The weather in the old port is sunny and the sea breeze blows gently. A few sea birds are foraging on the sea surface, plunging down from time to time, and then flying up with food in their mouths, feeling very proud.

Two merchant ships appeared outside the sea and then came straight towards the dock.

More than a dozen men with big beards on the ship, with high noses and deep eyes, crawled out of the cabin, looking out at the harbor in the distance.

“So many people!”

As the dock approached, the men saw that the dock was densely packed with people, as if they were under construction.

"The old port is expanding its dock, but Daming has not opened a business road. Who do they use to expand it?"

"Hey! There is a Mingren's warship!"

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

Thinking of the huge fleet, these men were all afraid and envious.

Although the Ottomans were still recovering at this time, the Arab world felt the pressure brought by the re-emergence of the giant.

At the beginning of Yongle, the arrogant Ottoman Empire was defeated by the Timur Empire, and the king was captured and never recovered.

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

"Temur, Ottoman, Ming Dynasty, what do you think?"

A man asked.

"Temur is very powerful, but if the Ottoman recovers, their fierceness should be the most powerful. As for the Ming Dynasty... their aggressiveness is too poor and too conservative, and it is not enough to become the master of this world."

"Yeah, that's it."

At this time, a small boat approached at the port, and the people on the boat shouted: "Stop the ship to check!"

"Why? It's not before."

Everyone on the boat was a little puzzled.

The people on the boat shouted: "This is a new rule. Cargo must be checked before entering the port, otherwise the docking will not be allowed."

There were still people on the boat holding swords and guns, and obviously they would use force if they were disobedient.

So these people in Tianfang had to take these people to the warehouse for inspection.

After the ship finally arrived at the port, the merchants looked solemn when they saw that those who were busy were natives.

What is Daming trying to do?

The Ming Dynasty in the past was not so domineering, and it would not enslave the local natives.

"Abdullah, welcome your arrival. I haven't encountered pirates along the way? Where is the wind and waves? I feel very pleased to see you come to the old port alive..."

A slippery voice came, and someone among the merchants on the boat responded: "Mr. Zhong, I'm fine. I can walk on this route with my eyes closed."

A businessman got off the boat, and the bearded man looked at the mess and his robe was full of wrinkles. He laughed and walked towards the man on the dock. After a bear hugged him, he said, "Zhong Pin, you are still so greasy. Lord Shi should have replaced you long ago."

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

Abdullah said helplessly: "Can I still go into the sea to take a shower? Well, my friend, let's trade."

Zhong Pin took the list of goods and frowned and said, "It's all ivory rhinoceros horns. I'll see what else... red silk embroidered silk, stamen cloth... jewelry, ambergris..."

"Is this enough? I guess these goods are enough for Lord Shi to pay tribute to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and then exchange them for countless wealth."

Zhong Pin smiled and said, "There will be a tribute this year, but... I dare not expect much reward."

"Why?"

"Because a big man has arrived in the old port, you'd better be more at ease, otherwise no one can save you, do you understand? No one can do it, including our adults."

"Big man? How old?"

"This is not a question that you, a businessman, should you ask. Have you seen the soldiers beside you? If you ask any more, you don't have to go back. You will see your figure busy every day on the dock, and I dare not give you some delicious food. Do you understand what I am talking about?"

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

"Hey! There are our people over there!"

At this time, a man with him pointed at the person driving piles on the other side of the pier and exclaimed.

When Abdullah looked sideways, he saw two Tianfang men waving their sledgehammers clumsily and driving piles. They were very diligent and had no intention of being lazy.

"My friend, why is this?"

Abdullah asked angrily, his followers were all angry. It looked like that, if there were no Ming army beside them, they would definitely rescue their compatriots.

Zhong Pin sighed and brought Abdullah to the side, whispering: "These people are all rebels, do you understand?"

"What did they resist?" Abdullah didn't understand at all.

Zhong Pin said helplessly: "Some people think your penetration is too powerful, but this is not Tianfang, but the old port of the Ming Dynasty."

"Then what?"

Abdullah asked in confusion.

"Then it's just treating the difference. Do you understand? Good days will not come again. Only by being honest can you live your life. Those who are not honest will suffer. But some people are unwilling to give up, so most of them find new jobs and build docks."

As for where the few people went, Abdullah didn't need to ask, most of them were gray.

Then the two quarreled for a long time over the transaction price, and after finally making a reservation, someone went to unload the goods.

"Our adults are not here. At present, the entire old port is a little nervous. The goods and money you want will be delivered tomorrow. I believe my old friend, the old port will not be liable for the debt."

"Well, I have no choice, right?"

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

"The big guy is here, let's go and have a look."

When he arrived at the dock and saw the huge fleet slowly leaning towards the dock, Abdullah said with a serious expression: "This is an invincible fleet, Timur does not have it, and Ottomans cannot compete. If this fleet goes there, it will be terrible."

"But no matter how powerful the fleet is, it still has to be conquered with steps, so this is a hypothesis, an assumption with no possibility."

"What a big ship!"

"Yes, this fleet has been to our side, it is indeed big. How big is Daming?! Alas!"

More than a dozen small boats docked, and the soldiers rushed ashore to seize the alert position. Then, the big man appeared.

"See Your Highness!"

After a shout, Abdullah closed her eyes and murmured: "The Prince of Ming is here, this is not a good sign."

"Yes, it seems that the Ming Dynasty is paying more and more attention to this side. If they let go of merchants to go to sea, Abdullah will lose our jobs."

"The Ming Dynasty has won thousands of victories!"

At this time, the crowd greeted in front was cheering, and one of Abdullah's followers 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, no longer exists."

"Oh my God! Java, that powerful country no longer exists?"

"Yes, Abdullah was easily defeated by the Ming Dynasty crown prince."

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

Abdullah looked at the Ming army without blinking.
