Chapter 1023 An enemy's enemy is not necessarily a friend (Happy New Year's Eve everyone!)
This is the governor's office!

When stepping into the gate of the governor's mansion, Ahmed took a special look at it. This building full of Chinese charm, although it is not as magnificent as the Tianshi style building, but in a low-key way, it faintly reveals the official hall. majesty.

"Sir, please follow me."

After Chen Yi led Ahmed into the governor's office, Ahmed immediately saluted respectfully.

"Ahmed, the special envoy of the Mahdi country, has met with the governor, and wishes the governor good health."

"Exemption."

An Fusheng nodded, looking at this Tianfang man in Chinese-style clothing, no, it should be a Sudanese talent.

"There is no Mahdi country in this world at all, and there is no special envoy, Ahmed, if you have anything to say, just say it."

The cold words fell into Ahmed's ears, and he didn't think it was strange, he just smiled.

"Your Excellency, please believe that the Mahdi has never been willing to be an enemy of the Ming Empire. Rather than being an enemy, we hope to be friends with the Ming Empire. What we are fighting against is the rule of the British, a sultan under British rule, for As far as your country is concerned, it is extremely threatening. Before we drive out the British, the British will no longer be able to pass through the Sudan and threaten the empire’s colonies, and the free Sudan will become a friend of the empire.”

This is the simplest truth, the enemy of the enemy is a friend... Ahmed believed that the governor in front of him would definitely be able to weigh the pros and cons.For this, no one will be skeptical.

It's a pity that the one sitting in front of him is An Fusheng, a colonel of the Imperial Army, he asked unmoved.

"There's no need to go so far, tell us what information you brought and want to tell us."

Uh...how is it different from what I imagined!

Ahmed murmured in his heart.

"My lord, listen to me..."

Before he finished speaking, An Fusheng narrowed his eyes again, stared at him and said.

"Since you don't want to say it, then go to the prison and say it, come and lock them up!"

The sudden change of attitude made Ahmed dumbfounded. This... what is the situation?
"Your Excellency, the two countries are fighting without killing each other. This is what you Chinese people say, it is you Chinese people..."

Before Ahmed could finish speaking, An Fusheng sneered.

"Are you the envoy of that country? Drag it on and let the intelligence department ask for his information!"

After the so-called "special envoy" was dragged down, Chen Yi looked at the governor in puzzlement.

"Sir, why is this? They are the enemies of Britain, we can use them to drive the British out of Sudan!"

Standing up, walked in front of Chen Yi, patted his shoulder, An Fusheng said.

"Adjutant Chen, you, you still haven't figured out one thing - who are we!"

……

After Brazil, Ming Dynasty stopped expanding!

Daming's ambition has been fulfilled!

To some extent, it is true that after 1878 the Ming did stop expanding.

It seems that Daming's ambition has been satisfied.

In fact, it should be so. In South America, Ming Dynasty occupied most of the Americas.

In Africa, Ming Dynasty occupied the most fertile area in Africa.

The pace of empire expansion should stop!

Of course, this kind of stop is not because the ambition has been satisfied, but...it takes time to digest.

Digest the fruits of victory already achieved.

There is also a need to ease conflicts of interest with European countries, especially the UK.Especially the differences on the African issue. Although there are a lot of differences between the two sides on the territorial issue, after several years of negotiations, an agreement was finally reached. In the north, the Ming Empire stopped in Ethiopia and Sudan, and recognized Britain’s occupation.

It was also this paper treaty that made the real border line appear on the land of Africa-in fact, it was a line drawn on the map by the diplomats of the Ming Empire and the British Empire.

The national border is actually two boundary markers, they are erected facing each other in fashion, silently looking at each other.

On one side is Sudan under the occupation of the British and Egyptian authorities, and on the other side is the Kenyan colony under the rule of the empire.

Under the moonlight, on one side of the national border, a short and sturdy soldier on the sentry tower walked back and forth on the top of the sentry tower. Occasionally, he would use the searchlight on the top of the tower to shoot into the distance, and his eyes moved in the searchlight column—— —The distance is as calm as ever.

"We can switch defenses in half an hour."

He looked at the time on the watch at the gate of the house, and when he was thinking about when to change his defense, he didn't notice that in the darkness, dark figures were approaching the sentry tower under the cover of twilight and bushes. .

And a few kilometers away, a group of aborigines on horseback wearing robes and scimitars on their waists were observing the sentry tower with binoculars, watching the beam of light move back and forth.

"There are only more than 30 people here?"

Putting down the binoculars, Saidi Mubarak Sultan turned his head and asked.

"Yes, this is a small sentry tower, only stationed with a small group of soldiers."

said the native in a long robe and scarf.Compared with ordinary natives, their skin color is not so dark, and their appearance is closer to Tianfang people. In fact, they are Tianfang people themselves-their ancestors came from Tianfang hundreds of years ago and occupied this land. Engaged in the slave trade, they have been eating grapes, sleeping female slaves, selling black slaves, enjoying the beauty of life, until the arrival of the Ming Empire a few years ago destroyed everything.

The Ming Empire not only occupied Mombasa and all surrounding lands, but also dismantled their privileges, banned the slave trade, and even forced them to convert.A few years ago, they had encouraged the natives—that is, the slaves they plundered—to launch an uprising against Ming rule.

After the uprising failed, they fled to southern Sudan.

Now inspired by the Mahdi uprising in Sudan, and of course supported and encouraged by Mahdi, Saidi Mubarak Sultan led his army south, trying to recapture everything that belonged to him.

"Honorable Sultan, as long as we enter Kenya, there will be people who are dissatisfied with the rule of the Ming Dynasty everywhere, and they will definitely welcome us."

"God bless."

Saidi Mubarak put down the binoculars in his hand and said.

"We will definitely take back what is ours."

Many of the dark-skinned indigenous people only have simple spears, bows and arrows, and only a few have rifles, but they have firm beliefs.

Driven by the officers, they cautiously approached the sentry tower under the cover of bushes as if they were hunting.

Although these shirtless natives are not necessarily qualified soldiers, they are definitely good hunters. They move quietly among the bushes just like they used to hunt, and their dark skin hides them perfectly In the shadow of the bushes.

At the entrance of the house, thinking about the time to switch defenses, and thinking about what to eat today, a dark figure opened his bow and arrows in the shadow of the bushes tens of meters in front of the sentry tower.

"Whoosh..."

Not a single person, nor an arrow, five or six arrows flew towards the entrance of the tower top from several directions, one arrow hit his left arm, and before he could react, several more arrows hid in his body,
"Enemy attack..."

The moment he fell, he yelled and sounded the alarm with all his might.

　Tonight, home is the whole world, let the warmest home accompany the most reunion night!
