Chapter 236: Build a Maritime Advance Base

Squadron Leader Zhang Depei inspected the two Persian warships that were being outfitted, counted the time, and felt that it was still too late to build them completely. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

He called out to the three Great Song sailors who had been enslaved by the Persians, and asked the three of them to speed up the construction of the two warships with the remaining slaves.

Squadron Leader Zhang Depei said, "Can you command the Persian warship?" ”

Two of the three were older and said, "The younger ones can ------ the same ships in the world, and when they are maneuvered, the truth is the same!" ”

Squadron Leader Zhang Depei was happy, he didn't expect that the three people he rescued could still help in this regard.

At that time, he appointed the two people who replied as the captains of the two Persian warships------ but the two people were so happy that they immediately threw themselves into the work of commanding the shipbuilding, and they were more anxious to build the warships than Squadron Leader Zhang Depei!

The younger one said anxiously: "General! There are also three warships, which can also be built quickly! ”

Squadron Leader Zhang Depei glanced at the three warships again, and said with some reluctance: "No need------ we will be here for five days at most------ do you think you can build it in five days with people?!" ”

The younger one had to shake his head in denial, and he had to go and assist the two captains in their work.

They could only stay here for five days, not for fear of Tatar bandits, but for the task of destroying the port of Uman.

In their battle plan, their actions this time were not only to destroy the enemy's shipbuilding capabilities in the Persian Gulf, but also to build a hidden naval advance base on the islands they occupied, which could make full use of the captured manpower and material resources to build.

Even pirates have to have a lair, not to mention their regular navy.

As soon as they reach the Persian Gulf, they will not leave easily, and must leave behind a base for advancement, even if it is a little smaller at the beginning.

The slaves were put to good use, and in addition to continuing to build warships, they began to carry the assigned supplies non-stop.

This shipyard will eventually be burned down, and they hope that in at least three or five years, the shipbuilding capacity of the Ilkhanate in the Persian Gulf will be reduced to zero------ even if others have large shipyards on the Mediterranean coast, they can only sigh and sigh that they can't care about it at all.

When Squadron Leader Zhang Depei saw that they were in full control of the place, and that the follow-up work was going well, he wanted to send a team of men to support his teammates who were attacking the begging city.

Unexpectedly, Captain Guo Buyu sent someone to contact them.

When they captured the beggar city, there was no battle at all.

At that time, Captain Guo Beyu personally led the team and trotted towards the unfortified city.

As mentioned earlier, the Tatar bandit groups did not like the city walls at all, and even the cities under their rule did not like to have them.

The city was surrendered early and was not damaged by the war------ but with the passage of time, the walls here have long been dilapidated.

Want to apply for a city wall repair?

It's good that it wasn't demolished directly------ the tattered walls and gates are still standing.

Of course, Captain Guo Beyu knew about the situation of the begging city, because it was not the focus of their attack, so they did not invest too many internal personnel, and the main internal personnel were ambushed in the port, after all, taking the port was the key goal.

However, they knew very well about the situation of the beggar city, and were therefore equally confident in their capture.

When they arrived at the beggar city, the whole city had just woken up------ it was a city full of Yi and Slan styles.

As early as the 7th century AD, after the Yi and Silan Hui conquered the Persians, the architectural styles of the two different ethnic groups tended to converge.

The tallest building in the city is the Ivan Mosque.

Ivan means big house in Persian, and refers specifically to a domed hall or place, which has a simple structure, generally referring to a building with three high walls and the other side completely open.

Ivan was originally a symbol of Sassanid architecture in the Persian region before being introduced into Islamic architecture.

Also during the Seljuk Empire, Ivan became a fundamental element of Islamic architecture.

The Ivan Mosque is generally known for its tall domes and numerous rooms, and in the Ivan Mosque there are one or more Ivan facing the courtyard that serves as a prayer hall.

The Iwan Mosque is also the holiest place in the city, and when Captain Guo Beyu led the people into the city, the morning prayers had just been completed, and devotees in black and white robes were pouring out of the Ivan Mosque.

Nei Ying in the begging city was greeting his teammates at the city gate, and there was not even a gatekeeper at the gate.

The Persian merchant not only sent all his men, but also personally accompanied Captain Guo Beyu's team into the city...... He was not afraid to reveal that he was the leading party, and he had already decided that as long as he had a good relationship with the Liuqiu Guard, he would never return to the Persian region.

In his opinion, even his hometown is far from being as good as Liuqiu Island.

Merchants have always chosen their hometowns with their feet...... They will never have the attachment to the land that small farmers have.

Of course, this is also one of the things that makes the brick group hate businessmen the most in history.

In order to maintain their strength, they used a jogging method, which allowed the Persian merchant to keep up with them.

When they entered the city, their movements slowed down, and it can be seen that their action to take the beggar port did not alarm the place...... They have an internal team to lead the team, and they can accurately find the place where they can quickly control the city, and resolutely eliminate the resistance in the city.

When he arrived in the city, the Persian merchant rolled his eyes and whispered to Captain Guo Beyu: "Honorable general, do you have to hang the Tatars here?" ”

Captain Guo Beyu looked at his expression and said vigilantly: "This move is the top priority of my Liuqiu Guards...... What do you have to say? ”

The Persian merchant hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I am a strong supporter of the general!" Hey...... If the Tatar nobles were hanged in this city, the upper echelons of the entire city could suffer......"

Captain Guo Beyu was stunned for a moment...... Didn't we openly raise the banner of the Stream-seeking Guard?!

He asked: "Tatar robbers are even more vicious here than in the East?!" ”

The Persian merchant laughed miserably and said, "I am a valiant and victorious general...... The Tatars have occupied the East for many years, they regard it as their country, and here they do not occupy it long enough, so they kill more and more! ”

Captain Guo Beyu nodded, there are only tens of thousands of Tatar bandits here, and they can control so many nationalities and vast territories, it is really shocking not to be so cruel.

He immediately thought of his companions in Shandong, who were probably facing the most ferocious enemy in the world...... He couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.

However, he quickly adjusted his emotions, at least for now, this place, which is not even as good as a county seat compared to the Great Song Dynasty, will soon be completely in his hands! (To be continued.) )
