The Ottoman army's strategy of clearing the wilderness, Emperor Chongzhen learned about it from the Grade A eavesdropping seed on his body as early as when Mustafa and others made a decision.

If he wants to stop this, it's relatively simple. Anyway, he now has a lot of cavalry in his hands, so he directly sent them to rush forward to see if the Ottoman magistrate's mansion had the time to go to the fortified wall!

It's just that for Emperor Chongzhen, he didn't care that the Ottomans used the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness against him.

This plan to clear the wilderness is actually a double-edged sword. If you use it well, you can really push a powerful enemy back. Even further, drag down a powerful enemy, so it is possible to turn defeat into victory.

However, whether it is used well or not, since it is used to clear the wilderness, it will have to pay a price. Whether it is the relocation of people, or the taking away of property, destroying houses and fields, this is an act of self-harm. No one would do that, as long as they could.

After paying so much and winning a strong enemy, then everything is okay. But if you don't win the enemy, it's the kind of person who loses his wife and loses his soldiers.

The Ottomans now want to use this plan to clear the wilderness, and it is even the result that Emperor Chongzhen likes to see the most.

Because for him, he wants the land under his feet, not the people on it. The Ottomans moved people by themselves, and they didn't have to be embarrassed by the Ming Dynasty, and how to assimilate them saved a lot of energy.

Moreover, the Ottomans used the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, which would definitely provoke resentment among the people. On the basis of this public opinion, if we occupy this land in the future, we will be able to gain the support of the people. It can be said that Mustafa's decision was a really good assist for Daming.

Of course, Ahmed is not unaware of the side effects of this strategy, but they have no choice in the face of Daming's strength. Perhaps, this is the sorrow of a weak country.

Thinking of these, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile in his heart: The country is strong enough, it is cool enough!

Think about the time when I first crossed, there were thieves inside, there were prisoners outside, plus corrupt officials and corrupt officials, Jin merchants betrayed the country, and under internal and external troubles, it was really difficult! Thanks to the eavesdropping system, we can break the situation and take targeted measures, otherwise, we will really hang the southeast branch!

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but sigh with emotion. At the same time, he is very proud.

It can be said that Daming can have today, it is all his own hard work! Emperor Chongzhen thought so in his heart, and began to look at the other information in the eavesdropping system again.

With this eavesdropping system, although he was in the city of Bitlis, which originally belonged to the Ottomans, he could understand the Ming Dynasty itself, and even know everything that happened on the American continent. This is the point where you can really stay at home, but know what is going on in the world!

Emperor Chongzhen thought as he looked at the information.

On the prince's side, there has been progress in the research and development of electric lights, and he is even working on the cable telegraph. It is estimated that progress will definitely be made in the future.

Suddenly, a message surprised him. After several years of exploration and experimentation, Princess Changping and his wife really succeeded!

"That's great!" Seeing this news, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but shoot the case and praised it loudly.

His move immediately shocked Fang Zhenghua, who was waiting on the side: "Your Majesty, there is good news again?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen listened, turned his head to look at him, smiled and did not tell him, but gave an order: "Pass on Lu Qing and others!" ”

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng was still here, so he and others soon rushed to meet him.

After the salute, Emperor Chongzhen said to them: "It's been a long time since I came out, it's time to go back." ”

In all dynasties, there has never been an emperor who has left Beijing for a few years. Emperor Chongzhen's situation is extremely abnormal. For Lu Xiangsheng, of course, he thinks so.

Therefore, at this time, when he heard that Emperor Chongzhen said that he wanted to go back, of course he had no opinion, and even agreed. But no matter what, the things that need to be asked are still to be asked.

Just as Lu Xiangsheng wanted to speak, Emperor Chongzhen took the lead and said to him with a smile: "After I leave, the Qing will be fully responsible for the affairs of the Ottoman Empire. In addition, Qing should focus on restoring the livelihood of the newly laid areas in Persian Province and Yan Qing! ”

"Then on the Ottoman side, is Weichen fighting or defending?" Lu Xiangsheng heard this and hurriedly asked.

Now the situation of the Ming Dynasty is very good, having just defeated hundreds of thousands of Ottoman troops, and morale is high. But the emperor asked him to focus on restoring the people's livelihood, so he couldn't help but confirm it.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and said to him: "The Ottomans are using a plan to clear the wilderness, so let them toss by themselves." I am not in a hurry to ask for Ottoman land, and I can adapt to the details as long as I can ensure the safety of the people's livelihood and put pressure on the Ottomans. ”

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng probably understood.

"If I had not anticipated...... Emperor Chongzhen continued, "the destruction of Persia and the capture of Ottoman territory would have had an impact on the situation in Europe. It remains to be seen how it will be. Those are jackals, so you should be on your guard. If there is a problem, I will definitely take the lead and conquer all the countries that do not obey! ”

Nowadays, on this earth, there are only countries on the European side, and they have not really tasted the iron fist of the Ming Dynasty.

For Lu Xiangsheng, he needed the emperor to go on the expedition, which was his incompetence. Therefore, he didn't say anything on the surface, but in his heart he made up his mind that he must take care of everything by himself and try not to alarm the holy driver.

Then Emperor Chongzhen made arrangements for other generals, and finally ordered Li Laiheng's Seventh Battalion to escort back. The other generals all listened to orders under Lu Xiangsheng.

In addition, Racine's son Mitaff and Punchuk's son Ayuqi also drove to the Daming Jingshi to study in the Jingbei Hall.

While Bitlis's captives were being taken to the Baghdad region, Punchuck and his son were ordered to come to Bitlis. Therefore, I also participated in this meeting.

Hearing Emperor Chongzhen's will, no matter what they thought in their hearts, at least on the surface, they were very happy.

To put it mildly, it seems that their son is a proton, but from the good side, it is the emperor who wants to cultivate their son. For them at this time, of course, they chose to believe the latter.

As for Mitaff and Ayuqi, the two young people, they have long been yearning for the Ming Dynasty. I usually hear all kinds of things from the Ming soldiers from the local area, and I have long been curious. I didn't think much about it at all, so I hurriedly thanked him happily.

The news that Emperor Chongzhen was going back was not officially announced. On the third day they returned to Persia. People who don't know, when they see the holy car passing by, at most they think that Emperor Chongzhen is returning to Zhennancheng, or inspecting the place.

Emperor Chongzhen's return route was to go to Lahore first, where he first explained to the three vassal kings. Then go north to Mingweibao to inspect the livelihood of the people in the lower Volga valley. met with Hong Chengchou and asked him to start preparing for the construction of the railway. After all, he had so many Ottoman prisoners on his side, and he must have enough manpower.

The railway, which had already been built to Luntai, was to be extended all the way to Minweiburg, and then to Persia. The geographical conditions of Dongwu and Yungui are too poor, and the railways cannot be built at all. Even if there were already yellow explosives, it would have been very difficult to build a railroad at this age. It is also for this reason that Emperor Chongzhen can only plan to build the railway to Mingwei Fort first and then go south to Persia.

………………

Not to mention that Emperor Chongzhen went all the way back, let's talk about Europe. In some countries, they had met with the envoys sent by the former Persian emperor Abbas II and received a letter from Abbas II asking for help. Those countries are gloating about this. No matter how alarmist you say, it's their business. It's better to be destroyed, and there is nothing to pursue together anyway.

Even later, such as Austria, the Czech Republic and other countries adjacent to the Ottoman Empire, they have always been shrouded in the shadow of the Ottoman Empire. When they heard that the Ottoman Prime Minister had died in battle and had lost more than 200,000 troops, they simply applauded one by one, and even bluntly said that they had done a good job!

The Holy Roman Empire, knowing that the Ottoman Empire was badly damaged, was even more ready to take action, intending to recover the territory that had been snatched by the Ottoman Empire.

Mustafa knew that they were not as panicked as Abbas II and would go to the Europeans for help.

In addition, Sweden and other countries that attacked Poland were restrained by other countries. In addition, these countries were truly feudal, consisting of various nobles. Therefore, after fighting for a while, I grabbed enough things, so I didn't want to fight.

Under the influence of these factors, this attempt to divide the Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania ended with a humiliating treaty on the Polish side.

And to the west of Europe, France, one of the most powerful countries, is also in the midst of civil strife, the famous Fronde movement, but it is also in its final stage.

The Prince of Condé, who was originally famous in the Thirty Years' War, did not succeed in his rebellion, even if he borrowed troops from Spain or united with the Spanish army to attack France, the final result was a failure.

King Philip IV of Spain authorized Condé to command the Spanish army against France and gave him the title of Luxembourg. According to the original historical development, in the end, nothing was found, and it ended gloomily.

However, in this plane, the situation has changed subtly. Of course, this is naturally brought by Emperor Chongzhen's crossing of the wings, and the actual fan is Portugal, which is allied with the Ming Dynasty.

Previously, the Portuguese had feared that Spain would crush their independence. But unexpectedly, Spain was embroiled in civil strife in France. This made King João IV of Portugal very happy, because it was because of this rebellion that Cardinal Mazarin, a French minister who had not been against him, began to pay attention to him.
