Chapter 312 Sail to the Mediterranean
"Now everything here is on track, I'm leaving for a while. All the rest is left to you. You must act cautiously."
Soon, three more days passed.
After hearing about it, the little fat Ed and Viscount Megan all came to the dock to say goodbye to Zhao Hongyu.
Pedro, Rano and the others had already received the news the day before, and had come quietly and had contacted Zhao Hongyu.
So, they didn't show up on that day.
After all, the fewer people know what they have to do, the better.
Now Zhao Hongyu is explaining to a left-behind genetic person that the genetic person stayed in Lisbon with 500 genetic soldiers.
What they have to do is to urge the construction speed of the concession and manage the construction quality there. At the same time, supervise the promotion of the little fat man Ed and the sales of goods.
At the same time, they also need to help Pedro and Rano carry out publicity in the Portuguese countryside and provide them with necessary support.
Moreover, the funds Pedro and Rano need to be handed over to them through the hands of this genetic person and from the fat man Ed.
It can be said that this genetic person is completely equivalent to Zhao Hongyu staying in the Lisbon Concession, representing the consular officer who handles everything in the Song Empire.
"Your Highness, don't worry, I will never make any mistakes here. I will implement them step by step according to your plan."
The consular official of the genetic person assured Zhao Hongyu.
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Then please give me everything."
Raise the anchor! Raise the sail!
On the deck of the King of the Sea, the Genetic sailors were constantly busy.
The large sails on the pole rose, and the sailors below shouted horns to pull the ropes or turned the winch, and everything was so orderly.
France, here I come!
According to his plan, Zhao Hongyu gave up going to Madrid.
Because of the appearance of Pedro and Rano, he must now go to France and reach a consistent agreement with France.
Because this is related to the uprising of Pedro and Rano, and it is also related to whether the Spanish Empire can be successfully killed in the future.
If the French were involved, Zhao Hongyu expected that Pedro and Rano would have a great success rate in restoration.
Maybe it will be possible that after killing the Spanish Empire in the future, Portugal's territory will expand a little.
Think about it, Spain has to deal with military threats from the Netherlands, and at the same time it has to withstand the attacks of the French and the resistance of the Portuguese. It can be said that he has to deal with both the east and west sides.
This is definitely not something the Spanish can bear.
Spain seems very powerful now, but in fact it is just a person who is strong outside and does the trick on the inside.
Zhao Hongyu, a small butterfly, appeared, and the collapse of the Spanish Empire could only accelerate, not slow down.
Besides, Zhao Hongyu is staring at the Spanish's interests in Central America.
As long as the Spanish Empire no longer exists, after Zhao Hongyu occupied the interests of Central America, it will legally belong to the Song Empire, right?
As for the Dutch colonies in Central America, just take your time.
There is always a way to deal with them. If Zhao Hongyu didn't even have this solution, he would have been in vain.
The British areas of Virginia and Pennsylvania are also to be captured. Zhao Hongyu does not want European colonies to appear on the American continent.
In the concepts of Zhao Hongyu, Wang Shan, Zhang Tie and Song Hu, the entire American continent, including South America, belongs to the Song Empire, and the Europeans care about their death.
They want to build a super empire throughout the American continent and then remotely control the East and the West.
This idea has to be said to be very crazy, but it is not impossible to accomplish in this era.
Everything depends on the development of Zhao Hongyu and the others and the methods.
The King of the Sea slowly left the dock in Lisbon, and his huge hull sailed to the depths of the sea.
There are more and more ships parked in the Port of Lisbon now, so there are many ships waiting to enter the port outside the port.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the huge hull structure of the King of the Sea and the muzzles of the 108 cannons.
It has to be said that the "fearing" of the King of the Sea is still very intimidating.
The sailors turned the bow of the boat and sailed towards the Mediterranean Sea.
Lisbon is located at the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea, so you can be as good as the Mediterranean Sea as long as you sail for a distance.
And because Lisbon is very close to the back coastline of the African continent, the King of the Sea can often foresee Africa's unique single-pole spinnaker ship after half a day of sailing.
These ships are either conducting long-distance navigation letters, they are ships that travel between the Port of Ceuta in Africa every day, as well as the Port of Serbia in the southern end of Portugal and the Port of Lisbon.
The owners of this kind of ship are black or Arabs with cloth strips on their heads and wearing wide robes. These people are called Moors in Europe.
There are many ships coming and going from the Mediterranean Sea.
Large boats, small boats, fishing boats can be encountered often, and it can be seen that the Mediterranean is worthy of being the busiest sea area in the world.
Even if it is actually the case.
Those passing ships, looking at the King of the Sea, which was flying five-star red flags, were as stunned as if they had seen the giant ocean beast, showing their silly appearance.
Because they have never seen such a large ship, we should know that the ships of European countries in this era are usually only one-third of the size of the King of the Sea.
Of course, some captains disdained Zhao Hongyu's Sea King and thought it was just a fancy.
After all, if such a large hull is fighting with it, the probability of being hit by artillery will be very high, right?
The reason is very simple, the goal is big.
But these disdainful captains didn't know that the huge hull of the Sea King seemed to have a large target, but its carrier-based artillery range was also long.
Therefore, if you really fight, you can effectively deal with its enemies and destroy the opponent outside the range of the opponent's artillery.
The range of carrier-based artillery in the 17th century was only a few hundred yards, but the carrier-based artillery of the King of the Sea reached two nautical miles.
What is this concept? Even idiots know it.
Besides, the hull of the Sea King is also very strong in resistant to strikes and has strong defense.
Because the wood used in its hull is a special kind of wood on the American continent.
In addition, there are also small iron pieces embedded on the outside of the hull, which has improved a lot of defense.
None of these are what the popular ships in Europe now have.
Of course, the data of the King of the Sea was completely confidential in the Song Empire. It is normal for Europeans to not know about it. If they want to obtain various data of the King of the Sea, it will take several years.
Within a few years, God knows what Zhao Hongyu will develop.
You know, the letters sent by Zhang Tie said that even the iron fishing boats and the disposable shoulder-mounted rocket launchers in Lake Ontario have been made.
I don’t think about it if I have made an aircraft carrier in a few years, but it should be possible to get a fishing law enforcement boat offshore.
That kind of ship can be compared with the iron battleships in the late Qing Dynasty, and it is an absolute master in this world.
Sitting in the attic of the stern boat, blowing a slightly warm sea breeze, and watching the ships of various countries appearing from time to time around the King of the Sea, Zhao Hongyu enjoyed the strong fragrance of milk tea comfortably.
When I left Lisbon, I found a dairy farmer to buy fresh milk.
Zhao Hongyu didn't dare to buy it from the time and space trading machine. After all, the quality of Chinese products is not guaranteed, and melamine is too scary.
The long and comfortable sofa was placed around the top, and Zhao Hongyu completely regarded this place as an open-air resting place.
Every day, he would come up to sit and bask in the sun.
In the four corners around, there were four small wooden poles. Wang Shan ordered people to build a white sunshade. In this way, there was no need to worry too much about the vicious sunshine.
You know, the sunshine on the sea is very vicious.
Sarah wore a man's white shirt, trousers and leather boots, raised her long golden hair and folded it behind her head, and sat next to Zhao Hongyu. She squinted her eyes and sat there quietly, enjoying this quiet and comfortable sea time.
Emma was also wearing a white men's shirt, brown linen trousers and brown leather boots, but she was not as quiet as Sarah. She kept observing the passing ships with a monocular lens, muttering to herself about what was going on.
The little girl now sees everything that is extremely novel, and these are not visible on the American continent.
A fast ship with Arab triangular sails sailed slowly from the rear.
Because the King of the Sea has not yet started the activation, the speed has slowed down.
The Arabian Clipper soon arrived on the side of the hull of the King of the Sea and went in parallel with it.
On this double-deck Arabian Clipper, a big beard wearing Arabic clothes and a ruby in the middle of the white cloth bag head, kept shouting something at Emma.
"What is this guy doing? I don't know him, so why should he shout at me?"
Emma couldn't understand the bearded man's words, so she walked to Zhao Hongyu and said to him.
Zhao Hongyu turned around and leaned down to take a look. Because the King of the Sea is on the four-layer deck and it has been deliberately increased a lot in height, so the hull is much higher than the Arabian Clipper.
"Oh Allah, this ship is so huge. Where are you from, noble people? I am the servant of Allah, Apudullah, Hessinle..."
Zhao Hongyu has a language plug-in, so it is easy to understand what the other party is calling.
