Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1076, sky-high bounty

The city of Baghdad in the Middle East, along with the recent turbulent situation, Baghdad also changed hands several times. At first it belonged to the Timurid Empire, and then the Timurid Empire was collapsed by the Ming Empire.

Baghdad fell into the hands of the Ottoman Empire again, but soon, the Ottoman Empire was greatly damaged because of provoking the Ming people, and the Persian Empire, which saw the opportunity, seized Baghdad again.

But soon, with the peace talks between the Ottoman Empire and the Ming Empire, the Ottoman Empire quickly regained this important city in the Middle East.

In a very short period of time, this ancient city has changed hands several times. The whole city is devastated, and there are ruins everywhere.

In a somewhat dilapidated city, the people here seem much calmer.

For the people who live here, they seem to be used to all this.

The fertile Mesopotamia has attracted too many strong men since ancient times, wars are too common, every inch of land here is bleeding with blood.

Everyone is used to it.

After the war, they grew out quickly and tenaciously like weeds that had been burned by the fire, quickly tidied up their homes, and continued to live.

People are busy on the streets of the ruined walls, either cleaning up the ruins, or selling some things in their hands.

Grain, dates, weapons, horses, camels, cloth, etc. are the most common goods here. Of course, some merchants sell goods from all over the world here, which gradually restores a little The prosperity of the past.

The location here is quite good. It is located in the fertile Mesopotamia, with rich products. In addition, it is connected to Central Asia and West Asia in the north, the Persian Gulf in the east, and directly leads to the Indian Ocean. It can reach Tianzhu and the South Ocean of Daming.

To the south is the Arabian Peninsula, where there are many tribes, and to the west, you can reach the Mediterranean Sea to go to Europe, and you can also go to Africa.

It can be said that the location here is quite good, and since ancient times, businessmen in the Middle East like to travel around and earn wealth, so even though it has only been through the war for a short time, Baghdad is slowly becoming prosperous here.

"Driving~"

"Driving~"

Accompanied by the sound of horseshoes, a caravan from Ming Dynasty slowly entered the city of Baghdad, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

People from Daming have only slowly come to the Middle East in recent years.

And along with the people of Ming Dynasty came the exquisite goods of Ming Dynasty, such as porcelain, silk, cloth, sugar, spices, tea and so on. The trade among them quickly made a fortune.

The goods of the Ming people are very popular, whether it is traditional porcelain, silk, spices, tea, etc., or new sugar, cloth, glass products, etc., they are very popular in the Middle East, the Ottoman Empire, the Persian Empire, etc. welcome.

Not to mention on the European side, the price is expensive, and you can make a lot of money with just one hand, so whenever a Ming businessman arrives in Baghdad, it will immediately attract a large number of businessmen.

After all, in this era, there are still a few who have the ability to organize ships to go to Tianzhu. The main way of doing business for most Middle Eastern businessmen is to rely on camels to travel around.

"Ming people~"

"Da Ming Merchant~"

As the convoy of Daming merchants entered Baghdad, the merchants in Baghdad soon became ecstatic. Before the convoy stopped, there were already a large number of merchants following them, preparing gold, silver and goods in their hands, and preparing to buy them from the Ming Dynasty. something in hand.

Soon the convoy stopped in an open area, and Xu Rong, an Hui merchant from the Jiangnan area, stepped out of the carriage and looked at the bustling crowd in front of him.

"Post the notice first~"

Xu Rong said to the guys around him.

"Yes~"

When the man heard this, he immediately took out a large stack of printed sheets from the carriage, and dozens of men quickly began to post them around.

"What are these Daming people posting?"

When the people around saw it, they immediately became curious, and hurried to look around the posted notices one by one.

"The Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire jointly offer a reward order!"

"I offer a reward to Aziz~ Nasser, a Samara, nobleman, thirty-two years old, for killing five Ming people, and offer a reward of [-] taels of silver, as long as he can kill this person and bring his head to the Ottoman Empire government Or where the merchants of the Ming Dynasty are located, you can get [-] taels of silver!"

The reward order was written in four languages: Arabic, Persian, Turkic, and Daming. At the same time, there was a clear portrait, which also explained in detail the identity, age, gender, origin, etc. of the rewarded person.

"Sigh~"

"Twenty thousand taels of silver are twenty thousand Ming silver coins!"

Looking around, I couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The reward amount of [-] taels of silver was such a huge sum that everyone around couldn't help their eyes turning red.

Such a huge sum is enough to make people rich overnight. You must know that even in Daming, the annual income of an ordinary person is only a few dozen taels of silver, [-] taels of silver. It takes hundreds of years to earn.

For the more barren and backward Middle East, [-] silver dollars is definitely an astronomical figure. Even for the many businessmen in Baghdad who travel all over the world, this is an incomparably huge wealth.

"Lord~"

"Twenty thousand Ming silver dollars~"

"The reward is still offered in the name of the Ottoman Empire and the Ming Empire, and it is absolutely guaranteed to be true and effective."

"Aziz~ Nasser, I know, this great nobleman, the Nasser family in Samara is a very famous nobleman around us."

"I didn't expect him to be offered a reward~"

"Didn't the above say that he killed five Ming people, so he was offered a reward."

"This Daming man is not easy to mess with. Just because five people died, he directly offered a reward of [-] silver dollars to arrest one person. The key is to allow the Ottoman Empire to jointly offer rewards and arrests."

"That's right, because the Ottoman Empire invaded the Hezhong area of ​​the Ming Empire, the result was that the Ming Empire directly sent troops to attack the Ottoman Empire, hundreds of cities were slaughtered, and millions of people were trafficked to Daming as slaves. "

The people around were watching and discussing constantly.

Reward orders were posted one after another, and each person who was offered a reward was clearly written on it.

There are nobles of the Ottoman Empire, who basically killed and maimed the Ming people in their hands, so they were offered rewards; there are also businessmen from the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire, who were offered rewards for selling Ming people; there were also Ottoman cavalry, Officers, etc., because they ordered the killing and massacre of Daming people in the Hezhong area, and were rewarded for escaping back by chance.

In short, what these people have in common is that they offended the Ming people. The lowest bounty was at least [-] taels of silver, and the highest bounty of an Ottoman Empire officer, Enwell, was as high as [-] taels of silver.

This Enver was one of the few high-ranking generals who fled back to the Ottoman Empire from the river region. He directly commanded the massacre of a town in the river region. Because of his foresight, he escaped the arrest of the Ottoman government. Now he is also on the reward and wanted list together. .

"As long as you find one, you will get rich~"

"Isn't that right? Didn't the above say that as long as you provide valuable information, you can get a certain reward, and you don't have to kill these wanted criminals."

"There is a person on here who looks a little familiar, as if I have seen him somewhere."

"real or fake?"

"I don't remember either~"

Everyone carefully looked at the reward orders one by one, their eyes were red, and they quickly compared each other with the people they met in their minds. It was originally very lively, and the people gathered around the caravan also quickly gathered one by one. Near the reward list.

"If you dare to kill us Daming people, even if you escape to the remotest corners of the earth, you will never be able to live a peaceful life!"

Xu Rong looked at the people gathered near the reward orders, and listened to their discussions, and couldn't help but smile.

In fact, not only his caravan was entrusted by the Ming court to bring these reward lists to various places, but all Ming merchants who did business in the Middle East, Persia, Europe, Africa, and the Ottoman Empire received such entrustments.

The Ming court asked them to bring these reward orders to all the places where they do business, and set rewards for these people on a large scale, and the rewards were set very high. Anyway, it was the Ottoman Empire who finally paid the bill. Of course, even if the Ottoman Empire did not pay the bill, Ming Dynasty This side also prepared a huge sum of money to pay the bounty.

There is only one purpose, and that is to let people all over the world know the fate of offending Daming. To kill a Daming, one must be prepared for the whole family to be retaliated by Daming, and to be prepared to be rewarded by the whole world.

With the expansion of Ming Dynasty and more and more foreign trade, merchants of Ming Dynasty are also walking in every corner of the world, whether it is the Tianzhu Continent, the Middle East, or the Ottoman Empire, the Persian Empire, and European countries, there are merchants of the Ming Dynasty. figure.

Their safety is of course very important. It is not enough just to have a powerful Ming Empire behind them, but also to let everyone know how ruthless the Ming people are, and let everyone know the fate of offending Daming.

So following this opportunity, Daming also offered a sky-high reward, the purpose is to tell the world what will happen to offending the people of Daming.

For a businessman like Xu Rong who travels all over the place, this is naturally what he wants to see the most. Since ancient times, doing business has not been easy, especially when you have to face thieves, bandits and so on.

And with such a sky-high reward, Xu Rong believed that it would be safer to travel around the world in the future, because before touching the people of Ming Dynasty, he had to weigh and weigh how much money his head was worth.
