Lin Afeng, who Chen Mu wanted to find, was actually not far from him.

Or that Lin Afeng's subordinates are not far from him.

In the summer of the sixth year of Wanli, the capital of the Han Kingdom established by Lin Feng was destroyed by the Safi War, and in the same year, Lin Feng's status as the king of the Han Dynasty was canonized by the eunuch Zhang Whale Daitian, an envoy sent by the Wanli Emperor, officially recognized the existence of the Han State as a vassal of the Ming Dynasty in the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean.

The place of canonization is Madagascar.

As for the kingdom that existed in the form of a tribe on the island, it seemed that it was not in the consideration of the little eunuch Zhang Whale, who was frightened by Lin Feng's posture.

The little eunuchs in the palace who are the emperor's cronies are not people who have never seen the world, regardless of the military eunuchs or the Beiyang Army, he has seen a lot, but he is a serious soldier, not to mention that as the emperor's cronies and eunuchs, he will not have much fear of ordinary soldiers.

But Lin Feng's troops are different, the Han State is most like a soldier, a legion is directly under Lin Feng's Yang Ce Department, but Yang Ce's troops are on the west coast of Africa, and he is greeted by all serious pirates, these people are all evil in the Daming coast, everyone looks at Zhang Whale like they are looking at a harmless little animal, except for Lin Feng, who cares about his life or death?

And Lin Feng felt that he had lost face, and when he caught up with the canonization of the Son of Heaven, he lost the capital, said that he would not let Zhang Whale go, and forcibly dragged the emperor's cronies and eunuchs to serve him as a prison in the Arabian Sea.

In fact, Lin Feng didn't leave Zhang Whale all to spread his ambition or let Emperor Wanli see how powerful he was, Lin Feng knew very well in his heart, even if the country established by him, the leader of the wild pirates, was not as good as the Western Military Mansion of the Ming Dynasty's own son.

Da Ming won't give him much support, it would be good if he didn't attack the Han Kingdom.

His real intention in leaving Zhang Whale was to hold the two families in one hand, and on the other hand, under the guise of Zhang Whale and Emperor Wanli, let the Western fleet rampant in the Arabian Sea make way for him; On the other hand, he used the 'momentum' that could mobilize the Western fleet to consolidate his precarious position within the Han Kingdom.

Although the kings respected Lin Feng and did not stop at rebelling against him, the remaining kings were not optimistic about retaking the capital and going to war with Persia.

In Lin Feng's view, this is the crisis.

A single pirate king can raid all directions, but no one has the ability to rule the sea or even take food from the nations, and only when they get together can they bare their teeth at the overlord of the sea.

Earlier, Lin Feng had the idea of fighting a big battle against the Ottomans or Safavids, and at that time the kings thought he was insane, but Lin Feng firmly believed that they needed to fight.

He said: "What is the point of always robbing at sea, the merchant knows that this trade route is not safe and will no longer sail from here, and will starve to death in the future, and it is the right way to set up cards and levy taxes at the various outlets of other countries." ”

But the cost of achieving this goal is too high, and they must go to war with the overlord of this sea and win the war in order to force other countries to accept their taxes.

The most difficult thing is not to defeat others at sea and burn a few cities on land, but to the kings of the Han Kingdom, the most difficult thing is how to sail to the Ottoman or Persian coastline within the sphere of influence of the Western military government.

Yin Zhengmao can make these pirate kings angry to death, and if the flying shark ship is discovered by the Western Fleet at sea, it will be immediately expelled by artillery bombardment - it can't be hit, so it can only turn around and leave.

Once the Western fleet was defeated, the supply of the Han State was completely cut off, not to mention that it could not defeat the wealthy Yin Zhengmao.

This made the kings of the Han Kingdom, including Lin Feng, very concerned about the physical condition of Old Man Yin, and to their disappointment, Yin Zhengmao seemed to be free of illness and disaster.

The secret agent of the Han State in Goa reported that Yin Zhengmao, the minister of the West, was sixty-five years old, and he was constantly patting horses and dancing knives in the courtyard in the early morning before dawn to exercise.

Danwang Li Mao said well: "I just want to be rich for a while, and after robbing the North Arabian Sea, I will wash my hands in a golden basin, and the money is enough to spend ten lifetimes, what do I do in the future?" ”

So Lin Feng didn't care how angry he was at Safi Persia for destroying the Western Great City, in fact, in his heart he was very grateful to Persia, and destroying the Western Great City gave him the possibility of uniting the kings to start a war against Persia.

Lin Feng's strategy is extremely clear, he slashed Madagascar with the first sword, and used various excuses to soothe and attack in a summer, control all the northern tribal kingdoms of the big island, collect gold and silver, coal and lead, mica, gems, and graphite, and sell them to Ming Dynasty merchants from Goa, training native soldiers, repairing soldiers, and building flying sharks on the island, ready to do a big job.

At the same time, he sent people to the east to contact Yin Zhengmao to purchase weapons, ships and cannons; On the other hand, he sent people to the west to recruit Yang Ce to lead the army back.

Of course, he also blackmailed the Ottoman for a sum of money, this year the Osman tore up the contract signed with Safi twenty-three years ago, repaired the city of Kars, and sent a large army into northern Georgia controlled by Safi Persia, Lin Feng naturally would not miss this opportunity, and informed the Sultan through the envoy of the Western military government in Ottoman that his people could contain Persia in the south, and the two sides hit it off.

However, Lin Feng was not honest, after the Ottoman commission was delivered, he did not attack, but watched the war situation until winter was ready.

His warships had already been built, and the destruction of Xidacheng did not cause much loss to his men and ships, in fact, whether Lin Feng was ready or not depended on whether the Persian forces were assembled to the north, and also on whether the Ottoman offensive was as fierce as fire.

Lin Feng treats Persia very righteously, after all, Zhang Whale is present, he wants to watch the emperor get by, the procedure is very in place, as soon as he heard that there are two troops in the south of Persia dispatched to the north, he immediately sent a message to the Persian coast, telling them that I am going to fight you, this has nothing to do with the Ming Western Military Government, Lao Tzu is the king of Han, this war is to retaliate for you for destroying my capital.

The transferred army came back again, and Lin Feng did not move.

In October, Lin Feng still didn't move.

In November, Lin Feng still did not move.

At the end of November, the returning army was half gone.

In December, Lin Feng mobilized a large army, sent more than 400 flying shark warships and fortune ships, and gathered more than 8,000 troops, including Yang Cebu, to pounce on the southern coast of Safi Persia, and quickly annihilated its scattered patrol fleet scattered on the sea according to the speed advantage of the flying shark, followed by a direct attack on the important town harbor with the fleet.

In the naval battle against the Portuguese and the Safi Persian fleet, Lin Afeng used 200 barrels of Sichuan fire obtained from the Ottomans to turn the enemy's water village into a sea of fire.

Immediately after, the pirates stormed the northern land, blasting through the desert towns that had not been guarded by artillery, and achieving a glorious victory.

After plundering the town and driving away all the people, Lin Feng, who was blocked by the desert, lost the ability to continue the attack and **, he burned the coastal towns to the ground with an eye for an eye.

I haven't forgotten to set up a stele stone on the coast to commemorate my merit.
