On the 'Saint Mary', a group of Spaniards were looking at the Penglai City on land with their eyes wide open in disbelief.
"Oh, God~"
"There is actually a city by the sea here."
Kolster couldn't help but draw a cross on his chest. He came to the Golden Continent a year ago and then settled on Hispaniola (Haiti). He has been exploring the Golden Continent all the time.
Travel to the east coast, looking for gold, silver, jewelry, spices and other things that can make him rich overnight.
Here he came into contact with many city-states and tribes descended from the Yin Shang, but he had never found anyone who would build a city by the sea, let alone build a dock in the bay.
"These buildings seem to be very different from those of the Indian city-states we encountered before, and what about the waving flags?"
Kolster immediately discovered the difference here, and fixed his eyes on the Ming Dynasty Dragon Flag flying on Penglai City.
As the ship got closer and closer to Penglai City, he was finally able to see clearly that it was a dragon flag, a dragon flag that was completely different from all the flags he had seen here before.
The bright yellow dragon flag was bright and noble in color, and the cloth looked very good at first glance. It was extremely luxurious, and it was simply not the type of cloth or color that the Indians he knew could weave.
"Boom~"
Before the 'Saint Mary' could get too close to the pier in the harbor, with a loud noise, a projectile flew towards them, falling heavily into the sea water next to it, raising huge water droplets.
"shit~"
Kolster couldn't help but cursed immediately, and then opened his eyes even wider, a little unbelievable.
"How come these Indians have cannons?"
Then Kolster suddenly understood that the other party was warning him not to get too close to the city and port.
"Aim at them. If they fire again, give me a fierce counterattack."
Kolster immediately ordered, and soon the sailors became busy. The Saint Mary began to turn around, pointing the side of the ship at Penglai City, revealing cannons, vaguely expressing that it was not
It means not to be trifled with.
"Send a small boat over and ask them who they are?"
Seeing that the other party did not fire again, Kolster was slightly relieved, thought about it and gave the order.
Soon, the small boat on the side of the "Saint Mary" was lowered, and several sailors immediately rowed the boat towards Penglai City.
"These Europeans are so courageous. We even fired warning shots at them, but they still dared to come up."
Tian Erniu held the binoculars and looked at the people coming in the small boat, and then looked at Kolster on the side of the 'Saint Mary'. At first glance, these people were different from the descendants of the Yin Shang Dynasty in Golden Continent, at least,
Everyone here is wearing clothes.
The descendants of the Yin Shang here in Huanghuangzhou basically wear no clothes and rely on animal skins to keep out the cold. As for Zhonghuanghuangzhou, the weather is very hot all year round, so even animal skins are saved.
"Send someone to ask them if they are Europeans."
After thinking about it, Tian Erniu also ordered.
Soon, a group of people walked from Penglai City towards the harbor dock. They were wearing armor, holding muskets, and had swords on their waists. They were fully armed.
"Who are these people?"
"They are definitely not Indians!"
When Kolster saw this scene, he immediately became energetic. Here he encountered people who were completely different from the Indians. They were actually wearing armor, as well as muskets and artillery.
A small boat quickly arrived at the dock under the vigorous rowing of several sailors. However, they were very cautious and did not rush to the shore. Instead, they started shouting from a distance of more than ten meters.
"We are sailors under the command of the great nobleman of the Kingdom of Spain, Baron Castro. Who are you?"
They spoke in Portuguese. When the people from Tianjin Ocean Trading Company who came to contact them heard this, they were immediately confused, as if they were listening to the song of birds and could not understand them at all.
"We are from the Ming Dynasty. This is Penglai City, which belongs to our Ming Dynasty Ocean Trading Company. Who are you?"
However, this still does not prevent them from showing that they are the owners of this land.
Obviously, these Spaniards could not understand the Ming Dynasty's human language and were equally confused.
"Call some Aztecs over and see if they can understand the Aztecs."
Tian Erniu saw everything clearly at the harbor dock, and after thinking about it, he gave the order.
Soon, several Aztecs were brought over, and now the Spaniards were finally able to understand more or less.
"They turned out to be Ming people from the far east!"
Then, the Spaniards on the ship were immediately shocked. They actually met the Ming people here in Golden Continent, and met the Ming people who the Europeans had always wanted to contact and get through with.
I took a closer look at the people in Tianjin Ocean Trading Company. They had dark eyes, black hair, clothes, and a temperament that was completely different from that of Indians.
Immediately, these Spaniards began to row as hard as they could, and hurriedly returned to the "Saint Mary". Before the people arrived, they shouted loudly: "They are people from the Ming Dynasty, they are people from the Ming Dynasty~"
"What?"
"Are they from Ming Dynasty?"
When Kolster heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded and his teeth almost fell out of shock.
When Columbus discovered the American continent, they firmly believed that they had arrived in Asia, the legendary East, India, and the Japanese country, so they called the people here Indians.
It's just that they have never found the Ming Dynasty people, nor the silk and porcelain that are extremely expensive in Europe, nor the precious spices from the East.
So many people were studying it carefully, and then they realized that what they had arrived was not the distant east, but a huge continent that they had never known before. No one knew how far it was from the east.
But now, they actually met people from Ming Dynasty.
These people in front of me turned out to be people from the Ming Dynasty, and the city in front of me turned out to be the city of the Ming Dynasty.
This shocked him beyond measure.
"Haha, I finally met the people of Ming Dynasty, I finally met the people of Ming Dynasty~"
"Now we are rich, now we are rich~"
"As long as we can bring these silks, porcelain, and spices from the Ming Dynasty back to Spain, we will all be rich."
After the shock passed, he was ecstatic, and the whole person couldn't help but scream with joy.
In this era, the travelogue written by Marco Polo was very popular in Europe. When Columbus went to America for the first time, his purpose was to explore the route to the East. He even brought a letter written by the King of Spain to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and the Emperor of India.
letter.
In Marco Polo's writings, the far East is extremely rich, with countless porcelain and silk.
The purpose of their early voyages was very simple, that is, to find a road to wealth in the East, to find a road to the East by sea, and to obtain porcelain, silk, gold, silver, gems, spices, etc.
It's just that many years after arriving in America, they have never encountered the legendary Ming people. Instead, they have encountered these backward Indians.
However, they also gained wealth here. The gold and silver of the Indians also drove them crazy, making them come to America endlessly.
Now, they actually met the Ming Dynasty, the legendary Ming Dynasty, which made Carlster suddenly overjoyed.
"Tell them that we have no hostility. We Spaniards want to be friends with their Ming people. Please allow us to dock at their dock. We will abide by their laws."
Then Karst recovered quickly and said hurriedly.
"Yes~"
Several sailors on board the boat immediately jumped up and rowed to the harbor dock again, conveying Karlster's words and expressing their goodwill.
"Spanish~"
"Interesting~"
"Let them stop. I heard Mr. Liu say that this silk and porcelain will be as valuable as gold in Europe. I don't know if it is real or fake. Let's touch it first and see."
Tian Erniu quickly received the news and gave the order after thinking about it.
Soon, the news was conveyed.
The 'Saint Mary' began to park slowly towards the harbor dock. Carlster was also very cautious. He still had a hand in reserve. The other two ships were still parked at sea. In case of any emergency,
You can also run away and seek help.
"Huh~"
Kolster took a deep breath, stepped off the boat, and set foot on the land of Penglai City. He was very excited and felt sacred. He couldn't help but tidy up his clothes and try to make himself look more like a gentleman.
, more noble.
He felt that this moment needed to be written into history, because he became the first nobleman in the Western world to come into contact with the Ming people. He was the first Westerner to set foot on the land of the Ming Dynasty, and he was also the first person to arrive in the Ming Dynasty.
He looked at the Ming people on the pier. They were all tall, and the armors they wore were very fine. The swords on their waists looked high-quality, and they also had muskets on their shoulders. This made him restrain himself.
An air of arrogance developed here in America.
He immediately realized that these Ming people were extremely difficult to mess with. Their weapons and equipment were more sophisticated than his own, and they were very different from the Indians here in America.
Although it seems that there is not much difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Indians, they are very similar in appearance, but the Ming Dynasty people reveal a sense of arrogance in their bones. When they look at themselves, they look like they look at these Indians.
They all look like civilized people looking at savages.
Looking at the clothes and pants of these Ming people again made him even more convinced that these people were indeed Ming people.
