Boxes of gold coins were carried onto the ship, and boxes of goods were carried out.

The QSs surrounded the goods with their eyes shining, and they kept chanting and praising the Lord.

Fulk ran to discuss the ransom with Qian Hu: "I can offer up to 50,000 silver coins for this fortress. You can sell it to the Egyptians, if they are willing to buy it. You will eventually leave, and then I can buy it from Egypt."

We took it back from the hands of others. More than ten years ago, this place belonged to Egypt. If we can capture it once, we can capture it a second time."

This is pure nonsense. When the Crusaders captured this place, there was no fortress at all.

Now that there is a fortress, with the strength of the Crusaders, even if they can defeat it, they will suffer heavy losses.

It's a pity that the Egyptian caliph didn't live up to expectations. The Ming envoys had already gone to negotiate. The caliph expressed his willingness to buy the fortress and port, but only agreed to pay 30,000 silver coins - this place was very important to the Crusaders, but not actually important to Egypt. Even

It doesn't even have a population.

"Okay, fifty thousand is fifty thousand." Qian Zhen was too lazy to argue any further.

He picked up 13,333 taels of silver for free, and Qian Su thought it was okay. No one died when he captured the fortress, and the only shelling scared the Crusaders away.

Fulk returned to Jerusalem joyfully with the crusaders and goods.

As for redeeming the fortress, he had to wait for the goods to be sold to merchants and receive the money before he could come over to pay the bill. The fortress was temporarily occupied by the Ming army.

A few days later, before the Crusaders came to redeem the castle, the Bedouin actually came to trade.

They brought over a hundred Arabian horses, hoping to barter them and then sell them at a higher price to make money.

The purest breed of Arabian horses is in the hands of the Bedouins. Not only has it not degenerated, but it has been continuously bred from generation to generation.

Arabian horses are not as expensive as imagined, their characteristic is that they are durable!

If the horse breeds growing in the desert were precious, they would have died out long ago.

It only requires a small amount of food and water to maintain physical fitness, and its heat dissipation performance is excellent, making it very suitable for long-distance travel.

In order to show their sincerity, the Bedouin soldiers stopped at a long distance and only sent a few men to drive the horses to the fortress.

Commander Zou Tong observed with a telescope and said: "They are all good horses. Your Majesty will definitely like them. Last time, I was only on guard against fighting and didn't even think of buying horses from these desert herders."

Qian Wei said: "There is still some goods left, enough to buy all the good horses in front of me!"
