Four hundred and thirty first chapter smiling tiger

"Who is Abdul Hassan?" Said listened to all Hong Tao's words, and he didn't doubt Hong Tao's determination. So the two old men discussed back and forth in the tent until midnight, and finally gave a satisfactory answer to Hong Tao. The name of the messenger behind the scenes was found.

"The Sultan King's younger brother..." Said expressed his identity with difficulty, and then looked at Hong Tao with a gaze, afraid that the emperor would say the word "war".

"We will go back to Port Masca tomorrow morning and set off for Hormuz." Hong Tao's answer made Said relieved. The emperor was obviously rational and it was not a wise move to go to war with a sultan king.

Seven days later, Hong Tao's camel caravan drove into the port of Masca. Without stopping for a moment, he went directly to the port, and then boarded the small boat waiting here and rowed towards the large boat moored in the port area. The three unloading merchant ships also hurriedly ended their business and left the port of Masca with Hong Tao's fleet.

"Your Majesty, why have these merchant ships left? Where are the ships going?" Since returning to the warship, Sayed was a little uneasy. Hong Tao's reaction has been too calm these days. He didn't send anyone to find King Sultan to judge. He just got on the ship in shame. This was not common sense. When he saw that the three merchant ships were originally going to sell all the goods here, and the cabins filled them also followed the fleet out of the port. And a warship left the fleet and raised its sails and drove eastward, he couldn't help but come to Hong Tao again.

"I will not do business with those who secretly murdered me. It is not safe to leave the Song Dynasty merchant ship here. They even dare to plot against me, the emperor of the empire. Who can guarantee the safety of these people? If it were someone else, I could still expect Alin's family and Sultan to lend a helping hand, but now it is the Sultan's younger brother, and Alin's family can do nothing. Could it be that his brother doesn't know about this? Do you believe it?"

"As for that ship, it went to Kalamba Port to mobilize troops. I think the Sultan of Oman is a little tired of sitting in this position. It is time to change someone to be the king. For example, the leader of Alin's family or the Sheikh of the Fatim tribe is not going to be managed by King Taba. Old Sai, don't say much at this time. We are friends, this is just a personal relationship and it cannot affect the decision-making of the country. You should understand this principle."

Hong Tao did not hide his plans at all. Except for time, he told Said. In fact, it doesn't matter whether the old man knows or not. He doesn't have a chance to inform others on the ship. In fact, Hong Tao prefers him to inform others. In this way, the Sultan of Oman will concentrate all the troops in Masca Port, making it easier to fight. It will save you from going to the desert to find these difficult guys.

"Why do you have to fight? This matter can be resolved through negotiations. Can the Sultan compensate His Majesty for his losses?" Sayed realized Hong Tao's true face at this time. This guy is a smiling tiger!

"He can't afford it. What I want is a friendly and peaceful city. Let him grit his teeth and pay me money. Will he be fair to these merchants in the future? Isn't it possible? Then why should I spend this effort to talk to him? There is an old idiom in the Song Dynasty. It's called killing a chicken to warn the monkey. You may not understand it yet. It probably means..." Hong Tao didn't plan to convince Sayed. The more he knew, the harder it was to convince. He didn't need to convince others. I like to agree or not.

"I understand the meaning of this word! Now I understand why His Majesty has brought so many warships to escort the merchant ship. His Majesty is already thinking about finding a monkey. Am I right?" Sayed directly interrupted Hong Tao without giving Hong Tao a chance to show his vocabulary.

"It can be said that... I originally wanted to go to the end of the Red Sea to find trouble for another tribe, but I found that it was too far away. It was not good for carrying out normal business activities, so I gave up this idea. Unexpectedly, someone took the initiative to give me an excuse. Actually, I am a very kind person. As long as others don't provoke me first, I usually won't provoke others. But don't think that honest people can bully you at will. To be fair, is it enough to try to murder an emperor of an empire enough to trigger a war?" Hong Tao completely stuffed his face into his pocket, and even told Sayed his heart truthfully.

"Can I leave His Majesty's fleet in Port Hormuz..." Sayed was completely disappointed with Hong Tao. This person was completely different from the person he knew before. He felt that he had been deceived and a rage arose in his heart.

"No! You have promised me to go to the Royal University, so you can't break your promise. If you violate it, I don't mind throwing you into the sea. Remember, I am an emperor, don't mix personal feelings with national affairs, and don't give up our friendship so easily. Where can you find an emperor as generous as me who can build you a university dedicated to studying science? Even if you break off diplomatic relations with me, you can't save this sultanate. If I have my whole life

If you are angry, maybe there will be more people who will die, and you will be killed indirectly by you. Okay, go to the cabin and think about it carefully. Drink this bottle of wine, sleep, and wake up and you will find that the world is still the same as yesterday, and it is almost the same if you lack anyone." Hong Tao is not really scaring Sayed. As long as this kind of scholar is attracted to by him, there are only two ways to choose from, one is to serve himself, and the other is to die. If the influence does not affect human progress, who cares about it, it cannot be left to other countries anyway.

After this conversation, even if Hong Tao, the Arab consultant, was completely useless, except as an interpreter, the old man no longer took the initiative to talk to Hong Tao about any knowledge of the Arab world. If you ask him, he would not answer carefully. If you can, you should omit more. Hong Tao didn't care. As for people, there must be a process of changing their minds. It will be difficult for many days to break up, let alone the shattering of beliefs. This would be better, so as not to have someone chattering around his ears all day long.

The Port of Hormuz is located on the north side of the Persian Gulf, which is in later Iran. This is the entrance to the Persian Gulf. The strait is very narrow and later called the Strait of Hormuz. Once the Iranians deploy mines and shore-based missiles here, the entire Persian Gulf will be destroyed and no one will come out. Therefore, the Americans sent fleets to guard here all day and did not dare to be careless at all.

There is only an ancient port here now, and many goods from the inland Central Asia will flow to the outside world from here. This port currently belongs to a large country, called Khwarezm.
