It is better to meet than to be famous, and Macao, which has a great reputation among maritime merchants and pirates, finally imprinted the first impression of Li Tianyang's eyes, and it is not as good as Ding Xingwang, a person from their hometown Tanmen.

The low city walls and the rows of houses in a different architectural style from the Ming Dynasty are the most eye-catching, but the most striking of them is a spire building surrounded by a hill in the middle of the Macau peninsula, and a huge cross-shaped iron frame is erected high on the top.

Although he did not believe in religion in later generations, he was familiar with the construction style of most churches, and Li Tianyang immediately deduced that this unique style of building must be the church where those priests lived and worked.

Outside the port, several Western-style ships with a completely different style from the Ming Dynasty Fu Ship and the Guangzhou Ship are suspended on the sea, with a huge hull, a narrow "U" shaped structure at the top and a wide bottom, standing tall and obviously higher than the mast height of the Ming Dynasty ships such as the Fu Boat, and the dense cables are suspended on it, giving rise to a compelling momentum.

For a group of sailors who run on the sea all year round, a good sea ship is no less than the temptation of a horse for a knight. Although they did not see it in person, they could feel the excellence of these huge warships just by their instincts.

Compared with the same huge fortune ships and wide ships, these Western sea ships have more narrow lines and therefore must be more flexible.

Finally docked the boat on the dock, and before Li Tianyang and them got off the boat, a few foreigners wearing slim half-body clothes, a pair of flared trousers wrapped around the lower body and bound in stockings, wearing a uniform leather hat with a feather inserted on the head, and the brim rolled outward into a triangle, and a few strands of gold or red hair were exposed under the hat.

The unique faces of Westerners, eagle noses, and brown or blue eyes amazed a group of teenagers who had never been in contact with each other, and they were talking unscrupulously one after another.

Perhaps they had long been accustomed to the onlookers of the Ming people, and the several Westerners who came to interrogate did not have any radical actions towards Li Tianyang because of this, but a leading foreigner held a white quill in his right hand and rolled a roster in his left hand, and began to interrogate Li Tianyang about their intentions.

On the one hand, there was a lack of a match to tell the foreigners who had prepared a long time ago to interrogate the foreigners, and on the other hand, Li Tianyang did not forget to carefully look at the outfits of these foreigners.

Compared with the teenagers who were surprised by the appearance and clothing of these foreigners, Li Tianyang cared more about the weapons and equipment worn by these foreigners. The most conspicuous thing on a few foreigners is naturally the musket they are carrying behind them, and they already have a musket that looks like a rifle in later generations, and the body of the gun is one meter three or four long at first glance, it looks like the homemade shotgun collected by Li Tianyang in his hometown in his hometown. At the bottom of the musket, the gray-white leads made of cotton thread silently told Li Tianyang that they were not to be messed with.

In addition, on the right side of the waists of several foreigners, there is also a dagger with a ruler length and inserted in a leather sheath, but unlike ordinary daggers, there are two more circular card nests above and below the handles of these daggers, which Li Tianyang estimates are used to jam in the front of the musket and use it as a spear in close combat. At the same time, on the left side of their waists, a long and narrow knife hung down to the base of their calves, and although the slightly curved blade was not unsheathed, it did not prevent Li Tianyang from imagining the brilliance of their unsheathed in his mind.

In the waist of the foreign leader who recorded their origins, in addition to these weapons, there was also a pistol that was less than a foot long, and what surprised Li Tianyang the most was the rear edge of the pistol, which was less of a lead that extended outward, and a revolver-like pistol.

Li Tianyang sighed deeply in his heart, when the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were still using big swords, spears, longbows and crossbows, the Westerners had already completed the transformation of weapons and equipment from cold weapons to hot weapons. Although there are still such and such shortcomings of gunpowder guns today, with the continuous research and development and improvement of Western craftsmen, the trend of hot weapons replacing cold weapons is undoubted!

But look at the Ming Dynasty, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were still a number of large-scale Shenji battalions, but now? Hundreds of years of history of the Ming Dynasty, until now, the research and development of firearms has been stagnant, eating the old books of the predecessors, and even embarrassing to a lot of powerful artillery, the Ming Dynasty government needs to find foreigners to buy, the gap is gradually widening with the passage of time.

Li Tianyang knew the law of the development of firearms in later generations, but with their current team, even a little bit of steel still needs to be trusted and find an excuse to buy it in large quantities from the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, it is not that Li Tianyang broke the jar and gave up the research and development of firearms, but limited to the influence of the team's strength and the relationship between the craftsmen and masters who developed it from scratch, at least for a year or two, it is impossible for their team to produce any firearms on their own, except for grenades.

It didn't take long for the leader of the foreigners, who spoke broken Chinese, to register Li Tianyang and them, and then introduced their laws and regulations in Macau, and then led the people towards the city.

In the meantime, Li Tianyang still had the heart to show off a few English words he learned from junior high school and movies in later generations, and say hello to the Franc Robot, but he didn't want to exchange a few surprised glances from the Franc Robot, and replied a few words in English that was worse and more lame than Li Tianyang. In the end, after the two of them rushed to the extremely difficult exchange, Li Tianyang did not know until later that Britain at this time was not the huge sea country that once boasted of being an empire on which the sun never set. Compared with the two real European powers, France and Spain, its influence in Europe is really not very large.

Li Tianyang wiped a handful of cold sweat from embarrassment, and walked into the city of Macao with people after passing the playful eyes of a few partners.

It is said to be a city, but in fact, the inhabitants inside are actually similar to a village along the coast of Daming. As soon as I entered the door, there was a Han man wearing Ming costumes who walked over respectfully, and was stopped by several young team members from a distance.

Thinking that his group of people had just arrived, they were not familiar with the Macao Peninsula at all, and they just needed a guide to explain the layout and taboos on this island, so Li Tianyang immediately recruited this guide who came to the door, and he took everyone around the small city of Macao.
