"Your Majesty, we are almost to the farthest place my father has ever reached!" Romon said excitedly.
After ten years, Yi Xiaoge, Luo Meng and others lasted nearly a year, and finally reached the very edge of the nautical chart along the route of Ferdinand's life, and a new unknown area was about to be revealed.
"When your father was caught in a superstorm here, he almost died. Now that we are here again, the sun is shining, and sure enough, life is always unclear. Yi Xiaoge said with emotion.
Yi Xiaoge has invested too much in time and economy for this voyage, and what that nautical chart can bring him will now be the time to reveal the mystery. Probably when Riel sold him this drawing, he never imagined that he would one day be able to open the secret of this nautical chart.
Tweeted!
A few high-pitched dolphin calls pulled the crowd back.
"Tell Your Majesty! A hundred nautical miles ahead to discover an unknown land! ”
"Haha! Got it! We've found it! Romon wept with emotion, what could be more joyful than having his father's wish come true?
The next morning, the three Courage class ships finally arrived on the land where the dolphins had been found, with a coastline of lush coastal bushes as far as the eye could see. As the ship got closer and closer, a large pier appeared in Yi Xiaoge's telescope. A large number of small boats are speeding off the coast, a prosperous scene.
"Ding! You've found Temasek! ”
"Ding! Congratulations on becoming the first player to discover Temasek and earning World Fame +1 and rewarding you with 100,000 coins! ”
Temasek? Yi Xiaoge immediately opened the web to search for Temasek, and a series of messages quickly popped up, it turned out that Temasek was the name of ancient Singapore.
"So I'm on the Strait of Malacca?" Yi Xiaoge was surprised, so you can see the Ming Dynasty further east?
A series of question marks made Yi Xiaoge even forget the huge amount of money rewarded by the system, this discovery was simply too exciting. Three Courage-class expedition ships were soon spotted on the dock, and for a time countless people gathered on the shore, and even the cruising boats stopped.
The courage class got closer and closer, but that pier didn't seem to be able to dock a huge ship like the courage class that was almost 100 meters away, so Yi Xiaoge had to order the ship to stop offshore. By the time Luo Meng and the others gathered on the deck, several small Oriental sand boats had already been sent from the direction of the dock. It seemed that he should have come to pick them up ashore, and Yi Xiaoge couldn't help but experience the treatment of foreign guests.
Soon Yi Xiaoge and the others went down the rope ladder to the boat, and a middle-aged Asian in a silk robe bowed slightly to Yi Xiaoge, who was obviously the leader, and said, "Welcome navigators from afar!" I'm the Six Bays Patrol of Temasek, I don't know where you're from? ”
"We're coming from the west, passing through here, hoping to get some food and fresh water."
"The West? Is it on the other side of the sea? What a brave hero, we will meet everything you need! ”
Soon, under the guidance of the patrol, Yi Xiaoge set foot on the eastern land for the first time, and he was able to experience the mood of Columbus and other sailing bigwigs back then.
Six bays is a coastal port, and Temasek is also a large island with an area of 700 square kilometers, which is about the size of Singapore.
"Then again, Singapore is also an island nation."
Yi Xiaoge looked at the mountains and rivers of Liuwan with emotion, this seems to be an important port on the shipping route, and he is considering whether it is necessary to invest here. He had taken two million gold coins with him before he left, and now he might be able to come in handy.
Over the course of two days, Yi Xiaoge and Qin Feiyan brought 20 groups of cows, goats and other products to Temasek's Central City for trading, and were warmly received by Temasek King. At the same time, he negotiated with Temasek King to invest 200,000 gold coins in Six Bays and became a guest of honor of Temasek.
For Temasek, which was still in the period of overland trade, 200,000 gold coins was worth two years of trade tax in Six Bays. As a result, Temasek King immediately decided that all local specialties purchased by Yi Xiaoge would be discounted by 20%, and Yi Xiaoge would also enjoy exclusive berths and priority procurement rights after the expansion of Liuwan.
After Yi Xiaoge did this, he felt a little more at ease, and the new route would definitely be opened in the future, and when the time came, he would have priority to obtain the port privileges, and it would be much easier to do other things.
Romon has been charting and documenting Temasek's situation, which will be extremely important in future voyages, an experience that his father has given him.
After a week's delay in Temasek, I bought a batch of Merlion souvenirs and a special spice: curry! This thing is an authentic Indian curry, and Yi Xiaoge feels that bringing it back must be another trend.
Under the farewell of the Liuwan Islanders, Yi Xiaoge set sail and continued to the East, if the map of the Super Island Lord Dongfang refers to reality, then they should soon arrive at the Huaxia territory, thinking about it, it is really a little exciting, at this time Huaxia should still be in the Ming Dynasty.
It was another long three-month voyage, and one morning the call of the dolphins woke everyone up, and Yi Xiaoge got up and stood on the deck to look. The boundless coastline in the distance slowly appeared in front of you, and countless oriental ships, sand boats, and building ships began to appear on the sea. Hung with typical Chinese canvases, some of them have a very deep draft and slowly move towards the north, and some of them float aimlessly on the sea like pleasure boats.
"It's finally here! I don't know which port it is! ”
Romon was equally excited, having almost reached the pinnacle of sailing, going further than his father.
The arrival of three new ships quickly attracted attention, and a group of eight large buildings over 60 meters long and with the Daming dragon flag greeted them with great speed, each carrying forty solid guns.
Soon, a flagship approached Yi Xiaoge's ship, and the two sides were only twenty meters apart.
Yi Xiaoge saw a burly sergeant wearing full-body armor and bronzed skin walking out. This was the first time Yi Xiaoge saw Huaxia NPCs, and a sense of intimacy arose.
The sergeant was stunned when he saw Yi Xiaoge, probably because he didn't expect that there was a Chinese person among the foreigners on the boat, so he said to Yi Xiaoge: "Under Li Yue!" Guangdong Navy Division Coast Patrol Pipeline, I don't know where Your Excellency came from, what is the so-called thing? ”
In ancient China, the name of the navy has always been chosen with wooden characters or without such as Chen and Cheng. Yi Xiaoge also clasped his fist at Li Yue and said: "In Xia Yi Xiaoer, it is the steward of these three ships, we have traveled all the way from the west to your land, hoping to enter the port to supply trade, I don't know if it is allowed?" ”
