    Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean, was still under the rule of the Kingdom of Spain at this time and was Spain's most important island in the Mediterranean.

    There are many warships moored in the bustling Sicilian port. Among them, more than thirty warships have the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty hanging on it. It flutters in the wind and makes a hunting sound, making everyone who sees this flag unable to help.  Get excited about it.

    The people of Ming Dynasty came to Sicily, and everyone in Sicily was extremely excited.

    Because the people of Ming Dynasty represent wealth, they represent the white silver coins, various fascinating oriental goods and various business opportunities.

    ¡°The scenery is really nice!¡±

    Tian Erniu rode a horse and walked very leisurely on the streets of Sicily Port, admiring the exotic customs here with great interest, which was completely different from the cities and ports of the Ming Dynasty.

    Although Sicily was still under Spanish rule at this time, it was deeply influenced by the Italian Renaissance. Both people's clothing and architectural styles were full of Renaissance humanistic atmosphere.

    Although Tian Erniu has never had much experience in this area, he can still feel that the city here is more energetic than London, and people's faces are full of smiles.

    Of course, England at this time was still synonymous with poor pirates, and people here in Sicily, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, were generally relatively wealthy, and the commercial trade based solely on geographical location allowed the people here to live a prosperous life.

    "You still want to go shopping. The Duke of Australia is at war with the Ottoman Empire army. Should we speed up and attack the Ottoman Empire capital as soon as possible?"

    Beside Tian Erniu, Zhao Houhou looked at Tian Erniu and said helplessly.

    He originally led thirty warships to help Spain sweep away the hostile forces in the Mediterranean. Later, news of the development of the Ming Dynasty and the Ottoman Empire came, and orders from the Ming Dynasty were also conveyed, asking them to attack the capital of the Ottoman Empire.

    He has been waiting here in Sicily, waiting for Tian Erniu to arrive, and then they can attack Istanbul together.

    "I came here all night long, you have to let me rest for a day or two, right?"

    Tian Erniu pouted slightly. After he received the order from the Ming Dynasty, he immediately rushed from Hong Kong, the Ming Dynasty colony in Great Britain, to the Mediterranean. He just arrived in Sicily yesterday.

    "My hair has turned gray from waiting~"

    "Every day in Sicily, I feel so anxious."

    Zhao Houhou said helplessly.

    Who doesn¡¯t want to make great achievements?

    ?This is the only way to achieve success by fighting. If we don't seize the time to attack the Ottoman Empire's navy, coastal cities, and capitals now, they will have no share in it when the Australian army kills them.

    "I think you're not too idle, but you've been squeezed dry by the girls here, right?"

    Jiang Liang next to him said jokingly.

    "Haha~"

    Suddenly the three of them couldn't help but laugh.

    "I heard that there is the largest slave market in the Mediterranean in Sicily. Do you want to go shopping together?"

    After finishing laughing, Jiang Liang thought about it and suggested.

    "Let's go, let's go~"

    When Tian Erniu heard this, he immediately became interested and rode towards the slave market in the port of Sicily.

    Because of Sicily¡¯s special geographical location, almost all commercial trade in the Mediterranean passes through here. Among them, there are currently two largest trades, one is spices, silk fabrics, etc. from the East, and the other is the slave trade.

    In fact, the slave trade has been very popular in Europe since the Middle Ages. The most prominent people in the slave trade at the beginning were Viking pirates.

    Viking pirates from Northern Europe specifically went to Eastern Europe to capture Russians and sell them to various parts of Europe. Because so many Russians were captured, the Russians gradually became known as Slavs and slaves.  slave) is pronounced almost the same.

    The huge profits from the slave trade supported the Viking society for several centuries.

    On the Mediterranean side, because the demand for slaves in the Arab world is very strong, an Arab noble will often own hundreds or thousands of slaves, which stimulates the slave trade in the Mediterranean.

    Now, as the Ming Dynasty¡¯s demand for slaves continues to be strong and hot, and the road to sea travel has been opened, the slave trade in the Mediterranean has also increased.They have undergone strict training and are very loyal to their masters.  "

    Slave merchants gathered in front of Tian Erniu, Jiang Liang, and Zhao Houhou one by one, constantly selling the slaves in their hands.

    Ming merchants are relatively rare in the Mediterranean. In the past, some Ming merchants came to the Mediterranean through Egypt. They were very generous and did big business. Once upon a time, a big merchant came and directly  One man sold all the slaves in Sicily.

    So everyone is very enthusiastic, selling their slaves, and by the way, seeing if they can maintain friendship with Ming merchants, and see if they can buy some Ming goods, so that if they go back and forth once, their profits can be maximized.

    "Sorry~Sorry~"

    "We are not businessmen, we are members of the Ming Dynasty fleet. We are here just to have a look. If there are slaves that like them, they will buy some, but not many, so please don't surround us."

    Jiang Liang looked at these slave merchants and said in Spanish. The enthusiasm of the surrounding slave merchants suddenly decreased a lot. Although the people in the Ming Dynasty fleet were also rich, they were not in business after all.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
