This time, the fleet was re-installed and made the most preparations for the next long voyage.

Not only did they provide maximum supplies, but all six ships, including the captured Spanish sailboat, were completely renewed.

In addition to the ship's bottom hull being replaced with non-perishable teak, all the decks, boards and box buckets that are easy to replace are also replaced with Brazilian mahogany.

This extravagant act shocked the Portuguese's chin. Because Brazilian mahogany is of great value, the red dye extracted is ten times more expensive than gold. The Ming Dynasty used it as ship materials, which is simply a wall made with gold bricks!

Adding more than 13 million taels of silver. This is not a ship, it is simply a treasure house of six moving ones!

If they hadn't had the strong ships and the sharp guns and were very alert, these pirate-born Portuguese merchants would have long been unable to help but betray...

But the black and thick cannon pointed at the Governor's Office and the Council Building in Japan. The Portuguese could only send off the Oriental distinguished guests and welcome the old man to come and take care of the business.

Liu Daxia, who finally restored his normal function, slowly drove out of Rio Bay.

Lin Feng stood on the deck, stretched his hands flat, looking down at the gradually fading Harbor City with a solemn expression, and asked Zhang Xiaojing beside him and said, "Xiaojing, how do you look at this posture?"

"Not really, what are you going to do?" Zhang Xiaojing held a little capybara she rescued from Lin Feng and looked at her strangely.

"In a few years, I want to build a statue for my master in Rio. It is not the copper type of Fatty Tang in Newport, but it is more than ten feet tall!" Lin Feng pointed to the abrupt hill behind Rio City and said, "I have chosen all the places, that mountain is the most suitable!"

Looking at the hill that is seven or eight hundred meters high, I imagine how solemn and majestic it would be to erect a statue of Zhao Hao thirty or forty meters high, facing the bay dotted by mountains, and embracing the city under my feet with open arms.

"That's so handsome..." Xiao Zhuzi couldn't help but fascinated.

"Tsk..." Lin Feng rolled his eyes and bounced the big parrot on his shoulder and said, "In the same posture, your husband is so handsome, and I am not very good."

"Everyone's suitable posture is different." Zhang Xiaojing covered her mouth and smiled: "For example, you are suitable for carrying a whip, a parrot, and stepping on a box full of gold coins under your feet."

"Hahaha, that's right." Lin Fengshen nodded with approval and said, "That's it. When you go back, you can help me draw the drawings first to see the effect. It's better to make a budget or something to see if I have enough money."

"You have to ask the Portuguese whether they agree or not." Zhang Xiaojing said with a wry smile.

"At that time, they will not be the one here." Lin Feng licked his lips and said disdainfully:

"Just like their little ones, they dare to occupy such a large territory. Isn't this child living through the downtown area with gold? If we don't rob it, we will let others take it away!"

"That's right." Zhang Xiaojing was not a good person, and she actually agreed with her: "The biggest feeling of coming to America this time is that the Spanish and Portuguese are so lucky. They can occupy such a fertile and vast land."

As she said that, she sighed softly, "It's a pity that it's too far."

"I'm far from afraid. Even the Spanish can go to Luzon to colonize. Why can't we fight back to America?" Lin Feng said without caring.

"That's right, if you can come, I can go. It's impolite to come but not come." Zhang Xiaojing nodded with a smile and said, "This trip to America is really full of goods."

"Unfortunately, only half of the ballast stone was replaced with silver." Lin Feng sighed.

"Just be content. The ballast stones of the six boats weigh nearly 1,000 tons in total." Zhang Xiaojing said with a glance: "If it is all changed to silver, it will cost nearly 30 million taels!"

"Then we have to keep working hard." Lin Feng said vigorously: "When we reach the West Coast, we have to do a few more votes!"

"Ah, come again?" Zhang Xiaojing held her forehead helplessly. She thought she could go home for the New Year at the end of last year, but she didn't expect that it was the New Year and was still in Brazil.

She was already home.

But there is no way, who made them offend the powerful Spaniards? They had to waste a lot of time avoiding the pursuit of General Leon.

According to the information obtained in Rio, the Admiral Leon led his fleet, still guarding the Strait of Magellan, waiting for their arrival.

Moreover, this voyage on the east coast of South America is really bad, and it is simply a destruction to the crew.

So when in Rio, the crew members said in unison that they would follow the west wind to the east, and bypass the Cape of Good Hope and return to Asia through Africa.

Lin Feng did announce this, and all the crew members believed it, let alone the Spanish spy in Rio.

After seeing the Ming fleet leaving Rio, the spies sailed straight eastward and disappeared on the sea level. They became more convinced and quickly rode on the alpaca and went to Argentina to report the news.

But what the Spanish spies didn't know was that after sailing east for half a day, Lin Feng suddenly ordered to turn the rudder and go south!

The ship was immediately in an uproar, and the crew members, who were all homeless, looked at their captain in confusion, wondering why she changed her course?

"What are you doing? You can just look like the wind on the road?" Lin Feng curled his lips and teased without hesitation: "I forgot what I did when I came out? I wanted to go home after I robbed it. How can I explain to my master when I go back?"

"I'm sorry, young master, we took the opportunity to fight a disaster. After all, we just want to come back and become a rich man. Who cares about sailing around the world?" Lin Feng looked at everyone with a smile. "Anyway, I have no shame to say such words, and I don't want people to make fun of them for half a lifetime."

"Commander, why didn't you say it earlier?" The crew members said depressedly: "It's you going east, it's you going west, it's you going west, what's going to play with us?"

"Bah, you guys think about it!" Lin Feng spat: "I was the smoke bomb that made the Spaniards think that we were heading east, so they would withdraw from the Strait of Magellan and give us the way home!"

"Oh, so, the commander is wise!" Everyone said in a flash: "We all listen to the commander!"

"That's just like that." Lin Feng's expression cleared a little, and tempted them again: "And I've found out clearly that Spain's colonies on the west coast of America are peaceful and have loose military equipment and are basically unprepared. You don't want to grab a few more hands and exchange all the ballast stones for silver?"

"Think!" The crew members were so energetic that they started to scream.

If you don’t think there is too much money, you will definitely get addicted to robbery!

"Then get out of here and do what you should do!" Lin Feng snorted coldly, "I think you have to deal with it very much recently, and you dare to question my words!"

"I dare not, I dare not, I dare not to be beaten to death!" Everyone hurriedly said, "Commander, we were so confused just now, why don't you beat us hard?"

"I think beautifully! As far as I can get away!" Lin Feng laughed and said, pretending to fight.

After the people, birds and beasts scattered below, she turned around and entered the cabin, sat on the chair, and sighed softly.

"What? I can't suppress the situation anymore?" Zhang Xiaojing poured her a glass of cognac wine.

"It's indeed a bit. But this is normal. As the time to go to sea increases, the crew will become less and less patient. We have been going to sea for two years, right?" Lin Feng took a sip of wine.

"It's been two years and one season." Zhang Xiaojing said with a wry smile.

"It's been so long? It's a long time since the discipline should be counted, and the crew members have become animals that act on instinct." Lin Feng whistled: "It's a miracle that they can just show a little impatient now."

"But we need to sail for another half a year, right? We should pay more attention to their mentality." Zhang Xiaojing frowned slightly. She was ashamed of saying that this should be the job of a police commissioner, but she was obviously incompetent in this regard.

"It's okay, it's actually mainly because of being chased by the Spanish for half a year. Although they never met, their mentality has changed." Lin Feng drank the glass of strong wine and wiped his mouth with his back hand and said, "What we need now is victory. If we win a few battles, we will lose all our problems!"

After the fleet left Rio, it headed south in the depths of the ocean to avoid ships sailing near the coast to prevent whereabouts.

A month later, the fleet landed on an archipelago 600 kilometers away from the mainland and rested and replenished freshwater.

The shape of this archipelago is very interesting, like a complete island, split in half by an axe, with a straight and wide waterway in the middle, just enough to stop the fleet from ships to shelter the wind.

After Lin Feng took the air to look down, he immediately named it Butt Island.

Ma Yishan thought it was too unpleasant and asked her to change it. Lin Feng bluntly changed it to "Ma Yishan's Buttock Island", abbreviated as Ma Yishan's Island.

"Commander, don't be so polite. I'm very content if I have a Ma Yishanwan." Lao Ma said with a bitter face.

"Nothing is there? The island is an island, and the bay is a bay, it's okay." Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "This is the privilege of the pioneers, it's decided!"

"What? Then we are in Lao Ma's butt trunk!?" The crew members who learned about this burst into laughter. They were checking the reinforcement of sail cables and nailing all portholes to prepare for the next step of crossing the roaring west wind belt.

The westerly wind belt is a low-pressure area surrounding the earth, between 40 and 60 degrees south latitude. Because of the small land, the small friction force, the vast sea surface allows the westerly wind to completely let itself go, and the strong winds rage all year round and huge waves. Strong winds above level 7 can reach more than 7-10 days in each month throughout the year, so it is called the "roaring westerly wind belt".

Whether you want to bypass America or Africa, you have to pass through this westerly wind belt, which is why the Cape of Good Hope is called the Cape of Storm.

It is precisely because of experiencing its power in the Cape of Good Hope that Lin Feng carefully chose the time to sail into the westerly wind belt. It is now midsummer in the southern hemisphere, which theoretically is the time when the wind is the least in the year.

It's not okay to be careful. This time there is no shelter like Cape Town. Only angry Spaniards are waiting on the Strait of Magellan, vowing to bury them in the roaring west wind.

After ten days of rest on Horse Island, the fleet set sail at the roaring west wind and headed towards the Strait of Magellan!
