    In a castle in Colombo, southwest of Ceylon, Adal is enjoying his wonderful life.

    He was the city lord of the Persians on the Island of Ceylon. His ancestors came to the Island of Ceylon to sell gems, spices, etc., and finally settled down slowly on the Island of Ceylon.

    As more and more Persians came to Ceylon, they finally established this Lion City here.

    With the Lion City as the center, the Persians also occupied a piece of land on the Island of Ceylon. However, the Persians and Middle Easterners who came to the Island of Ceylon were mainly merchants, mainly coming to the Island of Ceylon to sell gems and spices.

    However, in the past two years, with the arrival of the Ming Dynasty Merchant Ship, they also began to do some resale transactions.

    They sold myrrh, frankincense, ivory, coral, pearls, etc. from Africa to the Ming Dynasty, and then sold the Ming Dynasty silk, porcelain, glass products, cloth, and sugar to the Middle East, Persia, and Tianzhu.

    ¡°Just relying on such a simple transit trade, the Persians here on the island of Ceylon made a lot of money and became rich quickly.

    Compared with the gradual selling of gems and spices in the past, the profits of transit trade are really too great.

    The silk, porcelain, glass products and sugar brought by the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty are very popular in the Middle East and Persia, and the profit is more than ten times. One trip back and forth to Persia and Ceylon, the profit is astonishingly high, almost  Driven by tenfold or hundreds of times profits, more and more Persian merchants came to Ceylon.

    This made Adal, the lord of the Lion City, more and more comfortable in his childhood. Just collecting taxes in the Lion City made him consider establishing a Persian empire on the island of Ceylon.

    ¡°The hateful Portuguese actually blocked the Persian Gulf, sank our merchant ships, and wanted to monopolize India¡¯s spice trade.¡±

    Adal's face showed anger. He had just received news that the Portuguese who had recently arrived in Calicut, India, were very arrogant. They not only attacked and occupied Calicut, but also began to blockade the Persian Gulf and expel Middle Eastern and Persian merchants.  , intending to monopolize the spice trade in India.

    ?This is tantamount to huge bad news for merchants in Persia and the Middle East.

    They have been making a lot of money from this business route.

    The spices here in India are very cheap, but as long as they can be transported to the Mediterranean and sold to Venetian merchants, the price can immediately increase several times.

    Now the Portuguese appeared here and expelled them very tyrannically, sank their merchant ships, blocked the Persian Gulf, and sent ships to patrol the routes.

    This is tantamount to cutting off their financial resources.

    The spice trade is not yet the most important. Now with the emergence of the Ming Dynasty and the trade with the Eastern Ming Dynasty, silk, tea, porcelain, glass products and sugar from the East have slowly replaced spices and become the most popular.  Trade goods.

    ¡° Now that the Portuguese have done this and cut you in the middle, let alone getting rich, you will have to risk being sunk by the Portuguese if you want to return to Persia in the future.

    ¡°Damn, greedy Portuguese~¡±

    "I curse you to hell!"

    Thinking of this, Adal couldn't help but cursed.

    Originally, he had already planned that as long as this development continued for two years, after tens of thousands of people migrated from Persia, he would establish his own kingdom on the island of Ceylon.

    But now, everything seems to be like a dream.

    "If the Portuguese do this, let alone establish their own kingdom, their financial resources will be cut off in the future.

    Adal couldn't help but stroke his beautiful beard. He swore on his beard that he would teach these Portuguese a lesson and let them know how powerful he was as a Persian.

    Just thinking of the Portuguese warships made him tremble slightly.

    The Persian merchants who had just arrived in Ceylon knew that the Portuguese warships were very terrifying and the artillery was very fierce. Perhaps only the Ming Dynasty could defeat these Portuguese.

    "Something bad is going to happen, something going bad is going to happen!"

    At this moment, someone hurriedly walked in, and they started shouting anxiously before they arrived.

    A'dal was touching his beard. When he heard the words of the visitor, he couldn't help but tremble. When he pulled his hand, several strands of his carefully tended beard were torn off.

    "Something better happen, otherwise I will kill you to honor my noble beard."

    Ada immediately became angry and quickly looked at a full-length mirror, looking carefully, feeling extremely distressed.

    &Not even a wave of attacks could be blocked, they were quickly killed and those captured became prisoners.

    The warships of the Ming Dynasty are still bombarding continuously, and the roaring shells make people change their colors.

It seems that the Persians really did not blame them.

    The walls of this small Lion City are very short and not strong. How could it withstand the attack of the Ming Dynasty.

    "Let everyone prepare for battle, pass on the order, everyone come to the city to fight, and must hold it."

    Adal was also panicked. At this moment, he very much hoped that the people coming to attack were the Portuguese. At least the Portuguese were small in number, and they still hoped to be able to block their attack.

    But there are too many Ming people in front of us.

    Hundreds of large ships and a steady stream of people began to land. The Lion City was soon surrounded by them. With the thousands of Persians in the Lion City, what could they do to resist the attack of the Ming Dynasty?

    But even if they can't stop them, they still have to resist. They can't just surrender. Once the Ming people attack, who knows whether the Ming people will kill them all.

    At this moment, he finally understood how scary the people of Ming Dynasty were. The people of Ming Dynasty were definitely not as gentle and gentle as he had seen before. They also had a cruel and terrifying side.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
