Captures 60,000 pirate in Friendship City not to support afternoon, all surrenders. 攻入友谊城中的六万海盗还没撑过下午,就悉数投降。 This match near 30,000 pirate was buried in the city, a post-war entire Outer City piece in confusion, the corpse horizontally everywhere, the rich smell of blood filled the air in the main street and small alley, even if there is a sea breeze to sway, was not loose for a very long time, making the person have a lingering fear. 此役近三万海盗葬身城内,战后整个外城一片狼藉,尸横遍地,浓郁的血腥味弥漫在大街小巷,即便有海风吹拂,也久久不散,让人心有余悸。 Friendship City City Overseer Gu Xiuwen took on responsibility, cleaned up city, settled in Fucheng the common people, put off the fire, counted the personnel casualty and financial loss, all in good order. 友谊城城守顾修文担起了责任,清理城池,安抚城中百姓,扑灭大火,统计人员伤亡与财务损失,一切井井有条。 Restless morale, stabilizes gradually. 不安的民心,渐渐稳定下来。 In City Lord Residence, win Ouyang Shuo is unhappy, board a face. What this war routs is only one crowd of pirate, really does not have anything to be good to show off. Two Farah run away once more, making Ouyang Shuo quite depressed. Behind three this matter misgivings numerous, the hand that like not being able to see is operating all secretly. 城主府中,打了胜仗的欧阳朔却并不开心,板着一张脸。一则此战击溃的只是一群海盗,实在没什么好炫耀的。二则法拉赫再次逃走,让欧阳朔颇为沮丧。三则此事背后疑云重重,像是有一只看不见的手在暗地里操纵一切。 Friendship City was raided is far from an accident. 友谊城被袭绝非意外。 This time although has repelled pirate, to „Capital of Trade that” Friendship City establishes with great difficulty prestige, even to the Mighty Route prestige, is a huge impact. 此番虽然击退了海盗,对友谊城好不容易才建立起的“商贸之都”信誉,甚至对伟大航路的信誉,都是一个巨大的冲击。 As the news spreads, this negative impact will proliferate gradually, in a short time is hard to eliminate. 随着消息传出,这种负面冲击将会渐渐扩散开来,短时间内难以消除。 Suppose, facing one momentarily possibly by city of pirate attack, open sea Merchant is also dared to come this to anchor the supplies? Facing a not peaceful route , how many will Merchant shrink back at the sight? 试想,面对一座随时可能被海盗袭击的城池,远洋商人还敢来此停靠补给吗？面对一条不太平的航路,又有多少商人会望而却步？ The answer is obvious. 答案显而易见。 The back of this attack, the goal points to the trade of foundation Great Xia King Dynasty, the intention is nothing less than dangerous. 这一场袭击的背后,目标直指大夏王朝之贸易根基,用心不可谓不险恶。 In the afternoon, Black Snake Guard Command Envoy Black Snake transmitted by Rabat City to Friendship City in a hurry. The instruction of Ouyang Shuo to Black Snake is very simple: „Investigated thoroughly to this King, whom clarifies also to participate in this time pirate city.” 当天下午,黑蛇卫指挥使黑蛇由拉巴特城匆匆传送至友谊城。欧阳朔对黑蛇的指令很简单:“给本王彻查,弄清楚还有谁参与了这次的海盗袭城。” Depending on the intuition, Ouyang Shuo suspected that in Nation of Somalia should have the Farah planted agent. 凭直觉,欧阳朔怀疑索马里国内应该有法拉赫的内应。 „!” “诺！” Black Snake does not dare to neglect, immediately assembles the capable strength, is captured pirate to start from the interrogation, follows up a clue, must discover secretly the person of pulling strings. 黑蛇丝毫不敢怠慢,当即调集精干力量,从审问被俘海盗开始,顺藤摸瓜,务必找出幕后指使之人。 Captured Second Leader, naturally has become the Black Snake Guard key interrogation goal. 被俘的二首领,自然成了黑蛇卫重点审问目标。 Ouyang Shuo fully realized, in Pirate Group Farah is the key man, key figure. 只是欧阳朔深知,海盗团中法拉赫才是关键人物,灵魂人物。 Therefore, Ouyang Shuo transmitted orders changed the name is Atlantic Fleet original Mediterranean Fleet, arranged fourth, Fifth Formation instantly passes through Mediterranean Sea, rushes to Gulf of Aden sea domain, arrests „Pirate King” Farah. 因此,欧阳朔传令已经更名为大西洋舰队的原地中海舰队,安排第四、第五编队即刻穿越地中海,赶到亚丁湾海域,缉拿“海盗王”法拉赫。 Only then seize Farah, exterminates to behave badly thoroughly 【Skywolf Pirate Group】, Beheads to expose to the public it, restrains according to the law, can redeem the prestige that Friendship City loses, guarantees the prosperity of Mighty Route. 只有拿下法拉赫,彻底剿灭作孽的【天狼海盗团】,将其斩首示众,绳之以法,才能挽回友谊城失去的信誉,确保伟大航路的繁荣。 This time, Ouyang Shuo will again absolutely not leave trouble for the future. 这一次,欧阳朔断不会再放虎归山。 In City Lord Residence study room, in Ouyang Shuo ponders the Gulf of Aden situation, Xu Chu incoming telegram: „beginning report Your Kingship, Friendship City Garrison Division Division Chief seeks an interview in out of the door.” 城主府书房内,就在欧阳朔思考亚丁湾局势时,许褚来报:“启禀王上,友谊城警备师团的师团长在门外求见。” Ouyang Shuo listened, the brow jumps, the climate does not hit one, the ruthless sound said: „Does he have a face to see this King? Transmitted orders, does not need to see, instantly detains this person, hands over handles by Privy Court Military Law Division.” 欧阳朔听了,眉头一跳,顿时气不打一处来,狠声说道:“他还有脸来见本王？传令下去,不必见了,即刻将此人收押,交由枢密院军法司处置。” This war, solemn Garrison Division, holds the advantage then, there is a firm city to defend, facing 60,000 pirate siege, less than three hours lost Outer City unexpectedly, really loses completely the Great Xia King Dynasty honor. 此战,堂堂一个警备师团,占有地利之便,又有坚城可守,面对六万海盗的攻城,竟然不到三个小时就丢了外城,实在是丢尽了大夏王朝的脸面。 pirate is no doubt flagitious, but Garrison Division usually is negligent in the training, the wartime conductor is also improper, is the fact. Trades to make other Garrison Division, possibly so is absolutely not distressed. 海盗固然凶残,但是警备师团平日里疏于训练,战时又指挥不当,也是客观事实。换做其他一个警备师团,断不可能如此狼狈。 In this kind of situation, how Ouyang Shuo does not get angry. 这样一种情况下,欧阳朔如何不怒。 „!” “诺！” Xu Chu very rare Your Kingship so loses one's temper, does not dare to talk too much, can only pay silent tribute for that Division Chief. He does not pay a visit fortunately, Your Kingship may also deal with leniently ; to hit in the muzzle now, is actually everyone cannot help. 许褚很少见王上如此动怒,不敢多言,只能替那位师团长默哀了。他不来拜见还好,王上还有可能从轻发落；现在撞到枪口上,却是谁也帮不上忙。 From the awful performance of Friendship City Garrison Division, Ouyang Shuo associates to other Garrison Division. 由友谊城警备师团的糟糕表现,欧阳朔更是联想到其他警备师团。 „It seems like, it is necessary to make Privy Court in a big way come one time to inspect to each region Garrison Division.” Ouyang Shuo thinks in within heart secretly, but local military preparations relaxation big taboo of King Dynasty rule. “看来,有必要让枢密院对各地警备师团来一次大考核了。”欧阳朔在心中暗暗想到,地方武备松弛可是王朝统治之大忌。 ............ ………… That night, Ouyang Shuo gave a banquet in City Lord Residence personally, receives cordially everyone big Merchant in Friendship City. 当天晚上,欧阳朔亲自在城主府设宴,款待友谊城内的诸位大商人。 Invitation of King of Xia, really invites a day of good fortune to Merchant. 得夏王之邀,对商人而言实在是邀天之幸。 Ouyang Shuo this act naturally must comfort the heart of Merchant, reduces as far as possible this time attacks the effect on the Friendship City trade, rallies the Merchant confidence. This matter was acted by City Overseer Gu Xiuwen then, but Gu Xiuwen acts to act with Ouyang Shuo, the effect is different. 欧阳朔此举自然要安抚商人之心,尽可能地降低此番袭击对友谊城贸易的影响,重振商人信心。原本此事由城守顾修文出面即可,只是顾修文出面跟欧阳朔出面,效果是不一样的。 In the big banquet hall, Ouyang Shuo raises glass, the audience is instantaneously peaceful. Ouyang Shuo observes the situation everyone big Merchant, said: „This time Friendship City was attacked by pirate, Dynasty Court does not appease, King Dynasty Atlantic Fleet set sail, arrive Gulf of Aden, will thoroughly exterminate 【Skywolf Pirate Group】, But also Gulf of Aden Taiping (peaceful).” 诺大的宴会厅内,欧阳朔举杯,全场瞬间安静下来。欧阳朔环视诸位大商人,道:“此番友谊城遭海盗袭击,朝廷绝不姑息,王朝大西洋舰队已经起航,不日就将抵达亚丁湾,彻底剿灭【天狼海盗团】,还亚丁湾一个太平。” „King of Xia understands clearly!” “夏王圣明！” The Merchant great happiness, they year to year do business area Mediterranean Sea, to the Atlantic Fleet prestige knowledge quite deep, knows that has this Fleet to get rid, 【Skywolf Pirate Group】 This time is unable to escape by luck surely. 商人大喜,他们常年在地中海一带经商,对大西洋舰队的威名知之颇深,知道有此舰队出手,【天狼海盗团】此番定无法幸免。 The restless heart, is gradually tranquil. 不安的心,渐渐平静下来。 Ouyang Shuo then said: „Dynasty Court it is duty to defend our territory, everyone trusts Dynasty Court, anchors the supplies in Friendship City. This time the pirate attack to the loss that everyone creates, Dynasty Court 100 percent compensates. Tomorrow everyone may arrive at City Lord Residence to register to lose truthfully, after the checking, instantly compensates.” 欧阳朔接着说道:“朝廷守土有责,诸位信任朝廷,才在友谊城停靠补给。此番海盗袭击对诸位造成的损失,朝廷将百分百进行补偿。明天诸位就可到城主府如实登记损失,待核实之后,即刻补偿。” „This......” “这……” Merchant look at each other in blank dismay, has not thought that also has this grade of good deed. According to general rule, even if Dynasty Court does not make any compensation, Merchant is speechless. This sum total compensation, hears something never heard of before simply. 商人们面面相觑,没想到还有这等好事。按一般规则,就算朝廷不做任何补偿,商人都无话可说。这种全额赔偿,简直是闻所未闻。 „Thanked the King of Xia kindness!” Merchant are grateful, particularly this match lost greatly, almost cries. Although the ocean trade the profit is big, but goods are robbed completely, could lose a bottom to fall. “谢夏王恩典！”商人们真是感激涕零,尤其是此役损失巨大的,更是差点落泪。远洋贸易虽然利润大,可一趟货全部被劫走,可能就要输个底掉。 Dynasty Court this act, does not know that recalled many Merchant futures. 朝廷此举,不知挽回了多少商人的前途。 Ouyang Shuo nods the head, this is similar to „thousand gold to buy the bones”, rather spends a money, must redeem the confidence of Merchant to Dynasty Court, this may compared with important that several 100,000 gold coin come. 欧阳朔颔首,他这一手类似于“千金买骨”,宁可花一点钱,也要挽回商人对朝廷的信心,这可比几十万金币来的重要。 Has this good news, the following banquet is guests and hosts having a good time. 有此好消息,接下来的宴会自是宾主尽欢。 ************ ************ Ouyang Shuo buys the hearts of the people in Friendship City, has not thought also to have the bad news to transmit next day. 欧阳朔在友谊城收买人心,不曾想次日又有坏消息传来。 Atlantic Fleet fourth, Fifth Formation follows orders to pass through Mediterranean Sea, encounters the Mediterranean Sea Landgraf collective to protest, negotiations that even does not hesitate to stop carry on. 大西洋舰队第四、第五编队奉命穿越地中海,遭到地中海领主的集体抗议,甚至不惜中止正在进行的谈判。 With their words, „Great Xia King Dynasty, since pledged that Atlantic Fleet no longer steps in Mediterranean Sea, should from observe the commitment at this moment. Atlantic Fleet this act, without doubt is breaking a promise.” 用他们的话来说,“大夏王朝既然已经承诺大西洋舰队不再涉足地中海,就该从此刻起信守承诺。大西洋舰队此举,无疑是一种毁约。” „To the Great Xia King Dynasty sincerity, we were doubtful.” Caesar said. “对大夏王朝的诚意,我们深表怀疑。”凯撒如是说。 But, negotiations delegation High Envoy Purple Silk Orchid can only ask for instructions Ouyang Shuo urgently, how to handle this matter. 无奈之下,谈判团正使紫罗兰只能紧急请示欧阳朔,如何处置此事。 Ouyang Shuo obtains the news, for a very long time is speechless, these time is Great Xia King Dynasty is actually in the wrong. 欧阳朔得到消息,久久无语,这一次却是大夏王朝理亏。 „Is only, was the time extremely the coincidence a point?” Ouyang Shuo has to get suspicious, negotiates and pirate attacks Friendship City, whether between both has the relation, Ouyang Shuo now is not good to draw a conclusion easily. “只是,时间上是不是太过巧合了一点？”欧阳朔不得不起疑心,谈判跟海盗袭击友谊城,两者之间是否有联系呢,欧阳朔现在还不好轻易下结论。 Yesterday evening, Ouyang Shuo also thinks that the Merchant commitment must send Atlantic Fleet to exterminate pirate. If breaks a promise, that may really slap in the face, the Ouyang Shuo previous all efforts will drain. 昨天晚上,欧阳朔还想商人承诺要派大西洋舰队来剿灭海盗。倘若失信,那可真是打脸,欧阳朔此前的一切努力都将付诸东流。 Facing this predicament, Ouyang Shuo went to the Continent of Africa southernmost the vision finally, there, mysterious place that called Cape of Good Hope. 面对此困局,欧阳朔终于将目光投向了非洲大陆的最南端,在那里,有一个叫好望角的神奇之地。 Before Suez Canal has not opened cutting, route of Europe to the Asia can only pass through West Africa from Western Europe, detours Cape of Good Hope of South Africa to reach Asia again, the Cape of Good Hope route becomes the Europe person goes to the Eastern only navigation route. 在苏伊士运河未开凿之前,欧洲对亚洲之航线仅能自西欧经西非,再绕道南非之好望角而达亚洲,好望角航路成为欧洲人前往东方的唯一海上通道。 After Suez Canal clears, although the function of this route has been weaken, but was still among Eurasia the indispensable important channel, some huge ships are unable through Suez Canal, to detour from here. 苏伊士运河开通后,这条航路的作用虽有所减弱,但仍然是欧亚之间不可或缺的重要通道,一些巨轮无法通过苏伊士运河,必须从这里绕道。 Speaking of the Cape of Good Hope route, has to raise Europe historical famous Crusades. 说到好望角航路,就不得不提欧洲历史上著名的十字军东征。 The A. D. 1000 year, Europe starts great change, Rome Catholic Church follower hope ****** expels Middle East district, was started Crusades that to begin in 1096 by the Rome Holy See, continued approximately the 200 year. 公元一千年,欧洲开始巨变,罗马天主教信徒希望把******赶出中东地区,由罗马教廷发动的十字军东征始于1096年,前后持续大约两百年。 Europe army's appearance in Middle East district, promoted the development of ocean trade in disguised form. 欧洲军队在中东地区的出现,变相推动了远洋贸易的发展。 The Venice and other place of Italy Merchant through transport and provides the commodity for belligerent parties, makes the war wealth greatly. Meanwhile, when the crusade returns to Europe, brings back to Middle East district spice, perfume, silk, steel and iron and medicine, becomes the Europe marketable readily marketable commodities. 威尼斯等地的意大利商人通过为交战各方运输和提供物资,大发战争财。于此同时,十字军返回欧洲时,带回中东地区的香料、香水、丝绸、钢铁和药品,成为欧洲抢手的畅销品。 The ocean trade has led emerging of cities, has accomplished large quantities of rich Europe Merchant. 远洋贸易带动了城镇的兴起,也造就了一大批富有的欧洲商人。 The strength continuous growth of Europe country, they have established the army and government, sufficiently maintains the operation of army and government by the tax money that the taxpayer pays. 欧洲国家的力量不断壮大,他们设置了军队和政府,靠纳税人缴纳的税款就足以维持军队和政府的运作。 To the 15 century time, the Europe country has been ready to make trouble, is ready that went out to explore. 到十五世纪的时候,欧洲国家已经蠢蠢欲动,做好了外出探险的准备。 The Portugal person earliest moves, 1400 time, they want to control with the Eastern spice trade, wants to cross Venice and Arab middle man, does business with the East directly. 葡萄牙人是最早行动的,1400年的时候,他们就想控制跟东方的香料贸易,想越过威尼斯和阿拉伯的中间商,直接跟东方做生意。 If they can by sea go to Asia to purchase these commodities directly, can considerably increase the profit. 如果他们能直接经海路前往亚洲购买这些商品,就能大大增加盈利。 The Portugal explorers had been to the Africa West Sea shore, hope found and an East Asia to the route in Indian, their finally arrive Continent of Africa southernmost Cape of Good Hope. 葡萄牙的探险家们到过非洲西海岸,希望找到一条通往印度和东亚的路线,他们最后抵达了非洲大陆的最南端好望角。 Compares Suez Canal, Cape of Good Hope is not any ideal route. 相比苏伊士运河,好望角算不上什么理想航路。 Because Cape of Good Hope is in Indian Ocean Wen Liu with the Antarctica cold current junction, difficult situation that the strong westerly jet raises year to year unceasingly, here damages besides the storm, but also has „murder wave” frequently appearance. 因为好望角正好处于印度洋温流跟南极洲寒流的汇合处,强劲的西风急流掀起的惊涛骇浪常年不断,这里除风暴为害外,还常常有“杀人浪”出现。 Front this ocean waves just likes sheer precipice, behind looks like hillside slowly, in the winter frequent emergence, but also often adds on the revolving wave that the ground wind causes extremely, when these two ocean waves fold puts together, the sea condition is worse. Moreover here also has very strong littoral current, when wave and class meet, the entire sea level is similar to boils the tumbling, navigates often suffers disaster to here Shipping. 这种海浪前部犹如悬崖峭壁,后部则像缓缓的山坡,在冬季频繁出现,还不时加上极地风引起的旋转浪,当这两种海浪叠加在一起时,海况就更加恶劣。而且这里还有很强的沿岸流,当浪与流相遇时,整个海面如同开锅似的翻滚,航行到这里的船舶往往遭难。 Therefore, Cape of Good Hope becomes in the world most Dangerous navigation section. 因此,好望角成为世界上最危险的航海地段。 Ouyang Shuo this time plans to make Atlantic Fleet bypass Cape of Good Hope, develops the Cape of Good Hope route, detours arrive Somalia, is but electing. 欧阳朔此番计划让大西洋舰队绕过好望角,开拓好望角航路,绕道抵达索马里,也是无奈之选。 Extermination 【Skywolf Pirate Group】, Is related to the King Dynasty prestige. 剿灭【天狼海盗团】,事关王朝信誉。 Ouyang Shuo as the Great Xia King Dynasty king, one word worth nine dings , he since makes the commitment to Merchant, must fulfill, otherwise, breaks a promise in the people, breaks a promise in the world. 欧阳朔作为大夏王朝的王,一言九鼎,他既然对商人做出承诺,就必须履行,否则的话,就是失信于民,失信于天下。
