The fleet continues to sail westward. At the average speed, they can sail four hundred miles a day. If they sail day and night, it will exceed one thousand miles. It will only take four days to arrive at Lisbon, Portugal, the next destination.

When Thanos gave a speech to Chitard on the Mediterranean situation, he also presented him with a maritime chart mastered by Masonic. This maritime chart brings together the essence of the maritime charts of the current advanced European countries, Britain, France and the Netherlands.

After revising the memory in my mind, Qitade became even more powerful.

In addition, Truchen now has sextant, navigation clock, compass, compass, and advanced Chinese and foreign technologies, which are more confident than the current European fleet.

But this is still the first time they are sailing in the Mediterranean. They can only sail slowly step by step, marking the islands, hydrology, and wind directions along the way, and revising the map. This time is obviously not fast.

They arrived in Lisbon for ten days.

Before, Qitad had married Anna, the second daughter of the Portuguese king, and placed her in the city of Cafa, but Timur, as her fourth daughter, had not officially married her.

This time, I came to sign a formal agreement with the Kingdom of Portugal, and also to marry Benetita.

The arrival of the fleet immediately caused a sensation in Lisbon.

What's more, Timur's arrival brought 500,000 Ducat gold coins to King Jose I this time, which naturally caused a sensation in the whole city and was dispatched in full swing.

Portugal, a strange country. In order not to let power fall, Maria, the eldest daughter who later became the queen, actually married his uncle. What's even more strange is that in order to get married, she is now planning to marry Timur.

The four girls Benetita actually married her nephew, the son of her sister Maria!

Some of them are like Zoroastrians that pay great attention to blood. For example, Rasim married his own sister, and the deputy leader Arslan also married his own niece. The only result is that they cannot give birth to normal offspring.

This is probably the reason why the Zoroastrianism is gradually declining.

Fortunately, Jose I had no blood relationship with Queen Victoria, otherwise Qitad would not dare to let him and Timur marry his two daughters.

In fact, in terms of barbarism and strength and extreme belief in Catholicism, the Portuguese were far above European countries, that is, the country was small and weak. Otherwise, what would be the colonial situation in the 18th century be certain?

The country has been soaked in the blood of too many alien factors, the most important of which are the Alans and Moors, which has caused their extremely unique existence in Europe, some of which are like the influence of the Mongols on the Russians.

Such a country believes in both blood and obviously in power.

At present, this black armor fleet is obviously a naked symbol of power. After learning that the Truchens easily recaptured Gozo, Jose I was even more impressed.

In addition to 500,000 Ducart, it greatly alleviated José I's financial dilemma of bankruptcy because of the reconstruction of Lisbon. It would be strange if all the Portuguese were not sensational.

Timur (Nicolah) and Benetita's wedding lasted for three days. According to the previous discussions between José I and Kitard, Timur and Benetita immediately moved to a new establishment after getting married.

East India living.

His daughter Benetita, like her sister Maria, became the daughter of Brazil, and will become the daughter of East India covering India, Macau and East Timor, while Timur is the Grand Duke of East India.

Of course, Macau, which Chitade cares about, is a place that both parties have jointly owned.

In order to declare the prestige of the newly appointed female princess and grand dukes, José I also arranged his state secretary, Henry Alfonso, a descendant of Prince Henry, a famous descendant of Portuguese history, to a fleet to contact various colonies.

On the fourth day, the fleet set off again.

One day later, the fleet arrived at Rabat, one of the four imperial cities in the Kingdom of Morocco, near the Atlantic Ocean.

How to take down the Anthracites in the north of Rabat, and the sea estuary of the Seb River, obviously Qitad had already planned it.

Before, Bayar had already arrived here in the Clippers in advance and visited the city lord of Rabat, the brother-in-law of Ibn Abdullah, the current Moroccan Sultan Ibn Abdullah.

Hassan is also a descendant of Rashid, the founder of the Sharif dynasty that ruled Morocco. It is conceivable that in this world, except Truchen, almost everyone does not care about marriages in close relatives.

For a powerful force that has now risen like a comet in Eastern Europe, has stretched its hands and feet into the Mediterranean, and has defeated the Ottoman Empire not long ago, the Moroccans have no reason to refuse their visit.

However, although the Moroccans lost Tangier and Ceuta to the north, they roughly maintained the territory of the country under the circumstances of strong enemies, and obviously had a few tricks.

They are the moor cavalry, Berber cavalry, and the culprits of the black slave infantry in Africa, and it is not easy to defeat. Moreover, they have also built four tall and sturdy royal cities, not simply "the three holes of the cunning rabbit", but "the cunning rabbit".

Four caves".

These castles were built on the bones of hundreds of thousands of black slaves in later generations, Maunitania, Western Sahara, and Algeria. Of course, before the rise of Europeans, the Moors were also famous pirates, so naturally the bones of white slaves were indispensable.

For such forces independent of the Ottoman Empire, they still stand firm under the successive attacks of Spain, Portugal, Britain and the Netherlands, which are so close to each other, it will definitely be a difficult bone to crack.

The Dutch have been coveting this place for a long time, but the repeated failures have confirmed this.

However, as strong people, the only thing they admire is the strong people.

For such a force, if a hard bridge and a hard horse comes to attack, even if Truqin is outstanding, it will probably take ten years to completely calm down. This is really unprofitable in Qitade's opinion, not to mention that the Moroccan population is also quite large.

, It's not easy to conquer such a place.

If he had come a hundred years ago, he might have a chance because of the internal strife between the two dynasties in the front and rear, but it is obviously not possible at the moment.

Therefore, marriage is an extremely efficient and convenient magic weapon.

For Europeans, they are steadfast Christians and obviously will not marry the Islamic people. Not only will they not marry the Islamic people, but the scope of the marriage is also in an extremely narrow range, such as the marriage between Portugal, France, and Spain.

The marriage between Britain, Russia, and Prussia.

But this is not a problem for Chittad, who advocates religious freedom and is actually an atheist in his heart.

Bayar has disembarked.

He is carrying a teenager.

He looks a bit similar to Zahatai, but he is Turando's son, Qitad's second son. Wengketai (Ogedei, Chinese name Deng Yaokun) has disembarked.

Rabat is a magnificent and huge castle, with a military fortress facing the sea in front of it. This fort was destroyed by the Dutch, but they only ended here. It took only a few years to break through Rabat City.

Possible.

In the Fortress of the Navy, Bayar met Hassan, the lord of Rabat City. When Hassan led to Rabat City, they were guarded by a large group of Moor cavalry in costumes.

And the Moroccan Sultan, who is the same age as Qitad, is actually in this city - his favorite place to live in the city of Marrakech deep inland.

The originally white stone city has turned gray and yellow due to the erosion of time, and two people stand under the huge city gate.

Ibn Abdullah stood there with a girl wearing a veil and unable to see her face.

This is so rare.

Yi himself has a fat body and a very large harem group. Just like his ancestor Ismayi, he is too lazy to move. Living in Marrakech with a cool climate is obviously better than Rabat in the sea.

But he still arrived in Rabat himself.

"This is my favorite daughter, Fatumai"

Compared with his brother Zahatai, Onktai is a generous and open-minded boy.

He saluted Ibn and said in Turkic words: "Dear Sultan, I am the second son of Onktai, the great king of Truchen kingdom Qitad"

Onlooker inherited the appearance of his parents. Although he was still an oriental person, he had a slender figure, fair face and generous manners. With an elegant tuxedo, Ibn, who had dozens of daughters, was very satisfied.

Of course, this Fatumai was indeed born to his concubine. As for the time being, God knows if he doesn't like it.

Ibn nodded with satisfaction. He had seen Bayar before, so he nodded and greeted him.

Seeing this scene, Bayar was naturally very satisfied, but he knew that the Moroccan sultan in front of him had conditions for agreeing to marry Truchen.

There is such a promise in the letter Qitad gave him.

"Your Majesty, within ten years, I can retake Tangier, the two cities of Ceuta, which were taken away by the Spaniards in the north of your country, for you"

"After getting married to our country, I promise that no one will dare to harass your beautiful coast again"

Of course, Qitad refers to the Dutch and British, which is a promise. As for whether it can be realized, it is another matter. At present, he must sacrifice the happiness of his own son and let him marry Ibn's daughter to occupy Gai.

Nitra!

Sure enough, when they entered Ibn's palace, Ibn's words made Bayar overjoyed.

"Let's stay here in the next few days. I will hold a grand wedding for them. By the way, I have enthroned Fatuma as Princess Genitra"

So, Qitad's second son Onktai stayed with some of his troops. In the past few days, Bayar has negotiated specific conditions with Ibn.

As the fief of Fatumai, there are one thousand Moorish farmers in Genitra and one thousand black slaves serve him. The Truchens can expand the port of Genitra and allow black slaves to mine coal for him.

Need to offer 10,000 Ducat gold coins to the royal family every year.

It is definitely worth adding annual monies to the marriage, but compared with the location of the place and the large amount of high-quality anthracite, this is nothing.

Since he became the Sultan's son-in-law, Timur only left a battalion of troops and a small number of civil servants and intelligence personnel here.

The fleet continued to move south.
