Capital Datang

Egypt is the oldest ancient civilization in the world. Before 3000 BC, a unified country had emerged. However, it is a pity that Egypt, an ancient country that existed for more than 2000 years, was first destroyed by Persia. Then they were conquered by Greece and Rome respectively, and with the rise of Christianity, Egypt became the most important Christian country at that time.

It is also the successive rule of Persia, Greece and Rome, which together lasted for thousands of years, and during these thousand years, immigrants from the three countries migrated to Egypt from time to time, which also changed the ethnic structure of Egypt. The Egyptians were originally of the yellow race, but after thousands of years, the Egyptians and the migrating Caucasians married each other, making the domestic race gradually become the Mediterranean type of the Europa race, and the appearance is not much different from the Romans.

In 640 AD, Egypt, which originally belonged to Rome, was once again occupied by cannibals. In this era, Islam still adopted a relatively moderate way of preaching, and did not force the people under its rule to change their beliefs. However, these non-Islamic The common people need to pay an extra tax. If they do not pay, they must convert to Islam, otherwise they will be regarded as rebellion.

Although the above method seems mild, it is actually very overbearing, especially the extra tax, which made many ordinary people overwhelmed, and finally had to change their original beliefs.After all, although belief is important, it cannot be eaten. People are very realistic, and it is impossible for everyone to take their lives because of an illusory belief.

However, ordinary people can change their beliefs, and some people who originally benefited from religion are unwilling to lose their original status and wealth, so they try their best to resist the religious aggression of the cannibal, and many people even launched uprisings, and this This situation is still the most serious in Egypt.Capital Datang 637

After nearly a thousand years of rule by Greece and Rome, Christianity has already penetrated into all aspects of Egypt. In addition, although the Eastern Roman Empire cannot beat Dashi on the battlefield.But at least it still has the power to protect itself, unlike Persia, which was almost destroyed.Therefore, the Eastern Roman Empire began to concentrate forces outside the battlefield to attack Dashi's rule from all aspects.

It was also under such circumstances that some religious aristocrats in Egypt united to provoke large-scale uprisings in Egypt several times in the name of religion. Unfortunately, even the regular army of the Eastern Roman Empire was no match for the Dashi army, let alone They were temporarily organized, and there were only fanatical believers left.

However, for these defeated rebels, Dashi did not kill them at will.Because they discovered very early that Datang and Taiwan were in great need of slaves, and they even went to Africa to capture black slaves.This made the Dashi merchants who have always been known for their shrewdness see a way to make money. In addition, Islam treats businessmen very favorably, which makes many merchants have considerable influence on the Dashi "government". All prisoners of war will be sold to these merchants.Then these merchants changed hands and sold them to Datang's slave hunting team at a higher price.

It is also the practice of the Dashi merchants that not only saves many slave hunting teams a lot of effort, but also among the prisoners they provide, the white slaves in Egypt and other places naturally have the most.

"Pa~pa~" On a port along the Red Sea, a group of naked Egyptian slaves were being driven to the pier beside them.There were a few overseers with whips in their hands and vicious faces. These overseers whipped the slaves who walked slower from time to time, but the slaves did not dare to make the sound of tasks.Otherwise, more brutal torture will be ushered in.

Beside these slaves and overseers, a big food merchant and a Han merchant were having a heated conversation, apparently they were negotiating prices, and the big food merchant would pull a slave from time to time and hit each other with his fist chest.To prove how strong his slave is, it's a pity that the Han merchant is also very shrewd.Shaking his head from time to time to deny the other party's pricing.

The two had been arguing for a long time, and finally they finally reached an agreement on the price, and then the Han merchants lifted the silver coins and copper coins from their boats. These were all minted by the Qi Palace, but even in the Red Sea area thousands of miles away, there are still shopping malls. The hard currency on the market, no matter which country the businessman is from, welcomes the other party to trade with this currency.

Looking at the transactions on the pier and the slaves who staggered onto the ship driven by the overseer, Li Ke standing at the bow of the ship had a calm expression.This situation has been seen many times since they entered the Red Sea. Even in one transaction, the slaves rioted and killed several overseers, but soon the big food army stationed on the pier He rushed over and slaughtered the rioting slave envoys. The whole process was extremely bloody and cruel.

"I heard from Liulang that Egypt was a powerful ancient country in the past, and its long history was still above the Central Plains. Unfortunately, after thousands of years, not only the country is no longer there, but even the people will be ruled and oppressed by foreign races. Is it a country of prosperity and decline?" Li Ke finally sighed.

"Your Highness is worrying too much. Now that the Tang Dynasty is the root of our Han people, its power is already extremely powerful, and King Qi, King Jiang, and King Yue are the stems and leaves of our Han people, and their careers have begun to sweep the world. Now add Your Highness, presumably in the future. The whole world will be ruled by our Han people, who can shake it?" Hearing Li Ke's sigh, Cen Changqian who was next to him retorted, her face full of complacency.

Li Ke thought about it seriously after hearing this, and finally smiled and said: "It's still Changqian who can see the general situation clearly. The whole world is only that big. My Tang Dynasty occupies the center, and Liulang now annexes Nanyang and Australia. America is also under his jaws, and the seventh and eighth brothers also rose in Tianzhu, threatening West Asia and Africa. There are not many places left in the whole world. As long as I work harder, what else can threaten me in the future The foundation of the Han people?"

However, Cen Changqian smiled wryly after hearing this: "Your Highness, King Qi, King Jiang, and King Yue are expanding too fast, and now the only options left for Your Highness are America and Africa, and America is King Qi's. Your Highness was the first to discover that you couldn't bear to take away His Highness King Qi's love, and Africa is too close to King Jiang and King Yue, so it is inevitable that you will have trouble with Tianzhu in the future, which makes it really hard for Your Highness to choose."

Cui Changqian's words also made Li Ke show a wry smile.He definitely won't want Australia, because Li Yin has put too much effort into Australia, and he doesn't want to take advantage of Li Yin.In addition, America is big, but Li Ke heard Li Yin often talking about it as early as a few years ago, and knew that it was the place Li Yin wanted most, so if he chose America, he would definitely have a feeling in his heart that he would steal his younger brother. The feeling of loving something.

It is precisely because of this that Li Ke put the final balance in Africa, but after arriving in Tianzhu, he suddenly discovered that Africa is too close to Tianzhu. If he establishes a foothold in Africa, although he can get Li Zhenhe With the help of Li Yun, but the area of ​​​​Tianzhu is not large, when Li Zhen and Li Yun annex Tianzhu, they are likely to turn their spearheads to Africa. At that time, their brothers are likely to have friction because of this. do not want to see.

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Liu Lang said that America is vast. With his current strength, he will not be able to completely occupy it in a few hundred years. If this is the case, I will simply occupy a small area in America and develop slowly. It's gone." Li Ke finally sighed again.

Seeing Li Ke's distressed look, Cen Changqian shook his head helplessly, and then changed the topic and said, "I don't know what happened to Brother Wang and their fleet, will those big cannibals let those warships go?"

Li Ke and the others went to the Mediterranean Sea this time, but they divided the fleet into two parts. Among them, Lu Wan's fleet and some ordinary ships in Li Ke's hands were in front. There is no difference between ordinary Han merchant ships, but Li Ke disguised himself as an ordinary merchant and mixed in the fleet.

In addition, Li Ke also borrowed four warships from Li Yin without authorization, as well as some supply ships, etc. It is obviously not easy for these warships to pass through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal.However, Cen Changqian came up with a way, which was to have someone pretend to be Li Yin's envoy to visit East Rome, and then it would be logical to be escorted by four warships.As for the person who pretended to be the envoy, Wang Fangyi finally acted as the envoy, and now the envoy fleet is a hundred miles behind Li Ke and the others.

"Don't worry about this. Dashi is now under the pressure of Datang and Liulang, and he doesn't dare to embarrass the envoy sent by Liulang. Besides, Fang Yi is also a calm person. There will definitely be no problem if he pretends to be the envoy." Li Ke said It is without worry.Capital Datang 637

Cen Changqian naturally knew that Da Shi didn't dare to embarrass the envoy of the Qi Palace, he just wanted to divert Li Ke's attention, and now that his goal had been achieved, so he chatted a few words along the way, so that Li Ke would stop thinking about those troublesome things.

"Your Highness, this is the last section of the Red Sea. Today we will rest overnight in a harbor, and tomorrow we will be able to enter the Suez Canal." While Li Ke was chatting with Cen Changqian, Lu Wan from the captain's room came out and laughed. road.

"Oh, that's great. I've heard that the Suez Canal has an important location, and it was opened thousands of years ago. The amount of work is comparable to the Grand Canal in the Central Plains. This time, I must have a good look at it!" Li Ke listened Then he said very happily.

"In fact, the length of the Suez Canal is only a fraction of the Grand Canal, but because this canal connects the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, it needs to allow huge ships to pass through, so this canal is much wider and deeper than the Grand Canal in the Central Plains. Calculated in this way, the amount of engineering is still inferior to the Grand Canal in the Central Plains!" Lu Wan laughed.

In fact, Lu Wan originally wanted to say that the Grand Canal in the Central Plains led to the demise of the former Sui Dynasty, but the Egyptians built this canal much more peacefully. Canal boasted.

In the evening, Li Ke and his fleet finally arrived at a seaport in the Sinai Peninsula, but when their fleet, which was obviously Han, had just parked at the port, then Li Ke and Lu Wan went ashore, ready to find a When he was resting in the place, he was suddenly surrounded by a group of big cannibals.
