The Persian Gulf is called the Persian Gulf by the Persians in the north and the Arabian Gulf by the Arabs in the south. It starts from the Mesopotamia in the west and connects with the Arabian Sea to the Strait of Hormuz in the southeast.
There are more than a dozen large ships on the bay heading east to west. The dragon flags of the Ming Empire are hoisted on these dozens of large ships. People can tell at a glance that they are ships from the Ming Empire.
Under the highest dragon flag, there is a large flag embroidered with the word "Àî", fluttering in the wind and making a hunting sound.
The surname Li has been a popular surname since ancient times. Famous families and capable people have emerged in large numbers. Not only are there many famous families with the surname Li in the Ming Dynasty, but there are also many famous families with the surname Li in North Korea.
Therefore, when ordinary people see flags with the surname Li hanging, they will carefully distinguish these flags to see where the famous family with the surname Li belongs.
If anyone who is familiar with the situation of the Ming Dynasty takes a closer look at this flag, they will immediately know that it is the flag of the Li family in Chaling, the Li family in Chaling, where the old Li Dongyang of the current Ming Dynasty cabinet is located.
When you see this flag, you should at least give it some face.
On the deck of the Chaling, Li Zhaofan was standing with his hands behind his back, admiring the view of the Persian Gulf in front of him.
Compared with the beautiful scenery we have seen along the way, the scenery here is really ordinary. A hot breath comes with the sea breeze. When you pick up the telescope and look around, you can see the desolate scenery on the land.
To be honest, Li Zhaofan really regretted it.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbOUT out of the East Africa has been divided up in half and half, so after thinking about it, he chose the Persian Gulf and planned to open a colony here for the Li family.
Originally, he had heard about the situation in the Persian Gulf. Except for the two river basins in the west, which are relatively rich, most of the other places in the Persian Gulf are very barren desert lands. There are only a few nomadic tribes in the desert oases. Life in it, other than that, is extremely barren and has no value at all.
" If it was valuable, it would be Li Zhaofan's turn. Those feudal princes and large colonial merchants would have already occupied this place.
The two river basins are indeed very good, but they are controlled by the Ottoman Empire. The neighboring Persian Empire is eyeing this treasure land.
What can the Li family do to fight for this land?
In the end, we can only choose some relatively acceptable places in other desert areas to establish a colony.
"I should have gone to West Africa. At least the natural conditions there would be better."
Li Zhaofan regretted it endlessly, but he no longer regretted eating it.
He gathered all the financial and material resources of the Li family, and used Li Dongyang's connections to finally create the colonial fleet in front of him.
There are more than a dozen large ships, all of which are filled with the Li family and some fellow villagers recruited from the Chaling area of ????Huguang's hometown. Everyone followed Li Zhaofan here with unlimited expectations of a better life.
There are more than 20,000 people in total. Along the way, eating, drinking and sleeping, plus purchasing weapons and equipment, construction materials, renting boats, etc. have spent all the money of the Li family, and even returned Many are owed.
Like these dozen large ships, there are five that really belong to the Li family. The others are rented and the rent is owed. It is because of the face of Mr. Li Dongyang and Li Ge that everyone is willing to help the Li family.
Of course, the Li family has also opened many textile factories in the Beijing-Tianjin area and their hometown in Huguang over the years, and has earned a lot of money. Otherwise, there is no way to support the team of 20,000 people traveling thousands of miles to come to the Persian Gulf.
Being able to get here means spending all the savings of the Li family and using all the contacts and resources available.
29306 , Li Zhaofan also needs to take root here.
"I really don't know what's good about this place. It's too late to regret it now."
Beside Li Zhaofan, Li Zhaofan¡¯s younger brother Li Zhaochun was looking around with a telescope and shaking his head.
Li Zhaofan and Li Zhaochun are biological brothers, both were born to Li Dongyang¡¯s fourth brother Li Dongming, but Li Zhaofan was adopted to Li Dongyang.
¡°It¡¯s meaningless to say this now, it¡¯s better to study where to start first.¡±
Li Zhaofan took out a map, studied it carefully, and then said to the people around him: "Where is the Persian guide~"
Soon, a PersianLi was not satisfied.
Although pearls are quite valuable, the output is not large, and there are many places where pearls are produced. Boni Island in Nanyang also produces pearls, and the output is not small.
29306 , I am afraid it will be difficult to recover the huge amount of money invested.
Mi He Mi. But now that they have come, since it is settled, it is still a piece of land. As long as it is occupied, it will be the Li family's colony from now on, land that can be passed down from generation to generation.
"From today on, this place will be renamed Chaling, and it belongs to the colony of our Chaling Li family!"
Li Zhaofan took a deep breath. Since he didn't regret taking the medicine, he could settle down here with peace of mind. He announced loudly to the colonial army behind him.
Immediately, the five thousand colonial army began to move quickly, attacking many tribes on the Qatar Peninsula.
The many tribes on the Qatar Peninsula were torn apart by each other because of the pearl fishing industry. They were no match for the Li family colonial army, which was armed to the teeth. They took over the entire Qatar Peninsula with almost no effort
