After the New Year, Song Huizong pardoned the world and changed the country to Chonghe. During the Chinese New Year, Wenshen visited the Jiangnan Shipyard in Shencheng and searched for a large number of shipbuilding equipment such as electric welding machines, welding rods, paint, etc. In addition, he carried the computer host of the shipyard back. The various ship design drawings on the host surprised Han Pengfei and Liu Xianghai.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month of the first year of Chonghe, Wenshen returned to Dumuyat, North Africa. Seeing Zhang Long and the soldiers eating dumplings, he smiled and said, "What stuffing is it? Why do I smell it so fragrant?" After savoring, "Beef, right?"

"Mr.com, where have you been during this period? We all miss you so much." Zhang Long stood up and set aside a free seat. "Mr.com made it here, come and try our beef dumplings!"

Wenshen has liked to eat dumplings since he was a child, especially beef stuffing. Although he had eaten it many times in Yizhou, he still drooled at this time. He picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up one, and swallowed it in one bite.

"Yeah, it's not bad! It tastes very good." He looked at the garlic paste on the table and laughed: "There is still garlic paste!"

Then, he picked up another paste of garlic, put it in his mouth, chewed it with pleasure for a while, nodded and said, "It's really not good, you can eat it too."

Seeing that Zhang Long also picked up the chopsticks and started eating, he asked, "Nothing happened in the past few days when I was not here, right?"

"Nothing happened, but the lord of this city came to collect some taxes. By the way, I met the merchant who bought us slaves in the city of Aden. He also asked how our ship came. I said of course it came from the sea. The man was surprised and very funny after hearing this."

After dinner, Wenshen took out his tablet computer, found the map, and pointed to his current location: "This is our current location. Zhang Long, see if you have found it."

Zhang Long looked carefully, frowned and thought for a long time, and finally said in surprise: "Oh, if we build a canal in our current place, we can take a boat directly to the city of Aden, where we bought slaves last time. In this way, we can save at least several months of travel. There is no need to go around such a big circle."

Wenshen nodded and smiled, "You're right!"

"I understand! The big thing you said about is to build a canal here?" Zhang Long suddenly realized, "If it is completed, this is a golden waterway. Just collecting tolls can make a full basin."

"Haha, that's right! If you want to do this golden waterway, you must first obtain this narrow zone." Wenshen gestured on the map with his hands, and then continued, "How do you think we are better at obtaining it?"

"This is not simple. If we use a cannon machine gun, who dares to say "no". If that doesn't open his eyes, he will directly kill them."

Zhang Long felt that he had so many advanced weapons in his hands, so of course it would be better to directly occupy military forces.

"How can we build it after the occupation? We have only a few people, so we can't build it ourselves. We must find locals to build it, so we can't be too irritated with locals."

"That's the case! Do we spend money to buy it? People don't see it. I think it's impossible for them to see the importance of this place."

"So, we have a perfect solution! In fact, the control of the emperor in this country is already very weak..." Wen Shen pointed at the screen and simply introduced the form of this country.

"So, this Fatima country is in crisis. So if we just add some oil to it, it will not be dismembered by other countries soon. Maybe we can get what we want without any effort."

Wenshen smiled and pointed to the place in Jerusalem on the map. "There is a small kingdom in this place, which was established by Christians who believe in Jesus more than 20 years ago. When Christians occupied this place, they killed all the Muslims in the city. The scene was very bloody. In addition, this city is a holy city of Muslims, so now Muslims not only hate Christianity extremely, but also are preparing to recover this place at the most. I think we can do something in the middle."

Zhang Long carefully studied the situation chart of Wenshen's paintings and said, "The small kingdom that is being said is basically all around Muslim countries. Such a small kingdom cannot withstand the siege of many Muslims. There must be hidden information here."

Wen Shen laughed and said, "You guessed it right. Although these Muslim kingdoms have a large territory and many people, they are divided into several kingdoms, involving each other, and they also fight from time to time. Especially the Fatima Kingdom and the Black-clothed Big Food were originally fighting to the death, but now with this small kingdom as a buffer, there has been no conflict for a long time."

"So that's it! Then which one should we help?"

"Of course it's small!"

...

The next day, the ironclad ship set off in a fire and arrived at the port city of Ak in the northern part of Jerusalem after a day's sailing. The two ships of Dingyuan Zhenyuan continued to stay in Toumath on standby.

Akk is a small castle with a population of less than 10,000, but every day, ships enter the port and bring the supplies needed by the castle. At the same time, it loads local cargo and sails back to Europe. The huge ironclad ship occupies two berths, which also attracts the attention of the local lords and soon arrives at the dock.

"Dear customer welcome to Ak Castle!" A white man with beard and bearded and dressed in a black official uniform smiled politely.

"Oh, do you recognize us?"

"Although I haven't seen you later, I've heard of your reputation. Especially since this huge iron-armored ship is so conspicuous in the vast sea, we can see it at a glance."

Wen Shen smiled and thought that the news between Europeans was still very well-versed. He looked at the remaining halal church in the city and said, "I remember that this place seemed to be an Islamic territory before, and when did it become Christian?"

When the man heard this, Justice said: "We came across the ocean from Europe under the call of His Majesty the Holy Pope, and wiped out the evil Muslims, regained our holy city, Jerusalem, and established the Kingdom of Jerusalem to defend this place."

"Well, why do you say Muslims are evil?"

"You don't know anything about our dear guests. There were many Christian churches and believers in Jerusalem, and the Caliph of the Fatima Dynasty actually opened up destroying the church and slaughtering my church. How can you not be evil?"

Wenshen thought for a while and nodded, "The Caliph of the Fatima Dynasty is indeed unkind! Then wouldn't it be better if you don't continue to attack the Fatima Dynasty and kill their Caliph."

"Hey, we think about it too, but we are surrounded by Islamic dynasties, and our personnel and equipment must be shipped from far away Europe, so it is good to maintain the status quo now." The lord said depressedly.

Wenshen said lightly: "I have some new weapons here. If you use these weapons, you can defeat the Fatima dynasty with very few people."

"Really!" The man suddenly remembered the magic weapon used by the Pope. He heard that the weapon was sold by this group of people to the Pope. So he hurriedly said: "Dear guest, are you really willing to sell the weapons to our magic weapon?"

"Of course! As long as you have money, you can buy as much as you want." Wen Shen smiled in his heart, thinking that the fish had taken the bait.

The man's white face suddenly turned red, "I will accompany me to Jerusalem to report this to His Majesty the King."

...

Three days later, Ballwin II, the king of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, rushed to Ak City with a thousand cavalry. Ballwin II just inherited the throne last year and had always wanted to make a difference. Due to the weak power of the primary school, he had never found a breakthrough in development. He heard about this yesterday and came here excitedly.

In the hall of the government affairs, Wenshen glanced at the young king in his twenties, looked at his urgent eyes and said lightly: "It seems that His Majesty the King is very interested in my weapons!"

"I have heard from the merchants who come and go that your firearms are very powerful and I have always wanted to see them, but unfortunately I have never been able to do it. I didn't expect that we can meet here, so I am destined to be destined. Can you let us see this firearm with a look?"

Baldwin II thought it would be better to see it.

"sure!"

A quarter of an hour later, everyone came to the ironclad ship. Wen Shen signaled the soldiers to fire a shot and let everyone see it.

"boom……"

Not far away, the Ak city wall was blown down. The lord said depressedly: "Unfortunate, what's wrong with blowing up? Why do you have to blow up the city wall?"

Seeing this, Baldwin II was excited and shouted: "This firearm is indeed extraordinary. It is not easy to capture the siege with this powerful weapon!"

After seeing the power of the heavy machine gun, he was even more excited and thought to himself: "This is definitely a nightmare for cavalry infantry! If he could have these two weapons, haha, he would definitely restore the Fatima dynasty."

"I don't know what the price of this weapon is!"

"This big guy has one hundred thousand taels of gold, this little guy has one fifty thousand taels of gold, five thousand taels of shells, one hundred taels of bullets!" Wen Shen offered a price lightly.

"So expensive!"

Baldwin II knew that the price of this weapon was definitely not cheap, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive. He really couldn't buy much of his money. However, if he bought less, it wouldn't be of much use.
Chapter completed!
