The triangular trade routes on the East Ocean are very consistent with the movement of currents.

Even if you have to complete the entire route along the coast of Seville, Sanghai in Africa, Kirinwei in Asia, and Wei Port, the entire route can end within 240 days.

If the rest time is shorter and the goal is clear enough, you can even go twice a year.

However, for the Han general Yang Ce, he would have to travel this route once a year.

He could not run too fast, because he had less and less work at sea, and the nobles who were sold back to Portugal, England, France and Spain were rarely caught for a second time after escape.

Over the years, the Europa sailors who were traveling this route were almost caught by him for a whole generation.

Even continuing to loot on this route was no longer profitable for him.

Route, route.

Without a ship, is it still a route?

If the route has the ability to sanction his country, Spain, if Spain is willing to fight to protect the route, Yang Ce's troops may suffer a lot of damage, but this can increase the courage in the hearts of merchants exploring triangular trade.

But the Spanish navy was willing to expel his fleet after it crossed the Strait of Gibraltar. Yes, it was expulsion rather than attack.

The ships with Chinese characters were deterred by the Spanish navy. Most naval generals could not tell whether it was Ming or Han. They expelled Yang Ce not because of his identity, but because of the rules. The Spanish checked the company and ship quotations of ship dealers in accordance with Li Dan's order.

Only those who have company ships can trade in the Sevilla Min Concession, otherwise they can only leave after obtaining supplies at any port along the coast, and have no trade power.

Because Yang Ce fled every time he saw the Spanish Navy's huge Garen ship, which looked like a shadow, and he was driven away by the Western Navy at least twenty-five times before he was finally approached by the Spanish Navy once, so he learned that he could also go to the Spanish port to replenish supplies as long as he was not discovered, he was actually the infamous pirate in this area.

After the route could not benefit Yang Ce, he returned to the fairy island of Han, namely Madagascar, last year. After arguing with King Lin Afeng, they changed their strategy in the East.

No more robbery of passing merchant ships.

At the beginning of the seventh year of Wanli, Yang Ce, who was not satisfied with looting Portuguese merchant ships, ransacked Portugal's gathering place in Brazil, El Salvador.

El Salvador means savior in Portugal and Spanish. There are two cities called El Salvador in Portugal, four in Spain, and the number in Asia now reaches a terrifying seventeen.

If it weren't for Chen Mu's arrival, the number of renamed cities in this city would continue to grow.

The result of the robbery made Yang Ce extremely angry.

He grabbed some mahogany, cloth and tobacco, as well as a large amount of hard-to-transport beef and mutton and living livestock, and liberated more than 2,000 black slaves.

There is so little gold and so little silver.

Without gold or silver, Yang Ce wanted to ask these poor Portuguese, what did he use to take his younger brother to Changshengxiao?

There is no doubt that the strategy changes failed.

It is not feasible to loot the towns. The towns that can be looted by him are very poor. Some Portuguese gathering places can only be captured by two boats. There are at most a hundred Portuguese inside. What can I grab?

Those wealthy towns, such as the coast of Spain and the coast of New Spain, either under the protection of the Spanish Navy or under the protection of Chen Mu, have reasons why he cannot take action, not to mention... even if he takes action, he cannot beat it.

There was no way. Yang Ce did not go to Changsheng this year. He sold the goods he got from Brazil at the docking station of the Qilin Guard and placed some orders for bird guns. He was so dirty that he didn't even dare to mention artillery or warships, so he simply drove back to the Sanghai, Africa.

He gave himself a vacation and took a break for more than half a year.

Spain was the one who gave them the opportunity to develop healthily. To be precise, it was a Spanish baron. His name was too long and he couldn't remember it. Yang Ce would call him Taichang for now.

As mentioned above, few nobles appeared on this sea for the second time after their families received high ransoms from Yang Ce, but few mean that it is not without them.

Taichang is one of them, and he was caught by Yang Ce four times.

I caught it once and kept the meal for two months. This adds up to the time they spent together... Yang Ce calculated with his fingers and calculated that it was seven months.

If other European nobles were fat pigs to Yang Ce, they were just waiting for the New Year to slaughter and eat meat; then the Baron Taichang from Spain was an old hen who could lay golden eggs. He was caught for the second time. Every time he came over, Yang Ce was served with good wine and food, and even found a woman from the Sanghai Empire.

The ransom was in place and sent to the ship, and waved his hand to him, and greeted him to come again next time.

There is no way, business is becoming more and more difficult. There are fewer and fewer warriors like Taichang who know there is a tiger in the mountain but are still tirelessly traveling to Tiger Mountain.

If this continues, Yang Ce can only go to southern Africa to dig gold mines and sell them to New Spain for money.

Why does Taichang keep coming here?

He was a veteran. He participated in the Battle of Lebanto in his early years. He was injured and disabled in the Battle of the right leg and could not fight again. He turned his eyes to the road to gain wealth.

What makes money faster in this era? There is no doubt that it is navigation trade. What makes money the most in navigation trade? It is naturally slave trade.

Moreover, in recent years, the market for slave trade has become increasingly hot, and there is no way, and the supply and demand relationship has been changed.

Portugal's colonies in Brazil were short of people, while Spain's colonies in Peru were even short of people.

People have been dead in Potosi's silver mine, but half of New Spain was taken away by Chen Mu, and Chile in the south was also under control by Shao Tingda. Not only did they not allow Peru's Governor's District to recruit people, they also wanted to return the Indians they occupied. So where could people come?

Africa.

The West India Council kept giving trade rewards to the country, hoping that a captain could transport people to the West Indies.

Yang Ce was stuck on the sea with merchants. It would be nice if three of the ten ships could carry prisoners who failed in the war to leave Africa. This little person was far from filling Potosi's manpower gap.

Therefore, the reward given by the West India Council is getting higher and higher.

Taichang was also a fish that missed the net. He has been to Africa seven times, was caught four times, and successfully sold the prisoners he bought to the New World three times, which has indeed made a lot of money. Moreover, his experience of being captured has also made him understand Yang Ce's temperament.

He finally felt that he could discuss something with Yang Ce.

"General Yang, just let me sail here. I buy goods and pay taxes to you every ship so that I can make money and pay more money to you next time." Taichang said as he spread his hands to Yang Ce and said, "If you want more money, I can also provide you with information. France is fighting. General Chen of the Ming Empire looted Bordeaux this year and grabbed a lot of money. Why not set up a tax card here and lead your troops there to support him?"

Yang Ce clapped as he heard this. He didn't know that Chen Mu had already hit Europa, and he had wanted to go there and grab it!

This is a beautiful misunderstanding. Yang Ce did not know that it was not Chen Mu but Chen Jiujing in France.

But he did accept too often's advice and collect taxes.
