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

Not long after Zheng He received the telegram, there was a knock on the door, followed by the voice of his bodyguard.

"I see, please ask him to go to the living room first, and I will be there soon!"

The Suyinshi Canal is the top priority of the Ming Dynasty's plan.

As the leader of this project, Zheng He felt that he should first get in touch with the people of the Mamluk dynasty to promote the friendship between the two sides, so that he would not be embarrassed when he asked for things in the future.

The Mamluk Dynasty is a not very well-known force in history.

Only the winners are remembered, and the losers are often forgotten.

In the front there was the mighty Arab Empire, in the middle there were the Mongols who stretched across Eurasia, and in the back there was the Ottoman Empire that deterred the whole of Central Asia and Europe.

The Mamluks are a moderate force, if you don’t investigate them or you are an expert in this field, no one has heard of this force.

The Mamluk dynasty, located in the Nile region, is divided into the early and late periods. The early period was controlled by the descendants of the Turks, and the later period fell into the hands of the Caucasians.

In the 14th century, the power reached its peak, and it has been blocking the striding Ottoman Empire. It was not annexed by the Ottoman Empire until the mid-to-late 15th century.

At this time, the Mamluk dynasty has begun to slowly decline due to the domestic situation, natural disasters and the persecution of the Ottoman Empire.

Without the help of external forces, I believe it will not be long before this country will become a stepping stone of the Ottoman Empire, buried in the dust of history.

The Mamluk dynasty didn't know much about the power of Ming Dynasty, and they hadn't even heard of it before.

The reason why they came here to participate in the exhibition this time was not because they were interested in those so-called powerful weapons, but because they heard that people from the Ottoman Empire were coming, so they came here.

People in the Mamluk dynasty thought that something that could even attract Ottomans was definitely a good thing.

Out of the idea that what the enemy values ​​is a good thing, they rushed over to have a look.

They arrived yesterday, a day before the Ottomans.

The representative is the Minister of State Affairs of the Mamluk Dynasty. His purpose of coming this time is simply to see if he can buy something and put it aside first, and try to give the enemy's business to Huo Huo.

But when he came to Aden yesterday and saw two steel battleships floating on the sea with his own eyes, the minister of state changed his mind.

Yesterday he wrote a letter to the king overnight, clearly describing what he saw and heard.

In the letter, he explained emphatically that the strength of Daming was unimaginable by human beings, and the steel warship was like a creation of a god.

This military exhibition is an opportunity for the rise of the Mamluk dynasty. I hope the king will pay attention to this exhibition and seize this opportunity to make the Mamluks take off again.

After the letter was sent out, the Minister of State Affairs has not been idle all day, and has been collecting information about Daming. What will appear at the Inquirer Fair?

For example, will Daming sell powerful weapons or technology?If you sell things, are the two ironclad warships among them?Questions like whether the other artillery battleship Daming can be sold or not.

But after inquiring for a day, the people he asked were all clueless.

Daming kept this aspect too strict. Apart from Ming people, even Sa Xuer, who presided over the preparation of the trade fair, didn't know much about it.

And just when the Minister of State Affairs went back in a lonely state, waiting for the two-day fair to officially start, a guest came outside his door, and the other party told him that the famous Lord Zhenhai wanted to invite him to dinner.

Received this invitation, the Minister of State Affairs jumped three feet high happily, then took a shower happily, and arrived at the Governor's Mansion in a hurry, preparing to attend the dinner party invited by Zheng He.

The dinner was just a simple 4 dishes and one soup, and no delicacies from mountains and seas were prepared.

In this regard, the minister of state affairs of the Mamluk dynasty not only did not feel neglected, but felt very honored.

The two didn't talk about anything, just chatted with each other about the customs and customs of each country, and talked about some interesting historical facts, and the dinner ended.

Just before leaving, Zheng He said a few words to Qi.

"I, Ming, express my sympathy for your country's oppression by the Ottoman Empire, and I strongly condemn it."

"My Ming Dynasty, a peace-loving country, has always maintained the policy of one world and one dream. For any force that dares to destroy world peace, my Ming Dynasty will strictly resist and impose some strong sanctions."

"I hope that your country can work hand in hand with me, Ming, to maintain the beautiful peace in this world."

The Mamluk minister of state almost cried.

Daming, good man!

On the first day of the fair, people from the Aturu family finally rushed over.

That night, Zheng He hosted another banquet in honor of Muke, the patriarch of the Atulu family, and invited the Mamluk ministers of state affairs to attend.

Of course, this time it is not four dishes and one soup, but a very hearty roasted camel.

Looking at the roasted camel simmering on the fire, the Minister of State Affairs thought about the dry four dishes and one soup a few days ago, and suddenly felt sour in his heart.

In the third year of Hongxi, the first day of April.

As the red sun climbed out of the eastern sea, the world's first military exhibition was officially held at the wharf of the Gulf of Aden.

The representatives of various countries who woke up early, wearing the most solemn clothes, holding the invitation letter, and under the envious eyes of other small forces that did not get the invitation letter, walked into the military exhibition with their heads high.

Sales fair venue.

As soon as they entered the venue, the bodies of representatives of various countries and forces trembled violently.

On both sides of the gate of the venue, there are more than a dozen square formations composed of hundreds of people.

These people lined up neatly, wearing all kinds of armor.

There are fish scale armor, light armor, stepper armor, Shanwen armor, etc...

In addition, there are knight armor worn by Western knights, and very Westernized plate armor.

In addition to the armor on these soldiers, there are also various weapons that are illuminated by the sun and exude a cold light.

Mace, Fang Tian's painted halberd, Qinglong Yanyue knife, knight's spear...

A pair of long weapons, matched with the armor on the soldiers, looks so mighty and domineering.

"By Allah, what a perfect armor!"

Some uninformed Arab natives almost drooled when they saw the armor worn by the majestic soldiers.

If it weren't for the large number of people now, and they had to take into account the face of their own forces, these guys would probably rush straight up, strip off the soldiers' armor and put them on themselves.

In addition to the phalanx wearing armor and holding various weapons, there are also weapon racks on both sides of the passage.

Huanshou Dao, Yan Ling Dao, Qinglong Sword, and the simple and domineering machete, all kinds of short weapons, the number is as high as dozens.

Walking further back, there are cavalrymen in heavy armor and heavy weapons in their hands, and ranged soldiers in all kinds of light armor and bows and crossbows in their hands.

Behind the ranged soldiers is a very large stage, with chariots placed under the stage.

These chariots are not only the chariots owned by Daming now, even the chariots from the Spring and Autumn Period were displayed by Zheng He. I really don’t know where Zheng He got these old antiques. I hope these things can be sold.

Some forces and countries mainly in the plain area, the moment they saw the chariot, they rushed over directly, holding on to the chariot no matter what, wishing they could drive away now.

In just this opening scene, all kinds of cold weapons and all kinds of mighty and domineering armored chariots dazzled the representatives of various countries and forces.

The expressions of these representatives are completely like the old townspeople who want to see this and want to see that.

It's not that these people are ignorant, but that the West in this period is really not like the movies of later generations, where all kinds of exquisite armor are everywhere.

At this time in the Western era, due to the backwardness of production technology, soldiers who can mix a set of leather armor on the battlefield are considered elite.

As for those wearing exquisite armor, they are all equipment inherited from various noble families.

For ordinary soldiers, not to mention armor and equipment, it would be nice to have an ax in their hands as an enemy-killing equipment.

So those who advocate Western bananas, your so-called civilized people, are just a group of degenerated savages in front of our ancestors.

"Is Daming so powerful?"

Disguised as a guard, Omurad, who followed the minister of state to visit various armored cold weapons, asked this question again.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong..."

When all the invited people entered the venue, there was a burst of drumming on the stage.

Everyone who heard the sound of the drum withdrew their eyes that wished to be inlaid on the armor, and looked towards the top of the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Daming Overseas Fair. I am the explainer, Sa Xuer, Governor of Daming Aden."

Sa Xuer, who had changed into an official robe of the Ming Dynasty, stood on the stage with a loudspeaker in her hand, and spoke the opening speech.

"Papa papa..."

There was a burst of applause, and everyone below looked at the nondescript Saxuer on the stage with strange expressions.

Among them, the representative of the Bedouin who nominally controls the Gulf of Aden saw the triumphant appearance of Sashur on the stage, his face was so dark that ink dripped out.

"Ahem!"

along with

After the applause fell, Sa Xuer let out a dry cough, and continued loudly: "This military exhibition is provided by the Ministry of Defense of the Ming Dynasty, the Artisan Battalion of the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ministry of the Navy of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Daming is a peace-loving country, and it is also a country that likes to make friends."

"In Daming's thinking, all of us live in this world, not as rivals competing with each other, but as partners who make progress together."

"I believe that all of you here, as well as the countries and forces behind you, share common ideas, common goals, and common aspirations, just like Daming."

There was another burst of applause from below, but the corners of most people's mouths twitched subconsciously.

Why does this sound so strange?Why do you feel so shameless after hearing this?

"There is an old saying in the Ming Dynasty that human nature is inherently good, which means that from the moment a person is born, his heart is kind, and he has no intention of hurting others, let alone annexing others."

"However, there are a small number of people. From the moment they were born, they had eyes that were hostile to the world. They waged wars and invaded the territory of other countries, killed civilians in other countries, robbed other countries' property, and destroyed the world. Destroyers are what everyone looks forward to. peace and beauty.”

"Da Ming is merciful, but also just."

"Facing my friend Da Ming is as warm as spring, and facing these devil-like guys, Da Ming will let him know what the cold of winter is."

"Da Ming produced these weapons not to invade anyone, nor to hurt anyone. It was to protect its own people from being hurt by these demons, and to help those who are being hurt by demons, or who are about to be hurt by demons."

"Papa papa..."

There was another round of applause.

Perhaps the speech was too excited. At the end of the speech, Saxuer stretched out her palms and raised them at 90 degrees and shouted loudly.

"Thanks to the kind Daming, thanks to the righteous Daming, hey, long live Daming!"

Chapter 334: The Yellow Peril, the nightmare of the people in the West, the hopeless whip of God.

"Bah, sycophant!"

Bayi, who was in the crowd below the stage, stared at the person above the stage wearing Daming's official uniform, as if I was from Daming and I was proud of Daming, and spat in disgust.

He couldn't figure it out.

My own family has paid such a high price, but in the end I only got the status of a dog's leg.

And this guy in front of him, just raised his hand and surrendered a pier, and became an official of Ming Dynasty, which is really angry and depressing.

"To shut up!"

Instead of looking at the top of the stage, Mu Ke, who was sizing up the representatives of various countries and forces around him, turned his head and glared at his younger brother.

Surrounded by various forces, there are eyes and ears everywhere. Their identities are still hidden, so they can't talk nonsense, otherwise they will become enemies of all losers.

Mook doesn't envy Sashur, and even sympathizes a little.

Although both parties have taken refuge in Da Ming and will work for Da Ming in the future, their identities and future fates are vastly different.

Sa Xu'er's becoming an official of the Ming Dynasty seems to be awe-inspiring, but she is subject to countless restraints and guards behind her back. As long as she doesn't pay attention, does something wrong or shakes her mind a little, she will lose her position and be dismissed.

Muke is very familiar with Sasher, this guy is notoriously a fool in the surrounding forces.

The mighty Daming has come, and this guy has defected to Daming, but if one day in the future, another force attacks Aden, what should this guy do.

The result is only two.

Either fight the enemy to the death and gain a good reputation for loyalty.

Either surrender to the enemy, and then be settled by the Great Ming Qiuhou.

So no matter how you choose, this guy will not end well in the future.

As for whether anyone will attack Aden, Muke can be 100% sure that there will be, and it won't be too long, probably after the Deming fleet leaves.

The terrain of the Gulf of Aden is so special that any monarch with a little foresight will understand the importance of the location of this place.

If nothing else, just talk about the Ottoman Empire.

They discovered that there is a powerful Ming Dynasty in the east. In order not to be eroded by Ming Dynasty in the future, they will definitely occupy the Gulf of Aden, establish a marine defense line, and block the landing advance of Ming Dynasty.

In addition, Da Ming was thousands of miles away, and it took a very long time to come here. The Gulf of Aden was attacked. Without his side's support, Da Ming's side would not be able to catch up in a short time.
