Chapter 1254 This Daming Is Scary

The weather in Old Port was fine and the sea breeze was blowing. A few seabirds were looking for food on the sea surface, diving down from time to time, and then flying up with food in their mouths, very proud.

Two merchant ships appeared out to sea, and then headed straight for the pier.

More than a dozen bearded men with tall noses and deep eyes got out of the cabin and looked at the distant port.

"so many people!"

As the pier drew closer, these men saw that the pier was densely packed with people, as if they were under construction.

"The old port is expanding the wharf, but Daming has not opened a trade route. Who will use the expansion?"

"Hey! Ariake's warship!"

"Be careful, Mingren's fleet should be nearby."

Thinking of that huge fleet, these men all had expressions of fear and envy at the same time.

Although Osman was still recovering at this time, the Arab world felt the pressure brought by the giant's resurgence.

At the beginning of Yongle, the mighty Ottoman Empire was defeated by the Timurid Empire, the monarch was captured, and never recovered.

But now that big guy is about to get up again, and the surrounding countries are all trembling.

"Tamerlane, Osman, Daming, what do you think?"

a man asked.

"Tamerlane is very powerful, but if Ottoman recovers, they should be the most powerful in terms of their fierceness. As for Daming...their aggressiveness is too low, too conservative, and they are not good enough to become the masters of this world."

"Well, that's right."

At this time, a small boat approached the port, and the people on board shouted: "Stop the boat for inspection!"

"Why? It wasn't there before."

Everyone on board was a little puzzled.

The person on the boat shouted: "This is a new rule. The goods must be inspected before entering the port, otherwise they are not allowed to dock."

There were also people on board armed with knives and guns. Obviously, if they were not obedient, they would use force.

So the Tianfang people had to obediently take these people into the warehouse for inspection these days.

When the ship finally docked, they saw that those who were busy were all natives, and the merchants all looked solemn.

What is Daming trying to do?

The former Ming Dynasty would not be so domineering, let alone enslave the local natives.

"Abdullah, welcome. I haven't encountered any pirates along the way? What about the storm? I'm very pleased to see you come to the Old Port alive..."

A greasy voice came, and one of the merchants on board responded, "Master Zhong, I'm fine. I can walk this route with my eyes closed."

A businessman got off the boat, his beard looked messy, and his robe was full of wrinkles. He laughed and walked towards the man on the pier. After a bear hug, he said: "Zhong Pin, you are still so glib, Mr. Shi should have said You replace it."

Zhong Pin struggled to break away from the hug, frowned and said, "How long has it been since you took a shower?"

Abdullah said helplessly: "Can I still go to the sea to take a bath? Well, my friend, let's make a deal."

Zhong Pin took the list of goods, frowned and said: "It's all ivory and rhino horns, let me see what else... red silk embroidery, pistil cloth... jewelry, ambergris..."

"Is it enough? Presumably these goods are enough for Mr. Shi to pay tribute to the Emperor Daming, and then exchange them for countless property."

Zhong Pin smiled and said: "There will be a tribute this year, but...but I dare not expect too many rewards."

"Why?"

"Because some important people have arrived in the Old Port, you'd better keep quiet, otherwise no one will be able to save you, understand? No one can, including our adults."

"Big man? How old?"

"This is not a question that you, a businessman, should ask. Have you seen those sergeants next to you? If you continue to ask, then you don't have to go back. You can be seen busy on the pier every day, and I don't Dare to send you something delicious, do you understand what I'm talking about?"

Abdullah said solemnly: "I understand, thank you, my friend."

"Hey! There are our people over there!"

At this time, a man accompanying him pointed at the piling man on the other side of the pier and exclaimed.

Abdullah looked sideways,

I saw two Tianfang men clumsily wielding a sledgehammer to drive piles, and they were very diligent and did not mean to be lazy.

"Why, my friend?"

Abdullah asked very angrily. His followers were all angry. It looked like they would have rescued their compatriots if it wasn't for the Ming army on the side.

Zhong Pin sighed and took Abdullah aside, and said in a low voice, "These people are all rebels, understand?"

"What are they resisting?" Abdullah didn't understand at all.

Zhong Pin said helplessly: "Some people think that your infiltration is too powerful, but this is not Tianfang, but the old port of Daming."

"Then what?"

Abdullah asked puzzled.

"Then it is treated differently, understand? There will be no better days, only those who are honest can live a life, and those who are dishonest will suffer. But some people are not reconciled, so most of them find new jobs and build docks."

As for where the few people went, Abdullah knew without asking, most of them were ashes.

Afterwards, the two quarreled for a long time over the price of the transaction, and when it was finally settled, someone went to unload the goods.

"My lord is not here. The whole old port is a little nervous at present. The goods and money you want will be delivered tomorrow. Believe me, my old friend, the old port will not default."

"Well, I don't have a choice either, do I?"

The next day, when Abdullah went out, he found that everyone had gone to the port.

"The big man is here, let's go, let's go and see."

When he got to the pier and saw the huge fleet slowly approaching the pier, Abdullah said solemnly: "This is the Armada. Timur doesn't have it, and Osman can't compete. If this fleet goes there side, it's scary."

"But no matter how powerful the fleet is, it has to be conquered with footsteps, so this is a hypothesis, an assumption without possibility."

"What a big boat!"

"Yes, this fleet has been to our side, it is indeed big, how big is Daming?! Hey!"

More than a dozen small boats docked, and the sergeants rushed ashore to seize the warning position, and then the big shots came out.

"I have seen His Highness!"

After shouting for a while, Abdullah closed his eyes and murmured, "The Prince of Ming is here, this is not a good omen."

"Yes, it seems that Daming is paying more and more attention to this side. If they let the merchants go to sea again, Abdullah, our jobs will be gone."

"Da Ming Wan Sheng!"

At this time, the crowd in front of us was cheering, and one of Abdullah's entourage squeezed back from the front and whispered: "Abdullah, the prince of the Ming people is here! And he just led the fleet to capture Java, yes, Java, as a country, ceased to exist."

"My God! Java, that tyrannical country no longer exists?"

"Yes, Abdullah, was easily defeated by Ming's crown prince."

"This Daming makes people...Abdullah, I'm scared!"

Abdullah looked at those Ming soldiers without blinking his eyes.

"Yes, I'm scared too..."
