Wherever the Ming army went, the Ottoman army in the city of Constantinople was defeated and retreated, unable to resist the attack of the Ming army in the slightest. 天〉籁『W』W.』 ⒉

"Smack! Syllable! ----"More than a dozen Ming soldiers opened fire at the Ottoman soldiers who were fleeing in front of them, and immediately killed five or six more Ottoman soldiers who were fleeing slowly.

The Ming army advanced towards the Ottoman palace in the center of Constantinople at a very fast pace, and in order to avoid accidentally injuring their own people, the thirty warships on the sea had stopped bombarding Constantinople.

The purpose of the Ming army was not to capture the entire Constantinople, but to besiege the palace of the Ottoman Empire, and besiege the Ottoman emperor and Ottoman ministers in the palace.

At the same time, the Ottoman army was defeated, and the news that the Ming army had entered the city also reached the ears of the Ottoman Emperor, causing panic among the Ottoman Emperor and the Ottoman courtiers.

"Your Majesty, the Ming army is already less than a thousand meters away from the palace!" An Ottoman general came to report urgently.

The Ottoman emperor and his courtiers turned pale with fear.

"It's over, the empire is over!" At this moment, the Ottoman Emperor did not have the original anger and madness, because the 70,000 troops he sent madly failed, not only did not kill all the Ming soldiers who climbed 6, but were defeated by the Ming soldiers who climbed 6, and it was extremely fast, so fast that the Ottoman Emperor had not slowed down, and the news of the defeat of the Ottoman army came.

The army of the Ming Dynasty is really so powerful! The Ottoman Emperor was already powerless, full of deep despair.

"Your Majesty, run away, escape from Constantinople, you can't be caught by the Ming army!" Some Ottoman officials urgently persuaded that the Ottoman emperor really could not be captured by the Ming army, otherwise the Ottoman Empire could be directly destroyed.

Whether the Ottoman Emperor agreed or not, a group of terrified Ottoman ministers and some Ottoman court guards escorted the Ottoman Emperor to escape from Constantinople.

However, the Ming army moved faster, and before the Ottoman emperor could escape from the palace, the palace was surrounded by the Ming army on three sides. Ming soldiers set up machine guns at various intersections of the palace passages, and as long as anyone dared to rush out, they immediately killed them with machine guns.

----A group of palace guards who had just rushed to the exit were killed by machine guns.

The bullet passed through the bodies of these palace guards, bringing out a wisp of blood from their backs. Behind them, it was the Ottoman Emperor and others who had fled here, watching the guards in front of them being swept away in pieces, and the Ottoman Emperor and some Ottoman ministers retreated in horror.

The Ottoman palace was surrounded by the Ming army, and the tens of thousands of Ottoman troops scattered throughout the city of Constantinople did not dare to come to the rescue of the Ottoman emperor, even if some of the more loyal people came with soldiers, they also died under the machine guns of the Ming army.

The Ming army besieged but did not attack, and did not enter the palace and seize the meaning of the Ottoman Emperor to directly destroy the Ottoman Empire.

The purpose of the Ming Dynasty was not to destroy the Ottoman Empire directly, otherwise it would not have sent only 5,000 soldiers to follow the fleet, but only to destroy the Ottoman Empire's maritime power, and at the same time squeeze the last bit of oil and water from the Ottoman Empire.

Therefore, after besieging the Ottoman Palace, the Ming army declared the crimes of the Ottoman Empire in the city of Constantinople, stating that the punishment of the Ming Dynasty for sending troops to the Ottoman Empire was to punish the Ottoman Empire, and the underlying meaning was to tell the Ottoman Empire that the Ming did not directly destroy the Ottoman Empire.

Constantinople was the core of the Ottoman Empire, with a prosperous economy and a large population, although the Ottoman Empire had fallen, but there were many merchants from all over the world, and there were a few people who knew Chinese, and the Ming army itself also brought one or two interpreters who knew Ottoman to come.

After the translation of these people, the Ottomans finally knew the reason why the Ming Dynasty attacked the Ottoman Empire, which turned out to be because the envoys who sent the Ming Dynasty were rude and arrogant in the Ming Dynasty, and even threatened the Ming Dynasty.

In the palace, the Ottoman emperor scolded that whether this reason was true or not, the Ming army had now entered Constantinople and besieged him, the Ottoman emperor, in the palace.

The Ottoman Emperor was so furious that he vowed to skin the envoy sent to the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, while being angry, the Ottoman Emperor also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, the Ming Dynasty did not come directly to destroy his Ottoman Empire, otherwise the Ming soldiers outside would have been killed a long time ago, and he didn't think that the palace guards in the palace alone could resist the Ming army outside.

The Ottoman officials who followed the Ottoman emperor also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, since the Ming Dynasty is not here to destroy my Ottoman Empire, then how to let the Ming army withdraw now is the most important thing!" An Ottoman official said to the Ottoman emperor in shock.

The Ottoman Emperor nodded, and then sent someone out to ask the Ming army besieging the palace how to get the Ming army to withdraw from Constantinople.

The commander of the Ming army waited for the Ottoman emperor to send someone to negotiate peace.

Immediately, the two sides began to negotiate peace.

The Ottoman Empire naturally hoped that the Ming army would withdraw as soon as possible, and the Ming side first reprimanded the Ottoman Empire for its provocation to the Ming Dynasty, and then said that the Ming Dynasty had spent countless amounts of military food and money on this expedition, and asked the Ottoman Empire to 'compensate'!

That is to say, the Ottoman Empire should bear the military expenses of the Ming Dynasty's expedition to the Ottoman Empire and so on.

The Ottoman Emperor was almost so angry that a mouthful of blood spurted out, it was so hateful!

The Ottoman emperor wanted to scold the Ming generals who came to negotiate, but when he thought of the thousands of Ming soldiers surrounding the palace, he didn't have the courage after all. No matter how unwilling he was, under the threat of the Ming army, the Ottoman emperor could only choose to compromise.

In the 31st year of the Ming Dynasty, on March 26, the Ming Dynasty signed the Treaty of Constantinople with the Ottoman Empire.

The treaty stipulated that the Ottoman Empire apologized to the Ming Dynasty and paid all the expenses of the Ming expedition to the Ottoman Empire, a total of 12 million silver coins, to be paid in one lump sum, and the two countries concluded friendship from then on.

The hearts of the Ottoman monarchs and ministers are dripping blood, such an indemnity almost makes the Ottoman Empire, which is about to collapse, even the Ottoman Empire's treasury can't afford to pay such an indemnity, so it can only temporarily levy it from the Ottoman people, and mortgage a large number of treasures collected by the Ottoman royal family in the palace for hundreds of years to the Ming Dynasty.

The Ottoman emperor didn't want to give, and the Ottoman ministers didn't want to give either, but unfortunately if they didn't get the compensation, it was impossible for the Ming army to withdraw from Constantinople, and it could enter the palace at any time, threatening the safety of the Ottoman royal family.

When these treasures were delivered to the Ming army, the Ottoman Emperor almost fainted in distress.

A large number of treasures treasured by the royal family for hundreds of years, even if the ten-year war with the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the large consumption of national strength, the Ottoman Emperor was not willing to take it out as military funds, but now he has lost all of them to the Ming Dynasty, how can he not feel distressed.

It took two months for the Ming army to loot enough indemnities before slowly withdrawing from Constantinople and returning to the Americas6 with these indemnities.
