Chapter 735 Holding a party

The battle was completed in a very short half afternoon, which shocked Louis IX and Conrad IV, two European emperors. Although they used muskets and shot live targets, they personally participated in the battle, but the ending speed of the war was shockingly fast.

Before night fell, the pirates had already changed into sails again, and even the harvest was delighted by everyone. Of course, this did not include the two kings of Europe, and these incomes had nothing to do with them.

As many as 20 pirate ships provided Zhao Fubo with about 2,000 slaves. Many of them were pirates, and many were people they transported to sell them as slaves. Looking at the harvest, everyone couldn't help but feel excited.

"I can't believe that the naval battle of this scale is almost over?"

Conrad IV's afternoon order obviously had consumed a lot of income from his Kingdom of Jerusalem and the German kings. Therefore, when he looked at these slaves, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous. But 2,000 muskets were enough for him to build a musket ball. As the saying goes, there will be rewards for his efforts, and when he returns to Sicily, it will naturally be a role.

"It seems that if we want to get these things, we still need to increase our income to achieve it!"

At this moment, looking at Zhao Fubo's income, he still told himself in his heart that one of the 20 pirate ships did not run away, but their voyage was different from Zhao Fubo and others. They were going to a small island called Kasos Island in the south of Kerry Island.

From Heraklion City, 800 kilometers away from Cyprus, two transfers between Casos and Meisti Island are needed in the middle, otherwise the "light report" cannot convey information. Originally, Zhao Fubo could not start building now because of the manpower problem.

Then with these 2,000 slaves, we can build a node of an intercontinental lighthouse that is more than 100 meters high by just transporting enough materials from Egypt.

In fact, these islands have no great economic value, but they will play a considerable role as supply stations to Europe in the future and will also be the main node for transmitting information.

"Matt, bring a squadron to protect them there, and I will buy more slaves and food in Crete to send them over. Then send a clutch to Cyprus, let the lighthouse there connect with Egypt, and ask them to send materials for the intercontinental signal tower."

Zhao Fubo pointed his finger on the map. His changing plan would undoubtedly bring a lot of trouble. But if these slaves were sent back to Egypt by boat, it would be a lot of trouble. Instead of sending them back there, it would be more appropriate to start building signal towers and sea supply bases according to the several islands mentioned above.

Matt had nothing to say, but it could be seen from his face that he was worried that Zhao Fubo would throw him away on his trip to Europe. After all, going back to his father's hometown to see it was his father and him who had always wanted to do so.

"After you have arranged your defense, you come here. We will visit the island in the next few days to wait for your return."

"Yes, sir!"

Zhao Fubo's promise made Matt feel relieved, but Louis IX and Conrad IV were worried. After all, the island they had seen was a Byzantine, and now the island of Casos they were now occupied by Venetians. Although there may not be many people on the island, Zhao Fubo obviously did not intend to apply for anyone. I believe that the young naval fleet commander in front of him would probably have a cannon and then occupy the matter.

"Your Majesty, this island...this island belongs to the Republic of Venice, if we don't say hello..."

Zhao Fubo had no interest in knowing who the island belonged to. The people on the island either naturalize or sent them away from the island for free as compensation for land prices. As for this island, it naturally belongs to him, His Royal Highness of the Song Dynasty.

"The Republic of Venice? The island of Crete we are going to belong to them. I really don't understand these guys, are they still thinking about the island when they have a big island? And shouldn't we charge some fees if we wiped out the pirates for them?"

Louis IX stopped his reminder at the right time, and suddenly realized that these words were really redundant. After all, is there any warships on the Mediterranean that are better than the warships of this guy in front of him? If not, it would be a good idea if he wanted these islands, including large islands such as Crete.

"Of course, no matter what you say, it's no matter how reasonable I mean. We will go to visit the Governor of Venice here tonight. He will appreciate your contribution to Crete. He should receive more thanks than a mere island!"

Conrad IV, who was standing aside, heard Louis IX's "sharp turn" and suppressed the smile in his heart. He knew that His Majesty Louis IX was probably not too used to the way of doing "Aladdin Emperor". And according to his way of doing things, Conrad IV had just thought of a good proposal to ensure that the Venetians would be very willing to exchange it with that small island after hearing it.

"Yes, as His Majesty Louis IX said, your means of cleaning up pirates will make Venice grateful. And I would like to remind you that the Venetians and the Genoese will be very interested in your big ship. If you are willing to sell them, I guess they will agree to whatever you want.

And they are merchants at sea. Apart from passing the ship, I guess they will really like what you said about building a trade route. Even the two of them can compete. I guess they understand that in order to get the right to ship your trade products, they will break the head!"

Amid the vivid suggestions of Conrad IV, Zhao Fubo's interest was amused. However, he did not plan to visit the Governor of Venice. He had already discussed a strategy with Wang Wentong before coming, not afraid that these guys would not offer what Zhao Fubo wanted with both hands.

Of course, it is not a fight for force in Crete. I believe that enough force has been shown this afternoon. If the Governor of Venetian on Crete is sensible, he should have already arrived at the port to welcome him. Moreover, too many battles on the trade route are not a good thing.
