Chapter 420: Dismount (Feng Tui Jia Change)

"Damn, there is communism!" Hearing Said's words, Hong Tao forgot to smoke his cigar and stared at Said for a long time with a pair of small eyes. I've been wondering whether to throw this old man into the sea, he's like a traverser, he'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.

"Actually, Your Majesty's country is also communist, but Your Majesty has done better than the kings of Arabia." Said's next words saved him and was able to say that Jin Heguo was communist, and Hong Tao decided to spare him first.

"The second caliph 'Umar also formed an al-Umar, which means negotiation. After his death, it was stipulated that his son could not succeed him, and his successor was chosen by Euler. It is a good thing that Euler also has Euler in His Majesty's empire, and that it is greater and more powerful than Eumar's. Although 'Umar was the successor to the Messenger of Allah, he also made many mistakes in his life, and he himself openly admitted that the original intention of forming 'Ura was to reduce the chances of a successor caliph making mistakes. I learned a word in the Great Song Dynasty, which is called the high flame of the people collecting firewood, which is very reasonable, but unfortunately the Great Song Dynasty, which invented this word, did not do this. But Said's words made Hong Tao start to gnash his teeth again. I was so prescient in politics that this old guy saw it through, and if it spread to Europe, someone would follow suit!

"The Golden River Empire has a small population, developed industry and commerce, and the convenience of the sea, so it can be done. But the Great Song Dynasty will not succeed, and your hometown will not succeed, if everything is discussed by everyone, it will inevitably reduce the efficiency of work, and many things will be delayed. Life is harder to have a parliament than to live without one. The country is not going to be able to hold on. What kind of system should a country adopt? Depending on the level of productivity of the country, it is not determined by a pat on the head of someone. Take the Great Song Dynasty as an example, the Great Song Dynasty has a population of tens of millions, and the business is quite developed, but it is far from the level of Jinhe Kingdom. If the Great Song Dynasty also did this, the common people would starve to death, because the discussion of the places that were affected by the disaster last year has not yet reached a result this year. In the end, Hong Tao still decided to let Said go, and the system of Jinhe Kingdom can be learned. But now no country in the world can copy it, and it can't be imitated. They don't have that much productivity because the level of technology can't keep up.

"What kind of management does Your Majesty think the Great Song Dynasty should be? If Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty! Said is a man with a broken mouth than Hong Tao, especially in sociological and philosophical issues, he has endless questions, he can lift the bar more than Hong Tao, and he cites scriptures with one mouth, and he knows all the historical materials of BC.

"This question is too complicated, so let's tell me about the political structure of the Arab country. Then I will slowly talk to you about the problem of Da Song...... "Hong Tao will not be fooled by this, and he will not do anything that he is not sure of." Hong Tao is not sure to win with Said, this old man is too capable of stirring.

"After Your Majesty and I have finished chatting about the Great Song Dynasty, I will say to Your Majesty again, this is very fair, and it is also in line with Your Majesty's principle of fair exchange." Learning bad is always faster than learning well, Said got on Hong Tao's ship from Europe, and followed Hong Tao to the big food country this time, and stayed for less than two months in total, and learned Hong Tao's scheming merchant style and two-skinned face.

"I think it's better for the Great Song Dynasty to remain in its current state, with only a few minor changes, and a few representatives of other classes can be elected from each road and each state to form a council to participate in politics. This parliament is used to check and balance the imperial power and the relative power, and has the right to evaluate and impeach the officials of the state and the government, and of course, the military power must also be separated. It's a long process, and sometimes it can be more difficult to renovate a house than to tear it down and build a new one, but I think it's better to renovate for the benefit of the people in the house. Okay, I'm done, it's your turn! "It's useless to play with Hong Tao to play Lai Pi Lai face, you can only be more shameless than him when dealing with shameless people, but it's a pity that Saeed can't do this.

"The caliph is the successor of the Prophet Muhammad and the de facto ruler of the state, like Emperor William. At the same time he is the protector of all Muz-Rim, which is a bit like the Pope, who has to protect the Christians, and the Caliph who has to protect Muz-Lin. The Shiites are slightly different in that they use the imam to refer to the supreme authority within the sect, but the Sunni imam only refers to the presiding officer of the mosque, which means the same as the Imam of the Persians. ”

"These supreme leaders must defend the faith and land of the ******, and if necessary, they can wage jihad, appoint and dismiss state officials, collect taxes, and administer religious donations. They can mention their names on the Day of Feast, have their names printed on coins, wear the cloak of the Prophet, and guard the relics of the Prophet. Although Said was very dissatisfied with Hong Tao's perfunctory, he could only abide by the agreement just now, who let the other party be the emperor, the emperor always has privileges.

"Under the caliph was Mahdi, a descendant of Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad. The Shiites are also different in this regard, and they believe that the twelve imams are the reincarnation of the Mahdi. Your Majesty, if the two sects are in constant dispute, is there any way to unite them? As soon as he said an opening, Saeed began to digress.

"I'm not familiar with religion and I'm not interested, so let's continue with what we just talked about." Hong Tao is telling the truth, he really can't think of how to unify Sunnis and Shiites, and even if there is a way, he won't tell others. I am not a savior, so why bother to transform others? What is the benefit of a unified Is\Lan religion for oneself? It's basically all harm, and it's only happy that it's split into eight factions.

The fleet set out from the port of Kalamba and headed west for ten days, and the sea became more and more muddy, not only the sea was muddy, but the sky in the distance was also yellow, and even the wind blowing was a little thick. Without waiting for Alin and Saeed to remind him, Hong Tao knew why, the sandstorm was coming! Born in the north, he had seen similar weather as a child, only this time it was purer and more spectacular.

Can Hong Tao cope with sandstorms? The answer is no, as soon as this thing comes, the lookout has to come down from the top of the mast, and the visibility directly becomes zero, and the lookout is a fart. Fortunately, Hong Tao had a foresight and ordered the sails to be lowered and stopped when he saw that the situation was wrong, otherwise after this sandstorm passed, the fleet might not be blown somewhere, and it would take several days to regroup.

As for Hong Tao, who had never been to this area, how could he be sure that a sandstorm was coming by looking at the color of the sea and the color of the sky. Most of the crew and maritime merchants were accustomed to thinking that Hong Tao had communicated with the gods in the sky again, and that he had to know what mortals did not know, so although everyone had never seen this natural phenomenon, they were not very flustered, and as long as Hong Tao was still in the fleet, they thought they were safe.

There are also a few people, such as the captains of various ships, who have more contact with Hong Tao, and their recognition of Hong Tao's statement that he is a god is relatively low, because Hong Tao's usual performance is too far away from God, if gods are like this, the days in heaven are not much better, a group of shameless shit-stirring sticks get together, can it be good? They are more inclined to Hong Tao to have read books on this subject in his original motherland, not because he is a god, but because he is well-informed.

The last part of the people, namely Ayin and Said, regarded Hong Tao as the great ulima, that is, the most learned person in the Arab world, the omniscient kind, and regarded as an intellectual half-immortal.

In fact, Hong Tao not only knew that this was a sandstorm, but also knew that the fleet had reached the seaside, and he didn't need to take the sextant and the lunar distance meter to calculate, and it should be the Arabian Peninsula not far ahead, otherwise the sandstorm would not be able to blow too far from the coast. At this time, Hong Tao suddenly liked this Sea King a little, not only because the cabin was large, but also because it had bright flat glass windows, and in bad weather, you could see the outside without opening the windows. This structure is not only comfortable, but also greatly improves the safety of the boat, when other people's eyes are beaten by the wind and rain and waves, you can hide behind the glass and see them really.

The sandstorm did not last long, and in less than two days, the sun came out again, and a large island loomed on the port side. According to the indication on the chart and the latitude and longitude data, this island should be Socotra Island at the eastern exit of the Gulf of Aden, and then drive west to enter the Gulf of Aden. This is the blind spot of the Royal Navy, with neither nautical charts nor hydrographic data, only hearsay from the mouths of the big food merchants and rough memories in Hong Tao's head.

"Mercy, first send two sea wolf-class, hang the banner of the Maitini tribe, and advance while exploring, don't seek speed, we must explore comprehensively, we have a lot of time." Out of an abundance of caution, Hong Tao docked the fleet on the north side of Socotra Island, landed only one anchor, and then sent two exploration ships.

"If those ships are hostile to us, do they fire first?" Compassion originally followed Hong Tao to the Great Food Country and thought it was a tourist-like ease to make a meritorious service, but before he arrived at the place, he encountered a sandstorm, which can be regarded as a small dismount. The sandstorm not only made him see the power of nature, but also cooled his throbbing heart, and finally realized that this voyage was not a trip, but a very dangerous journey of exploration.

"You can control this degree yourself, my principle is to save your life and protect the ship first, and everything else can be ignored. You are the commander of the fleet and have the right to make the corresponding choice according to the situation. "Hong Tao always takes compassion as a child, but this child is really not small, he will be twenty-five years old next year, and in the age of fifteen years old and the average life expectancy is more than thirty years, twenty-five years old is already considered middle-aged, and he can no longer treat them in the same way as children.
