Chapter 14 Sunset Barbary (4) Marine Brigade (Part 1)

 Many days later, the fleet arrived in Alexandria, Egypt.

The port here was originally destroyed, and in order to assist Qinjis, the Truqins restored the port.

After knowing that Truqin fleet arrived, Qin Jis came here in person.

Zaha Station ordered that except for the left-behind personnel, the remaining personnel would rest on land for three days.

In the house on the shore, Zahatai met Qin Jis.

"You're here"

"Yes, Your Highness"

"Since you are here, who is besieging Cairo City?"

"It's my loyal chief Kabir"

(Due to Qinjis' intervention, Kabir, who had previously established the Ali Kabir dynasty in Egypt for a short time, could only give way)

Zahatai felt a little nervous.

"The father once said that when Qinjis was in charge, he killed all the other Mamulik and Ottoman nobles, leaving only one person. This person was originally a slave, but later joined the Mamulik cavalry. When the Ottoman Empire attacked Odessa, he did not follow Qinjis, but stayed in Egypt."

"According to the intelligence agency's intelligence, this person is ambitious, no less than Qinjis..."

In fact, Qitad is naturally talking nonsense. No matter how powerful he is, he cannot grasp the accurate information of Egypt. He learned from a later film that reacted to the Ali Kabir Dynasty.

"You just trust him so much?"

"What does Your Highness mean? This person is my slave. He has been promoted by me since childhood and has always been loyal to me."

Zahatai said: "I'm just reminding you that if he is really good, treat him as usual."

Suddenly I thought of something, "How many people did you bring this time?"

"One Thousand Riders"

"Where is the besieged army?"

"There are tens of thousands of cavalry and twenty or thirty thousand infantry"

"Why haven't you taken down the city yet?"

"Your Highness, the city walls of Cairo are tall and strong. In addition to the army of Ottoman Pasha, there are still 200,000 people in the city. You can draw up the city walls to defend them at any time. Do we have heavy artillery attacks? Therefore..."

"By the way, although we defeated the troops of Algier Pasha who came to support him in a battle, they did not flee far away, but rushed to the nearby desert."

"We must not only attack the city, but also beware of reinforcements coming from time to time, so..."

"Where is Bogler?"

Baogler, Qitad's father-in-law, the adopted son of Dataijizamuyang of the Hoshode tribe, and Cossack, also made contributions to the Battle of Odessa, and later transferred to the Marine Corps. Now he is the commander of the Marine Brigade that Truchen supports Qingis.

"He is sick, so..."

Zahatai felt a stern, "Bogler is sick, isn't there any deputy brigade commander Wu Lihan? It is said that our army will not be responsible for the heavy responsibility of siege, and Wu Lihan should come too."

Ulihan, a member of Dulbert's army, graduated from Elista Military Academy. He is currently the intelligence manager of Egypt not long ago and also serves as deputy brigade commander of the Marine Brigade.

But in order to facilitate Wulihan's work, his position was secret, only Baogele knew that he usually appeared as the battalion commander of the Marine Brigade Battalion.

In other words, he is currently managing logistics and supplies on the surface.

Due to the complex situation in Egypt, Qitad made such an arrangement.

But he quickly felt relieved.

"The Marine Corps is the elite of our country. They usually guard camps and fight very rigorously, so there should be no problems"

Another thought came to mind, "The deputy brigade commander of this brigade was Yehaya, a Chechen, or an orphan left behind by the long-term war in the Chechen region. Considering the religious beliefs of Egypt, many of the Marines who arrived here at that time were Islamic people."

"Qin Jis doesn't know about Wulihan, but he also knows Ye Haya?"

Then he said, "Tomorrow morning, I will go to Cairo with you"

....

Cairo, dozens of miles south of Benha City.

In this war that spread throughout Egypt, due to the repeated fighting between the Mamuliks and the Ottomans, there is no complete place in the territory.

Benha was originally the place of another palace in Pasha, Egypt, and also the storage place for his private wealth, but it was lost in a fierce siege. After Qin Jis occupied the city, he demoted the whole city to slaves. The men were captured as military masters and cannon fodder, and the women were given all to his subordinates.

So, the castle became an empty city. After the Truchens arrived, due to the limited number of people, only the most deterrent force existed, Qingis asked them all to station here.

Wu Lihan, the battalion commander of the baggage battalion, was about to go out early this morning, but was stopped by the guard.

"The battalion commander and deputy brigade commander said that the surrounding situation has been severe these days and no entry or exit without his permission"

The so-called severe situation refers to the fact that although the Qingis army defeated Algier Pasha and Damascus Pasha coalition, it did not completely wipe out it. There were many cavalry in both armies, many of which fled into the nearby desert and occasionally harassed the vast Nile Delta countryside.

Since the army's main task is to capture Cairo City, except for a few important strongholds, there are very few troops left on the periphery and they have no ability to deal with these Ottomans who appear in guerrilla posture.

Wu Lihan nodded and said, "The brigade commander's condition is very serious, and even the penicillin in our country is ineffective. The medicinal materials my brigade carry are almost gone. I want to go to the river to find some artemisia grass to see if it can be cured."

It turned out that Bogler was infected with malaria shortly after arriving here. The Truqins had already had a mature therapy for this disease, which was to steam and cook Artemisia agaricum, but they did not expect that Egypt, which has always been drought, would also have a disease like malaria, so they did not carry much.

If you want to obtain this medicinal material, you either go to Lash Island to get it or search for it yourself.

"No, the deputy brigade commander said that without his permission, no one is allowed to go out privately"

Wu Lihan had no choice but to turn back. He was about to ask Ye Haya to open a release note.

The most important building in the city, the palace in Pasha, Egypt was naturally occupied by the brigade commander Baughler and the deputy brigade commander Ye Haya, and the brigade staff also lived there.

When I walked into the yard, a strong smell of herbs immediately came. It was the medical staff of the brigade department who were making herbs for Baogle.

In addition to being the battalion commander of the baggage battalion, Wu Lihan also serves as the medical officer of the entire brigade. He is Su Wenying's student. When he thought of Baogele's condition, he couldn't help but feel anxious. He pushed Baogele's bedroom away and walked in.

Baogler is a Slav. He is having a high fever. His original white face also looks a little red and yellow. He saw his eyes closed and he was lying motionless on the bed.

Baogler touched his forehead, looked at his eyelids, sighed and walked out again.

Next to it is the residence of Deputy Brigade Commander Ye Haya, and there is a guard standing at the door.

When I think of Ye Haya, Wu Lihan feels a little uncomfortable.

"This guy was originally an orphan in Chechen. He was adopted by His Majesty. He was originally given the surname Deng. Other orphans accepted this surname, but he still retained his previous name"

"But this guy is indeed of excellent quality. Not only is he ranked among the top in the martial arts competition, he is also proficient in several foreign languages. He is also very good at intelligence and investigation. He is also the first among his military academy graduates"

"But such a person did not join the Changchun Cult, but still believed in the former Islamic Church. Such a person was originally the most suitable person to be in the Intelligence Bureau, but he took the initiative to join the Marine Corps"

"However, since he came to Egypt, his command ability is obviously stronger than that of Baogler. Although Baogler has no defeat, Yehaya's record is obviously much greater than that of him."

"He can always find the weak links of the enemy by surprise and then give him a fatal blow. Although the Mamuliuks cooperated and the intelligence personnel lurking here in advance after our brigade came here, there were no locals after all, and the Ottomans were familiar with it, so it was not easy to do this."

"Although it is difficult for the enemy to defeat our army, it is not easy for our army to find the enemy and give it a fatal blow. Although the vast countryside has been swept by Qinjis, Qinjis's troops are also limited and it is impossible to take care of anywhere. I am afraid there are still a large number of rural nobles loyal to the Ottomans who are helping the enemy"

Although he was a little dissatisfied with Ye Haya not joining the Changchun Sect, he calmed down after coming here and said to the guards with a smile: "Is the deputy brigade commander here?"

The guard said: "The deputy brigade commander went out an hour ago"

"Where did you go?"

The guard said seriously: "Battery Commander, this is not what you should ask about"

This guard is a student who has just graduated from the Lagan Naval School. As Yehaya's guard, he is very strict in observing discipline.

Wu Lihan smiled and said, "Since the deputy brigade commander has issued an order not to enter and exit the military camp at will, if there is an emergency, there will always be someone responsible, right?"

"Go to find the Chief of Staff"

Wu Lihan nodded and walked towards the room next to Ye Haya. He was about to take a step and stopped again.

As a quartermaster, he did not live with the brigade headquarters, but lived on the other end of the castle. He came here every day to visit Baogler's condition. There are medical staff directly under the brigade headquarters. In fact, he does not need to come every day.

After he came over, he also went straight to Baogele's room and never talked to Ye Haya and others.

The castle has sufficient food and supplies, so he, a military officer, doesn't need to do too much, but the excess ammunition is stored in him. Once the army sets off, he needs to coordinate.

In addition, when the soldiers wanted to eat meat, he would also take people to the countryside to buy some. Qinjis had already greeted the nobles of the nearby manor, and the Truqins could use silver coins to buy vegetables and mutton.

"How come there is a scent?"

As the brigade commander, deputy brigade commander and chief of staff, the residence of the chief of staff is obviously not just a simple room, but a suite. In the past, Pasha's other palaces, each room was the residence of one of his wife, including a bedroom, toilet, and a reception room.

The reason why Wu Lihan is so sensitive is that he soon discovered a phenomenon since he came here.

The noble women here all like to apply a perfume made of vanilla flower petals rich in the Nile River and its tributaries. This perfume tastes very special, with a fragrance and a faint and indescribable smell.

Later, he realized it when chatting with the country nobles.

It was a kind of "scented fragrance". Since Islamic nobles generally had more than four wives, in order to attract their husbands, almost everyone liked to apply this kind of charming fragrance on their bodies.

Now this kind of charming fragrance comes from Ye Haya's room!

"According to our country's rules, military generals are not allowed to take concubines outside. Although there is no clear rule that they cannot visit prostitutes, they must not bring women to the military camp."
