Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

It wasn't until a month later that Bao Zixuan sent Li Yulin to the airport. It's been too long since I've been out, and there are a lot of things at home; I definitely have to go back, and since both of them are not at home, my daughter-in-law will also be suspicious. But Bao Zixuan cannot go back, and Fucaira still has many things to deal with.

Zhang Zhan called and discovered a treasure on a small island in the former Cape of Oman in the Persian Gulf. And it's probably related to a legendary figure, and we don't know how to deal with it yet. I hope the boss can come back and decide for himself; and I guarantee that the news has been completely blocked and no leaks will be leaked.

After taking over the Oman enclave of Musandam Province, Zhang Zhan began to conduct exploration; mainly looking for mineral resources. Because this involves planning issues, we must not be careless. Moreover, the Heiyun Group's survey and the most advanced equipment were all used.

So on a small island in the Persian Gulf, underground space and a large amount of metal artifacts were discovered. After Bao Zixuan learned the news, he immediately rushed back to Fucaira. In order to be inconspicuous, we took a speedboat to the island at night.

The entire island is not large, less than 5 square kilometers; there are many similar islands nearby. Bao Zixuan has long been preparing to develop or build some necessary facilities, but the current conditions and surrounding environment do not allow it.

However, the preliminary survey must not be delayed, and then the so-called treasure was found.

When Zhang Zhan saw his boss arriving, he said excitedly: "The Arabs don't have any secret tunnels to hide treasure; they just make a natural cave into a treasure house. If we didn't have the most advanced equipment, maybe we wouldn't be able to get it. There are some hidden things." It’s deep, and the entrance is very secretive. But in the face of modern equipment, this is not a problem.”

"The people who came here are all the most reliable people, but none of us understand Arabic writing very well. I even saw that some of them were not in Arabic, and I was worried about leaks, so I had to ask the boss to come over in person."

Although Bao Zixuan didn't understand the age of treasures, he was no stranger to words. I also express my understanding and support for Zhang Zhan's caution. After all, they have just occupied this place; if it is a famous Arab cultural relic, it is estimated that the surrounding countries will definitely ask you for it. In addition, there are Persians and Jews nearby, so it may be even more troublesome to find their things.

Although Zhang Zhan didn't understand, he still translated the phrases in the treasure and found that they might be related to Saladin.

Saladin bin Ayyub, a Kurd, was an outstanding military strategist and politician in the medieval Muslim world, and the founder of the Ayyubid dynasty in Egypt.

In his early years, he defected to the Zanji dynasty with his father, and accompanied his uncle on an expedition to Egypt. In 1169, he was appointed vizier of the Fatimid dynasty. In 1171, he deposed the Fatimid Caliphate and established the Ayyubid Dynasty; in 1174, he was named Sultan.

After the founding of the country, it worked to unify most of Syria and Mesopotamia, and brought Egypt and the vast areas of West Asia back under the rule of the same regime. In 1187, he defeated and captured the King of Jerusalem and the head of the Knights Templar at the Battle of Hattin, and then forced an emergency landing in Jerusalem, defeating the Third Crusade. During his reign, he recognized the Abbasid Caliph as the religious leader, replaced the Egyptian Shia aristocratic elders in senior military and political positions with Sunni elders, opened religious schools in Cairo and Alexandria, and promoted Sunni teachings. The main energy of his life was devoted to the war against the Crusades. He was also diligent and honest, developed the economy, respected scholars, and sponsored academics.

He is generous, honest and upright, and is widely praised. He is famous in the Christian and Muslim worlds for his military prowess and leadership in the Islamic civilization's fight against the Crusades. Western scholars praised him as a "chivalrous monarch"; the Egyptian and Arab people gave him the honor of a "national hero".

But why was Saladin, an Egyptian ruler, able to expand his power to Syria? Why would the treasure be buried on a small island in the Persian Gulf? It sounds so mysterious. However, Zhang Zhan only knew a rough idea, so he had to take a look first before talking.

When Bao Zixuan walked into this cave that had existed for tens of thousands of years, he was told that although it was an island, the climate was very dry. It feels very strange, and it is probably for this reason that the ancestors of the Arabs buried treasures here.

After walking in, I found that although the treasure house was very simple, the space was much larger than expected. Seeing the dazzling array of jewelry, gold and silver utensils, Bao Zixuan finally understood why Zhang Zhan did not dare to let the Arabs come here. If the news is leaked, a fight will probably begin.

Because there are not only precious Arab cultural relics inside, but also many utensils with obvious Jewish style. Two of the candlesticks aroused Bao Zixuan's interest. Why did they look so similar to the candlesticks in Solomon's Temple in the transmission.

After Angela Rothschild told him about the treasures of Solomon's Temple, Bao Zixuan was curious and studied it carefully for a few days. It's good to have a smart mind, and you can learn anything quickly. And as long as you read it once, you can basically remember it. Now, his familiarity with the cultural relics of Solomon's Temple is definitely not inferior to that of any well-known Jewish expert.

It can be said that there are many cultural relics here, all from Solomon's Temple. This made Bao Zixuan feel very strange. Could there be something hidden in it?

Fortunately, he was relatively familiar with Arabic and Hebrew characters and had studied them carefully, so it was not a problem for him. Through the documents and records I found, I finally understood what was going on.

It turns out that this treasure is really related to Saladin, but the relationship is not very big.

These are all treasures that the Assassin sect received from Saladin, or rather robbed.

When it comes to the Assassin sect, a well-known figure first comes to mind. The old man of the mountain, whose real name is Hassan bin Sabah, is a Persian. The reason why he is called "the old man of the mountain" is derived from the Arabic free translation, which roughly means an elder or a leader. He founded the Assassin sect, an extremist organization that was feared at the time.

Hassan was born in Qom, Iran. He was diligent and studious when he was young, proficient in astronomy, mathematics, and theology, and enjoyed a certain reputation in the local area. Later, Hassan traveled to Egypt, where he was received by the Fatimid Caliph; he then swore allegiance to the Fatimid dynasty and taught knowledge at the Cairo court.

Many years later, he returned to Persia to preach; but he had a conflict with the Persian Prime Minister Nizam Mulek, so his life was somewhat displaced. But it was at this time that he gained a large number of followers. In 1090 AD, Hassan led his followers to capture Arammod Castle near Qazvin and made it his stronghold; it was also known as the "Eagle's Nest".

By 1094, the Fatimid Caliph in Egypt died, and serious succession issues arose, in which Hassan was also involved. The original heir Nizar he supported was overthrown, so he decided to go to war with the current Fatimid dynasty.

However, Hassan's power was limited after all, and he had little chance of winning in a frontal battle. Therefore, he focused on assassination and established a specialized assassination organization, Assassin. At this point, an assassin empire established between the East and the West appeared.

In 1124 AD, Hassan died of illness in Aramote Castle. But the history of the "Old Man of the Mountain" does not end; this title can be inherited, and the history of Assassin does not end either. Hassan's Assassin Empire lasted for eight generations and ruled for nearly 200 years.

The most famous person after Hassan is Rashid al-Din, the leader of the Assassin branch. At the same time, he is also known as the "Old Man of the Mountains". He is often confused with Hassan in some documents. During the heyday of the Crusades, many Arab countries still listed Assassin and some of its branches as the primary threat.

At this time, Saladin had already stepped onto the stage of history. After establishing the Ayyubid Dynasty, he was determined to destroy the Assassin Assassin Group. Afterwards, a large army was sent to attack the Fortress of Aramemute, but with the geographical advantage, the Assassins successfully repelled Saladin's army. At the same time, he also assassinated Saladin many times, but failed because the defense was too tight, but he also frightened Saladin enough.

In 1189 AD, European countries organized the Third Crusade; Assassin's assassins turned to ally with Saladin and began to continuously send assassins to Crusader countries and European countries.

In this way, the Assassins continued to deal with the Crusaders and the Arab countries; many forces tried to eradicate them, but none succeeded. It was not until the Mongols came that things changed.

The reason why the Mongolian army made its first Western Expedition was because the caravan was attacked; but after the Western Expedition, this situation did not change, because Assassin also targeted the Mongolian caravan. Not only that, the Assassin assassin also tried to assassinate Meng Ge, but still failed because the defense was too tight.

The above actions are tantamount to setting fire to one's own body. The Mongolian army once again marches westward. One of its goals is to retaliate against the Assassin Assassin Organization, and this time the leader is Hulagu.

Seeing the Mongol army attacking, Assassin wanted to join forces with the Crusaders; but he was rejected. At this time, there was also turmoil within Assassin. Aladdin, the old man of the mountain at that time, was overthrown and his son Lucredin succeeded to the throne. The last old man in the mountains was very timid, so he chose to leave the city and surrender.

But this move did not bring mercy, and the Assassin Castle was razed; many assassins were killed, and Assassin, who was rampant in the world, received a fatal blow. However, because of its huge power before, Assassin still has a certain foundation after encountering this catastrophe, and these people now regard the old man in the mountain as their target.

When the last Old Man of the Mountain, Luke Reddin, went to remonstrate with Meng Ge, he was killed by the remaining Assassin assassins; thus the history of the Old Man of the Mountain ended. As for the remaining forces of Assassin, they were swept away from the stage of history by the Mamluk dynasty that emerged later.

And there are some treasures that are destined not to be placed in the so-called Fort. This place is not far from Persia, so it can be said to be the most suitable place to store treasures.

If this treasure is announced to the world, it will definitely cause a sensation. But Bao Zixuan wanted to play a bigger one and was ready to replace the old one. Move the treasures from Solomon's Temple here, and then invite Arab, Persian, and Israeli scholars to come and study them. I believe that the benefits will be maximized.
