Chapter 591: A Canal

Lystemm glared at Wang Yue angrily, and said word by word: "The Osman is very big, but the Osman will not sell his land, not an inch!" ”

Wang Yue laughed loudly: "Yes, if your country doesn't sell it, I will take it myself!" ”

"You!" Lysteme gritted his teeth, "Master Taishi, don't forget the covenant between us!" ”

Wang Yue smiled even more happily, "Of course there is a covenant, but you didn't conquer Vienna, you were defeated!" ”

"Nope!"

Lystem said categorically: "We are not defeated, those infidels have died more, their cities are on the verge of destruction, their courage has been lost, they are as easy to deal with as sheep, as long as we give us a little more time, the Ottoman army can conquer Vienna!" ”

Wang Yue bowed his head frequently, "Thank you for the information, but you don't need your country to conquer such a hard thing as Vienna." ”

Rum looked at Wang Yue in surprise, "You, what do you mean?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that you want to lend Egypt to the Ming Dynasty as a forward base for our attack on Europe, that's all."

"You, you still want to occupy the Ottoman land!" Lystem gritted his teeth, "You, you are so despicable! ”

Wang Yue sneered disdainfully, "The more hoarse you are, like a madman, the more it shows that you are weak-hearted." The loss of hundreds of thousands of horses and horses, tens of millions of military spending, with the size of your country, it is not easy to digest it. ”

"Also, I have already revised the book for China, and I still need to negotiate about the trade between the two countries. As you know, Your Majesty and I have inspected here, and a complete shipping route has been established, and the Ming navy has taken control of everything, and if you are not willing to continue to cooperate, we can go to the Cape of Good Hope and transport things to France. By the way, aren't you still in the Blasphemous Alliance with France? Do you want to part ways too? ”

……

Constantinople.

Suleiman the Magnificent returned to the heart of the empire, and before he led his expedition, he was in high spirits and ambitious, eager to swallow all of Europe.

But when he failed again, the hero's sideburns were full of gray hair, and the high-intensity war and the tense nerves at all times made His Majesty the Emperor exhausted.

In fact, throughout history, it is rare for a large empire like the Ottomans to maintain a large territory for a long time and be full of martial virtues, especially in the heart of the Eurasian continent, which is extremely difficult.

This place of yellow sand has given birth to too many powerful empires, and these empires, without exception, all disappeared quickly.

Only the Ottomans have been around for hundreds of years and will continue to exist!

It was more important to preserve the empire than to capture Vienna.

"The commercial ties with the Ming Dynasty cannot be severed, and the alliance with France cannot be broken!"

Suleiman gives the following bottom line.

Only by trading with the Ming Dynasty can they get the goods in demand and the money to raise soldiers.

And an alliance with France could force the Habsburgs lest they go mad and start the crusade again......

It can be said that Wang Yue has firmly pinched the weakness of His Majesty the Emperor.

If you don't give it, you won't be able to!

"Lystem, you go to meet the Ming Dynasty Taishi again, Egypt can lend them temporarily, but the Ming Dynasty will also provide us with steel weapons, you can talk about the specific amount!"

"Yes!"

Lystem went down, leaving Suleiman alone, and the Emperor's face grew darker and darker, and suddenly, he grabbed a delicate jade carving, threw it to the ground, and then dropped a pen holder.

The debris on the ground showed his angry heart.

Over the years, the Ottoman Empire has continued to expand, become invincible, and thriving...... As a result, this time not only failed with the army, but was also knocked hard by the Ming people, and he became the biggest loser.

It's so hateful!

What to do? Go to the Ming to settle scores, or continue the assault on Vienna? It doesn't seem to work, he has to find a punching bag!

Suleiman pondered for a moment, took a scimitar from his hand, and thought for a long time, before finally letting him take it to the Pasha!

A playmate from childhood to adulthood, the one he trusts the most.

After ascending the throne, he was promoted to the rank of Grand Vizier, the same prime minister. It can be understood as the Ottoman version of Wang Yue.

Coincidentally, this "Wang Yue" also assisted the emperor to do a lot of things, and at the same time offended too many powerful people, and finally those people joined forces to kill Pasha.

Suleiman could only appease people with a fake, and still trusted Pasha in private.

Forming an alliance with Daming is exactly what this guy is advocating for, but unfortunately it failed.

Is it Pasha's fault?

Not necessarily!

But someone had to pay the price, and there was no second choice but Pasha.

His men went down with scimitars, and in the evening, they sent a human head to the emperor, and it was Pasha! And underneath this human head, there is also a piece of paper, which is Pasha's last words.

Suleiman took it, and there was only one sentence on it: You are far worse than the Ming Emperor!

Syllable!

Suleiman slammed the man's head to the ground and rolled all the way to the corner.

It so happened that Pasha's eyes seemed to be open, and he was looking at Suleiman with a contemptuous look, as if to say, Look, I'm right!

"Damn! Damn it! ”

Like a raging lion, Suleiman roared: "Kill all the Pasha's family, and leave not a single one!" ”

……

The Ottoman bloody storm, Wang Yue didn't have much heart to interfere, he now has a very important guest to receive.

"Lord Ouyang, it's been hard all the way." Wang Yue smiled and said: "When you meet an old acquaintance in a foreign country, I will cook it myself, get a few dishes, and drink some wine, as for Your Majesty, if you don't like it, don't call it, it's enough for the two of us." ”

Ouyang Bijin's old face was flushed, and he waved his hand again and again!

"Taishi is wrong to love, I am now a grass people, and, and ......" Ouyang Bijin lowered his head, this matter is too embarrassing.

He presided over the construction of the railway, but he did not notice that there were many local railway stations that were seriously exceeded...... In fact, it is not only the railway station, but also many water conservancy projects, the construction of city walls, and the restoration of historical monuments.

"Taishi, I, I swear to God, I didn't take a penny, but, looking at the results of those investigations, I can't have a clear conscience. I feel like a heinous corrupt official. The imperial court just dismissed me from my official position, and it really cheapened me. ”

Wang Yue couldn't help but chuckle, "Lord Ouyang, although you are in charge of the Ministry of Engineering, you can't do everything in detail. In the final analysis, it is the original bureaucratic governance system that has gone wrong, and a clean person like you is just powerless. And those with ill intentions are wantonly enriching their own pockets. ”

"To solve this problem, it is certainly not enough to rely on the top down, relying on the existing officials." Wang Yue said with a smile: "The crown prince dismissed Lord Ouyang from his official position, in fact, he was telling others that with Ouyang Bijin's incorruptibility, there are still shortcomings, and if others resist reform, the end can be imagined." ”

Ouyang Bijin has also been in officialdom for many years, so he naturally understands that what Wang Yue said is true, but he is regarded as the chicken that scares the monkeys, and he feels uneasy!

Wang Yue smiled and said: "Lord Ouyang, there is nothing else, we can't be slumped because of a little thing, I happen to have a big project here, I want to ask for your help." ”

Wang Yue immediately took out a map, "Look, this is the Mediterranean Sea, this is the Red Sea, there is only a narrow section in the middle, if you can dig a canal out, how much can the whole route be shortened?" ”

Ouyang Bijin is an old science and engineering man, and he understands it at a glance.

"Taishi, it is indeed the most suitable to build a canal here, and in my opinion, it is not just for the sake of navigation, right?"

Wang Yue smiled: "Clever! Lord Ouyang, think about it, if this canal is repaired, whose will the entire western land, the southern shore of the Mediterranean Sea, belong to? ”

Ouyang Bijin's eyes lit up, and he stroked his palms and laughed, "I have known about the Taishi's generosity for a long time, but when I saw it today, I still couldn't help but be amazed, and I threw myself to the ground!" It's just that the canal will be built, will the Ottomans agree? ”

Wang Yue said loudly: "Do they dare not agree? Otherwise, if you just lose hundreds of thousands of horses and horses, and continue to fight with us, that will be a dead end! ”

Ouyang Bijin nodded vigorously, "I don't care about anything else, I'll go to survey the route tomorrow." The first half of my life has been ruined, and the second half of my life depends on this canal! ”

Ouyang Bijin did not hesitate and bet everything.

Wang Yue laughed, "I believe we will all win!" Wang Yue took the initiative to get up and said with a smile: "I'll go to the sailor to take a look, and I'll get a braised tuna when I go back." ”
