- On the Sao Tome Island in the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa, Nanjiro rode a horse and patrolled the island very leisurely.
??Nanjiro was born in the Shimazu family on the Japanese island of Kyushu. He is the younger brother of the family governor. He has always been mainly responsible for the Shimadzu family's overseas trade and colonial development.
It was under Nanjiro¡¯s planning that Sao Tome Island was captured from the Portuguese.
Nanjiro really likes the S?o Tom¨¦ Island in front of him. He rides a horse around the island every day to take a look.
Sao Tome is a volcanic island, with highlands above 500 meters above sea level accounting for two-fifths of the island¡¯s area.
There are many mountains here, with 12 peaks over 1,000 meters tall. The highest peak, S?o Tom¨¦, is 2,024 meters above sea level. There are also a large number of virgin forests in the center of the mountains.
The south is only 5 kilometers away from the equator, and the climate is humid and rainy. The annual rainfall on the south slope can reach 7,000 mm, making it one of the rainiest areas in Africa.
There is neither scorching heat nor cold winter on the island. The mountains and plains are covered with lush forests. No matter morning, evening or noon, the mountains are always shrouded in clouds and mist. From a distance, they look like gauze hanging on the treetops.
When the clouds and fog meet the trees, they condense into crystal water droplets on the leaves, roll down to the ground, and form flowing springs and waterfalls.
Therefore, the gurgling water of mountain streams continues all year round, converging into hundreds of meandering rivers, large and small, like jade belts dotting this beautiful island.
There are no traces of artificial carvings, no noise and pollution, but some natural beauty and intoxicating poetry. Especially at the southern end of Sao Tome Island, the coastline is twists and turns, the waves are beating against the cliffs and rocks, and the sea water is washing the soft beaches, coconut palms and so on. The forest is swaying in the sea breeze, creating a tropical coastal scenery.
When he first landed on this island, Nanjiro was deeply amazed and attracted by the scenery on this island. He has traveled to many places in the world and has seen too many beautiful scenery.
But the scenery here was his favorite, so under his planning, the Shimazu family, together with the Japanese king of Japan and some of the big names who supported the Japanese king, sent troops to defeat the Portuguese on the island not far away. , brought this beautiful island under the rule of the Japanese state.
¡°After I really defeat the Portuguese, I must think of a good name for this place.¡±
Nanjiro rode a horse, admiring the beautiful scenery on the island, looking at the sea where the water and the sky meet, and then looking back at the thousand-meter peak on the island. He felt relaxed and happy.
"Yundu?"
"Fog?"
"None of them are very good, and they can't describe the beauty here very well. The beauty of clouds and mist is just part of it."
Nanjiro shook his head slightly while thinking about the name.
The main reason why he has not changed the name here is because he has never thought of a good name, a name worthy of this beautiful island.
In addition, there are the Portuguese. They have never given up and will not give up and hand over S?o Tom¨¦ Island to the Japanese.
¡°Pah~pah~¡±
Soon, Nanjiro rode his horse and came to a gentle beach. The sound of whipping came, and Nanjiro followed the sound and looked over.
I saw some Japanese supervisors waving whips in their hands and constantly urging the large number of Kunlun slaves to hurry up and build forts, ports, bunkers, city walls and the like. 牺如 bxwx.co 牺如
There are a large number of these Kunlun slaves. Each one has dark skin and strong body. They are constantly stirring mortar and using cement and steel bars to build strong fortresses to defend against enemy attacks.
With the existence of cement and steel bars, the construction speed was very fast. Forts stood one after another, and the ferocious barrels of cannons were exposed. The simple docks and ports originally built by Portugal also took on a new look, turning into docks and ports built with cement. The port can accommodate large ships.
"Um?"
Nanjiro looked at everything in front of him and couldn't help but frown slightly.
The progress is much slower than I imagined. According to the plan, the port, dock, fort, bunker, and city wall should be almost completed, but now only about half of it is completed.
Once the Portuguese launch a massive attack, it will be difficult for the more than a thousand people close to the island to resist.
"Why is construction so slow?"
Nanjiro asked Hirata Ichiro who was responsible for building the fortifications.
Ichiro Hirata is just an ordinary samurai and has not yet received a Han surname.??
Although according to the vassal states agreement of the Ming Empire, the relationship between the Ming Empire and the vassal states is very close, and there is even an alliance relationship, this is limited to the Japanese mainland, and for overseas colonies, let alone Japanese people. .
Even if it is the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, those vassal states established overseas by the princes of the Ming Dynasty, when they have conflicts and competition for interests with others, the Ming Empire will not take care of them.
There is no way to control it, because many times it is the vassal states and colonies themselves that compete and rob each other, and it is impossible to favor one side. What's more, if you go overseas, you must have such an awareness.
There is only one situation in which the Ming Empire will take care of it, and that is when the Ming people are deliberately killed, such as fighting for a colony. The Ming people cannot defeat them and surrender. If you kill the Ming people again, the Ming Empire will come forward. , initiate corresponding retaliation procedures.
There are also the Fan State of He Ming and the colonial business bank to snatch the colonies. You cannot hurt those ordinary Daming people, otherwise the Daming Empire will start the retaliation process.
??About these, basically everything has been spread around the world, and everyone knows it, but the Japanese people and the Ming people are different. After all, they are people from the vassal country, not the Ming people. Mi He Mi
They surrendered, and the Portuguese will not let you go easily, especially since the two sides have accumulated a lot of hatred because of Sao Tome Island
