vs 1021 Undercurrents in the city of Cairo
The men of the city were mobilized and gathered outside the city, but, as Katabor Pasha said, "There are people in the city who are half-hearted, want to eat inside and outside, and shelter the Chinese", there are indeed people who are sheltering the Chinese, and they are also big clans!
In the city of Cairo, a mansion by the Nile River, there is a garden inside, planted with hundreds of olive trees, date palms, pomegranate trees, lemon trees, Egyptian banyan trees, etc., lush green, sheltering the heat outside!
In Egypt, the climate characteristics of mild winters, scorching summers, and high sunshine intensity make it possible to say that you are in a trench in Egypt, looking at whether you have more trees or fewer trees in your house!
There are many trees in this house, the buildings are all hidden in the greenery, and the servants are neatly and decently dressed, which fully shows the grandeur of the big family.
In the inner room, a dignified old man was sitting on the soft collapse, and a young man with a luxuriously dressed and calm bearing came in and said softly: "Grandfather, the Chinese friends are all settled!" The elder brother also led his people to fight against the Chinese, and according to your instructions, if things don't go well, he will immediately withdraw his troops! ”
"Good!" The old man asked, "How are the Chinese friends?" ”
"It's calm, they're very calm, it seems that they have long expected today!" "They thanked us for our help and said that their lives have been dedicated to the leader, to the country, and that they are ready to sacrifice for the leader and the country!" ”
The old man's name was Abdullah al-Faisal, the head of the Abdullah family in Cairo, he was over seventy years old, but he was still in good spirits.
The young man who spoke to him was his grandson Ghassani, who told his grandfather: "The governor answered the call of the people, and the people continued to assemble to the east of the city, and the number was very large, at least fifty thousand. ”
Cairo is the largest city in Africa, the most developed city, and it is not a matter of calling 100,000 people out.
"Hmm!" Faisal nodded.
Xiang Grandfather said: "The city defense army has been deployed all over the city, and there are hundreds of people near us, it seems that they are targeting us!" ”
"Hmm!" Faisal was noncommittal, and when he saw that his grandson looked worried, he comforted him and said, "It's okay, they don't have any evidence, and we also have manpower to protect our homeland!" Of course, they said that it must be so, and they all said that Faisal and the Chinese are so good that they are brothers! ”
A mocking smile appeared on his face, shrugged, and sneered!
Gasani hesitated, gritted his teeth and said: "The Turks have not seen a decline, and it is not necessarily wise for us to bet so early!" ”
Egypt was under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, and the Ottoman Empire was still in full swing!
In 1571, the Spanish navy defeated the Turkish navy at the Battle of Lepanto, but the Grand Vizier Sokuru Memet Pasha said to the Venetian envoy after the battle: "You have only slightly scorched my beard--- referring to the Ottoman naval fleet, and I have cut off your arms--- referring to the Turks who have seized Cyprus, and my beard can grow, but you have no ability to grow another arm!" ”
Compared to the situation at that time, the words of the Grand Vizier were not unreasonable, only one winter after the Battle of Lepanto, the Turks built a completely new fleet, even larger than the fleet before the Battle of Lepanto!
The power of the Turks is so great that it can be said that all the tribes in the jurisdiction are trembling and living, Faisal ordered the shelter of those Chinese, and Ghassani thought that the risk was too great, and it was not possible to share in the tribal punishment!
"By the time the two sides decide the winner and loser to place a bet, it's too late!" Faisal actually spoke Chinese: "The icing on the cake is better than sending charcoal in the snow!" ”
And Ghassani actually understood, and replied in Chinese: "Grandfather, the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, the pile is higher than the shore, the current will be turbulent, we shot too early,!" ”
Although the Chinese language of the two is not pure, it is amazing that they can say such classic words!
There is a Chinese teacher in this house, who is an authentic Chinese!
The three most important grandparents and grandchildren in the family can speak Chinese, the most important stewards all know Chinese, the family has a lot of Chinese elements, they drink Chinese tea, wear Chinese silk, use Jingdezhen tableware, put Jingdezhen floor bottles, and even have a family armed with 500 Chinese flintlock pistols!
With this force, even the governor Katabor Pasha was afraid of him, so he could not act rashly without real evidence, even if he suspected them of being Chinese.
The reason why Faisal is extremely pro-China is that fifteen years ago, the eldest son of the old man Faisal, the father of the Ghassani brothers, and the leader of the Abdullah family, Malwang, died unexpectedly.
He judged the situation and decided to give up the old family business and actively develop trade with the Chinese, he formed a merchant fleet, crossed the Strait of Malacca to find the Chinese to get the goods directly, and made a huge profit, and then completely fell to the Chinese!
The world is smoking, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, in addition to interests, there is also a light heart!
Yes, Marwan's death was not an accident, but a mastermind behind the scenes, including local officials in Cairo City and other clans, in order to eliminate the talented Marwan and steal the interests of the Abdullah family.
Hehe, everyone said that they were brothers when they met, and they stabbed the most in the back!
The men forced Faisal to associate with the infidels and stomped on him behind his back and said he was friendly with the infidels!
His family's experience can really be written into a storybook and made a movie in the future.
Faisal had been to the South-East for a whole month.
He saw the desperate efforts of the Chinese people in the southeast to seize the day, the prosperity of the southeast country and the rapid change of society, and the stability and unity in the southeast and the happy life of the people!
The southeast country is like the rising sun, like the flower buds that bloom in spring, and like the roaring forest of the milk tiger, which will be indispensable in the future!
Faisal figured it out, and the whole city of Cairo said that Faisal and the Chinese were brothers, well, then be brothers with the Chinese!
He actively traded with the Chinese and did business in partnership.
This time the Chinese army attacked Cairo, most of them had already evacuated in advance, and the few Chinese who remained in Cairo were actually spies, and they were reluctant to evacuate, so they were sheltered by Faisal.
Of course, Faisal would not be stupid enough to take the Chinese into his own home, that is not a self-confession, he used his family henchmen to disguise the Chinese and hide them in the slums of the city, where the earthen houses are so dense that if there is no insider, he will send 10,000 people to search for ten days and no one can be found.
The old man is old and has a plan, there are three Ghassani brothers, Ghassani accompanies him, the eldest brother Said led part of the family's armed forces and pretended to serve the Turks, while the second brother Zuhail did not show up in public, and in fact he was already working for the Chinese in Suez City!
In this way, all the families in Cairo are afraid of the Abdullah family, and they are not stupid, they will leave a line of life and see each other in the future, so Faisal sheltered the Chinese, and no one denounced him for the time being.
Not only the Abdullah family, there are still many people in the city waiting for this opportunity to change the world!
