"He...."Xiucai was stunned.

"He's not really stupid, is he?"

For the Song people, whether it is the study of saints, or the gods and monsters, whether it is the gods and Buddhas, or the Taishang Laojun, they can't explain the strange scene in front of them at all.

Just, that's it...... Just like that?

......

But seeing Vera over there, she looked at the utensils in Tang Yi's hands with reverent eyes, put her palms in front of her chest, and bowed deeply.

"What His Highness holds in his hand is a sacred weapon of the Arabs, a symbol of the power of the caliphate, a relic of the Prophet..."

"Every Arab must respect the choice of the sacrily."

......

Everyone was stupid and completely ignorant of the almost paranoid piety of the Arabs.

"Tsk...."

Cao Lao Er was stunned for a long time, Fang smashed his mouth, and muttered in a low voice to prevent Vera from hearing: "Superstition is terrible!" ”

Xiucai pouted on the side, "You know a fart, that's called faith." ”

......

————————

Anyway, the Fatimid Dynasty was taken over by the Great Song Dynasty.

And Zhao Zhen, who was thousands of miles away, became a descendant of the prophet and a caliph of the Arabs.

The old emperor himself wondered, the gods of the people...... The surname of the descendant is Zhao ...... Does anyone really believe it?

......

Hehe, you can't believe it.

Tang Yi's next move was even more excessive, in order to make people believe, he sent the prophetic relics inherited by the caliphate back to the Great Song Dynasty.

Not only did Caliph Zhao Zhen suddenly become an authentic Arab, but Kaifeng in the Great Song Dynasty suddenly became the fourth holy city in Arabia, and all Arabs began to yearn for Kaifeng and began to want to go to Kaifeng for pilgrimage.

......

————————

Meanwhile.

When the Shah Sultan of the Seljuk Dynasty heard the news that the Fatimid Dynasty had changed hands and the caliph Zhao Zhen had ascended the throne, he did not say a word for a long time.

"Can anyone tell me, where did this Zhao Zhen pop up??"

The bearded general was embarrassed, "According to verification, this Zhao Zhen is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"Then how did he become a saint of the East? How did you become the caliphate of Fatima?! ”

This one...... The bearded general couldn't answer either.

In the original Shah's vision, it was difficult for the Great Song Expeditionary Force to pass the Mamluk Praetorian Guard, but ......

They just got over it, and it went very quickly and smoothly.

"That's it!" Shah thought about it.

"I think those Song people should have little interest in the Holy City, and without the battle for Fatima, it saves a lot of trouble."

"Your Majesty!"

The bearded man apparently disagreed with the Sultan's statement, and reminded lightly: "Their destination is Rome." ”

"Rome!?" Shah was shocked, and he immediately understood the meaning of the bearded man's words.

The Great Song army was going to attack Rome by land on the Red Sea, which Shah was convinced of.

However, there was only one way to get to Rome by land, and that was from the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea, and the Holy City was the only place to go.

"So, we're helping the Romans get ahead?"

"It's not a bad thing." The bearded man said lightly. "As long as we defend the holy city, even in Damascus, and stop the Great Song army, then the sultans of the Arab world will definitely be on our side."

"Isn't this a good opportunity to unify Arabia?"

"Good! Good way! Shah suddenly realized.

What the bearded man said this time is right, although the Great Song Dynasty took over Fatima in the name of the caliph, they are outsiders after all, and not everyone in the Arab world recognizes this caliph.

There could never have been a better opportunity to bring the sultanates together under his command.

"That's it!!"

"In my name, call on the Sultans of the kingdoms to fight the devils of the East in Damascus!"

......

————————

It's a pity that Shah, the unlucky ghost, miscalculated again this time.

Is the Holy City the way to go?

Not to mention that Tang Yi didn't plan to take the land route, even if he planned to take the land route, he would rather swim to the other side of the Mediterranean Sea than take Damascus or any holy city.

Others don't know, but he knows best, there is thunder all the way, whoever touches whom, Tang Yi doesn't have the heart to get involved in the entanglement of the three sects.

He only cares about three things now:

First, repair the river;

second, drooling at the towering pyramids and the Sphinx;

Thirdly, drooling at the sight of 30,000 Mamluk cavalry.

Needless to say, in the original plan, the 60,000 Yazhou Army was the main force of repairing the river.

Now it's simple, the whole of Egypt is the Great Song Dynasty, and Tang Yi can mobilize a large number of slaves and people to dredge the Suez Road as a temporary leader.

This waterway is shorter than the Suez Canal in later generations, only more than 100 kilometers, and it has the bottom of the old river, and it takes not too long to blow it all the way through with explosives.

As for those Arab slaves and the poor, Tang Yi was much more merciful than the original Fatimid Caliphate.

He paid his wages, and as in the Great Song Dynasty, labor was harvest. And promised that after the canal was built, all the slaves would be free, and all the toiling people would be given a way to live.

This is also one of the main reasons why the Great Song Dynasty can quickly gain military and civilian support in Egypt and gain a firm foothold.

The nobles all let Nong Jisi serve it in a pot, and now Tang Yi is the only nobleman in Egypt...... Say it!

And the people are actually very simple, as long as you don't trample on their faith and give them a way to live, at any time and in any place, the people will not care which ruler gives them orders.

......

Article 2.

Well, although Tang Yi once drew a big pie for Jia Changchao and encircled the whole world within the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

However, one day, he really stood under the pyramid and really watched the Sphinx tower, and these great miracles belonged to the Great Song Dynasty......

It's a really good feeling.

Article 3.

Not to mention, Mamluk! It's back to Lao Tzu......

You wake up laughing just thinking about it!!

Tang Yi even wondered with a bad taste, in this period, what other types of troops are a little more bullish? It was incorporated and turned the Yazhou battalion into a multinational force.

......

————————

In short, in the days that followed, Tang Yi was magically idle, just waiting for the canal to be repaired and the fleet to Rome.

The only problem now is Song Kai's safety, he is afraid that the Romans will tear up the ticket if they can't wait, which Tang Yi has to consider.

After thinking about it again, Tang Yi called Vera to the Nile.

Vera was a little strange, what did she bring him to the river for?

"Your Highness came to me..."

After staying with the Song people for a long time, Vera's Chinese dialect is becoming more and more standard, but it is no longer like when he first met Song Kai and Qi Xuefeng, he always brought the word "Ma".

The next moment, Tang Yi gave an answer, pointing to the ten Arab sailing ships on the river.

"It's yours."

Vera was puzzled, "Your Highness, ...... this?" ”

Tang Yi smiled lightly, "On the ship are silk and porcelain from the Great Song Dynasty, which were specially transported from Suez by land to be loaded here." ”

"Take these things, and you can go back to your hometown, to your holy city."

"It's, it's too much!!" Vera was terrified.

There were ten boats, and the Romans only needed ten boats to blackmail them to death, but they didn't expect this king of the Great Song Dynasty to send ten boats as soon as they sent them.

I saw Tang Yi slowly shaking his head, "It's not much at all....."

"My brother's life, ten boatloads of things can't be exchanged. You can go to Da Song to send me a letter, just this point, these ten boats of Song goods will be worth the cost! ”

What's more, along the way, Vera purchased supplies, acted as a translator, and also had his credit for the surprise attack on Cairo, so there were really not many ten ships.

......

Unexpectedly, Vera said: "Song Langzhong and Qi Palm Envoy rescued me from the West Saxoons, this kindness will be touched even by Allah, Vera is just repaying the favor." ”

"You don't need to reciprocate your kindness."

......

Tang Yi nodded with satisfaction, "You are an Arab businessman who values affection. ”

"Don't worry, you won't be allowed to take these things in vain, help me do one last thing."

"Your Highness, please speak!"

"Please go to Rome on your way back, and tell the robbers that if my brother is all right, then all is well."

"If my brother dies in Rome....."

Tang Yi didn't say the following words directly, but it was not difficult to see from Tang Yi's extremely cold tone that this madman must not give up.

"Okay, I'll go!"

Vera finally agreed, "But after I get back from Rome, will I be able to stay here?" ”

Tang Yi sneered, "Of course you can!" Why don't you go back to your hometown, though? Not going back to your holy city? ”

Vera said helplessly, "Now that the Holy City is in the hands of the Seljuks, how can a traitor like me dare to return to their territory?" ”

"I'm sorry!" Tang Yi said admittedly. "I'm sorry for you."

"Not worth mentioning." Vera is much more open-minded. "None of this is worth mentioning in return for the favor."

"That's fine." Tang Yi followed him. "You're back, just in time to help me do something."

"Don't worry, Da Song doesn't treat his own people badly."

"Your own people?" Vera wondered. "So, am I already a Song person?"

With Tang Yi and the Li and Nong people of the Yazhou Army for so long, Vera can always hear the word "Song people" in their mouths.

That sense of belonging, a sense of pride, that Vera did not feel even in the Dome of the Rock in the Holy City.

He was curious, what was it like to be a Song person?

Tang Yi smiled, "If you want, you are a Song person." ”

......

————————

Vera departed and went to Rome with ten shiploads of Song goods.

What Tang Yi didn't know was that he thought that Vera would sell the ten ships of Song goods. But Vera had no such intention at all, he wanted to take these ten boatloads of treasure to redeem his benefactor!

Unfortunately, Vera underestimated the greed of the Romans...... This time, there has been no news for half a year.

Just when Tang Yi was puzzled why Vera said that he wanted to come back, but he did not return for half a year, that is, eight months after taking Egypt, a Flying Fish clipper docked in Suez.

......

On the boat, a long-bearded old man came down, and after going ashore, he looked around, looking at the dilapidated "fishing village" and not only smiled bitterly, "Tang madman, pit the old man!" This is the territory you have conquered? ”

Looking at it, the yellow sand is long, how can it be a little good? If it weren't for his son, he wouldn't have come to this place if he was killed!

If Tang Yi is here, he must complain:

"Song Zhuangyuan, Your Majesty sent you to be the emperor of the soil, don't complain about this kind of good thing, right?"

......
