The huge fleet led by Du Mingen appeared in the Nanyang region, which brought a huge shock to the countries in the entire Nanyang region.

Countless people are recalling the grand occasion when the Three Treasure Eunuchs went to the West, and recalling the strength and wealth of the Ming Dynasty.

This time, unlike in the past, Manila in Luzon was seized by the Ming Dynasty, and all the princes and nobles of Luzon were killed.

This has also caused the entire countries in the South Seas region to feel the crisis.

In the past, although the Ming Dynasty was strong and rich, it gave everyone the feeling that it was a humble gentleman, although it was strong, but it would not bring any pressure to people, and everyone had always been very friendly.

And as long as you go to Daming to pay tribute, Daming will return several times, giving people the feeling that Daming is very wealthy and extremely face-saving, so that everyone likes Daming very much, and also yearns for Daming.

But now, with the attack on Luzon, Manila was included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Nanyang countries really realized the power and horror of the Ming Dynasty.

Just a fleet, a few thousand Ming troops can easily destroy the Luzon State, and it is said that the Ming Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of troops, and everyone who knows the news can't help but be amazed.

For the first time, they felt Daming's fangs.

However, soon, as the fleets of major trading houses began to do business in the South Seas, bringing a large number of high-quality goods of the Ming Dynasty, everyone quickly forgot about these things.

Silk, porcelain, tea, cloth, ironware, salt, sugar, glass, and so on of the Ming Dynasty began to sell well throughout the Nanyang region.

Traditional goods such as silk, tea, and porcelain are still very popular, but the emergence of new glass products has caused a new trend in the Nanyang region.

Dressing should use a glass mirror from the Ming Dynasty, and the kind of full-length mirror must be able to appear to have status, status, and wealth, and the kind of palm-sized glass mirror is only suitable for ordinary families.

Dressers with large mirrors have also become a favorite of ladies in the Nanyang area, without which you are embarrassed to invite friends to your home.

Mirrors are expensive, but that still doesn't stop everyone from loving them, and the mirrors carried by the comptoir were snapped up in a very short time.

When it came to the back, it was difficult to find a mirror, so much so that someone opened a matter of asking for a mirror.

There is no way, the Nanyang region is greatly influenced by the culture of Arabia and Tianzhu, and they all like to show off, from the princes and nobles, to the ordinary people who hate to show off all their wealth.

If you don't have such a thing as a mirror, you will be looked down upon and very shameless.

In addition to mirrors, glass tea sets, glass tableware, glass lamps, glass ornaments, etc. are also bestsellers.

The many merchant ships that followed Du Mingen south soon dispersed in various parts of the South Seas, and everywhere they went, thousands of people were empty, and the goods they carried were almost sold out.

Many merchant ships only went one or two places, and all the goods were already sold, in exchange for a box, a box of gold and silver, and a ship full of Nanyang specialties, so that they had to return to Crescent Bay in advance, and then return to Daming.

Only Du Mingen led the fleet of the Tianjin Ocean Trading Company to continue westward, through the Strait of Malacca into the Indian Ocean, towards Tianzhu and Sri Lanka.

……

Daming Tianjin.

Liu Jin has just returned to Daming, and there is no time for today, and his son has not had time to communicate and communicate well, and the little guy still doesn't recognize Liu Jin.

But I had to come to Tianjin again.

It is now May of the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, and it has entered the summer, and the whole Tianjin Port has become even busier.

Especially in the past few days, many fleets heading to the Golden Continent have begun to prepare to set off one after another.

At present, there is only one way to go to the Golden Continent, which is to start from Tianjin, pass through the North Korean Muma Island, and then arrive at the Wa Kingdom, and continue north, crossing the Bailing Strait to reach the Golden Continent.

The advantage of this route is that there is land along the way, and you can stop on land at any time to replenish fresh water.

But the disadvantages of this route are also very obvious, the first is that its range is relatively long, far less than the direct crossing of the Pacific Ocean and the Hawaii route.

And this route also has a fatal point, that is, it can only travel in summer, and in winter, especially when this period is already the early Xiaoice period.

The winter is very cold, the sea surface here in the Bailing Strait will freeze, and there will be a large amount of ice floe to the south, the existence of ice floe poses an extremely serious threat to the fleet, and it is impossible to sail in winter, unless you want to die.

But there is no way, this voyage is the only route that has been developed now, as long as you depart for the Golden Continent in the spring and summer, and arrive at the Golden Continent through the white-collar strait at the hottest time.

You can then head south directly along the west coast of the Golden Continent, and there is basically no danger.

Now is the time for the fleet to depart, and the entire port of Tianjin has become extremely busy.

This time, there were too many fleets going to the Golden Continent, large and small trading houses and fleets, adding up to hundreds of large ships, and tens of thousands of people went to the Golden Continent.

They have only one purpose, and that is gold! Let's pick up the book

Du Mingen brought back gold and silver worth 30 million taels of silver last year, which also made the entire Ming Dynasty become fanatical.

No one can remain calm in the face of such a huge amount of wealth, not even Emperor Hongji.

At this time, every big ship in the port of Tianjin, behind it was involved in the entire Ming Dynasty, from the imperial court to the locality, from the military generals to the scholars, from the gentry to the princes surnamed Zhu in various places, and even some ordinary people had shares in it.

Here in Tianjin, there are many colleges that graduated from Tianjin Maritime College, they have a certain amount of capital and navigation technology, but their own funds are not enough, what should I do?

There is no need for people to teach at all, and private financing in later generations has risen in Tianjin and Beijing, and the people who invest in them are basically some ordinary people.

One person may not be able to invest much silver, but he can't support the number of people, and he can organize a ship to go to the Golden Continent.

The gold everywhere in the Golden Continent, as long as you can get to the Golden Continent, a random ship will also bring back a wealth worth millions of taels of silver, which is enough for countless people to take out their own silver and invest in it.

Hundreds of large ships are about to depart for the Golden Continent, and tens of thousands of people are going to the Golden Continent.

The whole of Tianjin became extremely noisy.

In Tianjin's large and small restaurants, tea houses, restaurants, and Qinglou Chu Pavilions, you can see wealthy businessmen from all over the Ming Dynasty inviting guests, inviting the crew to eat and be chic, which is almost indispensable.

With such a huge investment on it, these crew members are uncles, and if they are not satisfied, this investment is very likely to be wasted.

The crew members who are about to go to sea are also busy, relatives and friends have to greet them, and it will take at least more than a year to come back.

The journey is far away, the sea is very dangerous, no one knows if they can meet again, this is naturally to have wine today and get drunk today, drink well, and chat.

In the temple here in Tianjin, the incense has become extremely prosperous.

The families of the crew members who are about to go to sea also come here to offer incense, praying that their families will have smooth sailing and a safe return.

The whole of Tianjin became extremely noisy because of these fleets that were about to depart.

All the business in Tianjin has become very good.

Even grain merchants who sell grain suddenly find that they don't have enough grain to sell.

Tens of thousands of people go to sea, and it will take at least more than a year to go there, and the amount of food they carry is very huge.

Hundreds of big ships and such a huge investment have driven the development of the whole Tianjin, making the whole Tianjin like a crazy machine, turning wildly.

Silver, a great deal of silver was sprinkled from above.

From the major trading houses, factories, and workshops, to ordinary people, everyone found that their business was very everywhere, and as long as they made something, they would be immediately emptied of people.

The traffic is full and the river is endless......

"Tsk, what a big change~"

In a box on the highest floor of Tianjin Wanghai Tower, Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin overlook the lively Tianjin Port District.

Busy, lively, busy.

In the distance, high-rise buildings are under construction, neighborhoods are dotted, busy construction sites, and newly built straight and spacious cement roads leading into the distance.

In the distance, you can see patches of factory areas, the high chimneys of the cement factory and the billowing black smoke, the shipyard, the big ships are slowly being launched, and the roar of the machines in the weaving factory......

This made Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but sigh.

It's hard to imagine that just a few years ago, it was a barren place, a place where no one wanted it, and everything seemed to spring up like mushrooms after a rain.

"Yes, it's a big change, and there's a feeling of being out of the world."

Liu Jin couldn't help but nodded.

Looking at this scene in front of him, Liu Jin reminded him of the movies he had seen in later generations, the old Shanghai movies he had seen, and the ten-mile foreign field was nothing more than that.

It's just that now it appears in the Ming Dynasty and here in Tianjin, which has a completely different meaning.

"Knock~Knock~"

Just when the two sighed, there was a knock on the door outside the box, Liu Jin hurriedly opened the door very obediently, and soon Sun Xin walked in with Tian Erniu and Zhao Monkey.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince~"

As soon as the three of them came in, they hurriedly saluted Zhu Houzhao.
