Valley Emperor

Today's South African waters are full of patrol ships of the Tang Navy, no matter whether they are pirate ships or ordinary merchant ships, or multi-purpose ships that run business and rob, or even Spanish and Portuguese warships that pass by. Honestly close the gun windows and sail within the route stipulated by the Datang Navy.

If you don't obey, you will be bombarded.

This is not because the Datang Navy is unreasonable. In fact, Datang governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, and pays attention to benevolence and righteousness, even overseas.

Moreover, the South African waters can now be said to have become one of the most important sea areas in the world.

The Datang Empire regarded this place as an outpost of trade with Europe. Merchant ships from the Tang Dynasty and European merchant ships gathered here, and then traded, and with the urgency of contemporary maritime merchants, if they did not impose tough measures to maintain the sea. Security, it is estimated that this South African waters can become a paradise for pirates.

If he was robbed as soon as he left the port, that merchant would dare to trade here in the future!

As for leaving the waters of South Africa and going deep into the waters of the western African coastline and encountering pirates or something, Datang can't control it even if he wants to. That sea area is still Portuguese territory. According to the armistice signed by Datang and the Portuguese In the agreement, although Datang did not say that it officially recognized the special interests of the Portuguese on the west coast of Africa, it was considered a tacit agreement.

The Portuguese turf has been robbed, and you have to go to the Portuguese!

As for the Portuguese regardless, or simply grabbing it by themselves, the Tang Navy can only say:

Trade is risky, please be cautious when going to sea!

The Atlantic Ocean is so big that after leaving the South African waters, you can enter the vast Atlantic Ocean. It is not good for you to go there.

How smart are the Spaniards, most of the ships go directly into the Atlantic Ocean, preferring to go to South America for supplies than to venture to the west coast of Africa.

Although the journey is a bit long and hard, but it is safe!

However, not all businessmen are willing to go deep into the Atlantic Ocean. For some businessmen, the depths of the Atlantic Ocean are more terrifying than pirates, and they would rather face pirates than face storms in the depths of the ocean.

If you meet a pirate, you can still fight, maybe you can fight back and rob the other party.

But if you encounter a storm in the depths of the ocean, it is definitely courting death.

I never heard that Datang people encountered a big storm in the depths of the Indian Ocean before, and directly lost dozens of ships.

If these dozens of ships were all merchant ships full of goods and goods, if they were lost like this, it would directly bankrupt the royal families of most countries in Europe.

For the European and North African merchants who came to South Africa, this voyage was still relatively dangerous, but for the imperial merchant ships that came to South Africa from the country, it was not so dangerous.

Although there are pirates everywhere, including the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea, the overall risk is still controllable. In addition, it is now popular to go out to sea in groups, and ordinary pirates simply can’t bite.

The famous Fourth Fleet used to be rampant in the South and Indian Oceans. The Imperial Navy and the Portuguese, faced with this group of pirates, were unprecedented in their joint efforts to eradicate them.

But now, these pirate gangs from the Fourth Fleet have a very difficult life.

Several pirate ships encountered a dozen or more armed merchant ships, but they couldn't beat them.

Assembled a few more pirate ships, and the target was huge, and the main fleet of the Datang Navy was brought in to carry out clearing and suppression in minutes.

Therefore, many pirates are now shifting positions or simply changing careers.

Changing careers means not being a pirate, being a maritime businessman, anyway, you have a ship in your hand, you don’t have to robbery to live, you can also make money doing business, but it’s not exciting enough, and life is a little dull.

As for the transfer of positions, they naturally went to other sea areas, such as the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf and other sea areas. These places are not usually visited by the Tang Empire navy. They are all the spheres of influence of indigenous kingdoms such as the Ottoman Empire and the Safi Dynasty. Pirates are in There are basically no rivals there.

Of course, pirates with vision and ambition all went directly to the coast of West Africa.

South Africa City has now become a meeting point between east and west, and its status is very similar to that of Malacca in the past. The South African waters and the east of South Africa are the territory of the Datang Navy, and these pirates dare not go.

But in the waters west of South Africa, the sky is high enough for birds to fly!

Even if the Portuguese were slaughtered, they could survive.

It is rumored that the pirate gang of the Fourth Fleet, which moved from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean this year, has already had three large-scale battles with the pirates who were originally entrenched on the coastline of West Africa, especially in the waters of Northwest Africa.

The pirates of the Fourth Fleet from the Atlantic, flying the flag of the Fourth Fleet, chanted the **** of killing the local pirate gang for freedom.

Just like the rapid rise of the Tang Empire in the past two decades, the pirate gang of the Fourth Fleet has also rapidly become an important pirate force on a global scale in the past twenty years.

However, the current Fourth Fleet is different from the Fourth Fleet in the early years. The Fourth Fleet in the early years was a complete pirate organization with a unified command. It also has multiple nest bases in Myanmar and India and other places, and its strength is quite powerful. At that time, the targets of robbery were all the armed merchant ships of the Datang Western Trading Company and the Portuguese East India Company, and sometimes they even dared to rob warships!

Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty and the Portuguese would not be allowed to join hands to suppress bandits in this regard.

Finally, under the joint siege of the navies of the two countries, the Fourth Fleet was destroyed, and the remnants split into multiple pirate forces, and then they annexed, split, and transferred each other, and then their footprints began to spread all over the world.

In the Caribbean Sea, in the Atlantic Ocean, in the Indian Ocean, even in the Nanyang Sea, the back garden of the Datang Empire, and even in the Fusang Sea, pirate ships with the flag of the Fourth Fleet can be seen.

However, the current Fourth Fleet is no longer a complete organization, and even many messy pirates are hanging the flag of the Fourth Fleet.

Today's Fourth Fleet has become synonymous with pirates to some extent.

There are tens of thousands of pirates with the Fourth Fleet's sign, spread all over the world, with members from all over the world, and even when many merchant ships are temporarily robbed, they will temporarily hang a Fourth Fleet's flag...

Therefore, the Fourth Fleet can no longer be regarded as a complete pirate organization, and should be regarded as a synonym for a pirate.

But what's interesting is that although there are many pirates with the Fourth Fleet's signboard these days, they come from all over the world, but several famous pirate leaders are all from the Tang Dynasty!

Most of them are former Ming generals who followed He Ding from China to Burma. These generals from the traditional Chinese army, their behavior is naturally different from ordinary pirates. Even if they are pirates, they pay attention to various strategies. All kinds of strategies, and most importantly, these people are still the traditional Chinese thinking.

And what is the thinking of traditional Chinese people? Cut the weeds!

The two sides compete for hegemony. The winning side will often kill the losing side. Every dynasty is destroyed or the fallen royal family will basically be wiped out. The most recent example is the former Ming Zhu royal family. Basically, there are no direct descendants of the royal family left. , At that time, Li Xuan didn't have time to say anything. The generals under his command all consciously began to cut the grass.

The pirate chiefs of the Fourth Fleet who were former Ming generals, even if they became pirates, were still following the same old routine. Or they were captured and brought to their old lair as coolies, but they never let them go.

Such pirates are naturally a special group of ruthless people in the eyes of the outside world. Not only the businessmen are extremely afraid of them, but even the pirates of other countries are also very afraid of them.

And these pirates of the Tang Dynasty are not the pride of the empire. On the contrary, the navy and merchant ships of the empire can't wait to kill them all directly, because these pirates of the Tang Dynasty **** them up, but no matter what country's merchant ship you are, even if it is an empire They also robbed the merchant ships.

Over the years, there have been many imperial merchant ships robbed by these Fourth Fleet Datang pirates.

Nowadays, these Datang pirates can no longer survive in the South China Sea and the Bay of Bengal. Many of them have gone to the Atlantic Ocean, especially the west coast of Africa, and some have even gone to the Caribbean Sea.

In this era, pirates are a group that cannot be ignored, and it is even difficult to completely eliminate them.

But in the South African waters, no pirates dare to mess around.

It's not that there are no pirates. In fact, there are still many pirate ships that have changed their faces. They have gone to the South African port to conduct trade, inquire about news, and find fat sheep. There are also many pirates passing by in this sea area.

But none of the pirates dared to mess around here.

The Datang Navy's strong control of this sea area also ensured the prosperity of South African city's trade.

This kind of prosperity could already be felt before Lu Zhenjiang entered the South African port with the fleet, but when he arrived at the port, all he saw were ships.

From all over the world, all kinds of ships, and even among them he also found several ships with obvious pirate ship characteristics~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The ships used by pirates pursue mobility, so generally the hull is relatively slender and the tonnage It will not be too big. The sails are mainly longitudinal sails, and the caliber of the artillery it carries will not be too large. However, there are often many crew members. When robbing, they can catch up with the merchant ships with excellent maneuverability, and then launch a jump gang operation. , and then control the merchant ships.

It is very different from the warships that deploy a large number of heavy artillery in the new era and use sinking enemy ships as the main means.

These few ships, which at first glance know that they are pirates, are parked in the port so grandly. It is estimated that this kind of thing can only occur in the port of South Africa, if it is in the coastal port of the empire or the port of the South China Sea. , when such a pirate ship appeared, it was immediately targeted by the navy.

But in South Africa City, all this unreasonable is normal.

Datang treats pirates and businessmen from all over the world equally. As long as you are honest and obedient, pay relevant fees and taxes, no matter what the real purpose of your visit to South Africa is, you are all welcome!
