Chapter 15: Legends Move to Reality, Mythical Seris
After passing through the Cape of Good Hope, the next road was undoubtedly much smoother, first entering North Africa.
There used to be a brilliant civilization here, but thousands of years later, civilization has been destroyed again and again.
However, the completely different style of civilization still felt the joy of Zheng He's fleet.
And the whole of North Africa also felt the shock of Zheng He's huge fleet.
It's almost like a god.
After passing through North Africa, the fleet entered the Mediterranean.
At this moment, the ship has stepped into the territory of Europa.
Compared with the storms in the Atlantic Ocean and the Western Ocean, the storms and waves in the Mediterranean are undoubtedly much smaller, and the ships are almost stable all the way.
The Port of Naples, also known as the Port of Napoli, is one of the main seaports in Italy. Founded in the 6th century BC, it was once a summer resort for Roman emperors.
Even if time flies, the glory of Rome is long gone, but the entire port of Naples is still extremely prosperous.
When the ship splits the waves and appears in the harbor.
The entire port of Naples couldn't help but be instantly alarmed.
"Look, what's that!"
"My God, there's a castle on the sea coming this way!"
"Oh my God, that's a big ship!"
The crowd that was originally busy in the port couldn't help but let out a cry of exclamation at this moment.
At this moment, they looked at the huge ships in the ocean in a daze, and they were completely stunned.
Such a huge sea ship, even in a dream, had never seen it, but at this moment, it appeared directly in front of them.
And in the midst of their shaking, the ship quickly sailed into the harbor.
When the huge sea ship appeared at zero distance, at this moment, countless figures on the harbor were directly prostrate on the ground at this moment.
"My lord, this is the coming of the Lord!"
"Lord, have you heard my prayers?"
Figures are sitting and praying, and the object is a sea ship.
And at this moment, on the sea boat, looking at the figure of Qi Shushu kneeling on the ground, Zheng He and the others didn't care too much.
Zheng He's gaze looked at a brown-skinned figure next to him.
"Tell them that we are envoys from the Ming Dynasty, and we are going to face the officials here."
Zheng He's words were calm, and he couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at the dilapidated port.
This port is no less than Guangzhou and Quanzhou Port in the Ming Dynasty in front of him, but the development here is even inferior to a fishing village in the Ming Dynasty.
He couldn't help but be a little suspicious of the equivalent of silk and gold here.
As for the brown-skinned figure in front of him, it was a prince that the fleet met in Egypt, he was proficient in the Europa language, and his language talent was extremely high, so Zheng He took it directly.
"Yes!"
"Lord Angel!"
Chessier spoke in a somewhat stiff Chinese, and his heart couldn't help but be surging at the moment.
He never imagined that he would have such an opportunity.
He was thrilled to actually be able to meet the legendary Seris, and to be able to serve the Serisians.
After receiving Zheng He's order, his figure quickly got off the ship and headed towards the port.
At this time, dozens of soldiers in the port were already rushing over.
"Tell your chief, this is an angel from Seris, and ask him to come and greet him!"
Chessier's voice rang out with arrogance.
Some words are only high.
Seris, that is the legendary kingdom of heaven, the messenger of the kingdom of heaven came, and as a messenger to convey the word, he is naturally much more noble than these people.
"Seris?"
Listening to Checill's words, the soldiers and the creeping figures around them couldn't help but be stunned, and then couldn't help but shake violently.
"You, you said this is a Seris?"
There were soldiers with incredulous openings.
"Go quickly, let your chief come over, you are not qualified!"
Chessier spoke impatiently.
And listening to Chessier's words, and looking at this sea ship like a castle on the sea, no matter how much he didn't believe it, there were still soldiers who quickly reported it.
The soldier went to report.
But the whole port suddenly fried again.
"Seris!"
"Oh my God, this is Seris!"
"It's really Seris!"
One after another exclamations arose, and the impact on them at this moment was undoubtedly greater.
Unlike Europa in China, in Europa, at least until modern times, Huaxia was almost a legendary existence.
No, maybe it shouldn't be a legend, but a myth, or even a gods.
The long distance, coupled with the gorgeous silk porcelain, makes the whole of China a legendary kingdom of God in the eyes of Europe.
In the 8th century B.C., Homer's epic poems recorded that from the threshold to the inner room, a soft Kira was placed on a chair. In the 5th century B.C., the famous ancient Greek historian Herodotus recorded in "History" that Oriental culture is the cradle of all culture and all wisdom.
For thousands of years, all kinds of legends have been pervasive.
Let Seris add layers of mystery to Huaxia.
Eventually, in the book called Marco Polo's Travels, the myth of Seris undoubtedly reaches a new level.
Regardless of the controversy of later generations about whether Marco Polo ever came to China, at least in this era, no one doubted Marco Polo.
In this case, this person's travelogue has naturally become a specimen of the whole of Europe's perception of China.
Even in the subsequent Age of Discovery, why did Columbus and others sail to find the New World? The real reason for this was that the Ottoman Empire blocked the Silk Road for overland trade, so the real purpose of these navigators was to find the Maritime Silk Road for trade in China. As a result, the route was wrong, and they discovered the Americas, Africa, and Oceania.
Until the beginning of the Age of Discovery, the decline of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this kind of cognition was not completely torn apart.
Even before the Opium War, the Sun Never Sets Empire was considering the possibility of its own defeat, and there was no way to have too strong inherent concepts.
And now the myth has come to life.
The impact of this is unimaginable to nature.
Especially looking at this huge sailing ship like a castle on the sea, the impact is naturally even greater.
"Cyris really is heaven!"
Someone muttered to themselves, and the figure became more and more religious.
On the treasure ship, looking at the figures that were still crawling on the ground, a famous Ming person couldn't help but point, and laughter was pervasive.
At this moment, they are no longer unusual, they have such a huge fleet, all the way over, no matter what kind of country they meet, what kind of people, they are so prostrate.
There was no way, their fleet was so large that it was enough to wipe out any known country along the way, not even the hometown of the legendary Buddha, Tianzhu couldn't resist it.
