

From Baron Bamons, Han Xiufen knew that the economic development of the Netherlands, that is, the Netherlands, has reached a high level.

The northern region, led by the Netherlands and Zeeland provinces, is very developed in industry and commerce. Large-scale concentrated handicraft workshops have appeared in some large cities such as Amsterdam, Middleburg, Flissinn, etc., and the wool textiles, fishing and shipbuilding industries are well-known.

Amsterdam is also an important business port in Europe, with a huge merchant fleet and frequent trade with foreign countries.

Thirty-three years ago, the Dutch regained a certain degree of autonomy from Spain's Philip III. However, this autonomy is extremely unstable, which is the biggest worry in the Dutch.

Since Philip III struggled with the wealth of the powerful Spain, these ambitious merchants in the Netherlands began to seek the path of complete independence from Philip IV.

Therefore, the Far East is not the focus of the Netherlands. Most of the directors of the Dutch East India Company believe that how to completely free the Netherlands from Spain's custody is the top priority at present.

The reason why Baron Bamons said these things through chatting was that he told Han Xiufen without any bottom line that the Dutch could plot at this time.

Han Xiufen deeply agreed and led Baron Bamons as his confidant.

They even established a mechanism for intelligence exchange and reached a limited military mutual assistance contract.

In short, Malacca is now a good time for the Blue Sky Fleet to achieve great success.

The maid Seville passed by the window holding a basket full of dirty clothes. Judging from the position where she had the ring, the ghost woman was pregnant again.

If Han Xiufen was not mistaken, the child in this woman's belly was not Zhang Mingliang's, but Liu Chuanli's.

Since Seville, who received a generous reward from his previous child, has not looked down on other men very much.

Han Xiufen sighed and said to Leoni, who was standing aside as a clerk: "Call those two guys here for me."

Leonie looked at Han Xiufen, then looked at Seville who was away and pleaded: "This is a private matter between them. Zhang and Liu look very happy, and Seville is also very happy. This is a good love. Do you have to break them up?"

Han Xiufen glared at Leoni and said, "We want to discuss how to drive your father away from Java Island. The demand for sugar in the Ming Dynasty is very high now. We want to grow sugar cane from Java Island."
