Xinzhou, as the home port of Zheng's sailors in Nanyang in the future, will have a very long construction process, and it will not be completed in a year and a half.

Not to mention that the Cheng clan took the whole of Temasek from the King of Johor and had to move a large number of immigrants here.

Whether it is engineering construction or future life, Zheng Zhilong does not want to see any Nanyang atmosphere here.

Fundamentally cut off the invasion of indigenous people here, and for this reason, to transport batches of domestic laborers to New South Wales, although the price is not small, but it is completely recognized by Zheng Zhilong.

After more than half a year, tens of thousands of workers have gathered here, and a large number of them are going to leave NSW after the construction period, but not all of them can be as lucky as Wang De.

Although the new state is not as big as a county in the interior, there is only a small amount of arable land, in the western part of the island, which has been named the southern tip of the Straits of Johor. With an area of about 10,000 acres, only a very small village can be established.

But from the very beginning, NSW was not related to agriculture. Military port + port + trade, this is its core.

This is the core area of the Zheng family's deep penetration into the South Seas, and it will also be the place where a large number of Eastern and Western merchants exchanged and traded in the following decades. And that place in Tainan will be more of a very ordinary and ordinary seaport in the future.

This is to prevent unexpected changes in Chinese mainland, which he believes best cut off the vast majority of Europeans from China.

After the land of Shenzhou has a new look, when he himself has a million land and water army, it will not be too late to open the country.

Whoever asked the Dutch to be embarrassed, Zheng Zhilong's original plan was to put the trade point in Dayuan or the coastal area of Fujian Province, but the sea coachman did not give face, so Zheng Zhilong had to go further.

When Boris Johnson and his party arrived in the waters of NSW, the presumptuous smile on their faces was first retracted. The two double-deck sail warships fluttered the Zheng flag, and gave them a dismount first.

The ship's lowered dinghy went straight to the head of the big Galen, and two men in black uniforms ascended the soft ladder to the deck, and announced to Boris Johnson in a very serious and unreachable Latin that their ships must first anchor in the Cisse Islands and report to the Shipping Division on the central island.

That is, to give a specific account of the number of weapons and personnel on the merchant ships of his party, as well as the goods loaded, including gold and silver coins, the shipping department is to inspect. If it does not correspond to the truth, they will be severely punished.

This is also done in preparation for the next step in the collection of taxes, if they are willing to trade in NSW.

And if they are not ready to trade in NSW, they will only need to pay a small berthing fee to stay in the Cisse Islands for ten days.

The Cisse archipelago is made up of seven small islands, like a 'wood' in front of the Port of Sinzhou (later Jurong Port). All ships sailing from Malacca to NSW will need to stop in the Cisse Islands as long as they want to settle in NSW in the future.

The military port of NSW is located on the eastern island of Dongsai, which is a simple and crude name, which is later known as Sentosa Island. It is now a place that cannot be approached by merchant ships. Johnson: They had to enter the Cisse Islands first.

There was also everything a merchant ship needed, from water and food to fresh fruit, medicine, wine, wood, canvas, etc.

"Can we go to Port of New State?" Boris Johnson asked modestly.

"Absolutely. However, it must be reported to the Shipping Division and approved before it can be. When the time comes, you can take a boat to NSW on Centre Island with your permit and spend the night at NSW Port. There was a smile on the face of the black uniform, which all men know.

There's no fun on Centre Island, but North Harbour of NSW is a man's paradise. It contains mature, charming, beautiful, and elegant, Japanese, Korean, Nanyang, Tianzhu, Tianfang, and North African and Europa women, including China.

But it was clear that Johnson was not concerned with the pleasure of the lower half of his body, and he skillfully handed a small bag of silver coins to the black uniform, and then asked about silk, porcelain, sugar, rhubarb, etc., which he cared about.

If he could, he would not be willing to ship back to the country such things as dried green ginger, dried ginger, cloves, sumac, silk, porcelain, raw silk, which was Johnson's goal.

The black uniform turned out to be a money bag, and he smiled very brightly. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a newspaper, a very simple tabloid.

"Everything you want to know, here's everything. Silk, porcelain, sugar, raw silk, cloth, ironware, medicines, luxury ornaments, etc., are all here. ”

"But I don't recognize this font." Johnson was a little annoyed, and what he saw looked like a newspaper at first glance, but the font on it was all Chinese.

"Then go to the Tongwenguan to find a translator." The black uniform continued to walk back without looking back.

A piece of Yinyang can buy fifty portions of things, and in this way, he exchanged for at least ten pieces of Yinyang, just to share the profits with others, and that is also a big profit. He hoped that such a good life could continue like this, but unfortunately this was destined to be just his extravagant hope.

Johnson and his party continued on, and in a short time they saw a lighthouse erected, and then sailed into the moorage under the guidance of a small guide boat.

The moorage is not a wharf, but there are many ships, large and small, about 30 of them.

He also saw several small boats with the Zheng family's Panlong Yunhai flag moored beside the ship, and he even saw the swarthy cannon glowing with iron blue on the turret in his hand not far away.

The so-called Cissé Islands are small islands arranged in seven two-two-three columns, very small and very small islands. The proximity to each other reminded him of the Seven Islands of Mumbai, and the Seven Islands of Mumbai.

In fact, in later generations, these seven small islands were reclaimed by Li Jiapo, forming an artificial island covering an area of dozens of square kilometers.

The forts on the island were standing, and although they were large and small, Johnson felt that if he broke in with the fleet behind him, he would probably only be able to reach the front of the central island, and he would be beaten into a sieve by cannonballs fired from all directions.

And he also found that the gun emplacements on the Chinese batteries were not open-air, but semi-closed. It was difficult for him to see the gunner who was operating the gun, except for the dark muzzle.

Such a turret has more protection than an open-air turret.

A glimpse of the whole leopard, from the current Cisse Islands, you can understand how strong the protection of the Zheng family is in the whole New State.

According to the instructions, he honestly went to the ship division to file a report, and then without waiting for him to go to the Tongwen Museum to look for a translator, he saw Mr. Chen's message on a message wall. It says let me go to the New South Kong Port Demao Commercial Bank to handle the transaction. The address is 215 Second Avenue in District A.

And when Boris Johnson arrived at NSW with seven or eight entourage, he realized that he did not pay enough attention to NSW.

The port in front of him is far from being completed, and only the North Port can be used, but it is the North Port that has been put into use, and the prosperous scene makes him think only of Mumbai.

It is true that Mumbai is a very important port in the Tianzhu area, but the current Xinzhou Port, which has just been opened for less than two months, is not simple. How many years? The nobles of the Nanyang countries, and even the common people, have never satisfied the needs of all kinds of goods in China, and now their passion has completely exploded, is it not the blink of an eye that makes Xinzhou not inferior to Bombay?

From silk and porcelain, to sugar, cloth, and all kinds of ironware, to lacquerware, gold and silverware, wine, rhubarb, tea, and even paper, pen and ink, and books.

There is everything in the Xinzhou market, can it make the nobles of the Nanyang countries ecstatic?

And the common people don't need silk and porcelain, nor do they need gold, silverware, wine, etc., but what about cloth? What about sugars? What about ironware?

Since the Tang and Song dynasties, the ironware of eastern Guangdong has been sold overseas, not only in the South Seas, but also in Tianzhu and Tianfang.

From the original luxury goods for the aristocracy to the later bulk items, the excitement of NSW North Port did not only make Boris Johnson rush to the excitement, but Batavia also had a deep sense of crisis.

At the port wharf, there are trestle bridges leaning out, and each trestle wharf is full of all kinds of sailboats.

Some are Galen ships, and some are ships of the natives of the South Seas, and the dense masts are connected together. And the docks are even more lively. There were crowds of people dressed in different clothes, but they were all busy.

Laborers in vests quickly but methodically transfer all kinds of goods. Heavy cranes, which are also rare in European ports, are like a swarm of industrious bees, not having a moment to spare, but everything seems to be in order.

There were also the railcars on the piers and docks, and Johnson had seen for the first time several horses pulling a large interlocking flatbed cart with a load of goods, and it was reasonable that one cart could pull two horses. But the six large flatbed carts in front of him were easily dragged away by two horses.

There was no filth and garbage on the docks, nor were there hordes of vagabonds and ruffians on the docks.

You can only see groups of Chinese in brightly colored vests nervously busy on the docks.

Johnson could easily tell from the color of the vest that they were each duty.

The yellow vest is labor, the red vest is the picket, the green vest is the garbage cleaner, and there are also large buckets painted green on the dock with two words written on it, although Johnson does not recognize it, he can guess that it is garbage.

The people in the black vests were the policemen, just like the black uniforms before, they carried short clubs in their hands, short swords and short swords around their waists, and some of them also wore a kind of armor made of grass and rattan.

At the same time, there were also groups of soldiers patrolling the docks, with shortages on their waists and muskets on their shoulders, echoing the batteries not far from the docks, and if there was an accident, they would easily suppress all the chaos.

Johnson stepped off the boat and looked at the port of NSW in front of him, and he was extremely shocked by everything here. He had been to many of the famous ports on the European continent, and he had been to the American continent, but comparing them to the ports of New South Wales - somehow, he always had a feeling in his heart that New States was better, and the former were too old.

Is it because of the cleanliness of the Port of NSW?
