Chapter 577: The Beginning of the World War

The three countries are united, these are three powerful countries, with unparalleled wealth, brave and fearless soldiers, and firm determination, the three countries will use all their strength to achieve their goals, unstoppable, unmatched......

Obviously, such a middle two expression, of course, is in the Ottoman style, and it is said that their Suleiman the Magnificent was also a poet, maybe they are also popular!

Zhu Houxi wrote a long letter of state, stamped it with a jade seal, handed it to Lystime, and then asked Wang Yue to send them away.

When they arrived at the dock, Wang Yue prepared rich gifts for them, the most valuable of which was bird's nest, which was packed in a total of ten boxes. This is a tribute to the Ming Emperor, for the friendship between the two countries, given to Suleiman the Magnificent, just highlighting the friendship between the two countries.

"Lord Pasha, please be sure to take care of it, as long as the two countries can work together, there is nothing that cannot be done!" After Wang Yue finished speaking, he left.

As for the old man, he was dumbfounded.

How did he see it?

The Pasha is dead, and even if he doubts, he should doubt Suleiman the Magnificent?

What went wrong?

The old man couldn't figure it out at all, he only felt that Wang Yue was unfathomable, could it be that he was in the Ottoman Empire, and he also had a lot of eyeliner and could understand the inside story?

But the problem is that only a few people know his identity, how can this be?

Old Pasha was messy.

……

"Wang Yue, how can you guess that he is not Suleiman?" Zhu Houxi asked curiously.

Wang Yue laughed, "Your Majesty, it's the answer you told me." ”

"Me? Tell you what? ”

"Of course, Your Majesty has left the crown prince in charge of the country."

Zhu Houxi was puzzled...... Wang Yue smiled and told Zhu Houxi that the Ottoman Empire did not have a very perfect system of succession to the throne, and once when the old emperor died, the princes would compete to enter the capital, and whoever seized the opportunity would be the monarch. And once he ascends the throne, he will decisively kill his brothers.

The Ottoman rules did not see any benefit other than to avoid the expansion of the clan.

Every time the old and the new alternate, it is the most dangerous time for the empire, brothers kill, monarchs and ministers intrigue, fight for power and profit, all the means that can be thought of, will be used.

"Suleiman is not too young, he does not dare to leave the Ottoman easily, and he does not have the courage and self-confidence of His Majesty. And forming an alliance with Daming may not be such a smooth thing. The only way to do this is to let the absolute henchman Pasha, who is already dead, come forward. ”

Zhu Houxi frowned, bowed slightly, Wang Yue's brain was flexible enough, "According to this view, the Pasha who died in the Ottoman country should be a substitute for the dead ghost." Looking at it this way, Suleiman still has feelings and righteousness. ”

"After all, is it a generation of heroes!" Wang Yue laughed and said, "It's just that he can't compare to His Majesty's heart!" ”

Zhu Houxi gave him a big white eye, isn't this nonsense?

When it comes to treating his friends, who can compare to him, but it turned out to be a kick on the nose and face of the surnamed Wang, which is really hateful! Zhu Houxi almost wanted to beat Wang Yue to relieve his anger.

Wang Yue also saw it and hurriedly changed the topic.

"Your Majesty, according to the pact we signed with the Ottomans, we will provide the Ottomans with a loan of three million yuan to support their war in Europe. And the Ottomans opened Egypt to us, and allowed us to build a canal with the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean, and gave us the convenience of trade and investment, which is a good business, but I am afraid it will be difficult to implement. ”

Zhu Houxi snorted, "Needless to say, if the Ottoman wins a big victory, how can he give us the benefits?" For us, how can we be satisfied with a canal that does not even have drawings! ”

The monarchs and ministers looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

As two out-and-out foxes, what they want is not a covenant at all, as long as they can fight according to their vision, this is enough!

"It's time for us to go, to meet with Meda, and find a way to make peace with Persia."

……

A few years later, when people look back at the world pattern after 20 years of Jiajing, they can't help but marvel, it is like a mysterious force pushing the Ming Dynasty to the top of the world.

Everywhere fell into war, only the Confucian cultural circle blessed by the Ming Dynasty was unharmed, and not only that, but the Confucian cultural circle also expanded to North and South America and Oceania, and the territory of civilization more than doubled, which is simply an incredible achievement...... Maybe this is the legendary destiny!

The first to act was the Ottoman Empire.

They had long coveted European lands and regarded the Habsburgs as mortal enemies. The waves set off by France had a strong impact on the ruling order of the Habsburgs.

When describing the Great Voyage, people will say that it is Spain and Portugal that started the Age of Discovery, which is of course true, but it ignores one thing, the Spanish royal family at that time was a member of the Habsburg family.

This is a strange family, they originated in Switzerland, they were just a small nobleman, and then they got a fief in Austria, and they continued to branch out on this basis.

Others expand their territory by fighting, but they expand their territory by marriage.

As a result, for hundreds of years, the family ruled over a large part of the territory around Austria, including Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands.

Like octopuses, they controlled the most lands in Europe, and even the first empire on which the sun never set.

The territory owned by the Habsburgs, which was located in three directions, from the south, east, and north, blocked the path of French expansion. In addition, the Ottoman Empire, which occupied Constantinople, advanced into Europe and ran head-on with the Habsburgs entrenched in the Danube.

It is precisely because of the common enemy that France, the great filial son of the Catholic Church, did not hesitate to form a blasphemous alliance with the Ottomans to jointly deal with the Habsburgs.

This was the situation before Da Ming's involvement.

Now that Da Ming is involved, this alliance has become a hundred times more terrifying!

In the past, the alliance between France and the Ottomans was not coordinated, it was very loose, and there were contradictions between them.

But now with the participation of the Ming Dynasty, he first coordinated the relations with Persia, relieved the threat from the east for the Ottomans, and provided the Ottomans with loans and commercial help.

With the support of the Ming Dynasty, the Ottomans quickly gathered 300,000 horses and marched from Constantinople into Hungary, with the advance directed towards Vienna.

And this was only the army, and on the naval side, the Ottomans had assembled five hundred warships and were ready to attack Sardinia.

Don't look at Spain, which has opened up new shipping routes and has advanced navigation technology, but their navy is really inferior to the Ottomans, at most it is only between the two.

The Ottomans advanced by land and water, and Suleiman the Magnificent, who was already more than half a hundred years old, personally commanded his troops and pressed towards Europe with overwhelming momentum.

Overnight, the skies over Europe were covered with clouds and miserable rain, and the Habsburg Empire was threatened like never before.

……

"We come with good faith, hoping that Your Excellency the Archon will stand in defence of Western civilization, suspend the war, and if we cooperate, we will be able to thwart the most vicious enemy and drive the infidels out of Europe."

Hawkins just sneered at the Viennese envoy.

In the past, he had formed a new bureaucratic system at the suggestion of Xu Jie, and he recognized himself as an archon, and elected fifteen executive officers to assist him in implementing the decrees. As for Xu Jie and Yan Shifan, this is to be hired as consultants.

From top to bottom, after combing through the territory under his rule, Hawkins is confident that the Paris Basin has had a bumper harvest in the past two years.

After acquiring the land, the peasants of France were so enthusiastic that they were reluctant to rest in their cultivation. It not only filled its own granary, but also filled the warehouses in the army.

Hawkins has already calculated in detail that if he wants, he can mobilize 100,000 horses at any time and fight continuously for more than half a year!

I have to say that Daming's set really works.

Hawkins had already ordered the establishment of the College of Paris and the University of France, following the example of the Ming Dynasty, to introduce Confucianism as the main curriculum.

Xu Jie was specially invited to serve as the head of the mountain, and he could finally be above board and cultivate talents that met the expectations of the Ming Dynasty.

"Go and tell Charles V that France will not tolerate being torn apart. I will soon send troops against the army in the south that is still loyal to the king. I will sweep away all feudal remnants of France. I would also support the Netherlands' secession from Spain. We in France will not compromise with the feudal theocracy of Europe, each and every one of us is a brave and fearless warrior! Victory, or death, we're ready! ”

He grabbed a saber, threw it to the messenger, and sneered: "Take this knife back, if I fail, use this knife, cut off my head, if I win, you let Charlie judge himself, I hope he can die like a great monarch!" ”

Lunatic!

The envoy's lips were blue with anger, and these Frenchmen were simply unreasonable.

"Are you going to rebel against God?" The messenger asked angrily.

"God?" Hawkins laughed, "Non-existent, tell you!" The French parliament has passed that we reject any religion and interfere in our decision-making. So...... Wait for war! ”
