Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1584, Looting Marseille Port
On the Egyptian side, the flames of war are raging and the smoke is filled.

Europe seems to have ushered in a rare period of peace. The three countries of England, France, Portugal and Spain are peaceful on the surface, but undercurrents are actually surging.

The three countries combined with the Netherlands, Denmark and other Nordic countries to form a pirate alliance, which specialized in robbing Spanish treasure ships and colonial strongholds in West Africa, North Africa, and the Mediterranean, and obtained huge benefits and huge wealth from them.

The Spaniards are well aware of this, and are also looking for opportunities to retaliate against them.

In the southeast of France, the port of Marseille along the Mediterranean Sea is one of the largest ports in France, because of the Mediterranean port, and the Mediterranean Sea has always been the center of European maritime trade.

Originally, with the opening of the Atlantic route, the center of the Mediterranean ocean trade was shaken proudly, but since Daming acquired the South Caucasus region, the trade routes of the Mediterranean, Black Sea, Nanyun Province, and Daming have developed rapidly, making the Mediterranean ocean trade not only Instead of being weakened, it flourished again.

At the same time, the Canal of Egypt has been opened again recently, which has further stimulated the maritime trade of the Mediterranean Sea as an important port along the Mediterranean Sea.

The trade in Marseille Port has always been very prosperous. The guild established authority in Marseille very early, and even established various specialized associations. Even the fishermen who fished established the Fishermen's Federation.

At the same time, as an important port city of France in the Mediterranean Sea, Marseille also undertakes many missions of France in the Mediterranean Sea, and is the most important port trade city in France.

A large number of goods from the East are resold here to all parts of France, and even to the Netherlands and the Nordic countries. This also makes the Maasai people extremely wealthy. They have always had a rebellious spirit and specifically resisted the central rule of France.

Of course, this is also related to the history of this city. In history, it was once ruled by Tunisia and Algeria in North Africa, and it was also occupied by ordinary people, Spaniards, and the Kingdom of Sicily.

Because of its important geographical location and unique port conditions, everyone covets it and will try to annex it.

At this moment, more than a hundred thousand people in Marseille Port are still immersed in the prosperity and prosperity of maritime trade, immersed in their own good years. No one knows that a huge fleet is going from four to four The directions are scattered towards the port of Marseilles.

On the 'Izumo', Dongfang Yue felt the warm sea breeze of the Mediterranean Sea, looked at the dark world ahead with a telescope, and could faintly see a light, which was the light on the Marseille Port Lighthouse.

I rolled up my sleeves and looked at the watch on my wrist. The time was exactly five o'clock, and the eastern sky had begun to glow slightly, and it would be dawn soon.

"Let's do the surgery on you French people today!"

"Pretending to be pirates and attacking our Japanese colonies, you will eventually pay the price in blood!"

Dongfang Yue looked serious.

Wa country's expansion in West Africa was not smooth, which was largely influenced by pirates.

The pirates often attacked the Japanese colonies in West Africa one after another, which made the Japanese people very irritable, but they still had nothing to do with these pirates.

These Western European pirates are very familiar with West Africa, and they are elusive, so it is difficult to eliminate them at all.

Even if they joined forces with Spain, they still couldn't destroy these pirates. Instead, they made these pirates more and more rampant, and both the Spaniards and the Japanese suffered heavy losses.

A large number of treasure ships and colonies were looted, and sometimes it was useless for the Japanese to even pretend to be Ming people. These Western European pirates were able to clearly distinguish the Ming people from the Japanese. Staring at the looting of the Japanese treasure ships also made Dongfang Yuexin suffocate With a burst of anger.

The Ashikaga shogunate runs a colony on the West Tianzhu side, and the business is booming, and it can get a lot of wealth from the colony every year.

However, the colony on the West African side of the King of Japan has never been able to really develop. Not only did it not bring considerable benefits, but it even needed to keep putting money into it.

The Wa King in the country is quite dissatisfied with this, and many daimyos who support the Wa King are also very dissatisfied, demanding that Dongfang Yue must break the situation as soon as possible and obtain wealth from the colony.

Dongfang Yue hated these pirates.

After finding out their footsteps, they knew that they were supported by several countries in Western Europe, and Dongfang Yue had been brewing a revenge plan.

After a year-long plan, they united with Spain, which also hated pirates, and formulated a strategy to treat others in their own way.

They pretend to be pirates, and we also pretend to be pirates, pirates to pirates, you sneak attack on our colonies and treasure ships, we will directly loot your homeland, and we will make big moves as soon as we come, absolutely no small trouble, the first one The goal is the port of Marseille in front of you.

The fleet was getting closer and closer to the port of Marseille in the darkness, and the sky in the east was also glowing red, and the sun was gradually rising. It was early morning, and it was also the time when people slept the deepest during the day.

Three lights and two dark signals came from the lighthouse of Marseille Port very quickly. This is because the Spaniards arranged in advance for a large number of people to lurk into Marseille Port and quietly occupied some important places.

"Good~"

"Go in, loot all the wealth for me, arrest everyone here, and turn them into slaves!"

When Dongfangyue saw the signal, she immediately laughed happily, and then gave the order to attack.

Soon, ships sailing on the sea quickly headed towards the port of Marseille.

Because a large number of people had lurked in ahead of time, and quietly captured important forts, watchtowers, city gates and other places.

The huge fleet led by Dongfang Yue had already lurked into the port of Marseilles almost silently, a large number of Spaniards and Japanese, all dressed up as pirates, wearing tattered clothes, and even Dongfang Yue himself Also holding a blindfold to cover one eye, looking like a pirate.

This time, the Spaniards dispatched [-] people, and the Japanese side also dispatched [-] people, a total of [-] people, and took more than [-] large and small ships to the port of Marseille.

When the sky was getting brighter, the people in the port of Marseilles woke up and prepared to start a busy day. Only then did they realize that the port of Marseilles had been ransacked by pirates.

The defenders of Marseille Port were even captured in the barracks and in their sleep, tightly bound, waiting for their fate to be sold like piglets to the plantations on Daming's side as slaves.

"Pirate~pirate~"

The streets and alleys of Marseille Port were completely chaotic, countless people shouted with gongs and drums, and then fled in all directions like headless flies.

It's just that Dongfangyue has already controlled all the entrances and exits of Marseille Port, and closed the door to catch a turtle. Anyway, the defenders have been almost eliminated, and the remaining ordinary people are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Dongfangyue didn't even have the slightest intention of being anxious, and let her subordinates slowly sweep one by one, and even made a tin horn to make people shout continuously, as long as she took the initiative to come out, she wouldn't die, if she hid at home, At that time, they will all be killed without mercy.

Many people are greedy for life and afraid of death, so they just walked out of the house honestly, lined up in the street, were tied up, and then put on boats and drove away directly.

Of course, Europeans have always been rich in chivalry. Even without the army, many people dared to resist, but they encountered pirates pretending to be Japanese and Spanish troops. Their chivalry was fragile, and a large number of people who resisted were shot mercilessly Killed, the corpses were discarded in the streets and alleys very casually, for the citizens of Marseilles who were still hiding to see.

"Haha~"

"It's still Mr. Dongfang's plan that works~"

"This time we made a lot of money. Just selling these slaves can make us a profit of several million taels of silver. In addition to the many merchant ships, goods and treasures obtained in the port of Marseilles, this time, conservatively estimated, we can also Obtain wealth exceeding tens of millions of taels of silver."

Dongfangyue stood on the top of the city, and beside him stood the Spanish commander Leo. Leo watched the residents of the city come out, waited in line to be tied up, and then looked at the soldiers under his command They broke into the houses like wolves and tigers, and kept scraping inside, scraping out a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, and he couldn't help laughing happily.

This feeling is really cool.

The goods and ships here belong to him, the people here can still be sold as slaves, and the huge wealth accumulated here is also looted by him all at once.

"It's only ten thousand taels of silver~"

Dongfangyue looked at Leo with some disdain. These European barbarians know how to fight and kill, but don't know how to use tactics. Barbarians are barbarians after all, and only we oriental people are truly civilized people.

How can the wisdom of the East be understood by European barbarians like them?

"The port of Marseille in front of me is just the beginning~"
