Chapter 670: The Master of the World Center

Mekhail is about to be mad - what a mess this is, Shashua and Ozelombu ran away, what are you paying attention to the two of them now? Is your throne important or the two of them paying attention?

Yes, it is possible that the two of them could affect your throne, but that is only a possibility, and it will be a matter for the future.

But the Ming Kingdom is an imminent threat, either the treaty will be implemented, or the death of the country is just around the corner, do you still have the leisure to care about Shashua and Ozelombu?

After settling down, Mekhail continued: "Go to the emperor's honorific title and send an envoy to pay tribute, these are actually easy to do, after all, it is impossible for the Ming Kingdom to come to the royal court to supervise whether you have removed the honorific title."

In short, everything must give way to the stability of the situation now, even if Shashua and Ozelolamb make any moves, as long as they do not affect the stability of the royal court and the country, they will be ignored for the time being. ”

Darosiqiao finally nodded, indicating that he understood.

In fact, Daro Sicho himself knew what the current situation was, but he was a little unacceptable in the face of the sudden departure of Shashua and Ozelombu.

With the return of Mekhail, the whole city of Agra also began to be lively, except for some people who were deliberately released, a large number of East India Company employees were arrested, and without even interrogation, they were directly imprisoned, waiting for all the people to be collected before being handed over to the Ming people.

……

Zheng Zhilong, Li Chengyan and others looked at each other, a little confused.

Sharjahan, the "ruler of the world", has just been scolded, and now there is a "master of three continents and two seas, East and West, and Istanbul, the center of the world"?

Who admits it? Who canonized it? Doesn't it mean that the Ming Dynasty is the center of the world? What the hell are these brutes?

But at present, all I have found is this news, what should I do with these people?

After being silent for a long time, Zheng Zhilong asked, "What should I do?" ”

Li Chengyan smiled bitterly and said, "If you ask me, who should I ask?" If His Majesty and the civil and military ministers in the court knew about this, it would be a lot of fun. ”

Zheng Zhilong said: "I also know that there will be a lot of fun, but what should we do now?" Should there be no such thing, and send an envoy to meet their king, or should he go back and report to His Majesty? ”

Li Chengyan said: "The people of Jinyi Wei have already started to act, and it is estimated that the information here has reached His Majesty's shore." Besides, our mission has nothing to do with this, right? ”

Zheng Zhilong touched his beard and said, "You say, is it possible to find another group of people to kill Sharjahan and come back in this Ottoman country?" ”

After shaking his head, Li Chengyan said, "It's not realistic." Eunuchs who are brave and resourceful like Gonggong Ye are not everywhere, even if they are brave and strategic, I am afraid that they will not be able to make a good calculation like Gonggong Ye.

When the time comes, if you don't die, there will be trouble. ”

Zheng Zhilong snorted and said, "Where did you come from to fight snakes and not die?" Wouldn't it be enough to kill them completely? ”

Li Chengyan sneered: "Yes, just kill them."

But do you think they are the Six Nations? Or when they are all as rubbish as the Mughals?

Even this Ottoman is the same waste as the Mughals, but the Ottomans and the Mughals are connected by land, and if these wastes are combined, what should we do? ”

Zheng Zhilong said: "Then what do you say?" Why don't you negotiate with their king to lease the part of the canal on? ”

Li Chengyan muttered: "It's not impossible to lend, but who knows what Your Majesty thinks in his heart?" Will they attack the Ottomans directly, or will they talk to them about lending? ”

In view of the fact that Emperor Chongzhen has never played cards according to the routine, Li Chengyan is too lazy to guess what Emperor Chongzhen will think.

This master wants to come out of it, and he is about to go crazy if he wants to scare people, and it is hard to guarantee that he will not go crazy and cut people after discovering that someone dares to claim to be the master of the world center.

As for military spending and the army or something, who cares? Even if the silver in the treasury is not enough, the lord's inner money also has silver, and it is not very simple to cut people?

After shaking his head, Li Chengyan shook off these messy thoughts in his mind and said, "In my opinion, let's move on and carefully observe the place that Your Majesty is pointing at on the map."

If it can be turned into a canal, it doesn't matter if it's leased or whatever, this land will have to fall into our hands.

If there is no way to make a canal there, or if the burden is too great, what is the point of us fighting the Ottomans to the death? Aren't the Mughal barbarians cheaper? ”

After summing up for a while, Zheng Zhilong said: "It's okay, anyway, how to explore, it's the business of those civil officials and lords in the Ministry of Industry, and it has little to do with us, as long as we send them to the place, our affairs will be counted." ”

Li Chengyan said with a dark face: "I am also a civil official - besides, dealing with these barbarians is also my business......"

Zheng Zhilong said cheekily: "It's different, it's different." What is our relationship? How can those poor acids compare to you? ”

Seeing that Li Chengyan snorted coldly and didn't speak again, Zheng Zhilong laughed twice and then ordered loudly: "Set sail!" Keep moving! ”

It wasn't until more than half a day later that the fleet led by Zheng Zhilong arrived at the location of the Suez Canal, or the ruins of the canal that had been destroyed.

The officials of the Ministry of Works, who had been shouted out of the cabin, looked at the ruins in front of them with bewildered expressions and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

As you can see from the ruins in front of you, the ruins of the entire canal are about 100 zhang wide.

This means that if the canal is properly opened, it should be able to accommodate six warships with a width of fifteen zhang at the same time.

Gong Fenglan of the Ministry of Industry Langzhong sighed: "If this canal was really built hundreds of years ago, how much would it cost to consume material and civil resources?" ”

Song Yunxian, the right attendant, said: "No matter how much this canal costs, just look at these ruins that he has them, you can know that this canal can be dug again, but I don't know what the situation on the other side looks like?" ”

Seeing Song Yunxian looking at him, Zheng Zhilong said with a confused expression: "What do you think I'm doing?" This is a warship, and we can't fly to the other side to let you see! ”

Song Yunxian hurriedly said: "How is this good?" If you can't see the other side, how do you know if the canal can be re-dug up?

Even if it is forcibly dug up, can this canal still be used? Will there be any bad effects?

For such a large project, if there is no calculation, how much manpower and material resources are wasted? ”

Li Chengyan said: "If you must want to go over and have a look, there are actually two ways.

One is to wait for the winter, go around the Cape of Good Hope, and finally go around to the opposite position to see.

Another way is to abandon the ship and go ashore, let's walk over and observe the situation on the other side, to see if we can dig up again? ”

Song Yunxian arched his hand and said, "Then let's go ashore!" ”

The first method that Li Chengyan said was at all - he obviously wanted to re-dig the canal from here, and then go to England, but now he wants to go around the Cape of Good Hope?

So what's the point? Just go directly to the army by sea and go over to start the battle - as for supplies or something, what does it have to do with the Ministry of Industry?

What Li Chengyan wanted, and it was precisely this effect, was to let these people from the Ministry of Industry land ashore, and then slowly observe through this ruined place.

Zheng Zhilong stopped a few people who wanted to return to the cabin to prepare, and said in a deep voice: "Don't forget, we can run rampant on the sea, but it doesn't mean that you are still rampant when you go ashore."

Since this barbarian country dares to call itself the master of the center of the world, it must also have some strength, and if it seems to be on the shore, will there be something going on? ”

Li Chengyan said: "A soldier from a hundred households will be transferred from the ship, and the lightly armed Jian will go ashore with us and others, unless the army of this barbarian country comes to encircle and suppress, what is the rest afraid of?" ”

After glancing at Li Chengyan, Zheng Zhilong said: "I'll pull out a thousand households for you, even if you encounter the siege of the barbarian army, I can protect you and wait for you to come back!" ”

Li Chengyan smiled: "That's it, thank you a lot!" ”

After nodding to Zheng Zhilong again, Li Chengyan and the others also returned to the cabin to prepare.

The advantage of having a large number of people is once again reflected - it is really easy to find geniuses who are good at languages.

Li Chengyan and others took the interpreter and the entire army of a thousand households to board the bank of the Suez Canal in a small boat.

However, to Li Chengyan's surprise and surprise, there were actually people waiting for him on the opposite side - there were about three or five hundred cavalry opponents, and they had already lined up in formation.

Although Li Chengyan has also seen the scene of marching and fighting, he doesn't know much about the formation of the cavalry, and he probably knows that his own cavalry and foot soldiers are very capable of fighting.

After turning his head to look at the Qianhu beside him, he found that although this Qianhu's expression was solemn, there was no trace of nervousness, and he couldn't help but feel very calm: "The formation of the barbarians on the other side doesn't look like they are going to attack us?" ”

Qianhu Fuwen discussed: "The cavalry on the opposite side is similar to the Tartar cavalry, and the formation put out is also a vigilant formation, not the kind of cavalry charge, so there is no need to be nervous."

Besides, with just a few barbarians on the other side, the strength of our entire Thousand Households is enough to deal with it, even if it is several times more, the brothers can protect you and kill them! ”

After nodding slightly, Li Chengyan signaled the interpreter to shout: "We are from the Ming Kingdom, and I have heard the name of the Suez Canal for a long time, so I want to come and take a look!" ”

Tufiksi Abu Hamad, the leader of the group, was ordered to check on the group.

Ever since this huge fleet entered the Wooden Bone Bundle, it had been discoveredβ€”swaggering, with no intention of hiding its whereabouts.

However, Abu Mahad still knew something about his own navy - yes, but it was basically the same......

To put it more bluntly, the entire Ottoman Empire did not have a navy at all, only a few pirates who clamored to be able to threaten Europe!

It is more reliable to expect these garbage-like fellows to take the initiative to face this fleet of twelve warships, rather than expect the true gods to come forward directly......

And this fleet, which made everyone feel frightened, sailed all the way to the ruins of the Suez Canal, and then put down a team of more than 1,000 people, and there was no other action, which really made everyone a little confused.

It was precisely because of this that Abu Hamad was sent out with hundreds of his cavalry to check on the situation.

Seeing that someone on the other side was able to communicate in Ottoman Turkish, Abu Mahad couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's good to be able to communicate, as long as you can communicate, then you can figure out the purpose of their coming, and you don't need to rush up and fight hard in the first place.

After hearing that the person on the other side wanted to see the remains of the Suez Canal, Abu Mahad's heart was even more relaxed.

A canal that has been reopened and abandoned again and again, let them see what can be missing?

After a big smile, Abu Mahad said, "If you want to see the canal, no problem!"

But you have to tell me where you came from, who are you, and what do you want to see the canal for?

At the same time, in order to ensure your safety, I can send two hundred cavalry to follow you to see it, and I hope you will not refuse! ”

Li Chengyan nodded and said, "We are Ming people, we came from the far east, and we came here just to see the canal, or to see if there is any possibility of digging the canal again - of course, we can pay the silver!"

In addition, your cavalry will be sent to accompany us, and we are willing to accept it, hoping that your cavalry can ensure the safety of our lives! ”

Abu Mahad nodded, "Of course! As long as you don't do anything misleading, your safety will be assured!

However, you will have to wait patiently here for a while, waiting for me to report back and see what my superior officers will decide. ”

Li Chengyan nodded in agreement, then turned his head and said, "Set up camp for the time being, and get in touch with these barbarians."

Besides, let the brothers stay on guard, and don't let these barbarians rush over and destroy us? ”

Fu Wen discussed: "Master Li, rest assured, even if there are several times more barbarians, it doesn't matter. ”

Seeing that this group of Ming people was indeed ready to rest, and accepted his offer to send troops to accompany him, Abu Mahad was even more happy in his heart, and even went back with his henchmen to report the news to his superiors.

The upper echelons of the officers who got the news were also relieved.

In the face of the enemy on land, no one will be afraid, no one will retreat, but in the face of such a large fleet, it is estimated that no one will feel a little uneasy.
