Chapter 985 Turks don't love Turkey either

The businessman was driven away!

In just one night, hundreds of merchants and friends were bombarded from their shops under the orders of the Turkish soldiers. They did not even give them time to take away their property.

"Why do you drive away Ming Shang!"

Li Yubai seemed quite excited when he learned the news, but the aggressive Turkish soldiers on the opposite side ignored his negotiations, but instead shouted to drive away Ming Shang and ask them to leave Suez immediately.

"You must leave Suez immediately, otherwise you will be imprisoned at once!"

While the local soldiers were shouting, a Ming Shang just slowed down and got a gun from there. When Li Yubai wanted to go up and block it, the black muzzle immediately pointed at him.

"Damn bastard!"

Li Yubai roared.

"Notify the Marines and get ashore! Bring a gun!"

At Suez Port, the sailors could not wait to jump up as soon as they reached the dock. They then formed a circle around Li Yubai. Dozens of three-year-old rifles were flatly held, and the flintlock rifles of the local soldiers almost touched the muzzle, and the bayonet was pressed against the bayonet.

The local soldiers were not taken away by the momentum of these dozens of people. They did not retreat. Both sides just held guns, held guns, and looked at them tightly.

Seeing this, the Egyptians at the pier quietly pulled their feet away. Only these guns were confronting each other at the pier.

The sea is calm and the sky is sunny.

But the smell of gunpowder in the air was so strong. It seemed that a little noise would be a melee!

At this moment, the civil servant sent by Pasha shouted loudly.

"Sir Li, it was Sudan's order to expel Chinese businessmen!"

Li Yubai asked loudly while holding the hilt tightly in his hand.

"Why do you drive away Ming Shang!"

"This is Ottoman, we must obey the orders of the Sultan!"

Apudula shouted.

"If we exchange fire now, the cannons on the fortress will definitely fire. At that time, it will only lead to conflicts between us. Chief Li, please tell your General Du to tell him that there is no need for us to have conflicts for a few merchants!"

Faced with the Ottoman reminder, Li Shaobai looked at the frightened Ming Shang behind him. For these Ming Shangs, these Ming soldiers were their last reliance!

At this moment, there is nothing more at ease than seeing these officials.

This feeling of being dependent on is really good.

"Sir, sir..."

At this moment, Xu Fulin, the president of the local chamber of commerce, walked to Li Shaobai and whispered.

"Sir, we can retreat to the ship first. In addition, I have important things to report to General Du!"

After saying that, Xu Fulin turned around and shouted to his compatriots who were driven to the port.

"Listen, let's go to the boat first. As for whether to lose money or not, I believe the court will naturally uphold justice for us..."

If the president comes forward to comfort him, everything will be easy. And these Ming merchants certainly knew that the court would definitely uphold justice for them. So they boarded a Ming merchant ship in a small boat.

"Don't worry, even if you lose a penny, the court will ask the Turks to repay us with all their capital and interests. If they dare to move our people, our cannons will not be vegetarians!"

When boarding the boat, Li Shaobai didn't even look at the local soldiers, and spitted hard, and then ordered loudly.

"You stay here first and protect the expatriates from boarding the ship, if they dare to act rashly!"

The sailors in the team leader immediately saluted:

"Please rest assured, if they dare to act rashly, we will let them know the power of the heavenly soldiers!"

After the tension was resolved, Li Shaobai and Xu Fulin and others boarded the boat, Xu Fulin said softly.

"Sir, something big happened in Istanbul!"

"What a big deal!"

Du Yuanwei said in surprise.

"Has the mission encountered something unexpected?"

The two cruisers led by Du Yuanwei were not just escorting the delegation to Suez, but also taking on the mission's escort mission. Something happened to the delegation!

How would he explain to the court?

"General, I don't know what the situation is, but I have a letter written by local Pasha Ahmed."

Du Yuanwei is not unfamiliar with Ahmed. When the mission arrived in Suez, he had hosted a banquet at the official residence to entertain everyone. He was a Pasha with a very personality.

"Ahmed's letter?"

When he took the letter, Du Yuanwei was still a little confused and handed the letter to Li Shaobai, he said.

"Look at what is written in the letter?"

After receiving the letter, Li Shaobai was stunned.

"Sir, the letter is written in Latin."

Latin?

Who knows Latin on the boat?

Soon, a businessman stood up because Suez had merchants from all over the world, so naturally someone knew Latin.

"Sir, this is a letter written in Greek!"

Because he was doing business with the Greeks, he could recognize that this was a letter written in Greek.

"What is it said in the letter?"

"Sir, the letter said that our mission was detained by Sudan, and Sudan may want to kill our envoy..."

The businessman said in shock.

"Also, Ahmed Pasha said in the letter that if the Ming Dynasty wanted to save the mission, he would be willing to help! He asked the chief to meet in another place."

Help!

What kind of help will Ahmed provide?

A few hours later, Du Yuanwei and Ahmed met on the beach dozens of miles away from Suez.

"Why did Su Fan kill the envoy?"

"I don't know, but this is not the first time that the messengers were killed. They have killed the messengers of England, the messengers of France, and the Venetian, the Spanish..."

Ahmed said.

"Now, killing the Chinese messengers is just a way for them to express their dignity!"

Du Yuanwei frowned and had no answer.

"Why do you want to help us?"

"I'm different from them!"

Ahmed pointed to the distance and said:

"I am a Serbian. I came here as a blood tribute when I was very young. I am different from them. They massacred Serbs there. They have been like this for hundreds of years. In the past, we could not see hope, nor do we know where the hope is, but..."

Turning his eyes to Du Yuanwei, Ahmed said.

"China is stronger than the Ottomans. I think our freedom may be in you."

Why help the Chinese?

It was because Ahmed wanted to take revenge and he wanted to return to Serbia, not as Ahmed, but as Mikhail, as Serbian, to his hometown and to his mother, if his mother was still alive.

"I think China will never accept that your envoys were insulted or even killed. You will definitely retaliate against the Ottoman. General, I think, at least at this point, we have a common interest!"

Staring into the distance, Ahmed, no, Mikhail turned his head to look at the two warships.

"You can bombard Suez, you can occupy this city, you can occupy the entire Sinai Peninsula from here, you can continue to go north and occupy Istanbul. Believe me, when your army arrives, the entire empire is welcome to you, whether it is Christians or Greens! In this empire... no one likes the Turks!"

No one likes Turks! Perhaps this is where Turkey succeeds. In this era, even the so-called Turks themselves do not like this country. What about those foreigners?

In fact, even now, it is very difficult to find a real Turk. The so-called Turks are just Turkic Greeks, Armenians, Balkans, just like Ahmed. If there were no today, in a few decades or 100 years, his descendants would be Turks. No one would remember how their ancestors were snatched from the Balkans by the Turks from their parents and brought to Turkey, whose names were changed, their faiths were changed, and they were circumcised, and then they became Turks.
