- "Now that things here are on track, I'm going to leave for the time being. Everything else is left to you to look after. You must proceed with caution."
Soon, another three days passed.
After hearing about it, little fat Ed and Viscount Megan came to the dock to say goodbye to Zhao Hongyu.
Pedro and Lano had already received the news the day before and came quietly to contact Zhao Hongyu.
So, they did not show up on this day.
After all, the less people know about what the two of them are going to do, the better.
Now Zhao Hongyu is explaining to a genetic man who stayed behind in Lisbon together with five hundred genetic men soldiers.
What they have to do is very simple, which is to speed up the construction of the concession and manage the quality of construction there. At the same time, he supervises Little Fatty Ed¡¯s product promotion and product sales.
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.
And the funds that Pedro and Llano will need in the future will be handed over to them through the hands of this genetic man, from Little Fatty Ed.
It can be said that this genetic man is completely equivalent to the consul officer who Zhao Hongyu stayed in the Lisbon Concession and handled everything on behalf of the Song Empire.
"Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely make no mistakes here. I will implement it step by step according to your plan."
This genetic consular officer assured Zhao Hongyu.
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Then please do everything."
Weigh anchor! Raise the sail!
On the deck of the Sea King, the genetic sailors were constantly busy.
The big sail on the pole was raised, and the sailors below shouted the number to pull the rope or turn the winch. Everything was so orderly.
France, here I come!
According to his own plan, Zhao Hongyu gave up going to Madrid.
Because of the emergence of Pedro and Rano, he must now go to France to reach an agreement with France.
Because this is related to the uprising of Pedro and Llano, and it is also related to whether they can successfully kill the Spanish Empire in the future.
¡°With the participation of the French, Zhao Hongyu predicts that Pedro and Rano will have a high success rate in their restoration.
¡°Maybe, after defeating the Spanish Empire in the future, Portugal¡¯s territory may be expanded.
Thinking about it, Spain has to deal with the military threat in the Netherlands, and at the same time it has to withstand attacks from the French and resistance from the Portuguese. It can be said that it has to deal with both the east and west fronts.
This is definitely not something the Spaniards can bear.
Spain seems to be very powerful now, but in fact it is just a weakling.
With the emergence of the little butterfly Zhao Hongyu, the collapse of the Spanish Empire can only accelerate, not slow down.
¡°Besides, Zhao Hongyu is keeping an eye on the Spanish interests in Central America.
As long as the Spanish Empire ceases to exist, then after Zhao Hongyu takes possession of Central American interests, they 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 doesn't even have this method, he will really be in vain.
The British areas of Virginia and Pennsylvania also need to be captured. Zhao Hongyu does not want European colonies to appear on the American continent.
In the minds of Zhao Hongyu, Wang Shan, Zhang Tie and Song Hu, the entire American continent, including South America, belongs to the Song Empire and belongs to them. As for the Europeans, they can go to hell.
They want to establish a super empire across the entire American continent, and then rule the east and west remotely.
This idea has to be said to be crazy, but it is not impossible in this era.
Everything depends on Zhao Hongyu¡¯s development and their methods.
The Sea King slowly left the dock in Lisbon, and its huge hull sailed towards the depths of the sea.
There are more and more ships berthed in Lisbon Port, so there are many ships outside the port waiting to enter the port.
When everyone saw the huge hull structure of the Sea King and the muzzles of the 108 cannons, they were all stunned.
It has to be said that the "Ferocious" of the Sea King is still very intimidating.
¡®Swaggering¡¯ into the deepIn the sea, the sailors used the sails to turn the ship's bow and sail towards the Mediterranean Sea.
Lisbon is located at the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea, so as long as you sail a short distance, it will be like the Mediterranean Sea.
And because Lisbon is very close to the back coastline of the African continent, after sailing for half a day on the Sea King, you can often see Africa's unique single-pole triangular sailing ship.
These ships are not engaged in long-sea voyages. They are ships that shuttle between the Port of Ceuta in Africa, the Port of Serbia at the southern tip of Portugal, and the Port of Lisbon every day.
The owners of this kind of boat are black people or Arabs with their heads wrapped in cloth and long robes. These people are called Moors in Europe.
There are many ships coming and going here at the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea.
Large and small boats and fishing boats are often encountered, which shows that the Mediterranean is indeed the busiest sea area in the world.
? Even in reality this is the case.
Those passing ships, looking at the Sea King flying the five-star red flag, were dumbfounded as if they had seen a giant ocean beast, showing silly looks.
Because they have never seen such a large ship. You must know that the ships from various European countries in this era are usually only one-third the size of the Sea King.
Of course, some captains looked down upon Zhao Hongyu¡¯s Sea King, thinking it was just a showpiece.
After all, with such a large hull, if you fight with it, the probability of being hit by artillery is also very high, right?
The reason is simple, the goal is big.
It¡¯s just that these dismissive captains don¡¯t know that the Sea King¡¯s huge hull makes it look like a big target, but its ship-borne artillery also has a long range.
Therefore, if there is a fight, it can effectively deal with its enemies and destroy the opponent outside the range of the opponent's artillery.
The range of ship-borne artillery in the seventeenth century was only a few hundred yards, but the ship-borne artillery of the Sea King reached two nautical miles.
What kind of concept is this? Even an idiot knows it.
Besides, the hull of the Sea King is also very resistant to strikes and has strong defensive power.
Because the wood used for its hull is a special kind of wood found on the American continent.
In addition, small pieces of iron are inlaid on the outside of the hull, which greatly improves the defense strength.
These are not features of the ships currently popular in Europe.
Of course, the data of the Sea King is completely confidential in the Song Empire. It is normal for Europeans not to know. If they want to obtain various data about the Sea King, it will take several years.
In a few years, God knows what Zhao Hongyu will develop into.
You know, the letter sent by Zhang Tie said that now Ontario Lake City has even produced iron fishing boats and imitation disposable shoulder-mounted rocket launchers.
I don¡¯t think it will take a few years to build an aircraft carrier, but it should be possible to build an offshore fishery law enforcement vessel.
That kind of ship is comparable to the iron-clad battleships of the late Qing Dynasty. It is an absolute winner in this world.
Sitting on the loft at the stern of the ship, enjoying the warm sea breeze and watching the ships from various countries that appeared from time to time around the Sea King, Zhao Hongyu comfortably enjoyed the fragrant milk tea.
The milk was fresh milk bought from a dairy farmer when I left Lisbon.
Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t dare to buy from the Time and Space Trader. After all, the quality of Huaxia products was not guaranteed, and melamine was too scary.
Long and comfortable sofas were arranged in a circle on the top, and Zhao Hongyu completely regarded this place as an open-air resting place.
Every day, he would sit on it and bask in the sun.
There are four small wooden poles standing in the four surrounding corners, and Wang Shan ordered people to build a white awning. This way, you don¡¯t have to worry too much about the vicious sunlight.
You know, the sunshine on the sea is very poisonous.
Sarah was wearing a men's white shirt, trousers and leather boots, with her long golden hair tied up behind her head, and sat next to Zhao Hongyu. She squinted her eyes and sat there quietly, enjoying the quiet and comfortable time at sea.
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 was holding a monocular and constantly observing the passing ships, talking to herself What's this?
¡°Everything the little girl sees now is extremely novel, and these are things that cannot be seen on the American continent.
A fast boat with an Arabian triangular sail slowly sailed up from behind.
Because the Sea King has not yet been activated, the speed has slowed down.
The Arabian clipper quickly came to the side of the Sea King's hull and ran parallel to it.
On this double-deck Arabian speedboat, a bearded man wearing Arab costumes, a white cloth bun with a ruby ??embedded in the middle and a kite feather in the middle kept shouting something to Emma.
"What is this guy doing? I don't know him, why is he shouting at me?"
Emma couldn¡¯t understand what the bearded man said, so she walked over to Zhao Hongyu and said to him.
Zhao Hongyu turned back and leaned down to glance down. Because the Sea King had four decks and was deliberately raised a lot in height, the hull was much higher than the Arabian Clipper.
"O Allah, this ship is really huge. Exalted people, may I ask where you come from? I am the servant of Allah, Abdullah, Hessinler"
Zhao Hongyu has a language plug-in, so it is easy to understand what the other party is shouting.
"This guy was shocked by our ship. He kept introducing himself and hoped to get to know us." (To be continued.
