- In the vast waters of the Southern Mediterranean, a large sailing ship is sailing towards Port Said in Egypt. This 'Jenny' flies the Spanish flag but is actually a French ship. It walks very carefully in this sea area. .
With the smoke and tension in Europe, various pirates are robbing merchant ships and ports unscrupulously, making going to sea more dangerous.
But becoming more dangerous also means it is full of benefits.
The raging pirates caused the price of goods from the East to rise rapidly. Originally, a pound of snow sugar only cost 0.5 Ming silver dollars. However, in just one month, the price of snow sugar increased several times.
European aristocrats who have become accustomed to enjoying this kind of luxury goods from the Ming Dynasty, snow sugar is absolutely indispensable in their daily life. It must be sucrose from the Nanyang region of the Ming Dynasty.
强牺 wanbar.net 读牺。 The sugar from the Tianzhu vassal country and the colonies is not acceptable, and it must be Ryukyu Sugar Industry¡¯s snow sugar is the best snow sugar. Whether you add some to tea, or eat desserts, bread, etc., it is a necessity.
In addition, tea, spices, silk, porcelain, glass products, etc. from the East are inseparable from the lives of European upper class nobles.
The war has led to a sharp decrease in the number of merchant ships, so that the prices of these commodities from the far East have skyrocketed, and the profits have been astonishingly large.
William, the captain of the Jenny, knew this very well, so even though it was extremely risky to go to sea, he still took the huge risk to go to sea for business and went to Port Said, Egypt, where there are a large number of goods from the far east. Cheap and relatively safer.
He did not dare to go to the Ming colonial islands in the Aegean Sea, even though the commercial trade there was more mature, there were more types of goods, and it was relatively cheaper.
The Ottoman Empire pirates here in the Aegean Sea are the most greedy demons and will chew up all your bones and swallow them clean.
¡°We are finally arriving in Port Said~¡±
William looked ahead with the binoculars. When he saw Port Said, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the journey from the Mediterranean coast of France to Port Said in Egypt is very close and does not take a few days, the situation is now very tense.
When he came out of the French port, he was flying the French flag. After reaching a certain distance, he changed it to the Spanish flag.
This time 75z*wo rg*.com Zhang Si. This is naturally done to avoid being robbed by pirates from both sides. Now everyone knows that the so-called pirates are just disguised by these countries.
If you have been flying the flag of a certain country, if you are unlucky and encounter pirates from a hostile country, they will rob you completely.
Especially since he is a Frenchman, and now he is facing the Spanish. Spain is extremely powerful at sea, with Sicily as the center in the Mediterranean Sea. There are Spanish fleets patrolling everywhere, specifically targeting French ships.
¡°Isn¡¯t Port Said just ahead?¡±
Beside William, Simon looked at the sea ahead and could vaguely see a busy port. He also breathed a sigh of relief.
Simon is a French Jew and a successful Jewish businessman with considerable assets.
However, as the wars between France and Spain have ended in failure over the years, France has ceded territory and paid indemnities and suffered heavy losses. Coupled with the war between Europe and the Ottoman Empire, France also sent troops to participate in the war at the call of the Pope.
This series of wars have had a huge impact on France. The people not only have to bear more taxes, but they also have to wait to be drafted into the battlefield.
Since ancient times, European countries, mainly when the domestic situation is tense and everyone is having a hard time, will naturally sharpen their knives against pigs and sheep. There is no doubt that these pigs and sheep are Jews.
There was strong rejection of Jews in Spain and Portugal a few years ago, so that a large number of Jews had to migrate to France and the Ottoman Empire. Later, some Jews migrated to Ningguo, a vassal state of the Ming Empire. go.
Although the Jews in France were not strongly ostracized, their lives were still very difficult. Kings and nobles were always trying to find ways to take money out of Jewish pockets, and ordinary people were also full of hostility towards Jews.
Especially as the situation in Europe becomes turbulent again and a war is imminent, the situation of the Jews in Europe becomes even more difficult.
???????????????????????He ordered the Jews to donate more than two million Ming silver coins. He wanted to use the money to buy muskets and Ming Dynasty people from the Ming Dynasty to deal with the possible outbreak of war in the future and compete with Spain for hegemony on land and sea.
"Two million Ming silver coins, this is an extremely huge number. Even though the Jews have always been good at business and specialized in loan sharking, they have considerable wealth.
¡°But having to come up with such a huge amount of wealth at once is just the beginning, and there may be more demands later. This also makes the Jews in France feel a huge crisis.
So after some discussions, many Jews decided to find a way out, and sent many people to various parts of the world to investigate and see where it was suitable for Jews to settle and live for a long time.
Zhida org.com Zhixiao. Some sent people to the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire's Sultan was very welcoming and friendly to the Jews. A large number of Jews became important ministers of the Ottoman Empire. There were even Jews who were responsible for managing the finances of the Ottoman Empire's Sultan. This was a good news. A large number of Jews in Portugal and Spain migrated to the Ottoman Empire.
Simon is also one of the many people who went to various places for inspection, and his destination is the Ning Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty.
King Ning of the Ming Dynasty reached an agreement with the Jewish ministers of the Ottoman Empire. He could accept some Jews to settle in Ning State, on the condition that they could give priority to the slaves acquired by the Ottoman Empire.

At first, tens of thousands of Jews migrated to the distant country of Ning and settled here.
In the past few years, I have been exchanging letters with European Jews. I have explained to everyone many times in the book that the Jews who moved to Ningguo have lived a peaceful, peaceful and equal life.
The Ningguo people had nothing to do with the Jews. They allowed the Jews to own their own land, manors, etc., and also allowed the Jews to engage in agriculture, business, etc., without any restrictions.
In terms of taxation, the Jews, like everyone else, did not deliberately target the Jews. At the same time, in Ningguo, the Jews still enjoyed freedom of belief. The enlightened His Highness Prince Ning did not ask the Jews to give up their beliefs, and people everywhere Christ, who does not believe, therefore does not hate the Jews.
This all sounds so good, and a large number of Jews want to immigrate to Ningguo.
The Ottoman Empire is certainly a good choice, but there is a huge conflict between the religion of the Ottoman Empire and the religion of the Jews. Many of the wars between Europeans and Middle Easterners are due to issues of faith.
The Jews did not feel that they were stronger than Europeans and could be rivals of the Ottoman Empire. In contrast, Ningguo, which had freedom of belief, was obviously the most ideal place.
"Mr. Simon, I can only take you to Port Said. If you want to continue to the east, I suggest you take a Ming ship."
"The Ming people have many ships and the prices are cheap. The key is that the Ming people's ships are very safe to travel on the sea. No one dares to provoke the Ming people unless they don't want to live anymore."
William looked at Simon next to him and seemed to remind him for the sake of money.
强 牺   7 5 w o g . o   牺 。 " Thank you Captain William, Far God with you! "
Simon sincerely thanks William.
Soon, the ship anchored in Port Said. Simon and a few followers got off the "Jenny" and looked at Port Said in front of him in confusion.
This time 7 5 zw or*g.*com Zhang Si. Port Said is a small port, but with the opening of the Egyptian Canal, its status has quickly become prominent. A large number of ships need to pass through here, and a large number of businessmen also gather here, so Port Said has also developed rapidly. There is a busy scene everywhere.
At the same time, it is different from the buildings in Europe. The atmosphere from the far east can be clearly felt here in Port Said. Buildings with oriental colors are being built rapidly, and at the same time, one can see the signboards. Write in this magical square script.
Simon doesn¡¯t know Ming Dynasty or Arabic. Fortunately, he was prepared in advance. Some of his entourage can speak Arabic and some can speak Spanish.
Zhida org.com Zhixiao. Therefore, Simon quickly found someone to find out how to get to Ningguo. He also knew that there was a difference between Ningguo in West Africa and Ningguo in Tianzhu. The Jews who moved to Ningguo all settled in Ningguo in West Africa.
Soon, Simon once again boarded a slave ship bound for the Ning Kingdom in West Africa and headed to Chixia City in West Africa. Chixia City is the core city of the Ning Kingdom in West Africa and is also the settlement place where Jews gather.
When you arrive in Chixia City, you can find the settled Jews, and then carefully examine the local situation to understand whether the place is really suitable for Jewish immigration and settlement
