Not only Shakespeare, but also the envoys from various countries, Sinbad, Hashiba Hideyoshi, and Mori Terumoto

Wait, all of them are confused.

"God bless, what is this thing?"

"This is a mountain?"

"No! Is this a city wall?"

"Impossible! How can the city wall be so high?"

Several people were talking.

Shakespeare murmured: "My God. Daming, what a giant!"

In front of them is a huge city wall as high as 5 Zhang 640 (16.5 meters). No wonder some messengers regard this place as a mountain range.

This city wall, a reinforced concrete structure, reflects the cold light in the sun, showing an indestructible aura, but it is silent like a mountain, exuding a palpitating aura.

On the city wall, a more majestic blockhouse is built every 30 meters.

Hashiba Hideyoshi, who had a ulterior motive, took a peek and found that on the bunker, there was an open muzzle of the Shenwei Dashogun with a caliber large enough to hold an adult. Black rays of light were reflected in the muzzle, which made anyone with evil intentions feel terrified.

Just watching Kuafu chasing the big lighthouse, I was still lucky, thinking that I could make a detour to land from the far sea to avoid the Kuafu Fortress group attacking Hashiba Hideyoshi in Tianjin, and my vision went dark.

This Tianjin of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have thought of all possible invasions, and set up an indestructible line of defense on the ocean side!

Yan Song glanced at Hashiba Hideyoshi who was sweating profusely, and said calmly: "Sir, it seems (bfbc) that you are very hot in winter, why are you always sweating?"

Hashiba Hideyoshi laughed dryly: "That's right, it's unexpectedly hot inside this carriage. Hahaha!"

Yan Song smiled slightly and said: "Sweating and red face are good things for some people. There is a saying in my Ming Dynasty Chinese medicine, which is called preventing diseases! It means treating diseases that have not yet occurred, and preventing them before they happen! Mr. Monkey, I think you are suffering from a heart disease, and you need to visit and get treatment."

Lu Quan saw that Yu Chai Hideyoshi was not authentic, and said with a cold smile: "Old Yan Ge said it very well, and our Daming also has a saying that when you call friends, you have good wine, and when wolves come, you have knives and guns! Businessmen from all over the world who make a fortune legally together, we open the door to welcome them, and warmly entertain them in the southern red light district and fine wine district, but for some people with ulterior motives who want to armed robbery, our fleet, fort, city wall and army are not Vegetarian! I, Jin Yiwei, live in Tianjin and have a special office of thousands of households, which is responsible for inspecting foreign spies and spies!"

Lu Quan happened to be the Qianhu of Tianjin Jinyiwei Qianhu Office at this time, who was in charge of this matter, and he was extremely vigilant against a guy like Hashiba Hideyoshi who had a sly eyebrow and a mouse-eyed, chicken thief.

Hashiba Hideyoshi laughed twice, and hurriedly defended himself: "Don't misunderstand the kingdom of heaven, how can I be a conspiracy person? I am an honest and responsible person! Eighteen generations of my ancestors were farmers, and now I am also a well-known Good people from Japan."

Yan Song was speechless, his skin was thicker than mine.

In the future, the ancestor Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who played various tricks and tricks, actually claimed to be an honest man?

In the future, will people like Mitsuhide Akechi and Katsuie Shibata, who were murdered by you, laugh?

He also ignored Hashiba Hideyoshi. At this time, it is better not to startle the snake. It is better to do it quietly, so that this sinister monkey will disappear in Daming without a sound.

Lu Quan understood, and stopped talking to Hashiba Hideyoshi.

The horse team drove into the gate of Tianjin New City.

The city gates are all three feet high, and the carriages are very small, and can accommodate 4 carriages entering and exiting at the same time.

Entering Tianjin New City, envoys from various countries exclaimed at the same time.

What appeared before their eyes was an extremely prosperous city.

This city is completely dominated by commerce and service industries, and is planned into hundreds of blocks neatly.In every block, the shops are planned and constructed neatly, horizontally and vertically, and the festivals are adjacent to each other, which is dazzling and dizzying.

Porcelain shops, silk shops, tea shops, cloth shops, clothing shops, spice shops, grain shops, leather shops, handicraft products shops, and even steel tools and products shops are all available.Each of them forms an independent and complete business district.A business district is a product.For example, hundreds of thousands of tea companies are concentrated in three blocks, which can be called a tea city.Porcelain Street also spans four blocks.

Although Daming hasn't officially opened the sea yet, Tianjin New City is extremely prosperous now, with a lot of people, and it doesn't look like a city under construction at all.

These envoys vaguely saw the Mongolian caravan wearing Mongolian robes and riding Mongolian horses, the Korean caravan wearing mink fur and bringing ginseng, fur, and mountain products, and the Jurchens dressed in leather clothes between white mountains and black waters, and The returning caravans from the northwest of Daming were all patrolling in it, busy shouting, picking goods, and negotiating prices.All kinds of heated debates, all kinds of loud price calls.

Even the envoys from these countries saw the Spaniards and the Holy See who had sold Shakespeare just now and were busy buying goods with banknotes.That kind of hopeless and inexperienced appearance made the other missions who came with them blush. "

"This, my God. What a bustling city this is."

"Hasn't the sea not opened yet? Why are these caravans here?" Hashiba Hideyoshi was secretly worried.

. .

Chapter 595 The Mongols’ Experience in Tianjin [5]

Hashiba Hideyoshi originally thought that although Daming wanted to open the sea, opening the sea would not be something that could be done in a short period of time after a hundred years of seclusion.At the very least, the countries have to be notified, the caravans are invited, credentials and other procedures have to be handled, and it will take a year and a half to make this new city full of fleets and caravans, and there will be some prosperous scenes.

Hashiba Hideyoshi was still secretly looking forward to it. After arriving in Tianjin New City, it would be an empty city.

In that way, he will have the capital to negotiate.

Because things are rare.

If Yan Song and Daming have no trade partners, their Japanese daimyos will have rare goods to live in, and they can take the opportunity to raise the price, ~extraordinary asking prices.

However, the iron-like reality shattered his flower-like dream.

In front of Tianjin, Nima does not look like a city that is under construction and has not yet opened for business. It looks like a prosperous trading city. Even Osaka, the largest commercial city in Japan at this time, is not as prosperous as Tianjin.

Why are the caravans of these countries like flies?Come one by one?so cheap?

Hashiba Hideyoshi was annoyed and secretly slandered.

Yan Song seemed to see through Hashiba Hideyoshi's thoughts at a glance, and said with a faint smile: "Actually, I don't know either. The elders of this pavilion have always followed the emperor's will to build first and then open the sea. Who knows, two months ago, these Mongolian, Northeast The land caravans from Northwest, Northwest, and Korea got the news of Tianjin Kaihai, and they crossed the border and came here, holding gold and silver, fur, Korean ginseng, war horses, etc., and asked to trade with my Ming Dynasty. The elders of this pavilion are also quite For helplessness."

He sighed faintly, as if what these caravans brought was not money but trouble, with an expression of "I don't want to, they insist on coming", the envoys from various countries secretly hated it.

"The elders of this pavilion ordered these caravans to be stopped outside the city of Tianjin, and they were not allowed to enter the city. At the same time, Pegasus reported to the emperor and asked the emperor to make a decision. However, these caravans ran under the city wall every day, crying collectively, unable to kneel down, saying Many of the goods they carry, such as Korean ginseng, fur, etc., cannot be stored for a long time, and the weather is cold, and the war horses and other livestock they carry are easy to freeze to death outside. If the boss does not allow them to enter the city for trading, they will freeze and starve to death , let alone explain to the people who are looking forward to it. The elders of this pavilion have a benevolent heart, seeing them crying and shouting every day, and it is so cold outside, so I was moved to compassion."

"It's so easy, the emperor wrote back, saying that this matter is the responsibility of the Shipping Department. Since the imperial court has passed the proposal to open the sea, it is up to the elders to decide when to open the sea. Therefore, the elders specially allowed them to enter the city in advance to conduct transactions. But what I didn't expect was."
