However, these things did not make Wang Baobao happy.

He quickly realized the problem: "Although we have money and food, we lack artillery! Only three artillery pieces are completely insufficient!"

This sentence caused the newly wealthy generals to fall into silence.

yes!

Artillery is now Dayuan's key weapon.

Wang Baobao had previously thought about organizing a group of craftsmen to study artillery technology, but due to insufficient level, it was never implemented.

Now it seems that this matter must be resolved.

A plan soon appeared in Wang Baobao's mind.

He wants to build an artillery army belonging to Dayuan!

In the Indian Ocean, the fleet flying the red flag of the Ming Dynasty finally arrived in Persia!

Under the introduction of Persian businessman Maru Ali, the Persian destination of the Ming Dynasty fleet was chosen in Bayer Black City!

This is a small city, at most the size of a county seat in the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming fleet led by Tang He had just arrived at the Bayer Black Port in the Persian Gulf, and was immediately warmly welcomed by the local Persian lord Abbas. A large number of Bayer Black people came to the port, wanting to see the rich and powerful Eastern Ming Empire.

Style!

In Bayerhei, Persia, people only knew that the Ming Empire was very powerful, but they had never heard of how powerful it was. Moreover, most people had never seen a real Ming Navy. Now that they had finally seen one, they were naturally very excited.

At this time, Tang He, wearing a red official uniform and a black gauze hat, stood on the side of the ship, waving to the crowd around him, looking very cordial.

"Haha, brothers, it seems that our people in the Ming Dynasty are quite enthusiastic, right?" the deputy general on the side joked with a smile.

"Haha, who says our Ming Empire has such a high prestige? These Persians must be trying to take advantage."

The deputy general's words caused everyone to burst into laughter.

"Okay, stop laughing, hurry up and get ready to land, dock the ship to have a rest, and then get ready to rest!"

Tang He said with a serious face, obviously he used this attitude to maintain his image as a Ming official.

Following Tanghe's order, more than a dozen warships slowly moored at the dock, waiting for soldiers to land.

Just as everyone was landing one after another, suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves in the distance, and then a young man riding a white horse and wearing gorgeous armor galloped over to the dock.

This man is Abbas, the lord of Bayer Black City in Persia.

Although he is a noble lord, he still behaves respectfully when facing the huge Ming fleet.

"Haha, welcome the distinguished envoy of the Ming Dynasty to our Bayer Black!"

Abbas led the people to Tang He and said to him with a smile.

Tang He nodded slightly and replied:

"Lord Abbas is welcome!"

At this time, Tang and the navy soldiers around him all looked wary, fearing that Abbas would do something.

After all, there are too many Persians in this port.

It can almost be said that the whole city is dispatched!

And Abbas seemed to have noticed the hostile gaze of the Ming navy soldiers, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "Please rest assured, I have absolutely no other intentions. I just heard that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty sent an envoy here, so the people can't bear it.

I just want to pay my respects, but I don’t have any other intention.”

Persia has been a prosperous area in the Western Regions since ancient times. Since the Arab Empire conquered Persia, the prosperous local economy has allowed the Arab Empire to quickly enter its most powerful period.

However, it was precisely because of the prosperity of the Persian region that this land became a arena for battles between conquerors, large and small.

More than ten years ago, the Mongol Yin Er Khanate that once ruled Persia fell, and Persia fell into a chaotic war between warlords from all over the country.

The military strength of Bayer Black City is weak, and the two major forces of Mozaffari in the north and Sabankara in the west compete fiercely, both of which are eyeing the wealthy and weak Bayer Black City.

The weak Bayer Black City has to pay two protection fees every year in order to survive in the gap between the two major forces.

However, not long ago, Mozaffari was defeated in a battle with Sabankara, and the victorious Lord Ayubuz of Sabankara immediately had the intention of annexing Beirhei City.

Ayubuz first declared himself the protector of Bayern Black City, and then ordered Abbas, the lord of Bayern Black City, to go to Ayubuz's castle to swear allegiance.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After Abbas's tactful refusal, Ayubuz immediately became furious. He heard that troops and horses had been prepared in his territory, and it might happen at any time.

Launch an attack on Bayerhei City.

As an official and translator of the Ming army, Malu Ali's hometown is Beirhei City, and his family business is also based in Beirhei City.

If Ayubuz's army is allowed to occupy Beirhei City, many industries will inevitably be destroyed by the war.

Ayubuz, the lord of Sabankara, has always had a reputation of being cruel and greedy. Even if the city of Bairhe was not attacked, he would have his blood and marrow sucked out during his subsequent rule.

Therefore, Maru Ali also sent a message to Abbas, asking him to be respectful to the Ming soldiers and envoys. Only in this way can the powerful Ming army be moved and let them help Baihei City overcome this difficulty.

Therefore, Abbas responded to the visiting Ming Dynasty fleet's requests. In the following days, whether it was necessary water food, fresh vegetables and meat, Abbas selected the best supplies from all the supplies in Bayerhei.

Good supplies were given to the Ming Dynasty fleet.

Tang He naturally felt Abbas's thoughts.

Taking this opportunity, Maru Ali and Abbas made a very sincere request to Tanghe.

"As the lord of Beirhei City, I am willing to swear allegiance to the Ming Emperor who is thousands of miles away. I will always be the loyal guardian of Ming Dynasty in Persia. To all Ming merchants and troops who arrive at Beirhei City, Doujiao belongs to my Abbas family.

My benefactor and eternal friend!”

Abbas, the lord of Beirhei City, expressed to Tang He his willingness to let the Ming army help him defend the city, and promised to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty forever.

But to be honest, in Abbas's mind, the reason why he came to seek help from the Ming army general Tang He was actually more because of Maru Ali's persuasion.

After several slave trades with the Ming Dynasty, the Malu Ali family gained great wealth and prestige, and became a big businessman that Abbas in Bayer City valued very much. Naturally, Abbas also paid attention to what Malu Ali said.

However, Maru Ali explained that although his army only had more than 10,000 people, it could defeat the Persian army of 100,000 people. Such words made Abbas very sure that Maru Ali was bragging.
