When Jiao Huangzhong left Damascus, Selim also gave Zhengde a lot of gifts, and also sent a cavalry of 3,000 people as their escort, with this cavalry, plus a thousand elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that no bandit regiment will dare to fight their idea again.

It is worth mentioning that not long after they left Damascus, Selim ordered the Ottoman army to march ahead of schedule and leave Damascus to advance to Egypt.

By the time the Scorched Yellow and the others boarded the ship on the Red Sea coast, Selim had already crossed the Isthmus of Suez and officially entered Egypt, and was advancing towards Cairo with great momentum. As soon as the scorched yellow ships had left the Red Sea and reached the Gulf of Aden, they heard that the Ottoman army had defeated the most elite Mamluk cavalry in front of Cairo, and more than 25,000 Mamluk cavalry had been killed, and the Mamluks could only defend the isolated city of Cairo.

In addition, this battle also marked the fall of the Mamluk cavalry from the altar, you must know that the Mamluk cavalry was the only army that could defeat the Mongol cavalry from the front, but after this battle, the prestige of the Mamluk cavalry was greatly damaged, although there were still Mamluk cavalry active in Egypt and Central Asia in the future, but it could only become a relatively strong cavalry, and could not restore the prestige of the past.

Three days later, Selim stormed Cairo with lightning and soon after the Aresandra, and the entire Mamluk dynasty was officially over. And Egypt finally fell into the hands of the Ottoman Empire. And has been ruled by them for hundreds of years.

When the scorched fleet arrived in India. He has received the news that the Ottoman Empire has occupied the entire territory of Egypt, which makes him very shocked by the powerful army of the Ottoman Empire, although he knows that the Ming navy can be invincible at sea, but in terms of the army, the Ming has just recovered some strength, and it is certain that if the Ming army is replaced to attack Egypt, I am afraid it will be difficult to destroy the Ottoman Empire like this.

The scorched fleet rested for a few days in Goa, India. Now Goa has become the naval base camp of the Ming Dynasty to control the Indian Ocean, and it is also the most prosperous port along the Indian Ocean.

Goa under the Ming Dynasty was far more prosperous than when Portugal ruled several times, which is not to say that the Ming rule was more superb, but because the Ming people's concept is more open, to be precise, in terms of tolerance of religion, the Ming is probably the most enlightened country in the world, because in the concept of the Ming people. Religion is religion, and it has nothing to do with me what others believe. As long as it does not endanger the rule of the Ming Dynasty, then any religion can find soil for growth in the Ming Dynasty.

It is also the above concept, so the Ming in Goa is a very open religious concept, whether it is God or Muslims, or Indian-born Hinduism, or from the Ming Dynasty Taoism and Middle-earth Buddhism, you can build your own temple here, as for the means of preaching, as long as it does not violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, everything else is allowed, which is much more enlightened than the Portuguese who were Catholics in the past, at least they will not deliberately suppress people of other religions, Nor will they force the local natives to convert to Catholicism.

After all, India and West Asia were originally very religious conflicts, each sect wanted to overwhelm other sects, and even forced its own followers to hate people from other sects, and even some ruling institutions would suppress people from other sects, such as the Portuguese before, they would impose heavy taxes on Muslim merchants, and even force local people to convert to Catholicism.

However, it is different to be a Ming Dynasty, Goa welcomes all people who come to live or do business, no matter what sect this person believes, as long as he abides by the laws of the Ming Dynasty, then he will be treated equally by the Ming Dynasty, so that it naturally forms a huge attraction to those merchants, especially the Muslim merchants who were oppressed by Portugal before, are willing to come to Goa to trade, and even buy land and build houses in Goa to settle down, which makes Goa not only recover its original popularity in just one year, but also grow, The port was filled with merchant ships several times as many times as before, and local officials in Goa had to expand the port again to meet the needs of commercial growth.

"Mr. Jiao, everything here in Goa is very new to me, especially when I see Muslims and non-Muslims living together peacefully, and even talking like ordinary friends, which is unimaginable in our Ottoman Empire!" On a bustling street in Goa, a child dressed in a traditional Arabic robe speaks in awkward Chinese to an elderly Han man next to him.

"Murad, the world is colorful, and there are also countless possibilities for the internal rule of the Ottoman Empire, it is difficult for us to define it as right or wrong, after all, every empire has its reason for existence and foundation, and what you have been educated in the past is likely to conflict with what you will see and hear in the future, what you have to do is not to judge who is right and who is wrong, but to open your mind and embrace all kinds of opinions, we have an old saying in the Central Plains, called 'Mount Tai does not let the soil, so it can become big; The river and the sea do not choose a trickle, so you can be deep', and you will also be a person like the mountains and the rivers and seas. The older Han man opened his mouth and explained to him in detail the meaning of the ancient sayings.

"What Mr. Jiao taught is that the disciple understands!" The kid in an Arabic robe bowed down and said, although he was a foreigner, he had a very good grasp of Han etiquette.

This old Han man is Jiao Huangzhong, who signed the Suez Canal Treaty with Selim before, and the child next to him is named Murad, his identity is not simple, because he is the same as Suleiman, he is also Selim's child, and before Jiao Huangzhong left, Selim secretly summoned him again, and entrusted his youngest son to him, so that he could bring Murad back to Daming and never come back.

The Ottoman Empire's succession to the throne is notoriously cruel in history, and even they have specially formulated a "Brother Killing Law", that is, all those who ascend to the throne of the Sultan will kill their brothers and nephews, so as not to threaten their Sultanship.

It may also be the brutal struggle for the throne that year, Selim walked his old path for many of his own sons, so he used a crazy move that everyone felt incomprehensible, that is, after comprehensively considering the quality of his more than 20 sons, he finally selected Suleiman as his heir, and then killed all the other sons, so that Suleiman became his only son, and he did not have to experience the tragedy of his father and son and brother killing each other.

However, as a cautious sultan, Selim also considered that he only left Suleiman's son, what if there was an accident in the growth of this son, or if this son had no other competitors, so he stopped working hard and could not meet his future requirements?

So with this in mind, Selim slaughtered his other sons, and at the same time, he quietly hid a newborn son who was unknown to another place, and sent special people to educate him, so that even if Suleiman had an accident or could not meet his requirements, then he could replace Suleiman with this son, and this youngest son was Murad next to Jiao Huang.

There is also a story about the name Murad, because he was originally the name of Selim's eldest son, when Selim competed with his father and brother for the position of sultan, his eldest son Murad was already an adult, and like him, he was a brave and warlike general, and even the reason why he was able to defeat his father and brother back then was thanks to this eldest son, and when he was on the battlefield, Murad also saved his life many times, so emotionally speaking, Selim and his eldest son Murad have the deepest feelings.

It's just that Selim considered the quality of his son comprehensively, and he found that although his eldest son Murad was as good at fighting as him, he had a shortcoming, that is, he was not very good at administration, if he sat on the throne of the sultan, he could only become the second self at most, and it was absolutely impossible to lead the Ottoman Empire to the top, so under this consideration, Selim finally killed his eldest son Murad in tears, but this incident has always made him very guilty, and it is precisely to commemorate his eldest son, So Selim named the youngest son who replaced Suleiman Murad.

However, Suleiman's performance has always been very good, although in some aspects he still shows a bit of naivety and immaturity, but that is mainly because he is too young, in the future, as he grows older, Suleiman can definitely become a good sultan, and even better in the game, but the better Suleiman performs, the more useless Murad's spare son becomes.

Selim is fifty years old this year, although his body is still very strong, but he himself knows that the years of fighting have seriously damaged his body, and even he sometimes feels that he may not last more than a few years, and Suleiman is also an adult, and he is very good in all aspects, according to his plan back then, he will kill Murad's last son before he dies, but because of the arrival of the scorched yellow, he has another idea.
