Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1501, Revenge of the Koreans

In the governor's mansion of the Arak colonial stronghold, Korbanda was writing a letter, explaining in detail the experience in West Africa and the current difficulties to the Persian Emperor Ismail I.

"...Originally, I wanted to form an alliance with North Korea to get the help of the North Korean navy. However, the North Korean navy was attacked by Spain and suffered heavy losses. There are not many warships left."

"The African continent is a plague continent, and there are many kinds of diseases. My Persian army only entered the inland area a little, and all kinds of diseases spread rapidly."

"Yellow fever, malaria, cholera, and typhoid fever emerge one after another, spread extremely quickly, and have a high fatality rate. In a short period of time, the warriors of our Persian Empire did not die on the battlefield, but were killed by this invisible plague. .”

"Thanks to the help of the Four Seas Trading Company, the doctors from the Ming Empire controlled the epidemic in time, and the soldiers also improved rapidly under the medical treatment from the Ming Dynasty."

"However, Daming is a country of tigers and wolves, and has a huge appetite. Although he helps us control the epidemic and treat soldiers, the price is extremely high. Just buying various medicines and items costs one million taels of silver."

"In order to revive my great Persian Empire, and for the grand cause of my Persian Empire in West Africa, I have no choice but to agree to sign an IOU with the Universal Commercial Bank. Please learn from your great majesty!"

"I observed Doctor Daming carefully. The method they used was actually very simple and not difficult. They divided the soldiers into separate groups and isolated them. At the same time, they used lime to disinfect the whole city. A large number of them were used to kill mosquitoes. Everyone was required to drink more boiled water instead of drinking it directly. unboiled water."

"According to our conversation with the military doctor and Dr. Daming, we learned that mosquitoes are the main source of disease transmission. Controlling mosquitoes can control the disease well. At the same time, raw water is also easily affected. After boiling, it will be cleaner and hygienic. .”

"In West Africa, diseases are rampant. If we in Persia want to make a difference in West Africa, we must find a way to overcome various diseases here."

"I think that the Persian Empire needs to send a large number of doctors to the Ming Empire to learn the medical skills of the Ming Empire, and to constantly summarize and research the means of treatment, control, and prevention of diseases."

"In this way, our Persian colony in West Africa will no longer be limited to coastal strongholds, but can go deep into the African continent to obtain greater benefits."

"Currently, neither the Spaniards in Europe, nor the Koreans, Japanese, or Ming people in the east dare to go deep into the African continent, and can only colonize the coastal areas."

"They have almost finished dividing up the coastal areas. In the future, it is very likely that the competition for African colonies will gradually shift from the coastal and river areas to the inland areas of Africa."

"Whoever can overcome the disease here during the time period will have the initiative and can gain more benefits and colonies. Compared with the colonies in the coastal areas, the vast African continent is the real fat. The benefits are insignificant compared with the vast African continent."

"My Persian army has captured three colonial strongholds from the Spaniards. The Spaniards will definitely not give up so easily. Now that the Korean navy has been severely damaged, my Persian army will become very difficult to move in West Africa. It is extremely difficult."

"The minister is going to base himself on the existing colonial stronghold, renew it independently, open up fields in West Africa, raise cattle, sheep and horses, and strive to be self-sufficient."

"On the other hand, we still need His Majesty's support. Without a strong navy, we in Persia will never be able to fight against Spain. In West Africa, we will always be in a passive position. We must rely on others, but we often need to pay a huge price."

"The construction of our Persian navy is urgent, but what is more important is to have our own shipbuilding capabilities in order to have sustainable sea power."

"Otherwise, it will be like North Korea. Once it is hit hard, there is no way to recover in a short time. However, North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Empire. They can buy warships from the Ming Empire, but it will take time to reach West Africa. Here."

"... Salute to your great majesty!"

Korbanda slowly put down the pen in his hand, read it again and again in detail, and sent someone back to Persia at random.

Then I got up and looked out the window. With the arrival of Doctor Daming, the epidemic was brought under control, a large number of soldiers were cured, and the entire Arak colonial stronghold regained vitality and smiles.

The settled and relaxed Persian soldiers were busy talking and laughing, and the construction of the colonial stronghold was restarted. This colonial stronghold, which was first built by the Portuguese, passed through the hands of the Spaniards and finally fell into the hands of the Persians.

The churches and crosses in the stronghold will naturally be demolished and replaced with temples for Persians to pray. In addition, under Shen Yao's suggestion, they also started to build sewage ditches and unified huts, which will easily breed mosquitoes. The place is buried and so on.

"General, Mr. Liu Sunjung from North Korea is here to visit~"

Just as Korbanda smiled, a soldier came to report.

"North Korea's Liu Sunting?"

When Korbanda heard this, he immediately regained his energy.

"Please~"

Immediately, Korbanda also walked towards the living room.

In the reception room of the Governor's Mansion, Liu Shunting was drinking tea and waiting while thinking about the current situation of North Korea in West Africa.

The situation of the Koreans is naturally much better than that of the Persians. At least there are still some large ships and warships available, so there is no need to ask for help everywhere.

Moreover, the relationship between North Korea and Ming Dynasty is very good. In West Africa, they have good relations with many colonial firms and vassal states. As long as they ask, there will naturally be a large number of people willing to help.

However, in the Battle of Yanshan Port, the Korean Navy suffered heavy losses, and the remaining warships were barely enough to maintain the current situation, and even the colony on the Benin Bay was in jeopardy.

The Spaniards will not let go of this opportunity, and they will definitely find a way to regain their colonies.

Of course, this is not the key point. The key point is that the face of North Korea is lost all at once.

They have always claimed to be the second most powerful country in the world. Apart from the Ming Empire, North Korea is the number one.

However, the reality is that he was slapped in the face by the Spaniards, slapped, and slapped, so that now everyone in West Africa is talking about this matter, laughing at the North Koreans, and of course they are quietly waiting for the follow-up.

See what the North Koreans and Spaniards do next.

For the sake of North Korea's face and the dignity of the second most powerful country in the world, the North Koreans must show something, otherwise it will not only affect the national self-confidence of North Korea itself, but also affect North Korea's status in the world.

The number two in the world is sealed by oneself, but it still needs to be recognized by someone.

Sometimes reputation is such a thing, it can cause trouble, but it can also bring many benefits.

The shadow of a famous tree, a stick of incense for a Buddha, Liu Shunting and Li Yi thought that this matter should not be left as it is after a serious discussion. The war between North Korea and Spain has officially started. If so, then It is necessary to fight back against Spain severely.

After thinking about it, he thought of his ally, the Persian Empire, so Liu Shunting came to him.

"Lord Liu~"

When Korbanda saw Liu Shunting, he hurriedly came forward to say hello with a smile.

"Your Excellency, I heard that you are suffering from the epidemic, so I brought some medicines and doctors here, hoping to help you."

As soon as Liu Shunting came, he expressed his concern and provided some necessary help.

"I am really grateful to Mr. Liu, and thank you for the friendship of North Korea. We Persians will definitely remember it in our hearts."

Although he couldn't help but want to complain about the other party in his heart, he didn't reach out to hit the smiling person, not to mention that the Koreans are having a hard time these days, so Korbanda didn't care too much about it.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they began to talk about business.

"Our two countries are now in a desperate situation in West Africa. The Spaniards shamelessly attacked our North Korean navy, causing us heavy losses."

"Presumably next, the Spaniards will launch a powerful offensive against us and snatch our colonies."

"We have to find a way to deal with it earlier."

Talking about the current situation, Liu Shunting said very worriedly.

"Master Liu's words are true. The Spaniards have always been ambitious and will take revenge. We have seized their colony, and now they have the initiative. They will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity."

"Does Master Liu have any good suggestions?"

Korbanda nodded in deep agreement. On the West African side, North Korea and Persia are really connected now. Not only are the colonies connected, but they also have to face a common powerful enemy.

"Treat the body in the same way!"

"Find an opportunity to hit the Spaniards hard and buy time for us in the country. At that time, as long as the follow-up forces from your two countries support us, we can unite together and completely sweep the Spaniards out of the Gold Coast."

Liu Shunting looked at Korbanda and said fiercely.

"Sneak attack on the Spaniards?"

When Korbanda heard this, he immediately became thoughtful, and said slowly for a long time, "I wonder if you have chosen your target?"

"Here, Sao Tome Island!"

Liu Shunting got up and came to the map hanging next to him, pointed his finger on Sao Tome Island and said: "I have made a clear investigation, Sao Tome Island is the seat of the governor's office of the Spanish colony in West Africa, that Coles The Duke is here."

"In addition, here on Sao Tome Island, they also stationed the Spanish West African Fleet, with dozens of warships and tens of thousands of troops stationed here."

"Using this as the core of ruling the vast colonies of West Africa, if any colony has something to do, it can quickly go to support it, and at the same time use it as a base to eliminate raging pirates."

"As long as our sneak attack succeeds, we can hit the Spaniards hard!"
