Somalia, Courage Port.
The newly claimed and built Courage Port was just a natural bay at this moment.
The bay did not have any port facilities, and it only had rows of wooden platforms built for the convenience of the merchant ship. Overall, it looked rather lackluster.
Even so, an endless number of ships were entering and leaving the port.
Seeing the voyage squadron slowly close in, the various merchant ships automatically made way. They were not fearful; rather, they had a deep respect for the voyage squadron.
Under Zheng He's instructions, the voyage squadron slowly stopped at the west side of the port.
Ouyang Shuo planned to split Courage Port into two; the west side would be used as a military port, and it would house the navy. On the other hand, the east side would be a trading port for voyaging merchant ships to disembark and resupply.
