Mr. Philip was thinking too much.

Between the vast Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea, there is really a Han country. They are related to the Ming Dynasty, but have nothing to do with Chen Mu.

The Han Kingdom had its own unique political system. Several kings jointly ruled and jointly controlled the army. The general with the highest official position in the army was called the admiral, with seven thousand military ships. He had commanders, thousands of households, hundreds of households, general flags, small flags, and military positions were also the local leaders.

Some officers also served as tribal chiefs in countries on the east coast of Africa.

The main income of the country is not the taxes of the people, but the plunder of fleets from other countries. The tactics are like the Mongols on the sea. They gather in the sky and the fire is scattered. They are good at using a small number of fleets as bait to introduce enemy fleets into the ambush circle, and divide the troops and fight quickly.

But in diplomacy, not only the Spanish and Portuguese hated the Han Dynasty, but also protected the Ottoman Empire, which had various beliefs and colors to fight the pagans under the Crescent Banner, the Safi Dynasty, the Turkic Safi Dynasty, which inherited Persian heritage, and the Mughal Empire established by the Turkic Mongols did not like them.

Even though the Han Dynasty did not threaten the capabilities of their huge country, it just didn't like it.

Hey, isn’t this a coincidence? Yin Zhengmao doesn’t like this Han country either.

The Atlantic Minister of the Ming Empire even publicly stated at a banquet where the envoys from various countries in Goa: "I have suppressed pirates and bandits for the country for my whole life, and I have said why they have lost their voices? It turns out that they dare to break up the soil and become king after they fled here!"

The world environment is too exciting for Lin Afeng!

Just as he repelled the fleet gathered by the Portuguese, Li Mao, the King of Dan, who was in charge of the north of the Han Dynasty, came to Li Mao, who built a port and shipyard on the Arab coast to mobilize Moorish pirates to conquer them; the four kings all set up a fire to burn the Ottoman harbor, and the Ming merchants who bought goods in the east brought information that the Western Minister Yin Zhengmao raised troops to fight against the thieves.

To be honest, Yin Zhengmao could not bear it anymore. Originally, Lin Feng and others were pirates who were making waves in the sea of ​​the Ming Dynasty. It would be fine if they split the land overseas. In the end, they would not attack the Ming fleet, plunder the Ming merchants, and respect the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty as the truth. At first, he had a good impression of these people.

Although Yin Zhengmao cheated out of the Lion Kingdom jewelry and ransacked the bad deeds of Goa, Alagan and other places, he compared himself to his elders and did not care about them.

But the problem is that these people have been causing trouble for the Western fleet.

Foreigners cannot recognize which one is the Han country or which one is the Ming country. The sky is sun and the moon can be seen. Western minister Yin Zhengmao has always wanted to conquer people with virtue.

Just last year, his general Zhang Yuanxun and Qi Jimei led two squadrons to escort merchants to and from the Persian Gulf. When they returned from Kuwait City to pass by Bahrain, when their former military fleet wanted to dock Bahrain, the Portuguese fleet that occupied this place for a long time immediately broke out. The former military fleet sank at two 400-foot warships, and a 400-foot warship gunship was seriously injured until the main fleet arrived.

Later, Portugal and Ottoman lost Bahrain, a pearl-rich island.

Due to the weak national strength, the local government cannot provide sufficient support. Once the governors in various places cannot defeat the local area, they will choose to properly integrate into the local area. This strategy, such as the Portuguese in Macau, the Portuguese in Myanmar, and the Portuguese in Bahrain also tried to move closer to the Ottomans.

But this is just a strategy, not really getting closer.

But the situation was different after the Han Dynasty cut off the southern African route. All the governors, including Goa, and the diocese, did not receive any support from their own country, so this integration became true.

For example, the Portuguese who occupied Bahrain paid pearls as taxes to the Ottoman Empire in exchange for proper protection. Sometimes, they would also attack the Arab tribes with the Ottoman fleet.

People are usually not so narrow when they are rich and powerful. This is the case with the Ottoman Empire in this era. It can alliance with France, send envoys to the Ming Dynasty, and can also accept affiliation from a group of infidels from Portugal.

In fact, this matter is very interesting. Although the Christian world and the Middle East have been so crazy that they have been out of the blue for hundreds of years, the two sides have always had extensive diplomatic and commercial ties, and even war cannot stop it.

The Ottomans have been introducing European talents in the long war. The religious strategy they implemented was to not interfere and maintain the status quo. Compared with the Ottomans with imperial style, the methods of the Catholic countries were extremely rude and incompetent.

Losing Bahrain almost led to a hostility between the Western Military Palace and the Ottoman Empire. What was going on?

The Portuguese in Bahrain saw the Ming warship approaching from a distance. They thought it was the Han plundering fleet. In the panic, they decided to take the initiative. Later, they were burned and sunk thirty-one large and small ships at sea by Zhang Yuanxun's gunboat and fire ships. The Portuguese army and their Arab troops fled back to the land and were beaten up by the bird gunman from east Zhejiang who was equipped with Nanyang to build cannons.

The matter was handled well in the end. Yin Zhengmao did not want to go to war with a behemoth like the Ottomans, and the Ottoman merchants at the port of Bahrain were also scared of the Portuguese failure.

The Western Military Palace received land in Bahrain as compensation for fleet losses. The Ottoman Empire purchased 300 barrels of "Sichuan Fire" from the Western Military Palace in the second year of the incident, which is now in the sixth year of Wanli. Both sides only thought that this incident had never happened.

The so-called Sichuan fire was a naphtha distilled from Sichuan Chengxuan Zhengshi and Bozhou Xuanweishi. The name oil was not Chen Muqi, but Shen Kuoqi, who wrote "Mengxi Bitan" in the Song Dynasty. It is unknown who was the Sichuan people who first used natural gas to cook, but Shen Kuo called on more people to cook with natural gas.

The Ottoman also has weapons similar to the turbulent oil cabinet. They also use the air pump mechanism to make fire. They are the only weapon for maritime combat. However, they found that the turbulent oil from the Ming Dynasty seemed to burn more violently, so they selectively imported some.

But this is not the first time that the Western Military Palace has been attacked because of the unreasonable actions of the Han Dynasty.

The Western Military Palace has been wiping Lin Feng's butt. No one is happy if he does too much. No one can always wipe others' butts, but Yin Zhengmao was unable to start his expedition in the end.

In October of the sixth year of Wanli, Emperor Wanli sent several people from Beijing. These Jinyiwei and eunuchs carried letters and enthronements to read orders from the Forbidden City to Western ministers.

"Your Majesty actually wants to enthrone four pirates!"

Even if Yin Zhengmao is not happy, he should not go against the emperor's will. If he is in China, he may still argue, but the magistrates who are in the overseas border do not enjoy freedom in words like ministers in the country. Yin Zhengmao is very clear about this principle.
