"Your Highness!"

Fan Hong, who had just arrived here, bowed solemnly to Murad and said.

He is a viscount, and the latter is the king of the county even if he is an outer domain, and he is four levels higher than him, there is no difference between the rank of the outer domain of the Ming Dynasty and the rank of the inner lord, but only one has the power to elect representatives of the noble house, and the other does not, of course, this difference means that one is the ruler, and the other is the ruler even if the county king is also the ruled, this is an essential gap.

However, in terms of etiquette, it is necessary to strictly follow the rules, otherwise it will be a violation, and if the people's representatives of the Inspectorate see it, they have the right to impeach it on this basis.

"Fan Jingluo doesn't need to be polite!"

Murad, who was already very slippery in Chinese, hurriedly supported him, and then said with a smile: "Fan Jingluo led the imperial army to quell the rebellion for Xiao Wang, and it should be Xiao Wang to thank you." ”

"Your Highness is polite, we are all loyal to the emperor!"

Fan Hong also said with a smile.

Then the two guys were like brothers at first sight, it is obvious that His Royal Highness Murad learned a lot of things from this trip to Daming, including the rules of Daming officialdom are very familiar, in fact, His Royal Highness the King of Egypt specially hired a staff group for this purpose, all of which are specialized in this business, including teaching him Chinese characters, teaching him officialdom rules and various etiquette. Now there are many people in the Ming Dynasty who do this, not only Murad, but also those foreign businessmen and envoys who go to the Ming Dynasty, etc., will also hire this kind of staff, after all, at this time, there are more and more subjects of the Ming Dynasty, and foreign exchanges are becoming more and more frequent, and it is not okay to deal with officialdom without being familiar with the rules. In particular, those who go to the Ming Dynasty are extra careful, for fear of doing something wrong, the Ming people enjoy extraterritoriality in the subject country, but the subjects of the Ming Dynasty will not enjoy any preferential treatment when they go to the country......

Well, in fact, there are still some lawbreakers in the Ming Dynasty, who specialize in living on dirt buns from outside the pit.

Then they have to be more careful.

"Then, Your Highness, it's time to let your subjects know about your return."

Fan Hong looked in the direction of the dock and said.

"It's time for those fools who are still blinded by heresy to hear the voice of the true gods!"

Murad looked in the same direction and said with a solemn expression.

And as far as they could see, a huge red fish-shaped balloon was rapidly bulging, and a cylinder filled with hydrogen was constantly injecting hydrogen into the balloon, and below the balloon was a wooden cockpit, behind the cockpit was a wooden propeller with a diameter of nearly half a zhang, and in front of the cockpit was a large copper horn. At the same time, a soldier in the cockpit was shaking the handle in front of a machine, and soon the machine began to make a sudden noise, and green smoke was rising from a small chimney diagonally below. By this time, the balloon had finished inflating and slowly leaving the ground with the cockpit, and then the soldier turned the propeller clockwise, and then the propeller began to spin at high speed at the sound of the machine. The balloon, or airship, flew west in the sky, rising higher and higher in flight, and soon became a small red dot in the sky, and then disappeared from view.

And at this time, another airship was inflated and lifted into the air, followed by a third, a fourth, and a fifth......

All eight airships were lifted into the air.

All the airships had an announcer, a guide, and in teams of three they went on an air broadcast mission to Egypt, and in fact there was more to it than just broadcasting, there was much more to these airships.

"Your Highness, your subjects should tremble!"

Looking at the airships that disappeared into the blue sky, Fan Hong smiled and said to Murad, who was also looking at the sky beside him.

"This is the punishment that rebels deserve."

Murad said viciously.

Three hours later.

In the southern Egyptian city of Gilja, with a series of screams, the Egyptians who were building barricades to resist the attack of the Ming army raised their heads, and then more screams rang out, more and more people raised their heads to look up at the sky, and even the elders of those temples were looking above their heads with incredible eyes, in the blue sky, a series of red figures gradually became larger, and soon became clear on the blue background.

Suddenly, an Egyptian fell to his knees in terror, and then more and more people fell to their knees and worshiped the heavens with reverence, and it was clear that this kind of thing, beyond their comprehension, was directly regarded by them as gods.

But it's also normal.

It is said that at this time, except for birds, anything else that can fly in the sky may be regarded as a god, not to mention that in Egypt, a place that has been blinded by Mu Dabeard for nearly a thousand years, that is, in Europe, except for the countries that have close ties with the Ming Dynasty and know Emperor Yang's giant airship, the rest are also like this. For example, these airships fly to places such as the Balkans, and they will also be regarded as gods by the people there, in fact, Yang Feng's airships were originally regarded as miracles by the common people in their own country, that is, the common people have gradually lost their sense of mystery after they have known more over the years.

Many of the same elders were also at a loss, they didn't know what it was, and a few of them actually thought that it was Lord Zhen's manifestation, and they were busy urging the people around them to kneel.

But alas......

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty decreed, it was found that there were Xie sect elements in various parts of Egypt to incite good people to rebel and rebel, it is really a great crime, now that the imperial army has arrived, it is not quickly captured, if it continues to be stubborn, the imperial court will build a dam in Aswan to store water and then break the embankment to release water, then the Nile River will flood and both banks will be all buried in the ocean......"

In the sky overhead, a majestic shout rang out.

"They are devils, they are Ming army, don't listen to their demagoguery, they are blaspheming, quickly, quickly defeat them!"

One of the elders suddenly came to his senses, and then shouted like crazy.

It's good that he doesn't shout!

After all, the content of the shouting above his head was not straightforward enough, and those Egyptians couldn't digest so much of the content for a while, and the vast majority of them hadn't actually woken up from the shock at all, but as soon as he shouted this, those who were kneeling on the ground began to seriously think about what was being shouted overhead.

But it doesn't matter, because immediately after that, colorful pieces of paper fell from the sky, and soon someone picked them up, and the pieces of paper were all in the form of comic strips and annotations to introduce the Aswan Dam to the people below, and the consequences of the dam being blown up.

Then the Egyptians all blew up the nest.

They knew better than anyone what the Nile Flood meant, and the worst nightmare of their ancestors was the flood that came down, and the flood meant the destruction of all their homes, their farmland, their lives, everything that would come to naught with the rushing flood.

If the Ming army did this......

Then they will only be destroyed.

Even if the flood can't destroy everything, the famine and plague caused by the flood will also destroy everything, all their agricultural production is arranged according to the cycle of the Nile, in fact, the Ming army does not need to break the embankment, only need to intercept the flow in the dry season, release water in the rainy season, artificially change the cycle of the Nile, Egypt will have to face a devastating disaster, in fact, the water level of the Nile River is only a few meters lower than normal in a certain period, Egypt will have to starve to death countless people.

They are too dependent on the river.

They don't even have a place to hide, Egypt only has the banks of the Nile to live in, the rest of the place is all deserts, at most a few small oases, where can they hide? No matter where they hide, the final result can only be starvation and thirst, those small desert oases cannot feed millions of people, those places can't even feed tens of thousands of people, in fact, the tribes on those oases can't allow them to pass, even if they can temporarily let them take refuge, they will starve to death without food.

Of course, the elders knew this as well, and more and more of the elders, after understanding the content of the monster shouts above their heads, were desperately shouting like crazy to try to stop people from listening, and they were simply shooting at the sky with guns, and they were scrambling to pick up the flyers on the ground and tear them up as fast as they could.

But it didn't work.

Smoothbore flintlock pistols can't hit airships, and tens of thousands of leaflets can't be stopped by them alone.

As eight airships continued to fly over the city, more and more Egyptians knew what the Ming army was doing in Keina, and more and more Egyptians knew that the Ming army would create a great flood of the Nile to flood all the cities on both sides. Also looking at these flying monsters overhead, they were also convinced that the Ming army would definitely be able to do this, after all, everyone was playing fantasy, and what else could they not do, maybe their demon king would come over and stretch out his hand casually, and the Nile would turn into a roaring wave.

"Kill your elders, destroy your temples, burn your scriptures, and henceforth bow humbly at the feet of the Emperor of God, and he will forgive you your sins, and he will give you abundant fruits......"

Immediately after that, the overhead began to broadcast the benefits that would be obtained after returning to the Ming Dynasty.

The two-pronged approach of coercion and inducement is the way of propaganda.

Of course, the Egyptians would not immediately turn against them because of their shouting, but with the voice above their heads depicting the beautiful life after the submission to the Ming Dynasty, the eyes of some of the people below looked at the temple elders a little wrong. After all, they believe in Lao Mu and believe in Lao Mu, but it does not mean that they can dedicate their whole family's lives to pure faith, even if there are fanatical believers, they are only a minority, and the vast majority of them are actually just to get rid of Mamluk's rule. They don't want to be farmers for generations to come, and they don't want to accept rulers from distant and foreign lands, and then be obedient for generations, but the problem is that they have to have generations first, and once the flood comes down, there will be generations.

Faith or profit?

To die for the faith, or to succumb to the invaders and be fed and clothed for generations?

That's a big problem! (To be continued.) )
