Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

This made the Mamluk Sultan of Cairo a little restless, and began to wonder when the Mamluk Jihad Army would be transferred back.

Although the possibility of the Crusaders attacking Egypt is not great, what if?

Balsbey took his own life very seriously.

The situation in the Mulholland camp looked precarious at this time, and Aziz II, who was in Tunis, suddenly discovered a ridiculous fact.

The strength I can rely on most now is actually those Sirisians!

At this moment of panic, three thousand Serisians are still loyally stationed in the fortress outside Tunisia, protecting the prism magic cannon from any force.

The chaotic situation outside has not affected the fort in the slightest.Every Serisian, from officials to ordinary soldiers and sailors, faithfully fulfills their duties every day.

The oriental princess even showed the calm demeanor of the royal family, and even had the leisure to go to Tunisia to visit relatives and friends every day, and spread the extensive and profound Seris tea culture.

One morning in early August, Her Royal Highness Princess Zhu Yusang took a carriage, accompanied by an old eunuch, to the community of unbelievers in Tunis.

These unbelievers are quite a special group in Tunisia. They are very talented in business, and the prosperity of the city cannot be separated from them.But because they have no faith, they are often ostracized by the mainstream residents of the city.In order to reduce conflicts between the two sides, Tultan can only classify the unbelievers into a special area and set up special laws for management.

There were also unbelievers in the Ming Dynasty.Some of these people came to Daming through the intersection of the celestial sphere, and some of them arrived in China on the ships of Arab merchants as early as the Song Dynasty, and they had already taken root there.

The unbelievers of the Ming Dynasty had basically fully integrated into the society, and they were able to participate in the imperial examinations to become officials, no different from ordinary Ming people.In Zhu Yusian's view, this is the advanced nature of the Ming court and the superiority of Chinese civilization.

Zhu Yudian was able to meet a non-believer friend in Tunisia because there were only bookstores for non-believers selling books that would allow her to gain a deep understanding of Western history and culture.

After many shopping experiences, she met the owner of this bookstore, a beautiful woman named Valentina.

Princess Daming's carriage stopped in front of a house where three date palm trees were planted.The old eunuch Wang jumped out of the carriage lightly and ran to knock on the door.

After a while, a tall, green-skinned female orc opened the door.

"Princess Yongfu is here." Although the old eunuch Wang didn't shout at the top of his voice, he still emphasized it enough.

The female orc seemed to have gotten used to the other party's demeanor, she nodded and got out of the way into the house.

The old eunuch Wang shook his head, muttered in his heart, "Sure enough, he is a barbarian with no manners", and then went out to introduce Her Royal Highness the princess.

About 10 minutes later, the elegant oriental beauty sat opposite to the coquettish and charming western beauty in the reception room.

Princess Yongfu played with a set of royal tea sets, showing Valentina the mysterious and elegant tea culture of the East.

However, Valentina was not interested in Her Royal Highness's elegant and complex techniques, she just stared at the treated black needle-shaped plant leaves.

This magical oriental plant, after being brewed in hot water, will emit a refreshing fragrance, which has the magical effect of concentrating attention, enhancing perception, and accelerating the recovery of magic power.

This function is very similar to the brown-red bean fruit with a unique aroma produced by "Green Africa" ​​in the population of Mulholland.

Seeing Valentina staring blankly at the inside of the tea pot, Princess Yongfu smiled and asked, "Miss Valentina, what are you thinking about now?"

Valentina came back to her senses and apologized: "Forgive me for being distracted, Your Royal Highness. I just saw the magical drink 'tea' and felt that if Daming could establish a route with Europe, it must be the most popular. One of the welcome items."

"Unfortunately, the sea is vast and the road ahead is bleak. It is not easy to find the way back to Daming." Princess Yongfu shook her head slightly, "It is even more difficult to establish a stable route."

Zhu Yusian has really fought against wind and waves on the sea, and knows how dangerous and difficult sailing is.However, no matter how many difficulties she faced, she could not give up her plan to return to Daming, but judging from the current situation, it was indeed very difficult to achieve this goal.

Although the Mamluk Sultan Barsbey, as well as the leader of the Safavid Church and the reincarnation of the prophet Ismail, have all made promises to Princess Yongfu and are willing to help her return to Daming, but if their promises are to be fulfilled, now There is no sign of this yet.

These two villains are not dishonest, it's just that the battle is fierce now, and the Mulholland camp is at a disadvantage, and there is no spare energy to help Mingren go home.

What's more, now the 3000-strong Ming forces have become the custodians of the prism magic cannon under the game of all parties, and there is no way to leave at will.

However, let the situation continue to develop, when the Crusaders attacked the city of Tunisia, would Zhu Yudian still want to use the blood of Daming's children to fight for the Mulhollan followers?

Why?

Last time in the naval battle, I helped Ismail defeat the Son of Salt Mist, stopped the huge fleet of the Seven Saints, and grabbed the Prism Magic Cannon.

Zhu Yudian didn't want to be involved in the war between the two major religious forces tens of thousands of miles away from Daming.She hoped to bring all of Daming's children home as much as possible.

Staying neutral is a position she will never change.

As for why Her Royal Highness Princess Yongfu firmly believes that the Crusaders will win, I have to ask Valentina.

In the process of their relationship, she intentionally or unintentionally disclosed a lot of information about Ma Youfu to Zhu Yudong.Let Her Royal Highness, the princess, have a very in-depth understanding compared to her fellow countrymen who lived in Europe a year or two earlier.

After Zhu Yusang learned about Ma Youfu's fortune from the beginning to the end, he commented on him: This man is extraordinary, similar to Wei Wu.

Indeed, in the eyes of the aloof Princess Yongfu, a child of a sea merchant can achieve such an achievement in just two years in a foreign land with completely different cultures, beliefs, and races. A hero can do it.And judging by his behavior style—especially his private life style, he really looks a bit like that Emperor Wu of Wei.

If Ma Youfu knew what Her Royal Highness thought of him, he would definitely shake his head: I don’t massacre cities, and I don’t write poems. Although a minister in power loves his wife, I’m also a good boy. How can I be compared with the traitors of the Three Kingdoms?

Although in this era, the overall strength of the two major religious camps, Mulholland and the Seven Sages, is actually about the same.But because the Maghreb is geographically closer to Europe and it is easier for the Crusaders to project power, the Mulholland camp is weaker in this religious war.

In addition, there is Ma Youfu on the side of the Crusaders, so Princess Yongfu believes that the Europeans must win the final victory.Sooner or later, the Crusaders will come to the city of Tunisia. If the three thousand Ming children are not to be reduced to cannon fodder for both sides in the war, Princess Yongfu needs to find a way out as soon as possible.

It's a pity that although she is smart, she is in a foreign country, not familiar with the local situation, has no connections, and can't come up with any good ideas in a short time.

That's why Her Royal Highness made friends with Valentina on purpose, hoping to find a way out with the help of unbelievers.

Looking at Princess Daming lamenting the difficulty of going home, Valentina felt a sense of sympathy: You have a home and can't go back, but I don't even have a home.I don't know who is more pitiful.

With a small sigh in her heart, Valentina showed a confident smile again: "Your Highness, I, like you, believe that the Crusaders will win in the end. The Duke of Bar will eventually conquer Tunisia. Since the Knowing this result, then you should prepare in advance."

"You want me to betray the Mulhollan people and join the Crusaders?" Princess Yongfu asked.

From her point of view, these two major forces are foreigners, and there is no question of loyalty, and jumping has no moral burden.It's just that jumping back is also a technical job-especially when there are two thousand Mulholland soldiers in the fortress.

No matter what choice Princess Yongfu makes, the first consideration is that the risk should not be too high, so as to cause too much loss to her subordinate Daming Erlang.

Being sympathetic to her subordinates is a reason, and more importantly, if she loses too many people, how can she sail through thousands of miles of waves and return to her hometown?

"It's not the Crusaders. To be precise, it's Ma Youfu. In a strange place, people of the same clan are always more friendly than foreigners, aren't they?" Valentina said.

Princess Yongfu acquiesced to this statement.

Valentina added: "However, we still have a lot of things to do before taking refuge with the Duke of Barr. And the timing must be well grasped. For example, the two thousand Mulholland soldiers in the fortress. They are mutually constrained by various forces. Nails are also a tool to guard against you smart people."

In order to ensure that no force, including the Ming people, can monopolize the Magic Prism Cannon, the four countries of Tunisia, Aries, Ottomans, and Mamluks each sent [-] elite soldiers to the fortress to "assist" the Ming army in protecting the Magic Prism Cannon. .

If Princess Yongfu wants to rebound, this army must be eliminated.

The problem is that Princess Yongfu has a total of 3000 people, of which only [-] are serious Ming soldiers, and there are [-] sailors.The rest are professionals and handymen in agriculture, commerce, medicine, and engineering.

Even if Daming was truly invincible, if he wanted to kill two thousand Mulhollan elites with this force, the loss would be unbearable.

However, Valentina came up with the idea of ​​"changing the civet cat for the prince" for Princess Yongfu.

Now the city of Tunis is defenseless, and Sultan Aziz II cannot sleep well every day.That being the case, it would be better to send the [-] Mulholran elites in the fortress to Tunisia, and then another [-] miscellaneous troops come over.

Chapter 450 Eighth Accidental Encounter

The replacement of two thousand miscellaneous troops is not only because the power to check and balance the Ming army has been greatly weakened.The origins of these motley crews are complex.There are mercenaries and there are volunteers.Some came from Egypt or the Levant, others were Berber nomads from the Sahara.There are even followers of the Seven Saints and the Orthodox Church from the Balkans and the Caucasus.

It is not surprising that Ma Youfu has the Royal Association Army who believes in the Mulhollan religion, and the Mulhollan camp has pagans who have paid for the Sudan.

The loyalty of these people is very doubtful. As long as Princess Yongfu is willing to divide and win over, the success rate of the plan to jump back will be greatly increased.

In order to conduct tribute trade with countries along the route at any time, the treasure ships were loaded with a large number of special products from Ming Dynasty.Tea, silk, and porcelain are hard currencies in overseas countries.Princess Yongfu has enough things in her hands to carry out this plan.

"Miss Valentina, your suggestion enlightened me." The more Princess Yongfu thought about it, the more she felt that this plan was feasible.She said to the old eunuch standing beside her, "My lord, when I go back, prepare ten bolts of the best silk, five jars of 'Taixu Longjing', and the pair of blue and white Longevity Ruyi bottles. We will visit the Sultan of Tunisia in the afternoon."

"As you order, Your Highness." The old eunuch said in a sharp voice.

Valentina looked at the old man with a face full of wrinkles, with great interest.

There were also eunuchs in the courts of the Mulholland monarchs.It's just that these eunuchs have always been served by foreigners whose physical characteristics are greatly different from their own.Even some eunuchs are not humans at all, but races like orcs and elves.

The reason is that Mulhollan's medical skills are not advanced enough to achieve complete castration, and some eunuchs can retain their reproductive ability after entering the palace.

In case there are some plots in the harem that can only be found in the little yellow book of the tauren, those lonely concubines and eunuchs of different races gave birth to children, and the cuckolded monarch can also see it at a glance.

This kind of helpless anti-green method does not exist in the Seris court.

This indirectly shows that the level of medicine in the Far East is still more advanced than that of Mulholland World and Europe.

Valentina smiled slightly at the bean knowledge she discovered, and was going to record it in the "Seres Experience Record" she was creating.

Princess Yongfu got what she wanted during this visit.After she left a can of tea as a thank you gift, she was about to say goodbye and leave.

Before parting, Valentina gave her another piece of advice: "Your Highness, General Zhao under your command has been behaving strangely recently, and I suspect that he has succumbed to the temptation of the evil god of corruption. You'd better Pay attention, lest he cause unnecessary trouble."

"General Zhao? You mean Zhao Guangming, the commander?" Princess Yongfu showed a "sure enough" expression.She said: "Just in time, Niu Qianhu and Ma Qianhu reported to me the abnormality of Zhao Qian's incident to me yesterday. They said that he has been depressed recently, his concentration has been distracted, and his face has turned pale. Zhao Guangming often comes to Tunisia to have fun in Tunisia when he is resting." , I think he has worked hard all the way, and it is inevitable to be lonely in a foreign country, so I did not interfere with the private life of my subordinates. However, if his abnormality is not just a simple excessive indulgence, but is corroded by the power of a corrupt evil god..."

In Princess Yongfu's almond eyes, a killing intent flashed red like a flame.

The major civilizations in this world are all facing the threat of the four evil gods, and the previous Chinese dynasties in the east are no exception.

The nomadic tribes in the northern wilderness who believe in the evil god of war and disaster; the plague and severe disease that will resurface from time to time like wildfire; under the control of the evil god of disaster, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River often flood; fight……

The seemingly majestic Celestial Empire in the eyes of outsiders has never been less threatened and challenged.

In the eyes of Princess Yongfu, among the four evil gods, the one that threatens Daming the most is undoubtedly the evil god of corruption.

Wars, plagues, disasters, these problems, as long as the empire is still strong, as long as the empire's ruling structure is still healthy, as long as the empire's elites are still forging ahead, it will not be difficult to solve.But if the spirit of the empire is depraved and the bones are corroded, then the skin and flesh wrapped outside will rot sooner or later.

In fact, during the seventh voyage with the eunuch Sanbao, Princess Yongfu had already seen a bad sign in the majestic and majestic Forbidden City.

"Thank you for your reminder, Miss Valentina." Princess Yongfu nodded in gratitude, and then left with the old eunuch.

The convoy returned to the fortress named "New Carthage" by Aziz II.When passing through the east gate, Princess Yongfu found a commotion outside the fortress.

"Wang Gonggong, please go and have a look."

The old eunuch took orders and left quickly.About 10 minutes later, he brought a young man from the Maghreb to meet Her Royal Highness.

"The villain is Jafar Sassi. I have met Her Royal Highness Princess Siris. May the true God bless you with good luck and peace." The young man said in a somewhat unfamiliar Chinese.

"You can actually speak Daming's language?" Princess Yongfu looked at him curiously.

The young man was about twenty years old, thin, torn, and obviously had not lived a decent life for a long time.However, his eyes are very bright, and he has an aura that is completely different from that of the people at the bottom of the muddle.

"I learned from the Seris warrior who guarded the city gate," Jafar said.

Not long ago, after witnessing his father Usman being killed by Sipasi cavalry, Jafar endured grief and returned to the cave to tell his family the news.

In the evening, when the Ottomans were "checking out the traitors" in the city of Jazhail, the family went to collect Usman's body and buried it on the mountain.

Afterwards, Jafar did not dare to return to Jazair.Keeping in mind his father's warning to "stay away from all wars", he fled all the way east and finally came to Tunisia.

It's just that he never expected that the flames of war spread much faster than his family's fleeing feet. In the blink of an eye, the city of Tunisia was about to be exposed to the crusaders.It's just that Jafar didn't bother to think about the threat of war at this time. The urgent problem he faced was the water, food, and shelter necessary to sustain life.

The Crusaders coalition composed of Germany, Italy, and Aragon made rapid progress after landing in Tripoli, attacking cities and territories all the way to the surrounding areas, naturally accompanied by burning, killing and looting.

Many ordinary Mulholland people fled their homes in fear of the butcher's knives of the Europeans.A considerable part of them chose to come to the capital, Tunisia.

It's just that the Sultan of Tunisia was already battered by the lack of defensive forces in the city, so how could he let these refugees into the city?He listened to the "ingenious plan" of a court favorite, and drove the refugees to the fort where the Ming army was stationed.

The "New Carthage" fortress was built on the basis of ancient Roman ruins.Nearby is the former site of Carthage, and there are many ruined walls that can provide basic shelter from wind and sand.
