"Reborn Pirates New ()" Find the latest chapter!
Muscat Bay guards two majestic castles, which were built during the period when Portugal ruled Muscat. The West Rock Castle is called Jalali Castle, and the East Rock Castle is called Milani Castle.
The name of the castle was taken by the Portuguese, Jalali originated from the great hero of the Omani nation in the Muscat area, and Milani was a beloved national leader among the Portuguese. The Portuguese let them defend Muscat together, the purpose is to reduce the resistance and hostility of the Omanis towards the Portuguese.
Their work was fruitful. The Portuguese ruled Muscat smoothly for hundreds of years. Although it changed hands twice to Ottoman Turkey during the period, they were finally regained with the help of the locals.
Until 1624, Nasir bin Murshid Al Yaribi was elected as the Imam of Oman and began to provoke the relationship between the locals and the Portuguese. He finally succeeded. In 1650, the Portuguese surrendered. Ended their history of domination over Muscat.
But this relentless incitement to hostility has also sowed its seeds between Muscat natives and landlocked Omanis. Imams could not maintain their rule over Muscat with faith, and there was a power vacuum for Omanis in the secular world.
Ancient aristocrats, royal power, grass-headed warriors, religious leaders, all kinds of leaders fought in the Omani land, including the ancestors of our current sultan, the ancient aristocratic Said family from Salalah.
This chaotic world lasted for nearly a hundred years, until the sudden emergence of Said, a gift from God, wiped out all the ruling forces in just a few years, established the Said Dynasty, and settled in the prosperous and unbreakable Muscat in 1784 ...
"Wait, the Sultanate was officially established in Muscat in 1784, that is, last year?"
Aziz was talking lively, when Lorraine interrupted suddenly, with a ridiculous expression of seeing a ghost on his face.
Aziz shrugged innocently: "Yes, until your fleet blocked Muscat Bay, the Saeed Dynasty ruled in this bustling seaside town for 8 months and 7 days."
"But... but the palace and the castle... the coastal batteries, and those noble mansions..."
"The castle has been built for nearly two hundred years, and the coastal fort was also made by the Portuguese. The Royal Palace was once the residence of the Governor of Portugal. Countless dignitaries gathered in that area over the long years. Basically all the buildings are antiques. They belonged to the Said Dynasty Longer history."
Lorraine opened her mouth silently: "Sorry, you continue."
Aziz cleared his throat.
Continue to talk about ancient times.
He asked Lorraine: "My honorable president, from 1650 to 1784, do you guess why no secular force has completed the rule of Oman during the long period of more than a hundred years, and only the Sultan succeeded?"
Lorraine frowned and thought for a long time: "Could it be... Imam?"
Aziz applauded excitedly.
"Yes, Imam. Religion has great power. Everyone in this land believes in Allah and worships the Sheikh, but only the Saeed family has reached a consensus with the Sheikh. Only the secular The authority has always been recognized by the Imam."
"The bond between politics and religion is under your feet, the Hasadi family, their loyalty belongs to the Imam, and they dedicate their strength to Saeed. Saeed never believed them, but after a hundred years of the Sultan's family In the history of struggle, they have always been the partners and subordinates that Saeed dared to entrust most in crisis."
"There is such a complicated relationship between them. The Hasadi family was able to garrison Milani Castle because of such a complicated relationship."
"Then guess again, who is guarding Jalali Castle?"
Lorraine held her chin in silence for a long time, and said tentatively, "I guess it's a representative of Muscat locals."
"The Jalali family." Aziz approved Lorraine's answer, "They are the direct descendants of the great heroes who only belong to the Omanis, the real masters of Muscat, and they are not simply affiliated with the Said family Everyone knows that every person surnamed Said must choose a wife surnamed Jalali, which is a family-to-family oath."
Lorraine thought about it.
He seemed to have captured something just now, but after thinking about it, he couldn't find the source of inspiration, so he could only continue to ask Aziz.
"Aziz, you say that this story will make you completely betray your own country, and that I can get vital inspiration from this story, but I only heard the confusing relationship between the three families and the Imam of your country. relation."
"I believe you're telling the truth, because Colonel Hasadi asked me to protect his family in Riaman before deciding to be my lobbyist, where they would apparently find asylum. But I don't know the contents How can it help me, and I don’t know what they mean.”
"Because you still lack a piece of the puzzle, my lord." Aziz smiled. "That piece of the puzzle is the Colonel Hassadi you mentioned just now."
"The colonel is a jigsaw puzzle?"
"Yes, Bashar Hasadi, the only true loyalist of the disloyal giants for more than a hundred years. He has been the second prince's entourage since he was a boy, and he has established a sincere brotherly relationship with the prince. He swore allegiance to the second prince two years ago. This move not only broke the tradition that the Hasadi family abided by, but also allowed the second prince, who was not obvious from the mother's family, to emerge suddenly, replacing the eldest prince with the noble blood of Jalali, and became the The heir to the Sultan with the highest cabinet support."
For a moment, a cold light flashed in Lorraine's eyes: "Colonel...there is such a deep bond between him and the second prince?"
"If not." Aziz paused, "Among the friends who surrendered to you, is there anyone more honorable than him?"
Lorraine laughed suddenly: "Aziz, would you like to join my chamber of commerce?"
Aziz froze for a moment: "Would you like to hire an Omani?"
"My chamber of commerce is very complicated, there are white people, yellow people, black people, Europeans, Americans, Africans, people who believe in God, people who believe in ancestors, people who believe in Allah and even the Supreme Lord people. You may be the first Omani, but I promise, you won’t be the last.”
"I need to think." Aziz bit his lip and thought for a long time, "I don't know where you plan to arrange me?"
"The vice president of the African branch, and at the same time holds a position at the level of deputy section chief in the asset management company of the General Assembly. You have already met your president, Eddie Garman, he is a Viking, that is, the Norwegian ancestor of faith people."
"It turned out to be Mr. Garman... He has not been in charge of Zuwo for a long time, but the slaves have already begun to call him the Marsilla Tyrant."
Lorraine stretched his arms and let Aziz continue the story he was good at.
"That's not an interesting topic." Aziz thought about his words, "After you wiped out the Bargara guards, thousands of people including me were sent to Zuwo as slaves, and some officers tried to use Manze Marshal Li’s prestige provoked a riot, but he discovered it early.”
"He erected a cross on the coast, and the officers who planned the riot each had three lashes, and the marshal received one for each whip. That time the marshal was almost beaten to death on the cross, and then he realized it and became a The staunchest defender of the Zuwo order."
Lorraine asked strangely: "Marshal Manzeri surrendered?"
"No, he didn't rebel like me." Aziz laughed dumbly, "He just wants to be his slave in peace, and whoever wants to tire him out to be tortured, he must act first and let the other party die quickly. "
Now even Lorraine was amused: "Aziz, I'm still waiting for your answer."
"Are you exploiting your own country under the tyrant?" Aziz rubbed his chin with a treacherous expression. "This sounds interesting."
