- The reason why they ran so far was first of all because the pirate fleet was so stubborn that they chased them for half a month before giving up.
In addition, the northeasterly wind blows in the North Indian Ocean this season, and the ocean current flows in a counterclockwise circular pattern. Various reasons have led to their current predicament of being far away from the Indian subcontinent and even further away from Goa.
Use a sextant to measure it, my dear, it¡¯s almost on the equator. No wonder the pirates didn't dare to pursue him. It turned out they were in the windless zone.
Macaron and the three captains had a meeting with Xiao Luo to discuss what to do next.
Even Xiao Luo admitted that under the current circumstances, it is obviously unrealistic to travel nearly 4,000 miles against the wind and ocean current to go to Goa.
There is only one solution for now, which is to sail upstream along the equator.
The equatorial countercurrent coincides with the equatorial calm zone and is a common current in the equatorial ocean. It runs straight east all year round and can send them directly to the South China Sea.
Seeing that it was impossible to go, Xiao Luo was naturally very depressed. Macron comforted him and said, Malacca also has a Portuguese fleet, so it would not be a bad idea to join the Governor of Malacca, right?
Xiao Luo, who was almost lame after being deceived, steeled himself and nodded, that was all he could do.
"Turn east, target Nanyang!" Xia Xin gave the order to the wheelhouse.

At the same time, in the sky eighty miles away to the north, a blue hot air balloon slowly landed on a two-masted Indian sailboat.
There were fifteen dhows surrounding the ship, which were obviously the pirate fleet that drove the two large ships into the equator.
However, although the man who got off the hot air balloon was wearing an Indian wrap skirt, he had a face from the Ming Dynasty.
Not just him, there were many people from the Ming Dynasty wearing Indian clothes on the boat, and of course there was the third brother. It¡¯s just that they are all tanned by the scorching sun on the Indian Ocean, and you can¡¯t tell who is from which country unless you look closely.
"How is it?" The leader, a thin man, asked the investigator in Cantonese accent.
¡°Representative, they went east.¡± The investigator replied. It turned out to be another representative.
¡°Okay, follow us from a distance and be careful not to be discovered by them.¡± The representative ordered his captain.
He is none other than Liang Qin, the group¡¯s plenipotentiary representative in Goa. The former vice chairman of Nanhai Group was the main person responsible for the "Twelfth Month Stock Difficulty". After taking the initiative to plead guilty and accept punishment, and begging hard, he got the opportunity to atone for his crimes - Liu Zhengqi went to Cairo, and he went to Goa.
Although they all serve as plenipotentiary representatives abroad, Liang Qin's life in Goa was much more depressing than that of the famous Liu Yuanwai.
The reason is very simple - four words: "Make distant friends and attack close friends".
The Ottomans and the Ming Dynasty are incompatible with each other, so everyone can safely make friends or even form an alliance.
But Portugal had already reached out to the Ming Dynasty, and was beaten up by the coast guard fleet and kicked out of Macau.
Although the deputy king of Goa was forced by the situation and signed an armistice treaty with the Jiangnan Group. However, as the Nanhai Group continues to exert its efforts in Nanyang, the conflicts of interest between the two parties have become more and more serious, and the overt and covert conflicts have become more intense.
Once the armistice agreement expires, it is estimated that the brains will be ripped out again.
In this case, Liang¡¯s life is naturally very tight.
Whenever news of a conflict between the two sides came from Nanyang, Bruno would immediately summon him to the palace.
If the Portuguese took advantage, Bruno would show off and show off his sarcasm.
If the Portuguese suffers a loss, Bruno will use him as a punching bag and scold him. He even threatened to hang him if the Nanhai Group didn't know how to restrain itself
With more and more Southeast Asian countries and tribes recalling my father¡¯s love back then. Representative Liang was called to the palace to scold him every three days.
Because every time he was scolded, it meant that his own people were taking advantage of him, so Representative Liang felt both pain and happiness.
Over time, he felt that he was becoming a bit abnormal. I feel uncomfortable every few days without being scolded
The Portuguese are also very picky. This is not only their problem, but a common problem in all European countries. They cherish their own unique skills and guard against outsiders like thieves, lest they be stolen.
¡°In addition, they also have to guard against Ming people from colluding with those Indian princes. Therefore, Representative Liang was not able to move freely in Goa. Not only was he under surveillance at all times, but he was also unable to leave Portuguese territory.
Liang Qin has had enough of this kind of life. He attached great importance to this 'rescuer' operation, so he thought that he could make a contribution and asked the young master to transfer him back to his country.
So he prepared early as planned. One year in advance?The crew all relaxed with such warm hospitality.
However, Sebastian panicked like a dog. Because he suddenly remembered that Portugal had invaded here several times. Although they were all repulsed by the locals, they suffered huge casualties each time.
The Bandan Kingdom was built by the Tianfang believers with the power of repelling the Portuguese. If they knew that he was the king of Portugal, would they go crazy with joy?
He was so frightened that he didn¡¯t even dare to leave the cabin, and even had to eat in the cabin
Seven days later, his knight Macaron came in to see him and almost fainted from the smell.
After being ventilated for a while, Macaron regained his composure and told the poor king that the Sultan here was about to send a fleet to Luzon and invited us to accompany him
We really have no position to say that we want to go to Malacca, otherwise they will have to turn against us. So I had to agree
"That means you can't go to Malacca?" The king said quietly: "Go wherever you like, I'm used to it" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
