Watching the Dawn

The current Caribbean Sea is like a gunpowder barrel that has been ignited. The two alliances have been reached. The fleets of various countries are ready to go. The big forces are standing in secret, but they have the outsider like Daming Nanyang Mariner, which is firmly locked like a cover. Above, let this gunpowder barrel not be able to explode!

"I heard what you said, and Admiral Lin Nanxuan should be a man of great ingenuity and ambition. Such a situation would be impossible for him to see clearly. What ’s more, if countries fought a tragic war, it would only be more beneficial to his foothold. For this reason, even if you temporarily withdraw from the Caribbean Sea. But European countries will not think of this ... "

After listening to Li Huamei's trapped incidents, Lu Yuan couldn't help feeling a bit after describing them one by one. Li Huamei did not care much about the situation in the Caribbean Sea except the Daming Fleet. It's just that she is extremely clever, and she just listened to it casually during the meal and remembered it in her heart. The movement of the three teams may be due to Lu Yuan's departure, and the interaction between them suddenly increased, so the information was also very transparent. The two people just said a short answer, and they knew almost the same.

Instead, it is the movements of the navies of various countries that are still maintaining strange silence.

"Lin Nanxuan must have a big plan, it is possible to count all four countries in the Caribbean Sea. By the way, have any major events happened recently in each country?". Lu Yuan asked suddenly. "Perhaps there is a clue."

"Important ... I heard that one of the British East India Company's governors was ... Odd or something was dismissed ..."

"'Shadow Governor' Aldridge ?!" Lu Yuan was taken aback, this is a super tough guy. But Lu Yuan didn't expect that he hadn't hit the door yet. He was actually killed by his own people first.

"It may be the name. Ah, yes! You must be interested in this. The Spanish treasure fleet has arrived in the Caribbean!" Li Huamei remembered the news I heard on the Dutch merchant ship the other day! The Spanish royal family was finally fed up with the delay of Governor LeBron and directly dispatched the Treasure Fleet. This time the treasure fleet is divided into two ways. Starting from the north coast of South America, visit all ports in the Caribbean clockwise; go all the way around the ports along the Gulf of Mexico. They all took the warrant of the king of Spain, bypassed the colonial governor Lebron, and directly searched the various ports of Spain. These ships will finally gather in Havana and then ship back to Europe together.

But by that time, LeBron should have been powerless. Except for taking over this mess full of holes, he is afraid he can do nothing.

"That's it!" Lu Yuan clapped his hands, "Lin Nanxuan and so on, this is it!"

Li Huamei just smiled softly. Did not speak. She walked over to the boat and looked at the strange and familiar port in front, Port-au-Prince.

...

Port-au-Prince is already the last stop of Lu Yuan's trip.

He first arrived in the Grand Bahama Port of the Dutch colony, put down the Dutch on the Shipwreck Island and the Hanseatic League, and established the first loan shark shop in Grand Bahama Port. The second is the port of Havana in the Spanish colony. Where did the Spanish and Portuguese lay down, and by the way about the news about Misha, they still found nothing.

The third stop was the port of Trinidad occupied by pirates, and Lu Yuan concealed his identity. Entered the port smoothly. In Trinidad, he found the retired Spanish shipbuilding master Oren, not only invited him to visit the "Elona", but also left the "Blue Bird" to him.

Lu Yuan expects that he can maintain the existing style. Transforming the "Blue Bird" into an extremely luxurious and comfortable sail boat. To this end, all but a few decorative small-caliber artillery pieces were left on the deck. The entire ship highlights comfort and ease of operation. The entire middle deck will be transformed into a room for rest and entertainment, and a superstructure will be built on the deck ... in short. This boat was used by Lu Yuan to take Elona, ​​Ke Xue and Du Xing to go out to sea.

Leaving the "Blue Bird" and one million pesos of loan sharks to draw notes, Lu Yuan ran to the last goal. Port-au-Prince.

Less than a quarter of the remaining residents on the ship are all British and French who are still willing to return to the homeland. They will disembark together in Port-au-Prince. Lu Yuan also plans to find Auguste in Port-au-Prince, and then recruit a group of suitable sailors to form a new "opera".

British colony in the Caribbean Sea, Port of San Juan, House of Governors.

"Shadow Governor" Aldridge was still sitting behind his large table, and Kenny stood behind him, verbally retelling the news in his hand that Aldrich needed to understand.

"Oh, he's back?" Aldridge heard the encounter between the two French ships and took it with interest to read it. "The new battleship was actually made by the British ... interesting. Did he go to the British mainland during this time ..."

"Who went to the British mainland? Why didn't I meet?" A voice came from outside the door.

"Shadow Governor" Aldridge immediately dropped his face! While he was working, did anyone dare to eavesdrop outside? ! How dare you interrupt him? ! Who is so brave!

The outsiders didn't let him wait long, so they pushed the door straight in and walked in.

Straight figure, handsome face with short bright blond hair, this is a young man like a sun god. He wore some alternative aristocratic clothing, cut and decorated for simplicity, and was close to the navy in style. As he took off his gloves and walked in, Aldridge's pupils shrank. "James ... why are you here? Your little fleet, don't need breastfeeding?"

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Aldridge, always eating milk and never growing up. I took them to the Caribbean to see the blood." The young man said politely, but the content of the words was completely tit-for-tat.

"Who made you come? Why didn't I see the order?" Aldridge frowned.

"Because the order is here ..." The man named James took out a gold gilt, "His Majesty appointed me to investigate ... Some nobles sacrifice our heroic naval soldiers to the evil gods."

"How do you ..." Aldridge stood up fiercely. Only two people knew this, and one of them died in a riot in Port-au-Prince. He turned back suddenly, staring at Kenny. "It's you?!"

The eldest son of his loyal subordinates, leaning on the clerk Kenny, slowly stood up. "it's me!"

"why?"

"Because I will abolish slavery!" James said directly. "As you know, I have always opposed slavery, the most brutal and inhumane system! So the first thing I took office was to start to reduce the slave trade and use heavy taxes on slaves until this system Abolished completely. "

Aldridge looked at James, then at Kenny, and suddenly burst out laughing, shaking with a smile. He threw away the things on the table, picked up his hat, and walked out. It was just before going out that he suddenly turned his head to his former clerk Kenny and said, "I hope you will not regret it in the future!"

How can he not be angry! As he said before, his and Kenny's positions are not much different! Aldrich supported slave trafficking because he wanted to transfer the exploitation of civilians to the exploitation of slaves in order to ease social conflicts. Although the abolition of Kenny was based on morality, it ultimately eased the sharp contradictions at the bottom of the whole society. The two should not conflict in nature and can seek an appropriate solution.

But James is completely different ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ He is a representative of the emerging bourgeoisie, so he does not care about anything like slavery! There is only one purpose for James-to turn all people into workers who work their lives in factories, and to turn all land into raw material production and sales markets!

Can Kenny understand this?

Seeing Aldridge leave, Kenny's face flashed deep guilt. But then he gritted his teeth and took out a copy of the order that had been transcribed. The above were various restrictions and taxes on the slave trade, which he had previously passed through with James.

"Your promise ..." He handed it over, reminding him a little nervously.

"Ha! Kenny, we are like-minded comrades, I can't deceive you!" The young man sat happily in Aldridge's chair, took out the quill, and quickly signed his name behind the order .

James Clifford!
