At the residence of the Ming Dynasty Ambassador to Egypt, Sun Ke tasted red wine from France, tasted Spanish acorn ham, and took a bite of Swiss mountain cheese. It was a very comfortable life.
Two Eastern European slave girls were squeezing Sun Ke's legs, and two English slave girls were fanning her.
Everything is good here in Egypt, but it is too hot. This is very uncomfortable for Sun Ke, who grew up in the cool northern Zhili. Therefore, for a large part of the day, Sun Ke lies down and sleeps leisurely, while the slaves around him
They take turns fanning Sun Ke.
"This acorn ham is really good, and the cheese and red wine are also great."
Tasting the delicious food, Sun Ke couldn't help but nod his head. This little life was still very nourishing.
"Sir, the ministers of Kansu II are here again, asking if the news has been reported to the emperor?"
At this time, his official came in and asked.
"Tell them that our great emperor already knows about it and says that they need to think about it and discuss it carefully."
Without thinking about it, Sun Ke said directly.
Wait, wait slowly.
Anyway, the arms and weapons of the Ming Empire will not be given to Egypt until the end, just to make you anxious and let you clearly see your true situation.
"You still want to take back the other ordinary Egyptian canals, and you don't care how much you are worth. If our Ming Dynasty hadn't paid for the construction of this canal, would you still be able to dig out silver from the sand now?"
"If you don't want to repay our Ming Dynasty's kindness, forget it. You still want to cross the river and burn the bridge, and you don't even look at whether your arms are as hairy as our Ming Dynasty."
Sun Ke took a bite of acorn ham, drank a sip of red wine, and then started humming a ditty.
In the Egyptian Royal Palace.
After Kansu II received the news, he was no longer angry or angry, but calmed down.
Think about it carefully.
The Ming Empire has always had a good relationship with Egypt. When it comes to purchasing arms and weapons, the Ming Dynasty is very enthusiastic. The terms are very loose and they can give you a loan if you don't have money.
But this time, why is it so abnormal?
This Ming man was dragging his feet, as if he was deliberately targeting himself and dragging himself down.
"What exactly is going on?"
Kansu II thought carefully.
"Your Majesty, this Ming Dynasty is really unreliable and procrastinates in doing things. We can't rely on the weapons and weapons of the Ming Dynasty. We must find a way to stop the Ottoman Empire's army ourselves."
"There is news from the Persian Empire, saying that they have purchased a large number of arms and weapons from the Ming Empire and are arming a new elite army. I hope that we can cooperate together to re-attack the Mesopotamia."
Seeing Kansu II walking around thinking, his ministers also said quickly.
"Did the Persians just buy arms and weapons?"
When Kansu II heard this, he immediately asked.
"Yes, they have already purchased arms and weapons. Their purchase of arms and weapons from the Ming Dynasty went very smoothly. In just a few days, the Ming Dynasty people transported the arms and weapons from Nanyun Province to Tabriz."
"And it was a loan to the Persians."
The ministers under his command quickly replied.
"Ask the Persians why we are so slow to purchase arms and weapons, and the Ming people have changed their previous attitude."
Kansu II immediately frowned.
Now I can be sure that this is definitely the people of Ming Dynasty who are deliberately embarrassing themselves.
This is not some other problem, but it is very likely that the people of Ming Dynasty will feel unhappy on their own side.
Not only did they sell arms and weapons to the Ottoman Empire, but they also deliberately refused to sell arms and weapons to themselves, which suddenly caused a huge change in the situation in the Middle East.
Soon, the Persians gave a reply.
"This is a deliberate delay by the Ming people. The efficiency of the Ming people is very high. It only takes less than an hour for them to send telegrams and news back to the Ming country. Moreover, the Ming people have arms and weapons in many places and can send them at any time.
It can be shipped to Egypt."
"It must have been Egypt that did something to make the Ming people angry?"
After receiving the reply from Persia, Kansu II frowned deeply.
"Is it because some of us are clamoring to take back half of the ownership of the Egyptian canal?"
"Or is it that our Egypt has touched other interests of the Ming people?"
Kansu II was thinking hard, and the first thing he thought about was the Egyptian canal.
There are a lot of people in Egypt clamoring to take back the Egyptian canal, and I am a little confused. I feel that Egypt is very powerful, and it is indeed possible to do things without having to look at the faces of the Ming Dynasty.
Now it seems that I am indeed too arrogant.
I didn't understand the reality clearly, and I couldn't even figure out how many pounds I had.
"The great emperor!"
"The co-lord of the three continents!"
"The latest news just came from the front line. The Ottoman Empire has launched an attack on our Jordanian region. We cannot resist it at all and can only retreat to the Sinai Peninsula."
While Kansu II was thinking, another minister hurriedly came to report the latest frontline news.
It can't be stopped anymore. It really won't be able to stop the Ottoman Empire's army.
Without a strong musketeer force, relying on traditional cold weapon cavalry and infantry, how could it be the opponent of the Ottoman Empire's army? What's more, the Ottoman Empire still has powerful and elite musketeers in its hands.
"Come here~"
"Arrest all Mohammed, Ahmed, Aissaham, and Walid immediately and sentence them to death!"
Kansu II thought for a long time, gritted his teeth, opened his eyes and said.
Everyone was shocked when they heard Kansu II's words.
"The great emperor!"
"why is that?"
"Why?"
When Mohammed, Ahmed and others heard this, they were frightened to death, and then they immediately asked.
"Why?"
"Of course it's because you people are preaching every day that the other half of the canal back to Egypt is ownership, and you are bragging here every day about how powerful Egypt is."
"This has seriously damaged the friendly relations and exchanges between Egypt and Ming Dynasty, resulting in today's situation."
Kansu II looked at several people and said, these four people are the most dancing and the most flattering, and they are also the main ministers who are clamoring to take back the ownership of the other half of the Egyptian canal.
If we kill them now, of course we will show them to the people of Ming Dynasty.
After hearing Kansu II's words, all the ministers suddenly realized what was going on.
It turns out that it was because of this incident that the people of Ming Dynasty were offended.
"We were wronged, we were wronged~"
Several people kept struggling, but it was of no use. Soldiers soon dragged them out and then had their heads chopped off.
Kansu II chopped off the heads of several people, and sent people to invite Sun Ke again, and then explained some things to Sun Ke in detail.
He said that he was bewitched by villains and traitors, and almost did something that harmed the Ming Empire.
He also said that the relationship between Egypt and the Ming Dynasty has been friendly for generations, and the Egyptian canal is the best witness. He said that Egypt will never forget the friendship between the Ming Dynasty and Egypt.
Half of this Egyptian canal will always belong to the Ming Empire. Egypt will keep this in mind at all times and let the Egyptian canal bear witness to the friendly exchanges and relations between Egypt and the Ming Empire.
"Well, I finally understand my situation and how much I weigh."
After listening to what Kansu II said, Sun Ke nodded with satisfaction.
"Egypt has always been an important friend of our Ming Empire. We in Ming Dynasty also hope that the two sides can always be friendly and live in harmony from generation to generation."
Sun Ke spoke on behalf of Ming Dynasty.
"Ambassador Sun, what about arms and weapons?"
Seeing that Sun Ke finally relented, Kansu II also asked quickly.
"There is nothing wrong with the arms and weapons, but our Ming Dynasty will not provide you with any loans."
"If you have money, come and buy it. You can buy as many arms and weapons as you have money."
Sun Ke nodded and replied.
“Can’t get a loan?”
When Kansu II heard this, he suddenly became sad.
There has been a war in Egypt, and it is a multi-front war, which consumes a lot of money.
Although the benefits of the Egyptian canal are very high, and Egypt also has geographical advantages, being located in a land of three continents, it has natural advantages in doing trade and has made a lot of money.
But it can't stand the constant fighting and consumption. There is actually not much money left in the national treasury.
They all hope that Ming Dynasty will give them loans to purchase arms and weapons.
"Yes, our Ming Empire's loans are not given easily. We have to see whether the other party is worth it, otherwise our Ming fleet will not be able to patrol the Red Sea."
Sun Ke nodded and said.
"I understand, thank you Ambassador Sun."
"We will raise money as soon as possible, and also ask your country to transport the arms and weapons we need as soon as possible, so as not to waste time."
Kansu II opened his eyes slightly, and now he understood a lot of things. It turned out that it was not just about the Egyptian canal, but also about the Red Sea. Only then did he remember that his subordinates had reported that there was something wrong with the Navy.
Preventing the Ming fleet from patrolling the Red Sea.
"Well~ we will transport the arms and weapons as soon as possible. If you give us money, we will give you the arms and weapons. Our relationship is limited to this!"
