The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

The area near the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt is covered with yellow sand, with almost no greenery. Fortunately, there are still many huge rocks standing upright, with different images, making the desert no longer monotonous.

If geologists come here to investigate, they will recognize them as igneous rocks-in fact, the Sinai Peninsula is an extension of the Great Rift Valley, where volcanoes raged millions of years ago, when the passion of volcanoes After subsiding, these huge rocks appeared on the ground.

These huge rocks provide people in the desert with the possibility of sheltering the sun. There are no trees and the sun is raging. The seemingly ugly tall rocks can block a lot of sunlight during non-noon hours, which is precious.

It was in the morning, and a group of cavalry was resting on a huge rock twenty miles away from the city of Suez.

They wore the same clothes, one-style robes, it was the Ottoman regular army.

Except for the two people who used telescopes to look east and west from time to time, the other eight people were divided into two groups and were playing poker and betting money.

Playing cards were invented by the Chinese and became a best-selling product in the world. Although it is light, it has enough entertainment methods and has become popular in the world!

Sure, the old king of playing cards looks like a certain Xiaoqiang, while the queen is a bit like his lady. He doesn't care how the people throw off his image.

Don't underestimate a deck of playing cards. There is no copyright concept that can be reproduced, but most of the playing cards in the world are produced by Chinese.

The reason is very simple. The cost of Chinese paper making is terribly low. A deck of playing cards transported from the far eastern continent to Western Europe has a lower cost than the one produced in Western Europe.

In the 17th century, the printing industry still belonged to the "high-tech industry." Chinese-made playing cards are exquisite and durable. They have been flooded in Ottoman and are very popular. The people and even the soldiers go out and play poker together during breaks to kill time.

Although some Green Sect patriarchs think this is an unhealthy way of life and call for it to be banned, how can the public not take it seriously? What a joke, a small piece of paper can make everyone unbelief?

With the huge rock blocking the sun, two people were fighting enthusiastically and yelling, causing two cavalry with binoculars to watch from time to time instead of working full-time.

One of the cavalrymen saw the sandstorm rising from the east, and gradually rose to the sky, coming here.

Sandstorms are common in desert areas, and if the wind is strong, they can blow up the sandstorm. A cavalry absentmindedly took a binoculars to look in his eyes, and his eyes widened suddenly!

He hurriedly walked to a group of people playing cards, stretched out his feet and disturbed the game. The comrades looked at him in surprise, and his words made the comrades jump up immediately.

"The Chinese are here!"

They looked to the east and looked over with binoculars. The flags of the Chinese army in the Yellow Sand Dust Brigade were flying, which was extremely conclusive.

They were so frightened that they jumped on their horses and drove back.

An hour later, the cavalry rushed into a small town more than 20 miles away and shouted wildly: "The Chinese are so big!"

The Ottomans were not unprepared. The general Camille Pasha who stood in front of the city of Suez and Cairo was an old friend of Fahad Pasha, the main attacker in Cairo. They were all mixed on the front lines of Europe and had friendship with each other.

Camille Pasha commanded an army of 100,000, and the front line in Cairo was tight. People from 15 to 70 years old in the nearby area were called up and the source of troops was scarce. Therefore, he supported the fifty thousand army on the front line in Cairo.

The remaining 50,000 troops, due to the local hot climate, lack of fresh water, and difficulty in supplying, the 30,000 tribal army conscripted disbanded on their own, leaving only the 20,000 regular Ottoman army.

The Ottoman Empire is powerful and there are many problems. Their troops are divided into two types. One is the regular army, with a fixed salary, and there are supplies when they are dispatched.

But there are more tribal armies and stragglers who "provide their own armaments and food." They have no wages and supplies, and rely on the looting when they win the battle to make money.

However, when they met Jiancheng, they were dumbfounded!

Therefore, under many difficulties, the troops gradually dispersed, and Camille Pasha was also helpless. After all, people could not starve to death.

Although his army belongs to the regular army and has supplies, the supplies are really not good. They can't bring much rations. The soldiers are starving. Often they can only eat a piece of bread and have to tighten their belts.

But no matter how hard it is, the officer can’t suffer. In the long white tent where Camille Pasha is, there are dazzlingly paved pieces of exquisite carpets, tea sets are placed on the small table, and the milk is crammed. Fragrant flatbread, fruit and mutton pilaf. The senior officers are preparing for the pre-lunch party, and they are also playing cards!

There is no entertainment in the desert. The most convenient entertainment is playing cards. Similarly, betting while betting!

Generals and small soldiers are the same, a small deck of playing cards has swept the world, and people of all ethnic groups are playing happily. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Camille Pasha didn’t wear a helmet, showing a bald head. He had a round, round face and didn’t look very vicious. He had a strong body. At this time, he was red and screaming. The admiral's demeanor disappeared. He was sitting cross-legged in front of a pile of chips, and he was short of chips to the family and the family~www.wuxiaspot.com~ looks like a frown!

"Hahaha!"

After suddenly playing the last card, Camille Pasha laughed wildly: "You have lost again!"

All of his opponents grabbed a hand of cards, some of them didn't show a card, they were so angry that they cursed there, and sighed helplessly, throwing their chips to Camille Pasha.

They played a big D, to see who played the cards first, and then counted the number of other players' cards, and gave the chips according to the number. When the game is over, the chips are exchanged for silver dollars to the winner.

Camille Pasha's cards were very lucky today, and he killed all three sides and won all their chips.

Although the money came easily for those people, they used the blood of the soldiers to deduct the wages of the soldiers, but they were unwilling to lose to others after all!

In the fight, someone lost all their chips, so he borrowed money from Camille Pasha and declared that if he couldn't pay it back, he would give him the best number of troops to Camille Pasha!

Camille Pasha readily agreed to this transaction, so the game continued, Camille Pasha won endlessly, and everyone else lost everything!

Just as the spirits were in full swing, someone rushed in and shouted: "The Chinese are here, and the Chinese army is making a big move!"

Everyone was shocked, Camille Pasha was shocked and said anxiously: "Prepare for war, prepare for war!"

On the one hand, he didn't forget to let Ma Bian quickly calculate how many chips he has, and no one should short his money!

After receiving the money, Camille Pasha was still a little worried, and told the generals to return to the camp and gather the army to prepare for the battle.

After everyone dispersed, an assistant named Yishag next to him preached to him: "Pasha, I'm afraid you won't be able to fight this battle!"

Camille Pasha said slightly angrily: "Why did I run away from the enemy!"

Ishag uttered a word, and Camille Pasha was stunned.

"If the cards are strong, the battle will be worse!"
