Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 659, Kunlun slave
With the arrival of Du Mingen's fleet, the whole of Mogadishu began to boil.

Some older people began to recall the scene when the Sanbao eunuch arrived in Mogadishu from the Western Sea.

It is also a big ship, with the same carvings of auspicious clouds on the big ships, and the flag hanging on the mast is still bright yellow, with a snake-like totem embroidered on it, which is said to be called a dragon.

“Mogadishu is full of bones~”

"Finally, we have reached the farthest place that the Sanbao eunuch went to when he went to the West."

On the deck of the 'Tarzan', Du Mingen was wearing a crimson robe, standing upright, looking at the port that was getting closer and closer, and at the boiling Mogadishu in front of him.

The city still thinks beautiful.

Especially the castles and tall temples on the coast, bathed in the morning sun, shining with art and wisdom.

At the same time, a large number of ships are moored in this port, large and small, with different styles, including Arab dhows, Persian slave paddle boats, and even ships from Tianzhu.

Of course, compared with Du Mingen's ships, these ships are relatively small, just like children and adults.

"Look~ look, Kunlun slave~"

"Kunlun Slave~"

"There are really people in this world who are as black as coal!"

Soon, the people on the boat started to scream. It turned out that the crew saw the Kunlun slaves in the port, and saw those pitch-black people.

"It's really not ordinary black~"

Du Mingen took out his binoculars and looked into the port, and soon saw the dense crowd in the port, and immediately saw those dark and dark people.

Du Mingen couldn't help laughing immediately.

Along the way, Du Mingen has been to many countries and regions, and has seen different civilizations and different races. There are also many black people in Tianzhu, but the blackness of the Tianzhu people is different from the blackness of the Kunlun slaves here. It's different, that kind belongs to long-term tanning.

And these Kunlun slaves here seem to be born so black, just like black charcoal, black and pitch-black.

"The world is so big, there are so many wonders~"

Du Mingen couldn't help sighing immediately.

The arrival of Du Mingen's fleet quickly alarmed Sultan Alimu here.

In fact, Mogadishu was first established by the Arabs and Persians. When they immigrated, they also brought the technology and culture of the Arabs. Therefore, it is similar to the Arab regions, and they are all under the Sudanese system.

"Friends from afar, where are you from?"

As soon as Du Mingen's ship docked, someone came forward to inquire.

"We are Daming from the East!"

Du Mingen also asked people to take out the relevant customs clearance documents, which were covered with the seals of each country, as well as the signatures of people from each place and country.

Because Du Mingen had been to the Middle East and Persia, the ship also hired a few people who are proficient in Persian, Arabic, and Indian to act as translators, otherwise the communication would be really difficult.

"They are Daming from the far east!"

Hearing the answer, the people here immediately cheered.

At the same time, Sultan Alimu also brought people over.

"Welcome distinguished guests from the East, I am Sultan Alimu here."

Alimu was wearing a white robe, looking at Du Mingen and the others in front of him. The clothes they were wearing were very bright in color and the patterns on them were also very exquisite.

This reminded him of the porcelain, tea and silk from the far east. These things are very rare and expensive here. Some porcelains left by the Sanbao eunuchs are now treasured in the rich and powerful's homes.

"Your Majesty the Sultan, I am Du Mingen, Marquis of Taiping, Great Ming Dynasty. It is a pleasure to meet you."

"This time my fleet is coming from the east, please allow me to do business here, replenish supplies, and rest~"

Du Mingen looked at the Alimu in front of him. He had fairer skin, more three-dimensional facial features, and dark blue eyes. This is the most obvious Arab feature.

This made Du Mingen a little surprised. He thought that at Mugudushu, he should meet the Kunlun slave king, but he didn't expect these Arabs to be the king.

Looking at the people around him, they are all similar, and one can even clearly see some obvious hierarchy distinctions here.

The most noble ones are these purebred Arabs, all of them are ordinary people with skin; the next ones are those people with mixed blood. Although their skin is dark, it is more like coffee color, not the kind of jet black.

The last ones are the jet-black people on the outermost periphery. This is actually similar to Tianzhu. The most noble are the Aryans, the foreign invaders. On the contrary, the natives have the lowest status. contacts.

"Of course, we welcome guests from the East~"

Ali Mu naturally agreed.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty the Sultan, for your kindness~"

For this set, Du Mingen is already very proficient.

Like other places, a set of glass products will be sent up first. Anyway, this product is very cheap. The key is that everyone likes it and can help open up sales.

All kinds of glass products, mirrors and other things he brought over have been sold out, and only a small part is left.

When Alimu heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, and soon he saw the gift from Du Mingen.

Glass mirrors, lamps made of glass, accessories made of glass, tea sets made of glass, etc., all kinds of things are shining in the sunlight.

"Mirror!"

Alimu's eyes immediately focused on the full-length mirror, and he couldn't help walking over excitedly. In front of this mirror, he carefully admired his... um, his beard.

"It's unbelievable that there is such a big mirror in this world~"

"This is truly a priceless treasure~"

Looking at the full-length mirror in front of him, Alimu trembled slightly with excitement.

There is a palm-sized mirror in his home, which was a gift brought to him by a Persian businessman. It is said that a Persian businessman also brought that mirror back from the far east.

It is said that in Persia and Arabia, a palm-sized mirror costs hundreds of taels of gold. The key is that there is no place to buy gold.

Now, a full-length mirror was placed in front of him, and it was a gift from the other party, which made him very excited.

Looking at other things, tea sets made of transparent glass, bowls and chopsticks, he couldn't help trembling and observed carefully again, all kinds of glass products, each of which is extremely expensive here, is It needs to be exchanged for gold.

"Guests from afar, these gifts from you are really too precious~"

Alimu took a breath and couldn't help but said to Du Mingen.

"Just a little thing, a little expression of my heart~"

Du Mingen smiled and replied, he was used to the expressions of these people.

Along the way, people in almost every place will be excited when they see these exquisite glass products.

He knows these things, and they are worthless at all. The Beijing Glass Factory and Tianjin Glass Factory can burn as much as you want.

It is said that it is burnt out of sand, which is worthless at all.

It was created by Liu Jin, so it is only worth a little money on Daming's side.

But when these things are overseas, they are all treasures, and you can exchange them for real money if you take them out. Even in Persia, many Persian businessmen fought for the glass products in their hands.

Mirrors, in particular, seem to be more popular than silk and porcelain.

It is said that this mirror is sold to Europe, and the price will be even more expensive.

The other thing is sucrose, which is also very expensive, and the sales are also very strong. When I was in Persia, the sucrose in my hand was snapped up by people.

"Then I'll take it~"

When Alimu heard this, he became even happier immediately, and asked someone to accept what Du Mingen sent out, and then took Du Mingen to his palace to host a banquet for guests from afar.

As soon as Alimu left, the entire port and pier boiled up again.

The merchants gathered here began to swarm over.

These people under Du Mingen's command were also very proficient. They began to clear out an area at the pier, and began to display the goods they were carrying.

All kinds of glass products, which are high-profile products and can be sold at a good price, must be placed in the most conspicuous position.

Porcelain and silk are also very popular items, and they are also placed in the most conspicuous positions. Next are cane sugar, cloth, silk and satin, etc. These are all industrial products of Daming, and they are also the focus of foreign market development. s things.

As these things were put out, the Arab merchants, Persian merchants, and local merchants in the entire port became excited, gathered around one after another, and began to inquire about the price.

　After checking, Mogadishu was occupied by the Spaniards in 1516, that is, more than ten years later~
