"Ayutthaya?"

"Can it also be compared with Tianjin in the Ming Dynasty?"

Godala, the king of the east of Sulu, thought to himself.

The Siamese people have indeed drifted a little over the years, but compared with the Ming Dynasty, Siam is definitely more than a star and a half behind.

"The Ming Dynasty has changed too much now, expanding in the Nanyang region, and I heard that I have found a vast continent to the east, called the Golden Continent, and I don't know if this is good or nostalgic for our Nanyang countries."

"If the Ming Dynasty continues to expand in the Nanyang region, the entire Nanyang countries together will not be the opponent of the Ming Dynasty."

Godara's heart was full of worries.

The Ming Dynasty's expansion ambitions in the South Seas were undoubtedly exposed, the previous Ming Dynasty only came to the South Seas to promote national prestige, but now the Ming Dynasty wants to turn the South Seas into its own overseas territory, which is an essential difference.

This is also the reason why so many countries will come to pay tribute this time, everyone is paying tribute, and the real purpose is to find out the future strategy of the Ming Dynasty, whether they will invade them.

The fleet continued to move towards Tianjin Port, and gradually a piece of land appeared between the sea and the sky, and then gradually expanded, and finally slowly occupied the entire field of vision.

Because it was approaching the end of the year, the cold winter was coming, and the cold wind was cold, but because Tianjin was close in front of them, the people of the mission also ran to the deck one by one excitedly and looked in the direction of Tianjin.

"It's too cold here in Tianjin~"

"According to the words of the Ming people, we are living on a huge ball, the further north it goes, the colder it is, our Nanyang area does not change all year round, very warm, but here in Tianjin, the winter is very cold."

"I don't know if it's going to snow, I haven't seen snow in my life?"

"It's definitely going to snow, and I haven't seen it yet."

"That's Tianjin, what's that high? There's a light on it. ”

"I heard that it was called a lighthouse, and it was used to guide ships to anchor as a port."

On the deck, people from various countries in the South Seas began to discuss.

The cold weather here is very fresh to them, and people in the tropics, they have never even seen snow.

"There are so many boats~"

Godala also looked in the direction of Tianjin.

The closer to Tianjin, the more ships on the surrounding sea, all kinds of fishing boats, whaling ships, merchant ships, etc., the number is very large, and the whole Tianjin Port has become extremely busy before arriving at Tianjin Port.

"That's a whaling ship, right?"

"Whales next to you?"

"What a big fish, I heard that this whale is equivalent to thousands of cows and hundreds of pigs, I heard from the Ming merchant that this whale can nourish yin and yang."

"There are so many boats, so big~"

On the deck, everyone was talking, looking at the ships on the surrounding sea, they all looked very curious, especially for whaling ships and whales, many people heard the merchants of Daming say things about whales.

At this moment, I saw the big whales dragged by the whaling ship, and I was also shocked by the huge size of the whales.

In the field of vision, Tianjin is gradually becoming clearer and clearer.

The entire Tianjin Port is slowly presented in front of you.

Tianjin Port is very huge, the wharves are arranged neatly, the ships in and out are very orderly, the wharves are very busy, a large number of workers are constantly loading and unloading, and four-wheeled carriages are constantly coming and going.

In the vicinity of Tianjin Port, high-rise buildings stand on the ground, glass windows reflect dazzling light in the sunlight, and each community is neatly planned.

You can clearly see the wide roads leading straight to the end of the field of vision, the road is densely populated, the traffic is busy, the four-wheeled carriages are very numerous, full of goods come and go, very busy.

Farther afield, huge chimneys stand on the ground, billowing smoke rises from them, dotting the industrial zone.

"This is Tianjin?"

Looking at the huge city in front of him, Godara was dumbfounded.

Although I had heard a lot of legends about Tianjin before I came, I tried my best to imagine how prosperous and huge this city would be.

But when he saw the huge and prosperous city in front of him, Godara's mind was blank, and he really couldn't find any words to describe its vastness and prosperity.

As far as the eye can see, the entire coastline is lined with high-rise buildings, and everywhere is a busy scene.

One high-rise building, any one of them is taller than the tallest building in Sulu, and more importantly, the Ming people actually used a large number of glass windows very luxuriously.

Compared to the city of Tianjin in front of them, the port of Sulu, the largest port in Sulu country, looks like a small fishing village. 52

The wharf of Tianjin Port is very large.

Each wharf can berth a lot of large ships at the same time, and next to the wharf is also a wide open space built with cement, which is full of all kinds of goods, including a mountain of fish goods, and goods transported back from all over the Ming Dynasty and overseas.

The big ships are huge, and compared with the ships of the Ming Dynasty, the ships of the countries of the South Seas are like toys.

"This is Tianjin?"

"Sure enough, it is the largest port in Daming, it is really prosperous!"

"The building here is too high, isn't it?"

"There are so many people, so many cars and horses~"

"And this straight road, and the tall smoking chimneys in the distance......"

Not only the Eastern King Godara, but also the envoys of other countries were also dumbfounded at this time, and the Tianjin City in front of them was beyond their imagination of the big city.

Tianjin New Town has no city walls, so the scale is unprecedentedly huge, and everything is planned in an orderly manner in advance, which makes the whole Tianjin city completely different from any city of this era.

Open, majestic, bustling and lively......

A magnificent atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty came to their faces, making these people stunned and dumbfounded.

The ship slowly docked, and a hustle and bustle immediately rushed in.

The entire huge Tianjin Port is extremely busy, and the wharves have been classified, including commercial wharves, cargo wharves, and fishery wharves, and each area is very busy.

Whenever there are ships arriving at the port, there will inevitably be a large number of people flocking over, there are merchants of the sea fish line to buy all kinds of sought-after fish goods, the New Year is coming soon, the consumption capacity of the Beijing and Tianjin areas is also rising, not afraid of the price, just afraid that you have no goods in your hands, the best fish goods are very sought-after.

Merchants from trading houses are rushing to buy all kinds of goods arriving in Daming from overseas, such as pearls, jadeite, coral, jade, agarwood, ivory, rhino horn, etc., which are all hot goods.

"There are so many people, and they are so busy~"

Godala stood on the deck and looked at the port of Tianjin in front of him, it was too busy and there were too many people.

Sulu Port is a relatively large port in the South Seas, but compared with the Tianjin Port in front of you, there is no comparison at all, there are too many ships here, at a glance, the wharf is full of neatly arranged ships.

"We are clear that Nanyang people are coming~"

"We are clear that Nanyang people are coming~"

This is, on the dock, I don't know who shouted, and suddenly the entire dock people rushed over, looking at the 'Red Coral' one by one, looking at Godara and them.

Everyone has curiosity, not to mention that in this era, there are only a few people who can go overseas, so whenever a foreigner comes, it will inevitably cause a wave of onlookers.

"These are Nanyang people~"

"They're so dark~"

"Well, it's still very short~"

"How is it that their clothes are the same as a piece of cloth, won't they cut them and not get tired of wrapping them in a piece of cloth?"

In the port, many Ming people came over, looking at Godala and these Nanyang people, they couldn't help but point and discuss.

"There are so many people in the Ming Dynasty~"

"But isn't it, I heard that there are 60 million people in the Ming Dynasty, and the sum of our entire Nanyang countries is less than a fraction of the Ming Dynasty."

"The Ming people are really white ~ they are also very tall"

"Their clothes are so gorgeous and so beautiful."

On the 'Red Coral', the envoys of the South Seas countries also looked at the Ming people in the port carefully, and couldn't help but discuss with each other.

Godara looked at the port in front of him, looked at the dense crowd on the dock, and then looked at the tall buildings not far away, and the whole person couldn't help but take a deep breath.

This is the Ming Dynasty, this is the port of Tianjin, and it is really not comparable to the Sulu country.

The ship was anchored steadily, and some had already come to Tianjin to wait, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites who received the news hurriedly came.

More than 30 delegations from more than 30 countries in Nanyang came to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, plus the Korean mission and the Japanese mission that arrived a few days ago, it can be said that this is definitely the most glorious moment of the Ming Dynasty in recent decades.

The imperial court also attaches great importance to this matter, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites are also busy entertaining these foreign dignitaries.

Under the arrangement of the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, Godala and the other Nanyang missions also lived in the post house on the Tianjin side, rested in Tianjin for two days, and then arranged to go to the capital to meet the great tomorrow together.

There are too many missions coming at once, and the great tomorrow doesn't have time to meet them one by one, so they can only arrange and meet together.
