The first step is that Hong Tao must first define his sphere of influence, which is to use Jinhewan as the main base, the Strait of Malacca as the fortress, and the Kabaran Port in Ceylon as the main battlefield, and to gradually push the Arab forces westward to the west of Ceylon Island. Arab forces can no longer be seen east of the Indian Ocean. It is okay to do business and run merchants, but to establish an Islamic country and control the ports will never be able to be controlled.

When the first step is completed, Hong Tao will take a cluster of battleships with double- or three-deck decks to go to the Arabian Sea and ask if they are dissatisfied? Whoever is dissatisfied will say it directly, let you not go into the sea. As long as it is the city, port, village, town, and I will blow up all the cities, ports, villages and towns that can be seen in the telescope. It will not work if you want to surrender. These places will be handed over to the tribes that will first choose to surrender to manage.

This has a deeper meaning. Hong Tao wants to use these Arabs to mix up the Mediterranean and even Europe. The east cannot go, so these Arabs naturally have to find a direction of expansion. The north is occupied by the Mongols and their descendants, so it is difficult to go north. To the south is a vast Sahara Desert. If there is no sea boats relying on land alone, it will be difficult to develop southward. Then there is only the west. If the Arabian Sea cannot play happily, they must go to the Mediterranean to toss and toss. Well, Hong Tao will encourage them to go to the Mediterranean to toss and send money, weapons, technology, and toss, form a Crescent Legion and a Crusader to spray it, and toss the human brain out of the dog's brain.

After I helped the Southern Song Dynasty court to hold back the Mongols' going south and let the two sides be in a stalemate, I turned around Africa and Europe to act as referees for Arabs and Europeans, spreading gossip on both sides, asking them to give benefits to themselves in conflicts, dare not give them? I dare not let me join the other party immediately and join together to beat you up. Can you bear it? In this case, you will take advantage of all the advantages and rules set. All you should have, but the peace between the Europeans and the Arabs is gone.

All peace maintained by power is false. Once they leave that place, they will not be able to hold it in long before they will have to meet each other. That's right. If they don't fight, they will be unemployed and will be able to make a fortune when they fight. Seeing that they are almost done, we will stand up and be a mate, and take advantage of each other. Cover the fire of war temporarily... just cover it, and the flames will emerge sooner or later. This war related to the fate of the nation will never be over. Even if both sides want to stop, they dare not really stop. People, once they fight a real fire, they will hurt each other deeply enough. Even if they know that someone is using them to provoke them, they will not be able to turn enemies into friends immediately. This hatred takes time and requires great wisdom to mediate, unless a leader with great wisdom is born on both sides. Only then can the war be completely extinguished.

Hong Tao doesn't think that such great men will appear soon, and when they appear, they will be one pair, one side, how come they are so coincidental? They are specifically against themselves? So this situation can be ignored. If it really happens, then you will not blame anyone for your own head and back. We will not be the referee, and it will be better to help you build your home together? What is missing? I will use a fleet to transport it to you. It will definitely not cheat people, and the price is fair enough. But there is one thing, these transactions are all specialized in Jinhe Company and the Southern Song Dynasty maritime merchants. Who dares to smuggle around Africa in a small boat? Don't blame us for turning against others. With the fortress of the Cape of Good Hope, your fleet can block the Horn of Africa at any time and cut off the only channel between Europe and Asia.

What? Are you going to attack the Cape of Good Hope? Stop talking. When you fight with the Arabs, we have built this place long ago, and you don’t even have a decent sea boat. What to do to attack? Come from land? That’s even more unreliable. The natives and animals on the African prairie are enough for you to climb. When you climb to the Cape of Good Hope, Hong Tao may be old. Do you like to fight or not?

The strategic goal is that Hong Tao outlined his lifelong efforts. As for America, he has other plans and is not within this plan. As long as the Arabs are run to the west, Europeans will not be able to spend time exploring America. That place is neither the surname Song nor Jin, and that place should be Hong. It is the retirement home chosen by Hong Tao. From South America to North America, it is not too big, because he must have many children. If one child is divided into a small courtyard as big as Brazil, the whole America is not enough, and maybe he has to go to Oceania.

Of course, these are just plans! As for plans, changes are allowed. Many times, plans cannot keep up with changes. Hong Tao himself does not know how much the plan can be completed to the extent. As for the same sentence, let the people and things do their best to be destined and move towards this goal. Whether they can reach it is another question.

Is Hong Tao and nine small sea merchants enough for the Strait Development Management Company? It is definitely not enough. Why are the remaining dozen sea merchants unwilling to join? They didn't say it, but Hong Tao guessed that they still had doubts about their abilities, fearing that if they were defeated after they followed him, whether they were defeated, whether they were Arabs, nearby national alliances, or Southern Song sea merchants, they would take their anger on them. By then, it was no longer a question of whether they could eat meat and drink soup, but the life and death of the entire family. This investment was a bit big, and the more valuable people were, the more they had, they had not seen it clearly and thought it through.

"Everyone, it doesn't matter. The company's door will always be open to everyone! Although I am not a Song people, I am a descendant of the Song people. I thought to the Song people, otherwise I would not have left my family and business to do this thankless thing. I mainly can't stand the big food merchants' efforts to take over all the profits we should have earned from the Song Dynasty. Once this situation develops, think about it. They can use these wealth to build a bigger and better ship. In a few years, more than ten years, decades, will there be a place for the Song merchants to stay in this sea area? I'm afraid they will also set up a Strait company at that time. So, for everyone

For the sake of your descendants, we should also unite, protect this seaside for the future and leave it to our own people. It doesn’t matter now that we can’t figure it out. Everyone still has time to think carefully and slowly think about it. We should set sail the day after tomorrow. There are still thousands of miles of sea roads to go ahead. When we arrive at Kabaran Port, we can sell the goods we bring and buy the right goods. Then let’s talk about this matter again. How about it? Hong Tao is not in a hurry to bring these people into the group. This work is not effective by mouth. They must see tangible benefits, and they must have huge benefits. Then there is no need to say it himself, they will figure it out which end is cold and which end is hot.

"Yes, yes, General Hong Gao Yi! Hong Gang-sen Gao Yi!" Now what Hong Tao said, these maritime merchants had to nod, they were afraid of being poisoned by Hong Tao on the sea. More than 50 injured pig sailors and soldiers were shot and killed in the water one by one. This was all they saw with their own eyes. To this day, there are more than 300 prisoners in the big yard next to the dock. They only give a meal of porridge every day. Whoever dares to get sick will be pulled out immediately, stabbed in the neck, and thrown directly into the sea. This guy named Hong is extremely cold and does not regard human life as a human life at all. He even said in public that in his eyes, there are only two types of people in the world, one is his own, and he will protect it carefully; the other is others. In his eyes, all others are a number, and they write it on and wipe it off. It doesn't matter if this number eventually becomes zero.

"Brutal! Beasty!" This is Wen Nan's evaluation of Hong Tao. Those injured sailors were executed, and he could grit his teeth and hold back. Those sick people were executed without even curing them, so they would be executed directly. The sailors from each ship had to line up to take turns to be tyrants. He had already broken through his bottom line of being a human being. He couldn't stand it. Even if Hong Tao wanted to kill him, he had to say it.

"If you can cure them, I will not kill them. Once a plague occurs, all those hundreds of people will die. I am saving people. I pretend to be good and talkative. Everyone can do it. I ask you, can you cure them? The king's imperial doctors can only dance with grass men. Can these diseases be cured? Can you guarantee that they will not get the plague? If you can, tell me what you do. If you can't say it, use your brain to figure out the problem before talking. People with this brain are not just for chanting poetry and essays. It should also consider other issues!" Hong Tao had no feeling of contempt for Wen Nan. Not only was he not afraid of others hearing it, but he also raised his voice high, for fear that others would not hear it. These words were not only for Wen Nan, but also for his own sailors, captains, Southern Song Dynasty sea merchants, Luo Dacai, and Matini heard it. They might be cursing themselves.

The fleet stayed in the Port of Malacca for a total of seven days, and finally only ten sailors on the warships and ten sailors on the merchant ships were left behind, responsible for the supervision of the hundreds of prisoners. The others boarded their own ships again. With the farewell of the king, ministers and his court dance troupe, they raised their anchors and sailed again and headed northwest along the Strait of Malacca. The last and most dangerous section of this trip was about to come. Several of these ships could finally arrive at the Port of Kabaran. Even Hong Tao himself dared not guarantee that it was happy in the Indian Ocean. Once the old man caught a cold these days, he would sneeze and something. Not to mention those Southern Song cargo ships, even Hong Tao's flagship could not guarantee that it could float on the sea. Compared with nature, even those capable people are just ants.
