What Mustafa absolutely didn't know was that he didn't actually return empty-handed at all, at least Emperor Chongzhen rewarded him with one thing.

So, just like that, the content of his conversation with the Ottoman border guards was all known to Emperor Chongzhen.

Earlier, he told Mustafa that he could spare the Ottomans with the Black Sea straits as the boundary, and it was indeed true. Because underground oil, mainly in the Baghdad region and on the territory of Persia, there is nothing left after that.

The reason why we have to go to the Black Sea straits is also the protection of the oil zone. You can't say that it's just going to be bounded by underground oil, and you have to have a buffer anyway!

As for the Black Sea straits as the boundary, no longer continue to fight. It's not that it can't be beaten, but it's not necessary. In addition, the Ottomans blocking the European countries can also allow the Ming Dynasty to develop well in the territory that the new occupies so much. After all, he wants to turn these places into real Ming territory, not colonies. In this way, it can be occupied permanently.

However, if the Ottoman Empire cedes such a large territory, as long as there is the slightest possibility, they will definitely not be willing. After all, this side is still the land of the Ottoman Empire.

If you don't want to, you don't want to, if it's too big, it's too big, you can just play it slowly!

Based on this idea, Emperor Chongzhen left Zhennan City, led his troops and set off to the Ottoman border. Without waiting for reinforcements, they took their time, anyway, the territory of Persia was almost stable. Even if there is a situation, you can deal with it in a timely manner.

……………………

Bitlis, the Ottoman border town, was of great military importance as it controlled the main transportation route from the Van basin to Mesopotamia. At the same time, it is also an important town for the Ottoman Empire to deal with the current Ming Dynasty.

In the past, it was known as a heavy army gathering, but in fact it was a bluff, and even later, it was increased from all over the country, but it only reached 120,000 troops, far less than the more than 200,000 troops during the Ottoman Empire's eastward crusade.

And in terms of the elite of the troops, the 120,000 troops are far less than the elite of those armies during the Eastern Crusade. It is for this reason that even if the number of troops in Bitlis is far greater than the Ming army they faced, it is the Ming army soldiers who finally run rampant outside the city, that is, the Cossack Ming army under Razin.

Emperor Chongzhen's goal was to first defeat this important town where the Ottoman army had gathered. In order to do it once and for all, reduce the rush. Before he set out, he sent a decree to Racine to publicize it, saying that he was about to march against Bitlis.

From Zhennan City to Bitlis, it will take a lot of time for the army to march. Emperor Chongzhen felt that he could attract more Ottoman troops to Bitlis's side.

But there is one thing, Emperor Chongzhen would never have imagined. This will start from a few months.

……………………

Tsar Alexei originally wanted to steal chickens and take advantage of the war between the Ottoman Empire and the Ming Dynasty. As a result, he didn't expect that the Ming army was so powerful that he was so frightened that he sent the military supplies he brought with the army to the Ming army, and then fled back to his lair in panic.

Originally, Tsarist Russia was annexed by Sweden and Poland, and after a wave of attacks with Poland, it was already weak enough. If it is done like that, it will make matters worse, and Tsarist Russia will be even weaker.

Seeing no hope of a resurgence, Alexei is naturally worried!

Later, he received news that Poland was in civil unrest, and the Swedish countries took the opportunity to attack Poland again. Seriously, he was moved again, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to participate and reap some benefits.

However, the lesson from the past is to think of some benefits, but as a result, the coffin is lost. If you want to use knives and guns at this time, it will definitely deprive the people of their rations, and if there is another accident, Tsarist Russia will really die!

Therefore, Alexei finally decided to lie dormant, obediently add to the wounds to recuperate, and recuperate.

As a result, he didn't think that a few months later, Poland was still fighting to the death, and several countries had not yet decided the victory or defeat in besieging Poland, but the news from the east was that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom had personally conquered and defeated the army of the Persian Empire, and it was said that he was now ready to destroy Persia.

"Those who commit the Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away." Alexei had to chew on Emperor Ming's words repeatedly, "Could it be, Persia is really going to die, right?" ”

Seriously, he was a little unconvinced. War is not child's play, whoever you say can be destroyed! The Persian Empire was so huge, how could it be so easy to be destroyed!

Despite this, he eventually decided to send spies to see how things were going, rather than passively waiting for news.

As for himself, of course, he still has to add to the wounds, and he has never paid attention to the people's livelihood and accumulated materials for emergencies.

By the summer of the following year, Alexei finally had a little savings, and he was thinking about joining the Polish side and getting some soup to drink. But by this time, the countries were already exhausted, and there were signs of a boycott of war. This made him very unwilling, go on!

However, at this time, the spies reported that the emperor of the state had really destroyed Persia and swallowed the Crimean Khanate, and now that the army was approaching the Ottomans, it was likely to start a new war.

Hearing the news, Alexei was so shocked that he was stupid and stunned for I don't know how long.

Do you really have to say extinguish? The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom really did it!

The Ming army is so powerful, who can stop it?

After coming to his senses, Alexei began to inquire carefully about the state of the battle. Ask as much detail as you can, until Tanma really can't tell.

After that, Alexei was afraid. Because he remembered the words of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom again, it was really not a casual talk, those who committed the Ming Dynasty would be punished even if they were far away!

Thinking back to himself, didn't he also fight with the Ming army in Samararaburg, although he finally signed a contract, in this case, I don't know if it is considered a Ming crime?

Also, the thing that I secretly did before, although I lost my own improvisation, I gave food and grass with both hands and retreated. Can the emperor of the Ming Kingdom be powerful, will he discover his original intention, so as to convict a crime of the Ming Dynasty?

Today's Tsarist Russia, don't say that the emperor of the country is personally conquest, even the commander of the Ming army in Samara Fort has the ability to destroy it, right?

The more he thought about it, the more afraid Alexei became. So, that sorrow, the hair is gray!

On this day, he was worried, and suddenly, like a lightning bolt, split the dark sky, making him feel empowered.

Wasn't there a Turk department and a Cossack department in the Ming army? If you can take refuge like them before the Ming Emperor qualifies Tsarist Russia, will there be no worries about being destroyed?

Besides, today's Tsarist Russia is really too weak. If Sweden had made up its mind to destroy it, and there was no depth to retreat, Tsarist Russia might really be destroyed.

Even if you recuperate again, but Sweden and other countries have been letting you go?

Before, they were playing Poland. Now that it seems to be showing signs of stopping, will Sweden turn its attention to Tsarist Russia?

Thinking so, Alexei no longer hesitated. When you are so weak, you can only have a chance to survive by hugging your thighs. Since you want to hug your thighs, you must hug the thickest thighs!

Thinking so, he no longer hesitated, immediately packed up the treasures that he could get his hands on, and then sent important ministers, regardless of going to Persia, to Samararaburg to find the commander of the Ming army.

Hong Chengchou looked at those rare treasures, and was still a little surprised when he heard the intention of the envoy of Tsarist Russia. Unexpectedly, Tsarist Russia took the initiative to ask to be a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, willing to listen to the words of the Ming Dynasty, and let whoever bites be bitten! Is this still the polar bear that the emperor once commented on?

But with his intelligence, after a little thought, it is actually not difficult to understand. In the current situation of Tsarist Russia, the best way is, of course, a vassal state called the Ming Dynasty. In this way, it can be ensured that when they can't defeat the countries of Western Europe, they will still have the support of the Ming army.

Hong Chengchou had one thing that he couldn't imagine, what made Alexei finally make this decision was that he was afraid that the Ming army would characterize Tsarist Russia as a crime against the Ming Dynasty and send troops to destroy Tsarist Russia.

Although Hong Chengchou understood the meaning of Tsarist Russia, he couldn't make the decision about this matter, so he wrote a report and sent troops to escort the Tsarist envoy to Zhennan City, and went to tell Emperor Ming himself.

Thus, the news spread in the Volga River valley as well.

Upon hearing this, the people of the original Turghut and Cossack tribes were filled with pride and admired the foresight of Punchuk and Razin.

Look, Tsarist Russia is not as smart as us, and after the first step of submission, Tsarist Russia will follow suit.

Now we are the Ming people, and they have come to us to beg to beg!

The strength of the Ming Dynasty has undoubtedly made the people have a sense of pride.

This news, after it spread, also became known to the tribes in the Polish and Lithuanian Commonwealth who were rebelling against the rule of the aristocracy. That's right, why don't you learn from the methods of Tsarist Russia, but hug a big thick leg, so that you won't be bullied, and you don't have to fight so hard!

Especially those Cossack tribes, because of the presence of Razin's part, they felt that they should take refuge. So, all the weak tribes in various places sent envoys, with their most precious things, to the court to meet the emperor of the Ming Kingdom. Even some tribes simply moved to the territory of the Ming army.

Emperor Chongzhen wiped out hundreds of thousands of Ottoman Empire's Eastern Expeditionary Army, and destroyed the Eastern Expeditionary Army led by the Persian Emperor, and directly attacked the territory of Persia, swept everything, and leveled Persia with the momentum of swallowing thousands of miles. Such a major historical event finally and inevitably affected all the countries and tribes here in Eastern Europe.

The envoys of various countries and tribes led by the envoys of Tsarist Russia were like streams converging into a river and flowing to the south of the city.
