- News that Al Hoceima Port had been looted by pirates spread quickly.
The King of Spain was furious and ordered a reward of 1 million Ming silver coins to hunt down the Hand of God pirate group. As long as he could provide valid information about the pirate group, he could even get a sky-high bonus of 100,000 Ming silver coins.
At the same time, Spain has also formed a powerful navy, preparing to completely eliminate this bold pirate group here in the Mediterranean.
The port of Hoceima is very close to the Spanish mainland. This is simply like looting a prosperous colonial port under the eyes of the Spaniards.
This is a disgrace to the Spanish matadors and a provocation to the great Spanish Empire.
Spain must give the toughest response.
It¡¯s just that Spain has not yet investigated the information about this pirate group, and something happened again in West Africa.
The Spanish colony of Accra in West Africa.
Accra was originally a colonial stronghold affiliated with Glucose. As early as decades ago, the Portuguese had begun to invade here, carry out colonial activities, plunder gold and diamonds, and sell black slaves here. Even the origin of the Gold Coast is the same. Got it because of this place.
Accra is located on the back of the Gulf of Guinea, and was later the capital of Ghana. Ghana, a place rich in gold and diamonds, has always been the most important Portuguese colonial stronghold in the Gulf of Guinea.
After two failed wars with Spain, although Portugal desperately wanted to keep Accra, it eventually had to cede it to Spain and it has since become a Spanish colonial stronghold.
Relying on Accra, Spain can plunder gold and diamonds worth millions of taels of silver from the huge radiation area every year. It is definitely a hen that lays golden eggs.
At this moment, it is Accra¡¯s first treasure-lucking day in the first quarter.
There are several treasure ships parked in the port. The treasure ships are filled with gold, silver and diamonds plundered from here last season. In addition, there are a large number of black slaves, ready to be sold to the Mediterranean.
Although people in the Ming Dynasty did not like black slaves, many people were still willing to buy black slaves because they were cheap. They were a good choice for growing sugar cane on plantations.
Trading black slaves is even more profitable than robbing gold!
There are many local indigenous tribes, and they are constantly at war with each other. You only need to use very cheap things to obtain a large number of captives from hostile tribes from these tribes.
Most of the black slaves in Africa were actually purchased from the local indigenous people in this way. The colonists rarely caught these slaves themselves, because it was not only inefficient, but also caused casualties themselves.
This is also a common phenomenon in African colonization. Colonization cannot go deep into the interior. It can only establish colonial strongholds along the coastline or riverbanks, and rely on the strongholds to carry out colonial plunder.
In addition, various diseases on the African continent are very scary, the most terrifying of which is yellow fever, which has an extremely high mortality rate and is highly transmissible.
¡°Both the European colonists and the colonists from the East were very concerned about this disease and did not dare to go deep into the interior of Africa. They could only start colonial competition on the coastlines and rivers.
Accra is the most important colonial stronghold in Spain on the golden coastline. It not only concentrated the income of this colonial point last quarter, but also the wealth of many surrounding colonial strongholds has been transported here and is waiting to be transported back to Spain.
Box after box of gold and silver treasures are constantly being loaded onto the cargo ship. The Spanish army is responsible for escorting the ship, which possesses advanced artillery and muskets purchased from the Ming Empire. ãá reduce  5 5 zw . com ãá
¡°In addition, it is a secret operation, and only a few people know the time and location. It can be said that it is basically foolproof.
But who knew that when the treasure ship was about to set off after loading the treasure, a pirate group consisting of more than a dozen large ships arrived in Accra as scheduled on the sea outside Accra Port.
As if he had calculated the time accurately, he arrived at the Port of Accra almost without missing a beat, and took over all of the quarterly profits of several Spanish colonial sites in West Africa, a huge wealth of more than five million taels of silver. In one fell swoop, It was completely looted, and not even a hair was left to the Spaniards.
But things didn¡¯t end there.
A few days later, it was Sunset City, a colony belonging to the Japanese country, also located in the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa.
Sunset City was the first colonial stronghold established by the Japanese after they arrived in West Africa. The location was chosen very well, close to a natural and excellent harbor. 牺如 ti&a??The white-skinned pig that robbed! "
Dongfang Yue cursed and organized the military forces in Sunset City to prepare for battle.
¡°Compared with robbing gold and silver treasures in Accra, this time, this group of pirates did not aim to rob.
As soon as more than a dozen pirate ships entered the Sunset Port, they began to bombard the ships, buildings, and Sunset City in the port. Mi He 9306& #22914
Dongfang Yue watched with her own eyes as the ships she had worked so hard to save enough money to buy were sent to the bottom of the sea by this group of pirates. Some of the ships that were not sunk were even doused with oil and set on fire.
I saw with my own eyes that Sunset City, which was finally built with great difficulty, was bombarded into ruins by hundreds of cannons from a dozen pirate ships.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? These pirates even started killing people in Sunset City, killing people directly when they saw them, regardless of gender, old or young, and didn't care whether you were an ordinary citizen or not.
In the end, after Dongfang Yue paid a heavy price, he was able to repel the pirates. Of course, it is also possible that the pirates were almost killed and they left with satisfaction after robbing some wealth
