Chapter 188: Undeclared War!
Ahmed avoided the Venetians, pretending to need to continue asking for instructions, and wrote back to Cairo.
Mansour Sultan looked at the letter in confusion. The power of the Venetians is terrifying. They have a monopoly on domestic trade. But once the source of slaves is completely cut off, how will the majesty of the Sultan be preserved? The local Mamluks who have become truly lineages will not help him. On the contrary, they will raise an army to occupy Cairo and become the new sultan.
Since the thirteenth century, the whole of Egypt has passed its most splendid golden age.
"Without the Venetians, we can find ****** and Han Chinese, but once there is no slave trade! Our reign will be cut off completely! So, agree with him! But they are not exempt from taxes, one-third of it! Mansour gritted his teeth. His courtiers all nodded.
"Transfer to Kaffa, we're going to get a replenishment right away!"
The news came to Cafar again with the sea vessels. Ahmed hurriedly got in the car and delivered the things to Chijing.
After the two trading posts were revised, the contract was immediately concluded. Zhang Qi personally went to Constantinople to preside over the development of business in the Mamluk dynasty. After sending him away, Qin Cang went home to rest.
As soon as I walked to the toilet, two women gathered next to the toilet bowl and were vomiting. Qin Cang pinched his nose and stood at the door, eavesdropping quietly.
"It won't be........ Pregnant, right? "This is Elizabeth's voice.
"Vomit ......." Yelena was still lying on the toilet and vomiting.
Turning his head, Qiao Su was already standing behind him.
"Get out of the way, it's a woman's business." Qiao Su said unceremoniously, behind her was a female medical officer. Qin Cang had no choice but to leave in a huff.
After Artenis became pregnant, she rose to prominence and only ate at home.
Qin Cang came to the vestibule. Bao Yin is riding a horse and shooting arrows. Sama Ren squatted on a small couch and held the child to breastfeed.
"You're back?" Samaren's induction of Qin Cang is by no means complicated, although he doesn't have many ideas about love, but he is always a great man. In the steppe, only strong men are qualified to leave offspring.
"Hmm." Qin Cang teased Xiao Hongrong in Sama Ren's arms. The son is not yet old and cannot speak.
Sama Ren handed over the child to Qin Cang, and she also went to get on the horse and shoot arrows.
Until the evening, Qin Cang was enjoying the joy of family. Four children, Elizabeth and Yelena, were also confirmed to be pregnant. For this reason, Qin Cang specially prepared two decibel gifts to send to Elizabeth's husband Kachimilz IV and Yelena's brother Ivan III.
Hope they don't get angry~~~
In the middle of the night, Qin Cang was dragged out of bed by Qiao Su in the bed.
"Husband, it's not a wise monarch to lie in bed like this." Qiao Su said helplessly, behind him were several other women and children.
"What are you doing? I'm still sleeping in the middle of the night......" Qin Cang looked confused.
"The news of the political hall, you can see it for yourself." Qiao Su handed over the paper and lit the candle.
Taking advantage of the candlelight, Qin Cang finished reading the news word by word!
"Damn it!" Qin Cang gritted his teeth and said angrily!
What's wrong?
The Venetians are at war! Undeclared war!
Chen Dong, who couldn't believe it, was not convinced until he arrived at the political hall that four Venetian warships had rammed and sunk two Han merchant ships in the port of Patras!
"Undeclared war! This is an undeclared war! Gather the troops, horses, carriages, and ships! We're fucking sinking their Venice~! Chen Jia roared hoarsely in the political hall! He was accompanied by Wang Chang's envoy and Yang Mao's brother sent by Li Anshi!
They were angry! Trade in Port Patras was cut off for a time! It was only the protection of the naval guns that drove the Venetian ships away! This made Li Anshi so angry that his brain smoked! The finances, which were already strapped for the expansion of the army, completely collapsed! He hurriedly sent a letter and asked Yang Mao to take out the funds for road construction and pay a new salary. Then Yang Mao sent his younger brother to see Wang Chang, and Wang Chang went to see Zhang Qi.
"The Venetian is furious!" Meng Zhuoyan pinched his beard and said in a deep voice. He didn't expect that his own intention to break into the market of the Mamluk Dynasty would make them react so much!
"Did the Mamluk emissary reveal the contract we signed?" **** Fang, who hasn't shown up for a long time, said.
"No, I'm afraid that Ahmad's letter when he returned to the Mamluks has already been exposed. The Venetians must have sent a message back to their lair by that time. In other words, they have already made up their minds to mess with us! Qin Changan slammed the table angrily. It's his treasury that's moving.
Although now there is a lot of money in the treasury and there is nowhere to spend it.
"Humph! I'm afraid it's more than that! Venetian....... I think we were in the porcelain business when we were in the eye. Zhang Qi, who returned in a hurry, said.
So the mood of the crowd collapsed even more. The enemy has been thinking about him for so long, and he hasn't noticed it yet?
Qin Cang gritted his teeth and said, "What about Pan Daoquan? Call me out the man who eats dry rice! If there is any further problem in the war in Venice this time, I will peel him and hang him on the yamen of the Central Command and Pro-Army Guard Division! ”
At night, Pan Daoquan, who was sleeping, was wrapped in a quilt by the guards and carried to Qin Cang.
"Your Majesty....... Your Majesty? Pan Daoquan asked confusedly.
Qin Cang smashed the letter in his face! "Show me, and tell me what you think after reading it!"
After Pan Daoquan read it, his face turned pale!
"What about the money I gave you? What about the people for you? What have you been doing these months? Report me to Peter Aron for a good manhood? Lithuanian nobility ready for independence? Can you find me some useful information? What about news from Italy? What about the news of our biggest competitors in business? ”
"Minister..... Wechen is guilty..... "Pan Daoquan bowed down."
Look at him as if I'm guilty, punish me! The way it looks. Qin Cang was angry! I just don't like such people, I can't let out a fart even if I hit a stick!
"What the do I want you for? Look at your confession! ! Take another 20,000 founding funds! I'll tell you, I'll give you half a month, and if you don't know what's going on behind the scenes in half a month, I'll hang your skin on the beams of the Central Command Yamen! ”
Pan Daoquan led the slip and left quickly.
Qin Cang was still angry with himself!
.......
"Did you hear that? We're at war with the Venetian guys! On the dock, a group of businessmen discussed.
"The boats over there...... someone pointed to the Venetian ships on the docks.
"Don't look at it, it has long been confiscated by the yamen."
"Then we can go to the sea and grab it! Is it possible to claim a bonus if you snatch it back? "That man is also white, but it's a pity that he is ******. And the Venetians are feuds.
"That's right!"
