Qiwang Port is located near the equator. There is no saying of spring, summer, autumn and winter all year round, only rainy seasons and dry seasons.

However, today's weather is very powerful, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as clear sky.

On the sea, groups of seagulls rushed into the sky and sometimes chased and played on the water.

"General Muaweiye, there is Qiwang Port ahead. The several merchant ships we intercepted just now should have all come out of Qiwang Port."

Hassan stood on the deck in a very anticipated mood, fantasizing about the scene where King Qi Port was controlled by the Great Food Empire.

For him, although he made a lot of money through the trade between tea and sugar.

But if there is no sugar, he did not make less money when selling frosting.

As for tea, although this new thing is also very profitable, it is currently mainly consumed among nobles because it is relatively expensive.

Compared with Hassan's previous monopoly on the burlap business of the Dashi Empire, this money is considered small money.

This time, Hassan's Dashi Empire took action against King Harbor, and the most important thing was to cut off the cotton cloth of the Tang Dynasty and continue to enter the Dashi Empire.

Otherwise, his linen business would be completely ruined, and a large group of farmers and craftsmen behind him would be in trouble.

As for silk, it is like tea, which is something that nobles enjoy, but in fact it does not bring much stimulation to Hassan.

Of course, in addition to these direct reasons, the Tang Dynasty navy that appeared in the King of Qi directly turned this area of ​​water into the sphere of influence of the Tang Dynasty, which is difficult for a great cannibal to accept.

So as soon as Hassan pushed, many people in the country immediately responded, supporting General Muaweiye to lead the navy to attack the Datang navy at the King of Qi Port.

In their opinion, as long as we control the King of Qi Port, the Western Ocean will still have the final say.

In fact, if their plan really succeeds, then there is no problem with this statement.

"In just half a day, several merchant ships were heading towards our Great Food Empire. Although half of them were our Great Food Man's own merchant ships, the density of this ship was also very scary.

No wonder there have been many more products from the East in China during this period, which has put a lot of pressure on many of our own workshops."

Muaweiye was one of the generals who truly held military power in the Great Food Empire. The Hashem family behind him also had huge commercial interests within the Great Food Empire.

He himself had no special opinions on the goods of the Tang Dynasty. Anyway, there are many things that cannot be produced in China.

Like the pocket watch he carried, he thought it was a good thing.

However, if these good things were transported directly to the Dashi Empire by Tangren and all the profits were taken away by Tangren, he would feel that it would be a bit inappropriate.

In the past, the goods in the Dashi Empire were either produced by themselves in China or transported by Dashi merchants from overseas.

To be honest, most of the profits of these businesses were taken away by the cannibals themselves.

"Yes, so it is very necessary for us to cut off the tentacles that extended to the West. Otherwise, more and more Indian and Tang merchants will come directly to our Dashi Empire to do business, which will have a greater impact on our own merchants and farmers."

Hassan personally witnessed the impact of cotton cloth on the textile industry within the Dashi Empire.

In just two years, the quality and low-cost cotton cloth almost completely collapsed the textile industry in the Dashi Empire.

Only some self-sufficiency farmers were left, and they were not greatly affected.

"I heard that the Tang people are very rich. Ali is now heading east from the northern part of the Persian Empire with his cavalry. We are now heading east from the sea. I want to see who will win the battle against the Tang first."

Muaweiye was a general in the Great Food Empire, but on par with him was Ali from another faction.

The forces they each support have now become very prominent.

If history has not changed, a major civil war will eventually break out within the Great Food Empire. The two major forces behind Muaweiye and Ali will eventually form two major sects, which will affect the world more than a thousand years later.

So this time Muaweiye led his army to attack the King of Qi in the Tang Dynasty, and he had the idea of ​​competing with Ali.

In the Dashi Empire, Ali fought bravely and had the most powerful cavalry of the Dashi Empire. So far, he has never been defeated.

"Although General Ali made great contributions to the empire, the territory in the northern part of the Persian Sassanid Empire was basically very barren. Even if he conquered these places, he might not bring much benefit to the country.

Unless he can completely occupy all the cities on the Silk Road and control the Silk Road in the hands of our Great Food Empire."

Although Hassan is not from the same faction as Ali, he still admires Ali's courage very much.

"The tentacles of the Tang Dynasty have now reached the King of Qi Port, and the southern part of Tianzhu is almost within the influence of the Tang Dynasty.

Most of the silk in our country is from Qiwang Port now, right? The Silk Road on the original land has probably declined significantly.

Even if Ali really captures all those cities, it may not necessarily bring any benefits to our empire in the end."

It is said that literati are inferior to each other.

In fact, military generals are similar.

No one accepts anyone.

This situation is even more complicated when it comes to the political interests of the forces behind it.

Obviously, Muaweiye looked down on Ali.

"What you said is also very correct. It is precisely because of this that our attack on Qiwanggang this time seems more meaningful."

Of course, Hassan would not argue with Muaweiye.

"Woo! Woo! Woo!"

Before Muaweiye could continue to say anything, the sailor responsible for looking at the mast had already issued a warning.

Afterwards, various shouts of "discovering the enemy" and "preparing for battle" came from all over the ships.

"General, there are more than a dozen unknown sea ships in front of them. They don't look like merchant ships. I guess we happened to meet the Tang people's warship."

Soon, someone came to Muaweiye to report the situation.

Well-trained seafarers also ran to their respective positions.

The soldiers responsible for jumping ships also drew their waist knives and were ready to attack at any time.

For the navy of the Great Food Empire, they found their opponents, then leaned forward and relied on the brave soldiers to jump onto the other party's ship to fight.

This is their most commonly used tactic.
