Li Zhaotong also knew that after the death of Uruz Reis, it was his younger brother Zizel Reis who succeeded him as Sultan of Algiers.

Later, Sizir Reis incorporated the Barbary Pirate Kingdom into the Ottoman Empire, which became the weapon of the 10th Ottoman Sultan Suleiman Magnificent's expedition to the west.

Suleiman the Magnificent canonized Sizl Reis as an admiral of the Ottoman Empire and gave him the title "Hyreddin", which means "virtue of trust", and he inherited the title of "Barbarossa" of Uruz Laces, who later became known as "Barbarossa Hayreddin".

Sizir Reis also lived up to the trust of Suleiman the Magnificent, who made immortal contributions to the strength of the Ottoman Empire, and later became the marshal of the Ottoman Empire.

This pirate king completely annihilated the combined fleets of Italy and Spain, inflicted misery on the fleets of Christian countries, seriously weakened the hegemony of Europeans in the Mediterranean, and made Europeans have to pay huge war reparations to the Ottoman Empire to apologize.

His most glorious era is known as the "Age of Great Pirates".

One person dominates an era, but imagine how legendary this pirate king is.

Li Zhaotong knew through "memory", and that's all, but he really didn't know about Uruz Reis's acceptance of the Mamluk Sultan Gaitbe's funding, let alone that Uruz Reis had also come to Daming.

However, the other party has appeared in front of him, so he will believe it! Just as this is the butterfly effect, there is no need to spend a life advisory system.

As Uruz Reis said, sometimes it is enough to know the outcome of something, and there is no need to delve into the process of the matter.

However, regarding the whereabouts of the fleet of Sizil Reis and Uruz Reis, it is necessary to know, otherwise, if a legendary pirate king like Sizil Reis wanders around the Ming Dynasty, his plan to open the sea may be hindered.

Therefore, Li Zhaotong opened his mouth and asked:

"Mr. Uruz, has your brother, Zizel Reis, also come to me?"

"No, he's still in the Mediterranean."

Uruz Reis replied very frankly, he was a little afraid of Li Zhaotong, a saint's son, and Li Zhaotong gave him the feeling as if he was not wearing clothes in front of Li Zhaotong, and there was no secret at all.

So, he was lying flat and laughing.

His answer was true, and if Li Zhaotong had been willing to spend his life checking the system, he would have known that it would take until 1503 for Uruz Reis and Sizel Reis to act in partnership.

"And where is your fleet docked?" Li Zhaotong continued to ask.

"Near Tianjin Wei."

"Then how did you get your corn seeds, and dare to be so sure of the yield of them, that you even swear by your faith?"

Although Uruz Reis is a legend, it is impossible that this Uruz Reis is really the chosen son of the gods who guided him to send corn seeds to the East, right?

Therefore, Li Zhaotong still couldn't understand this question, and when he saw that Uruz Reis had a good attitude, he simply asked again.

This time, Uruz Reis, who was lying flat and mocking, replied:

"Because my lookout was a member of Columbus's fleet, and he was imprisoned with me in the prison of Bodrum because of his crimes, and then I managed to escape, and when I saw that he was a talent, I took him out with me.

This time he came to the Ming Dynasty, which was also advocated by him, because he had read "The Travels of Marco Polo" and heard that the Orient was full of wealth, and that he had told me about the yield of corn in the name of their God, and that as for the corn seeds, we had obtained them by robbing a merchant ship in the Red Sea. ”

"And where is this lookout now?"

"On the ships of my fleet! He was responsible for picking me up, but unfortunately, you arrested me before I could get the goods I wanted. ”

"You didn't think you're coming from the Persian Gulf, are you? Rather, it departed from the Red Sea, right? ”

The Mamluk Dynasty was an Iqta feudal state in Egyptian history, and its territory was on both sides of the Red Sea, and it did not expand into the Persian Gulf region at all.

Moreover, the corn kernels taken out by Uruz Reis were still robbed on the Red Sea.

"Yes, we set out from the Red Sea." Uruz Reis continued to answer truthfully.

"Nephew, you wait first, I have a very important question for him."

Li Zhaotong was about to continue to ask questions, but Emperor Hongzhi took the first step to say what he thought, and then, he looked at Uruz Reis and asked:

"You said you robbed a merchant ship and got corn, but is it all corn? If so, is this corn still there? ”

Emperor Hongzhi was most concerned about the issue of corn.

He supported Uruz Reis by robbing a merchant ship, and soon he had a bold idea, that is, was the merchant ship robbed by Uruz Reis all loaded with corn?

If yes, that's great!

If most of this corn is still there, it's perfect!

Because this means that the corn kernels of this large ship are enough to plant a large piece of land, which is extremely beneficial to the promotion of corn and can greatly shorten the time for corn promotion.

However, Emperor Hongji's idea fell through.

Because Uruz Reis's answer was:

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I'm sorry that the merchant ship that was robbed by us was not a merchant ship loaded with corn, in fact, there was very little corn in the entire Europa region.

After we robbed the merchant ship, my lookout found the cob, told me that the corn was very yielding, and suggested that I collect the kernels, and that I take them as seeds and take them back to our base, Lagulet, to plant.

Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, if it weren't for the sake of saving my life, I would not have dedicated such precious seeds to you, and I hope you can cherish these seeds well. ”

"I will."

Emperor Hongji replied firmly.

As an emperor of an agrarian society, Emperor Hongzhi's most important thing is the issue of grain production, and now that he has obtained the seed of corn, how can he not cherish it?

"So, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, can I get out of here safely?"

Uruz Reis asked the question that was most of his concern.

He's Uruz Reis, and he has a great future! He didn't want to be planted in Daming.

"Can't!"

"Can't!"

Li Zhaotong and Zhu Houzhao shouted out almost at the same time.

Li Zhaotong's purpose was to watch the treasure of Uruz Reis's human form get away with it, and he also wanted to obtain his ship, logbook, navigation skills, and sailing experience from Uruz Reis!

As for Zhu Houzhao, he purely wanted to oppose Emperor Hongzhi.

Why, the person he Zhu Houzhao arrested, the dog emperor said to let it go, then he Zhu Houzhao is so faceless!

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao did not agree.

"Since the crown prince and Li Zhaotong don't agree to leave, then you can continue to stay here!"

People are greedy, Emperor Hongzhi got corn seeds from Uruz Reis, and suddenly, he began to get Longwangshu, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cinchona trees, he hasn't gotten it yet!

Although he is a foreigner, there is no doubt that this foreigner is a talent, so Emperor Hongzhi wants to leave him behind and go to the Golden Continent for the Ming Dynasty to find potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cinchona trees to shine.

Therefore, after Emperor Hongzhi finished saying this, he glanced at Li Zhaotong.

Li Zhaotong immediately understood, and nodded slightly towards Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi also nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Zhu Houzhao and said:

"Prince, I have pardoned his crimes, you must not treat him badly, you must treat him well, and fulfill the friendship of the landlord for me."

Zhu Houzhao is a talented person, no matter how dull he is, he also understands what his father means.

"Isn't it house arrest? Simple! ”

Zhu Houzhao said secretly in his heart, and then replied very cheerfully:

"Okay, Father! Erchen will surely make Uruz Reis happy. ”

"Okay! Then I will leave this matter to you. ”

Emperor Hongzhi has always believed in Zhu Houzhao's promise, and this time, he didn't believe it either, even if Zhu Houzhao understood what he meant, he still didn't believe it.

Emperor Hongzhi was able to "hand" this matter to Zhu Houzhao so confidently, completely because he trusted Li Zhaotong, Li Zhaotong first understood the meaning of Emperor Hongzhi, and Emperor Hongzhi dared to hand over the task to Zhu Houzhao.

Because Emperor Hongzhi believed that with Li Zhaotong by his side, Zhu Houzhao could get things done. He knew very well that his son was very face-saving for Li Zhaotong.

Otherwise, Emperor Hongzhi really didn't dare to hand it over to Zhu Houzhao.

"Virtuous nephew, you come with me, I have something to ask you."

……

Li Zhaotong followed Emperor Hongzhi until he walked out of the East Palace and came to the Huagai Palace, and asked Xiao Jing and others to retreat, and Emperor Hongzhi said:

"Virtuous nephew, this corn planting matter, I thought to myself, among the people who can be found in the whole world, except for the Gentile who is a lookout, you may be the only one who knows best, I don't trust Gentiles, let alone a Gentile who was born as a pirate, so I have to ask you for this corn planting matter."

After saying that, Emperor Hongzhi handed the bag full of corn kernels he had received from Uruz Reis to Li Zhaotong.

Li Zhaotong took the heavy bag seriously, and then said solemnly:

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the little nephew will work hard to cultivate these corns, and breed more seeds as soon as possible, so that the people of my Ming Dynasty can get rid of the predicament of not having enough to eat as soon as possible."

"Well, I believe you."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly, and then, Emperor Hongzhi asked a question that Li Zhao agreed to not expect.
