Chapter 133: Zhu Yunjiang’s Revenge!!
At night, Jinling Imperial Palace, inside the Wenhua Hall.
Zhu Yunjiang was sleeping soundly.
At this time, no one noticed that the corners of his eyes were emitting a faint red light
At the same time, it was just outside Jinling City.
Li Li, the hall master of the Caogang Xinjiang Hall, came to a small hillside north of Jinling City at this time, two or three miles away.
He faced Jinling City, sitting cross-legged, his eyes looking at his nose, nose and heart, and breathing long.
Suddenly, black gases visible to the naked eye surrounded the tip of his nose, like a dragon flying phoenix dance, which was magnificent.
With the rhythm of his breathing, the black qi crossed the Jinling City Wall.
Then he crossed the Forbidden City and invaded the Wenhua Hall, communicating Zhu Yunjiang’s breathing.
At this time, Zhu Yunjiang’s breathing became heavier.
In the dark night, Zhu Yunjiang opened his eyes.
At the same time, Li Li also saw the situation of the Wenhua Hall in front of him through Zhu Yunjiang’s eyes.
However, this situation lasted only a few seconds.
Immediately, Zhu Yunjiang closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
In the distance, Li Li stood up.
He gasped and said to himself, “I see that your mother, your grandfather’s hatred, has remained in your demon eyes. ”
“Zhu Yunjiang, despite the monstrous imperial power, he cannot cut off the deep hatred planted by the Demon Eye.”
“The seeds of hatred are buried in your heart.”
“It will inevitably take root.”
“Devour the luck of his Zhu family.”
“At the right time, destroy him again and seize the world, in order to avenge the blood and the sea.”
“Hahahaha…”
“Let’s work together!”
……
In the past few days, Zhu Xiongying has not had a very smooth life.
Although he had already obtained the lucky purple qi, he found that:
Recently, Jinling’s luck seems to be low, and everyone’s luck seems to have declined somewhat
In the case that everyone’s own luck is not enough, it is difficult for Zhu Xiongying to absorb the luck of others.
Therefore, after more than half a month, he absorbed thirty or forty points of qi luck piecemeal.
His luck still hasn’t reached the hundred, and he doesn’t get any new raffle cards.
While waiting, it is still necessary to accumulate strength.
Therefore, he didn’t think much about it either.
His daily focus is on scientific research, military training and industrial production.
Whether it is Nanyang or Dongying, it is now necessary to replenish the troops.
In addition, he has already begun to form a fleet for the Lower West.
Unlike the historical Zheng He who went to the West, Zhu Xiongying paid more attention to the economic interests of Chiguoguo.
He hoped to gain complete control over the trade routes of Eurasia.
Then, Daming’s high-quality industrial products were continuously transported to Europa to plunder the world’s wealth.
By this time, due to the collapse of the Mongol Yuan Empire, the overland trade routes of the two largest economies in Eurasia had been interrupted.
To restore the passage on the road, it is necessary to suppress the forces of the Gray North Park, the Timurid Empire and so on.
For a while, it was difficult to get through quickly.
Therefore, he focused on the sea.
His first step was to seize the Strait of Malacca and choke the throat between the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
The second step is to open up trade routes from the Indian Ocean to Europe.
At this time, there are two main trade routes from Europe to the Indian Ocean: the first is:
Merchant ships crossed the Mediterranean Sea and landed at the mouth of the Nile.
They then rely on camel caravans to transport the goods to the Red Sea.
Finally, it was loaded on board and sailed to the Indian Ocean.
This passage was controlled by Venetian and Egyptian merchants.
The second article is:
Through the Nile waterway, small boats can drive directly from the Mediterranean through the Nile into the Red Sea.
However, due to the narrow and shallow Nile channel, even small boats, in some sections, need to be dragged by manpower to complete the distance, which is extremely costly.
Therefore, this second channel, in fact, has long since disappeared…
Now, Zhu Xiongying has two ways to break the monopoly of these two channels that currently exist:
The first method, of course, was to take advantage of the excellent performance of the sail battleships and Galen ships to bypass the Cape of Good Hope and transport the goods directly to Portugal.
Because the cost of sea freight is low.
Therefore, this method was enough to bankrupt the Venetian and Egyptian merchants who controlled the old passage.
Another way was to destroy the Mamluk sultanate, which controlled the Egyptian region, and dig the Suez Canal.
This method is more ruthless.
However, digging the Suez Canal is not an easy task.
With 1858 techniques, it took 11 years to excavate it, killing 120,000 people.
Therefore, it is possible to destroy the Mamluk Sultanate, but it is not so easy to have canals to use.
It is also necessary to go hand in hand.
For the time being, trade is mainly based on taking the Cape of Good Hope.
At the same time, the Mamluk Sultanate could have destroyed it first.
Canals, which can be dug slowly.
At this time, Zhu Xiongying dropped the moonlight on the Mamluk sultanate on the map.
The country was founded in 1250 AD (3948 in the Yellow Emperor calendar) and has been around for 124 years.
By this time, the Bahri dynasty, which controlled the Mamluk Sultanate, had declined.
The uprising that broke out in Syria forced Sultan Haji II to lose power.
The powerful Barkuk was in power, and in the original history, in three years, he would announce his accession to the throne, end the Bahri dynasty and establish a new Burj dynasty.
“Take advantage of your chaos, it will kill you!!”
This is Zhu Xiongying’s principle.
This once-in-a-lifetime moment for the Mamluk Sultanate to descend into civil strife.
If he does not take the opportunity to take the Mamluk Sultanate and prepare for the excavation of the Suez Canal and the complete control of the Eurasian trade arteries, he will not be Zhu Xiongying!
Zhu Xiongying estimated it.
To destroy the Mamluk Sultanate, at least 3,000 flintlock soldiers would be required and a sufficient amount of divine rockets and other ammunition and materiel would be required.
However, to control most of the Mamluk Sultanate, at least 10,000 to 20,000 flintlock soldiers were stationed there all year round.
Such a large number of people, such a long supply line, at least 5 million taels of silver a year will consume military expenses, not including the cost of large-scale wars.
Therefore, it is necessary to be well prepared if this important task is to be completed…
