344, Malacca Dynasty
"Impossible? The great Ottoman Turkish Empire blocked the trade route. Can those pagans not reach here?"
"Then, how do you explain the cross on his chest?"
"this……."
The Arab businessmen couldn't tell the difference between the primary and secondary, so they had a fierce discussion around Aurerio's identity, and even the discussion was in full swing. Some people fought directly.
Looking at the Arab merchants, Tim was also amused. Well, now he doesn't need to find a way to delay them. They are already spending their time on their own.
These Arabs were chattering endlessly when they quarreled. They didn't care about Tim and others, but just kept discussing where they were. Until Bruno came back, these Arab merchants were still quarreling endlessly.
"Your Majesty, you are ready. As long as these Arabs go out, they will definitely sink into the sea." Bruno whispered to Tim.
Tim nodded and directed everyone to dodge the passage and let the Arab merchants pass by. However, the Arabs stopped leaving and were still quarreling there. The topic of quarrel between them had risen from "about Aurerio's identity" to the conflict between them.
"You actually talk to me with such an attitude? Have you forgotten who saved you when you went bankrupt last year?"
"If it weren't for my merchant ship carrying you here, would you be rich?"
"If I hadn't married my daughter to you, you would have to be a bachelor."
"This is still arguing endlessly." Tim was speechless, and had to admire the patience and energy of these Arabs.
After another half an hour, the Arabs finally calmed down. They all looked at each other with red faces, and then felt that their rise had faded and then left.
Looking at the direction where the Arab merchant ships left, Tim smiled wickedly: "It seems that their relationship is not very good."
"Your Majesty, what about us now? Do you want to go back and see what's going on?" Bruno turned around and looked at Tim.
Tim shook his head and said confidently: "Don't worry, our warships can solve these powerless merchant ships. We just need to wait here. I'll sleep in the cabin first, and call me after they come."
After saying that, Tim entered the cabin, leaving Bruno and others in a daze on the deck.
In the following time, everyone felt uneasy, fearing that something would happen, so Bruno hesitated for a long time and finally sent a boat to inquire about the situation.
However, the boat never came back after leaving, so Bruno had no choice but to go to see Tim.
"Your Majesty, will there really be no unexpected situation?" Bruno asked anxiously.
Tim rubbed his eyes and yawned: "Don't worry, there will definitely be no unexpected situation."
"But, I sent a boat to inquire about the situation, but the boat has not come back now..."
While Bruno was speaking, Togut's voice sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty, Lord Bruno, they are back."
After hearing the news, Bruno rushed out in a hurry: "How is the situation? Are there any casualties?"
"Don't worry, the situation is going very smoothly, and all the merchant ships were destroyed by us." Togut patted his shoulder and signaled him to rest assured: "The reason they came back so late was because they seized some spices and sent them to the Nicobar Islands, which wasted time."
"That's good, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen." Bruno breathed a sigh of relief.
Togut rolled his eyes: "Please, do you have some confidence in our navy? Our navy is the most powerful navy in the western Mediterranean and the Atlantic. Even if we face the Venetian Navy or even the Ottoman Turkish Navy, we will not suffer any losses."
"I guess the Arab merchants' usual commercial trade activities are very safe, and there is no accidental robbery at all. So when we appear and attack them, they are even more nervous than us. They are defeated by us without any resistance. They are simply not on the same level."
"Stop talking nonsense, keep moving forward." Tim walked out of the cabin and said to everyone.
Togut hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, where should we park?"
"Well, keep moving forward, I will tell you wherever I'll tell you." Tim said, and stood on the deck to guide the direction.
After a while, the fleet continued to move forward. This time, Tim changed his navigation formation, with naval warships leading the way, and the rest of the large and small merchant ships followed behind.
At this time, Southeast Asia, whether it is the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, or Kalimantan, without exception, formed feudal countries, and all the Sultanate were all. In order to prevent unexpected situations, Tim chose to use strong ships and sharp guns to open the way.
After nearly two hours of traveling, an extremely prosperous port suddenly appeared in front of everyone. Merchant ships of all sizes were filled with cargo, and the ships were filled with all kinds of goods: grain, silk, porcelain, spices, etc., which were all available.
"Well? There is such a prosperous port here?" Bruno and others were surprised.
Tim was also shocked, but his intuition told him that this was not Singapore: "Is this Malacca?"
"Your Majesty, do you know the situation in this port?" Everyone turned to look at Tim: "Are we going to trade?"
Tim shook his head: "No, let's not go here first. Let's go ahead first and bypass the port far away and continue moving forward."
Everyone was puzzled by Tim's suspicion, but they followed the order and continued to move forward.
After walking for a while, Tim finally saw the Singapore Island in the distance.
Singapore Island is the main island of the Republic of Singapore, a Southeast Asian island country today. It is located at the southern end of the Malay Peninsula, adjacent to the southern entrance of the Strait of Malacca, across the Singapore Strait in the south, and across the Riau Islands in the Indonesian Riau Islands, and separated from the Johor Strait in the north by the Malay Peninsula, and connected between Singapore and Malaysia by two long dikes.
If I remember correctly, Tim speculated that Singapore should belong to the Malacca Sultanic Dynasty established by Bairimisura at this moment.
Bairimisura was originally the death of Saliver. The prince in the southeastern region of Palembang (now Sumatra, Indonesia) was captured by the Manzhe Boyi Kingdom because of the death of Saliver. The prince fled from Palembang to Temasek (now Singapore). He assassinated the local chief for some reason, and was later pursued and fled to the north.
