Fang Xian was treated to a banquet by Nagpur at a local restaurant in Kalihet.
The main color of the dishes on the table is yellow, including curry beef, curry lamb, curry chicken, curry beef brisket, curry prawns, etc
The amazing thing is that the wines here mainly come from Europe, and red wine is the mainstay when dining. Perhaps due to local religious reasons, there has never been any praiseworthy wine.
After taking a few bites of the dishes, the ladies put down their tableware one after another, saying that all the dishes smelled like body odor. Fang Xian could only eat with willpower, relying on countless pancakes to dilute the strong taste.
Zhang Dashun and Daerba ate happily, especially Zhang Dashun, who almost shed tears after eating.
¡°It just tastes like this¡after returning to China¡I can¡¯t make it myself!¡±
"Haha!" Nagpur looked fat, "Okay, only our Indian curry can make Indian food!"
Zhang Dashun took a sip of wine, wiped his lips and sighed: "Our admiral back then also liked the food here very much."
"Yes, yes, Master Sanbao's blood comes from India!"
Nagpur brought up the topic, and the two chatted over wine and chatted about the deeds of Lord Sanbao back then.
Fang Xian was confused and had to ask Yu Yan: "What are the three guarantees?"
Yu Yan spat out the chicken bones and said with a smile: "Without culture, the three guarantees are Zheng He Zheng He is not a Chinese, he is a Semu, and he is an Islamist. You don't know that, right?"
¡°My great Eunuch Zheng is not Chinese?¡±
Yu Yan wiped her hands and started to lecture: "Zheng He. His original name is Ma Sanbao. You should know the surname Ma, right?"
"Well, many Hui compatriots have the surname Ma."
"MuhamudMahamuddo you think the pronunciation is similar?"
"You mean? A horse is equal to Muhammad?"
"It's not what I said, it was said by a fat man on TV Ma Sanbao was born in Kunming. He should be a Semu people who moved there from an Arab country. No one can tell whether it is India or where. He is very When he was about 18 years old, the Ming army occupied Yunnan and kidnapped Ma Sanbao, who was later sent to the palace. He was promoted to eunuch But Ma Sanbao was very good at doing it, pleasing everyone above and below him, and later made great contributions to Zhu Di. Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty liked it very much. He wanted to be promoted, but the surname Ma could not be used in the Three Treasures Hall, so he gave him the surname 'Zheng' and the name 'He'."
¡°So that¡¯s it, the eunuch who has been engaged in the Three Treasures for a long time is an Arab.¡±
"Yes." Yu Yan sighed, "Zheng He, who is over 60 years old, is still obsessed with making seven voyages to the West. Perhaps he is looking for his roots and the legendary holy land."
"You meanMecca?"
"No, he has already been to Mecca. Maybe another place."
¡°Jesus Salem?!¡±
Yuyan shrugged, indicating that she didn¡¯t know anything anymore.
On the other side, Nagpur and Zhang Dashun have reached the point of hugging each other and crying.
"AdmiralAdmiral, why did you just leave like this" Zhang Dashun howled loudly.
"Ahem" Fang Xian felt that the words sounded uncomfortable.
Seeing Zhang Dashun crying sadly, Nagpur hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "May I ask, which Ming Dynasty emperor is in power in Dongtu now?"
"Ming? It's long gone." Zhang Dashun sighed, "It's the Qing Dynasty now But the court is in name only, if you have to say it. The court has to look at a person's face to act."
"Oh?! Who?!"
Zhang Dashun laughed and pointed at Fang Xian: "Of course he is my Admiral Fang! Now the court has to provide him with money every month."
Nagpur was quite surprised. Looking back at the fleet seen at the pier, it was no less than that of Zheng He. Those iron warships loaded with tons of sailors and cannonballs were no match for the legendary Europeans. He also has the strength to fight.
When you think about it, you are right.
Nagpur bowed again and came to Fang Xian. He had previously thought that no matter how powerful the young admiral was, he would not surpass Zheng He's status. But seeing this, he was mistaken.
"Great Admiral! I, Nagpur, respect you!"
"" Fang Xian didn't want to ruin everyone's interest, so he had to accept it. He was still thinking about how to trick Nagpur, and he felt embarrassed.
After Nagpur thought for a while, he finally said: "Distinguished guests, what I am going to say nextis?Secret, but now that the dynasty has changed, it is no longer a secret, but I still hope to keep it as secret as possible, okay? "
Hearing that there is a secret, a bunch of women with no appetite gathered around again. This is gossip that travels through time and space.
Zhang Dashun instinctively felt something, and the expression on his face became wonderful and excited.
"You meanAdmiral Zheng"
"He's not dead," Nagpur said with a smile.
"Sure enough! It's true!" Zhang Dashun became excited, "Finally when our fleet sailed here, Admiral Zheng suddenly fell ill and died. He wanted to be buried here before his death, not in Dongtu. Sure enough, he had seven orifices."
Nagpur nodded: "Yes, Admiral Zheng did die of illness in Kalihet, and it was me, Nagpur, who was responsible for burying Admiral Zheng."
Fang Xian and Yu Yan looked at each other. This time even Teacher Wang, who had studied for five thousand years, panicked.
Na Pang, you are so profound.
Nagpur said quietly: "After Master Sanbao went to sea for the seventh time, he still did not reach the place he wanted to go. Finally, he passed by Kalihet and came here to eat. This is it."
Fang Xian couldn't help but touch his bench. This little shop was so deep.
"Here, Mr. Sanbao cried. He said that he had tried his best to ask your emperor for the opportunity to go to sea, but now the treasury is becoming more and more empty, and the Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more unstable. In addition, he is old. If we go back, I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t have the chance to go to sea again.¡±
Nagpur said this. Somewhat sad: "The Holy Land is the destination that every compatriot wants to reach in his life."
Fang Xian's face twitched and he said to Yuyan, "He said compatriots?"
Yuyan quickly reassured: "He is talking about fellow religious people, you are overthinking Nagpur continued: "I am the person who can best understand Master Sanbao. Although I don't know the situation of the Ming Dynasty at that time, from the eyes of Master Sanbao Here, I have read despair. I will use the Lord¡¯s teachings. Come to comfort and encourage Master Sanbao. Lord Sanbao seemed to have endless power suddenly emerging from his heart. He suddenly became radiant and couldn¡¯t wait to say to me - ¡®I understand! I see! I have been unable to reach the Holy City. It¡¯s because my heart is not pure enough and my behavior cannot meet the Lord¡¯s requirements! I want to go to the Holy City with my own feet and collect food with my own hands. Move the Lord with my sincerity! ¡¡¯¡±
Fang Xian had already covered his ears to prevent his views from being distorted. He could see that Nagpur was still mumbling a lot of things. Although everyone was a little confused, they still showed respect.
Nagpur finally said: "That's it, I made this plan with Lord Sanbao. Lord Sanbao pretended to be ill and died in Kalikhat. In fact, he put down all the ships with his own hands and a cane." .The army and the gold and silver treasures, wearing only a robe, went to the holy city in his heart."
After listening to the story, everyone had different sighs.
Zhao Ling'er clasped her hands, "What a romantic story I really hope he can find it."
Nagpur: "I think Master Sanbao has already found it after he put down his identity and wealth."
Lin Yueru: "Having been doing this for a long time is a public-funded and semi-private matter?"
Zhang Dashun is loyal and loyal: "How can you say that? Master Sanbao's achievements are unprecedented?"
Wang Yuyan expressed disdain: "Crooked history."
Nagpur caressed his belly. Smiling without saying a word.
A scene emerged in Fang Xian's eyes.
An old man has experienced all the suffering and glory in the world.
Being conquered, becoming a slave, being imprisoned and becoming a eunuch.
Officials hold important positions. He made seven voyages to the West, was worshiped by Bai Bang, and performed feats that shocked the world.
Such a person finally took off some of his clothes, leaned on crutches, and disappeared into the desert step by step.
If you could see his front, Fang Xian felt that he must be smiling.
Of course, maybe this is just a story like "One Thousand and One Nights".
¡°If Zheng He¡¯s final destination was Jerusalem, he obviously chose the wrong direction and the wrong way. It's faster to go from the Mediterranean or the Red Sea. Judging from Zheng He's previous voyages to the Western Ocean, it's basically a bit worse.
On the contrary, if you start walking from Calihaite and go all the way west, it may take a few years to actually reach that place.
Nagpur interrupted everyone's contemplation and said with a smile: "Okay, you don't have to think about it anymore. After all, that happened decades ago. As long as we believe, Master Sanbao will get there."
After all, Dalba also has a religious background, and he deeply believes in this.?.
After hearing so much, Fang Xian simply didn¡¯t dare to make a move against Fatty Shena. This fat man was so kind, carried such a romantic mission, and told a legendary story. How could he be deceived? ! !
But in order to conquer a sea area and obtain the certificate of hegemony, one must have a high power value foundation. In other words, one must seize a power's territory through competition.
There are only two forces in the Indian Ocean, the Nagpur Chamber of Commerce and the Wooding Chamber of Commerce.
Fang Xian's body trembled, and the positions of Wu Ding and Na Pang were instantly reversed.
"Help the rich and make the five! Help the fat and make the handsome!" He couldn't help but slapped the table and shouted.
"Admiral Fang, what's wrong with you?" Na Pang looked at him puzzled.
"It's okay." Fang Xian shook his head and asked Na Pang, "Friend, can you introduce me to the situation in this sea area?"
"Is this sea area?" Nagpur sighed, "Everyone, entertaining you is my only ability. I think in a few days, my chamber of commerce will collapse, and I will turn back to the penniless person I am. of ghetto kids.¡±
"What? Has the bet already been established?"
"Yes." Nagpur's eyes were full of regret, "I promise to pay the requisition fee for Wooding Port, one gold coin on the first day, two gold coins on the second day"
"Breaking the contract!" Fang Xian scolded, he had endured this for a long time.
"You can't break the promise!" Nagpur's eyes widened. "To break the promise is to betray the Lord. I can't do that. I would rather go on like this day by day and watch my chamber of commerce collapse. I would rather go back to the slums than betray the Lord. My own beliefs!¡±
Fang Xian was stunned for a moment and finally felt relieved.
He used to always wonder why Nagpur closed down like this. Not even a fart, so it can be explained.
"Mascot, Aden and Romax." Na Pang beat his chest and stamped his feet. "I originally wanted to gain share over there and press Wooding, but I didn't expect to be defeated. It's my own fault."
"How many days can your financial resources last?"
Na Pang was startled: "Five to six days"
Fang Xian turned to Yu Yan and asked, "How much money do we have left?"
Yu Yan had already guessed what Fang Xian was planning and said tangledly: "Uncle Xianif the Nagpur Chamber of Commerce collapses and the money is swallowed up, it will never come back again."
"Money is not a thing. Tell me, how much do we have?"
Yu Yan gritted her teeth: "Thirty-seven million gold coins. We have all our savings. We need to keep 2 million for active use, and the maximum expenditure is 35 million."
Nagpur exclaimed: "Oh my god, it is four times the assets of my Chamber of Commerce!"
Fang Xian grinned and said: "It's useless. You won a geometric bet. This money can last you one more day at most."
"Me?" Nagpur's head was not spinning fast enough.
Yu Yan sighed and allocated 35 million gold coins to the Nagpur Chamber of Commerce.
Diabetes insipidus occurs instantly after losing weight.
¡°This¡this¡this, this, this¡¡±
Zhang Dashun had followed the admiral for so long and had already seen Fang Xian's plan, and he was extremely excited at this time. He grabbed Na Pang and pushed him in front of Fang Xian: "Why don't you thank Admiral soon!!! He wants to destroy Wooding!!"
¡°Destroy¡¡¡¡Wooding?!¡±
Zhang Dashun said gratefully: "Admiral Fang, I didn't expect that you would take such a big risk to help Nana because of your old love for Dashun Dashun will follow the admiral for the rest of his life!"
Fang Xian had a straight face and stared into Nagpur's eyes: "Whether you sell all your property, borrow money or something else, please be sure not to go bankrupt within seven days."
It¡¯s been so long. Nagpur finally understood something.
"Admiral Fangyou want totake those three ports?"
"Well, then I will terminate the agreement as the port occupier, so that you can maintain your beliefs without going bankrupt."
"Admiral Fang!!" Poole's eyes were filled with snot and tears. The Easterners were all distinguished guests, and they actually took such a big risk for themselves while talking and laughing.
"Don't be happy, you have to return double the money to me when it's over Haha, you are allowed to pay in installments over 100 years."
For 7 days, Fang Xian didn¡¯t waste any more time.
The Fang family navy urgently summoned all sailors to go to sea. Yue Ruru led a large North Sea three-pole sailing fleet to sail to Aden. Li Huamei's Chinese sailing fleet went straight to Lomax, and the two main armored fleets attacked Masket on the west coast of the Indian Ocean. . If Wooding reacted and wanted to fight, he would only have enough time for the main fleet to sail to Muscat.
Calculating the time, if everyone advances at full speed, it will take about 5-6 days to reach those ports. If the wind direction is not strong in the middle and God is not favourable, it will take at least 7 days.
In the geometric gambling game, if Wooding had to pay 1 million gold coins on the first day, then the next day would be 100 million gold coins, which is 100 million.
Therefore, it is impossible to survive until the eighth day, and Fang Xian's entire financial resources can only survive until the seventh day.
The sailing ship was assigned a temporary master, more sailors were added, and the sailors of the ironclad ship were working hard to achieve the strategic goal within 7 days.
Late at night, on the deck of the Dashun, Fang Xian felt the speed of a steam cruise ship, but he still felt that it was not enough.
Yu Yan brought a coat and put it on Fang Xian.
"I still don't understand why you want to go far away from the near."
Ask to go far, what you say is naturally helping to fat, destroy Wu Ding.
If Na Pang is ignored, his chamber of commerce will be disbanded within a few days, and the Fang family navy can easily annex his territory and meet the power value requirements of maritime hegemony, and then contact Wooding to find evidence of hegemony.
But now the situation is exactly the opposite. Fang Xian is coming back to eliminate Wooding, wasting people and money.
"Yu Yan, don't you think this is the story guiding us." Fang Xian tried his best to look at the other side, but couldn't see the other side.
"Zheng He's story?" Yu Yan snorted, "I don't believe it."
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not." Fang Xian said sternly, "From the beginning to the end, the method of obtaining the Certificate of Overlord of the Sea every day is different from my original memory. The Certificate of Overlord of East Asia appeared in Yoshihara, and it was necessary to destroy Meiji's love; Southeast Asia has to go through cockfights and use kindness to win the favor of the chickens; I believe that the proof of dominance in the Indian Ocean is no longer that simple."
Yu Yan was startled: "You mean it will be at that place?!!"
Yu Yan sketched a map in her mind. After thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "No, strictly speaking, that's the Mediterranean."
"It can also be regarded as the Red Sea, right?"
"You can't count it like that!"
"Haha! That place is the intersection of the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe. It is the origin of three religions. You can count it no matter what!"
"Oh my god" Yu Yan was speechless, "Is this proof of overlord"
"Maybe it has something to do with God." Fang Xian said.
The sailing time in the game passes very quickly, and five days only lasts for more than ten seconds.
In front of him, two Arab fleets were already greeting him.
Day and night change, and it is noon.
The admiral opposite also had a calm look, very chic, and there were three beauties and a fat man surrounding him.
??Looking at it this way, the staffing similarities on both sides are a bit ridiculously high.
Over there are Wooding¡¯s three wives and a fat white retainer.
Here are Fang Xian¡¯s two wives (Yueru has gone to Aden) and a fat black Dalba.
Although Fang Xian was well prepared for this scene, the admiral across from him was extremely surprised. After counting, he couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, Oriental, I have one more wife than you!"
Fang Xian was unhappy and couldn't explain it, so he picked up Su Mei and shouted to the other side: "Do you understand child bride?"
"" The person opposite said dumbly, thinking about it, when the two wives are old, this child bride will be mature enough to have sex, I think this Oriental guy opposite is very thoughtful. rs! ~!
