In a castle in Colombo, southwest of the island of Ceylon, Adar is enjoying his good life.

He was the lord of the Persian city on the island of Ceylon, and his ancestors came to Ceylon to sell gems, spices, etc., and finally settled here in Ceylon.

With the increasing number of Persians coming to Ceylon, they eventually established the Lion City here.

With the Lion City as the center, the Persians also occupied a piece of land on the island, but the Persians and Middle Easterners who came to the island were mainly merchants, mainly to sell gems and spices here on the island.

However, in the past two years, with the arrival of the Ming merchant ships, they have also begun to do some resale transactions.

Sell myrrh, frankincense, ivory, coral, pearls, etc. from Africa to the Ming people, and then sell silk, porcelain, glass products, cloth, and sugar to the Middle East, Persia, and Tianzhu.

It was only by virtue of such a simple transit trade that the Persians here in Ceylon made a lot of money and quickly became rich.

Compared to the gradual sale of gems and spices, the profits of the transit trade are simply too great.

The silk, porcelain, glass products and sugar brought by the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty were very sought-after in the Middle East and Persia, and the profits were more than ten times.

This made Adar, the lord of the Lion City, more and more comfortable in his small life, and the collection of taxes here in the Lion City alone made him start to think about building a Persian empire on the island of Ceylon.

"The hateful Portuguese, who have blocked the Persian Gulf and sunk our merchant ships, want to monopolize the spice trade in India."

Adar's face was full of anger, he had just received news that the Portuguese who had recently arrived in Calicut, India, were very arrogant, not only attacked and occupied Calicut, but also began to blockade the Persian Gulf, expelling Middle Eastern and Persian merchants, intending to monopolize the spice trade on the Indian side.

This was great bad news for merchants in Persia and the Middle East.

They have been making a lot of money on this trade route.

Spices in India were very cheap, but as long as they could be shipped to the Mediterranean and sold to Venetian merchants, the price could immediately multiply several times.

Now the Portuguese appeared here and drove them out very domineeringly, sank their merchant ships, blockaded the Persian Gulf, and sent ships to patrol the shipping routes.

This is tantamount to cutting off their financial means.

The spice trade is not the most important, and now with the emergence of the Ming people, the trade between the Ming people and the East Ming from the East silk, tea, porcelain, glass products and sugar slowly replaced spices and became the most popular trade commodities.

Now that the Portuguese are doing this, let alone getting rich, if you want to go back to Persia in the future, you will have to risk being sunk by the Portuguese.

"Damn, greedy Portuguese~"

"I curse you to Hellfire!"

Thinking of this, Adar couldn't help but scold.

Originally, he had already planned that if he continued to develop like this for another two years, and tens of thousands of people had migrated from the Persian side, he would establish his own kingdom here on the island of Ceylon.

But now, everything seems to be like a dream.

was done by the Portuguese like this, let alone establishing their own kingdom, and the financial route was cut off in the future.

Adar couldn't help but brush his beautiful beard, and he swore with his beard that he would teach the Portuguese a hard lesson, so that they would know how good the Persians were.

Just thinking of the Portuguese warship, he couldn't help but tremble slightly.

From the Persian merchants who had just arrived in Ceylon, they knew that the Portuguese warships were very terrible, the artillery was very fierce, and perhaps only the Ming Dynasty could defeat these Portuguese.

"It's a big deal, it's a big deal!"

At this moment, someone hurriedly walked in, and before they arrived, they yelled anxiously.

Adar was touching his beard, and when he heard the words of the visitor, he couldn't help but shudder, and pulled his hand, and several of his well-groomed beards were torn off.

"It's better if something happens, or I'll kill you to honor my noble beard."

Adal was immediately angry, and hurriedly looked at a full-body mirror, looking carefully, distressed.

Persians and Middle Easterners value their beards the most, and they need to be carefully groomed and not disordered.

"On the sea, there are many, many ships on the sea~"

The person who came was suddenly frightened, and said with some stammering.

"A lot of ships?"

When Adar heard this, his eyes widened slightly, and he couldn't even care about his beard, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of ship is it?" ”

"The ships of the Ming people, so many, so many, there are hundreds of big ships!"

"Da Ming?"

When Adar heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It's a Ming boat, it's fine, as long as it's not a Portuguese ship.

The Ming people are different from the Portuguese, the Ming people are more honest in business, and they are not arrogant or domineering, although they have strong force, but they will never use force easily.

His favorite is the Ming people.

Every time a merchant ship of the Ming Dynasty came over, it could bring him great wealth.

This time, when he heard that there were hundreds of big ships coming, he was immediately happy, and the hundreds of big ships could carry a lot of goods, and when the time came, he could collect a tax again, and then buy the goods of the Ming people at a land price, and then sell them at a high price.

Then he sold the gems purchased at the land price on the island to the Ming people at a high price, and he could earn a lot of silver and gold with such a simple transaction.

"Maybe you can consider buying some warships and artillery from the Ming people, so that you can teach the Portuguese some lessons, and let them know how good our Persians are."

Adar couldn't help but think so in his heart.

"Boom!"

But before he could walk out of his castle, there was a roar outside.

"Huh~"

Then, with a whistling sound from far and near, cannonballs rained from the sky into the small lion city.

Suddenly, countless screams rang out in this lion city, and the panicked woman even made terrifying screams, and the houses everywhere were turned into ruins in the blink of an eye under this terrible artillery attack.

"What the hell is going on?"

Adal's head is buzzing, who the hell is attacking us?

"It's a Ming person, it's a Ming person!"

"They're firing at us!"

Soon, someone came in a hurry, sweating profusely and said very anxiously.

"Da Ming?"

"What are they firing at us for no reason?"

Adar was dumbfounded, the fog of the steamed buns.

In his impression, the Ming people are gentle and elegant, like a gentleman, even if he collects more taxes when he collects them, the Ming people often do not have any opinions.

The Ming people gave him the feeling that they were very easy to get along with and that they were also very easy to bully.

But now, the Ming people actually attacked them, and almost without asking the reason, they directly fired at them.

"Where did we offend the Ming people?"

Adar's head was buzzing, and he didn't care about the danger, so he hurried to the castle wall, and suddenly saw that the big ships on the sea were in formation.

The sides of the battleship were aimed at the Lion City, accompanied by billowing smoke, cannonballs whistling, and at the same time, in the port outside the Lion City, the ships of the Ming people were mooring, docking, and groups of Ming troops came down from these ships.

These Ming troops were well-trained, and after disembarking from the ship, they lined up in a neat line, like a block, and occupied the port in a blink of an eye.

They were extremely well-armed, wearing armor and helmets, most of them carrying swords in their hands, and a few carrying muskets and bows and arrows.

At the same time, the cavalry quickly dismounted, assembled in the open space, and then quickly sailed towards the castle, firmly surrounded the Lion City, and rushed to kill people when they saw them.

"It's really a Ming person~"

Adar is a little unbelievable, the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty is very easy to recognize, and the ships of the Ming Dynasty are also easy to recognize, it will not be wrong, these are the Ming people.

"Castle Lord~"

"It's a Ming person~"

"There are so many of them, what are we going to do now?"

Someone hurriedly came to Adar's side and shouted out in a hurry, there were too many Ming people.

Hundreds of ships, a group of Ming troops disembarked from the ship, and soon the Lion City was firmly surrounded, and the Persians in the port outside did not even block their wave of attacks, and soon killed and killed, and the captured became prisoners.

The warships of the Ming people are still bombarding, and the whistling cannonballs make people can't help but change color.

Good manners, for no reason, the Ming people actually attacked them, which they were all puzzled about, and the Persians seemed to really have no sin against them.

This small lion city, the city walls are very short and not strong, how can it resist the attack of the Ming people.

"Let everyone prepare for battle, pass the order, everyone come to the city to fight, and they must hold it."

Adar was also panicked, at this moment, he hoped that it was the Portuguese who came to attack, at least the Portuguese were very few in number, and they still hoped that they could block their attack.

But these Ming people in front of them, their number is too many.

Hundreds of big ships, a steady stream of people began to land, the Lion City was soon surrounded by them, relying on these thousands of Persians in the Lion City, what did they use to resist the attack of the Ming people?

But even if they can't stop it, they still have to resist, they can't just be tied up, once the Ming people attack it, who knows if the Ming people will kill them all.

At this moment, he finally knew the horror of the Ming people, the Ming people were definitely not as gentle as they had seen before, and they also had a murderous and terrifying side.
