- On the vast Indian Ocean, dozens of large ships sailed on the sea, their sails were swollen by the wind, and the flags of the Ming Empire and the Ming Empire Army were hung high on the masts.
A knowledgeable person will immediately know at a glance that this is a unit belonging to the Ming Army.
On the boat stood rows of Ming soldiers wearing military uniforms. They were all tall, straight-looking, with firm eyes and a trace of pride.
They are the Ming Army, a powerful army that spans the world. They punched the grassland people, kicked the South Sea monkeys, slaughtered the Ottoman Empire, and taught the European pirates a lesson. Wherever their flags went, they were all Han people, spreading the glory of the Ming Dynasty. , spreading the five thousand years of Chinese civilization and fire.
This time, there are 20,000 Ming soldiers on dozens of large ships in front of them. They will go to the Red Sea area and be responsible for protecting the interests of the Ming Empire in this area.
Twenty thousand army soldiers, plus five thousand navy soldiers, equipped with twenty warships, will form the Ming Red Navy and the Ming Red Sea Fleet.
They will become the most powerful force in the Ming Dynasty in this region!
"How long will it take to reach the Red Sea area?"
Mao Lun looked at the endless sea with a telescope and seemed a little irritable. After more than three months of sailing from Tianjin, he was already eager to reach the Red Sea area as soon as possible. The days at sea were really too hard. It¡¯s harder than training every day.
"General, according to the voyage calculation, we only need two days to reach the Red Sea area."
Beside Mao Lun, his adjutant Yang Zhen quickly replied.
"There are two days left~"
Mao Lun nodded slightly, finally reaching the Red Sea.
"Get a map of the Red Sea area."
After thinking about it, Mao Lun ordered again. Soon a soldier took out a map of the Red Sea area, and Mao Lun looked at it carefully.
"Yang Zhen, where do you think it is more appropriate to set up our military base?"
Mao Lun looked at the map and thought deeply.
"General, I believe that the choke point between the southwestern tip of the Arabian Peninsula and Africa, connecting the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and the Indian Ocean, is the most suitable."
¡°We only need to set up a military base here. Our army can go north to enter the Arabian Peninsula or Egypt at any time, and go south to support various vassal states and colonies in East Africa at any time.¡±
"Our navy only needs to block this choke point to control this important route."
Yang Zhen drew a circle on the map and said.
"Hmm~"
Mao Lun nodded in agreement. This time when he came to the Red Sea, his mission was to establish a military base and military port. At the same time, he was responsible for protecting Ming's interests in the Red Sea, the Middle East, and East Africa.
The choice of this military base is very critical.
"Is there any news from Jinyiwei?"
After thinking for a while, Mao Lun asked again.
"When we stayed in Ningguo last time, Jin Yiwei had already given us detailed information about this area."
"According to Jin Yiwei's information, this area has a tropical desert climate, with hot temperatures all year round, scanty precipitation, and few rivers around. Only this place called Djibouti has sufficient water sources. At the same time, the geographical location is very important, and There are also excellent ports that can meet our needs in all aspects of establishing a military base."
Yang Zhen once again circled a small place on the map.
"Djibouti?"
"Which country does it belong to now?"
Mao Lun looked at the place Djibouti on the map. The geographical location is indeed very good. It just depends on the natural conditions of this place.
However, Jinyiwei's information has always been very accurate. Today's Jinyiwei is divided into two parts. One part is mainly responsible for monitoring domestic officials and various places as before, and the other part is mainly for the collection and analysis of overseas intelligence to assist the Ming army in Overseas operations.
With its excellent intelligence capabilities, it has repeatedly made great contributions in the Ming Dynasty's external expansion wars, transmitting intelligence from all over the world to the Ming army very accurately.
"Djibouti now belongs to the Adal Sultanate~"
"The current Adal Sultanate is not a friendly country to us Ming people, especially since our Ming Dynasty vassal state Chu required all people in Chu to convert to Buddhism, the Adal Sultanate has been Attack the Chu State, and let the pirates and thieves in the country rob the merchant ships passing by our Ming Dynasty."
¡°?It was very comfortable.
He prays every day that more Ming ships will arrive here so that he can have more income.
As usual, after getting up every day, he would habitually look at the sea, hoping to see the silhouette of the ship sailing towards the Djibouti Port.
"So many boats~"
This time, he couldn't help but wipe his eyes, feeling that he seemed to have seen wrongly.
After wiping his eyes, he looked at the sea again, his eyes widened slightly.
"Get rich, get rich~"
Then, he immediately cheered because on the sea between the water and the sky, he could clearly see dozens of large ships heading towards the Djibouti Port.
The Ming Dynasty dragon flag flying on the ship was so dazzling that he could see it clearly at a glance from a long distance. He seemed to see a large amount of gold and silver flying towards him.
