Chapter 14 Changing History, Entering Europa

A series of orders were issued quickly, further urging the reform of Ming Dynasty society.

Three months later.

A new batch of supplies was loaded on the big ship and began to continue towards Nanyang.

In the past three months, subsequent grains were gradually transported back to the Ming Dynasty. The amount was even more than Zheng He's expected 50 shi, reaching 60 shi.

With such a huge amount of food, Zhu Di and Xia Yuanji almost didn't know how to react.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Tang Jing.

Carrying a large amount of supplies, his ship finally arrived at the Strait of Malacca after a month's journey.

Now that the Strait of Malacca is located, Zheng He has already begun preparations to continue his journey.

When Tang Jing returned, he left behind fifty ships and three thousand Ming soldiers, and then he continued to set off with the rest of the fleet.

Heading towards the west.

This time was different from any previous time, and everyone couldn't help but have expectations in their hearts.

Nanyang has achieved such a great harvest, so what about Xiyang, there is also the legendary Europa.

At this moment, everyone in the fleet could not help but feel a sense of longing.

Obviously, there is nothing wrong with this vision.

When their figures crossed the Strait of Malacca and stepped into the Western Ocean, the shock here was not even lower than that of the Southern Ocean.

Zheng He's fleet first arrived in Sri Lanka, and then arrived at the southern port of Tianzhu.

Like the Strait of Malacca, they leased this prosperous port for a hundred years with only a few sets of exquisite porcelain.

Half a year later, Zheng He's fleet entered Africa.

What they learned here completely overturned their previous understanding of this place.

"You mean to exchange this with us?"

Zhu Zhen stared blankly at the sapphire that was almost the size of a pebble in his hand, and then at the chipped dagger in his other hand, with an expression of some reaction.

There's no other way, but the gibberish black figure in front of him actually offered to exchange this piece of sapphire for his dagger that was almost scrapped, which made it hard for him to imagine.

"Jili, Jili!"

Looking at Zhu Zhen's dazed expression, the black man seemed to have misunderstood it, and hurriedly gestured, and at the same time began to grope around his body, and soon took out a gemstone that was one size smaller.

Seeing the reappearing gemstone, Zhu Zhen suddenly reacted.

Then he nodded and completed the transaction.

At this moment, such a scene happened to almost the entire Zheng He fleet.

Abandoned ironware and broken weapons can almost be exchanged for gems, gold, jewelry, and even people of incalculable value here.

That's right, people.

Some tribes found that they did not have enough valuable items, and even tied some young men and women to trade.

Zheng He's fleet couldn't help being surprised.

However, after being surprised, Zheng He directly agreed to the deal.

Human trafficking was prohibited in the Ming Dynasty, but this was overseas, and Zhu Di gave him full authority to act.

These young men are strong enough to help Zheng He's fleet do a lot of chores.

The agreement of Zheng He's fleet undoubtedly made these tribes in Africa even more excited.

A large number of young adults were kidnapped and sent over.

In the end, Zheng He's fleet was supposed to stay for half a month, but had to leave early.

After all, we still need to save supplies to go to Europa.

On the treasure ship in the port.

Zheng He and the others looked at the distant port and the ships returning with a large amount of jewels, and they couldn't help being filled with emotion.

"Master Zheng, I have been to the Western Ocean several times, but I was wrong. The wealth here is so rich."

Tang Jing couldn't help but speak with emotion, his expression also filled with unprecedented excitement.

"That's right, the food from the South Seas and the wealth from the West are enough to provide my Ming dynasty with prosperity!"

Zhu Zhen also spoke.

If Jiang Chen's simple plan did not make them feel deeply, the acquisition of a large amount of food in Nanyang and now the acquisition of a large amount of wealth made them feel the horror of this strategy.

No one is a fool, both of them are aware of the importance of Nanyang and Xiyang.

"Our knowledge is still a bit superficial, not as good as His Majesty and that gentleman."

Zheng He also expressed emotion.

He has gone to the Western Ocean several times, but he never thought that in the Southern Ocean, in the Western Ocean, Daming could obtain such a huge wealth.

This is simply not comparable to what he had before.

What he brought back before might be able to help Zhu Di in several northern expeditions, but that's all.

And what he brought back this time was enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in the lives of the people in the entire Ming Dynasty.

This was something he could not have imagined before.

And this also made him look forward to the European continent even more.

That is the most important thing that Mr. said, and it is also the magical place where silk porcelain is equivalent to gold in the legend.

It was also a distant place that he never reached in his voyages to the west.

The ship continued to sail and soon arrived at the Cape of Good Hope.

"Everyone, be careful, the next step is the Land of Storms, we have to go through there to reach Europa!"

Arriving at the Cape of Good Hope, Zheng He suddenly became solemn.

Zheng He naturally knew a thing or two about the Cape of Good Hope.

This is the westernmost place of the entire Western Ocean. The previous few voyages to the Western Ocean have not passed through because of the storms and rough waves here, thinking that this is the end of the world.

To reach Europa at this moment, you must pass through here.

Zheng He also had to become solemn.

One order after another was issued.

And Zheng He's fleet also sailed into the Cape of Good Hope, and the Cape of Storms entered again to show his power.

There are still more than 100 sea-going ships left in Zheng He's fleet at the moment. The moment they stepped in, two sea-going ships sank directly, and even a treasure ship.

Fortunately, the ship was stable, and after the storm gradually subsided, it still passed through the Cape of the Storm smoothly.

In the end, the loss was not large, only one treasure ship, three large ships, and twenty small ships were lost.

Compared to the huge fleet, it is just the tip of the iceberg.

"This is really not the end!"

Muttering to himself, Zheng He looked at the vast sea in front of him and couldn't help murmuring.

The excitement of the whole person is even more difficult to control.

Because after passing through the storm at this moment, he really saw a new world, just like what was shown on the map.

That's not the end of the world.

On the deck, countless people cheered.

Excitement spread over the sea ships.

The huge storm, even those who have been traveling at sea all year round, suppressed it.

At this moment, it is like seeing a rainbow after the storm.

"Full speed ahead, North!"

A smile appeared and Zheng He quickly issued the order.

The fleet then started heading north.

History has completely changed as Zheng He stepped across the Cape of Good Hope.
