Mr. Philip thinks too much.

Between the vast Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea, there is really a Han State, and they are related to the Ming Dynasty, but they have nothing to do with Chen Mu.

The Han Kingdom had its own unique form of government, several kings jointly ruled and jointly controlled the army, and the highest-ranking general in the army was called the admiral, with 7,000 soldiers, and under his command there were commanders, thousands of households, hundreds of households, general banners, and small banners, and the military also served as the local chief.

Some officers also served as tribal chiefs in countries on the east coast of Africa.

The country's main income is not to pay taxes to the people, but to plunder the fleets of other countries, the method of war is like the Mongols on the sea, gathering is the fire of the prairie is full of stars, and is good at using a small fleet as bait to lead the enemy fleet into an ambush circle, and divide the troops to fight quickly and quickly.

But diplomatically, it was not only the Spaniards and Portuguese who hated the Han state, but also the Ottoman Empire, which sheltered all faiths and colors to fight against infidels under the Crescent Moon, the Turkic Safavid dynasty, which inherited the Persian heritage, and the Mughal Empire, which was founded by the Turkic Mongols.

Even if the Han State didn't have the ability to threaten their huge state, they just didn't like it.

Hey, isn't that a coincidence? Yin Zhengmao also doesn't like this Han country.

The Western minister of the Ming Empire even publicly stated at the banquet in Goa to entertain envoys from various countries: "The old man has suppressed the pirates for the country all his life, and he said that they have no voice, it turns out that they have fled here - and dare to tear the soil and claim the king!" ”

The world environment is too exciting for Lin Afeng!

As soon as the Portuguese fleet had been repulsed, Li Mao, the king of the Han kingdom who managed the north, reported that the Ottomans and the Arab tribes were building ports and shipyards on the Arabian coast to mobilize Moorish pirates to conquer them; The four kings set fire to the Ottoman harbor, and the Ming merchants, who were buying goods in the east, brought the information that Yin Zhengmao, the minister of the West, was raising troops to beg for thieves.

To tell the truth, Yin Zhengmao couldn't bear it, it turned out that Lin Feng and others were pirates who made waves in the Daming Sea, and they split the land overseas, and they didn't attack the Ming fleet, didn't plunder the Ming merchants, and respected the Ming Son as Zhengshuo from afar, at first he had a good impression of these people.

Although he had a bad record of defrauding the Lion Kingdom of jewels and sacking Goa, Arakan and other places, Yin Zhengmao compared himself to adults and did not care about them.

But the problem is that these people have been making trouble for the Western Fleet.

Foreigners can't recognize which is the Han Kingdom and which is the Ming Kingdom, the sky and the sun and the moon can be seen, and the Western Minister Yin Zhengmao has always wanted to convince people with virtue.

Just last year, his generals Zhang Yuanxun and Qi Jimei led two detachments to escort Shang Jia back and forth in the Persian Gulf, and when they returned from Kuwait City and passed through Bahrain, when their former military fleet wanted to dock in Bahrain, the Portuguese fleet that had been waiting here for a long time was immediately killed, and the former military fleet held out until the arrival of the main fleet at the cost of two 400-material battle ships sinking and one 400-material gunboat being seriously injured.

Later, the Portuguese and Ottomans lost Bahrain, a pearl-rich island.

Portugal's overseas power was weak and the local could not provide sufficient support, and once the local governors could not overwhelm the local forces, they would choose to integrate appropriately into the local area, a strategy such as the Portuguese in Macao, the Portuguese in Burma, and the Portuguese in Bahrain also tried to move closer to the Ottomans.

But it's all just a strategy, not really close.

However, the situation was different after the Han State cut off the southern African route, and all the governors and dioceses, including Goa, did not receive the slightest support from their own countries, and this integration became a reality.

For example, the Portuguese who occupied Bahrain still paid pearls as a tax to the Ottoman Empire in exchange for proper protection, and in some cases, they would also accompany the Ottoman fleet to attack the Arab kingdoms.

People were usually less narrow-minded when they were rich and powerful, as was the case with the Ottoman Empire in this era, which could ally with France, send emissaries to the Ming Dynasty, and accept a group of pagans from Portugal.

It's actually very interesting, because although Christendom and the Middle East have been fighting for hundreds of years, the two sides have always had extensive diplomatic and commercial ties in various ways, and even wars cannot stop them.

The Ottomans, on the other hand, had been bringing in European talents during the long war, and their religious strategy was not to intervene and to maintain the status quo, and the methods of the Catholic state were extremely crude and incompetent compared to the imperial Ottomans.

The loss of Bahrain almost led to a state of hostility between the Western military government and the Ottoman Empire, but what was the result?

The Portuguese in Bahrain saw the Ming warships approaching from afar, they thought it was the plundering fleet of the Han State, and they decided to strike first, and later at sea were burned by Zhang Yuanxun's gunboats and fireships and sank 31 large and small ships, the Portuguese army and its Arab troops fled back to land, and were beaten by Qi Jimei's Zhedong bird gunners equipped with Nanyang guns.

In the end, things were handled well, Yin Zhengmao did not want to go to war with a behemoth like the Ottomans, and the Ottoman merchants in the port of Bahrain were also worried about the defeat of the Portuguese.

The Western Military Government received land from Bahrain as compensation for the loss of the fleet, and the Ottoman Empire purchased 300 barrels of 'Sichuan Fierce Fire' from the Western Military Government in the second year of the incident, which is now the sixth year of Wanli, and the two sides only acted as if this had not happened.

The so-called Sichuan fierce fire is the naphtha distilled from the oil extraction by the Sichuan Chengxuan Political Division and the Banzhou Xuanwei Division, the name oil is not Chen Muqi, it is Shen Kuoqi who wrote "Mengxi Pen Talk" in the Song Dynasty, and it is unknown who the first Sichuan people to cook with natural gas are, but Shen Kuo called on more people to use natural gas to cook.

The Ottomans also had weapons similar to the fierce fire oil tank, which also used an air pump mechanism to ignite, and was the only weapon for naval warfare, but they found that the fire oil from the Ming Dynasty seemed to burn more violently, so they selectively imported some of them.

But this is not the first time that the Western military government has been attacked because of the Han state's misdeeds.

The Western Military Government has been wiping Lin Feng's buttocks, no one is happy to do too much, no one can wipe others' buttocks all the time, but Yin Zhengmao failed to start his expedition after all.

In October of the sixth year of Wanli, the Wanli Emperor sent several people from Beijing, and these Jinyi guards and eunuchs read the order from the Forbidden City to the Western ministers with letters and canonization edicts.

"Your Majesty actually wants to canonize four pirates!"

Even if Yin Zhengmao is unhappy, he must not go against the will of the emperor, if he is at home, he may still argue, but in the overseas feudal officials, they do not enjoy the freedom of speech like the ministers of the country, this reason Yin Zhengmao is very clear.

Helpless, the Western military government died down, and had to pinch its nose and assign warships to go to several small islands in the Han Kingdom to find Lin Afeng's traces, how annoying is this?
