Chapter 1455 Planning of the route

Zeng Yunfeng was extremely calm when cheering for many sailors. He knew very well that this was just a small victory in a short period of time, and this victory would not have much impact.

For the pirates, they just went through a very short difficult period, and this difficult period will intensify in the future as the colonial rule of various countries accelerates.

This difficult period will continue to prolong. If the pirate does not solve his current actual difficulties and limitations, he will never be able to get out of this predicament.

Zeng Yunfeng is very clear that in the next two to three centuries, with the advent of the age of great navigation, as the whole world explores more and more marine resources and unknown areas, people will turn their attention from their homeland to overseas. There will be more and more territorial attention, which will naturally increase the dependence of various countries on overseas colonies.

Maritime trade routes will not allow pirates and these flies to bite on it, neither the Royal Navy nor Portugal and men will allow pirates to exist.

Zeng Yunfeng can see that the navies of various countries will inevitably have huge conflicts with pirates in the future, and exterminating pirates will also be a consistent policy.

But what Zeng Yunfeng hopes is that there will be a powerful organization to stand up and pinch the pirates together to fight against various countries and governments.

So far, one thing can be seen from this operation, the East India Combined Fleet of various countries is a loose alliance like these pirates, each with its own rights and interests, and it is impossible for them to truly completely knead together.

Whether it is Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands or Britain and France, there will be related contradictions between them.

Zeng Yunfeng is more aware that Russia and France will join in the future, whether it is Catherine II or Napoleon in the future, they will have broader desires and needs for overseas territories.

So they will continue to fight and conflicts will always remain, and this period of time will last for a long time, which also happens to be the golden age of pirate development.

One thing that pirates have to take into account is that people's growing trade demand is a very big driving force, which is almost irresistible.

If pirates are still like mosquitos and rats on trade routes, they will definitely be eliminated.

On the contrary, they turn their heads to support maritime trade, and get a share of it, but they can intervene in it and gain some right to speak.

Zeng Yunfeng didn't want to push the pirate guild alliance to the opposite sides of various countries. This would be extremely detrimental to the development of pirates, and it was completely contrary to Zeng Yunfeng's vision.

What Zeng Yunfeng hopes to control is the Caribbean Sea and various routes to the Central Plains Sea, and then expand his power through these trade routes. What the pirates control should be a gray area that all organizations can recognize.

At any time, at any time, whether a person's words have influence or not depends on the strength of the forces behind him and the deployment of resources.

At present, as long as the trade routes can be controlled, it means a change in the pirate guild's right to speak. Nowadays, the reason why pirates are rejected by various countries and even face suppression from the East India Company of various countries is that there is a very huge factor, that is, pirates are interfering or even Contradict the trade of various countries.

But Zeng Yunfeng didn't intend to do this. Instead, he wanted to turn around to support the trade routes, and even control part of the trade routes.

Zeng Yunfeng only intends to maintain the stability of certain trade routes, but this idea is also very difficult, and the resistance to implementation is also very high.

Because whether it is the British Royal Navy or other countries, they will not allow pirates to get involved. On the other hand, it is also because the current strength of pirates is simply not enough to confront the strength of the navies of various countries or the East India Company. .

Even under Zeng Yunfeng's vision, the pirates could control some of the routes, but they would still walk around the downtown area like a child holding a gold ingot, which is undoubtedly very dangerous.

Fortunately, after this battle, a keynote was established, that is, British conservative forces in the Caribbean, such as Governor Swann and people like Norrington, would be Zeng Yunfeng's potential allies.

This is of great benefit to stabilizing the situation in the Caribbean Sea. Zeng Yunfeng can support their forces. On the other hand, it can attack the forces of Spain, Portugal and other countries, and it can also allow Zeng Yunfeng's pirate forces to develop as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would only rely on Zeng Yunfeng's few Ships are completely unable to control trade routes.

Today's South America has almost been divided by Spain and Portugal. Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, and Brazil are basically controlled by Spain and Portugal.

Zeng Yunfeng had no violent conflicts with the British colonists in the Caribbean, but Beckett wanted to do something drastic when he arrived in Port Royal, but he failed in the end.

The Spanish and Portuguese also sat back and watched him fail, because no one wanted to see the hand of the British throughout South America, and the main sphere of influence of the British is still concentrated on the east coast of North America.

Zeng Yunfeng is also facing a huge problem now, that is, these people and supporters in a colony come from their own land and the slaves they bought.

And if Zeng Yunfeng wants to win a region like Panama, he must have a corresponding population as support. No matter what you do in this world, population is a huge guarantee.

Without the support of corresponding people, no matter what Zeng Yunfeng wants to do, he will be at a loss. For example, the difference in the quantity and quality of combat power faced in the war just now is mostly due to the influence of the population base, and the population influence can hardly be ignored.

It's not that Zeng Yunfeng didn't want to fight with these joint fleets of the East India Company, but they really didn't have such strength. Even Mrs. Qing couldn't let those pirates who relocated, yes, they were pirates who relocated.

Even if Mrs. Qing's subordinates were drifting at sea, it was impossible for Mrs. Qing to mobilize them from the Central Plains waters to the Caribbean Sea or even other sea areas to live and fight for a long time.

But if the population migrated in other ways, it would be completely different.

The Central Plains sea area attaches little importance to sea power. One of the important reasons is the concept and thinking of resettlement and relocation. More people don't want to run too far, and hope that they can return to their roots after death, which of course brings A lot of questions.

If it weren't for the war or the corresponding political factors, these people would never go overseas. After all, the Central Plains is vast and rich in resources, and there is absolutely no need for them to go to these remote overseas villages or even barbarian places to make a living.

We must know that population migration is a high-risk move now, especially in the current era of generally low medical care, an ocean voyage often brings a lot of disease and death.

People join this oceanic migration only when they are desperate.
