    You can search "Da Ming Zhen Hai Wang" in Baidu to find the latest chapter!

    In the northern Indian Ocean, a fleet of more than ten large ships is sailing from north to south, with the Great Ming Dragon Flag hanging on the ship constantly fluttering.

    Taiping Hou Du Mingen, who was dressed in crimson robes, looked towards the east.

    He is homesick, really homesick!

    Starting from Tianjin in the spring of last year, we first traveled all the way south to Nanyang, opened up a Nanyang route, and also dealt with Luzon hard.

    Then he went all the way west from Nanyang, along the route that the Three Treasures Eunuchs used to sail to the West, from Sulu to Malacca, then to Siam, up to Burma, to Tianzhu, south to Ceylon, and then all the way north to Persia in the Middle East.  .

    It was already the New Year when he arrived in Persia. Now in order to complete the path traveled by the Three Treasures Eunuch, he continued to lead more than ten large ships to the south.

    He decided to go to Africa, to Mugudushu, to see the legendary black Kunlun slaves.

    But at this moment, he really missed home.

    He came out for almost a year, and spent most of the time wandering at sea. Even though he saw the exotic scenery of various countries along the way, and even though his big ship was filled with gold, silver, jewelry, and rare and exotic goods, none of this could stop him.  I miss my hometown and my relatives in my hometown.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on here in Ming Dynasty~¡±

    "Is Tianjin becoming more prosperous?"

    Du Mingen has a lot of thoughts. The longer he has been away from home, the more impatient he feels. He wants to return to Daming as soon as possible and see his hometown.

    But he knew the dream in his heart.

    This sea is your final destination.

    This time, after arriving in Africa, he planned to travel along the east coast of Africa. He first understood the situation on the African side and prepared for the next voyage.

    In fact, he really wanted to go to Europe, but conditions did not allow it. The situation of the fleet was already a bit pessimistic. Many of the supplies he had prepared were exhausted, especially soybeans, tea and dehydrated vegetables. Without such things,  There are several things that can easily make you sick while sailing on the ocean.

    Originally, there were more than fifty large ships when they arrived in Tianzhu, but every time they arrived at a place, Du Mingen would send a ship back to Daming first. Along the way, now only these dozen large ships are left to go south to Africa.  .

    Of course, one advantage of sailing this way is that there are countries along the way, so many things can be replenished. Unlike going to the Golden Continent, the journey is far away and there are barbarian lands along the way, so it is difficult to replenish the things you need.

    In addition to the problems with supplies, the crew members were also like Du Mingen. They were all homesick and wanted to return to the Ming Dynasty.

    Many crew members have expressed their intentions to Du Mingen and want to return to Ming Dynasty, or even never go sailing again in the future.

    They have earned enough money to live a prosperous life.

    Because many crew members have rich sailing experience at sea, after they returned to Ming Dynasty, major trading houses rushed to recruit them, and they could just walk around in the waters around Ming Dynasty in a relaxed manner.

    Some sailors have even planned to open a plantation in Nanyang and retire there in the future.

    The crew members who can follow Du Mingen to Africa are all like Du Mingen, who have a heart for the sea and want to go further on the ocean and see more places.

    "Arabian Peninsula~"

    ¡°Entering the Red Sea, it would be great if there was a canal connecting the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. In this way, you don¡¯t have to walk thousands of miles around Africa to go to Europe.¡±

    Soon, Du Mingen came to his senses again, picked up the map and studied the voyage carefully.

    His eyes were immediately fixed on the area connecting the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. It was very short, but it separated the two places abruptly, making it impossible for ships to pass through.

    In his mind, he suddenly thought of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, thinking that if a canal were opened between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, there would be too many places to go to Europe.

    "Europe~"

    ¡°How about we go to Europe from here to take a look when the time comes?¡±

    An idea suddenly appeared in Du Mingen's mind.

    In my mind, I also recalled what Liu Jin had said about Europe.

    Liu Jin has a lot of descriptions of Europe, and even Liu Jin believes that people in Europe will definitely become the Ming Dynasty in the future.The leather trade was also extremely prosperous. Merchants from the Ottoman Empire, Persia, and India gathered here to sell frankincense, myrrh, ivory, leather, etc. to all over the world.

    The Mogadishu at this time is far from being comparable to the Mogadishu of later generations.

    At this time, Mogadishu can be regarded as the largest and most prosperous city in eastern Africa. However, Mogadishu in later generations was filled with wars, rebellions and huge profits.

    In Mogadishu in the early morning, as the sun rises in the east, the rolling waves are awash with red. The rows of ancient Qing~~~Zhen~~ temples on the coast are filled with Sanskrit sounds, and the towering spiers are towering into the clouds.  Standing on top of the round white hat, rows of ancient white Arab castles reflect the morning sun.

    A new day has begun.

    This ancient city began to become noisy again, and Arabs, Persians, and local Samal people started a new busy day.

    However, someone soon discovered that on the eastern sea, among the rolling red waves, more than a dozen large ships flying the flag of the Ming Dynasty were slowly heading towards the port of Mogadishu.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
