Chapter 46: Am I Like a Butcher?

The Mamluk cavalry were valiant warriors, but they were slaves. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

They are treated very poorly in ordinary life......

The merchant who returned to Cairo said that he had obtained the great Malek of the Great ****** Pillar in Cairo because the goods in his hands were so good and amazing? Zahir? Rukhnuddin? Baibers? A personal reception by King Bendugdari.

The returning merchant exclaimed, "What a victorious king......

He went on to tell of the scene when he was received by the King of Victory.

"It was a palace of gold and silver and pearls and precious stones!

That victorious king has a slightly dark complexion, a burly physique, a majestic style, a loud voice, full of energy, brave and good at fighting, and has the talents that a general should have!

Is that him in Ain? In the Battle of Jialu, the Tatar army of the Western Expedition was defeated, and their commander was killed by the cowardly Buhua! ”

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, did not interrupt his arabesque lyricism because of his great achievements...... Why don't you say he's still a usurper?!

The victorious king's name was Bybers, and he was a general of the Ayyubid Sultan of Egypt, Ghoutus.

Is he in Ain? After the battle of Jaru, he asked Sultan Gutus to make him governor of Aleppo, but when he failed, he plotted a rebellion, and on his way back to Egypt, he approached the Sultan and demanded that a captured Mongol girl be given to him.

The Sultan agreed, and Baibars kissed the Sultan's hand for this, and the Mamluks, seeing this predetermined code, threw themselves at the Sultan, and Baibars took up his sword and cut off the Sultan's head.

In November 1260, in Cairo he proclaimed himself the fourth generation of the Mamluk dynasty, the Sudan.

After he came to power, he was determined to follow Saladin's example to resist the invading forces of the Crusaders in Western Asia and contain the military threat of the Tatar Ilkhanate.

The returning merchant was very shrewd, he might have seen the disdain of the island master Zhang Guoan, and immediately changed his words: "However, he was also impressed by the goods of the island owner!"

The whole of Egypt was shocked by the goods of the owner of Zhang! ”

Okay, okay, he couldn't stand this way of talking, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "I didn't expect you to buy it at such a low price......"

Wang Zheng interjected at this time and said, "It's not low...... There are about one or two dirkhans there, and our armor can be sold there for twenty thousand dirkhans, and the slaves who will raise horses there are sold for eight hundred dirkhans! ”

The merchant replied, "The reserve price given to me by the owner of the island is a Mamluk cavalry plus horses and weapons, which can be exchanged for a pair of armor and even some other goods......"

Wang Zheng wanted to say something, but Zhang Guoan smiled, he didn't know that we had already launched a steam air hammer and a wire braiding machine...... As for the silver and copper plating, it is already an assembly line operation.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said: "This business is very suitable, you have my friendship...... Let the future business prove your loyalty......"

He didn't notice that his style of speaking had changed a bit......

The victorious king Baibars united the ****** forces of Egypt and Syria, strengthened the political power and army, rebuilt Syrian citadels and military fortresses, built roads, built new arsenals, rebuilt the navy, and built warships and cargo ships.

He pursued a foreign policy of "distant friendship and close attack" abroad. He allied himself with the Kipchak Khanate, reconciled with the Byzantine emperor, conducted friendly trade with King Manfred of Sicily and Prince Charles of France, and signed trade treaties with the kings of Aragon and Seville in Spain, isolating the Crusaders and increasing his economic power.

This made the business of the Hui Shang successful, and at the very least, his two houseboys came back safely.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, smiled and said to Xiao Er: "Have you seen the pyramid?" See the Sphinx? ”

Xiao Er's eyes are about to widen, my island owner hasn't been there, you all know about it!

Xiao Er said: "That big stone minaret is almost forked into the sky...... Not only was the Sphinx huge, but it also had a long snout......"

Long nose?!

This time, it was Zhang Guoan's turn to know the islander, but he pretended to know everything and said, "Cairo is also a big city......

Xiao Er said: "Yes, but they don't have a city wall there, and the population doesn't seem to be as large as Lin'an City...... But are we in Khan? In the market of Khalili, we exchanged our goods for a lot of bronze, gold and silver jewellery and ****** wool carpets. ”

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said: "You give your travelogue to Yang Youxing, let him sort it out, and explain this trade route more clearly." ”

In this sea trade, the task given to the two people by the owner of Zhang Guoan was only to buy horses and cavalry, and there was no concept of earning money or not...... Therefore, their ships seem to be larger and more than those of other maritime merchants, but they really don't earn as much as anyone else.

Cairo is also a large city with a history of 1,000 years, and there are many traders from all over the world who come here to operate here, and there are as many ...... as stars in the sky.

The victorious king Baibars had always promoted the development of commerce, which provided him with sufficient military resources for years of war.

However, be careful, this guy is not a good kind either...... Needless to say, usurpation.

In 1263 he seized Karak from the descendants of the Ayyubids and burned down the church of Nazareth.

In 1265, Caesarea was reconquest, and the 2,000 knights of the Templar Order of Safad were promised to surrender without killing...... But he was eventually slaughtered.

In 1268, he took Jaffa and slaughtered 16,000 defenders, and sold another 100,000 inhabitants, women and children into slavery in Egypt, burning castles and churches.

At this point, all the countries established by the Crusaders in the East were wiped out...... This guy is also a butcher.

Finally, the Hui merchant shrewdly said: "My lord of Zhang, I especially emphasize your hatred of the Tatars, and every time you catch a Tatar, you always hang them immediately, while others are allowed to live...... When the victorious king Baibars heard this, he laughed and said happily that he wished you would cut off the head of the Tartars, and that he was glad that he had a similar friend on the distant island of Liuqiu......"

Zhang Guoan's heart trembled, I'll go, I am similar to him in his eyes?!

You're so different, right?!

The Hui merchant also said, indeed, you have done like the victorious king Baibars, and we are proud to have such an island......

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, changed the topic again, he asked everyone to go and rest immediately, not to mention who they looked like.

His arrangements for this cavalry had long been prepared.

He found a flat valley in the mountains, and built sunny, well-ventilated, dry stables, and the whole area was disinfected with wood vinegar and disinfectant powder, which would be the norm in the future.

The cavalryman's quarters were three hundred meters away, not far away.

When the cavalry first arrived, they were first asked to take a bath, and of course they did not know that wood vinegar was added to the water, but they were only interested in the scented soap.

They don't need any clothes, from the inside out, all of them are quietly designed cavalry suits, but they are bigger, and they can be worn as soon as they are ready. (To be continued.) )
