    Cairo, Egypt.

    For the arrival of Tong Yuan, the special envoy of the Ming Empire, the Mamluk Kingdom of Egypt paid great attention to it and gave Tong Yuan the highest standard of ceremonial reception.

    The broad main road in Cairo was crowded with people, and armies maintained order on both sides. Kansu II personally led the nobles and ministers of the dynasty to the outside of the city to welcome the arrival of the Ming envoy.

    The welcoming team was very large, stretching for more than ten miles, surrounded by flowers and pulled by elephants, which made Tong Yuan and his party a little flattered.

    But soon, Tong Yuan was sitting upright, wearing a crimson robe. The official robe was square and square, and his eyes were bright. He must not lose the face of Ming Dynasty at this time.

    At this moment, he already represents the face of the Ming Dynasty, because he is the first official to officially visit the Ming Dynasty.

    Kansu II received such a high standard of reception, naturally because the relationship between the Mamluk Kingdom and the Ming Empire was quite good.

    Because of the Ottoman Empire, the Ming Dynasty and the Mamluk Kingdom had a good relationship and cooperation from the beginning. After everyone saw the invincible power of the Ming Dynasty, the Mamluk Kingdom did not dare to show any disrespect to the Ming Dynasty.

    Secondly, the biggest enemy of the Mamluk Kingdom, the Ottoman Empire, has been eyeing the land of Egypt. On the Arabian Peninsula, the Ottoman Empire has a large army stationed and is always trying to attack this important transportation area.

    Therefore, Ming Dynasty¡¯s thighs must be firmly hugged. If Ming Dynasty is hugged tightly, the Mamluk Kingdom will be more confident when facing the Ottoman Empire. Just look at the current Persian Empire.

    Originally being pushed to the ground by the Ottoman Empire, the Persian Empire began to reverse the trend after purchasing a batch of arms and weapons from the Ming Dynasty, and there was a faint tendency to suppress the Ottoman Empire and beat it.

    Facing the powerful Ottoman Empire, the Mamluk Kingdom actually also intends to purchase a batch of advanced arms and weapons from the Ming Empire to enhance its strength.

    This time is just an opportunity.

    In the luxurious palace, Kansu II warmly received Tong Yuan.

    After some polite exchanges and pleasantries, the two parties began to talk about serious matters.

    The matter of cooperating with the Ming Dynasty people to dig the canal has now spread in Egypt, and the whole of Egypt already knows about it.

    So at this moment, not only Kansu II was present, but also all the nobles and ministers from the Mamluk Kingdom of Egypt were present.

    "What is the opinion of His Majesty the Ming Emperor on the excavation of the canal?"

    Kansu II was still very young, and he was also a hard-working and enterprising king. However, at this time, the Mamluk Kingdom had begun to gradually weaken. The decadent feudal nobles controlled the power of the dynasty and land annexation became increasingly serious. Peasants  Land was taken away and heavy taxes were imposed.

    At the same time, water conservancy and irrigation were gradually neglected, agricultural production declined sharply, farmers continued to resist by fleeing, and peasant uprisings also occurred one after another.

    Because of the decline of agriculture, the dynasty attached great importance to commerce and relied more on commerce. It implemented a policy of monopoly on certain commodities and forced big businessmen to purchase specialized goods at high prices. Industry and commerce were also hit.

    There are external threats from the Ottoman Empire, numerous internal conflicts, and constant worries. All of these are constantly testing the young Kansu II. This is why he cooperates with the Ming Dynasty to dig the canal.

    The excavation of the canal can not only establish a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty, purchase arms and weapons from the Ming Empire, and strengthen itself, but also the excavation of the canal can bring a large number of jobs and opportunities to Egypt. At the same time, after the canal is dug, it will promote Egypt's  business, and the tolls collected can greatly ease the dynasty's finances.

    Kansu II attaches great importance to this matter.

    However, the key now depends on what the Ming Dynasty people want, because the Mamluk Kingdom itself does not have the financial resources and manpower to dig the canal, and must rely on the capital, technology and manpower of the Ming Dynasty.

    ¡°Our emperor of tomorrow is very supportive of digging the Egyptian canal, so he specially sent me to discuss this matter with your country.¡±

    Tong Yuan replied with a smile.

    "That's good~"

    When Kansu II heard this, he also breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

    As long as Daming is willing to participate, it will be easy to say.

    As long as the Egyptian canal is excavated, Egypt will have an extra talisman. The Ming Empire will never see its huge investment go to waste. If the Ottoman Empire dares to attack Egypt, the Ming Dynasty will definitely intervene.

    This is like covering Egypt withbsp; "Let me just say, how in the world could such a good thing happen to us? This Ming Dynasty is not a good person."

    "They must have taken a fancy to Egypt and wanted to find an opportunity to annex us."

    ?Some people followed and kept making noises.

    Kansu II's face became extremely ugly. He looked at Duer. This old guy was really good at making excuses. In fact, he was just afraid that after he accomplished this, his prestige would soar and he would take the opportunity to take back his power.  .

    On the surface, it looks like it¡¯s about whether to dig a canal with the Ming people, but it¡¯s actually about the internal power struggle in Egypt.

    Kansu II is well aware of this, and of course everyone with a discerning eye knows this.

    In fact, Doerr did not want to oppose the digging of the canal, but to retain the power in his hands.

    Once the canal is excavated, it will bring benefits to all parties. Egypt, which was originally suffering from internal and external troubles, is very likely to get rid of this situation. The young Kansu II can use this to increase his prestige and take back many powers. By that time, Durr will inevitably  Not having a good life.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
