Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Song Yunxian said anxiously: "What should I do? If you can't see the situation on the other side, how do you know whether the canal can be dug again?

Even if it is forcibly dug, can the canal still be used?Will it cause any bad effects?

For such a large project, if there is one point that cannot be calculated, how much manpower and material resources will be wasted? "

Li Chengyan said: "If you really want to go and have a look, there are actually two ways.

One is to wait until the winter is over, go around the Cape of Good Hope, and finally go around to the opposite location to see.

Another way is to abandon the ship and go ashore. Let's walk over to observe the situation on the opposite side and see if we can dig it out again? "

Song Yunxian cupped her hands and said, "Then go ashore!"

The first method Li Chengyan said is simply nonsense - obviously he wants to dig the canal from here, and then go to England, but now he wants to go around the Cape of Good Hope?

What's the point of that?Just go directly to the army and go by sea to start a fight--as for the supplies, what does it have to do with the Ministry of Industry?

What Li Chengyan wanted was exactly this effect, which was to let these people from the Ministry of Industry go ashore, and then slowly observe through this ruined land.

Zheng Zhilong stopped the few people who wanted to go back to the cabin to prepare, and said in a deep voice: "Don't forget, just because we can run wild on the sea, it doesn't mean that you will still run wild when you go ashore.

Since this barbarian country dares to call itself the master of the center of the world, it must have some strength. If it looks like it landed, will something happen? "

Li Chengyan said: "Drop a soldier from Baihusuo from the ship, and go ashore with me in light clothes. Unless the army of this barbarian country comes to encircle and suppress, what are the rest afraid of?"

After glancing at Li Chengyan, Zheng Zhilong said, "I'll set up a thousand-household house for you. Even if you are surrounded by a barbarian army, I can protect you and wait for you to come back!"

Li Chengyan said with a smile: "That's it, thank you very much!"

After nodding to Zheng Zhilong again, Li Chengyan and others also went back to the cabin to prepare.

The benefits of having a large number of people in Ming Dynasty are reflected once again - it is really easy to find a genius who is good at languages.

Li Chengyan and others took a translator and a whole army of Qianhusuo, boarded the bank of the Suez Canal in a small boat.

However, what Li Chengyan expected and also unexpectedly was that someone was waiting for him on the opposite side—there were about three to five hundred cavalrymen facing each other, and the formation had already been formed.

Although Li Chengyan had also seen the scene of marching and fighting, he didn't know much about the formation of cavalry. What he probably knew was that his own cavalry and infantry were very good at fighting. At present, it seems that everyone is a scumbag.

After turning his head to look at Qianhu beside him, he realized that although Qianhu's expression was dignified, there was no trace of nervousness, and he couldn't help but feel more at ease: "The formation of barbarians on the other side doesn't look like they are going to attack us?"

Qianhu Fuwenyi said: "The cavalry on the opposite side is similar to the Tartar cavalry, and the formation they put out is also a defensive formation, not the kind of cavalry charging, so there is no need to be nervous.

Besides, with just a few barbarians on the opposite side, the strength of our entire Qianhusuo is enough to deal with it. Even if it is several times more, the brothers can protect the adults and fight out! "

After lightly nodding his head, Li Chengyan motioned for the interpreter to go over and shout: "We are from the Ming Dynasty. We have heard the name of the Suez Canal for a long time, so we want to come and have a look!"

Tufiksi Abu Hamad, the leader of this team, was ordered to come to check the movements of this group of people.

Ever since this huge fleet entered Mugudushu, it had already been discovered—swaggeringly, without any intention of hiding its whereabouts.

However, Abu Mahad still knows something about the situation of his own navy—yes, but it is basically the same as none...

To put it more bluntly, the entire Ottoman Empire did not have any navy at all, only some pirates clamoring to threaten Europe!

It would be more reliable to expect these rubbish guys to take the initiative to face this fleet of twelve warships than to expect the true god to come forward directly...

But this fleet, which made everyone feel terrified, sailed all the way to the ruins of the Suez Canal, and then put down a team of more than a thousand people, without any other actions, it really made everyone feel a little touched Out of mind.

It was precisely because of this that Abu Hamad was sent out with hundreds of cavalrymen under him to check the situation.

Seeing that someone on the opposite side could communicate in Ottoman Turkish, Abu Mahad couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's good to be able to communicate, as long as you can communicate, then you can figure out the purpose of their coming, and you don't need to rush up and desperately in the first place.

After hearing that the person on the opposite side wanted to see the remains of the Suez Canal, Abu Mahad felt even more relieved.

It's just a canal that is constantly being used and then abandoned again. Let them see what can be missing?

After first showing a big smile, Abu Mahad said: "If you want to take a look at the canal, there is no problem!

But you have to tell me, where are you from, who are you, and why do you want to see the canal?

At the same time, in order to ensure your safety, I can send two hundred cavalry to follow you to see, I hope you will not refuse! "

Li Chengyan nodded, and said: "We are from Daming, we came here from the far east, and we came here just to see the canal, or to see if there is any possibility of digging the canal again—of course, we Silver can be paid!

In addition, you are willing to send cavalry to accompany you, and we are willing to accept it. We hope that your cavalry can guarantee our safety! "

Abu Mahad nodded and said: "Of course! As long as you don't make any misleading actions, your safety will be guaranteed!

However, you still have to wait here patiently, waiting for me to report and see what my senior officers will decide. "

Li Chengyan nodded in agreement, then turned his head and said, "Set up camp for now, and get in touch with these barbarians.

In addition, let the brothers stay on guard, don't let these barbarians rush over and wipe us out? "

Fu Wenyi said: "Lord Li, don't worry, even if there are several times more barbarians, it doesn't matter."

Abu Mahad was even more happy when he saw that this group of Ming people were really going to rest and accepted his proposal to send troops to accompany him. Dang even took his confidant back to report the news to his superiors.

The upper-ranking officers who got the news also breathed a sigh of relief.

Facing the enemies on land, no one would be afraid or shrink back, but facing such a huge fleet, no matter who it was, they probably would feel a little uneasy.

PS: The first update of 4000 words is here.

Chapter 671 Don't you see the business of Shang Zhou?

It wasn't just Abu Mahad who came back, but Suleiman, the governor of Cairo, was also with him.

After hearing Abu Mahad's report, the governor-general, who had the same name as the tenth sultan of the Ottoman Empire, became interested in this group of Ming people.

No one can last forever, and no empire can last forever.

Suleiman could see very clearly that although the current Ottoman Empire is still powerful, there is a turbulent undercurrent under the calm surface, and big problems may suddenly erupt at any time.

In fact, after the destruction of the "last Roman Empire" Byzantine Empire, the Ottoman Empire has already begun to decline.

Even the invincible army began to show signs of decadence.

Suleiman is only the consul of Cairo City, and the only way he can think of is to reopen the Suez Canal, hoping that through this canal, it can stimulate Ottoman's somewhat depressed economy.

However, he is neither the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire nor the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire. Although the idea of ​​reopening the Suez Canal is good, no one agrees with him.

Neither the holy Murad IV nor the present trash Ibrahim I agree with this view.

Even, if it wasn't for his origin in Ascari, I'm afraid that the best outcome for him would be to be dismissed from all positions, or worse, he might be burned to death or stoned to death.
