Or how many years of old friends know each other. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wang Defa is one of the five people who has never been married, and it is likely that after having money, he will like to enjoy his youth after playing for a while, after all, he has lived for more than 20 years, which should be a great wealth.

When Wang Defa appeared at the Liuqiu Customs on a merchant ship, Gu Jianshan and Guo Ziren were so happy that the master who went out to form a formation came back!

Good news must have been brought back!

When Zhang Guoan met him, he directly picked him up, and the two fell on the grass on the side of the road together.

Quietly and happily watching two big men happy like two big boys!

Wang Defa didn't bring anything with him when he came back, for fear of affecting the energy of the wormhole.

However, it is enough to have him come back...... He is stronger than himself in chemical engineering and even machining technology, and Zhang Island needs friendship.

Wang Defa said: "I haven't seen each other for a few years, you have been promoted to the owner of the island, why, the Great Song Dynasty still has the heart of invasion?" ”

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said with some embarrassment: "There is no ...... yet Even if I told them that there was gold in the north, the officials didn't say anything about taking it. ”

Wang Defa nodded and said, "Our prediction is right, they have not yet developed to the point where they want to occupy overseas land...... There is too much military pressure from the outside. ”

Of course, Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, paid close attention to all kinds of news within the Great Song Dynasty government, especially after he released the message that he was asking for gold...... Fortunately, no one in the Great Song Dynasty thought of discussing the issue of liuqiu's belonging, after all, in their minds, liuqiu island, an overseas land.

Besides, there are less than 200 million people in the north and south of the entire continent combined, and land will never be a critical issue.

Wang Defa and Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, drank the afternoon wine, and the two chatted carefully.

The total population of Liuqiu Island has now reached 300,000, including those who have participated in labor reform and itinerant business.

Wang Defa frowned and said: "Almost occupy the entire Shandong, why are there only such people?" ”

"I didn't force them to relocate, and besides, Shandong also needs to develop...... Don't want to develop radically. ”

Wang Defa pursed his lips, took a sip of his wine, and said, "...... You still obeyed the arrangement of the big bird and kept some military pressure from the Tatars on the Great Song?! ”

This was indeed an arrangement they had planned in advance, and among the six people, perhaps only Wang Defa did not agree with this method.

Wu Dapeng, the Great Bird, had previously proposed to keep the Tatars under "military pressure" on the Great Song for ten years, which would then be used to develop himself.

Ten years, if you can't build enough power to protect yourself...... It's so incompetent.

But Wang Defa said at the time that the Great Song Dynasty would never have the heart to covet and beg, it was better to unite them to completely expel the Tatars from the mainland, a total of 300,000 people, even if their clan was exterminated!

The common people of the Great Song Dynasty can no longer be sacrificed, they are all excellent laborers.

Of course, these two methods can reach the greatest common divisor...... It can reduce the casualties of the Great Song Dynasty, and it can also strike a moderate blow to the Tatars.

Zhang Guoan's owner is currently using this method, and it seems that the effect is slower, but the foundation is very solid.

Wang Defa said: "Why haven't you hired Mamluk cavalry yet? ”

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said: "I am ready to start hiring next year, waiting for the production of glass products and cotton linen to be more ......."

Wang Defa said magnificently: "Let's start hiring now, as long as the materials and money can be exchanged for others to help us sell our lives, we don't want to sacrifice our people, your method of hiring foreigners is well executed!" ”

Zhang Guoan, the island owner, smiled slightly, his friend is a staunch mercenary, and like himself, he resolutely does not want his army to have any blood, but wins from afar.

If you are in close combat, you can use mercenaries.

The original meaning of Mamluk is "slave", because of the different transliteration, it is also translated as "Mamluk", which first appeared in the "Turkic Ghulam" system during the Abbasid dynasty of the Arab Empire, and gradually formed a unique military aristocratic group.

The Mamluks were slave soldiers who served the Arab Caliphate in the Middle Ages, mainly to the Ayyubid dynasty in Egypt. Later, with the decline of the caliphate and the dissolution of the Ayyubid dynasty, they gradually became a powerful military ruling group and established their own Bourji dynasty in 1250, which has ruled the region of Egypt until now.

The Mamluk predecessor, the Ghulam Guard, grew out of the political struggles of the mid-Abbasid period.

The eighth caliph of the Abbasid dynasty, Mutassim, was the son of a Turkic slave girl, and after he ascended the throne, he was deeply jealous of the Persian nobles in the court at that time, so he hired a group of Turkic warriors from Central Asia through his mother to serve as his own bodyguard, which was the earliest "Ghulam" and laid the foundation for the later Mamluks.

The Crusades of the 11th century had a major impact on the Arab region, and the Mamluks appeared on the Arab political scene as an independent military bloc under Saladin's command. And because of their military exploits, these slave-born generals established their own dynasty in Egypt.

In 1261, the Mamluks defeated the Tatars at Ain Jalu near Palestine and Syria, the first time in the history of the Mongol conquest that the Mongols were completely annihilated by their opponents.

Another example was the Western Expedition of the Mongol cavalry, in which the Mongol light cavalry was almost invincible, but suffered a great loss under the resistance of the Egyptian Mamluk cavalry.

Their victory was not accidental, and there are many reasons for this, but one important one is that the Mamluk cavalry grew up on the border between East and West, and although it was still technically part of the Eastern light cavalry, it was also influenced by some Western heavy cavalry, especially that it no longer had simple leather armor, but was also equipped with chain mail.

In the face of the cavalry of other Eastern peoples, its protective effect can be called heavy cavalry.

Coupled with the excellent breed of Arabian horses and Damascus scimitars, their mobility and melee abilities should not be underestimated. The defeat of the Mongol cavalry is not a myth.

The war was of great significance.

It marked the end of the vigorous Tatar expedition to the west, which prevented the victorious Tatar army from capturing the Holy Land of Jerusalem and prevented the Tatar army from finally setting foot in African countries.

They thus protected the ****** Arab civilization from the complete destruction of the Tatar army, and at the same time caused the center of Arab civilization to shift to Egypt.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, and his friends thought in advance that this was a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty.

The Tatar army was kept afloat mainly by looting, and they forced the servant army to do the same, and if he Sham defeated the Mamluk army and absorbed them, the Tatar army would have reached a terrifying level......

Wang Defa asked, "What is the price of the cavalry on horseback among them?" ”

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said: "Ten kilograms of pepper can hire a team of 300 people, and if it is counted individually, it can also be counted with cotton and linen cloth that can reach the weight of a cavalryman's body." ”

"They buy cloth by weight?"

"Yes, the price is really not expensive, and it is life and death...... This plane slave soldier is worthless. ”
