As for where to find Muslim soldiers, this is easy to do. You don’t even need to go to the northwest to find horses. At this time, those guys are all wild and untamable raw humans. Why not use them in Shandong and Hebei areas where they are mature humans?
, For example, most of Zuo Guogui’s old troops were demobilized after the Sino-Japanese War of 1884-1894. It was a time when food and clothing were scarce, so it was not a problem to recruit a division from these familiar troops.
With the pitiful strength of the millions of Arabs who were still divided into a bunch of small countries at this time, one division was enough to conquer the entire peninsula. As for the generals, it was simple. They found a group of cronies from their subordinates, converted them to Islam, and then conquered Kuwait.
Build a very large mosque as a place of worship for them, find a few imams or even imams from China to host it, and let Hamid II come to the mosque to pray in person as Caliph if there is a chance.
If so, it would be basically perfect.
Military assistance to His Majesty the Emperor is simpler. Just take a brigade from the country and let the landing ships be sent over. Anyway, Hamid II has to pay a commission. By the way, let them harm the little European girls. Greek girls are very good.
It's coveted, and if you strengthen the Ottoman Empire, it might create some trouble for the Russians. Although this country is already in bad shape, didn't it also make the British disgraced during World War I?
In addition, there should be something worth grabbing on the island of Crete, right? After all, it is also an important birthplace of ancient Greek civilization. What about Minos or Minocchio?
At this time, Prince Yang suddenly had a thought in his mind. There seemed to be something worth taking advantage of on this island. The Minoan Palace had not been excavated yet. He went back to find a few archaeologists to follow the army. When the time comes, he would first
Excavate this palace, and then smuggle the most valuable items back to China, and leave the rags to the Cretan people to build a museum or something for future generations to worship. It seems that it will be a good idea to dig up tombs all over the world in the future.
In terms of business, although Beauty Avatar has fished out more than 3,000 tons of gold from underwater over the years, and piled up mountains of jewelry, who would have too much of this kind of thing?
Tutankhamun's tomb has not been dug out yet, but it is best not to take the risk, it is a curse. Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is not worth risking your life for that little thing. One day I will go to India.
It would be great if the treasures hidden in the temple were dug out, but it is a pity that the place is in the hands of the British. Prince Yang found that he seemed to have missed a big deal. Next time he goes back, he will mark the locations of these treasures from all over the world, so that he can grab them later.
The place was excavated for it, euphemistically called it archeology. I don’t know what kind of archeology it is to put Egyptian cultural relics in the British Museum.
With endless longing for archaeological work, Prince Yang left his territory and went to Basra to inspect the newly built office building of Imperial Oil here. Although he never asked about the specific operation of this company, it was still tied for first place.
Major shareholder.
At present, this oil company has become the overlord of the world's oil industry. The only one that can rival it is estimated to be Rockefeller. In addition to the Masjid Suleiman oil field in Persia, it also discovered oil fields in Kirkuk, the Ottoman Empire.
A second large oil field was built and oil production has now begun. Of course, this is also the result of the technical support provided by Yang Pasha.
Nowadays, these two oil fields have attracted the salivation of countries including Germany, France, Russia and Italy, and countless oil exploration teams have gone to the Ottoman Empire to drill wells all over the world. Although nothing has been found so far, it has made Hamid II a small fortune.
Otherwise, he would not have the money to order those two armored cruisers from Sweden.
After leaving Basra, the Nautilus left the Persian Gulf, took the Suez Canal, entered the Mediterranean Sea, and arrived at Rome. This ship was purely here to feel the grief and indignation permeating the streets of Rome. The Italian government had humiliatedly accepted Menelik II’s request for peace talks.
This is a smart nigger. He knows that if he continues to fight, he will force the Italians to fight for his life. In this case, it is better to actively ask for peace talks on the premise of winning. Even so, Italy has become a shame to Europe.
Even ordinary people can't raise their heads when they see people from countries like Britain and Germany.
When Prince Yang met with the Pope of the Vatican in Rome and also met with King Umberto I of Italy and Prime Minister Antonio Marquis of Stabala, he was wearing a Tagalog in a thatched hut in the Balintawak Mountains outside Manila.
Bonifa Xiu, in national costume, held a crowbar in his hand as if frantically, prying open the wooden boxes at his feet, and displayed the latest weapons inside that reflected industrial civilization in front of the surrounding Katipunan members.
"Look what this is? The latest Mauser rifles, even the Spaniards don't have them, the latest automatic pistols, grenades, the latest mortars, these are all ours. Since we have the best weapons,
We have the bravest warriors, so what are we waiting for? Let out the roar of our freedom, blow the horn of our independence, shoot our bullets of revenge, and let the invaders who have ravaged us for hundreds of years use their blood to
Pay for their sins!" He casually picked up a rifle that the Zhongyong Army had captured from the Qing army and raised it above his head, roaring with an excited flush on his face.
Thousands of Katipunan members beside him cheered and swarmed forward, like vicious dogs snatching bones, carving up these weapons as quickly as possible. Then Bonifashow took out his symbol of allegiance to the Spanish.
The head tax certificate was torn to pieces in front of everyone, and he still shouted loudly on the ground: "Long live the independence of the Philippines!"
Amidst the fanatical roars, the monkeys took out their tax certificates, tore them up, threw them away, and trampled them in the soil, as if they were trampling Spanish colonists under their feet. At this moment, they suddenly heard a sound in the distance.
There was a gunshot everywhere, and everyone's expressions suddenly changed. In fact, the reason why they are here today is because they were betrayed by traitors. The entire Katipunan organization in Manila was cracked by the Spaniards, so they had to panic.
Those who escaped from the city, needless to say, the sound of gunshots also indicated the arrival of the search team.
Bonifaxiu looked at the revolutionary patriots in front of him, raised his rifle again and shouted: "The enemy is already here, what should we do?"
"Fight, use bullets to teach them a lesson!" His good partner Jacinto roared in cooperation. The monkeys' enthusiasm was suddenly aroused. In the chaotic clamor, they didn't even have time to familiarize themselves with the use of weapons.
He rushed towards the direction of the gunfire.
Lieutenant Manuel Rosse was leading his gendarmerie team as they walked irritably on the muddy ground. A group of monkeys who were preparing to rebel were hiding in the mountains only a few kilometers away from Manila. His mission was to
Pulling these guys out and hanging them was his favorite job, especially after a friend of his’s whole family was killed by monkeys a few days ago. When he thought of Isabella’s naked and mutilated body,
He had the urge to hang all these monkeys and burn them to death.
He had already killed one just now. Although that person was not necessarily a rebel, as their ruler, did he need a reason to kill a monkey?
What he didn't know was that at this time, the rifle in the hand of another monkey was aimed at his head. Masangkai was a staunch revolutionary, but his hands were still trembling at this time, although he attributed it to his own hands.
This was the latest rifle that had never been used before, but he had to admit in his heart that shooting at the white people who had ruled them for three hundred years gave him a natural sense of fear.
The distance between the Spaniards was getting closer, and the policeman at the front walked into the stream between them. Masangkai closed his eyes, and his father, who was beaten to death by the Spaniards because he could not pay taxes, appeared in front of him.
, when he opened his eyes again, his gaze was extremely firm, and he pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Lieutenant Rosse, who was walking, suddenly felt as if something had rubbed his face, and then a burning pain was transmitted to his brain. A sudden gunshot sounded in front, followed by countless chaotic gunshots.
.
"Damn, there's an ambush!" He fell to the ground subconsciously, covering his cheek scratched by the bullet with his hand, pulled out his pistol and fired forward while roaring. The policemen under him dispersed as quickly as possible, using the help of
The trees covered the ground and fired forward. At this moment, a monkey suddenly jumped out from the trees in front. Rossai raised his hand and fired without thinking. The moment the monkey fell, a black shadow flew out of his hand, and then
It hit exactly in front of him. After seeing clearly what it was, Lieutenant Rosse was so frightened that he almost fainted. It was a wooden handle grenade.
Fortunately, he didn't pull the fuse, and he didn't even unscrew the cover. Although Bonifaxiu had taught his subordinates before, it was impossible to expect the monkeys who were participating in the battle for the first time not to make such mistakes!
Thanking God for blessing, Lieutenant Rosse grabbed the grenade, unscrewed the wooden cover as quickly as possible, pulled the fuse, and threw it at the location where the gunfire was the loudest. When the grenade exploded, the two monkeys screamed and flew away.
came out, but his performance also reminded the monkeys, and then smoking grenades were smashed over, and exploding fireballs rose up in the woods. The police who were still calmly shooting at the monkeys
They couldn't stand it anymore. They were not afraid of gun battles. There were at least hundreds of rifles on the opposite side. But so far, except for the unlucky lieutenant who took a bullet, no one had been hit. But grenades were different.
The explosion caused death and injuries within several meters of the surrounding area. The policemen who were not equipped with such equipment dared to fight and started to retreat while shooting.
At this moment, the city of Manila was alerted by the sound of gunfire and explosions. A large number of Spanish troops were quickly dispatched, including cavalry, to reinforce Balintawak.
