- The Sea King is very popular no matter where it goes in Europe.
Because of its huge hull, ferocious collision angle, and densely packed artillery muzzles, it proves to people that it is terrifying.
Compared with the Sea King, the sea-going ships of this era are simply insignificant.
Therefore, it is no wonder that when people see the Sea King, they will be stunned and watch from a distance.
Alexandria is now a major port that can be called 'international'.
Here, Zhao Hongyu saw Arabs, blacks, whites, and various other races from the Middle East, Africa, and Europe.
You know, today¡¯s world is not as developed as it was in later generations, so it¡¯s really nice to see so many people in one city.
¡°After all, there are no airplanes, trains and cars now. Even if the era of great navigation has begun, ocean-going ships will still take a long time to reach their destination.
At the same time, during the voyage, there are also crises such as storms, leukemia, and insufficient food to worry about.
It can be said that ocean sailing in this era was far from as easy as seen in later movies.
"The reason why Zhao Hongyu can easily cross the Atlantic Ocean and live a very comfortable life is because he has turned on a cheat.
Otherwise, he is just so easy.
After a voyage of more than a month, there were still so many people on board.
Eating, drinking, defecating, etc. is definitely a headache.
If Zhao Hongyu hadn¡¯t been able to purchase food and vitamin-supplementing ¡®effervescent tablets¡¯ through the space-time trader, his life would not have been much better.
People at the pier gradually dispersed after watching for a while.
? ?Everyone just wanted to see what was new, and after watching it, everyone went about their own business.
The city of Cairo is similar to the international metropolis of later generations. Because there are many businessmen gathered here, the prices here are a bit high.
Therefore, in order to survive, people here must keep busy and make money in order to ensure that they can survive.
Therefore, everyone will not focus on Zhao Hongyu and the others for a long time.
Unlike ordinary people, the only ones who are still paying attention to Zhao Hongyu and his group are businessmen.
Unlike the local businessmen in Cairo, the European businessmen who had been to Manhattan in the Americas all looked at Zhao Hongyu and his party with gleaming eyes.
They all speculated who Zhao Hongyu was.
You know, in Manhattan on the American continent, the person who interacts with everyone the most is Zhang Tie.
¡°However, Zhang Tie does not often appear in front of businessmen. Most of the time, he appoints his subordinates to contact businessmen, even officials from the European offices in Manhattan.
It is precisely for this reason that all businessmen regard Zhang Tiechuan as very mysterious.
In addition, Zhang Tie is subordinate to the director of the 'Umbrella' company and the imperial minister of trade and economics, so his status is very high in the hearts of the businessmen.
Except for Zhang Tie, it must be Zhao Hongyu, His Majesty from the Americas.
In order to let the European silkworms know how powerful and wealthy America is, Zhang Tie intentionally or unintentionally asked his men to reveal information about the wealth of His Highness the Crown Prince to the businessmen.
The land, manors, cattle, sheep and horses, shipyards and territories under Zhao Hongyu's name, including the shares held in the umbrella company, all stunned the businessmen.
It can be said that according to the calculations based on the news deliberately spread by Zhang Tie, Zhao Hongyu personally controls more wealth than all the kings in Europe.
This made European businessmen who worshiped money and wealth very much, and their admiration for the imperial crown prince suddenly increased infinitely.
¡°It¡¯s a pity that Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t know how to deal with businessmen, so European businessmen have never seen Zhao Hongyu.
Even if Zhao Hongyu occasionally appears in the commercial streets of Manhattan, he is well protected and cannot be approached by businessmen.
As for Song Hu and Wang Shan, they have nothing to do with economics and trade, so businessmen are not very interested in them.
But even so, businessmen also know that if they want to get along in Manhattan, they must first have good dealings with a few people.
Needless to say about the umbrella company, Zhang Tie is the top executive and has the power to control foreign trade quotas. This is someone who must not be offended.
Not to mention Zhang Tie, even the lower-level employees of the Umbrella Company must be treated like uncles.??Provide it.
Song Hu went to Lake Ontario, so no one could make any decisions about him.
Wang Shan is the person whom the Crown Prince trusts most, but it is a pity that he accompanied the Crown Prince to Europe.
And he is always with the crown prince and has no way of contacting him.
Fortunately, there was also the hospitable old father-in-law of Zhao Hongyu, the black bear, so many Europeans set their sights on the black bear.
"But Black Bear is not a fool. He accepts all the gifts without fail, but when it comes to doing things then it's 'haha'."
"What is the status of this man in the Song Empire? He seems to be very young, so he must be a big noble, right?"
"It's hard to say, the coast of America is the territory of the crown prince, and the inland has never been opened up. Maybe it's the imperial nobles in the inland. It's really hard to say."
¡°What¡¯s the use of mumbling here? Let¡¯s just go up and have some contact with him. If we¡¯re lucky and we establish a relationship with him, it might be of great benefit in Manhattan in the future.¡±
"Then go ahead, I hope you can pass the guards."¡ª¡ª
Dividing line¡ª¡ª
"Your Highness, if we bring so many soldiers into Cairo, will there be any misunderstanding?"
Wang Shan beside Zhao Hongyu asked worriedly.
Zhao Hongyu said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. Egypt has always been a role pushed by various countries and has no confidence at all. And Egypt is still a city under the Ottoman Turkish Empire. What do you think we will encounter?" trouble?"
Wang Shan thought about it and found that it was indeed the same thing.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, although the Egyptians are not very good, you should always consider the Ottoman Empire. As you said, Egypt has now become a vassal state of the Ottomans, and we must give it some face."
Zhao Hongyu curled his lips when he heard this: "We don't have much conflict of interest with the Ottoman Empire. We don't have to worry about them when we act. Besides, if they want to cause trouble, is it possible that they can cross the Atlantic and come to America? And what is my identity? Entering the city It¡¯s appropriate to bring hundreds of guards, I guess they won¡¯t stop it.¡±
After saying that, Zhao Hongyu waved his hand, and the prepared genetic guards began to walk up the steps to the pier with neat steps.
When Wang Shan saw him, he stopped talking.
Since His Highness has made up his mind, if he continues talking, it will make Zhao Hongyu unhappy, right?
¡°And what Zhao Hongyu said is absolutely correct. It shouldn¡¯t be a big deal for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of America to enter the city, accompanied by hundreds of guards.
"However, both Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan have forgotten one thing. In this era, an army of less than a thousand people can already be regarded as capable of attacking cities and territories.
"Your Highness, I remember that we met a businessman named Abdullah before. You gave him a sum of money to buy you a mansion here. It would be better for us to find out where this guy is. I don¡¯t even know where to go now.¡±
Wang Shan suddenly thought of the businessman he met on the way to Marseille.
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Send someone to inquire. I also want to see if that guy took the money and ran away. If he didn't run away, I wouldn't mind giving him a fortune."
In Zhao Hongyu¡¯s mind, giving so much money to Abdullah at that time was nothing more than a whim.
??Besides, many of the gems in that purse were artificial gems bought at the same time as the time and space trader.
Therefore, even if that guy takes away these things, Zhao Hongyu will not suffer much loss.
With Zhao Hongyu¡¯s consent, Wang Shan found five translators hired from the temporary docking port of Crete and asked them to enter Cairo in advance to find the businessman named Abdullah.
Zhao Hongyu and the others walked slowly and leisurely towards Cairo City.
The dock is very lively, but it is still some distance from Cairo.
Here, the dock area is also divided into two worlds.
This point is somewhat similar to the planning of Manhattan. The urban area is the urban area and the dock area is the dock area.
Walking along the steps to the most prosperous and lively part of the dock, Zhao Hongyu looked up and saw the slave trading site.
Several Turkish businessmen with their heads covered and wearing fine red silk were constantly talking to some black-skinned businessmen wearing white robes or bare-chested.
Among these people?Beside them stood a naked girl with dull eyes. From the eyes of these girls, you could not see their expectations and desires for life at all, because they knew their destiny.
The businessmen who were talking would raise their hands to touch her body from time to time, and then open her lips to show each other her teeth, as if this was an inspection before trading livestock, standing beside them is not a living person.
In the shade of a corner not far away, some men and women were squatting there with shackles on their hands and feet. Some women even held a baby in their arms.
Emma didn¡¯t have much reaction to such a scene.
Because on the American continent, many people from defeated tribes would also be sold and distributed like this.
On the other hand, Sarah and the women of Samuel¡¯s family had unbearable expressions on their faces.
Wang Shan looked at it with interest, but there was no sympathy in his eyes, he just simply felt it was interesting.
Zhao Hongyu is numb.
For Wang Shan and Zhao Hongyu, these merchants are not selling Chinese goods, so it has nothing to do with them. (To be continued.
