The owner of Zhang Guoan gave Captain Guo Beyu a copy of the most detailed sea chart of West Asia in this time and space. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This chart not only includes the basic information of the ports where several of their large commercial stations and cargo stations are located, but also some other more important ports are also detailed.

For example, hydrology, humanities, and port architecture, as well as military defense intelligence, etc., are recorded in great detail.

After Zhang Guoan saw this information, he always wanted to laugh, with their level of defense, if his Liuqiu Navy couldn't completely take down any of them within two hours, he would disband them all!

At the same time, the warships of the Liuqiu Navy are not very different from the merchant ships in appearance, and if you don't look at them carefully, people in this time and space will not understand the true use of the cannon window.

At the same time, Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, determined the new flag of Liuqiu Island.

The black skull flag, that's scareful, if it's a regular army, you don't have to.

He didn't think much about it, and directly designed it as a flag with the word liuqiu, the army is red-edged, and the navy is blue-edged.

Because Western countries have a phonetic system, their flags or logos have to be represented by totems or colors, and if a series of phonetic characters are written on the flag, no one can see it clearly from a distance; Chinese characters are ideographic systems, so one character and two characters are enough to express identity.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, advocated that Captain Guo Beyu cancel the bed crossbows, stone cannons and other equipment that relied on mechanical energy on the warship, and change it to a full-scale firearm, completely using chemical energy!

What made him happy was that Captain Guo Beyu began to have his own opinions.

He said: "Master Zhang, I thought that our army was far away from Liuqiu, and it would be difficult to receive armaments for a while...... It's better to prepare for both, usually disassemble them in the bottom compartment, and when it comes to use, you can reassemble them right away! ”

Well, there is truth to this, don't blindly rely on firearms...... Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, suddenly realized that he and his friends had neglected the construction of overseas military bases, and that there were only a dozen armed personnel in each trading station and cargo station, and only with the help of long and short firearms to provide protection.

Where can people in this time and space distinguish what a military base is......

But it doesn't matter...... It's never too late to start!

Originally, in Yazhou, Boni, Srivijaya and Xilan, as well as Cairo and other five places have been built relatively formal large-scale commercial stations or cargo stations, they have complete functions, all have the functions of commerce, goods and accommodation.

At present, simple trading stations have been built in the port of Guri in the Tianzhu region and the port of Maliba facing the Arabian Sea and the port of Aden in the Red Sea Strait on the Arabian Peninsula, but they are still only in the nature of shops......

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said: "This time, you will bring a few more military supply ships and merchant ships, and your escort and combat missions will be correct...... Military and commercial are also the same! ”

Captain Guo Beyu nodded, thinking, I will have to wait for more than a month this time.

Actually, it's fast...... At this time and space, I want to prepare for a long-distance business voyage, and it took half a year to prepare, because in addition to the big businessmen, most of the rest are small businessmen, and it is not easy for them to hold together.

Therefore, Zhang Guoan's rush to launch the New Oriental Co., Ltd. originally had ulterior motives, but for a while, those small businessmen in the Great Song Dynasty had not understood the benefits of the joint-stock company.

This time, Zhang Guoan is ready to export some products with high technological content, in addition to rope armor and plate armor, he also added the export of long and short arquebuses and binoculars.

There are also some old firecrackers, some left from the past, and some used, simply renovated, the same needless to say, you can't see the old and new.

Originally, I wanted to add some flintlock pistols, but then I gave up, not because I was afraid of leaking technology, but because I wasted my own qualified raw materials to create a V-shaped spring, not to mention, it was labor-intensive, so now is not the time.

Not to mention the pull-hair grenade, which is still exported.

To tell the truth, these arms exports were completely intended to be sold to the Mamluk Dynasty, and on the one hand, in terms of commodity sales, it was necessary to distinguish the level of the products from those of the Great Song Dynasty and the Tibetan merchants, and not to engage in vicious competition with them at the same level.

On the other hand, it is necessary to take the initiative to spread firearms technology and make the war more violent!

As long as military firearms appear in war, they will continue to spread to other regions consciously, and this is not subject to human will.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, didn't care about the spread of this broken technology at all...... The Tatars can quickly figure out these techniques and offer them to their own allies, and of course he can.

If the Mamluks can fight the Ilkhanate hard, it will be a good thing for the whole war.

There are also some original marching tiger squat guns in the arms, which are also packaged and sold.

The most successful example of the supply of arms to the island was the operation against Champ...... Champa not only defeated the surrounding powers and regained the lost territory of the past, but also developed the battlefield into the opponent's land.

The war brought them a large number of prisoners, and with the support of the good varieties of the island of Liuqiu, their rice production increased considerably, and in some areas they were able to reach the level of commoditization.

Arquebuses have proven useful in tropical jungles, but they have certain limitations...... For example, during the rainy season, both sides have to stop fighting, or only skirmishes.

Rain can wet gunpowder, but it can also make the strings of bows and arrows soften and make them unusable.

In short, Champa is completely inseparable from the island of Liuqiu.

Of course, the owner of Zhang Guoan Island also has to control the extent of their melee, if the whole country goes to war, who will provide rice for Liuqiu Island? How can they afford to develop tropical products?

The arms on the island of Liuqiu only believe in equivalent exchange......

The same was true for the Mamluks in Egypt, who could only get the supplies they needed if they offered what they saw fit.

The dumping of the Great Song Dynasty officials and merchants did harm the interests of other merchants, including Liuqiu Island, but it also brought a trace of benefits.

The victorious king of the Mamluk regime, Bibers, in his successive northern expeditions, finally set his attention on opening up the Nile and the Red Sea once again.

While the Ilkhanate continued to shrink its forces, he attacked their allies, the Armenians, ravaged Armenian lands and plundered Armenian cities.

Now he is ready to go on the offensive against the Seljuk army, another important ally of the Tatars...... The war brought him a large number of prisoners and gains, but the military resources to continue to wage war were even more innumerable!

At this time, the Mamluk dynasty had two classes, civil and military, the former constituted the bureaucratic class, and the latter was mostly Mamluks, who were in charge of the army and served as high officials such as sultans, governors, and justices.

The Mamluk army consisted of three parts: the Mamluks of the Sultan, the Mamluks of the chieftains, and the cavalry of the Mamluks and ****** freemen.

These classifications ultimately constituted a feudal hierarchy headed by the victorious king Bibers.

Everyone benefited from the war waged by the victorious king Bibers, but none of them wanted to pay any more for the military......

Both their civil and military classes were at the same time very much in favor of the commercial strategy of the victorious king Baibers, especially in recent times they had unexpectedly become more closely connected with the "Great Song" in the East, and the products of those trades not only satisfied the people of all classes in Egypt, but also earned a large amount of dinars in trade with other places!

The Mamluk cavalry said: "Wealth comes from the ...... of war"

The civil and military classes of the Mamluk dynasty said: "Wealth comes from the ...... of the East"

The victorious king Bibers said: "Wealth comes from the Red Sea...... Re-dig that canal and let it bring in the military we need! (To be continued.) )
