Later, Salvador in the northeastern region of Brazil. Of course, Brazil at this time was not called Brazil. The Portuguese Pedro Cabrabu first discovered this land and named it the 'True Cross Land' and declared it The land belongs to the Portuguese Crown.
At first, Portugal relied on mining a kind of mahogany in Brazil, dyed mahogany as its main source of economic income. The Portuguese word for mahogany is very similar to Brazil, so this land gradually became known as Brazil.
Of course, now that the Ming Dynasty has intervened, the name of this land will be named by the Ming Dynasty people in the future.
El Salvador and San Salvador on the island of Haiti are not the same place.
This place is the first colonial stronghold established by the Portuguese when they arrived here. It is a very small colonial town. Because the history is too short, the entire town is still very small. It is mainly to facilitate the mahogany trade with the local indigenous people.
However, since they came into contact with the Ming people in America, the Portuguese royal family also attached great importance to the 'True Cross Land' and sent Cabrabu south along the east coast of America to explore the route to the Ming Dynasty and obtain Trade rights with the Ming Dynasty.
So El Salvador suddenly became lively. A large number of businessmen came to El Salvador and used this as a base to do business with the Ming people in Penglai City in Golden Bay.
Of course, if a southern route can be opened up to contact the Ming people, El Salvador may also become an extremely prosperous trading point in the future.
Not long ago, the powerful Ming fleet passed by here, which made the Portuguese extremely excited. By going around the southernmost tip of America, they could indeed find a route to the Ming Dynasty.
In Salvador, Jo?o from the Portuguese royal family is counting a ship that has just returned from Penglai City. The ship is filled with goods from the Ming Dynasty. As long as these goods can be shipped back to Portugal, their value will be doubled immediately, allowing the royal family to make a lot of money. .
Since the Spaniards came into contact with the Ming Dynasty in the Americas, European traders have flocked to Portugal. As one of the protagonists of the sea in this era, Portugal was naturally not to be outdone.
Originally, Portugal¡¯s main colonial direction was eastward. They arrived in India first, and now they have monopolized the spice trade in India.
And now news has come back that in India, they have also met the Ming people and conducted friendly trade.
Things from the Ming Dynasty are very valuable, and they are also the most desired things in Europe.
"We were attacked by pirates in the Caribbean and lost one ship. Only the Maria came back."
Qiao Sang, the captain of the Maria, reported to Jo?o helplessly.
The Portuguese royal family is very supportive of external expansion and colonial trade. Almost all ships going out have shares of the Portuguese royal family. Two ships went to Penglai City to trade with the Ming Dynasty, but only one came back. This loss was very heavy.
"Do you know who it is?"
Jo?o frowned deeply. He had lost a ship. The remaining Maria has not yet returned to Portugal. There will definitely be pirates along the way.
"It's British~"
"They are the most notorious pirates on the sea. Now here in the Caribbean, there are British pirate ships everywhere, as well as Nordic Vikings."
Qiao Sang replied: "They are like sharks that have smelled blood, ready to devour every passing ship."
"These hateful British pirates~"
Joao couldn¡¯t help but clenched his fists. While he was angry, he said: ¡°We will also go to the Caribbean to loot other people¡¯s ships. Our losses must be recovered.¡±
¡°After all, the ships traveling on the sea in this era are almost all half-pirates and half-merchants. As long as they can rob them, they will rob them. If they can¡¯t rob them, they will think about doing business.
The Portuguese are like this, the Spanish are like this, the British, French, and Dutch are also like this, but the British are more shameless and directly issue privateering licenses to those ships and become official pirates.
"Yes~"
When Qiao Sang heard this, he nodded solemnly.
"How about Penglai City of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Is it possible that we could loot it?"
? Then Joao thought for a while and asked again.
The wealth of Penglai City has already spread among Europeans, and there are many people who want to take advantage of Penglai City.??'s ship, when did the Ming Dynasty and the Spaniards get involved? "
Soon, he noticed the two Ming ships next to them. Their huge size and flying dragon flags were very eye-catching and you could tell at a glance.
"Ask them, what does it mean?"
Jo?o thought for a while and gave the order.
Soon, a small boat rowed towards each other desperately, going to ask these Spaniards and Ming people what they wanted to do?
The boat goes quickly and comes back quickly.
¡°They said that a pirate ship finally arrived here, hoping to enter El Salvador to apprehend the pirates?¡±
The men under him came back in a hurry and said.
"Catch pirates?"
¡°The Ming Dynasty and the Spaniards hunted pirates together?¡±
Jo?o was slightly dumbfounded, and then said angrily: "They deliberately found an excuse to attack us in El Salvador. Let everyone prepare for war. I will teach them a lesson later and let them know that we in Portugal People are amazing." (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
