Chapter 901： American departure

After Christmas, Columbus returned to work. In fact, Columbus's report is not very important. Because, Marin will not often use this route in the future.

However, this route is still needed. Mainly, Marin hopes to use this route as a cover to cover the Pacific route.

Therefore, Marin will still send one or two ships to take this old-fashioned route every year. But the main force is actually taking the Pacific route.

Why cover the Pacific route? The reason is simple-if Marin's fleet only takes the Pacific route, then European navigators and adventurers will be curious about this route.

Once they are curious, they will secretly search for the Pacific route. Then, it will inevitably sail along South America. If they were found to be rich in South America, the current control capabilities of Marin would not be able to protect South America. After all, South America is too far away, and Marin ’s fleet has not yet exploded.

Therefore, Marin needs an Eastern route to cover the Pacific route. The opening of the Eastern route will inevitably attract the attention of all Europe. By that time, those bold navigators and adventurers will focus on the routes along the African coast, and have no time to look around. Of course, these secrets cannot be kept forever. When the Eastern route is overrun, there will always be navigators turning their attention to the Western Hemisphere. However, by the time they noticed a problem in the Western Hemisphere, Marin was almost able to explode the super fleet. At that time, anyone who disobeys will fight. It's just that this process takes less than a few decades. Therefore, Marin must keep a low profile during this time. To be in the limelight, let Portugal go out ...

Moreover, Marin saw more conspiracies and tricks, and also pointed out a gangster for the Portuguese-occupying Malacca, and Daming torn his face ...

As such, Portugal must not develop normal trade with Daming. However, the Portuguese are not stupid. When they encounter problems, they will find a solution. Therefore, Marin even thought of the solution for them-robbing other tributary ships of the Ming Dynasty ...

In this way, Portugal will surely be able to obtain valuable goods such as porcelain and silk. However, the relationship with the Ming Dynasty will be more rigid-if one of the younger brothers is wiped out, they will **** the goods of other younger brothers. With the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty ’s death, he will certainly not forgive Portugal ...

When the time comes, Portugal wants to obtain the goods of the Ming Dynasty, only one way to smuggle. But this road is very difficult, because it is smuggling, the scale must be big. Moreover, the bid will certainly not be low. Otherwise, the smuggling merchants of Daming would not take great risks to trade with the Portuguese.

And Marin will obtain the right to enter Daming legally through the way of advocating to Daming on Taiwan Island and offering sweet potato exchange.

At that time, Europe will have two sources of Daming goods-the products obtained by the Portuguese smuggling channels, and the products legally purchased by Marin ...

Both products are similar, but the cost is very different. Marin remembered that in the late Ming Dynasty, the Spaniards purchased silk from smugglers in Manila at a price of 240 yuan per share of raw silk. But in Daming, the price of raw silk is only a few dozen. Even if the Dutch occupy the island of Taiwan and are so close to the mainland, the purchase price is as high as 140 yuan per share, which is more than twice the normal price of Daming locals.

Therefore, at the time, although the same Ming dynasty goods, the purchasing cost of Marin is less than half of the Portuguese, and the profit obtained is much higher than that of the Portuguese.

As for the Portuguese? Marin has long passed the agreement signed in the Holy See to attribute the colonial power of the Japanese archipelago, the Ryukyu Islands and the Taiwan island to himself.

At that time, Marin traded with the Daming Empire in the name of a colony. What can the Portuguese say? Marin does have the colonial power of these islands, and Portugal has recognized it. Can you still stop the commercial trade between the colony of Marin and the Daming Empire?

As for the Portuguese who are not fighting for their own rights, and have no access to the trading rights of the Daming Empire, what is the relationship with Marin?

...

After all, the Portuguese are not familiar with China's national conditions. In the beginning, they treated the Daming Empire in the same way as ordinary small indigenous countries. After being hurt by the Ming Dynasty, the strength of the Ming Dynasty was faced squarely. Then, I thought about obtaining trade permits through bribery.

But compared with Marin, the gap came immediately-Marin was a Chinese in his previous life, and it was not clear about the Ming Dynasty?

Therefore, Marin is destined to take the lead. Moreover, it is possible to covertly portray important people by bribing important figures. By that time, even if the Portuguese realized the way of bribery, the important people had already been managed by Marin. They have to have a door if they want to bribe ...

...

Columbus's job description process is very simple, he mainly talked about some of the experience in the nautical process. But will Marin know less than him? Marin, whose history and geography are both unique, is very familiar with world geography. Do n’t be too proficient in the Southeast Asian climate and local folk customs. However, out of respect for Columbus, Marin still pretended to be very interested and listened to Columbus's report.

Then ~ www.novelhall.com ~ is the most important thing-Columbus delivered the logbook ...

This is the most important because it is an important reference for future navigation. Especially the coordinates in it are the most important reference for the captains to sail.

In addition, there are some special climates that need attention, and the distribution points of the reefs are also very important.

Before the sonar to explore the reef underwater, the nautical is best to follow the existing routes explored by predecessors. As long as the coordinates are compared and the graphs are searched, there will be no major problems.

In fact, Marin also made a great contribution to this voyage. His greatest contribution is to issue a warning-during the high typhoon season in summer and autumn, it is best not to take the South China Sea route easily. If there is a typhoon, God can't keep you ...

Therefore, Marin requested-to take the South China Sea route, preferably in the first half. Because most typhoons occurred in the second half of the year. As long as the typhoon is not encountered, the sail will be lowered in the event of strong winds, and there will be basically no major problems. As for the problem of sinking on the rocks, there are also solutions-that is, multiple ships acting together. If one ship hits the reef, the other ship will rescue it. The real danger is that a single ship goes to sea. No matter what danger is encountered, it is dead. Because no one saves them ...

...

After sending off Columbus, Marin immediately ordered someone to find another American sailor, Amerigo.

Amerigo came to Marin's office, and before he was seated, Marin said:

"America, are you ready to take another route to the Eastern Empire?"

Americano had not yet sat down, but immediately stood up like a rebound. Then Amerigo answered with a serious face:

"Yes, Grand Duke, I am ready! I have been waiting for this day for a long time and can start at any time!"
