Black Prince's Mansion, above the lobby.

"You guys are lucky! There is an earl in each family. This is an earl in the Ming Dynasty, so it is valuable! After being granted the title of earl, you can immediately divide houses and farms in the Ming Dynasty. The houses are all good houses in Beijing. The earl's

The land grant can be worth hundreds of thousands of silver dollars. If you don't live in it yourself, you can rent it out for a rent of thirty to twenty thousand a year. Farms are usually near Beijing. The count's village can be worth hundreds of dollars.

Mu. Moreover, the relatives and servants of Ming Dynasty who follow you can also share the fields with you. No points or queues are required, and they can be divided immediately. Of course, there is an upper limit on the number of followers, no more than fifty people. Earl

There is also an annual salary, three thousand silver dollars a year! In addition, the earl and the earl's adult sons can also be arranged to serve in the Imperial Guard and the Banner Guard, which is another income."

The one who was speaking was Zhuge Weien. Even though he failed in the military division test, he spoke Arabic very fluently. And the people listening 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. Going out to sea to fish and becoming a pirate are almost the only ways to survive. And even these two ways to survive are not easy to get through.

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

Therefore, desert pirate chiefs like them only have a small number of small boats, and it would be embarrassing to sail them out to rob.

Secondly, there are always some nosy countries that want to protect Indians who go to the holy city to worship. When the Mughal Dynasty was strong, they built large sailing battleships! Later, the Mughal Dynasty declined, and the British Empire came to look for desert pirates.

Their troubles. In the past twenty or thirty years, the British East India Company still sent out ironclad ships to bully the desert pirates in the Persian Gulf, and still allowed the pirates to live?

Therefore, the ancestral profession of desert pirates becomes less secure and less promising the longer you work. Several chiefs feel that if they continue to practice this profession from generation to generation, their descendants will starve to death sooner or later! Therefore, these few chiefs

I pray to the True God every year, but I never expected that the True God, who has always been ineffective in the past, is still very reliable at critical moments!

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

Some of these chiefs are more loyal and do not just care about themselves and their people.

Zhuge Weien smiled and said: "Of course the others also have arrangements! The Ming Dynasty will provide two million silver dollars to help them move."

"Moving? Where to move?"

"Then I have to ask His Highness the Sultan." As he said that, Zhuge Weien looked at Sultan Sultan of Oman 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: "One hundred and eighth brother, Sultan Sultan wants to know what benefits the Ming Dynasty can give him?"

The black eunuch Hei Zhongxian next to him added: "Brother Daozi, His Highness the Sultan is the hero of Oman! People here in Arabia call him Said the Navigator. After he came to the throne, he dealt with the Ming Dynasty and the Great Britain, and also established an

A naval fleet including one sail battleship and five sail cruisers also consolidated the Zambagel colony in Africa founded by his father. If the ironclads had not developed too fast in recent years, the navy of the Sultanate of Oman would have been in the Arabian Peninsula.

It can be considered a hegemon along with the east coast of Africa!”

Zhuge Weidao nodded, smiled and said to the Sultan of Oman: "Your Highness the Sultan, our country wants to know your true thoughts. Do you want to march into Baghdad and rebuild the Arab Empire, or do you want to continue to expand your territory in East Africa? If you want to continue to expand

As a force in East Africa, our country can provide you with a batch of second-hand armored cruisers, and can also provide professional training for your navy. If you want to march into Baghdad, I have brought 10,000 marines and army infantry this time, and they can help

You achieved what you wanted."

The Sultan of Oman could understand and speak Chinese. He immediately said seriously: "General, I heard that you are planning to support Ali Pasha of Egypt as the Sultan of the Arab Empire. My Sultanate of Oman is incomparable in any way.

In Upper Egypt, we do not have enough population to support a strong army. So our future in Oman can only be on the east coast of Africa!

Rather than truly consolidating our Omani territory in Africa, a few armored cruisers alone are not enough, we also need a smaller but well-equipped and well-trained army."

The Sultan of Oman still knows how much he has. The mainland of Oman is very poor. Of course, there is no shortage of oil and natural gas, there are also some metal mineral deposits, and there are also conditions for the development of the fishing industry. It is better than the "Overseas Seven" next door.

"Poor" is much better. But Oman's agriculture is still not worth mentioning. There is no way to compare with the rich Egypt and Syria. Therefore, the Sultanate of Oman cannot support too many people. Currently, there are only more than 30 people.

Ten thousand people.

Therefore, the strength of the Sultan of Oman is not at the same level as Ali Pasha. If he wants to compete with Ali Pasha for the power of the Arab world, it will be difficult for him to win.

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

allies!"

It is not easy to become an ally of Ming Dynasty! Even Japan and Rakshasa do not have such treatment now. But Oman must have it, because Ming Dynasty’s Persian Gulf Fleet is now stationed on their territory!

The fleet led by Zhuge Weidao entered the Gulf of Oman and received news of the warm hospitality of the Sultanate of Oman, which was quickly reported to London by the British minister in Muscat.

At the cabinet meeting held at No. 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister, the Duke of Wellington, looked quite happy when he talked about this matter.

Obviously, this matter is beneficial to Daying!

The Duke of Wellington said: "Gentlemen, the Ming Dynasty naval fleet that failed off the coast of Goa has taken control of Muscat. The next step should be to occupy the Persian Gulf, and may even support the Sultan of Oman to march towards Baghdad!

And this is undoubtedly a turning point in the ongoing 'Rakshasa-Turkish War'!

It marked that the Ming Empire had substantially intervened in this war!

If the Ottoman Turkish Empire does not want to perish, then they will have to abandon Greece and negotiate peace with us and other European powers such as Rakshasa, Austria, Prussia, France, and the Kingdom of Sardinia! This is a major opportunity for our British Empire!

"

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

But because George Canning, who had already made Zhuge Weijiu "angry" to death, brought the British Empire into the ditch of supporting Greek independence, the British Empire had to hold its nose and stand with the Rakshasa Kingdom. Just standing.

, and privately provided no less support to Turkey. But no matter what, with Britain and Turkey in a state of war, the British Empire could not openly oppose the Tsar's request for Constantinople.

The Ottoman Empire could not give up Greece before. It was the territory of the Ottoman Empire! How dare Mahmoud II give up so casually?

However, after the Ming Dynasty "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 danger. Sultan Mahmoud had already given up on Greece and turned to Britain, France, Austria, and Prussia.

An excuse to join forces.

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