Chapter 1258

The weather in the old port was fine and the sea breeze was blowing gently. Several seabirds looked for food on the sea. From time to time, they plunged down, and then flew up with their food. They were very proud.

Two merchant ships appeared in the open sea and came straight towards the wharf.

More than a dozen men with big beards and deep noses drilled out of the cabin and looked out at the port in the distance.

"Many people!"

As the dock drew closer, these men saw that the dock was full of people, as if they were working.

"The old port is expanding the wharf, but Daming has not opened a business road. Who did they expand it for?"

"Eh! There is a Ming Man's warship!"

"Be careful, Ming's fleet should be nearby."

Thinking of the huge fleet, these men looked frightened and envious.

Although Ottoman was still recovering, the Arab world felt the pressure brought by the giant's re emergence.

At the beginning of Yongle, the invincible Ottoman Empire was defeated by the Timur Empire, the monarch was captured, and he never recovered.

But now the big guy is getting up again, and all the countries around him are trembling.

"Timur, Osman, Daming, what do you think?"

Asked a man.

"Timur is very powerful, but if Osman recovers, they should be the most powerful with their ferocity. As for Daming... Their aggression is too bad and conservative to become the master of the world."

"Well, that's right."

At this time, a small boat approached the port, and the people on board shouted, "stop the ship for inspection!"

"Why? Not before."

The people on board were puzzled.

The man on the boat shouted, "this is a new rule. You must check the goods before entering the port, otherwise you are not allowed to dock."

There were also people on board with knives and guns. It was obvious that if they were not obedient, they would use force.

So these Tianfang people had to take them to the warehouse for inspection.

When the ship finally docked, I saw that those busy were all natives and businessmen with dignified faces.

What does Daming want?

In the past, Daming would not be so overbearing, let alone enslave the local people.

"Abdullah, welcome to the old port. I haven't met pirates all the way? What about the storm? I'm very glad to see you come to the old port alive..."

A greasy voice came, and one of the businessmen on board said, "Lord Zhong, I'm fine. I can go this route with my eyes closed."

A businessman disembarked. His beard looked messy and his robe was full of wrinkles. He laughed and went to the man on the dock. A bear hugged him and said, "Zhong pin, you are still so glib. Lord Shi should have replaced you long ago."

Zhong pin tried to break away from his hug, frowned and said, "how long haven't you taken a bath?"

Abdullah said helplessly, "can I go to the sea to take a bath? Well, my friend, let's trade."

Zhong pin took the goods list and frowned: "they are all Ivory rhinoceros horns. Let me see what else... Red silk embroidery, stamen cloth... Jewelry, ambergris..."

"Is that enough? I think these goods are enough for Mr. Shi to pay tribute to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and then exchange them for countless possessions."

Zhong pin said with a smile, "there will be a tribute this year, but... I dare not expect much reward."

"Why?"

"Because there are big people in the old port, you'd better be calm, or no one can save you, okay? No one can, including our adults."

"Big man? How old?"

"This is not the question you should ask as a businessman. Do you see those sergeants nearby? If you ask again, you don't have to go back. Your figure will be busy on the wharf every day, and I dare not send you some delicious food. Do you understand what I'm talking about?"

Abdullah said solemnly, "I see. Thank you, my friend."

"Eh! There are our people over there!"

At this time, an accompanying man pointed to the pile driver on the other side of the wharf and exclaimed.

Abdullah looked sideways and saw that two heavenly men were clumsily waving sledgehammers to pile, and they were very diligent and didn't mean to be lazy.

"My friend, why?"

Abdullah asked angrily. His followers were all angry. It seems that if there were not the Ming army nearby, they would certainly rescue their compatriots.

Zhong pin sighed, took Abdullah to the side and whispered, "these people are rebels, understand?"

"What did they resist?" Abdullah did not understand.

Zhong pin said helplessly, "some people think your penetration is too strong, but this is not heaven, but the old port of Daming."

"And then?"

Abdullah asked puzzled.

"Then there's discrimination, okay? There won't be any more good days. You can live honestly. Dishonest people have to suffer. But some people are unwilling, so most of them find new jobs and build docks."

As for where a few people have gone, Abdullah doesn't have to ask. It's mostly gray.

Then they quarreled for a long time over the price of the transaction. After it was finally settled, someone went to unload the goods.

"Our adults are not here. At present, the whole old port is a little nervous. The goods and money you want will be delivered tomorrow. Believe my old friend, the old port will not default."

"Well, I have no choice, right?"

The next day, when Abdullah went out, he found that everyone had gone to the port.

"Here comes the big man. Let's go and have a look."

When he arrived at the wharf and saw the huge fleet slowly approaching the wharf, Abdullah said solemnly: "this is an invincible fleet. Timur doesn't have it, and Osman can't compete. If this fleet goes there, it's terrible."

"But no matter how powerful the fleet is, it has to be conquered with steps, so this is an assumption, an assumption without possibility."

"What a big boat!"

"Yes, this fleet has been to our side. It's really big. How big is Daming

More than a dozen small boats landed, and the sergeants rushed ashore to seize the alert position. Then, the big man came out.

"Yes, your highness!"

After a burst of shouting, Abdullah closed his eyes and murmured, "the prince of Daming is coming. This is not a good sign."

"Yes, it seems that Daming is paying more and more attention here. If they let businessmen go to sea again, Abdullah, our jobs will be lost."

"Daming wins!"

At this time, the crowd in front was cheering. One of Abdullah's entourage squeezed back from the front and whispered, "Abdullah, the prince of the Ming people has come! And he has just led a fleet to fight Java. Yes, Java, as a country, no longer exists."

"My God! Java, that powerful country no longer exists?"

"Yes, Abdullah was easily defeated by the crown prince of Ming Dynasty."

"This Daming makes people... Abdullah, I'm afraid!"

Abdullah looked at the Ming army without blinking.

"Yes, I'm afraid too..."
