- Al Hoceima, Morocco, on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
It is now summer, and the entire Mediterranean region is very hot, and Al Hoceima is no exception. The sea breeze from the Mediterranean makes people drowsy, so much so that Raul, the lookout at the lighthouse at the Al Hoceima port, can't help but yawn again and again.
Raul picked up a handful of water and rinsed his face. He suddenly became more awake.
Overlooking the Al Hoceima Port below, there are many ships in the port and it is extremely busy.
The black slaves looted from West Africa are constantly loading and unloading goods to the ships in the port. Among them are ivory, diamonds, gems and other valuable goods from West Africa. These are the things that the Ming people on the West Island like best. Of course, they can also directly Sold to Egypt.
There are a large number of Ming merchants in Egypt. It is said that the Egyptian canal is about to be dug. By then, ships will be able to go directly to the rich east through the Egyptian canal.
In addition to these valuable goods from West Africa, you can also see that the port here is full of slave ships, and a large number of slaves are queuing up to board the ship, ready to be transported to the West Island.
People in the Ming Dynasty liked white slaves, so the price of white slaves was higher than that of black slaves, especially the price of female white slaves, which often allowed slave traders to make huge profits.
This time, several slave ships arrived at the Al Hoceima port, ready to transport the white female slaves that Spain obtained through various shady means in North Africa to the West Island for sale to the Ming Dynasty.
Raul seemed to be able to see the scene when the slave traders got a box of Ming silver coins. It was indeed an intoxicating thing.
? ? ? ? Hoceima is very close to the Spanish mainland, less than 400 miles away.
It was originally a land belonging to the Ottoman Empire, but the declining Ottoman Empire was obviously unable to take care of the distant North Africa region, allowing the powerful Spaniards to occupy it. It became a Spanish colony and an important colonial stronghold for plundering North Africa, Morocco and neighboring Algeria.
A large number of merchant ships transporting goods and slaves from West Africa will anchor here for replenishment and rest. At the same time, Spanish ships returning from the West Island or Egypt will also anchor here. 牺如 suyingwang.net 牺如
Therefore, there are not only a large number of ships in the Al Hosaima port that are full of goods heading to the West Island or Egypt, but also a large number of merchant ships returning from Egypt and the West Island, loaded with a large amount of goods or gold and silver treasures from the Ming Dynasty.
The superior geographical location allowed the Port of Hoceima to develop rapidly. In just a few years, it has become Spain's most important colonial stronghold in North Africa, bringing tens of millions of taels of silver wealth to Spain every year. .
"Maybe I should consider changing my job~"
"Although the job of a watchman is comfortable, it does not make you rich."
Raul looked at the busy port and wondered whether he should change his job. After all, Spain was becoming more and more prosperous and powerful during this period, and there were many opportunities to make money.
The income of being a sailor and sailor is quite considerable. Si minus Si
I habitually picked up the telescope and looked out at the sea. Between the water and the sky, with the scorching sun, the sea surface seemed to be steaming. The mast of a ship could be seen in the mist, and then soon You can clearly see the patterns on the huge canvas of the sailboat.
The huge black skull is unusually eye-catching, and under the skull are two clenched crossed fists.
"Pirates!"
Lawton couldn¡¯t help but take a breath, and instantly felt that the air around him was getting colder.
¡°Dang~dang~dang~¡±
He desperately pulled up the rope connected to the alarm bell, and suddenly the alarm sounded. At the same time, he shouted loudly to the port below: "Pirates, pirates~There are pirates!"
After shouting, he looked overseas again and could clearly see the pirate ship that was approaching the Hoceima port with great momentum.
The number is huge, with more than twenty large ships.
"impossible!"
"How could there be such a powerful pirate, with more than 20 large ships?"
Soon, Raul couldn't help but frown.
The pirate group heading towards the Al Hoceima port in front of me is really unusual.
First of all, he had never seen this pirate flag before. It was different from all the known pirate flags.
The second thing is that the size of this pirate group is really too big.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?The pirates who had been lurking in also attacked and quickly seized the fort. With the cooperation of internal and external forces, Al Hosima Port, which did not have any numerical advantage, was captured by this pirate group in the blink of an eye.
"Haha~ I'm getting rich, I'm getting rich!"
In the Al Hoceima port.
Colt looked at boxes after boxes of Ming Dynasty silver coins being carried out. He couldn't help but want to go up and kiss them. Then he looked at the boats of white slaves, the huge ivory tusks, and the boats of white slaves. The ships were carrying goods from the Ming Empire, and he smiled even more happily.
"Haha, I really made a fortune this time."
"Just these few ships of white slaves, as long as they are transported to the West Sea Port or Egypt and sold to the people of the Ming Dynasty, they can be sold at a high price of at least 200,000 Ming Dynasty silver coins."
"There are also these two ships of Ming Dynasty goods. According to preliminary estimates, their value can reach 300,000 Ming Dynasty silver coins."
"This ship of ivory is the most valuable cargo. If an ivory is sold to a Ming merchant, it can be sold for at least hundreds of Ming silver coins. This ship of ivory is estimated to be worth hundreds of thousands of Ming silver coins."
¡°Together with other miscellaneous goods, commodities, etc., the goods and treasures we looted this time alone exceed one million Ming Dynasty silver coins.¡±
"In addition, all these ships in the port are intact. Suddenly, we have dozens more ships. It is definitely a huge profit!"
Mi He Mi. Next to Colt, Benjamin from France was counting the gains this time and shouting excitedly. It is really fast to make money from a capital-free transaction. The key is that this feeling is really good
