Chapter 421 This name is a bit familiar
"Your Majesty, General, can you send me ashore to Sanlan? I know the Emir here. When I was in Damascus, I was the teacher of his sons.¥f, Muslims are very resistant to foreigners entering their territory. If you can get the help of Emir in Yemen, your Majesty may avoid a lot of trouble." Hearing the conversation between Hong Tao and merciful, Said, who was standing up immediately, faithfully fulfilling his promise to Hong Tao, and being Hong Tao's Arab advisor, not only asking, but also looking at it.
"What does Emil mean? The king or the leader of the tribe?" Hong Tao did not doubt Said's ability. With Frederi II as his endorsement, all of these Arab scholars were genuine. Although Carl's cousin was a poor man, he would never make do with his academic knowledge. None of the Arab scholars who could teach at his University of Naples were famous.
"It's not the king, nor the leader... it's the general of the Caliph. No, no, nor the general. Unlike the generals of the Song Dynasty, it should be..." Hong Tao's question stumped Sayed. It's not that he didn't know it, but that he couldn't explain it clearly. After all, he had only learned Chinese for more than a year and was not proficient in many words.
"Just like Governor Bo Jiao, he commands a place, has an army in his hands, and is in charge of local government affairs!" Sayed was playing hard and stumbles from his mind. Alin, who was standing aside, interrupted, and he explained it more clearly and better.
"Yes, it's the Governor! This word is very good, the Governor! Chinese is wonderful, but it's too complicated. I think I have to stay for a few more years before I can learn this exquisite language!" Said immediately clapped his hands and expressed his emotions at the same time. Like Metini, he always likes to carry a lot of nonsense in the conversation.
"Oh, Governor, this is called Yemen? Is this Governor's territory in this area?" Hong Tao also understood. He also heard a familiar word from Said, which was Yemen. Later, the north shore of the Gulf of Aden was indeed the Republic of Yemen, rich in pirates! Unexpectedly, this country was still an ancient country. It was found in the thirteenth century. Originally, Hong Tao thought that many of the small countries here were the new countries that were born after the withdrawal of the big mess stick in Britain.
"Your Majesty's map is so exquisite, with clear lines... But the territory of Bin Ladan Emir should go north from here, from Hadaramao to east is the territory of the Bedouin tribe, and this is the Kingdom of Sultan of Oman." Said was almost curious when he saw everything Hong Tao took out. After seeing the chart, he began to draw in painting. After expressing his feelings, he opened a parchment book he was holding and corrected Hong Tao's mistakes based on the Arab map above. Yemen and Oman in this era were not next to each other, and later the area near the Red Sea belonging to the Saudi Kingdom became the territory of Yemen Emir.
"Who? What's the name of Emil here?" Hong Tao did not look at the changes on the map carefully. The name of a person Said said made him even more interested.
"Mohamed Emir, Gamair, Hadaramao, bin Ladan. You can call him Bin Ladan, or he can call him Hadaramao Emir. He himself prefers other people to call his family's surname, that is, bin Ladan. Never omit the pronunciation of Ben, nor do you call Ben alone. This is different from the names of the Song people, let alone call him Laola..."
When he heard Hong Tao ask about his name more, Sayed thought that Hong Tao wanted to give someone else a nickname. In his eyes, this emperor had many quirks, and nicknames to others was one of them. For example, he often called himself Lao Sai and called Alin Xiao A. And the more familiar you are with him, the less he called your full name. This habit was not a big problem in the Song Dynasty, in the Jinhe Kingdom, or even the Holy Roman Empire, but in Arab countries, not calling someone else's surname or real name was an insult. This habit alone could make two countries fight.
"Is this Binladan family a big tribe?" But Hong Tao was not thinking about how to give them nicknames, so he continued to ask.
"Your Majesty also knows his family... Hadaramao is the hometown of Bin Ladan Emir, and he was born here. His tribe has lived in Hadaramao for generations, so his name has the place name of his hometown..." Said was confused when asked. The old man probably already believed that Hong Tao was a demigod legend. A person who had never been to the Arabian Peninsula knew that sandstorms could be explained as knowledgeable. Anyway, this thing is not a specialty of the Arabian Peninsula. But even he knew about the situation of a local tribe leader, so this thing could not be explained.
"It seems that Uncle Ladian is really a Yemeni. If I have the chance, I have to go to Hadaramao to check out... Okay, Lao Sai, you go and meet this Binladan Emil first, I will let the warship send you." After hearing Said's description of the Binladan family, Hong Tao seemed to understand. He was still muttering something.
Bin Laden, this is only pronunciation in Arabic, and can also be translated as a translation. Pull the light! I'm afraid no one doesn't know this in later generations. The famous terrorist tycoon made the Americans hard. The bin Laden family is Saudi, but they migrated from Yemen. They were originally a prominent family, otherwise they would not have had a relationship with the Saudi king's family.
Hong Tao collected this information when watching the fun in later generations, but he didn't expect it to be confirmed today. Maybe in a while, you can see the grandfather of the grandfather of the grandfather of the uncle who is pulling the lamp. It was lies to say that he was very excited, but it was also lies to say that he had no reaction. Now Hong Tao is thinking whether he should introduce some oriental beauties to the ancestor of this terrifying boss, and then let him mess up the order of his inheritance. In this way, the uncle who is pulling the lamp may be eliminated in a carbohydrate state by himself, which is also a huge contribution he has made to mankind.
Said's old face is indeed very useful in some Arab countries. Three days later, he came back on a warship. Not only was he unscathed, but he was surrounded by two Arab children in white robes.
"Your Majesty, Hadalamao Emil welcomes your fleet very much. He is already preparing the camel caravan and the goods exchanged, and invites you to visit his home. These are his two sons, and I will bring them to see the big ships in the East. Halim and Alid, salute to Your Majesty." As soon as Said got on the ship, he smiled and showed his merits with Hong Tao. In his opinion, he was able to introduce the caravan to the people in his hometown. If he knew Hong Tao's plans in his heart, he would not be a lobbyist even if he was beaten to death.
"How should I return the gift?" Seeing the two children kneeling on the ground and touching their shoes with their foreheads, Hong Tao could only ask Sayed for help. Arab history has not been finished yet, so he didn't care about etiquette.
"Just kiss their foreheads. You are the emperor with a noble status. They are Emil's grandson. Kissing the forehead is considered a heavy gift." Said muttered in Chinese in Hong Tao's ear. Hong Tao pulled the child up according to his words, and then came one by one on the foreheads of the two of them.
"Your Majesty, don't hold their heads with your left hand... that's a serious insult..." Unfortunately, Hong Tao still didn't do it right. He was holding a cigar in his right hand, but his left hand was empty.
"Oh, then do it again... Arabs also use their right hand to eat, which one is on their left hand?" Hong Tao instantly understood that it is the same custom for Arabs and Indians. The right hand is pure and the left hand is dirty.
"Come on, I'll give you some gifts. I'll give you some meetings. I'll give it to you with my right hand." Hong Tao was very happy to play himself. He used these two children as a thing. But the two children should have never seen such an unreliable emperor before. I don't know what Hong Tao means when his left hand is at the moment, and he stood up and didn't dare to move. He looked very pitiful. So Hong Tao's own telescope and the first mate's telescope became their new toys. For two children aged seven or eight, the telescope could completely make them forget most of the unhappiness. After taking a look, they immediately smiled.
"Old Sai, Bin Laden may not be able to eat so much of my cargo. Can you tell him that I only give him two ships of cargo, which are hundreds of tons! Then he asked him to send a boat to lead us along the Red Sea and continue northward. I want to go around Cairo." After coaxing the two children aside to play, Hong Tao began to talk about serious things with Saied. He heard Saied's meaning just now. This Emil wanted to eat all the goods, and wanted to be a second-hand dealer, and sent them to other areas with camel caravans. This was not in line with his original intention.
"I'm afraid that your Majesty will go and discuss this with Emil in person. I can't do business for you. If your Majesty passes by his port but doesn't visit his house, he will be very unhappy. This is also an insult... If your Majesty is worried about safety, leave me on the ship." Sayed didn't know Hong Tao's temper very well. This was a colonist who rarely stepped onto other people's territory. He would only feel safe on the ship.
"Okay, his home is not far from the port? I won't go too far!" Hong Tao thought for a while, and Sayed said something reasonable. It's okay to go, but there are conditions. You must not leave the firepower range of the warship.
"Just behind the port, standing on the boat, you can see the roof of the palace." Said and Alin muttered a few words in Arabic, as if they understood something.
"Compassionately, I'll inform the fleet to set sail, or send two ships to explore about five nautical miles in front. Do you understand?" Hong Tao said no matter whether Sayed would call himself a coward in his heart. Those who drowned were all bold and cowardly could live long. So even if Sayed guaranteed, the fleet still had to set up combat formations and always defend against possible accidents.
