Valley Emperor
Vol 2 Chapter 2146: Suez Canal opens
In order to stimulate the initiative of the people of the Tang Dynasty, the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also hinted that what kind of land will be given to the Tartars in the future depends on the performance of the Tartars themselves. There is a real chance to get the British Isles, but if you do it in a normal way, you may be thrown into a barren place in the future.
Even in Africa, there are good and bad places!
Although the Datang people still did not give a clear answer, this promise was enough to make the Tatars work hard.
Because of the promise of the Tang people, it means that they will have a retreat in the future. The difference is only the quality of the retreat, but it should not be completely wiped out like other natives.
No matter how bad it is, go to the Gulf of Guinea in the future!
It's better than extermination, isn't it!
To this end, although the Tatars continued to pull the Tang's diplomats to various pleas, trying to get a better place, especially the British Isles, but the other side also began to prepare for a new round of war.
In addition, they also sent an expedition to Africa through the channels of Datang people, mainly to inspect the Gulf of Guinea region, but also to other places in Africa. They will take a ship of Datang people to travel from Northwest Africa to At the beginning, I will visit the African region all the way, and finally will bypass South Africa and go to the east coast of Africa.
But so far, the Tatars are not very interested in the east coast of Africa, not because the place is not good, but because that place is bound to be strictly monitored by the Tang Dynasty.
They know the twelve countries in Central Africa, and now they can't even build a sampan. Compared with the Kingdom of Denmark and Morocco in West Africa, the Tang Dynasty also allowed them to build a sailboat and the like.
This is because the east coast of Africa still faces the Indian Ocean, and now the Indian Ocean is regarded as an inland sea by the Tang people.
At the same time, the West Asia Peninsula in the West Asia region is now the territory of Datang. Although the place is full of sand and there are not many people, Datang still does not want to see indigenous people go, so the blockade of the coastline is very strict.
In order to prevent the indigenous people from going to sea, and then sneaking to the West Asian Peninsula or Egypt, or other areas, the Datang Empire simply adopted a one-size-fits-all policy, directly prohibiting the twelve Central African countries from developing shipbuilding and navigation.
You can do whatever you like on land, but you can't go out to sea!
The upper-level Tatars of the Tang Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom were still a little ambitious. They didn’t want to be like the Twelve Central African countries. In the end, they could only be confined to the African land and could not even go out of the sea.
In West Africa, although the conditions are worse, the supervision of Datang people is not so severe.
Especially the Tatars also know that the Suez Canal dug by the Tang people is about to open. It is rumored that it can pass 10,000 tons of sea ships. In this way, the routes along the African coast, especially West Africa, are even less important.
And just because it is not important, Datang people's supervision will be relatively loose, and there will be room for their future development of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, although the delegation of the Tang Dynasty and the Golden State will eventually move aside both West Africa and East Africa, if they can only go to Africa in the end, they will choose West Africa instead of East Africa.
The question now is, where to choose in West Africa?
West Africa is also quite large, from Morocco in Northwest Africa, to the Kingdom of Denmark, and then all the way south to the Gulf of Guinea region, to the coastal areas of Central and West Africa, and then to South Africa.
Well, don't think about South Africa, it is already the territory of the Datang people. In order to control this area and prevent the infiltration of the indigenous people, the Datang people all build the border wall along the Atlantic coast to the Indian Ocean coast. It is rumored that this border The total length of the wall is more than 1,800 kilometers.
The generation of the border wall has set up a no-man's land with a depth of more than 300 kilometers.
Simply insane!
The Tatars sent expeditions to Africa to prepare for the future.
But this does not mean that they are willing to accept going to Africa. They are still working hard. The representative of the Shunyi Dynasty tribute, but every three days, they visit the diplomats of the Tang Dynasty, express their loyalty, complain, and hope to be able to settle down in the future. The land changed from Africa to the British Isles region.
What's interesting is that the Kingdom of Suez and the Kingdom of England in the British Isles do not know that the high-level officials of the Tang Dynasty are trying to obtain their land.
The transactions between the Datang Golden Kingdom and the Datang Empire are all secret transactions, and there is even no clear agreement between the two sides, only some verbal agreements.
Anyway, there is no need to make any agreement for this kind of thing, because no matter what the agreement is, it still depends on the thoughts of Datang people.
If the people of Datang are unwilling, they can make some kind of agreement, contracts and the like are useless.
However, the world still saw that Datang Jinguo quickly completed preparations for war. In the spring and March of the 46th year of Xuanping, the army of 300,000 Datang Jinguo divided into two directions and entered the Ottoman Kingdom area.
The situation in the Ottoman Kingdom, which was already chaotic, was turned upside down.
The Ottoman Kingdom is very chaotic now. Several internal Pashas and the royal family are fighting against each other. The Safi Dynasty in the east is also fighting with them, and now the Tatars are heading south again.
In this case, the Ottoman Kingdom will become history, which is a high probability.
But the high-level people in the Ottoman kingdom, whether it is the royal family or the Pashas, are naturally unwilling to sit still. They are suitable to unite with foreign enemies to deal with other families, and sometimes unite to deal with the Tatars or Safis.
All in all, it's calling!
And in the end who is the winner?
Nonsense, it must be the Datang Empire!
I didn't see these people fighting, and they all used weapons and equipment produced by the Tang Dynasty!
Whether it is an arquebus or a flintlock gun, a flash cap and a percussion gun, or a variety of smoothbore guns, and even the swords and plates in cold weapons, most of them were produced by the Tang Dynasty.
Datang Arms Trading Company has been busy in the past few years. In the 46th year of Xuanping, the business was even more busy, busy transporting weapons and ammunition to several Ottoman towns, busy transporting weapons and ammunition to the Tatars, busy Transport weapons and ammunition to the Persians.
Datang Arms Trading Company, that alone supplies the armies of many indigenous countries and vassal towns!
Due to the busy business and huge transportation volume, Datang Arms Trading Company is now paying more and more attention to the opening of the Suez Canal.
Several years ago, the Datang Suez Canal Company announced that the Suez Canal would be opened in the 46th year of Xuanping.
Last year, ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ also issued an announcement saying that most of the main works of Suez and Hewas have been completed, and the canal will definitely open next year.
But now the spring of Xuanping's 46th year has ended, and summer has begun, and the Suez Canal has not yet opened, so the attention of the outside world is getting closer and closer.
Even Datang Chaobao made several special reports on the construction of the Suez Canal and its future prospects this year.
Once the Suez Canal is opened, it will greatly shorten the sea voyage from East Asia to Europe!
Everyone knows this fact, so everyone is waiting!
Among the people's close attention and expectation, on May 16, Xuanping 46 years, the Datang Suez Canal Company finally issued an announcement that at present the canal has completed a comprehensive main project and all the main supporting projects have also been completed. is in the final closing stages.
If nothing else, the canal will officially open on June 15th next month!
