Work on the expansion of Alexandria began almost immediately. The welcome ceremony was over as soon as it started. As long as a man had legs and could walk, he was all dragged to the construction site to work.
People who were still singing and dancing in the morning started working shirtless in the hot Egyptian weather in the afternoon. Because they didn't get used to it for a while, quite a few people suffered from heat stroke. The only way for the killers to deal with heat stroke is to lie down in the shade.
Since there is shade to lie down, some people will be lazy. The killers still have a relatively easy way, as long as they are stuck with an awl and can't move. They are considered unconscious and only need to jump up. Throwing away is just a knife!
The sticky blood and dripping heads irritated all the workers. When the number of heads reached ten, no one was lazy anymore.
Li Yifu promised Yunhao with his head that he could dig through the canal in three months. The credibility of Human Cat's guarantee is relatively high, so Yunhao must complete the expansion of Alexandria within three months.
After coming out of the canal, Alexandria is the best natural harbor. Yunhao wants to build Alexandria into an advanced supply base! Because there is no better place in the Middle East than Alexandria.
Capture Jerusalem, Jordan, Sinai, Cairo, and Alexandria! All this is so that Datang can effectively control this canal. No one in the world knows better than Yunhao the significance of this canal to the world.
As long as you grasp this canal, there is also the Strait Castle. The Tang Dynasty almost controlled the oceans and world trade. It is foolish to use force to control the world. If you want to control the world, the best way is actually economics.
Yunhao is not actually smart, he just has more than two thousand years of experience than others. In an age of consulting explosion, all kinds of ideas are spreading at the speed of plague. The Internet, print media, and WeChat are all worried about the world being in chaos. Let people's knowledge have a qualitative leap.
The vastness of the ocean is beyond the control of the Tang Dynasty. Even if the Tang Dynasty develops for hundreds of years, it will not be able to completely control the ocean. It is possible to control several nodes on the ocean. The canal and Channel Castle are key nodes on the sea.
The silver coins and copper coins of the Tang Dynasty have become the basic currency of world trade. If the Tang Dynasty controlled the oceans, from Europe to the Asian continent. All nations will surrender at the feet of the Tang Dynasty, because their fragile handicraft industry cannot compete with the primary industrialization of the Tang Dynasty.
And their country¡¯s resources will become the best raw materials for Datang¡¯s industrial products. Datang could purchase their resources at extremely low prices. Because the pricing power is firmly in the hands of Datang.
In the future, Datang will need to develop, and kerosene will not be available. The place with the richest kerosene in the world is none other than the Middle East. For the benefit of the Tang Dynasty, a powerful **** country cannot appear in the Middle East. For the benefit of Datang, Yunhao needs a chaotic Middle East. The Middle East is a mess, full of religious conflicts, ethnic conflicts, and various social conflicts.
A large number of small countries are hostile to each other and kill each other because of these contradictions! In the chaotic Middle East, a war that will last for thousands of years and be difficult to reconcile will break out. This is in the interest of Datang. Only such a powerful Datang will always become the master here.
Of course, it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to send heavy troops to occupy places like the Sinai Peninsula and Cairo. Datang needs to support some puppets in the Canal Zone, as long as Datang can firmly control these puppets.
Puppet is easy to find. For example, the black-haired guy in front of you is a very good puppet. Especially the six-pointed star on his clothes made Yunhao even more excited.
"Your Excellency, the Duke of Tang, I surrender to you as a descendant of King David. I surrender to the powerful emperor behind you. Please allow me to kiss your boots." Arthur's Tang dialect is very smooth, if it is not curly With his hair, brown eyes and hooked nose, Yunhao would think that this guy is from Guanzhong.
"It is precisely because you are a descendant of King David that I received you. Tell me what you want." Yunhao took a sip of grape wine and had to say that the grape wine in the Middle East is really damn authentic. I heard that it was shipped from distant Gaul. That place seems to be called Bordeaux!
"Dear Duke! We, the Jewish people, have been driven out of our homeland since thousands of years ago. Now, the descendants of King David are scattered in various parts of the world. I beg you, Your Excellency, if you can draw a line A place where the poor Jews can settle down and live. King David¡¯s descendants will be forever grateful and loyal to the powerful nation behind you.¡±
After Arthur finished speaking, he knelt at Yunhao's feet and kissed Yunhao's boots.
Of course Yunhao can put Arthur¡¯s words into wordsEnough courage and determination.
It is not easy to restore the country. You Jews need to pay your blood and even your lives. I may grant you land, but ultimately it is your responsibility to guard it. understand? "Yun Hao seemed to be a king, sitting on a high throne. The entire Israeli Senate was prostrate in front of Yun Hao.
"We understand, Your Excellency the Duke. The Jews do not lack the determination of warriors to die, please rest assured. As long as we get enough weapons, the Jews will definitely keep the land you gave us.
Believe me, sir! Our ancestors conquered this land before, and so can we! "Arthur said firmly.
"For weapons, you go to Yuchi Baolin. I believe you have obtained the formula of gunpowder. This thing is no secret now! Just get the gunpowder yourself! Go!"
"No!" Arthur said his promise like a man, and then walked out backwards. It seems that this guy must have been around Datang for a long time.
Li Yifu did not break his promise when there were only two days left. He sent someone to inform Yunhao that the canal was dug. All it takes is Yunhao's order to open the gate and release the water.
Yunhao immediately took the airship and rushed to the canal construction site.
Both sides of the construction site are full of workers sitting in the shade of trees. The harsh sun in the Middle East has turned everyone here into black people. Including those Tang people who came to supervise the work, Li Yifu walked up to Yunhao and smiled sarcastically with his big white teeth. This guy probably only has the whitest teeth now.
In just one and a half years of living in the Middle East, a handsome young man from Chang'an City turned into a black African.
Li Zhi patted Li Yifu on the shoulder very distressedly. He was well taken care of. Li Zhi's treatment in the army was second only to Yun Hao's. He spent all day either in the palace in Cairo or in a carriage. Under the bright and scorching sun, this guy was covered up and turned as white as a big girl. At this point, Li Zhi was still bragging in his letter to Li Er. Since the Western Expedition, not a single battle has been lost!
For safety reasons, Yunhao and Li Zhi both boarded the airship and stayed in the air to watch this historic moment.
"Open the gate!" Li Yifu's order seemed to be sprayed out from his chest.
Following his order, more than twenty oxen were driven to pull the lock together. The bright water line gushes out like a water dragon. Mixed with an astonishing amount of sediment, it washed into the dug river channel.
The galloping water dragon made a huge roar, and the sound sounded even more shocking to Yun Hao on the airship. It was like thousands of lions roaring at the same time.
This is a historic moment, which means that the waterways between Europe and Asia will now have more convenient access. Ships from the Tang Dynasty could reach the rich Italy through this canal. Datang's goods can also bypass the Middle East and land directly in Europe.
Of course, Datang¡¯s army can also pass by. But Yunhao didn't want to do this because he heard bad news. An exhausted Yusuf was trying to negotiate with the Caliph. The reason for their negotiation is very simple, because the whole *** world is angry.
The pagans came to the lands of the Middle East, and they entered Jerusalem. Under the auspices of the highly respected Imam, they wanted to launch a brutal jihad against the Jews. If the people of Tang Dynasty dare to block it, then they will also deal with it together with the people of Tang Dynasty.
The holy land of *** is absolutely not allowed to be touched by pagans!
Religious fanaticism swept the Middle East in just two months. All sultans unite, all the sultans of the world unite. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
