Chapter 239 I'm helpless too

In the morning sun bathed in the Aden Fortress, morning light is always one of the most beautiful times on the Arabian Peninsula. Although the city of Aden below the city is full of Mamluk cavalry, the barracks outside the city are filled with assembled siege equipment.

In the city of Aden, some ignorant things were happening at this time. From this we can see how stupid people who only know how they prayed are.

"We can use these lanterns, and we take them all from those inexplicable wooden stakes!"

The street lights that once made people in Aden feel fresh and convenient have now become street lights for the city lords. One reason is that the purpose of the city lords coming here is to reduce taxes by one-third. If you don’t make a little money in it, you’re sorry for their wisdom.

Unfortunately, the big families in the city were moved to Thira Island because of their people and property. At the same time, the servants of the family guards arrived at the Aden Fortress. Fortunately, their property was finally preserved. As for the poor, they had no property, they just lost their food and their own strength.

But overall, in their intuition, the Arabs who had felt intimate in front of them were not as good as those black-eyed mixed-race people. At least those people brought light to the streets, at least they promised that as long as they hit the attacker, they would be compensated for their losses.

While Little Ashleff City Lord led his army, Gong Zi had already done delusional work here. After all, she was a businessman, playing with these little tricks was really simple.

"Don't resist when facing their robbery, just pray to Allah. What I can guarantee is that as long as we repel their attack, we will compensate you for the losses you suffered, so we need to know the status of your property now!"

The residents of Aden City, before the war was about to begin, someone gave their home insurance, which was a good thing they wanted. The imams also conscientiously fulfilled their duties as "security chief". On the one hand, they died bloodily. They could easily get rid of their loyalty to the Governor Ashleff, who had never taken them seriously.

Gong Zi's simple tricks not only gave their new rulers of Aden City a good reputation, but also recorded the family wealth and population situation of tens of thousands of people in the entire Aden City. At this moment, the people in the city just complained that they were stupid and were simply breathable. Facing the soldiers from the outside city, hiding on Thira Island might be the right thing to do.

The person responsible for the island of Thira was Pu Jinshu. At this time, he took the wealthy families who were half forced to go to the island and looked at the city of Aden on the platform at the height of the naval base. Although there was no flame that burned the house, the crying sounds there could be heard clearly on Thira Island.

Pu Jinshu felt uncomfortable when he listened to the shouts.

"The people everywhere live like this. In the Song Dynasty, when the Zhao family came, they surrendered to the enemy and wanted to rob. Jin soldiers and Meng people said that they were the people of the Zhao family and still wanted to rob. In short, robbery seemed to be the life of ordinary people. Do the people of the Song Dynasty often say that they are all kinds of plants and trees!"

However, the original wealthy families in Aden heard the shouts not far away, and some people were scared to be pale, while others secretly thanked that they were hiding on the island. As for the little Lord Ashleff on the island, the wealthy families who had watched the Battle of the Gulf of Aden knew that they did not have the ability.

"Look at these idiots, no wonder Fu Bo said we are going to get rich again. Faced with these idiots, it doesn't seem easy to get rich either!"

The telescope in Gong Zi's hand was facing Aden City. When she spoke, she looked at Juliana who ignored her until now. She was smart and shouldn't touch this bad head anymore. But this person couldn't resist her heart. Looking at Juliana's long sunny hair and sea-blue eyes, Gong Zi liked her from the bottom of her heart.

"Hey, Juliana, I've just apologized for killing people. Can you not be so stubborn!"

Juliana turned her face away, but just ignored Gong Zi. It seemed that in her heart, she could not accept the unspeakable ambiguity between women.

Gong Zi quietly looked at the people nearby. The commanders were holding the telescopes in their hands and carefully observed the enemies they were about to face. The soldiers did not have the blessing of holding the telescopes, so they naturally had to tiptoe and watch the awnings with their hands.

She quietly approached Juliana, while holding up her telescope to look at Aden City, but was quietly talking to Juliana.

"Do you think in your heart that our relationship is abnormal?"

Although Juliana ignored Gong Zi, she seemed to know that she wanted to avoid other people's eyes when talking about this matter. Therefore, she also held up a telescope, but began to answer Gong Zi's questions.

"It's not our relationship problem, but you don't respect others at all. If you want to reach out, you know that when Fu Bo faces me, he will be very, very respectful, if not!"

After a day and night of pain, Gong Zi finally understood what Juliana meant. It seemed that the relationship between a woman and a woman was not the focus. She used some despicable fragrance without respecting her. This was the real reason why she was angry.

"Hey, it's all my fault. I just thought that would enhance our pleasure. I will ask you for your opinion before I go next time!"

Gong Zi's words made Juliana widen her sea blue eyes in disbelief. She didn't believe that she was so against Gong Zi, but she didn't give up.

"Next time, do you still want to..."

Ambiguous smile appeared on his face, and Gong Zi said softly.

"I forgot to tell you that I am a person who is not easy to give up, so I will not let you go when you get married with Fu Bo!"

Juliana really had nothing to say about Gong Zi's entanglement. She felt that it would be fine if she was stolen by a thief, but she would only be stolen once. But if she was stolen by a thief, the loss would be hard to say.

"Okay, I accept your proposal, but there is a premise. If I disagree, you can't touch me at any time!"

Gong Zi felt that this was really hard to accept. What should I do if Juliana kept not letting her touch? But for the time being, she really didn't have the energy to do this at the moment, so she had to put it in the future.

The Mamluk cavalry under the city here blew the trumpet, which made the people on the city nervous, thinking that the day's offensive might begin.

"Don't be nervous. Muke will be on duty as we have decided in advance. The rest can take the opportunity to go to the back mountain to get stones, or get more charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter. Who knows when the Fubo will finish it? Only geniuses know how long we need to stay!"

The Shamsan Mountain behind the city of Aden was unable to climb. Under the connection of the crossbows that guarded the Aden Bend, the cableway was always connected to the sea. There could be ships to go to Thira Island. Pu Jinshu on the island, following Gong Zi's order, purchased sulfur and saltpeter from other nearby places and also supplied food for the ancient city of Aden.

So if we start from the entire battle situation and if there is no problem with the command of the Aden Fortress, it will be difficult to conquer this fortress with continuous logistics.

"We don't go into the sea. According to the information provided by the Finance Minister, those foreign guys have some very powerful ships on the sea. Diadein and Fahard led 60 warships are not opponents, so we don't go into the sea!"

The Minister of Finance, who followed the little Ashlever City Lord, showed a smug smile on his old face. Although some people came to the city Lord earlier than him, he was still the one who was valued.

"Governor General, I have one thing I want to remind you of. If I don't rush to stop them, I will be too worried!"

At this time, the little Ashleff, who was in charge of the powerful soldiers, heard the Minister of Finance call someone else "governor", and the joy in his heart was like a blooming flower. When he was happy, he was prepared to find a way to satisfy him as long as it was the request made by the Minister of Finance, as long as it was not too much.

"What, what happened! You just need to say something!"

"Yes, I just heard that the cavalry of the city lords from the East Road are all in the city now. I also heard that some people's homes have been stolen, their animals have been stolen, and the Governor..."

The Finance Minister thought that in the future, Aden City will always be the Governor General. If they are robbed now, they will probably become poor in the long term in the future. Poor residents are the reason for the decrease in income. If there is not enough taxes, then the Governor General and his own wallet will be lost.

This incident made it difficult for the little city lord Ashleff, and the cavalry from the east were here to assist. Even if they were unwilling to participate in the siege, they could still do other uses. Moreover, when they were on the battlefield, under the management of military laws, the city lords would become much more gentle and smooth.

But if you offend them now, the siege battle has not begun, which will make everyone feel disagreeable, which may be detrimental to the capture of the Aden Fortress. If you do not seize that, the Aden City will be a city of Aden that will never be peaceful.

"This... you know, I'm helpless. Without the help of the Eastern Cavalry, I'm worried that those who left the city and who were unknown to the destination suddenly came back behind us after boarding the ship. If they attacked from behind, then this battle might not be able to win easily, and our losses would become unbearable.

Especially you know that if we cannot maintain strong enough troops after the war, then…”
