Journey of the Infinite Wizard

What happened this time was also recorded very clearly by Lu Duan in the book You Tang Yaolue compiled by him. Watching the Tang people capture this land called Egypt, Lu Duan did not leave, but got off the ark and took a few entourages to stay in the Tang army to observe and write records. Naturally, the Tang people did not object to this, and allowed Lu Duan to stay in the army, but warned him not to leave the barracks to avoid accidents. As for the Tang people, although they only had an army of 10,000 people, they were not at all worried about the possible actions and preparations of the Fatimid dynasty. In addition to the routine guarding and patrolling, the people of Tang Dynasty are constantly preparing and busy constructing the place of the port and the wharf as well as a set of materials. At the same time, another 2,000 troops were divided to capture the coastal line of the Sinai Peninsula.

The purpose, of course, is to better and more conveniently control the Suez Canal when the Suez Canal is dug in the future. At the same time, with the help of the wizard on board, a small naval fleet crossed the land blocking the Red Sea and entered the Red Sea. They went down the Red Sea and captured a series of islands at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula. Then this small fleet sailed again, captured all the series of islands in the Red Sea, and captured the future Djibouti at the mouth of the Red Sea. And control part of Yemen's land in the Red Sea, and also seized the isolated island of Socotra in the eastern Horn of Africa.

When flags symbolizing the Tang people were raised from the above-mentioned places, it also announced that these places would become the territory of the Tang people from now on. At the same time, the mission of the Fatimid Dynasty came to the land of the Tang people and met the Tang people. In the resplendent Peony Palace, the envoys of the Fatimid Dynasty were unable to utter a decent word of cruelty at all. After being frightened by the Tang rulers and ministers, they obediently signed the treaty and 'sold' the above-mentioned areas to the Tang Dynasty for a price. One hundred gold coins.

After Lu Duan knew about it, he had great compassion and sympathy for this country called Fatima in his heart. The vast land was sold at such a low price. And they have such a large army and population, and they dare not fight against a mere 10,000 enemies and a small number of ships. Lu Duan has long stopped paying attention to the future of this country, because this is already a doomed result. It is unreasonable for such a spineless country to continue to exist in the world, and its demise is already doomed.

In fact, after the signing of the treaty, this matter aroused unprecedented heated discussions in the vast Mediterranean area. All countries are discussing enthusiastically, the purpose of the Tang people brazenly instigating a 'war', although the scale of this 'war' is so small, and the end time is so short. However, the triggering and speculation of this matter is something that various countries are competing to discuss. Because, in their view, it is so unwise for the Tang people not to capture more fertile land, but to capture some worthless land and islands. Because some of those lands are worthless at all, either with few people or no people, or extremely poor and backward.

Just when they were thinking about it and couldn't figure it out, the people of Tang signed a treaty with the Fatimid Dynasty again. Tima Dynasty Recruitment. 【】Such explosive news shocked the vast Europa, and as time passed, this explosive news began to spread to more distant Northern Europe and Central Asia. People with foresight naturally know that once the canal is successfully dug, the Tang people who control the canal,

Will master the trade routes of untold riches. In addition to countries as far away as Central Asia, which may be able to go to China for trade through the Silk Road on the road, now, there will be another country that will sail directly to China from the sea, buy silk, tea and porcelain directly from China, and then sell them to Europe , Africa and the Middle East.

All the countries are jealous. Once such a profitable canal is successful, they will sit back and watch the Chinese people sleep on gold every day. At that time, all the people of the Tang Dynasty may enjoy clothes made of silk and porcelain from China. Although, today's porcelain prices are somewhat lower than silk, because Tang people also came from China. Over the years, they have managed to pick up how to make porcelain. Although compared with the expensive porcelain from far away China, the Tang people's porcelain is cheaper than Chinese porcelain because they are located in Europe. However, cheap is also compared with porcelain from China. If there is no Chinese porcelain, the porcelain of the Tang Dynasty is actually not cheap at all.

For fine porcelain, many countries naturally wanted access to porcelain and the technology to make it. However, people in the Tang Dynasty strictly guarded against the manufacture of porcelain and many advanced technologies, and outsiders had no way of obtaining them. It seems that the manufacturing technology of porcelain was only known to the West in modern times. At present, the people of Tang Dynasty treat the manufacture of porcelain and various advanced craft products in a conservative and protective manner, just like Venice does the manufacture of glass. It is impossible for outsiders to steal glass-making technology and workers from that strictly guarded place.

And now, the news that the Suez Canal will be excavated is like sparks, igniting the whole of Europe. Envoys from many countries began to visit the Tang people one after another, and they also wanted to get a share of the canal excavation process. It's not that they don't want to form a coalition army and wait for the canal to be navigable to seize it. It's really that giant dragon that roams the Mediterranean Sea all day long that makes them have no courage at all. Although, this giant dragon with three heads spends most of its time hiding in the waters of the Tang people to rest and guard it. However, even if the giant dragon went out, they would not dare to use troops. They really had doubts about whether they could defeat the Tang people at this stage.

Tang Ren was obviously unwilling to treat these guys who wanted a piece of the action. However, after careful consideration, I still decided to give them some leftovers. Although they are powerful, their population is their weakness. Even if the domestic army can fight, it is impossible to overthrow the world, and Jiang Ning is naturally indifferent to the struggle between these mortals. Because, before long, this world will be completely swallowed up by the world under his control, and the strong born in this world will also be used by him.

The people of Tang obviously didn't know what Jiang Ning was thinking. Therefore, instead of offending everyone, they might as well try to get some allies for themselves. In this way, no matter how degenerate the descendants will be in the future, once outsiders want to snatch the canal, they must first ask a large number of their allies whether they agree.

And now they can naturally refuse all of them, and they can monopolize the huge profits of the canal. But in this way, it is tantamount to offending the whole world, although they are not afraid. But what if they unite? Although they are very powerful, many ants can kill an elephant! Not afraid of one-on-one, not more than one, afraid of being surrounded and beaten by everyone!

However, it is impossible for the people of Tang to gain such great benefits in vain. Then, it is necessary to rip off these people. You want to participate in the construction of the canal, you want to take a stake, right? No problem. Pay first for the construction of the canal and for future maintenance! If not, then sorry, you don't get the benefit of the canal for free.

The countries are naturally very clear that this is an act of the Tang people ripping off them, but if they want to share the benefits, they will naturally have to bear the cost of building the canal.

Therefore, a staggeringly large amount of money gathered in the land of the Tang people like mountains and seas. These countries that pay money will be able to share a lot of benefits after the canal is successfully opened. However, the biggest leader was monopolized by the Tang people, and what was distributed was only some odds. But even so, it's a huge profit.

It is conceivable that once the canal is open to navigation, it will completely reverse the form of trade between the East and the West, and it will also more thoroughly speed up the exchanges between Eastern and Western civilizations.

So far, the trajectory of the whole world has completely changed. Towards a more unpredictable unknown area. .
