Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 725, the confident Ming people

In the waters of the Bohai Sea, more than [-] large ships formed a mighty fleet and were rushing towards Tianjin Port, just like the eagerness of a wanderer who has been away from home for many years and is about to return home.

On the decks of big ships, the crew members were all looking in the direction of Tianjin Port, looking forward to seeing the tall lighthouse in Tianjin Port again.

On the "Ping An", Gilt stood on the deck, feeling the sea breeze, looking forward to the upcoming Tianjin Port.

Gilt is a Spanish nobleman whose ancestry is considered to be the royal descendant of the Kingdom of Castile in Spain. Along with the great geographical discovery of the Americas, the Spanish royal family was the biggest supporter and beneficiary. He was also sent to the Americas. El Salvador.

Accompanied by the meeting of Karst and Tian Erniu on the east coast of America, these Spaniards were very excited. Knowing that there is a fleet from the Americas that will return to Daming, he is also determined to come to Daming for himself and see this distant land. Eastern country.

So he took a dozen followers and followed the fleet to Daming this time.

"I'm going to the legendary Tianjin soon, so I'm really looking forward to it."

Someone came over from Gilt's side, and this was his deputy Pablo.

"Yes, it's really exciting. Songhu in the south is already so prosperous and huge, so Tianjin must be even more prosperous and lively."

Gilt nodded slightly. He had been in contact with Daming people for a long time, and they had heard all kinds of rumors about Tianjin more than once. According to the description of Daming people, Tianjin is the largest and most prosperous city in the world. , Where the lights are feasting, where the night is bright.

"Pablo, how do you feel about this journey?"

Gilt thought for a while and asked Barbro again.

"I feel a lot~"

"Da Ming's navigation technology is very advanced, and their shipbuilding technology is not inferior to that of our Europeans, or even more advanced."

"They can sail to every place accurately, and accurately calculate their position, arrival time and place. This is very scary, and it is much more advanced than our navigation technology."

"And they use sprouts, dehydrated vegetables, and cans to get fresh fruits and vegetables at sea, which makes their crews rarely get sick."

"It took us more than two months to come to Daming from the Americas. None of their crew members got sick. And vegetables and fruits, it is easy to get sick."

Pablo is a navigator and a captain. This time he came to Daming, and he has been working hard to learn the navigation skills of the Ming people along the way.

He observed very carefully and discovered this very carefully. People of Ming Dynasty like to bring a lot of soybeans, tea leaves, dehydrated vegetables and canned food when they go to sea. These things fully guarantee the daily dietary needs of the crew, so that the crew will not fail. blood disease.

"And they also invented a device that can desalinate seawater into drinkable fresh water. Although this device is simple, it is very practical and has a great effect at critical times."

"In addition, their boats also have trawling devices, which allow the crew to get fresh meat, which also greatly guarantees their voyage in the ocean."

"It's really a magical and powerful country, and it has a lot of navigation technology that we don't have."

Pablo couldn't help sighing, if he took his Spanish ship back to Europe, it would definitely not be so comfortable, but the Ming people's ship is different, it is very comfortable, along the way, there are almost no waves, the vast The Pacific Ocean has always been calm, unlike the Atlantic Ocean, which has many storms.

Gilt nodded slightly. He knew all this, and he had already written it in his diary. Like Marco Polo, he planned to write a travel note of Daming, detailing what he saw and heard in Daming. .

"Mr. Gilt, Mr. Barbro~"

While the two were chatting, Wang Dashan, the captain of the "Ping An", came over. There were more than a dozen Spaniards on board. Wang Dashan also chatted with them a lot along the way, learning each other's language and understanding each other's language. Living customs, etc., are all wandering in the ocean, but they also share a lot of common languages.

"Mr. Wang~"

Seeing Wang Dashan, the two hurriedly smiled and nodded.

"There is still half a day to arrive in Tianjin. It will be almost evening when we arrive in Tianjin. When the time comes, I will be the host. Please go to the Wanghai Tower in Tianjin to have a good meal."

Wang Dashan looked at the sea in the distance, and he was very anxious. After going out for more than a year, he finally came back again.

"Mr. Wang is really too polite."

Gilt said with a quick smile.

After getting along with the people of Daming for a long time, he also gradually got to know some of the characters and tempers of the people of Daming. The people of Daming are more gentle and elegant. Even the crew members who are wandering outside, most of them are very gentle. Everyone looks like Nobles are as well-bred.

If it weren't for seeing the cannons on these big ships, they would even feel that these Ming people are as easy to bully as sheep.

"Haha, you are a visitor from afar. If you have a chance to come to your Spain in the future, you must invite them back."

Wang Dashan said with a smile.

"Of course, if Mr. Wang has the opportunity to go to Spain, we will treat you with the best ham and wine."

Gilt nodded with a smile, another way of humor belonging to Daming people.

"The people of Daming are hospitable and very confident, which is different from any country I have ever been to."

In his heart, Gilt couldn't help but comment again.

"Mr. Wang, what kind of ships are those?"

Pablo looked at the wide sea, and soon noticed that beside the huge fleet, there were some ships greeting the fleet, and the people on board were constantly cheering.

"Those are fishing boats, fishing boats that trawl."

"And that ship should be a whaling ship, specially used for whaling."

Wang Dashan looked at it and immediately said, the fishing and whaling industries in the Bohai Sea are very developed, and now there are many ships of this type, and these ships can often be seen in the Bohai Sea.

"Fisher, whaler?"

When Pablo and Gilt heard this, they immediately became interested and looked carefully.

"This whaling ship is a bit similar to our European whaling ships, but it seems to be much more advanced than ours."

Pablo saw the special features of this whaling ship at a glance, and his eyes lit up immediately. He is a navigator, and he is familiar with all kinds of ships.

"It is indeed more advanced. It should be equipped with a crossbow gun at the bow of the ship. Through this, it can launch a harpoon to shoot whales, so as to kill whales."

Jill nodded.

"Mr. Wang, what are you Daming people mainly using for whaling?"

Gilt thought for a while and asked Wang Dashan.

"The whole body of a whale is full of treasures. The whale meat can be used to eat, the whale skin can be used to make shoes, and the whale oil can be used to light lamps. It has many functions."

Wang Dashan smiled and said that he was a captain of a whaling ship for a period of time, and he is very familiar with this.

"Similar to us in Europe, our whaling is mainly used to do this."

Gilt nodded slightly, and finally found some places where Ming Dynasty was similar to Europe.

Well, in terms of whaling, it seems that there is not much difference.

"Mr. Wang, your Daming is really big. From the Songhu where we stopped all the way to the north, such a huge land belongs to your Daming."

Gilt thought for a while and said to Wang Dashan.

"Haha, of course, our Ming Dynasty is the largest, most powerful, and richest empire in the world."

"It's nothing. Songhu is only located in the middle of our Ming Dynasty. From Songhu to the south, our Ming Dynasty still has a very vast territory."

"I guess your whole Europe is about the same size as our Ming Dynasty."

Speaking of this, Wang Dashan raised his head and said proudly and confidently, in his eyes, your Spain is only as big as my province of Ming Dynasty, and your entire Europe can be compared with my Ming Dynasty.

"As big as all of Europe?"

Gilt and Pablo looked at each other, and there was no doubt in each other's eyes. Along the way, every Daming person is very confident and proud of this.

Their Ming is the largest and most powerful empire.

This is a very confident country!

This is the most intuitive feeling that Gilt and Pablo have for the Ming people. They can clearly feel the confidence of the Ming people. Although they are very warm and polite to them, the arrogance and self-confidence in their bones will always appear from time to time. overflow.

This feeling seems to be their attitude and self-confidence when facing the natives of America and Africa.

In their view, the Spaniards were civilized people from the civilized world, while the natives of America and Africa were ignorant savages.

But getting along with Daming people, they feel that this status seems to have changed.

In the eyes of Ming people, Ming people are civilized people, and these Spaniards are barbarians. Although they are polite and warm to you, the arrogance in their bones always makes them feel very uncomfortable.

Daming people are more confident and proud than them.

The mighty fleet was driving rapidly on the sea, heading towards Tianjin port. At this moment, on another ship, the envoy from the Aztec Kingdom, Silone, and the envoy from the Inca Empire, A Haya was also standing on the deck, looking at the sea to which she was heading, imagining the prosperity and prosperity of the kingdom of the descendants of the sun god in her mind.

　Ming Dynasty people should be very confident, right?
