I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

"Long live Allah!"

In the Governor's Mansion of Aden, Sasher did not have the warning bell outside, as usual, he stood up unhurriedly after completing the last ceremony of worship.

"Where is the enemy!"

As the most important trading port connecting the East and the West, as well as the most important trading port in Yemen, Aden is often attacked by the sea and the western forces in the north. This kind of thing happens a lot, and Sash'er, as the governor, is used to it.

Anyway, he is already familiar with the process, and he can rely on whoever is strong. As long as he can keep his position and give him the money and treatment to enjoy life, he doesn't care whether it is a man or a ghost who controls Yemen.

Perhaps it was this guy's sloppy character that made many rulers who once occupied Yemen treat this guy lightly, and even rewarded him in order to win him over.

"Your Excellency, the enemy is not clear yet, but according to reports from the people below, there are many large ships on the sea, and the ship traders on board cover the entire sea like white clouds. Oh, by the way, two of them are made of pure steel. "

Sa Xuer, who was changing clothes, suddenly turned her head to look at the officer who came to report.

"Are you sure you haven't slept in the lake? How can steel float on the sea? It's a big joke. I can tell you that in this world, the only person who can make steel float on the sea is our great Allah."

The officer spread his hands with aggrieved expression, "But Governor, the people below did report like this, and I also took a look at it from a distance, it seems that it is really steel!"

half an hour later...

"By God, it is steel."

Sa Xuer stared blankly at the densely packed warships in the distance, especially the two steel warships that radiated a deep cold light under the sunlight.

Sahul could swear to Allah that before today, except for the great Allah family, he would never believe that mortals could do it and make steel float on the water.

But today he really saw that it was hard for Sashu'er to imagine what kind of powerful power could do what a god could do.

Stretching out her hand and praying, Sa Xuer smiled under the familiar expression of the officer next to her, and stood humbly by the pier, ready to welcome the envoy sent by the opposite ship.

"Port of Aden, I, Zheng He, are back."

Zheng He, who got off the Dingyuan ship and took a small boat to the shore, saw the faint figure on the dock in the distance and the crescent flag fluttering by the sea breeze, and a flash of memory flashed in his eyes.

Zheng He is no stranger to the place of Aden. When he returned from the west in embarrassment a few years ago, he once stayed here for a while.

During this short stay, something happened that made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Sa Xuer is a guy who is cowardly when he is strong and arrogant when he is weak. To put it bluntly, he is a snobbish person.

When encountering a powerful force that cannot be defeated, the one who kneels is called a straightforward one, and the body can be as straight as it wants.

But if he encounters those small forces that are not as powerful as him, this guy will put on a high-ranking appearance, and he will be as cruel and dark as his heart is.

When Zheng He retreated here with his fleet, due to the shortage of water and food, he asked Sa Xuer that the fleet could enter the port for supplies.

Seeing Zheng He and his party in a panic, Sa Xuer looked obviously being chased and killed. Although he didn't have any intention of killing people and seizing the ship, he opened his mouth. (Mainly because I dare not, for fear of offending those who pursued and killed Zheng He.)

Not only did they charge high parking fees, but Zheng He was also required to pay a hazard subsidy.

The reason is that by helping Zheng He and others, he offended the enemies who chased and killed Zheng He later, so this danger subsidy is to prevent disasters caused by Zheng He and others to Aden. The cost of this coming trouble

The situation was urgent at that time, and the pursuers would arrive at any time. Zheng He didn't bother to argue with this guy, so he gritted his teeth and paid the money, and bought the water and food supplies provided by the other party at a price ten times higher than the market price.

Seeing the other party's triumphant appearance when he collected the money, Zheng He swore in his heart that when he returned someday, he would make this guy kneel on the ground and kiss his boots as an apology.

Today he finally came back, and he came with a tyrannical army.

Sash'er is such a fool, it is estimated that he is almost ready to surrender now.

"Welcome guests from afar to Aden, may Allah bless you!"

As Zheng He's boat approached the pier, Sa Xuer, an old fritter, stretched out her hands with a smile on her face, and warmly greeted Zheng He.

The enthusiastic look on his face seemed to make him happier when Zheng He came than his own father.

Looking at the warm and friendly appearance of the other party, Zheng He smiled and whispered to himself.

"May your Allah, indeed, bless you."

Stepping onto the pier, Zheng He also opened his hand with a smile, and hugged Sa Xuer who came trotting over.

The two people looked like this, people who didn't know it thought they were old friends who hadn't seen for many years.

"Welcome, my guest!"

"Haha, Your Excellency Governor, you are welcome. We are old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time."

With the enthusiastic appearance of the other party, Zheng He knew that the other party did not recognize him, otherwise, with the cleverness of Sa Xuer, he would have come to kneel in front of him with a sliding shovel and begged for forgiveness.

Hearing Zheng He's words that he hadn't seen for a long time, Sa Xu'er froze for a moment, took a step back, looked up and down at Zheng He who was smiling and looking at him, her mind was spinning quickly, wondering when she had seen him.

This person is very familiar, and the flag hung by the other party seems to have been seen somewhere.

Sa Xuer looked through his memory for a long time, but he couldn't find a familiar face, but he always felt that the person in front of him was somewhat familiar, and he seemed to have seen the flag with the sun and the moon on that side.

But after all, more than 4 years have passed, and Sa Xuer sees countless people every day. Zheng He, who was just a one-sided meeting, is just a role of being taken advantage of in his heart, and he forgot in a blink of an eye. Not much impressed.

"Your Excellency, the Governor, you are so forgetful. It seems that Zheng has been forgotten."

Seeing the other party frowning and thinking hard, the smile on the corner of Zheng He's mouth deepened.

"Zheng?"

Sa Xu'er frowned even tighter. He seemed to have heard such a strange surname before.

"4 years ago, the fleet from the east, I was being chased by the enemy, I wanted to get some water and food from you, but you were very hospitable and sold me the water and food at a high price, and it was more than a dozen double the price."

"Your Excellency the Governor's kindness, Mr. Zheng has kept it in his heart, thinking day and night, when will he come to the Gulf of Aden again to repay you!"

The other party really didn't think about it, and Zheng He didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and directly pointed out the relationship between the two.

Sa Xuer: Damn, not friends, but enemies, this is a disaster, is there still time for me to run away?

"That, this..."

After Zheng He's reminder, Sa Xu'er seemed to remember that such a thing really happened.

He vaguely remembered that it was a windy and stormy day, probably in the morning, more than a dozen ships approached the port in a panic.

Among them was a guy who looked very similar to the person in front of him. He seemed to be the person in front of him. He personally visited him, hoping that he could provide temporary shelter and sell some food and water sources to the fleet.

When Sa Xuer saw the other party's appearance at the time, he thought it was an exiled dynasty, so he was not polite, and directly slapped him hard.

After all, the forces of the exiled dynasty are all rich and rich. Instead of letting them go and benefiting the enemies behind, it is better to make a fortune first.

Sa Xuer, who has made a lot of money, collects money from the other party for various reasons, and increases the price of the item by more than ten times, and does not allow the other party to go to the dock to buy it privately, so he can only wait for his people to deliver it. , and checkout.

That day, he was completely overwhelmed. The golden gold and white silver were so dazzling that he couldn't open his eyes.

Touching the cold gold and silver, Saxuer was thinking, if there were more exiles like this, he would probably become the richest person in the world soon.

Thinking of what happened that day, he looked at the huge fleet on the other side's sea, and focused on the two mighty and domineering steel warships.

Saxu'er's smile froze on her face, he hesitated and didn't know how to explain.

The officer who was beside him heard the conversation between the two of them the whole time, and learned that his side had a feud with the other party. He glanced at the huge fleet on the sea and the majestic steel warship. The officer's face was full of bitterness.

If he had known that the enemy was so powerful, he should have found a chance to escape just now, instead of following the idiot Sa Xuer to give the other party his head.

Thinking that a big battle might happen next, the guard officer grasped the handle of the knife at his waist, ready to burst out with all his strength at any time, kill a bloody path, and escape.

The people on the opposite side grabbed their weapons, and Zheng He's guards were not to be outdone, they stretched out their hands to hold the handles of their guns at their waists, and were also ready for a conflict to break out.

The distance between the two sides is only a few meters. In such a close-range situation, whether the sword is faster or the gun is faster depends entirely on the individual's reaction.

The actions of the two guards made the atmosphere tense for a while.

Sa Xuer looked embarrassed, looked at Zheng He who was smiling and staring at him at a loss, opened his mouth many times, and didn't know what to say to ease the relationship between the two parties.

Zheng He did not resolve the delicate atmosphere between the two parties, but just looked at each other with a smile.

After a while, seeing that the other party hadn't figured it out yet, Zheng He frowned slightly, and gestured a few times in the direction of the iron-clad battleship with his hands behind his back.

"My lord has an order, fire a cannon to give the other party a long spirit!"

Squatting on the watchtower, Deng Yun'an, the captain of the Dingyuan ship who watched Zheng He through the binoculars, received the signal from Zheng He, and immediately ordered the artillerymen to fire according to the plan.

"Boom, boom!"

The sound of rumbling artillery broke the tranquility of the atmosphere, and the shells from both sides roared and slammed into the residential area on the pier.

As the lead wire of the cannonball was triggered to explode, the place where the cannonball fell, the building with a radius of several 10 meters collapsed and turned into ruins in an instant.

"Once upon a time!"

Sa Xuer's guards pulled out their weapons nervously, and Zheng He's guards also raised their guns and aimed at the opponent.

"Don't be nervous, it's just my battleship's daily training!"

Zheng He stopped the guard behind him holding a gun, and explained to Sa Xuer with a smile.

Sa Xuer's eyelids twitched wildly, and she turned her head to look at the ruins surrounded by smoke and dust and screams of panic, and swallowed hard.

He knew it was a deterrent. This was the yellow-skinned guy on the opposite side, showing off his muscles.

At the same time, it reminded him vaguely that the previous festivities were temporarily put aside, and now he can make a choice.

If you choose well, hello everyone, hello everyone, a harmonious family is a family.

If a wrong choice is made, the entire port of Aden will be reduced to ruins like that residential area, completely disappearing in this world and returning to the embrace of Allah.

He glanced at the huge fleet that covered the entire sea, and the two ironclad ships that raised their muzzles high and continued to emit destructive power at any time.

Sa Xuer finally couldn't bear it any longer, and her knees went limp and she knelt down in front of Zheng He.

"thump!"

Both knees hit the ground heavily, Sa Xu'er raised her hands high and threw herself forward, performing a five-body throwing salute.

"My lord, Sasher is well aware of my mistakes, but please, for the sake of Allah, give me one more chance. I am willing to lead the port, put it under your name, and become your vassal!"

Zheng He didn't pay attention to him, and glanced behind him indifferently, holding his weapon tightly, watching out for Zheng He's and other Sash'er's guards.

"Bastard, what are you doing, why don't you kneel down quickly."

After waiting for a long time without getting a response, Sa Xu'er raised her head quietly, glanced at Zheng He secretly, and saw that the other party's eyes were not on her, but behind him.

Sa Xuer glanced back and saw that her guard was still holding a weapon, and she was vigilant against Zheng He and the others. She panicked for a moment, worried that such actions would anger Zheng He and cause death, so she hurriedly yelled loudly.

The guards heard the words, look at me, and I look at you. Finally, under Sa Xuer's stare, they put down the weapons in their hands helplessly and lay down on the ground.

"Control the entire port, this will be our supply base in the west in the future."

Zheng He, who had avenged his original revenge, looked at Sa Xuer who was prostrate at his feet, not even daring to move, and nodded in satisfaction.

Although the two parties have feuds, they have not yet reached the point of life-and-death enmity.

His mission this time is to sell arms, and he is acting as an official of the Ming Dynasty, not here to kill and rob, so try not to cause conflicts if possible.

Although I forgave the other party, there is still some compensation that should be paid.

The other party had cheated him of so much money, and he took a port as compensation, which Zheng He felt was a very reasonable request.

The port of Aden, which is very important in both the East and the West, was easily acquired by Daming.

Chapter 330: The official mission to maintain world peace, Daming!

"Your Highness, Chief Zheng is calling!"

Gulf of Aden area, off the coast of Oman.

Ten warships with pirate flags sailed through the waves. Zhu Zhangui, wearing a ship-shaped pirate hat and a western-style gentleman's suit, was observing the surrounding situation against the chart.

"Read!"

Zhu Zhangui raised his hand, signaling to the messenger to read it directly.

"Our Ministry has successfully conquered the Aden Wharf and has established a firm foothold here. The invitation letter for the military expo has also been sent out, and we have sent people to spread the news of the prosperity and prosperity of our Ming Dynasty. I believe that this expo will be very successful."

"I see, tell him, just follow the plan."

Zhu Zhangui and Zheng He's plan is very simple. Zheng He acted on the surface, while selling arms to various countries, while mobilizing the right and wrong of all parties to make them mess up, thus causing greater military conflicts.

Naturally, weapons are needed to fight a war, and if one wants to make money by selling arms, there is no chance if one does not fight.

Isn't a certain beautiful country in the future just making money selling arms while sowing discord?

And Zhu Zhangui's task is also very simple, that is, to rob the Quartet as a pirate and collect more funds for Daming.

In addition, his other task is to rob the money from selling arms.

Daming sells arms and needs cash to buy, and does not accept any IOUs. Buyers must go to the Gulf of Aden to trade. Daming does not deliver goods to the door, and there is no return or exchange after going out.

As one of the sellers, in order to ensure the safety of funds, it is reasonable for me to send someone to your country to go to the trading point with the money.
