The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Tunisia is located at the northernmost point of the African continent. The north and east are adjacent to the blue Mediterranean Sea, across the sea from Sicily, and the west is bordered by the vast Sahara. The desert under the flaming sun is full of mystery and adventure, and has been civilized since ancient times. With the shining of light, the Phoenicians established the Kingdom of Carthage here long ago, and the Carthaginians almost captured Rome!

After that, the Romans occupied Tunisia, where they left distinctive Roman marks such as the Colosseum, Bathhouse, and Trade Hall.

The name of the capital of Tunisia-Tunisia, is located on the top of a lake on the west bank of the Gulf of Tunis in the Mediterranean Sea. Between the bay and the lake, there is a natural sand bank separated by a gap in the middle. It is a natural harbor and the city is hidden in the date palm. In the shade of trees, palm trees and olive right, it is like white lotus floating on the Mediterranean Sea.

The streets are crowded, and people’s clothes are quite traditional. Men wear long robes and women wear traditional clothes. There are stalls selling all kinds of knitting and embroideries. The streets are full of people and the shops on both sides are booming and popular. Outside the city, there is a large livestock market, where cattle, sheep, horses and camels are abundant.

In the Middle East and North Africa, the most useful livestock are camels. The key to running and consignment is to feed them well, while cattle, sheep and horses require too much water and grass feed, so camels are the most expensive.

Nobles like camels. The wealth of a person on land in Tunisia depends on how many camels he has.

The most common products are Chinese products. They sell silk, porcelain, tea, sugar, tobacco, alcohol, and utensils. They are a dazzling array of items. Chinese-made soaps and perfumes are especially good sellers. There are also Chinese munitions, including muskets, fire guns, spray guns, etc. Bobbins and artillery of various calibers are everything, great and good, and there are a lot of customers.

In one sentence, there are more munitions stalls than bakeries in Tunisia!

Comparing with the arms stalls, there is a long line of food stalls on the coast at night. Chinese food, European food, North Africa, Middle East, and Ottoman food can be seen everywhere. The aroma is strong, and it is attractive to spend money. .

In addition to legitimate business, partial business is very prosperous, including slave markets, casinos, chicken nests, bars, and arms markets. At night, there are all kinds of voices of Fei Fei. The wealth robbed in danger of life is consumed on the alcoholic woman, disappears at the gambling table, and then they go to grab it again and again.

This way of life is definitely unhealthy and very dangerous. If you are not careful, you can't come back. But they have spent decades like this. They got used to it early, so when they heard that they were asked to go ashore to wear shoes, most pirates disagreed. of!

On the high ground on the east coast of Tunisia, there stands a castle called Tunissburg. It has a moat and a strong wall that is ten meters high. The entrance and exit are strictly inspected.

The castle extends into the sea, and there is a water city with some ships moored in it, and a number of gunboats and merchant ships are docked on the pier outside the water city.

The muzzle of the black hole on the city wall pointed to the outside, and the guards scanned anyone approaching the castle vigilantly. They knew that any negligence would bring disaster to the castle, because too many people wanted to break the castle.

This is the lair of the king of pirates, Gasani Pasha of Tunisia. He has deposited a lot of gold and silver here. It is rumored that his wealth is as high as one hundred talents of silver!

"Talent" is a unit of currency recorded in the Bible. It is about 34 kilograms. One hundred talents of silver is 3,400 kilograms, or almost three and a half tons of silver. This is an enemy of wealth.

Gasani Pasha's looks live up to expectations. He has a leopard head, tall and long legs, agile, and a fierce face. At first glance, he is a gangster. He is less than forty years old, but he is already a pirate. The position of the king is the strongest among the three pirates, with more than 10,000 guns, hundreds of pirate ships and merchant ships.

Tunisia, which he owns, is the second most prosperous city on the coast of North Africa, which is not easy.

The most prosperous city on the coast of North Africa is the magic capital "Alexandria", which is a place where smuggling of goods is extremely rampant. Tunisia cannot be compared with Alexandria, but it is also thriving under the governance of Gasani Pasha.

For example, Gassani Pasha listened to a report from his administrator Faris Bey. Faris Bey was a serious middle-aged Greek man with a beautiful black beard. He worriedly said: "Every day in the city. The dead, the next morning, were able to receive more than ten scarred corpses. Various gangs on the sea and tribes on the land came. The number may be tens of thousands. The city defense army was exhausted and heard gunfire every night. …My lord, I suggest a curfew!"

"Why do we have a curfew? They are in the city, taking care of our business. You know how prosperous our bar business is now. No matter how much water seeps, you can sell it. Isn't that good?" Gaza Ni Pasha chuckled, and the following words fully exposed the true nature of the pirates: "All those who dare to violate our governance will be caught and paid a ransom, and those who fail to pay will be sold!"

"Yes, my lord!" Faris Bay bowed.

Making trouble in the city is a trivial matter to the king of pirates. He doesn't care at all, and there is something else that makes him headache. He sighs deeply, and his face is sad.

The place where he is located is a pavilion in the sky high above the castle, far away from the heat of the ground, cool breeze, good vision, unobstructed views of the Mediterranean Sea, but there is no solution to his sorrows.

Faris Bay stood motionless, showing good professionalism.

Gasani Pasha asked quietly: "Faris, you said, are we fighting or making peace?"

Faris Bey replied, "The Chinese have too many cruise ships, and the Chinese'Thor's Hammer' can break through the walls of the Holy City (Istanbul)!"

After listening to his words, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Gasani Pasha shook his head!

The reason why North African pirates can ravage the white-skinned seas and territories of Europe is because the white-skinned cruisers are few and poor, unable to deal with the pirate ships, and although the white-skinned battleships have the power to attack the pirate ships, they cannot catch up with the pirate ships.

The Chinese navy is completely different. The Chinese have too many cruise ships, fierce firepower, and fast speed, completely restraining the pirate ship!

Gassani Pasha spent a lot of money to build Tunisia, boasting that Baipi and other pirates would never want to break Tunisia for a hundred years, but his cowhide never dared to blow up in front of the Chinese. Because the Chinese have "Thor's Hammer!"

Having seen the power of Thor's Hammer, Gassani Pasha couldn't help fighting a cold war. If the Chinese really brought Thor's Hammer, no matter how thick the wall, facing the thunder strike from Thor's Hammer, it would collapse within a few seconds!

He waved his hand weakly and said, "When Lord David Pasha arrives, welcome him with the most solemn ceremony!"
