Black Palace, above the lobby.

"You guys are lucky! One family and one earl, this is the earl of the Great Ming Dynasty, so it is very valuable! After becoming an earl, you can immediately divide the house and farm in Daming. The houses are all good houses in Beijing. The earl's Cidi, no matter what, it can be worth hundreds of thousands of silver dollars. If you don’t live here, you can rent it out for 50 to [-] yuan a year. Farms are usually near Beijing. The earl’s village can be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Mu. And the relatives and servants who are attached to Daming with you can also share the fields with them, no points, no need to queue up, and they can be distributed immediately. Of course, there is an upper limit for the number of relatives, no more than [-] people. Earl also There is an annual salary, three thousand silver dollars a year! In addition, the Earl and the Earl’s grown-up sons can also be arranged to serve in the Jinyi Guard and the Great Banner Guard, which is another source of income.”

The one who was speaking was Zhuge Weien. Although he failed the military division exam, he could speak Arabic very fluently.And the ones who listened to him were, of course, the chiefs of the seven desert pirate tribes.

The seven desert pirate chiefs all looked surprised and delighted. They didn't know what their descendants would be like. They only knew that the seaside deserts and wastelands they owned were very barren, and nothing grew. Even drinking water is very precious, and fishing and being a pirate are almost the only ways to survive.And it is the only way to survive, and it is not easy to get through.

First of all, there is no wood for shipbuilding. There are not even a few grasses in the sandy land of their house, and tall trees are even rare species. Even if there are a few, they cannot support the shipbuilding industry!

Therefore, these desert pirate chiefs only have a small number of small boats, and it is shameful to drive them out to rob.

Secondly, there are always some nosy countries who want to protect the Indians who go to worship in the Holy City. When the Mughal Dynasty was strong, they built large sailing battleships!Later, the Mughal dynasty declined, and the British Empire came to trouble the desert pirates.In the past 30 or [-] years, the British East India Company still sent iron-clad ships to bully the desert pirates in the Persian Gulf with no sense of martial arts, and let the pirates live?

Therefore, the ancestral profession of desert pirates is more insecure and has no future. Several chiefs feel that if this profession continues for generations, their descendants will starve to death sooner or later!Therefore, they have been praying to the true god for several years. I really didn't expect that the true god, which has not been very effective in the past, is still very reliable at critical moments!

"Can we only take 50 people to Daming? What about the others?"

Some of these chiefs are more loyal, and they don't just care about themselves and ignore the people.

Zhuge Weien smiled and said: "Of course other people have arrangements too! The Ming Dynasty will give 200 million silver dollars to help them move."

"Moving? Where are you moving?"

"Then I have to ask His Highness the Sultan." Zhuge Weien looked at Oman Sultan Sultan with a smile.

"Ask me?" Sultan Sultan had actually been waiting for this question for a long time, and immediately frowned, "The land in Oman is also very barren."

Zhuge Weien smiled, and said to Zhuge Weidao: "Brother [-], Sultan Sultan wants to know what benefits Daming can give him?"

The black eunuch Hei Zhongxian added: "Brother Daozi, His Highness the Sultan is the Lord of Oman! People here in Arabia call him Said the Navigator. A naval fleet including one sail battleship and five sail cruisers also consolidated the African Sambazil colony laid down by his father. If it hadn't been for the rapid development of iron-clad ships in these years, the navy of the Sultanate of Oman would be in the Arabian Peninsula And the east coast of Africa can be regarded as a tyrant!"

Zhuge Weidao nodded, smiled and said to the Sultan of Oman: "Your Highness, our country wants to know your true thoughts. Do you want to enter Baghdad, rebuild the Arab Empire, or continue to expand in East Africa? If you want to continue to expand As a power in East Africa, our country can provide you with a batch of second-hand armored cruisers, and also provide professional training for your navy. If you want to march into Baghdad, I brought [-] marines and army infantry this time, they can help You got what you wanted."

The Sultan of Oman can understand and speak Chinese, so he immediately said sternly: "General, I heard that you plan to support Ali Pasha of Egypt as the Sultan of the Arab Empire. My Sultanate of Oman is no match in any way In Upper Egypt, we don't have enough population to support a strong army. So our future in Oman can only be on the east coast of Africa!
Don't really consolidate our Omani territory in Africa. It is not enough to rely on a few armored cruisers. We also need a smaller army with excellent equipment and training. "

The Sultan of Oman still knows how much he weighs. Oman's land is very barren. Of course, there is no shortage of oil and natural gas. There are also some metal deposits, and there are conditions for the development of the fishing industry. Compared with the "overseas seven Poor" is much stronger.But Oman's agriculture is still not worth mentioning, and there is no way to compare with the rich Egypt and Syria.Therefore, the mainland of the Sultanate of Oman cannot support too many people, and currently only has a population of more than 30.

Therefore, the strength of the Sultan of Oman is not in the same order of magnitude as that of Ali Pasha. If he wants to compete with Ali Pasha for the domination of the Arab world, it will be difficult to win.

"Okay!" Zhuge Weidao nodded, "Sultan, I promise that our Ming Empire will support your Sultanate to become the hegemony of East Africa! And we will also sign a binding diplomatic treaty with you. The Sultanate of Oman will become the Ming Empire ally!"

It's not easy to be an ally of Ming!Now even Japan and Rakshasa don’t have such treatment.But Oman must have it, because Daming's Persian Gulf Fleet is now stationed on their territory!

The news that the fleet led by Zhuge Weidao entered the Gulf of Oman and received hospitality from the Sultanate of Oman was soon reported to London by the British envoy in Muscat.

At the cabinet meeting held at No. 10 Downing Street, when the Prime Minister, the Duke of Wellington, talked about this, his expression was quite happy.

Obviously, this matter is beneficial to Daying!

The Duke of Wellington said: "Gentlemen, the Ming naval fleet that failed off the coast of Goa has already taken control of Muscat. Next, they should occupy the Persian Gulf, and may even help the Sultan of Oman to march into Baghdad!
And this is undoubtedly a turning point for the ongoing 'Rakshasa-Turkish War'!

It marks that the Ming Empire has substantially intervened in this war!
If the Ottoman Turkish Empire does not want to perish, then they will have to give up Greece and make peace with us and the European powers such as Rakshasa, Austria, Prussia, France, and the Kingdom of Sardinia!This is a great opportunity for our British Empire! "

The goal of the British Empire, of course, is to use the ongoing Rakshasa-Turkish War to isolate Rakshasa and bind Rakshasa and Ming Dynasty to form an alliance against Rakshasa and the Ming Empire.

But because George Canning, who had been "pissed off" by Zhuge for a long time, brought the British Empire into the ditch of supporting Greek independence, the British Empire had to hold its nose and stand with Rakshasa. Just stand , and in private has not given less support to Turkey.But in any case, with Britain and Turkey in a state of war, the British Empire could not openly oppose the Tsar's demands for Constantinople.

And the Ottoman Empire couldn't give up Greece before, that was the territory of the Ottoman Empire!How dare Mahmud II give up casually?
However, after Ming "defeated the Persian Gulf", the situation in the Middle East changed. The Ottoman Empire was attacked on both sides, and the holy city of Tianfang Sect was in jeopardy. An excuse to team up.

After all, the Turkish Empire has no permanent enemies, only permanent interests!
