The shipbuilding of the ports of Beggars and Woodmans is not small...... Of course, this is by the standards of the Persian Gulf region, and in fact they are nowhere near the size of the shipyards of the Great Song and Liuqiu Islands. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In this time and space, in terms of a single shipyard, the shipbuilding equipment is the most complete, the shipbuilding speed is the fastest, and the shipyard is the largest, or the Badaohe shipyard on Liuqiu Island is the largest; However, if we look at the total number of shipyards, there are many large and small shipyards along the coast of the Great Song Dynasty...... The production capacity caused by the total number of hundreds of millions of people in the Great Song Dynasty is far from being comparable to the hundreds of thousands of people on the island.

In the current peaceful environment, the entire shipbuilding industry is booming......

The port of beggar on the coast of the Persian Gulf is a medium-sized port with 200,000 inhabitants.

Through the introduction of Persian merchants, Captain Guo Beyu knew that there was a begging shipyard here, and there were more than 1,000 workers and more than 200 shipbuilders in the shipyard.

The shipyards there were not only for the construction of warships, but also for the construction of merchant ships...... Their guide, an enthusiastic Persian merchant, gave information that a dozen warships and two dozen merchant ships could be built there in a year.

Captain Guo Beyu and his assistant Squadron Leader Zhang Depei carefully studied the map there, and finally decided on the tactical method of using two river-class warships first and four sea-class warships second, and sent 200 team members to participate in land operations.

They are very confident...... At that time, there were only a hundred armed men in the whole begging port, and their weapons were nothing more than bows and arrows, spears and steel knives, and there was not even a single return cannon in the whole port.

After Abha Khan ascended the throne, he appointed officials to all parts of the country, and at the same time appointed the Persian Zhifeni to continue to serve as prime minister, and A'rhun Aquan to be in charge of the tax system in various places; It was decreed that all the laws enacted by his father, Fan Hulagu Khan, and all the edicts he promulgated, must be resolutely observed and fulfilled, and that alteration and distortion were strictly forbidden.

At this time, the nobles of the former Persia did not receive their due rights from the Tatar rulers, on the contrary, their land and handicraft workshops were all confiscated and turned into state-owned land and state-owned workshops...... Rather than say that they are a real group of Tatar bandits, all the wealth is in the hands of the Tatar rulers, and then they claim to be state-owned.

Of course, only a small number of Persian nobles who loyally worked hard for Ilhan were granted certain privileges.

For example, Prime Minister Zhifeni can earn up to 3,000 dinars a year, and Erhun Aquan can earn up to 2,000 dinars a year.

At this time, large areas of land were left in a state of desolation due to the excessive exploitation of the local Persian peasants by the Tatar rulers, who fled in all directions.

Abha Khan had to take some mitigation measures to force the peasants to return to their hometowns to work in their fields, and although the effect was somewhat, many of the peasants who fled were still very large.

This situation seriously affected the state treasury income and social order of the Ilkhanate...... The lack of agricultural development forced local governors to focus on the development of industry and commerce, both for the sake of taxation and to attract the fleeing peasants.

They also did not want the peasants to become homeless, too easily to become all kinds of resistance...... It's not easy to maintain stability, so be sure to settle it well.

According to Persian merchants, the situation of the port is better, it is located at the mouth of the Qishi River, facing the Persian Gulf, the sea transportation is convenient, the industry and commerce are developed, especially the shipbuilding industry is more famous.

The climate of this time and space was far wetter than that of later generations, and the banks of the Qishi River were covered with date palms and trees suitable for shipbuilding, and because of the ease of shipping, they could also be transported from other places...... The pearls produced here are also famous all over the world.

However, at this time, the Ilkhanate still implemented a tax package system to administer the region, and the annual tax to be paid here was also staggering, reaching 120,000 dinars...... Of course, there are also some in-kind payments here.

The army stationed here was led by a hundred households, and their military rations and other military supplies were also supplied by the beggars.

The Persian Gulf is relatively stable in this time and space...... The Persian pirates were afraid of the Tatar army, and they did not dare to operate in the Persian Gulf, let alone go ashore to harass, so their defense was lax in recent decades.

At this time, the capital of the Ilkhanate, Tabriz, was not as prosperous as Cairo, but it was also a kind of prosperity where people came and went, and thousands of merchants gathered...... The entire Persian Gulf is also full of ships......

The Persian merchants, like those of other regions, ran wherever they had interests...... They are also customers of the island, and there are also people who have settled there.

The guide that Captain Guo Beyu was looking for was a Persian merchant who had settled on the island of Liuqiu...... This man was fluent in the Great Song dialect, and when he heard that the Liuqiu Guard Navy had asked him for a guide to go to Tianzhu and Dashi, and to exterminate pirates in the Persian region, he reported himself and took the initiative to take on the task of guide.

He claimed to be hating the pirates for what they were doing, and that one of his merchant ships had just been taken by them!

In fact, he was looking for an opportunity to get close to the Flowing Guards, and not let the returning merchants take the lead...... In the past, the Hui merchant always actively served the Liuqiu Guard, but this time he finally had a chance!

Before his departure, other Persian merchants also took the initiative to congratulate him and actively provide various news...... No matter what region the merchant is, there is no one who does not hate pirates!

Under the guidance of that guide, Captain Guo Beyu and his assistants defeated several pirates, and then captured a pirate's lair, and the gold, silver, treasure, and other materials they found were not worth mentioning in their eyes.

The point is that it is a small island, located a little farther away from the Persian Gulf, and it is not marked on the map sent to them by Zhang Guoan...... There were woods on that island, there were also some wooden houses, and most importantly, there were a few wells, and a few places suitable for mooring sea vessels, the only drawback was that the place was still too small to become a regular military port.

Unable to moor all the warships together, they had to use this place as a temporary base for rest, as they were here to exterminate pirates, not to be stationed here.

After carefully studying the map and the information provided by the guide, Captain Guo Beyu and his assistant Squadron Leader Zhang Depei, drew up a battle plan for an early morning assault.

Although the port was smaller, the sea conditions were good, and there were no reefs outside the harbor, which was suitable for assault landing.

Captain Guo Huyu sneered and said, "I heard that they have been stable for more than ten years...... I can't react at once, I'm 90% confident that I will take it and, if necessary, arm the sailors! ”

The Navy of the Stream Guard emphasizes the professionalism of the profession...... In addition, most of those sailors were sailors on fishing boats in the past, and they were inferior to regular team members in terms of combat ability, and professional sailors were not required to participate in ordinary battles at all.

However, they had previously fought with the Persian pirates...... Including the so-called Persian navy, disguised as pirates, is so no match for them, and under their fire, those people are better than wild ducks!

Everyone's confidence in the battle is high!!

But the sea is unpredictable, and no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents...... Squadron Leader Zhang Depei said cautiously: "Let's follow the plan, let the Persian merchant bring a team of men into that port first......

On an ordinary afternoon, a Persian merchant entered the port of Beggars with a merchant ship. (To be continued.) )
