"Finally back!"

The little lord Ashleff was wearing military uniform, riding a tall horse and looking at the Aden Fortress from afar. This is where he lived when he was a child and had a deep affection for it.

Unfortunately, he was born a few minutes ago and was enfeoffed to a distant place outside. He wanted to return here all the time over the years, and for this reason he won over the city lords of those cities west of Aden. In fact, in a sense, he had to thank Zhao Fubo. If Zhao Fubo had not eliminated his brother by taking action, he would have never had the chance to return here in his life.

From a distance, you can see that the Aden Fortress has been replaced with a new flag that he has never seen before. Especially the combination of white and red, when the sea breeze blows, it is like a torch burning above the city.

"It's such a weird flag, I just don't know who owns it! It's not that they are the Song people in the extreme east, are they planning to invade the entire Arab Empire?"

In the eyes of the people of the Arab Empire, the Song Dynasty was a distant and prosperous place. But it was definitely not a huge country. At least the people of the Arab Empire knew that the two emperors of the Song Dynasty were once captured and imprisoned by the Jin people in the north.

This is not something that the Arabs who advocate blood revenge, and of course it is not that there is no conspiracy in their dynasty. Instead, they cannot understand it compared to the overly complex political situation of the Song people.

Just like the military feudal system that Saladin had developed, as mentioned earlier, it was just a variant of China's military ruling system during the Tang Dynasty. In the feudal era, no country in the entire world could compare with the centralization of the Song Dynasty.

The only problem with China is that the Qin Dynasty completely abandoned the Legalists, leaving China without the foundation for the rule of law. The so-called power scheme of the stupid people governing society ruined the fruitful results of the hardworking and intelligent Chinese people, and the development of economic development and technological development.

For example, a single leg jump is always faster than a person who has not run. The Book of Changes also says that "a lonely yin does not grow long", which is exactly what it means!

"But the Song people here are not very different. They are extremely warlike guys!"

Little Ashlefer came to this conclusion and all thanks to the Finance Minister. The opportunity given to his brother was given, but the three numbers "one, two, three". Without asking his soldiers to put down their weapons, they were directly chopped off their heads. If they had to define this action, it would be very cruel!

"My brother was attacked by others, but I..."

He looked sideways and looked at the marching brigade passing by. The Mamluk heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor, the cart behind him was equipped with stone throwers and giant crossbows, and a ladder truck dismantled into scattered parts for transportation. It can be said that he was well prepared for this attack.

Compared with the original estimate, his elite Mamluk cavalry Zhao exceeded 8,000, while the archers and other service personnel reached 4,000. Originally, he thought his total strength was about 10,000, but now there are more than 12,000.

It can be seen that the entire western city of Aden Province is still loyal to him. The number of cavalry sent by the city lords exceeded his initial estimate, which made him quite satisfied.

His eyes passed over his cavalry and looked east from afar.

"It's up to those city lords now. I don't know when their subordinates will arrive!"

That direction should be the army of the city directly under his elder brother. According to the agreement, they can send at least 10,000 troops. If calculated based on this number, they will have 20,000 elite troops under them.

Just as the little city lord Ashleff was looking forward to the army of the city lords in the eastern Aden province, Zhao Fubo was taking a small boat and had already seen those people.

He stood on the mast and used a telescope to observe the marching brigade on the distant coast. The same heavy armored Mamluk cavalry were lined up in line. The spear tips of the spears standing in his hands were shining in the sunlight, shining with starlight.

It’s a pity that the place where he is is the extreme distance between the telescope. He can’t see this far at all, and even if he uses the telescope, he looks vague and powerful.

"Let's get closer, I want to see clearly!"

Zhao Fubo lowered his head, and below was Sophia with fiery red hair. She also held a telescope, but the difference was that she used an ordinary monocular. Unlike Zhao Fubo, she used a binocular that was specially made for them, the so-called "big figures" on the island of Ferai.

Sophia, who was also observing the cavalry, put down her telescope and shouted at Zhao Fubo on the deck.

"The captain said that if we were closer to the coast, we might find us with our naked eyes!"

Zhao Fubo held the guardrail on the observation deck with his hands. If there was a little storm at this high place, it would be quite powerful when swaying.

"It doesn't matter. They saw that they were just ordinary merchant ships. There were many merchant ships on this line, and we used small boats, so there shouldn't be any big problems!"

Of course, there would be no problem. According to Fatima's information, the city lords in the eastern cities of Aden Province were not as active as Ashlever, who wanted to avenge his brother or get some benefits from the Aden Province.

Even because they were worried that Zhao Fubo would attack them from the sea, the roads they chose when they marched were on a route about 1,000 meters away from the coast, and they were definitely not close. Fatima also knew that in order to worry that Zhao Fubo would launch a surprise attack from the sea, they divided a lot of manpower to defend the supply line and the coastline.

"I really didn't expect that this girl, Shui Snake's waist, is really useful."

Probably it was Aiwujiwu, and because Fatima saved Shu Yuer while traveling to Cote. This incident has been confirmed through the light reporting system and with the Isle of Felekai. At the same time, the good news also comes with the second wave of fleet led by Martin, which will have more Qinhuang-class warships.

By then, Zhao Fubo could afford two fleets of five warships. For the time being, these two fleets will be led by Abu Bakr and his son Matt respectively. Diaedin and Fahard, who had just surrendered, are slowly adapting to the control of the Qinhuang-class warships.

According to them, they had never seen a warship faster, more powerful and more unique than the Qinhuang-class warship. Unlike before, they no longer talk about warships. Now when they call Abu Bakr, they are more willing to call his favorite name - "captain". Perhaps this is the method used by Abu Bakr to distinguish civilian ships from warships.

The person who commanded the boat was Diaedin. After several days of training, he became Abu Bakker's first mate. In fact, there was no such position on the ship at this time. He only heard the word "navy" from Martin and the deliberate actions of Abu Bakker who had some positions on the battleship.

This shows a problem: Abu Bakker wants to be the founder of the Song Dynasty Navy.

"Sir, we are going to set sail, you need to pay attention!"

Diaedin on the deck also raised his head and shouted to Zhao Fubo. Unlike the people on the Island of Ferai, the newcomers in the Aden province prefer to call Zhao Fubo "Grandma" rather than the island owner.

Zhao Fubo waved his hand and said that he didn't need to worry about his safety. When the boat got up, Zhao Fubo pulled a rope with his hand, looking like he was riding his flying fire and igniting the sky beast running wildly in the wind.

Looking at the constantly squirming queue on the coast like an oath, Zhao Fubo's new idea gradually took shape. Judging from the current situation and the information mentioned by Fatima, the city in the western part of the Aden province, because the little Ashlefford has a firm will and clear goal.

Relatively speaking, the eastern cities were simply because the Lord Ashlever promised them that if they were important to retake the Aden Fortress and defeat themselves, they would be able to reduce taxes by one-third.

"Maybe for them, one-third of the tax revenue is already a very large amount. And I'm afraid it's because we don't understand our strength. As Dia Aiding said, if he had known the ability of the Qinhuang-class warship, he wouldn't have taken his men to die at sea with his subordinates!

The plan for the present is to divide and disintegrate them. It is best to conquer the little Ashlefford from the sea and other cities with a considerable number of troops to guard against the empty cities. Take all these lords for him. As for the other front, I told them that I only collected one-third of the tax, which would be more beneficial than the little Ashlefford that gave them. And let them have independent rights and not affiliated with me!"

This is Zhao Fubo's new plan. As his teacher said, distributing interests is a science. According to the people of Song, if the distribution of interests is appropriate, the war may not be fought. But at the same time, Martin also said that how to distribute interests does not matter, but who will distribute them is a question.

I believe that under such temptation, the other cities would not have the will to continue fighting. Especially if the designs of Gong Zi in the Aden Fortress worked, they would soon lose the desire to fight. Zhao Fubo, who seemed to have given up some interests, actually got the production place for raw materials and the sales place for goods.

"Although Teacher Martin is an inconspicuous old man, his trick is really insidious. If we don't need to support those people and we don't need to guard the city, then there are naturally those city lords who will worry about their territory. But as long as we have cheap raw materials and the vast area of ​​original commodity sales, money will naturally come to our pockets through the goods. The method is good. I wonder if the people at that time when Teacher Martin came were so insidious!"
