"El Dorado of West Africa...... Goodit, do you really want Bo'er to be king there? ”

Chen Defang narrowed his eyes, just looking at the "coffee beauty" in front of him. is different from his father Chen Huaiqing's style of accepting wives and concubines, Chen Defang is very dedicated. Gui is the crown prince of a big country, with only one wife and a "female slave" who sleeps - he originally wanted Goodit to be his side concubine, and even the crown princess Jia agreed, but Chen Huaiqing resolutely opposed it...... Chen Huaiqing felt that Goodit had black slave blood (in fact, a black Jewish slave trader) and was born like a "pariah", so he objected.

And without the will of the British king, Chen Defang would not be able to give Goodit the title of side concubine. As a result, as soon as Chen Defang became angry, he publicly declared Goodit to be his slave girl - this did not require the approval of his father.

Although she is a "slave girl", the relationship between Goodett and Chen Defang is to the point of glue. A few months ago, the crystallization of love between master and slave came to the world and was named Chen Bo (also known as Bo. Solomon. Chen). How to arrange this son, who has more than ten percent black blood, has become the biggest problem in Chen Defang's heart. It is impossible to make him his heir, Chen Defang and the crown princess Jia have a son, and that is the eldest son and grandson of Anfeng Chen! And Chen Bo is just a concubine born to a "slave girl".

If he is Chen Dexing's concubine, he can also be crowned a king or prince, even if his mother is a slave girl. But Tianzhu is talking about "seeds" here, Goodit. Solomon's "seed" is not good (in fact, her skin color is whiter than most Tianzhu Brahmins and Kshatriyas, but everyone knows that she has a black race), and Chen Bo's "seed" is naturally not too hard. Even if he is crowned the prince of the country. It will also be insulted by a bunch of uncles and brothers (cousins) who "plant" well.

Therefore, it is indeed not a good way out for Chen Bo to stay in Tianzhu all the time. Chen Defang's original plan. It is to let Chen Bo return to Daming to develop when he grows up. After all, this child is Chen Dexing's nephew, as long as Chen Dexing takes care of one or two. There will be a good future.

But Goodit has her own opinions, she wants to get a crown for her son and herself! And in her opinion, there are still a few lost crowns in the world right now, waiting for her and her son to pick them up.

"Yes, it's a rare opportunity!" Goodit. Solomon looked down. "Master, we still have at least twelve thousand Black Samurai...... They have all received the most rigorous training, and they have also fought against the armies of the Celestial Sect and the Brahmanical Sect. If such an army goes to West Africa, it can definitely fight a big empire! And to keep them in Tianzhu can only be a big trouble! ”

The Black Samurai also has no way out in Tianzhu! Because their skin is too dark...... This place in Tianzhu is this rule! Engage in racial discrimination in the open. If you look dark, you don't have human rights! Goodit. Solomon had more than 30 percent less than 40 percent black ancestry, and he couldn't even be a side concubine. What's more, these 100 percent black corn?

It is not possible for these black warriors to become Brahmin masters here in Tianzhu - this will definitely arouse the resolute opposition of the Aryan descendants, and in Chen Huaiqing's view, it is completely self-inflicted.

So these black warriors are now all supported by Chen Defang with his own money - the business taxes looted from Delhi are mainly spent on them. But just spending money to feed these black warriors will not solve the problem.

After all, they are samurai, and they should be members of the aristocratic class, not Chen Defang's black slaves! They have fought for Chen Defang and made meritorious contributions, and Chen Defang has the obligation to reward meritorious deeds. If he keeps shirking and not fulfilling his obligations, this black army may be about to mutiny!

"But Bo'er is still young......" Chen Defang seemed to be hesitating.

Goodit. Solomon whispered, "It doesn't matter. The slave and the slave's father can fight for Bo'er. And it doesn't happen overnight to expand territory in West Africa. The first step was to establish a stronghold on the islands off the coast of West Africa, as a center for the slave trade and as a springboard for invasion of West Africa. Then colonies were to be established off the coast of West Africa. Exploiting Slaves for ......"

It turned out to be Goodit. Solomon already had a rough plan of aggression, which was to rely on the Atlantic slave trade to develop and invade. Using Tran's Black Warrior Legion as the pillar of force, relying on the support of the Ming and Britain. Open up a vast slavery empire in West Africa.

"Goodit, you already have a full plan?" Chen Defang looked at her "black slave girl...... Others said that black slaves were stupid and useless. But his "black slave" is extremely smart.

"There's no overall plan, it's just some ideas." Goodit replied with a smile.

"What is the foundation of the new state?" Chen Defang asked with a frown.

There is gold in West Africa. But it simply can't be done with gold. If a country only has gold, but does not have the corresponding industry, commerce, agriculture and animal husbandry, then gold is worthless and can only become the object of greed of other countries.

"The Black Samurai and the Manor will be the pillars of the country!" Goodit. Solomon replied.

"Can a black knight manage the manor and the country?" Chen Defang will be skeptical. Goodit. Solomon was very smart, and her father Selassie. Solomon also had a bunch of uncles and brothers with the surname Solomon, all of whom were wise men. But this does not mean how smart and capable the black warriors of Chen Defang are......

"Of course, the state and the manor are governed by white people, white people like slaves." Goodit. Solomon explains, "The slave's father wrote to the slave that Kublai Khan's empire was capturing literate Europa people who would be sold as slaves to the Atlantic Chartered Merchants. And one of them is a young woman, who will be sent to Mingzhou, and the rest will be transported to the islands off the coast of West Africa as slaves. The best of them will become the future managers of the country and stewards of the estates. ”

Again: a slave who doesn't want to be a slave owner is not a good slave!

And this empire, which was about to appear in West Africa, was built by slaves and slave owners of all stripes, because it absorbed many literate Europa slaves. In a way, he is also the heir to the Europa civilization. Among the Europa slaves who were first trafficked there, there were many former priests, teachers, or people from noble backgrounds, or noble stewards, as well as some engineers and technicians.

Most of them. He soon found his place in the country founded by the Solomon family, becoming the administrator of the state and the estate, or the teacher of knowledge. And the arrival of these people. It has also greatly improved the backward productivity and culture of black Africa. The backward and inhumane system of slavery was very applicable to black Africa at this time. Relatively advanced technology coupled with slavery that conformed to the law of social development in black Africa. The development of this West African slave empire over the next few hundred years was actually quite good.

When the country was overthrown by the Great White Slave Revolt. The land of sub-Saharan West Africa is dotted with large farms and thriving towns, as well as railways that are more than 10,000 miles long and in excellent working condition.

The country's capital, King Kong City (where the future Sierra Leonean capital Freetown was located), is an extremely prosperous metropolis with a population of more than 2 million. The city is full of magnificent Chinese and European architecture. In the western part of the city, there are also thousands of factories (the workers in the factories are free men), countless chimneys discharge black smoke into the sky day and night, and the water in King Kong Bay is even dyed black.

By the way, due to the greed of West African slave owners (most of whom were descendants of the black warriors of Tran Duc Fong). When this slavery collapsed. Whites had become the dominant ethnographic figure in the country - the whiter the skin of slaves tended to be more expensive during the centuries of the existence of the West African Empire, due to the demands of the market. Because an almost pure white slave is ten to twenty times more expensive than a pure black slave of the same sex and age! And the cost of breeding and feeding them seems to be even lower......

……

"Persia took land to the west and established a state...... Taishan, Yuting, Dawei, what do you think? ”

This night, there seem to be some people who can't sleep. Inside the palace of Taoli Temple. Zhu Sijiu's eyes seemed to be closed, just holding his head and looking at the holy decree in his hand.

The decree was sent by a team of horses sent by the Land Rover to Taoli Temple, and now the Nanyang Fleet has not yet invaded the Persian Gulf, and therefore the waterway to Persia has not been opened - this is not the fault of the Nanyang Fleet. Rather, because the war in Tianzhu in the northwest was progressing somewhat slowly, the armies of Land Rover and Li Tingzhi were firmly stumbled in the Xindu River valley and could not mobilize troops to occupy Muscat, Cape Hamaii and Gershm Island. Therefore, the warships of the South Sea Fleet had no place near the Persian Gulf. Even in naval battles repeatedly defeated the fleet of the emir of Basra. There is also no talk of control of the Persian Gulf.

Because he did not control the Persian Gulf, he could not withdraw from the Indus Valley for a while. Land Rover had no choice but to suppress the holy decree of depriving Zhu Sijiu of his military power. At the same time, he concealed the news of Chen Dexing's western tour, and only sent the holy decree of canonizing Zhu Sijiu as the king of the Qing Dynasty to Taoli Temple.

There was silence in the hall. It was only after the middle of the night that Hai Dawei broke the silence: "Dashuai, the west of Persia is the west of it, in fact, it is also good." Whether it's Asia Minor or the eastern shore of the Mediterranean, it's a good place. And there are no great opponents...... Asia Minor was the territory of the Sultanate of Roma, the Terrazon Empire, and the Eastern Romans. A bunch of weak countries can't stop our army of 100,000. The eastern shore of the Mediterranean is a little stronger, and there are some Mamluks, but they can't beat us! ”

Well, plans don't always keep up with changes! Land Rover didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, in short, Chen Dexing's trick to rectify Zhu Sijiu turned into a real reward!

With three Ming infantry divisions and three Ming cavalry divisions in place, who else could stop Zhu Sijiu in Asia Minor and on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean?

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have a navy in the Mediterranean, Italy would have been able to take it down!

Zhu Sijiu's chief of staff, Xu Tingzi, was still a little apprehensive, but now that he saw Chen Dexing's holy decree, his heart was also settled, and he began to plan for his old boss wholeheartedly.

"Marshal, Asia Minor and the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea would do well to take only one of them. If we take Asia Minor, then our future development direction is Europa! This time, Asia Minor was taken first, and then the two small states of Georgia and Armenia were subdued. Then try to take Constantinople as the capital, or maybe unite Venice and Genoa...... We are mortal enemies of Mongolia, and they are also threatened by Mongolia, so we should be able to unite. ”

Xu Ting paused, and then said: "If the marshal wants to take the east coast of the Mediterranean, then go all the way south to Africa, conquer Egypt, and build a capital in Cairo or Alexandria, which seems to be good." It is said that the land of Egypt is so fertile that it can be used as an imperial inheritance. ”

Zhu Sijiu's eyes fell on his father-in-law Guo Kan. Guo Kan shook his head and said, "Egypt is not good, where will you go after conquering Egypt?" North Africa is desolate and has no future. Or Constantinople is better! In the history of Europa, Eastern Rome was also a great empire, which was based on Constantinople. And...... The old man's fiefdom was in West Persia, which was connected to Asia Minor and could take care of each other. ”

Because Chen Dexing wanted to take back the Ferghana Basin to his direct jurisdiction, Liu Quan was moved to East Persia, and the capital was to be placed in Isfahan, the former capital of the Seljuk Empire. And Guo Kan, who originally planned to build a capital in Isfahan, went to his son-in-law Zhu Sijiu's territory Taoli Temple to build the capital.

For Guo Kan, if Liu Quan is in the east and Zhu Sijiu is in the west, he is of course the safest in his own game. Therefore, he didn't want Zhu Sijiu to go to Egypt, and Egypt was still the ruling center of the Mamluk Sultan, and once it was lost, the Mamluk would be finished. The entire Dashi Peninsula may soon fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and Chen Dexing will be able to directly intervene in the affairs of Persia and Egypt......

Zhu Sijiu frowned, and it seemed that he had been thinking hard: "What Old Taishan said makes sense, it's better to be in Asia Minor...... If Constantinople can be captured, the Qing Kingdom will be able to have a kingly capital. But how to manage this foundation, we have to think about it! Asia Minor is no bigger than Persia, which has been a battleground for centuries, so the population is far less than that of Persia. I heard that Constantinople, the capital of Eastern Rome, now has a population of only 60,000 or 70,000 people, and the whole country is a few hundred thousand people, and the population of the Sultanate of Rûm and the Empire of Trabson is about the same. Taken together, the three countries may have more than a million people. And there are more than 100,000 Han Chinese and Mongols assigned to me in our western army, and most of them are strong men! ”

Guo Kan was stunned and looked at Zhu Sijiu: "Sijiu, what are you thinking?" ”

Zhu Sijiu took a sharp breath: "I want to turn Asia Minor into Han Land!" Let the men of the Han family in the army settle in Asia Minor, marry local women, and then distribute land and live and work in peace and contentment. In this way, for a hundred years at most, Asia Minor will be the world of the Han people. (To be continued.) )
