Hong Tao had only personally commanded two relatively close expeditions, and he was not interested in war, and every time he saw a large number of dead people and heard the wounded wailing all over the field, he did not have any joy. The main reason why he wanted to lead the team himself was to see the combat effectiveness of these Ceylonese soldiers, and the result surprised him.

Armed with full-body armor and steel spears, the Ceylonese soldiers were not weak at all, and they were able to defeat the Arab cavalry in about a number of encounters, without the help of the muskets of the marines. Moreover, they were more ferocious than the marines, fighting without regard for losses, and after each victory, the soldiers wore a string of human ears on their belts, which is evidence of their evaluation of military exploits.

They also collected the horses, camels, armor, weapons, and tents of the other party, and took them all away as trophies, which were cleaner than ants moving. What can be sold locally will be replaced with spices and blankets, and those that can't be sold will be loaded and taken away. According to their commander, these 1,000 men were the elite of the Ceylonese army, all veterans of years of fighting. The other troops were not so well equipped, and when they got the booty back, they could arm more armies and cross the strait to plunder the cities of the Indian peninsula, which was what they really did.

"It's over, history is really messed up by me, will there be India in the future?" Hong Tao had only seen in the report that King Taba had unified the island of Ceylon and was harassing the southern tip of the Indian peninsula, but he did not expect the harassment to be so strong. It is worth counting the whole poor part of the northern part of Ceylon to use the army as a means of making a fortune, and the king of Taba is quite skillful. Vigorously developing handicrafts, industry, and commerce in the south and plundering foreign countries in the north are really making the best use of everything.

But if it goes on like this. The Indian peninsula will be difficult to unify, facing invasions from the Khwarazmian and Arab countries in the west and north, and Ceylonese in the south, which may have to lose most of its territory in a few decades, and become a few countries that I don't know.

"No, Khorezm can't let it develop like this, it's too big. We have to find a way to make the countries near the Persian Gulf chaotic...... It seems that the big-stirring stick in the UK is still a good game, and I need to learn more. As soon as he thought of the future situation in the Indian peninsula, Hong Tao couldn't help but open the map. The more I look at the land area of Khorezm, the more I grit my teeth and can't help but think of bad ideas. He always said that Britain was the biggest-stirring stick in history, but in fact, he himself was the world's largest-stirring stick at this time, and he was the only one. This is called not being in his position and not seeking his own government. Some things can only be thought of when you stand at the right height. People standing at different heights see things differently.

What to use as? Hong Tao's eyes finally fell on the land of the Sultanate of Oman. There is only one way to mess up the Middle East, and that is to exploit their religious conflicts. It's a big piece of, it's still, and it's not easy to wash when you throw it on your body. With enough strength and skill, you can create a variety of colors and flavors, and the more you mix the ingredients, the more you will be able to blend them. This is not Hong Tao's invention, but was pondered by later generations of Britain and the United States. Hong Tao doesn't mind plagiarizing again.

As for the impact of this on future generations, it is up to it. Who would have thought it that far. The more chaotic the world, the better it will be for Jinhe Country, so why not do such a good thing? How does a country rise and become rich? There is only one way, and that is to entrap other countries. Economically, this is called competition, and politically it is called the international situation, and only by creating an international environment that is beneficial to oneself and unfavorable to others can one make one's country profit. The common development and progress of the people of the whole world is just a good wish, and it is not in line with human nature at all. If humanity could do this, there would be no distinction between nations.

But now the conditions for doing this are not very mature, because Oman has not occupied this, and there is no raw material to be a-stirring stick. Fortunately, it's not an imminent thing here, so let's keep it for the rest and play slowly. The most important thing at the moment was to arrange for shiploads of immigrants and slaves to settle here, and the maritime merchants were the most efficient group, and as long as they were told where there was interest, they would rush desperately and could not stop them.

The empire has taken down a city on the territory of the Great Cannibals!

The news had long since spread with the returning maritime merchants, and now the maritime merchants who had gone out of the market no longer cared about negotiating with the imperial court, as long as they felt that their strength was sufficient, they all sharpened their heads and went to the Arabian Sea. It doesn't matter if the strength is not good, learn the model of the strait company, and if several get together, isn't the strength enough?

What is Musca Harbour? That's the port of Calamba more than 10 years ago! Who knew that Puerto Kalamba would develop into what it is now? Knowing this, the maritime merchants who didn't buy land and build houses here were dripping blood in their hearts, and the fat that was delivered to their mouths didn't even eat it! A person can fall many times in this life, but he must not fall twice in the same pit, then he is not qualified to be a businessman.

Since the Golden River Empire has chosen Muska Port, according to the emperor's character as a chicken thief, it will definitely not be untargeted. Didn't you see that the sea merchants who traveled with the emperor were all going around buying slaves like clockwork, why did they get so many slaves? If you think about it on your toes, you can figure it out, it must be shipped to Muska Harbor.

For a while, the price of slaves in the port of Malacca was rising every day, and the busy Swanta father became the commander of the light pole. All the troops in the city were sent to the north to capture the Jinla people and bring them back to sell for money, so the supply exceeded the demand.

Later, the maritime merchants simply didn't wait, and directly found Swanta's father for a showdown. The merchant paid for the route, Swanta's father provided enough weapons and soldiers, and the merchant himself hired these Mamluk soldiers to organize capture teams and catch as many as he wanted.

It's okay if the real people don't have enough to catch, there are also Jawa and the Indian Peninsula. As long as it is not the territory of the empire, as long as there are cities, they have become the target of these maritime merchants. For a time, these Great Song Dynasty maritime merchants became slave traders in the thirteenth century, and many of them simply changed careers and became full-time.

"I said you can't keep your mouth tighter? Get so many slaves, and the locals won't be scared to death by you! Those who know that you are planning to stay here permanently, and those who do not know think that you are going to occupy all other people's homes. Besides, there can't accommodate too many people here, so what about food? It's not enough for you to eat all the camels of the Arabian Peninsula! ”

Hong Tao did not know about this until the first maritime ship carrying slaves arrived at the port of Maska. History has really been changed by itself, and the professional slave hunting teams have come out, and this Nima is not the work of Europeans in the fifteenth century. It seems that human nature is the same everywhere, regardless of race and country, as long as the environment is suitable, the dark seeds in it will sprout.

“…… Your Majesty, it really wasn't that we deliberately spread it, those people are too thieves, and when they saw us buying a large number of slaves, they guessed it......" The maritime merchant was anxious when he saw Hong Tao, and immediately cleaned himself up first.

"Go, go, do what you have to do, you know that you're causing me trouble!" Hong Tao also has nothing to do with these maritime merchants, so he can't say that he won't be allowed to ship them here. In fact, this matter is not harmful to the empire, and no one buys the slaves that have been transported, so naturally no one will arrest them. But Hong Tao is not kind-hearted, he always wonders what to do with these slaves who have been captured, he can't throw thousands of people in the desert to dry, that would be too lacking in morality. Maritime merchants can ignore it, but they can't turn a blind eye to it.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Your Majesty, you must have a way, I came first, and the next few brothers will arrive in a few days, they asked me to bring some small gifts to Your Majesty, and I sent them all to Your Majesty's ship. Don't look at them as savages, there are really a few good goods in them, as long as they are washed and put on a few good clothes, that little touch is no worse than the one in Lin'an Restaurant. Your Majesty, you are busy, the villain retires...... "The maritime merchant didn't believe that Hong Tao would take slaves, and he said it so seriously, he must blame himself for patronizing and getting rich, and he didn't think about this emperor who worked for the welfare of the maritime merchants. I really wronged these maritime merchants, and the gifts were brought. Emperor Hong likes beautiful women, and she has to be a girl with long legs and a thin waist, young and clean, and this matter is known to maritime merchants.

"Fuck off!" Hong Tao reacted for a few seconds before he realized what the maritime merchants meant by what they meant, this time they were really anxious, and they worked hard to give them their lives, in exchange for the impression of a big color \ ghost, who did this Nima talk to?

It's a pity that no matter how loud the scolding is, the maritime merchants can't hear it, everyone knows that Emperor Hong is thin-skinned, and he can't wait for him to open his mouth to say that he has received it, and the best way is to throw it down and run. These girls are all slaves, and if they are returned, their fate will be even worse, so as long as they can be thrown on the emperor's ship, none of them will be returned, which further confirms Emperor Hong's statement that he likes beautiful women.

"Your Majesty, shall I go and get him back?" Hearing Hong Tao's scolding, the compassionate head appeared in the crack of the door.

"What's the use of arresting him? Now the time has come to test you, the commander of the fleet. So many slaves, you find a good place for them, otherwise I will let you take a cargo ship to transport grain here, three times a year, and don't even think about going anywhere! When Hong Tao was angry, the farther away from him the better, and Compassion accidentally broke the taboo, and as a result, it became Hong Tao's punching bag.

"Slaves? Can't hold slaves here? "Compassion didn't know that the port of Malacca had become a slave port, and that there was a large number of slaves to be sent in the future.

"Nonsense, can I pretend to use it and ask you? 2,000 people, you go and deal with it, don't kill or starve, and don't be idle! ”
