On March 12, 1650, spring returned to the earth, and the northern hemisphere was full of new ideas.

Suez City by the Red Sea, the port is full of ships, porters are like crucian carp, and goods are piled up like mountains, a busy scene.

Suez City was originally called Port Ibrahim, which is the name of the Turks, Persians, and Arabs.

When the Chinese came, they called this place Suez City.

Why?

I don't know!

Even the Chinese themselves are confused, saying that the official nautical map is clearly Suez City, and that's what it is called.

The Chinese are powerful, they control the trade of the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea, their goods are delivered by boats, their silk is the clothing of the clothes of the Turkish dignitaries, the noblewomen are covered in Chinese silk, the salt and sugar they produce are fine and white, no country or region can do such quality! Their tea has completely taken over the market of the Ottoman Empire......

Their goods are simply irresistible, the Chinese say that this place is Suez City, that is, Suez City, and over time, everyone does not say Port Ibrahim, but Suez Port.

On this day, the shepherd Habibi was grazing on the hillside, and he raised a flock of goats, which fed and grazed and licked rock salt on the hillside all day long.

The weather was fine, the sea breeze was blowing, and Habibie felt very comfortable.

To wait for the goats to grow up and sell them to make a lot of money, the nobles and Chinese in the city are willing to pay a high price for this kind of goat, saying that they have eaten the sheep in captivity.

Suez City belongs to the territory of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and the Turkish cattle are coaxed, and no one looks down on outsiders, they look down on the red-haired fan, and the Chinese are also disliked by them.

It can be called an eye-high overhead, and anyone who sees a Turk will not be comfortable.

Turkey holds the land, this trade between the red hair and the Chinese, if you want to pass by, it will be dragged out, collect high taxes and all kinds of BS, I will send taxes to you Turks to send money, you not only do not treat me as a grandfather but also call me a grandson!

The red-haired fan is super unhappy, which has become one of the reasons why they opened the Age of Discovery.

But the Turks also need goods, and the goods of the East and the West meet here, and Suez City is very prosperous, and the people in the city are quite rich.

Habibie was looking down on the harbor below, and he didn't notice that there seemed to be anything unusual about the harbor, and he saw the vast Red Sea, which was surrounded by rolling hills.

Although the Red Sea is an inland sea, it is the sea in Habibie's eyes.

In a trance, his eyes widened, and he even wiped his eyes with his hands.

The sails are a thousand shadows, covering the sea!

Habibie had a good eye, and he swore that he had never seen so many gunboats and other ships, and he recognized the Chinese flag!

It was a formidable fleet, but Habibie thought it was a creepy sight, and he knew that the Chinese were infidels!

Their arrival will definitely not be a good thing!

And in the place where you can see the sea surface on the beach of Suez City, the people seem to be frozen, watching the huge fleet composed of countless ships of the Chinese fleet on the sea swaying towards the port of Suez City, which is so orderly and beautiful!

But the people of Suez City could do nothing, because in the morning ten Chinese ships came to the shore, and when they reached the dock, a large crowd of Chinese soldiers poured out of the boats and took control of the dock!

As soon as the day dawned, the port fell into the hands of the Chinese.

Suez City was weak, and there were no batteries, let alone a fleet.

The generals of the Southeastern Army plotted the capture of Suez City from a distance of thousands of miles, and did not take the Turks seriously at all.

Similarly, the Turks did not take the Chinese seriously.

In 1453, during the conquest of Constantinople, Turkey's military power reached a new peak.

In the two hundred years since then, the Turks have conquered the east and west, and have achieved the extreme, becoming a great empire spanning Asia, Africa and Europe, and they are bold!

The red-haired fan is on the defensive against them, and all ethnic groups are subservient to them, who dares to provoke Turkey!

They didn't expect the Chinese to dare to attack them, so they didn't prepare for war.

In fact, the rumor of the Chinese making big moves has also reached the ears of the Turks, which cannot be hidden!

After the Hongmaofan forces retreated to Africa, trade was reopened, and Turkish, Persian, and Arab merchants came, as long as they were trade veterans, ships that could easily come and go from the sea, and people from all over the country knew that the Chinese in the southeast were planning a thunder move, and they reported it to the Turkish officials.

A great empire also inevitably sank after hundreds of years, they were slow to react, they didn't take it seriously, Suez City was underarmed, and it was easily won by the Chinese.

On the battleship "Southeast Asia No. 3", which had 76 guns, the fleet commander Hong Xuguan was observing the situation with a telescope, and the young adjutant Lin Sanshui next to him sighed: "Great, Mazu Niangniang bless, the wind is right!" ”

"Not bad!" Hong Xuguan agreed.

The southeast wind blows from the sea and blows the fleet to Suez City in the northwest, which is better!

Lin Sanshui is the fifth adjutant under Hong Xuguan, and generally, as an adjutant around the boss, every once in a while, he will be promoted, and he will be released to serve outside, which is a fast way to be promoted.

Of course, Lin Sanshui is also a quality adjutant who can be the boss, but he said that Mazu Niangniang blessed, and he did have Niangniang's blessing, but more importantly, he was prepared for war!

The intelligence department has been preparing for this landing for more than ten years, such as the direction of the wind, and it has been calculated that during this period of time, eight out of ten years have been blowing southeast winds, so they are fighting at this time!

For this battle, a huge fleet was used, a total of 28 battleships, hundreds of cruisers and corvettes, plus a full 500 transport ships and supply ships, the strength of the army was unprecedented, no wonder the people of Suez City were stunned!

The sail battleship looks majestic, but the speed is slow, and the warrior can't be placed for long, so he can do whatever he wants!

The task of command was handed over to the officer on duty, and Officer Hong Xuan was wandering around the ship, and heard Lin Sanshui talking with an old non-commissioned officer, Lin Sanshui had just been promoted to adjutant, and he was very studious, and he was talking to the old non-commissioned officer about the legend of the "mermaid".

The old non-commissioned officer, who had followed Hong Xuguan on his voyages around the world, could be called a well-informed figure who had been to three oceans and five continents, and he mysteriously recounted the legend of the "mermaid"...... They often appear in the sea when the sky is dark and uncertain, and with her cold and poignant appearance and beautiful singing voice, they confuse the passing boatmen, distract them and lose their direction, and finally sink to the bottom of the sea! ”

"Boy, you have to be careful, you have to be careful when sailing in the future, don't stare at the sea for too long, otherwise you may meet a mermaid, be confused by her, and throw yourself into her arms!" The old non-commissioned officer warned.

"Is there really a mermaid?" Lin Sanshui was stunned.

He turned his head to look at it, saw the chief, and couldn't help asking: "Sir, do you say that there are mermaids in the world?" ”

This question was interesting, and the officers and soldiers around it looked to see how the commander answered.

Hong Xuguan asserted: "Mermaids are also fish!" No, there must be no mermaids in this world, otherwise the Cantonese recipes will leave its cooking method behind! ”

Laugh!

Hong Xuguan couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't care if there is a mermaid or not, but when you are on duty, don't keep your eyes fixed, and you can't get distracted at any time!" ”

He taught his adjutant: "It is necessary to move around from time to time on duty and adjust your posture often!" Don't get distracted, it's going to kill you! “

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir, for your teachings! Lin Sanshui said continuously.

Everyone turned to the topic of Cantonese people eating everything, but no one with malicious intentions, just laughing, because in the southeast, "eating" is praised, even Prime Minister Chen Xinji has said, "Life in the world, is the word eat and drink, the nation that can't eat, has no future for development!" ”

I didn't see everyone taking out all kinds of biscuits, jerky, preserved fruits and other snacks on the warship to eat there, the officers didn't care, even they were chewing!
