Chapter 578
The expansion of Alexandria began almost immediately. As soon as the welcome ceremony began, it was over, and as long as a man with long legs could walk, he was all pulled to work on the construction site.
People who were singing and dancing in the morning began to work shirtless in the hot Egyptian weather in the afternoon. Because I didn't get used to it for a while, there were quite a lot of people suffering from heat stroke. The only way for the killers to deal with heat stroke is to lie down in the shade.
Since there is shade to lie down, there will be people who are lazy. The killers still have a way, as long as they are pierced by an awl and do not move. They are considered unconscious, as long as they jump up at once. Throwing your hand is a knife!
The sticky blood and the bloody human heads irritated all the laborers, and when the number of heads reached ten, no one was lazy anymore.
Li Yifu took his head and assured Yun Hao that he could dig through the canal in three months. The credibility of the guarantee of the human cat is still relatively high, so Yun Hao must complete the expansion of Alexandria within three months.
After exiting the canal, Alexandria is the best natural harbour. Yun Hao wants to build Alexandria into a forward supply base! Because in the Middle East, there is no better place than Alexandria.
Capture Jerusalem, Jordan, Sinai, Cairo, Alexandria! All this is so that Datang can effectively control this canal. No one in the world knows better than Yun Hao what this canal means to the world.
As long as you grasp this canal, there is also the Strait Castle. Datang can almost control the seas and control world trade. It is stupid to control the world by force, and the best way to control the world is actually the economy.
Yun Hao is actually not smart, but he has more than 2,000 years of knowledge than others. In the age of the explosion of counseling, ideas of all kinds spread at the speed of a plague. The Internet, paper media, and WeChat, which is afraid that the world will not be chaotic. Let people's insight have a qualitative leap.
The vastness of the ocean is beyond Datang's control, and even if Datang develops for a few hundred years, it will not be possible to completely control the ocean. It is possible to control a few nodes on the ocean, but it can be done. The canal and the Strait Castle are the key nodes on the sea.
The silver dollar of the Tang Dynasty and the copper dollar, gold coins have become the basic currency of world trade. If the Tang Dynasty controls the seas, from Europe to the Asian continent. Therefore, all the nations will be subjugated to the feet of the Tang Dynasty, because their fragile handicraft industry cannot compete with the primary industrialization of the Tang Dynasty.
And their country's resources will become the best raw materials for Datang's industrial products. Datang can buy their resources at an extremely low price. Because, the pricing power is firmly in the hands of Datang.
In the future, Datang needs to develop, and oil is not available. The most abundant place in the world is the Middle East. For the sake of the interests of Datang, there can be no strong **** country in the Middle East. For the sake of Datang's interests, Yun Hao needs a chaotic Middle East. A Middle East full of religious contradictions, ethnic contradictions, and various social contradictions.
A large number of small countries, because of these contradictions, are hostile to each other and kill each other! In the chaotic Middle East, a war that will be difficult to reconcile for a thousand years will break out. This is in the interests of Datang, and only such a powerful Datang will always become the master here.
Of course, it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to send heavy troops to occupy the Sinai Peninsula and Cairo. Datang needs to support some puppets in the Canal Zone, as long as Datang can firmly control these puppets.
Puppets are easy to find, for example, this dark-haired guy in front of you is a good puppet. Especially the six-pointed star on his clothes, which made Yun Hao a little excited.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency the Duke of Tang Kingdom, I submit to you as a descendant of King David. Surrender to the mighty emperor behind your back, and allow me to kiss your boots. "Arthur's Tang Mandarin is very slippery, if it weren't for the curly hair, as well as the brown eyes and hooked nose, Yun Hao would have thought that this thing was from Guanzhong.
"It is because you are a descendant of King David that I have received you. Say, what do you want. Yun Hao took a sip of grape wine, and I have to say that the grape wine in this part of the Middle East is really fucking authentic. I heard that it was shipped from as far away as Gaul, and that place seems to be called Bordeaux!
"Your Excellency! We, the Jewish people, have been driven out of our homeland since millennia ago. Today, the sons and daughters of King David are living in various parts of the world. I beseech you, Your Excellency, if you can set aside a place where the poor Jews can live. The descendants of King David will be forever grateful and loyal to the mighty kingdom behind you. ”
After Arthur finished speaking, he knelt at Yun Hao's feet and kissed Yun Hao's boots.
Yun Hao can certainly take Arthur's words as a fart, everyone knows the virtues of the Jewish people. However, I also have to admire the Jewish people, who have been attacked and persecuted countless times in Europe for thousands of years. Even a large-scale purge like the Führer's still failed to bring the nation to extinction.
Since it is an existence comparable to Xiaoqiang, it is natural to survive in the Middle East, a land full of struggles. Yun Hao believed this very much, and in this regard, the Arabs were far from being the opponents of the Jews.
"I can give you a piece of land, for you are the sons of King David. Just as good as our Tang people! Yun Hao gave Arthur a smile that was kind to the extreme, and reached out to help Arthur, who was covered in sweat.
Unexpectedly, the sweat glands of the Jews were also so developed, Yun Hao took a step back without a trace and covered his nose.
"Oh, thank you, Your Great Duke. You are simply a benefactor to the entire Jewish nation! I didn't expect Yun Hao to agree so happily, Arthur almost went crazy. Kneel down and kiss Yunha's boots, that's not a kiss at all, it's just kneeling and licking.
Yun Hao had no choice but to withdraw his feet, although he had been in the top position for a long time, he had really never enjoyed such treatment.
"Arthur! You can gather your Jewish brothers, and I can grant you a piece of land on the east bank of the Jordan River. The north goes all the way to Lebanon, and the east ......! ”
Arthur raised his head at once, and the Jews behind him all raised their heads. Everyone held their breath and listened to the words of the Duke of the Tang Dynasty. Because this remark involves the belonging of Jesus Salem, Jerusalem is nothing in Yunhao's eyes. But in the hearts of Jews, Christians, and ***, it has a decisive significance.
"Jerusalem can be given to you to administer on your behalf, remember. Whose hands are in Jerusalem requires the consent of the Tang Emperor. You should understand that. Yun Hao hesitated for a while before he said to Arthur.
"Your Excellency the Great Duke, you are the benefactor of the entire Jewish nation. We will serve you with all our might, and we will dedicate you the most beautiful virgins, the most precious stones, and the purest gold.
Belch......! And your Imperial Majesty! Seeing Yun Hao's frown, Arthur immediately added.
Yun Hao's brows furrowed, that's right! It is a bad habit to eat alone, and the great wise and wise His Majesty Li Er must not forget it. Because this guy is a mean and careful eye in his bones.
"Go, gather together your sons of King David. Go to the East Bank and build your own kingdom! The name of the country ......! For the sake of respect for King David, it is better to call it Israel. Yun Hao smiled and waved his hand, turned around and left here. It's so good about these Jews. Yun Hao was very worried that he would be smoked and vomited if he stayed.
Arthur's actions were fast, but in just a month. Having recruited tens of thousands of Jews from Italy, Yun Hao was shocked by this efficiency. He didn't expect them to gather more than 10,000 people so quickly. Are they really God's chosen people, as they say?
Later, when I inquired, I found out that it was not the case at all. The reason for this was that the kings and nobles of Gaul owed a lot of usury to the Jews. I owe too much, and I've reached the point where I can't afford to pay the interest.
The king of Gaul was forced by his creditors to have no tricks, so he made a trick. Kill the creditor, and it's a hundred. There is a car in front and a rut in the back, and seeing the Gallic king, it is easy to ask for a debt crisis. The kings of Europe, large and small, all showed their abilities. The purpose is very unified, and the debts are not repaid! Anyway, Lao Tzu has a sword and a soldier in his hand, what can you do.
The helpless European Jews had no choice but to buy off the pirates of Sicily. Temporarily living in Sicily, Arthur came to Yunhao. It is because the Jewish nation has really reached the point of life and death. If they could not find a way out, the Jews would have to wander around again in pieces. The fire of restoration, which had burned in the hearts of the Jews for thousands of years, could only be extinguished temporarily.
Unexpectedly, the prince of the distant Tang Dynasty agreed to Zionism so easily. This was great news for the Jews, who were afraid that Yun Hao would repent, and rushed from Sicily as fast as they could.
Until this time, Yun Hao didn't know. It turned out that at this time, Jews were already using encrypted letterheads, using carrier pigeons to deliver messages. It has to be said that this is a smart people.
Soon, the blue King David flag fluttered on the east bank of the Jordan River. The Sultan of Lebanon just watched for a moment, and was immediately attacked by Yu Chi Baolin. Everyone in the Middle East understands that this newly born Israel is covered by the Tang Dynasty.
"Arthur! The army of the Tang Dynasty cannot always help you, you need to help yourself. I will issue weapons to you, and whether or not you can keep the Wailing Wall depends on whether you have enough courage and determination.
It is not so easy to restore the country, you Jews need to pay with your blood and even your life. I can give you land, but it is ultimately your duty to defend it. Got it? Yun Hao sat on a high throne as if he were a king. The entire Senate of Israel was prostrate in front of Yun Hao.
"We understand, Your Excellency the Duke. Rest assured, that the Jews did not lack the determination to die in vain. As long as we are given enough weapons, the Jews will surely keep the land you have given us.
Trust me, sir! Our ancestors once conquered this land, and so can we! Arthur said firmly.
"Weapons, you go to Yu Chi Baolin, I believe you have obtained the formula for gunpowder. It's no secret these days! Just get the gunpowder yourself! Go ahead! ”
"No!" Arthur Tang weighed the promise like a man, and walked out backwards. It seems that this guy must have been in Datang for a long time.
Li Yifu did not break his promise, and when there were still two days left. He sent someone to inform Yun Hao that the canal had been dug through. It only takes Yun Hao's order to open the gate and release water.
Yun Hao immediately took an airship and rushed to the canal construction site.
The construction site was lined with laborers sitting in the shade of trees, and the scorching sun of the Middle East turned everyone here into black. Including those Tang people who came to supervise the work, Li Yifu walked up to Yun Hao and smiled with his big white teeth. This product is estimated to be the whitest now.
In just one and a half years of life in the Middle East, a beautiful boy in Chang'an City has turned into a black African.
Li Zhi patted Li Yifu's shoulder very distressedly, he was well taken care of. In the army, Li Zhi's treatment was second only to Yun Hao, and he either stayed in the palace in Cairo or in the carriage all day long. Under the scorching sun, this thing was covered as white as a big girl. That's it, Li Zhi is still boasting in his letter to Li Er. Since the Western Expedition, a battle has not been lost!
For safety, Yun Hao and Li Zhi both got on the airship and watched this historic moment in the air.
"Open the gates!" Li Yifu's order seemed to erupt from his chest.
At his command, more than two dozen Rhinos were driven to pull the locks together. The bright waterline gushes out like a water dragon. Mixed with an astonishing amount of sediment, it washed into the dug river.
The galloping water dragon let out a loud roar, and the sound Yun Hao sounded even more shocking on the airship. It's like thousands of male lions, roaring at the same time.
It was a historic moment, and it meant that the waterways of Europe and Asia were now more accessible. The ships of the Tang Dynasty could go directly to rich Italy through this canal. Datang's goods can also bypass the Middle East and land directly in Europe.
Of course, the army of the Tang Dynasty can also pass. But Yun Hao didn't want to do this because he heard bad news. Yusuf, exhausted, was trying to negotiate with the caliph. The reason for their negotiations is very simple, because the whole *** world is outraged.
The pagans came to the land of the Middle East, and they entered Jerusalem. Under the mediation of the respected Imam, they are going to wage a holy war against the Jews. If the Tang people dare to stop it, then even the Tang people will clean it up.
The Holy Land will never be touched by heretics!
Religious fervor swept the Middle East in just two months. All the sultans unite, the whole world unites.
