Chapter 945 The Chinese Have Arrived

It’s late summer, and Sohar Port, the maritime trade center of the Kingdom of Oman, is here.

Sohar Port is located on the east side of the Cape of Oman [Strait of Hormuz]. To be precise, it is no longer in the Persian Gulf. It is an important sea trade center between Tianfang and the East, and it is also Oman's most important foreign commercial port.

A small navy fleet is stationed here.Since the Seljuks prepared for war, there has been no second naval force with a different standpoint in the Persian Gulf. The current small naval fleet, as the only warship in the Kingdom of Oman, is unwilling to follow Serjuk. When the Erjuks fought against Lu Qi, they could only be driven out of the Persian Gulf by the Seljuk navy in the Persian Gulf.

The latter is an area under the absolute control of the Seljuks, and the Omanis are unwilling to obey, so they can only leave.

Weak countries have no diplomacy.

The strength of the Seljuks is not comparable to that of the Omanis, and for so many years, the actual control of the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman on the east side has always been in the hands of the Seljuk Empire.In the past, the Omani fleet had to be a grandson obediently, and it is even more so now.

The beast that feels the danger is the most aggressive. If the Seljuks misunderstand, give Oman a paw first, and the small country of Oman, who is single and weak, can't stand it.

The returning navy ships returned to the port one by one to rest and receive supplies, which made Sohar Port very lively.

The role of sailor soldiers in promoting local consumption is quite obvious!But more importantly, at a time when the atmosphere is becoming more and more tense, the residents of Sohar Port expect to be protected by their own navy fleet, so they give it the warmest welcome.

A small fleet, consisting of ten large and small warships, with a total strength of less than a thousand men.

The daily food consumption of the navy is not worth mentioning for Sohar Port. Although the local residents in this place are less than 5000, it is an important commercial port. The needs of food, meat, etc. can be completely met through trade come to meet.

Al Khaimah completed berthing again.Just now it had lowered its anchor, but a Seljuk merchant ship sailed into the port, forcing them to move to another berth.

As an Omani navy, it actually had to move its position in its own port in order to give up better berths to Seljuk merchant ships.This made the sailors on the Khaimah boo.

"Have you heard? The Seljuks now require all ships passing through the strait to be inspected! I don't know if their own merchant ships should do this when they go to Bandar Abbas Port!" Nothing to do.Some sailors on the Al Khaimah watched the Seljuk merchant ships entering the port and chatted with each other.

"It should not be used." An elderly sailor with a wrinkled face said uncertainly: "I heard that the Seljuks did not have such regulations. It mainly depends on the leading officer and his will. In fact, they They mainly focus on the Kalmat faction, they don’t care about the ships of other countries, they are not fools, and they will not be so stupid as to offend all countries now.”

The Karmaite sect, a religious group of the Ismaili branch, established a utopian republic on the south coast of the Persian Gulf during the reign of the Abbasid dynasty (899-1077).The leader of the faction is the supreme leader of faith, administration and military, and is led by a political committee composed of 6 consuls and 6 assistants.The country was built on the basis of slave labor, and the practice of equality for all members and public ownership of property.Residents do not pay taxes and subsidize the state of the poor.But at the same time, he has no mercy for the heretics.

After the fall of the Kalmat Republic, its sect still existed for more than a hundred years, and it was only in recent years that it was suppressed by the Seljuk government.

No one knows why.It is only said that the existence of this sect has affected the rule of the Seljuk Empire. There are also secret rumors that this sect has thousands of connections with the deaths of two generations of Seljuk sultans and the assassination of the famous Prime Minister Nizam Mulek. Inextricably linked.

Before, Sanjar could not reach Kalmat, but after the Seljuk dynasty of Iraq was nominally integrated into the Great Seljuk Empire, Sanjar, who was in control of Baghdad, called the Kalmat faction a street rat. Everyone shouted for beating.

"The Kalmatists didn't write their names on their faces, and the Seljuks got nervous. Why don't they check whoever they want?" A young sailor said with a bad feeling in his heart.

This is the helplessness of weak and small countries, especially the weak and small countries that are next to powerful and big countries.

"The Seljuks are really well prepared this time. There are rumors everywhere on the pier how many soldiers and warships they have prepared, but they just don't know if they can beat the Chinese." Said with a complex expression of Jiehen.

After all, Seljuk is a member of Tianfang. Although they are very domineering and arrogant, Lu Qi comes from another world after all.

The captain was leaning against the side of the ship, eating fruit and listening to the chatter of his sailors with a smile.He is an old man in the Oman Navy. As one of the few captains, he certainly knows much more than ordinary sailors. Especially since he is a noble from the Kingdom of Oman, he can always know some things about ordinary people. Something not easy to hear – and certainly not a secret.

The Kingdom of Oman's current attitude is very clear. It is to watch the fire from the other side and wait for Lu Qi and the Seljuks to fight each other. They can still take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune in war.

The Seljuks have invested a lot in the water army, but the Chinese have a greater advantage at sea - China's firearms cannot be offset simply by the superior number of ships, and compared with the size of their army, the Seljuk water The army can be seen as a big witch.

Besides, what would the Seljuks do with North Tianzhu's signature?The captain was also very curious about what kind of tricks the Seljuks could play in the war.

Anyway, he can't get involved with him, and the Chinese will not be unwise to include Oman in the attack range.All they have to do is watch quietly.

Just then, another small dhow sailed into the harbour.Then a breaking news suddenly swept across the entire Sohar Port.The officers and soldiers on the Al Khaimah suddenly saw a small Seljuk dhow, quickly anchored and set sail, and sailed out of Sohar Port at the fastest speed.

Everyone was ignorant until the news reached the Al Khaimah from the land.Only then did they know that the Chinese had already arrived.

They suddenly arrived outside Zufar Harbor, and arbitrarily seized Zufar Harbor.

Zufar Port nominally belongs to the Abbasid Dynasty, which is the second hereditary dynasty in the Tianfang World, and is called the Black Clothes Dashi in Chinese historical records.Under the rule of this dynasty, Tianfang World reached its peak.However, when Li Tang was in decline, when Li Tang was going to perish, the caliph in black and rich food also completely lost his rights.Only Baghdad and a small area around it remained under the direct control of the dynasty.The caliphate became a puppet of the Bwehi dynasty and the Seljuks successively.

"The war has begun!"

Countless people suddenly realized.
