    After untold hardships, Hawkins finally led the entire fleet to the small Spanish ind——Hispani. Anothermon name is Haiti and the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean Inds of North America.


    Of course, Little Spain Ind is not its official name, it was named by the Spaniards—Santo Domingo.


    It''s just that Hispani is bordered by Haiti to the west and the Dominican Republic to the east.


    Haiti was originally inhabited by the Arawak Indian tribe. When Hispani Ind was discovered, there were about 1 million Indians living on the ind, mainly Taino people, and a little Sivone lived in the northwest of the ind. people.


    At that time, there were already five native Indian regimes on the ind. They lived inrge densely popted viges, captured birds, fish, rodents, and cultivated thend. The Indians of Hispani used stone axes to cultivate and cultivated with wooden shovels. Their main food was cassava and sweet potatoes.


    In 1492, during the first voyage of the great navigator Columbus, because his gship ran aground and could not bring the crew of the other two ships back to Spain, the Navidade Castle was established near today''s Cap Haitien.


    When Columbus returned here in 1493, he found that no one in the fort survived.


    He then established the Isabe Colony on the north coast of Hispani, and the colonization of the ind began.


    In 1502, Hispani officially became a Spanish colony, and the military resistance of the Indians on the ind was crushed. In the 16th century, the Spaniards had established 15 cities on the ind.


    In addition, the Spanish officers and soldiers all got thend on the ind and turned the Indians living on thesends into ves for mining gold, growing sugar cane and raising cattle.


    Due to the impact of smallpox, the Arawaks disappeared on the ind in 1544, so the western part of Haiti Ind was abandoned by the Spaniards. It became a stronghold for immigrants and fishermen from other countries, and also became a paradise for pirates and smugglers.


    The ck ve trade has always been monopolized by the Spaniards, so Hawkins'' pedestrians, in a sense, are smugglers.


    So, he was in the early morning, around five o''clock, and there was a thin mist in the sky, making it difficult to see clearly.


    However, Hawkins still took his three boats and quietly parked on a simple pier. There were already several boats docked near the berth, but they were all small boats.


    Seeing these small boats, Hawkins frowned. Although he had enough personnel, these boats were not a big problem.


    Afterwards, the fog gradually dispersed, and the entire small pier was clearly presented in front of his eyes.


    Five middle-aged men in clothes and leather shoes waited anxiously. Dozens of guards followed them, and they also followed their masters, looking anxious.


    Looking carefully, he knew the bald man in the middle, this is the ntation owner he metst time through his rtionship, and he introduced the other four ntation owners.


    His arrival was obviously also seen by these ntation owners, and their faces were overjoyed.


    "Oh! Dear Mr. Hawkins, I have been waiting so hard for you!"


    When John Hawkins got off the boat, the bald man greeted him and gave him a big hug.


    This made Hawkins, who has a reserved character unique to Ennd, a little unustomed, but for the sake of gold coins, he had to endure it.


    "Hello, Mr. Francois, and gentlemen!" Hawkins gave a gentleman''s salute after leaving his arms, and then pointed to the three ships behind him and said:


    "The **** you want has arrived!"


    Immediately, Hawkins pped his palms, and the sailors who had already prepared on the ship quickly escorted the naked ck ves down one by one.


    Walking at sea for more than a week, these people were locked in a narrow space, and their daily food was nothing more than some leftover and wormy bread of some sailors.


    All of them were so hungry that they were weak all over, their eyes were dull, and they were a little floating when they walked.


    In order to prevent infectious diseases, Hawkins listened to Domingo''s advice, let these ck ves be naked, and washed them with sea water several times vigorously, and then he was relieved.


    The ck ves were strung together with ropes and pulled off the ship by the sailors.


    And Hawkinsmunicated and chatted with these ntation owners.


    The guards brought by the ntation owners opened the mouths of the cks from time to time, as if they were looking at animals, to look at their teeth, pat their arms and thighs, and check their physical condition.


    Some pinched the ck woman''s breasts, looking serious, as if checking the production conditions of women.


    Hawkins was doing this kind of ck ve business for the first time. Seeing this from the corner of his eye, he was still a little ufortable for a while, and felt a little nervous.


    After all, treating humans as livestock is a bit of a challenge to the nerves.


    After getting used to it for a while, Hawkins felt a lot better when he thought about the gold coins he was about to get.


    "Mr. Hawkins, you have a total of one thousand one hundred and sixteen ck ves. I want two hundred males and one hundred females. The male price is five pounds, the females are three pounds, and the children are two pounds. So here Thirteen hundred pounds is yours!"


    "I want one hundred!" "I want three hundred!"…


    After receiving feedback from their subordinates, the five ntation owners quickly bid and brought out boxes of gold coins.


    So, at this moment, more than a thousand ck ves were sold out, and Hawkins made a profit of 3,800 pounds, which was his profit for this month.


    After making an appointment with these nters, Hawkins sailed the empty boat to Santo Domingo, the central city of Little Spain Ind.


    Because Spain and Ennd signed an agreement, the English were allowed to go to Spain and the colonies to do business.


    So, Hawkins bought a lot of ginger, sugar, and tobo with ve money, and prepared to bring them to Ennd for sale.


    In this way, with a full load of harvest, Hawkins and others returned to Ennd.


    On the way back, the wind went smoothly all the way, until they were more than a hundred miles away from Ennd, a merchant ship suddenly appeared in front of them, flying the g of Portugal.


    Hawkins quickly looked through the binocrs, and saw the armed merchant ship with a heavy draft and a size of about 150 tons.


    "It''s such a big fat sheep, I didn''t expect that it will make a lot of money when it''s almost home!"


    Hawkins stared wide-eyed, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and muttered softly.


    "Boss, let''s do this vote! This will make us eat intion!"


    The first officer on the side came over, like him, watching the gradually elerating merchant ship ahead, swallowing his saliva, and kept talking.


    "Okay, it''s done!" Hawkins waved his fist and shouted excitedly, and then there were cheers on the ship.
