In fact, slave hunting and slave trading did not originate from new industries in the new continent. For hundreds of years, the nomads in the north have continuously harassed and harassed the farming nations to plunder civilians and sell them as slaves. The current emperor of the Tang Empire, His Majesty Di Leina, a concubine of hers, met His Majesty the Emperor only after she was robbed and slaved by the Chidi people in the north and sold to the Eastern Continent. The wave of slave hunting and slave trading in the New Continent has become one of the most lucrative and promising industries in the New Continent, and almost all the colonies on the New Continent Countries have been more or less involved in this industry, and even officials in some countries openly defended and rectified this activity, under the guise of saving the barbaric indigenous peoples from ignorance and darkness.
There are two ways to hunt slaves. One is to recruit mercenaries to form a slave hunting team, hire local aboriginal guides, attack weaker aboriginal tribes, and capture all the young and middle-aged men, old and weak women and children of the entire tribe as slaves. This method requires a certain force and has certain risks, so it gradually tends to be large-scale. Some mercenaries gradually began to grow on the new continent. They updated their equipment and recruited personnel to expand their strength, and established colonies in various colonies in the new continent. Their own liaison organization has become a professional slave hunting team, and there are regular slave traders to buy their prey, which is quite profitable.
The other method obviously involved the shadows of the official forces of the Raya continent. They provoked wars between various races and tribes on the new continent, and often presented some fancy things to the tribal territories and nobles. And worthless stuff. Items such as glass balls, metal knives, and utensils, won the favor and "friendship" of tribal leaders before making demands to buy slaves, and then providing weapons and equipment of new types of cash to the clans they supported, which were paid for Prisoners of war and civilians captured in the war are offset.
This method is often more concealed and effective. The tribes under attack often seek outside help out of revenge, which in turn provides opportunities for those secretly manipulated forces. They can play both sides, suddenly supporting one side and attacking the other. Suddenly supporting the other side to attack this side, the scale of the war became bigger and bigger, and it became more and more cruel. A large number of indigenous people were taken into slavery, which also provided these organizations and forces with sufficient sources of slaves, and these countries and forces also relied on This opportunity can step by step extend the power to the interior of the New Continent.
The bright Jinpeng flag is fluttering on the pier of Sabana Port. The whole port may be barely worth seeing except for the buildings surrounding the port. Most of the rest of the buildings are low-end houses that are not popular in the interior of the empire, and they are scattered around. The black people also account for a considerable proportion of pedestrians. The Port of Sabana is a port in name, but in fact it is more appropriate to describe it as a large fishing village or a small market town. However, the town of 5,000 people has only three streets, which are distributed in a Y-shaped protruding headland along the coast of the Southern Latin Ocean. In fact, this is one of the three major colonial strongholds of the Tang Empire on the New Continent, and it is also the bridgehead for the empire to explore south along the coastline of the New Continent.
Galyub, Mangadisha and Sabana constitute the Golden Triangle of the Tang Empire colonizing the new continent. Galeyub is located in the northeast corner of the new continent, only 220 kilometers away from Xishakula, the largest colonial stronghold of the Kingdom of Sioran, and Mangadisha was originally an island formed by volcanic eruptions. Gaalyub is about 350 nautical miles away, and 370 nautical miles south of Sabana, although the area is only more than 300 square kilometers. But the location is wonderful. Since the surrounding area is surrounded by a series of coral reefs, some explorers and colonists in the Western Continent were confused by the dense coral reefs after they arrived in this area, thinking that this area is all coral reefs of little value. So I sailed back north. Later, the private explorers of the Empire’s South Seas discovered the island from a large group of coral reefs, and drew a detailed sea map, and this became the first step for the empire to go to the new continent. The local dialect of Nanyang means "Pearl of Hope", and the empire also adopted the transliteration name, and simply named the first colonial stronghold of the empire Mangadisha.
Galyub is the empire's first colonial stronghold on the Western Continent. Mangadishu though was the first stop on the imperial colonial road. But after all, it is still hundreds of nautical miles away from the new continent, and 160 nautical miles away from the nearest land. And Gaalyub became the first colonial stronghold established by the empire on the new continent. Galyub was the first colony on the New World land when an expedition team formed by Western Xinjiang officials and private merchants at that time arrived. The coastline slowly went north, and when they arrived at Sishakula, the colonial stronghold of the Kingdom of West Oran, a week later, they realized that this area had been listed as their sphere of influence by the Kingdom of West Oran. Established a real campsite and returned news to the native land. When the native land received the news, it was the time when the empire was about to be established. Many things were delayed, and the expedition activities came to a standstill. The expedition team could only stay Less than 30 people stayed behind in Galeyub, and the rest returned to Eastern Samoa by boat to wait for the confirmation of the empire.
After the establishment of the empire, this news quickly attracted the attention of the empire's officials. Since all the countries in the western continent began to infiltrate the new continent, and Tang could not fall behind, the empire quickly instructed Nanhai County to send follow-up troops as soon as possible. However, the second expedition team formed by Nanhai County was wiped out by a storm during the expedition. It was not until three months later that the third expedition team successfully completed the expedition and the more than 30 people left behind. The explorers reunited. At this time, six of these expedition members died due to acclimatization and disease, and the rest were already in dire straits.
Fortunately, the scale of the expedition sent by the empire was much larger. Seven ships brought more than 200 people and a considerable amount of weapons and medicines. The Xioran expedition team that penetrated in the direction expressed their attitude that this area is already under the control of the Datang Empire and belongs to the protection area of the Datang Empire. Gaalyub got its name from the local indigenous name "Moon's Horn", which means that the moon rises here. from where.
At this time, the empire has learned that in addition to West Orland and Jutland on the mainland, the major powers in the western continent and some cities and urban republics in the south that are close to the water have begun to establish their own in the new continent. Carry out comprehensive exploration and surveying in the northern and western regions, and start planning to form a joint expedition team to explore the new continent and beyond, which has aroused the great attention of the empire. The intention of exclusion is self-evident. If they fail to gain a firm foothold on the New Continent in time, the empire, which is inherently geographically deficient, may be even more disadvantaged in the future carve-up of the New Continent. Therefore, the Surveying and Mapping Bureau of the Imperial Economic Development Department, the Imperial Commerce Department, the Imperial Naval Surveying and Mapping Bureau, and the predecessor of the Naval Intelligence Bureau all began to form their own expeditionary forces and began to explore and colonize.
The Bureau of Surveying and Mapping of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Empire and the Ministry of Commerce of the Empire mainly cooperate with private maritime exploration societies to provide personnel and financial support and encourage them to actively explore the eastern coastal areas of the new continent, while the Bureau of Naval Surveying and Mapping and the Bureau of Naval Intelligence are based on From a military point of view, with the participation of the Navy's 6th team, it was divided into multiple expeditionary forces to conduct surveillance along the New Continent in all directions, and even disguised as private businessmen to bypass the colonial points of the Western Continent countries on the northern coast of the New Continent to the New Continent. The west coast of the continent is advancing, intending to complete the all-round surveying and exploration of the new continent before the countries of the western continent.
More than a year ago~IndoMTL.com~The Bureau of Surveying and Mapping of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Empire and the Ministry of Commerce were sponsoring an expedition team from the Nautical Association of Nanhai County to advance southwest along Golden Crown Island, and had to suspend the expedition because of a hurricane. Entering a bay, the crew who boarded the land to check the terrain happened to meet the expedition team members who went south from the Qalyub base. In addition to being excited, this bay was celebrated as the queen of the empire by the expedition team members. The name is Angel Bay, but Sabana is named after the transliteration of the local aborigines. The original meaning is "pearl gathering place".
After a year of construction and development, Sabana has become the base of Datang Empire's southward expansion on the New Continent. Adventurers and expeditions flock to this place as their base, either to explore inward 6, Or take a boat and sail south along the coast in the hope of discovering more. Merchants with a keen sense of smell also set up shops and warehouses here one after another, buying local specialties such as rhino horn, ivory, pearls, agate, amber, emerald, gold sand, etc., and dumping cotton, glass, and ceramics to the local indigenous people. , Silk, ironware, metal ornaments, weapons and other daily necessities for daily life, reaping sky-high profits. But when making huge profits, merchants also have to take considerable risks. The long sea journey makes the voyage full of uncertainty, and there is no reliable and authoritative nautical chart. It still needs some luck, and the unpredictable climate in the Latin Ocean is also one of the main reasons why no shipping company has dared to operate fixed flights on this route so far.
