"That's not what you mean...! Old General Zuo, what we want is peace in the Middle East.

We can mine oil and mine here safely and securely!

All day long, there were either explosions here or shootings there.

Our business is not easy to do, is it?

Think about it, why did Ming Dynasty invest hundreds of thousands of troops in the Middle East?

With so many troops in the Middle East, how much military expenditure will be spent every year?

To put it bluntly, Ming Dynasty had advantages in the Middle East, so it could support so many troops and cover its expenses.

There is no need to increase the taxes of the people of Ming Dynasty!

The prosperity of the Ming Dynasty was not based on the high tax burden on the people. It was a national policy set by the commander-in-chief not to compete with the people for profits.

What should we do if we don’t plunder the people of Ming Dynasty?

I can only set my sights abroad!

Therefore, ensuring the stability of the Middle East is ensuring the well-being of the people of the Ming Dynasty."

"Da Honglu! I, Zuo Liangyu, am a rough man and don't understand so many principles.

You are a student of the commander-in-chief, so you should have something in mind. All you need to do is tell us what the commander-in-chief wants our Marine Corps to do."

Zuo Liangyu felt that there was no need to let Zheng Sen talk any more, because he was already a little dizzy from being talked about.

“What I mean is that Ming Dynasty needs peace and good security in the Middle East. This will make it easier for us to extract oil in Ming Dynasty!

What the Marine Corps needs to do now is to stop indiscriminate killing!

Secondly, it is to benefit ordinary Arab people.

Those who have no money are given money, those who have no land are given land. Those who have no cattle are given cattle, and those who have no sheep are given sheep.

There is no woman…!”

"Stop! Stop!" Zuo Liangyu quickly stopped Zheng Sen who was still talking.

"I said to Da Honglu, how much financial support will the country give me with such a division? This is a bottomless pit, and spending money can't buy it."

Zuo Liangyu felt overwhelmed. If he wanted to share this and that himself, how much money would the country have to spend.

That guy Ai Husheng of the Ministry of Finance wished he could put a silver dollar into the treasury and put it on the rib bone. When he used it, he used pliers to pull it down, and every silver dollar was stained with blood.

So will stingy people invest money in the Middle East?

"The imperial court will not allocate funds to you, and not even a copper can. You have to get the money yourself!" Zheng Sen blinked. It seemed that General Zuo Liangyu was overthinking.

"No money? What points will I get if I don't have money?" Zuo Liangyu wanted to grab Zheng Sen by the collar and throw him outside the terrace.

“Why can’t we divide it if we don’t have money?

In recent years, haven’t those chiefs and officials at all levels made a lot of money from us?

When the Hebrews encouraged them, most of these people followed the Hebrews and opposed us.

In this case, we don't need to be merciful.

We use force as a backing to confiscate those people's property.

For those who betray us, I don't think we can even leave them with a pair of underwear.

Let us then distribute their property to ordinary Arabs who are willing to be loyal to us."

"Oh, I understand. Just like what our Ming Dynasty did in Jiangnan a few years ago.

Confiscate the land from the big landlords and distribute it to the poor people." Zuo Liangyu suddenly realized.

"Yes! That's what it means, distributing the money of a few people to the majority of people.

In this way, we can gain the support of ordinary Arabs.

If you do this, someone will attack your troops in the future.

There is no need for you to conduct overt and covert inspections anymore, the Arab people will naturally lead you to arrest people."

"This is a good idea." Zuo Liangyu was not a fool.

People who give free benefits to others are definitely welcome.

As for the wealthy Arabs who were stripped naked, Zuo Liangyu felt that they brought it upon themselves.

When the rebellion was at its most violent, these guys were the most rebellious.

Many Ming people had apparently escaped and ascended to heaven, but in the end they died due to the betrayal of these guys.

They are like grass on the wall, they will naturally move to whichever direction the wind is blowing.

Now that the situation in Ming Dynasty is getting better again, these people naturally surround Ming Dynasty.

People like the King of Syria who firmly support the Ming Dynasty are an absolute minority in the Arab world.

Originally, Zuo Liangyu just looked down upon these people, but he still wanted to use these people to stabilize the situation.

Now the commander-in-chief's new policy made him feel suddenly enlightened.

"Da Honglu, please tell the commander, please rest assured. Zuo will definitely handle this matter!"

"In a few days, the country will once again send a governor to the Middle East. I heard that it was Wu Ciyou and Fourth Master who recommended him.

General Zuo, the relationship between Wu Ciyou and Fourth Master is quite...!" Zheng Sen blinked at Zuo Liangyu.

"Thank you very much! I accepted Da Honglu's favor." Zuo Liangyu hurriedly clasped his fists.

Zuo Liangyu knew that Zheng Sen was telling him that this enemy named Wu Ciyou had a very tough background, and there would be no good results if there was any quarrel with him.

The fourth master, Li Hao, was exploring railways and made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty railway industry.

Later, he became the governor of Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty, taking control of Jiangnan where the Donglin Party was the strongest and most unstable.

It has become a paradise where public security is good, people live and work in peace and contentment, and taxes are sufficient.

Although he became disabled due to the assassination, he is the Marshal's most trusted brother.

Now he is less than thirty years old, and he is already a bachelor of Wuyingdian Palace and the second assistant of the imperial court!

In the future, he is likely to be the first assistant to the imperial court.

The people he recommends can never afford to offend.

"Where! Where!

General Zuo is in charge of our Ming Marine Corps, which extends from the Pacific Islands in the east to the Mediterranean Sea in the west.

These are all things that General Zuo has to worry about. There will be many places where the boy can rely on General Zuo in the future.

In a moment, the boy will have to pay respect to the old general for a few drinks."

"hehe!

Da Honglu joked, you are Dashuai’s student. I have many things to rely on you for!

In a moment, I will offer you a few glasses of wine.

Knowing that Dahonglu was coming, I had a camel roasted.

Paired with this bluefin tuna from the Mediterranean, it tastes amazing.

Wait a moment and it will be baked in no time!

Hahaha!"

Zuo Liangyu felt that Zheng Sen had a good temper.

Zheng Sen and Zuo Liangyu had a great conversation, and together they studied how the Arabs' roasted camels were different from those in the Western Regions.

Man Ye and Ao Ye, who are far away in Smolensk, are tasting the traditional Russian dish of roasted brown bear.

"Damn it, this damn weather. It's snowing and raining at the same time, it's only f*cking October." Ao Ye took a sip of wine, looked at the snowflakes floating outside the window, and began to curse.

He's been cursing like this all day!

I also drank wine all day long!

There are snowflakes in the sky, but it’s not cold on the ground. The snowflakes fall to the ground and turn into water!

The road that was run over by tanks is no longer a road, but a fucking mud pond.

The mud pool on the road is one meter thick, and driving a tank is like driving a boat.

Whenever there is a hole in the ground, tanks have to be dragged out by other tanks.

Not to mention the whole of Smolensk, the whole of Lithuania has turned into a muddy pond.

In rainy and snowy weather, the air force cannot take off. It is even difficult for airships to take off!

All military operations have been stopped, and there is nothing left to do except scold Mr. Ao.

Man Gui looked like he was in a state of mind, gnawing on the bear's thigh and drinking a small drink. He was far less violent than Ao Ye.

“Now I know what’s going on in China!
