With more and more Europeans arriving in Penglai City, the harbor outside Penglai City is also becoming more and more large and prosperous, the port and wharf built with cement are very strong and spacious, no matter how big the ships can be directly berthed and docked, which greatly facilitates the ships coming and going to Penglai City.

In the huge harbor, many merchant ships were moored, and each merchant ship flew the flags of various countries, such as the Westerners, the French, the Portuguese, the British, and the Dutch...... And all of a sudden, there are a lot of big ships flying the Ming Dragon Flag.

Several large Spanish ships sailed towards Penglai City from the sea in the distance.

Columbus, the governor of Spain and America, stood on the deck with Colster, looking at the bustling port in front of him.

"It's only been a few months, and it's incredible that the Ming people have built this port so huge and prosperous."

Colster couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the huge port.

The speed of the Ming people is really very fast, they have a thing called cement, it is very convenient to build houses, roads, and ports, in just a few months, this Penglai City has become more than twice as large, and the harbor has built a huge port.

"It's really incredible~"

"I heard that there are already tens of thousands of Ming people in this Penglai City?"

It didn't take long for Columbus to re-arrive in the Americas, this was his first time in Penglai City, and this time he was also invited by Tian Erniu, the American director of the Ming Tianjin Ocean Trade Company, to come to Penglai City as a guest.

"Yes, there are already tens of thousands of Ming people."

"And on the west coast of the Americas, it is said that there are more than 100,000 Ming people, and they have established hundreds of colonies, large and small, along the entire west coast."

Coles nodded and said: "There are a lot of people in Daming, it is said that here in Daming itself, their population is more than 10,000, and there are millions of people in Tianjin City alone. ”

"It's a huge, incredible country."

Columbus couldn't help but sigh, and then sighed and said: "It may be extremely disadvantageous for us to compete for the Americas with such a powerful empire. ”

"It's really very disadvantageous."

"Not long ago, I received a letter from the Ming Dynasty, in which Geert described his experience in the Ming Dynasty in detail, saying that the Ming were very large, very rich and powerful, and they even conquered the Mongols with the whip of God."

"And the artillery of the Ming people is indeed extremely powerful, not long ago the Viking pirates wanted to sack this Penglai City, but their ships were all sunk before they could get close to Penglai City, and the living people were hanged on the cliff."

Colster pointed to a bare cliff outside Penglai City, where there were many poles and many skeletons hanging from them.

Columbus looked at the place, and his eyebrows twitched slightly.

Hanging pirates, this is a European tradition, I didn't expect the Ming people to learn from it.

"There are too many people coming to the Americas now, which seriously affects our interests in Spain, if we can exclusively trade with the Ming people, then we can make a lot of money."

Columbus turned in the direction of Penglai City, saw the many flags hanging in the port, and said helplessly.

I came into contact with the Ming people in the Americas, and after the news spread in Europe, everyone flocked over.

In the past, the Spaniards and Portugal were the most concerned about the new continent of America, and the French, British, and Dutch were not very concerned.

Now it's different, they are also quickly moving towards the Americas, and a large number of merchants and pirates are coming to the Americas to trade with the Ming people.

It is not known whether there is gold and silver in the Americas, but doing business with the Ming people and selling Ming porcelain, silk, spices, etc. to Europe is also real money.

What's more, Tian Erniu's attack on the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire, they also know now, and they know that there is a lot of gold in the Americas.

The Ming people built many colonies on the west coast of the Golden Continent and discovered a lot of gold and silver mines, which stimulated Europeans to flock to it.

When there are more people, the competition is fierce.

In addition, the Europeans of this period, as long as it is a ship, they all have the heart to be pirates, but if they think they can beat you, they dare to rob.

Within a short period of time, the Spanish colonies in the Americas were attacked by pirates, and several ships were looted by pirates.

All this seriously violated the interests of the Spaniards.

In their opinion, they were the first to arrive in the Americas, and they were the first to meet the Ming people, they should enjoy the right to trade with the Ming, and other countries want to obtain the goods of the Ming, so the Spaniards must make a profit.

But who will bird the Spaniards?

"It's difficult, first of all, the Ming people will not only do business with us alone, as sellers, of course, they want to have more buyers, the competition is fierce, their goods can be sold at a higher price."

"Secondly, we can't stop people from other countries from coming to the Golden Continent, unless we can block the entire Golden Bay, but I heard that the Portuguese Cabral is going south along the East Bay, trying to bypass here and reach the West Coast, or even go directly to the Ming Dynasty, and then trade with the Ming people."

"So even if we blockade the Golden Bay, there is no way to stop the trade between other countries and the Ming people, and we want to monopolize the trade with the Ming people, unless we can win the Ming people."

"But I think it's better for us not to have such thoughts, the Ming people are not easy to mess with, they have a lot of people on the Golden Continent, and they have powerful artillery, it is said that they also have a large number of ships on the west coast, they are mobilizing ships to the east coast, I am afraid that we will worry about whether they will use force against us."

Colster knew this very clearly, he learned the words of the Ming Dynasty, also learned the characters of the Ming Dynasty, read the books of the Ming Dynasty, and knew that the Ming Dynasty was powerful and terrifying.

"I know, so I have always asked us Spaniards to maintain friendly relations with the Ming and not to anger the Ming people."

Columbus nodded and said.

Ships are getting closer and closer to the port, and the huge port is very busy, and here in the docks, a large number of Native Americans are loading and unloading goods.

A large number of forts were built near the harbor, and the cannons showed their hideous faces, warning all the robbers with bad intentions.

A bright yellow dragon flag flutters on the high lighthouse, declaring the ownership of the land.

"What a beautiful city!"

Columbus couldn't help but admire.

The use of a large amount of cement makes everything here in Penglai City very beautiful.

The wharves of the port are neatly built, the wide open space is very clean, the cement road winds into the city of Penglai, and even the city walls are plastered with lime.

The buildings in Penglai City are very tall, and the glass windows reflect the dazzling sunlight on each building.

Compared to Penglai City, not to mention the colonies they built here in the Americas, even if it is a big city in Europe, it looks very ugly in comparison.

"It's a beautiful city indeed."

Colster also nodded in agreement.

The ship slowly moored at a wharf in the port, and soon there were Ming people who came to collect berthing fees and tariffs, according to the laws and regulations formulated by Penglai City, all ships who came to Penglai City had to pay a berthing fee and tariff.

In the past few months, the collection of these two fees alone has amounted to more than 100,000 taels of silver, and there are too many ships coming here.

Europeans are like crazy people running to the Americas, to Penglai City.

Because there were so many people coming, the goods here were almost bought up by these European merchants.

Columbus and Colster got off the boat and walked on the hard, clean concrete road, and they couldn't help but stomp their feet, cement is amazing.

They bought some cement from the Ming people, this kind of magical thing, as long as it is mixed with water, sand and gravel, it will be extremely hard after a day or two, and it is very convenient and practical to build roads, houses, docks, etc.

A large number of Europeans gathered here in the port, and the Ming people did not allow all Europeans to enter Penglai City, and the only people who could enter Penglai City were their captains, first mates, or nobles and the like.

So in the open space of the port, a large number of Europeans gathered, and these Europeans gathered together like refugees, making a big noise.

For those who have been on the sea for a long time, when they get ashore, they want to have a drink in the tavern, and it is better to be able to find the cheap women again.

But when they arrived in Penglai City, the Ming people did not allow them to enter Penglai City, which made many people very dissatisfied, and some even began to make trouble.

It's just that the Ming people seem to have been prepared for a long time, and a group of Ming troops wearing armor, armed with muskets, and swords at their waists are always vigilant against them, and if someone makes too much trouble, they will shoot without hesitation, which makes these crew members have to stay outside honestly.

Some people have already learned the power of Ming guns, bows and arrows, and swords, compared with these well-trained and well-equipped Ming people, these people are rookies, and they are not opponents at all, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of Ming people in Penglai City, do you dare to make trouble?

Believe it or not, the Ming people have killed you all?

If you can't enter the city, you can't enter the city, but they still haven't figured it out, why would the Ming people not allow them to enter the city?

Even if they promised to be honest and not cause trouble, but the Ming people just didn't allow them to enter the city, even if you have a lot of gold and silver coins in your hand, they seem to dislike you very much, and think these people are dirty and smelly.
