In the Indian Ocean, a huge fleet of ships is constantly sailing from east to west.

This fleet is composed of more than 50 large fortune ships and sailing ships, with the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty hanging on it, and on the 'Taishan' at the beginning, Du Mingen, the Marquis of Taiping, as usual, is holding a telescope to look at the sea in front of him, and at the same time silently calculating the position of his fleet.

From the Strait of Malacca in the South Seas all the way to the west, Du Mingen's voyage was exactly the same as the route taken by the Three Treasure Eunuchs to the Western Ocean.

Malacca seafood to Myanmar, then all the way west to the east coast of Tianzhu.

"Calculating the time, it should be possible to arrive in Tianzhu in these two days."

Du Mingen put down the telescope and opened the world map again, which clearly marked the places he had traveled on his voyage.

"The king of Myanmar respects our Ming Dynasty very much, and it is also that Myanmar and our Ming Yunnan are connected and have land contacts."

"The king of Burma has also sent people to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty in the past."

"If we can open up Myanmar's land transportation, we can save a very long road from Yunnan to the Indian Ocean."

"However, I heard that the road from Yunnan to Myanmar is very rugged, and it is more terrifying than the 100,000 mountains from Guangxi to Annam."

Looking at the map, Du Mingen couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Not long ago, I received a grand reception and a warm welcome on the side of Myanmar, and I also asked about some things, Myanmar and Daming Yunnan are not connected, but the exchanges between each other are very difficult.

The Hengduan Mountains are no joke.

"Bell~Bell~"

"There's land ahead, there's land ahead~"

Just as Du Mingen was thinking, the lookout on the mast rang the bell, and at the same time shouted loudly.

When Du Mingen heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and quickly picked up the binoculars and looked at the sea area he was heading to.

A little shadow of land can be seen in the field of vision, and then as the fleet gets closer and closer to the land, the land gradually expands in the field of vision, and finally even without a telescope, you can clearly see a huge land in front of you.

"Such a huge land, it must be Tianzhu."

"Well, it's about the same time as the calculation."

Du Mingen immediately smiled, there are accurate areas, coupled with the most advanced navigation technology, the position of the fleet can be accurately calculated every day.

In the port of Visaka, the only port city in the Bay of Bengal, the southeast Andra Kingdom of Tianzhu, small fishing boats are busy, and at the same time, merchant ships from other kingdoms are quietly anchored here.

At this time, Tianzhu is just a geographical concept, not a national concept.

The entire Tianzhu has not been unified since ancient times, and even the strongest dynasty can only unify the countries in the north of Tianzhu at most, but these countries in the southern plateau have never been unified again.

This is especially true of the entire Tianzhu at this time, there are hundreds of large countries, and the Andra Kingdom is the most powerful kingdom in the southeastern region.

The location of Visaca Port is very good, it is one of the few natural harbors in the Bay of Bengal in East Tianzhu, located in the central area of East Tianzhu, you can go to the countries of the Ganges region, and you can go to Sri Lanka and West Tianzhu countries.

At this time, there was peace in the port of Visa, until someone saw the huge fleet of ships heading towards the port of Visaca on the sea.

"Lord Buddha~"

"So many boats, so big ships~"

Someone saw Du Mingen's fleet, and when they saw the fleet composed of dozens of large ships, they couldn't help but exclaim.

Soon, the news of the arrival of a large fleet of ships also immediately alarmed Bihar, the official of the Kingdom of Visakhane Andra stationed here.

"Lord Buddha~"

"How can there be such a big ship, and there are still more than fifty at one time~"

Bihar was stunned as he looked at the ships heading towards the harbor on the sea.

He had never seen the style of these ships before, and no one on Tianzhu's side could build such a huge ship.

Even the most skilled Persians in shipbuilding could not build such a large number of ships, let alone such a large number of ships.

"Send someone over at once and ask who they are?"

"Come to us Visa, what's the matter."

Bihar sent people to inquire, and at the same time immediately sent people to report to the kingdom of Andra that if the enemy invaded, it might be difficult for Visaca Harbor to stop such a large fleet.

Soon, a few small boats were just leaving the harbor and heading towards the big ship that was coming in a big way.

"Oh~ Great Lord, how can there be such a huge ship here?"

"Lord, these ships are too big, and there are too many of them~" Trade Winds Literature Network

"Very strange ships, they don't look like the ships of the Italians of the Mediterranean, nor like the ships of the A~La~~, but a bit like the ships of the Orientals~"

"Some of the ships are built in a style that resembles the ships of Western Europeans~"

"And the flag hoisted on the ship, why is it so strange, what is like a snake on it, which country is it?"

In the port, not only the people of the Andra Kingdom were very surprised, but there were also many merchants from Arabia and Persia in the port, and everyone's attention suddenly shifted to Du Mingen's fleet.

The people in the port were looking at Du Mingen's ship, and Du Mingen and the others were also looking at the entire Visa Port with binoculars.

It's very small, the port city is very small, the dock where the ships are moored is also very small, the ships moored here are also small, the buildings in the port are not tall, and it looks very messy and has no sense of order.

"This should be Visaca Harbor."

Du Mingen took out a map and carefully compared it.

Every time he arrives, he buys a map from the locals and compares it with his own parts of the world, so that he can know more accurately where and where he wants to sail.

The more he compared, the more he admired Liu Jin, the world map issued by Tianjin Maritime University is very accurate, incredibly accurate, and the maps provided by many locals are not as accurate as the world map in their hands.

"Master Hou, they sent someone over to question, asking us who we are and what is the matter here~"

Soon, the men sent by Bihar came to the side of Du Minen's fleet.

In terms of language, Du Mingen specially found a few monks who could speak Sanskrit and Persian before going to sea, and similarly, every time he arrived in a country, he would ask the country for a few people who knew many Chinese.

So along the way, Du Mingen did not encounter language and communication problems.

"Tell them that we are the Ming Dynasty from the East, and we have come here to do business."

Du Mingen replied without thinking about it.

"Yes~"

The men of his men hurried to reply.

"Finally arrived at Tianzhu, Tianzhu is the place where Shakyamuni was born, the place of origin of my Buddha, to be able to come here once, it is really a blessing for three lives!"

On the 'Huashan', more than a dozen monks wearing robes and holding Zen sticks stood on the deck, looking at the Visaca Harbor in front of them, and the eldest of them, Master Huikong, couldn't help but sigh that the whole person came with a pilgrimage heart.

Master Huikong is a senior monk of Fayuan Temple in Beijing, and he has participated in Buddhism all his life, because considering that the scriptures have been translated by people when they are transmitted to Middle-earth, he is afraid that there are inaccurate translations, and at the same time, he is also to be able to better understand the Buddhist scriptures.

Therefore, Master Huikong also went to the famous Buddhist temples in the Ming Dynasty to learn Sanskrit, and he is very proficient in Sanskrit.

This time, knowing that Du Mingen intended to go to Tianzhu and wanted to find a few people who were proficient in Sanskrit to be translators, Master Huikong himself took the initiative to ask for his life.

Master Huikong, who has devoted his life to Buddhism, hopes to go to Tianzhu in person, learn from the famous masters in history, and pass on more Buddhist scriptures to the East.

In history, Master Faxian of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Master Tan Wuji of the Tang Dynasty, Master Xuanzang, Master Yijing, Master Huichao, and Master Bukong all came to Tianzhu to seek Buddhist scriptures.

During the Song Dynasty, because the Song Dynasty's maritime trade was very developed, there were more mages who followed the fleet to Tianzhu.

As for Da Ming, Master Huikong is the first batch.

"I hope to bring more Buddhist scriptures to my Ming Dynasty and save the world from suffering."

By Master Huikong's side, Master Huiming also folded his hands and said.

"Tianzhu is very big, and I don't know how far away we are from Bodhi Jiaya, where the Buddha preached."

Master Huikong's apprentice, Kong Wen, looked at the map and said.

"The Buddha Lord Shakyamuni is the prince of the Kapila Kingdom, and when you arrive in Tianzhu, it is much more convenient to go to Bodhi Jiaya, which is the origin of our Buddha, and there must be a wide range of believers, who can guide us in the direction."

Master Huikong smiled and said very confidently.

Daming came to Tianzhu thousands of miles away, they also suffered a lot along the way, Master Huikong and Master Huiming will be seasick, and they are old, but with firm faith, they have persevered all the way.

Now that they have arrived at Tianzhu, there is nothing to be afraid of on the next road.

The fleet was getting closer to the port, and gradually both sides were able to see each other clearly.

The people in Visaca Harbor finally knew that the huge fleet in front of them was actually from the far east, from that legendary and incomparably rich country - Daming.

"It turned out to be a fleet from Daming~"

"Great Lord, you arranged for them to come here in Visaca, to arrange for them to come to me, so that I could earn my wealth."

"The fleet of the Ming Dynasty, the silk of the Ming Dynasty, the porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, Lord, I am going to get rich, I am going to be rich, as long as these things are sold to the Mediterranean, they can be compared to gold."

Knowing that it was the fleet of the Ming Dynasty, the Persian merchants in the port, the A~~La~~ Bo merchants suddenly couldn't help but bow down to the west excitedly.
