Chapter 419

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 is taken by the Portuguese. Jalali originated from the great hero of the Omani nation in Muscat. Milani is a deeply loved national leader among the Portuguese. The Portuguese let them defend Muscat together in order to reduce Oman's resistance and hostility to the Portuguese.

Their work was fruitful. The Portuguese ruled Muscat smoothly for hundreds of years. Although they changed hands in Ottoman Turkey twice, they were finally recaptured with the help of the locals.

Until 1624, Nasir Ben mulsid al ARIBI was elected Oman Imam and began to stir up the relationship between locals and Portuguese. He finally succeeded. In 1650, the Portuguese surrendered and ended their ruling history of Muscat.

But this constant provocation of hostility has also planted a curse between Muscat natives and inland Omani. The imams could not maintain their rule over Muscat with their faith, and there was a power vacuum in the secular world.

Ancient nobles, nearby monarchies, grass-roots Wufu, religious leaders and various leaders fought disorderly on the land of Omani people, including our current Sultan's ancestor, the Sayid family, an ancient nobleman from salara.

The troubled times lasted nearly a hundred years until the emergence of the God given said, wiped out all the ruling forces in just a few years, established the said Dynasty, and set its capital in the prosperous and unbreakable Muscat in 1784

"Wait, did the Sultanate officially establish its capital in Muscat in 1784, that is, last year?"

Aziz was talking lively when Lorraine suddenly broke in, with a funny expression of seeing a ghost on his face.

Aziz shrugged innocently: "yes, as of your fleet blockade of Muscat Bay, the said dynasty ruled this prosperous coastal town for 8 months and 7 days."

"But... But palaces and castles... Coastal forts, and those noble mansions..."

"The castle has been built for nearly 200 years, and the coastal fort is also the work of the Portuguese. The palace was once the governor's residence of Portugal. Countless dignitaries have gathered in that area over the long years. Basically all the buildings are antiques and have a longer history than the said Dynasty."

Lorraine silently opened her mouth: "sorry, you continue."

Aziz cleared his throat and went on.

He asked Lorraine, "my distinguished president, from 1650 to 1784, why did not a secular force complete its rule over Oman in 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 patriarch, but only the said family has reached a consensus with the patriarch, and only its secular authority can be recognized by Imam from beginning to end."

"The bond between politics and religion is at your feet, the hassadi family. Their loyalty belongs to the imam, and they devote their strength to said. Said has never believed them, but in the hundred year struggle history of the Sudanese family, they have always been the most daring partners and subordinates entrusted by said in the crisis."

"It is such a complex relationship between them that the hassadi family can garrison Milani Castle because of such a complex relationship."

"Then guess who is stationed at Jalali castle?"

Lorraine held his chin and remained silent for a long time. He said tentatively, "I guess it's the representative of Muscat locals."

"Jalali family." Aziz recognized Lorraine's answer, "they are the direct descendants of the great heroes of Oman and the real masters of Muscat. They are not simply subordinate or submissive to the said family. Everyone knows that every person surnamed said must choose a wife surnamed Jalali, which is an oath between the family and the family."

Lorraine thought.

He seems to have caught something just now, but he can't find the source of inspiration after thinking about it. He can only continue to ask Aziz.

"Aziz, you said this story would make you completely betray your country. You said I could get vital inspiration from this story, but I only heard the complicated relationship between the three families and your Imam."

"I believe you are telling the truth, because Colonel hassadi asked me to protect his family to riaman before deciding to become my lobbyist. They can obviously get asylum there. But I don't know how these contents can help me or what they mean."

"Because you still lack a puzzle, my Lord," Aziz smiled. "That puzzle is colonel hassadi you just mentioned."

"Colonel, is it a jigsaw puzzle?"

"Yes, Bashar hassadi is the only true believer of an unfaithful rich family for more than 100 years. He has been the servant of the second prince since his childhood and has established sincere feelings like brothers with the prince. He swore allegiance to the second prince two years ago. This move not only broke the tradition adhered to by the hassadi family, but also made the second prince of his mother family rise suddenly instead of embracing him The great prince of Jalali's noble blood has become the Sultan's successor with the highest cabinet support. "

For a moment, a cold light suddenly appeared in Lorraine's eyes: "Colonel... There is such a deep fetter between him and the second prince?"

"If not," Aziz paused, "is there anyone more noble than him among the friends who have defected to you?"

Lorraine laughed: "Aziz, would you like to join my chamber of Commerce?"

Aziz was stunned: "are you willing to hire an Omani?"

"My chamber of commerce is very complex. There are white, yellow and black people, Europeans, Americans and Africans, people who believe in God, ancestors, Allah and even the Supreme Lord. You may be the first Omani, but I promise you won't be the last."

"I need to think." Aziz chewed his lips and thought for a long time, "where are you going to put me?"

"Vice president of the African branch, and also a deputy section chief in the asset management company of the Federation. You have met your president, Eddie Garman. He is a Viking, that is, a Norwegian who believes in his ancestors."

"It was Mr. Garman... He was in charge of zuwo not long ago, but the slaves began to call him Masila tyrant."

Lorraine offered a lead and asked Aziz to continue his good story.

"That's not an interesting topic." Aziz considered his sentence. "After you completely annihilated the bagala guard, thousands of people, including me, were sent to zuwo as slaves. Some officers tried to provoke a riot with marshal manzeli's authority, but he found out early."

"He erected a cross on the coast, and the officers who planned the riot each whipped three times. For each whip, the marshal was whipped. That time, the marshal was almost killed on the cross. After that, he came to a great understanding and became the strongest defender of zuwo order."

Lorraine asked strangely, "marshal manzeli defected?"

"No, he didn't rebel like me." Aziz laughed, "he just wants to be his slave in peace. Whoever wants to torture him again, he must start first and let the other party die quickly."

Now even Lorraine was amused: "Aziz, I'm still waiting for your answer."

"Exploit your country under the tyrant?" Aziz touched his chin and looked strange. "It sounds very interesting."
