More than two days later, at the Manila port, two Spanish soldiers carrying muskets swaggered past the port. Along the way, they saw Chinese workers in rags carrying goods from ships diligently under the monitoring of local aborigines. The two soldiers burst into laughter one after another.
"Shit, these West Indian monkeys can only do a good job. Without these yellow monkeys from the Ming Dynasty, we may not be able to easily build Manila. Selgi, it seems that there are more and more cargo ships from America recently."
After laughing, a soldier glanced at the many ships moored in the port and looked thoughtful. The largest of those ships is the galleon, with a length of 50-60 meters and a displacement of 500-600 tons. It is the most important troop and cargo carrier for Spain across the oceans in this era.
Of course, there are many other small ships besides Galen.
Since 1571, nine years ago, liges led troops to Manila and built castles, forts and docks nearby, it has become a new colony of Spain.
In the past few years, coolies in the construction of various buildings are certainly not Spanish soldiers or businessmen. They are all Aboriginal and Nanyang Chinese arrested from nearby places.
What makes all the colonists in Spain speechless is that the local aborigines, those black and thin monkeys, really can't do anything. They don't walk and regress, are lazy and have all kinds of bad habits. Those guys are no better than those in Africa.
Only Chinese caught from all over Nanyang can be regarded as civilized people. They are familiar with and master all kinds of production and life skills. As long as they stutter, they can do almost anything, and they have strong learning ability.
Governor lighes likes to use Chinese Americans most. However, for the sake of ruling level, lighes mixed many local aborigines in managing Chinese workers.
Obviously, this is to set people of two different races against each other.
It is true that those local aborigines who are lazy and can do nothing are extremely jealous and greedy of the hard-working and kind Chinese workers who can create all kinds of wealth with their hands. In just a few years, the Spanish colonists themselves do not have much hatred with the robbed Chinese workers, but the two different races are completely opposed.
With the soldier, the soldier called Sergi also sighed helplessly, "Those damn Englishmen are becoming more and more rampant in the Atlantic. The Empire should crack down on those pirates and let them know that the majesty of the empire can't be provoked. Jose, you say these Ming people are so easy to use. Why don't you go to the Ming country and open up a new colony, and we don't have to often look for Ming people in the West Indian islands."
Spain colonized the world. The most famous gold and silver ship actually has a route that has been taking the Atlantic Ocean. It is close to home from China and the United States and from the Atlantic Ocean.
However, with the rise of Britain, the Navy and pirates continue to rob Spanish gold carriers. In recent years, it is the reason why treasure fleets often change to Manila and Suez Canal.
In this case, the number of fleets gathered and docked in Manila for rest is gradually increasing, and Manila's status is also improving.
Unlike Britain's colonization of America, the main force going to America is the domestic poor and the bottom of society. The prisoners who go to colonize Australia are basically prisoners. Portugal and Spain colonize the world. They are often Royal fleets summoned by the king and sent out.
During this period, under the leadership of Philip II, Spain was the most prosperous era of military strength. The victory of wars led to the Habsburg dynasty almost to dominate Europe. Spain's military morale was also a small peak from top to bottom.
No one in Spain now knows that the British, who can only be regarded as pirates in their eyes, will completely defeat Spain's invincible fleet in eight years and become a new power.
Under Sergi's words, Jose said with a smile, "I also heard that there was a paradise for silk and porcelain and tea in the Ming country, but why didn't you occupy the Ming country? How could I know? I only know that those traitors in Portugal tried to attack the Ming country decades ago and were severely taught."
Portugal is separated from Spain. Even though it has been hundreds of years, in this era of great navigation, as one of Spain's biggest competitors, Spain is also hostile and despised there.
Just as the two soldiers strolled and chatted, Jose suddenly stood up and stared at the northern sea. Under his gaze, at the end of the sea, there was a snow-white ship, like a sea palace, rushing to the port at an incredible speed.
In this era, the Galen ship of Spain across the oceans was four or five knots, but the snow-white sea palace in Jose's eyes was at least several times that of Galen ship.
When the ship really rushed into the port at a thunderous speed, its huge and gorgeous appearance shocked everyone even more.
Not to mention Jose, Sergi and all the people who are going in and out of the port and working at the wharf are stunned and at a loss.
When the ship arrives at the side of a Galen, make a positive comparison? No matter how the aesthetic difference is between the East and the west, or the Manila natives, you can see at a glance that it is definitely short, poor and handsome standing together.
Snow White ships are not only large, but also almost twice as long and wide as Galen ships. The architectural pattern is the difference between palaces and thatched houses.
When Zhang Shiliang, Tong Jian, Tian Yi, He Zhong and Hai Rui stood above the third deck, he Saicai, who was in a daze on the wharf, gave a frightened scream, "Ming people, Ming people, enemy attack ~"
As a soldier, he was on patrol and alert. He didn't realize that it was an enemy attack until someone's ship entered the port and saw a figure?
It's not that Jose was too stupid. Built in the 1980s and 1990s, the most luxurious and top private yacht suddenly appeared on the sea in 1580. That kind of visual impact is too shocking and exaggerated for the aborigines in this era.
It is definitely beyond the imagination limit of countless people in this era.
In Jose's exclamation, on the third deck of the yacht, Tong Jiancai laughed and opened his arms, "Nanyang, I'm coming!"
Tian Yi, the sunflower eunuch, stared brightly at the Galen ships in the port, "Xianjun, are these the gold and silver ships of hongmaofan? So many
At a glance, there are more than ten Galen ships in the port. Don't underestimate this scale. Thirty years ago, there were only 17 Galen ships in Spain, and there were only more than 50 large ships at the end of the 16th century.
Had it not been for the frequent British sneak attacks on the Atlantic route, it would have been a smaller fleet of ships to and from Manila.
Tong Jian laughed again. "It should be. It's a coincidence that he came early. Maybe he can make a pen this time, ha ha ~"
It is normal for large yachts to sail for thirteen or four seasons, which is equivalent to thirteen or four nautical miles an hour. They can also run around day and night, while Hainan is only five or six hundred nautical miles from Manila.
