Guantanamo, a famous holy place for love in the later generations, is located on the Cuba side of the Fengfeng Strait, and is a gourd-shaped excellent harbor.

In 1494 AD, Columbus was on his second trip to the Americas and was resting at Guantanamo Bay. It was named "Daliang Harbor" because of its superior harbor conditions.

Guantanamo is not only an excellent safe haven, but also has an excellent barrier function. The bay estuary is a winding and narrow waterway, blocked by mountains, and the location is very hidden.

That night, after sending a ship for help, the experienced Lieutenant Colonel Aguero personally served as a pilot and led the fleet into Guantanamo Bay through the moonlight. This was equivalent to entering a safe house. Everyone's heart was put back in their stomachs.

In addition to the fact that the harbor itself is very hidden, the sailboat can only buy one-way tickets in the Wind Strait. If you miss the entrance to the Harbor and want to enter, you can only bypass Haiti Island and enter the Wind Strait from the north. At that time, the Atlantic Fleet had already arrived after hearing the news.

So from any perspective, they are already safe, and the colonel can finally relax his tired mind and have a good time to take a drink.

The lieutenant colonel also felt that there was no problem and ordered everyone to get off the boat, set up a slide, and drag the scarred galleys to the beach to repair and repair the leaks.

The four large sailboats were still intact. The captain was worried that the high mast would be exposed, so he deliberately parked in the depths of the bay...

As time went by, the crew members' tense nerves finally relaxed and began to jump into the sea to swim, sit by the boat, fishing, and some people carried muskets to hunt on nearby mountains to improve their bad food. It seemed like they were on vacation.

Colonel Thiago, who had a good sleep and was fully energetic, ordered his adjutant to set up a long table and parasol, prepare sumptuous food, and invite a group of bureaucrats and several sailing captains to have lunch on the fine white beach of Guantanamo.

The Spanish, who were naturally optimistic, quickly got into the state. After drinking a few glasses of wine, they sang songs on the beat, and laughter floated on the beach.

The colonel was not just having fun. He also negotiated with the king's eyes and ears and ears with several treasure captains through the banquet, how to embellish this perfect defeat as the brave Colonel Thiago was not afraid of danger and used his wisdom to save the king's treasure ship.

Of course, this is not free. But as long as you can maintain your reputation and official position, your money will be earned soon.

Colonel Thiago comforted himself and was about to pick up the wine glass to thank the righteous adults.

But I saw the tax officer, inspector and notary sitting on his left, all of whom were stunned and froze there as if they were ghosts.

"What's wrong? It's not that the Eastern pirates are chasing you, right?" Thiago said humorously, and turned his head to look along their gaze.

At the mouth of the bay with white light flashing, a black skeleton pirate flag fluttered in the wind.

The crow's mouth was opened...

The crew also discovered the pirate flag, and the harbor was immediately in chaos.

After yesterday's naval battle, everyone had a deep memory of the skull wearing a straw hat, and immediately recognized that it was the pirates in Ming Dynasty who were chasing him!

"No way?! How is it possible? I don't believe it!" Colonel Thiago rubbed his eyes repeatedly, unable to accept the facts in front of him, and he didn't even notice that the red wine was sprinkled on his fake **.

"Ghost Ship!" The tax officer suddenly screamed: "They are ghost ships!"

"..." Everyone was in a panic and couldn't speak for a while.

They have all heard of this legend that is widely circulated in the Caribbean. It is said that ghost ships and devils can ignore the wind direction and ocean currents and maintain the same speed as they fly.

Encountering the ghost ship seemed to the Voyager as a sign of destruction, because no one who had ever seen it at sea was spared!

Fortunately, they are on land now...

Although I can't figure out why the ghost ship is a sailboat from the East, this is how they can explain why they hide so well and will discover it as soon as possible.

And from the perspective of time, these pirate ships must have come against the current and against the wind, which is completely in line with the legend of the ghost ship!

The colonel and others remembered again that these Eastern pirate ships suddenly appeared from the thick fog yesterday.

In theory, in the vast sea, a heavy fog is enough to make the followers return in vain. This ability to fight out of the fog is no longer owned by humans.

Captain Santa Barbara also stuttered: "That night in Onda Bay, they suddenly appeared beside our ship..."

"That's right, it's it. The ghost ship formed by the Indian resentment..." The inspector's teeth chuckled, and his feet dripped.

Everyone sat there like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, without even the idea of ​​organizing resistance.

Although the crew did not expect that the ghost ship was on the floor, there was nothing to resist. The Calais warships were repaired on the shore.

There are crew members on the Treasure Sailing Ship, but resistance is obviously unwise. In order to avoid losses, Spain has a special regulation that once the captain of the Treasure Ship is judged to have lost his guard, he should surrender gloriously, in order to preserve the Treasure Ship and the cargo on the ship, waiting for the main fleet to come for rescue, or negotiate with the royal family.

The Spanish have enough confidence to let the pirates spit out prey that does not belong to them.

So they surrendered obediently, as if they came to Guantanamo just to be arrested.

This is indeed not a good place...

~~

It is said that Thiago and Aguero's choice last night was also correct.

They did throw away the four Ming Dynasty warships behind their butts.

At dawn, the lookouts of Wenzhou, Taizhou and Quanzhou could not find their prey with telescopes.

However, they still have the Beidou team.

As soon as the hot air balloon was lifted, the map of dozens of miles around was fully opened, and Guantanamo Bay and the masts in the bay were discovered immediately.

Unexpectedly, these red-haired ghosts and ghostly captains immediately ordered to turn around and catch turtles in the jar.

Looking back, it is against the wind and flowing. If it were replaced by Western sailing, it would be no chance. However, Chinese sails can be subjected to wind from all directions, and if they take the zigzag route, they can go up against the wind. It is nothing more than slowness.

When they arrived at the entrance of Guantanamo Bay, the Liu Daxia also arrived with a staggering pace.

Without further ado, the captains led four warships to rush into the bay entrance without delay.

Lin Feng immediately understood what was going on, so he asked someone to row the boat quickly, pull Liu Daxia to turn around, open the giant ship into the bay to block the door in order to prevent prey from escaping.

But after obtaining life guarantee, the Spaniards chose to surrender obediently.

And they lined up neatly on the beach, with the captain handing over the navigation logs, the tax officials handing over the books, and the bagpipe accompaniment, which made it very grand.

Lin Feng was embarrassed to give them food. So he asked someone to take the Spanish on the beach and quickly counted the spoils.

Ma Yishan heard in Havana that there were tax officials on the Spanish treasure ship, who were directly appointed by Madrid's tax authorities and registered the wealth on the ship, whether public or private, or not, to ensure that the king's taxes will not be leaked.

So just check the account book and you should be able to quickly count the gains.

When he excitedly reported his statistical results, Zhang Xiaojing scoffed at it. She told Lin Feng and Lao Ma that there are three things in this world that cannot be believed.

Men’s promises, women’s tears, and official statistics.

Lin Feng knew that in this regard, he could not match Zhang Xiaojing's photos, so he asked Lao Ma, the Fleet Finance Department and the police department to quickly distribute the warehouse!

Seeing that the bay was calm, she quickly asked the repair office and the carpentry department to repair the two broken pieces that Liu Daxia had.

After the inspection, the repair director replied that one of the rudders was fine, so he connected the rudder pole, put a circle of iron saws and asked the cooper to strengthen it with the iron hoop, and it could barely be used. But the other one was directly smashed and it was really impossible to repair.

"Make one first." Lin Feng didn't force him. Although there was a spare rudder on the boat, because the rudder had to be installed from bottom to top, he had to go into the dock to do it.

Fortunately, a rudder can be used, but it is hard to operate. But it doesn’t matter, Commander Lin’s helmsman are all veteran drivers.

The rudder of the treasure ship is 11 meters long, and no matter how fast it is, it will take two days to repair it.

The Lin Feng fleet was stationed in Guantanamo, which had been renamed "Ma Yishan Bay".

Here is 1,600 miles straight from Havana. If the Santo Domingo fleet comes, the voyage is also 2,000 miles. At this moment, neither Havana nor Santo Domingo have received any news, so it should be safe within ten days and half a month.

~~

After two days, Ma Yishan, who was very motivated because he was used to name this place, reported to the two female leaders with a pair of red urethras:

"It really made the lady guess. They concealed 60% of their property! In other words, the king could only receive taxes from less than half of the goods. It was so crazy. The Great West was about to end!"

"He is content. It turns out that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty could not receive a penny." Zhang Xiaojing smiled faintly, her heart full of pride.

It was after her husband was born that the Ming Dynasty finally had tariff income. Although my father always complained that the tax rate was too low, it was estimated that Taicang would fill the hole like a bottomless hole in the past last year and achieve a historic surplus. I guess my father would be so happy that he howled in the middle of the night... Oh no, he whistled.

"What is that?" Lin Feng didn't drive out so much, she just wanted to know what she had gained.

"Commander, please see it yourself." Ma Yishan trembled and handed a general account to Lin Feng.

I saw that it was written on it:

‘6 million silver pesos; 500,000 gold pesos;

One thousand kilograms of diamonds; two thousand kilograms of rubies; three thousand kilograms of emeralds;

50,000 pieces of silk; 100 tons of spices and 300 tons of sugar;

Two hundred tons of tobacco, fifty tons of alpaca velvet, and two hundred thousand pieces of porcelain...

And all kinds of gold products cannot be accurately weighed for the time being, and the rough estimate is about one ton.’

"Fuck, how much is this?!" Lin Feng was dizzy and couldn't help but swear.

"It's worth about 12 million taels of silver." Zhang Xiaojing casually reported a number.

"So awesome?" Lin Feng was so shocked that his chin fell to the ground.
Chapter completed!
