At this time, there was only Helsinger from Denmark, but there was no Helsinger opposite Helsinger. Moreover, Helsinger was also a small town with a small population. Seeing Hong Tao and other strange warships trying to get to the door of their house, the fishing boats here were not afraid, and they also tried to follow him to see what was going on.

Unfortunately, their ship speed could not catch up with Hong Tao's fleet, and Hong Tao was not interested in visiting this Nordic town. The main reason was that they were worried that they could not speak well. The people here had a bad temper. They had to start before they finished speaking, and they would never stop fighting. The most desperate ships in Flanders Hanssa all had Danish cross flags, so don't mess with them.

Going further forward is Copenhagen, where Hong Tao's fleet encountered some minor troubles here. These Danes really didn't know how to live or die. When they saw the strange fleet sailing into their territory, they immediately chased them up with two three-masted warships, followed by several smaller sailboats, all of which were hung with the flags of Flanders Hanseatic. It seems that this is their birthplace, and it is not unfair not to say that the power is monopoly.

"Put the bottom sails, control the speed of the ship, and take them with you." Hong Tao didn't want to turn around and fight because of these two ships. It would be much more convenient if he could take them to the destination and deal with them. For this reason, he specially asked the sailors to put away the sails to lower the speed of the ship so that they would not throw them too far.

In fact, even if the other party doesn't follow, it's okay. After burning down the shipyard at the mouth of the Travo River, their fleet still has to return the same way, and they still cannot escape their fate of being sunk. According to time, the people here probably don't know about the Castle of Foberhenopzom, nor do they know that the organization Flanders Hanseatic has been dead in name only.

After passing through the Femaine Strait, the right bank is full of vast forests, including coniferous and broad-leaved forests, most of which are northern European pine and oak, and they are very tall. Both of these woods are good materials for building sea ships and the main materials for Flanders Hanseatic ships. No wonder they put the largest shipyard here, with sufficient raw materials, everywhere, just chop them up.

The Travo River Estuary is easy to recognize because the tall trees on both sides have been cut down. Looking at the stumps on the tree stumps, the latest one is only about one or two years. In order not to be discovered by the people in the river in advance, Hong Tao took the three or four pursuers behind him and turned north in a small circle, and sank the ships one by one on the sea surface about twenty kilometers away from the estuary. This time, Hong Tao had a good memory, and the Nordics were unwilling to surrender, so he stopped talking nonsense and sent them to see the sea god.

After cleaning up his tail, Hong Tao did something less chivalrous. He asked his fleet to replace it with the flag of Flanders Hanseatic, and then swaggered into the river estuary.

The Flanders Hanssa shipyard is located about three kilometers away from the estuary. It is a natural wide water area, like a gourd belly, and the estuary is a gourd mouth. There are several kilometers of woods here to block the cold wind from the Baltic Sea. The water surface is both calm and deep, which is indeed a good place to build a shipyard. What makes Hong Tao even more jealous is that there are actually six boat platforms here, each with inclined ramps. In other words, as long as the manpower and materials are enough, this shipyard can start construction of six large sailboats at the same time, which is two more than the Mayi Naval Shipyard, the largest Mayi Navy Shipyard in the Jinhe Empire. It is really a luxury.

"These are the crystallization of human wisdom. It's a pity to destroy it! You must water all the whale oil thoroughly, and don't leave any for them. Even the forest in the east is also added together, so that they won't think about it again in the future." Sometimes Hong Tao is indeed a little nervous, and what he says is completely opposite to what he does. He is extremely sorry, but when he destroys it, he is cleaner and neater than anyone else.

Not only did he burn the shipyard, but he also burned the forest next to him. This dense forest could not be seen at all. It is hard to say whether the fire would spread eastward along the southern bank of Polo to Riga. Anyway, if it really burned, it would definitely not be the best torch if these red pine trees filled with grease would become the best torches when they saw the fire.

Faced with a fleet of cannons and hunting rifles, the shipyard, which was basically not well-defended, was quickly attacked. The only two wooden turrets did not even have the chance to fire, and the pile of logs under the ship was knocked down by the naval guns. The cannons above rolled down with the logs, crushing the several gunners who were climbing up into meat pie.

Compared with those Nordic sailors, the craftsmen in the shipyard were much more obedient. When some people who dared to rush up with various tools were ruthlessly put on the ground by hunting rifle, the remaining people threw down all weapons according to the gestures of the Indian soldiers, obediently raised their hands and knelt on the ground, and then tied them into a string of thin cables by the Indian soldiers, and drove them onto the cargo ship. This was not the end. Some of them had to pour the whale oil stored in the shipyard into every corner of the shipyard, and the rest were moved to the forest.

Afterwards, Hong Tao led the fleet and the prisoners to continue tracing along the river, and finally found the foundry about five kilometers away from the city of Lubeck. Like the shipyard, there were no defense measures, only a few cargo ships resisted slightly with small cannons on the deck. When they were all sunk, the foundry was also occupied by armed sailors and army soldiers, and then they caught people and carried grease.

"Fire the gun" When the sky was already a little dim, Hong Tao's fleet set sail again, and two mortars were placed on the deck of the flagship. After hearing Hong Tao's order, the gunner picked up a shell with a yellow circle at the tail and put it into the gun barrel. With a muffled sound, a few seconds later, a bright flame burst out from the foundry, and the fire suddenly became bigger, and it even caught up with the speed of the warship and swept from south to north.

Originally, Hong Tao wanted to find the gunpowder factory that was set up near Lubeck City, but the river channel in front was getting narrower and narrower, not suitable for large warship activities. He was not familiar with it, so he simply gave up. When his fleet sailed out of the mouth of the Travo River, the sky, which had been completely dark, was different from usual. The sky to the south emitted a faint red color, which was the burning fire in the shipyard and foundry, which made the sky red.

From beginning to end, Hong Tao did not see any pursuers. It was probably the fire that ignited the forest and blocked the road. Or there were no large-scale troops here at all. They did not expect the enemy to suddenly appear at their doorstep.

The journey back was relatively smooth. In order to fill the cabin with captives, Hong Tao also raided Helsinger at night, captured another hundred people, and specially selected more than a dozen Nordic girls who looked quite pleasing to the eye. With such a big palace, it was impossible to be completely empty inside. I took some little girls back to Tu and asked her to train for a few years, so I would be a good maid.

"Hehe, I have a palace and a harem too! Hahaha, I have to come up with some black, white, red and yellow. What is debauchery in the future is not accurate to others. I must look at the king of the Kingdom of Mexica, and this word belongs to me!" When I think of his big palace full of gold and gems, Hong Tao was happy from the bottom of his heart.

Through this incident, he thought that one thing must be invented early, that is photosensitive film. It would be so interesting if he could take a photo of his palace. This is precious historical material. In the future, historians who want to understand the history of the world must look at their own photos while gritting their teeth and scolding themselves as bastards. Maybe there must be a must-take in the exam questions every year: King Hong Tao of Mexica, how many concubines in the harem are there!

Then the town was burned, and then he reluctantly boarded the ship and left. I knew that Europeans were so easy to catch, and he ran so far to Africa to catch slaves. Anyway, they would be exhausted and sick, and the color of their skin was different? If it weren't for the purpose of avoiding the difficulties in Carl's aftermath, Hong Tao would have wanted to replace the future slave arrest site with the British Isles, where there was a large population. It would be fine if he had circled around the beach and caught thousands of people.
