Just when Zhang Xiao and the others marched into the battlefield of the three major tribes, the thirteen Bedouin tribes who migrated away from Koso had already entered the territory of Egypt and advanced in the direction of Cairo.

After all, it was the migration of thirteen tribes, and there were quite a few people involved.

Therefore, it is impossible to hide the Egyptian side from the actions of such a vast number of people.

After entering Egypt, the whereabouts of the migrating Bedouin tribes were reported to the Egyptian royal family.

If it were an ordinary country, it would probably send troops to stop it.

Unfortunately, in Egypt during this period, the state's army was completely ornamental, and even the state was a vassal of the Ottomans. Therefore, the Egyptian royal family has no such intention at all.

It can be seen how broilers the Egyptians were during this period.

Fortunately, the news that the Bedouin tribes were going to migrate over was reported in advance by the imperial soldiers sent by Zhang Xiao to follow Ma Bangde, so Ma Bangde, who got the news, quickly contacted the Egyptian royal family and told them not to be too nervous, these Arab tribes were already vassals of the empire.

In this way, the Egyptians breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Ma Bond also sent people to meet them, and by the way, before arriving at the concession, he reassured the Bedouins and asked them to avoid any conflicts with the locals after entering Egypt.

Of course, Ma Bond also prepared a large number of supplies and asked people to bring them with them.

After all, tens of thousands of people from thirteen tribes migrated to settle in the concession, and they needed a lot of living materials. At the same time, after migrating all the way, these people also need to have a good meal, don't they?

And by providing food and necessities, they were able to see and feel the friendliness of the Empire.

Of course, that's not enough, and Ma Bond is starting to get busy here. Prepare to negotiate with the Egyptian royal family to expand the scope of the concession so that it can be used to arrange thirteen tribes.

After all, it is a population of tens of thousands, and it is only the territory of today's concession. It's still a bit difficult to arrange it.

But, in any case, Ma Bond is still very welcoming to the Bedouin tribes who have migrated over. Because with their arrival, they can make the Egyptian concession stronger.

At the same time, for Zhang Xiao, who was still in Cuman, Ma Bond was also a little worried.

After all, they only have a strength of 4,000 people, and they are still too disadvantaged to fight against the three major tribes.

If the Bedouin tribes also remained in Cuman, they could also provide some help. But now the Bedouin tribes have left somewhere and migrated to Cairo.

So. Zhang Xiao and the others can now say that they are fighting alone.

Although I provided supplies and other support, it was not so convenient after all.

Thinking of this, Ma Bond also had a headache.

But since Zhang Xiao chose to stay, he must have a lot of confidence in the future, otherwise he would not have made such a decision.

Moreover, several Chinese warriors who returned with the Bedouin tribe also brought back some letters written by Zhang Xiao to Ma Bond. In these letters, Zhang Xiao clarified his attitude and plans to Ma Bond.

For Zhang Xiao's plan. Ma Bond is still very satisfied.

Because if all of them are smooth, they will really be able to obtain the hegemony of Cuman in the end, as Zhang Xiao said, and truly control Cuman in the hands of the empire.

It's just that. This is just Zhang Xiao's plan, after all, anything can happen in the war. It is impossible to be as smooth as I expected.

Alas!

Ma Bond put away his somewhat confused thoughts and looked up at the blue sky.

Although I am a little worried about this. But Zhang Xiao still stayed in Cuman after all, and had already made up his mind to implement his own plan.

In other words, no matter how much you worry about it, it won't help. So what he can do now is to ensure the supply of the materials that Zhang Xiao needs.

Because neither he nor Zhang Xiao have been opened to the public, unlike Wang Shan and Zhang Tie, it is impossible to easily obtain the materials they need, so that there will be no problems with logistics.

If Zhang Xiao also had this kind of authority, then Ma Bond would not be so worried.

I don't know how His Highness is in the East?

It would be nice if His Highness could raise his administrative rank as much as possible, and then he would be able to open up the authority of more people, and then let them easily obtain more of the things they need through the guò virtual trader.

If the governors of the European and Egyptian concessions could have such authority.

Then, the development of the concession will become better and faster.

But Ma Bond smiled self-deprecatingly, and he also knew that he was completely delusional.

The delegation of authority will not be able to take your turn.

Because if you want to develop, you must first focus on the mainland of the Americas.

After all, the native of the Americas is the foundation of these people, and even the local area will not develop well, and the development of the concession alone is useless.

Besides, the Empire has now discovered Australia and has landed in Southeast Asia to start exploring, so if His Highness's administrative level is raised, it will definitely focus on these two places.

The reason is also very simple, because these two places are easier to occupy and develop than Europe and North Africa, and there are no 'strong' forces anywhere.

Moreover, His Highness has already seized Kyushu from the Wa Kingdom and turned it into the territory of the empire. Therefore, if you can place a governor with authority in Kyushu, you can radiate the power of the empire to the Eastern Continent, and no matter how you look at it, it will be more beneficial.

And Lisbon and Marseille in Europe, as well as the Cairo concession under the control of North Africa itself, were only used to sell the goods of the empire and do some intelligence gathering.

Within ten years, it is impossible for the authority to be open to these three places, so it is in vain to think about it.

Poor Zhang Xiao, I hope I won't encounter any danger.

"Governor! The Egyptian side has come, presumably to discuss with you about the expansion of the concession. ”

Ma Bond's thoughts were interrupted by his men.

"Oh, let them wait in my office, and I'll be there."

Ma Bond waved his hand.

About half an hour later, Ma Bond cleaned up and went to the governor's office in the concession.

"Hello, Honorable Governor." Ma Bond's secretary pushed open the door and walked in. Then he stepped aside, and Ma Bond's figure immediately appeared in the doorway. Seeing Ma Bond's figure, a man who was originally sitting on the sofa quickly stood up and greeted Ma Bond who walked in. "Hello, Commissioner Mahad." Ma Bond nodded, and responded with a smile on his face.

Walked to his desk and sat down, Ma Bond put his hands on the table to support his upper body, put away the smile on his face, and looked seriously at the affairs officer sent by the Egyptian royal family.

"Officer, you're coming to me this time. Presumably the expansion of the concession has already been seen, right? ”

The Cairo magistrate named Mahad laughed and said, "Your Excellency, this is indeed the case. After consultation between the royal family and the Ottoman governor of Cairo, it was decided that the concession could be expanded. ”

After all, the empire was a 'leased' place, so if you want to expand, you will inevitably need to get permission from the Egyptian side.

This is a small trouble.

However, because we are in an era when there is no concept of a state, it is much easier to obtain concessions and expand them than in the future.

If you put it in modern times. That's never going to be easy.

"So, what do we need to give?"

Ma Bond heard from the other party that he had already been agreed, and a slightly hanging heart finally let go. So. At this moment, Ma Bond is in a very good mood.

Of course, he also knew very well that if he didn't give something, Egypt and the Ottomans would not be able to get along so easily.

As for what they want. In fact, Ma Bond could have guessed with his knees.

What the Cairo Concession has is nothing more than a strong economy.

On the contrary, both the Egyptian royal family and the Ottomans who controlled Egypt. These are the days when finances are very tight.

Then, what these people need to pay for themselves must be money.

Still, Ma Bond asked pretendedly.

At the same time, Ma Bond's heart has become despised for the cowardice and cowardice of the Egyptians to the point of no return. Because the Egyptian royal family actually had to obtain the consent of the Ottomans who sent them to Cairo as governors to inform themselves of such a 'small matter' as the expansion of the concession.

It can be seen that the Egyptians have reached a certain point at this time.

However, Zhang Xiao will not express any opinion on this, after all, the interests of the empire here in Egypt are not very large, and he can't make trouble with the Ottomans because of these.

Besides, after some private arrangements by himself, he has already found a big problem for the Ottomans in Hungary, which is enough to give the Ottomans a headache, isn't it.

Thinking of this, Ma Bond was even happier.

The Egyptian affairs officer sitting on the sofa in the corner of the office was very happy to feel Ma Bond's affection, but he didn't think too much about it.

I just thought that it was because the concession was allowed to expand, so the governor of the Song Empire would be so happy, and he knew that it was because the Hungarian side had played against the Ottomans.

"The concession can be expanded, to the west and to the south, as long as the empire can come up with a sum of money."

Without being verbose, the official directly sued the Ottoman governor of Cairo and the price offered by the Egyptian royal family.

Hey!

The problem that money can solve is not a problem, as long as you recognize the money, it will save a lot of trouble.

Ma Bond laughed in his heart.

Money is nothing to the empire, and the empire has a lot of money.

"Okay! After the expansion of the concession, the land we need will be handed over to Cairo at the price of five silver livres per acre, and I think this price will be satisfactory to you. ”

Because of the special geography of Egypt, there were many European merchants, especially French merchants.

Therefore, there are a large number of European currencies circulating in Egypt, such as the French currency 'Livre', which Egypt also recognizes.

Of course, the Ottomans also recognized this currency.

Who made the Ottomans' currency not so high in silver and gold?

The clerk nodded repeatedly, and the look of joy on his face was unobstructed.

Seriously, the price given by Ma Bond really exceeded his expectations. You know, the Ottoman governor of Cairo before he came, and the Egyptian royal family, had only three or four European silver coins...... (To be continued......)
