When Liu Jin and Zhang Mao commanded the Ming Dynasty¡¯s army to conquer Annan and Champa, on the other half of the world, on the sea in the port of Cadiz, Spain, two Spanish sailing ships were slowly sailing towards the port.
¡°The great Kingdom of Castile, I¡¯m back!¡±
On the deck of the St. Mary, Kolster looked at the Port of Cadiz in front of him, and he couldn't help but roar.
He was so excited.
¡°Every route to the Americas is full of endless dangers, and it is very likely that you will never return. Being able to come back is something to be happy about.
Especially this time, they finally came into contact with the Ming people in the far east. He used all the wealth he gained in America to buy silk, porcelain, and glass mirrors from the Ming Dynasty. He believed that as long as these things arrived in Spain, they would be absolutely useless. It can make him rich overnight.
Wealth is what he loves most.
¡°Finally arrived in Spain?¡±
Jiang Liang looked at the excited Kolster beside him, and then looked at the increasingly clear port city in front of him. He was also slightly excited.
He became the first Ming Dynasty man to come to Spain.
Things started a few months ago when Carlster met Tian Erniu and others in Penglai Port. After the first meeting between the two parties, Spain on the American islands of Hispaniola and Cuba were all excited. Ruo Kuang went to Penglai Island one after another to contact the Ming people here.
They used the gold and silver in their hands to buy almost all the silk, porcelain, mirrors and other things in the hands of the Ming people here on Penglai Island.
They then immediately sent two ships back to Spain to bring the good news back.
Since Columbus opened the American route, the place they most wanted to reach was the far east. They wanted to find the Ming Dynasty and obtain the silk, porcelain and spices of the Ming Dynasty people.
But the American route has been opened for ten years, and they have never reached the far east and never met the Ming people.
Now, they finally have news about a distant and rich country, which makes them extremely excited, and they can't wait to spread the news back to Spain immediately.
In order to make more people believe that they had found the Ming Dynasty and made contact with the distant and wealthy country, Carlster also sent an invitation to Tian Erniu, inviting Tian Erniu to send some people to follow them to Europe and Spain.
After much thought, Tian Erniu decided to respond to Karst's invitation, so he sent a team of 20 people headed by Jiang Liang and Zhao Houhou to follow Karst to Europe.
This is a careful consideration after careful consideration.
Europeans opened new routes and wanted to go to the East. On the Ming side, many merchants, led by Tianjin Ocean Trading Company, also wanted to go to Europe, because according to Liu Jin's description, the porcelain and silk of the Ming Dynasty were available in Europe. Equivalent to gold.
If you can travel to Europe, it means you can open a door to wealth and exchange boatloads of porcelain and silk for boatloads of gold and silver.
Of course, by following Karst to Europe, you can also know how far the Golden Continent is from Europe. It can also prove that the earth is indeed a round ball, and you can reach the same place from the east or the west.
Now it happens that Carlster invites me to go to Europe, so that would be the best. By the way, I can also learn the navigation skills of Europeans.
After arriving in Europe, you can also understand the situation in Europe and provide a basis for Ming's subsequent decision-making.
The two sides hit it off immediately, so Jiang Liang and Zhao Houhou followed Carlster's fleet to Europe. After 63 days of sailing, they finally arrived at the Spanish port of Cadiz smoothly.
¡°After 63 days, we finally arrived in Europe.¡±
Beside Jiang Liang, Zhao Houhou also looked at the exotic city in front of him.
The Port of Cadiz in the early 16th century had begun to become prosperous with the discovery of America.
In addition to Columbus's first trip to the Americas, which was from Port Barros, the next three trips to the Americas all started from here. The entire Port of Cadiz also prospered rapidly with the opening of American routes and African routes.
Shipbuilding, fishing, and the slave trade are prevalent, making this port city vaguely comparable to Lisbon in Portugal.
At this time, in the Port of Cadiz, ships of all sizes were moored in the port, which seemed very busy.
"Ha haMore and more people are coming to the port, and everyone wants to come and see these Ming people and see if they are the same as the rich oriental country described by Marco Polo.
The dock where the St. Mary is parked is surrounded by water. Pairs of eyes are looking at Zhao Houhou and Jiang Liang. Their eyes are shining with light, wishing they could study them closely at close range.
"Hello everyone~"
"My name is Zhao Houhou. I come from the Ming Empire in the far east. I am very happy to come to the great Spain."
Zhao Hou looked at the eyes in the port, smiled and waved his hands, and then greeted the people in the port in somewhat broken Spanish.
"Oh God~"
¡°He can speak Spanish~¡±
"Is the clothes he is wearing made of silk?"
"Mr. Zhao, welcome to Spain~"
"Oh~"
"Ouch~"
Suddenly, all the Spaniards in the port couldn't help cheering, the men waved their hats, and the Spanish women were so excited that they couldn't breathe.
