899 Ottoman Empire
"Hehe, this is not simple, the grandmaster of the Ming Royal Academy, that is really a scholar, of course, you have to stay away from officialdom and noise!" Liu Gongzi finally reminded them.
When these tea guests in the teahouse heard this, they all suddenly realized.
"I see, it's really quiet outside the city!"
"That kid in my family wants to take a scientific expedition, and I have been sent to the countryside, so I'm afraid he won't pay attention!"
ββ¦β¦β
In the midst of the discussion, an elderly tea guest suddenly said: "However, this is set up outside the city, in case there is a military disaster or something......
Obviously, he went through the early years of being a prisoner and a thief, and it seems that he was deeply impressed, and put forward his significance. It's just that before he could say this, he was drowned out by the saliva of a group of people.
"Soldier disaster, what other military disaster is there now?"
"That is, if today, I am the only one, and it would be good not to fight others!"
"But no, who can be the enemy today? Also the military disaster, believe it or not, the emperor destroyed them so much that they didn't even know their ancestors? β
"Now the surroundings are all our Ming. Where do you know the borders of our Ming Dynasty? Arctic Ocean, Minweiburg ......"
ββ¦β¦β
Originally, this old tea guest still wanted to distinguish a sentence, when the Ming Dynasty was in decline and flourished, maybe there would be a military disaster, but he didn't have time to speak, so he could only patronize and wipe the saliva from others, and finally had to shut up helplessly.
Now Da Ming, if you want to say this kind of thing, you are really looking for spray!
His worries, in fact, Emperor Chongzhen had already considered it. With the progress of the times, if there is really a military disaster, it is impossible to prevent the attack of the army by relying on the tall city walls.
Besides, with the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, the science and technology have begun to crush other countries, at least in the foreseeable future, only the Ming Dynasty will be able to suppress the enemy.
Even if the Ming Dynasty has an economic crisis or something in the future, it will be easy to divert domestic contradictions and fight against Europe and other countries. The so-called reincarnation of the dynasty in three hundred years, after opening up so many territories, how can it be buffered, right?
Of course, Emperor Chongzhen did not dare to guarantee that the Ming Dynasty would really be a thousand generations and there would be no war.
However, isn't the Ming Dynasty a two-capital system? This Daming Royal Academy, which is used for the study of knowledge, plans to wait for this Jingshi to get on the right track, and then build one in Nanjing. Then the library inside, the research knowledge, the published papers, etc., are all in duplicate, and there is also a collection in Nanjing.
If something happens in the future, it can't happen to both sides at the same time, right? The two-pronged preservation method can always retain the essence of Ming culture as much as possible!
Now improve the treatment of the Ming Royal Academy, improve the qualifications, let him be called the yamen admired by the world, and widely advertised, such as let Liu Gongzi and other people who belong to the East Factory to publicize, is to raise the real scholars to the point that everyone yearns for, so as to provide a steady stream of talents for the Ming Royal Academy.
In Emperor Chongzhen's vision, any official yamen was not as important as this Ming Imperial Academy. The output here will lead the Ming Dynasty all the way to the sea of stars.
Therefore, he will gradually set goals for each category in the Ming Royal Academy for them to study. The future path has been predetermined for them. As for what is beyond his knowledge, it is only an alien civilization, and this cannot be managed.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
While Emperor Chongzhen was busy with this, the butterfly effect caused by his crossing also began to change the Ottoman Empire far away in the Middle East.
At this juncture, the real head of the Ottoman Empire was not the young Mehmed IV, but the Sultan of Kassem, their queen mother. This is the last and most famous of the Sudanese feminist era.
These empress dowagers are a little different from Wu Zetian, they like to dominate the harem, but they are not very interested in politics. Therefore, no one has the idea of being a female emperor, just holding power in their hands.
Against the backdrop of the Empress Dowager's reign, the deposed Emperor, and the succession of young grandsons, the Ottoman Empire was politically corrupt, corrupt, and even revolted.
Therefore, even though the strength of the Persian Empire was greatly reduced, the Ottoman Empire did not reap much benefit. This annoyed Aurangzeb, who had fled to the Ottoman Empire, and became disillusioned with the Ottoman Empire.
In the end, he went to the rebels in the Ottoman Empire to assist the rebels in their rebellion, thinking that with the power of the rebels, when the time was ripe, he would kill the puppets and make a comeback.
Not to mention, with his assistance, the strength of the rebels suddenly increased, which made the Ottoman Empire finally sober up a year early.
For this reason, the Empress Dowager promoted Koplu?? Muhammad Pasha became the Prime Minister of the Empire in order to change the current situation in the Ottoman Empire and restore the authority of the Central Empire.
This Koplu?? Muhammad Pasha was a man of real ability, and in his original history, he put down rebellions, suppressed hostile elements, reorganized the army, defeated the Venetian fleet, and really restored the power of the central government of the Ottoman Empire, and became the founder of a prominent family.
In the following centuries, the de facto rulers of the Ottoman Empire, its prime minister, came from his family. It's not his son, it's his son-in-law or something.
This Koplulu was born in the countryside of Albania, and he is a person who has climbed up from the bottom, a bit similar to the kind of Daming Hong Chengchou, who has been promoted at the first level, and is an experienced and capable guy.
As soon as he took office, he immediately installed cronies in important positions so that his orders could be carried out. It is necessary to vigorously rectify the rule of officials and the army. All of a sudden, the central government of the Ottoman Empire really had to take on a new look.
The Pasha of Aleppo, Abaza Hasan was the leader of the rebels, and because he was in power as the leader of the fierce mercenary force, and with the assistance of Aurangzeb, he had a good momentum, but he was quickly suppressed by the scheming Koplulu.
Poor Aurangzeb, before he could even think about killing the puppet, was destroyed, and he himself, of course, was also destroyed by Koplulu.
By this time, the Ottoman Empire had regained the strength of its old empire and began to threaten its neighborhood. According to the original history, Copleus would then organize an expedition against Venice and win the war.
But before he could make a decision, an envoy from the Ottoman vassal state, the Crimean Khanate, came to ask for an audience.
"What, the Bukhara Khanate was destroyed by the Ming army?" CorplΓΌr was taken aback.
Before, when he heard that the Mughal Empire was destroyed by the Ming Kingdom, he was actually shocked. However, after all, there is a Persian Empire, and there is no need for the emperor not to be anxious and the eunuchs to be in a hurry, so let the Persian Empire have a headache first. He was busy himself, so he didn't care.
As a result, I didn't expect that the Ming Kingdom would be so powerful, so aggressive, and even destroy another country. In addition, before that, he occupied Samara Fort and forced Tsar Alexei to sign a treaty on land reparations. At this time, he was truly aware of the threat of the Ming Kingdom.
"Yes, sir!" The envoy of the Crimean Khanate anxiously said, "Now that the Ming army has not collected at night, it has appeared in the territory of the Despicable Country, I don't know when they will attack, and I ask the Lord to be the master of the Contempt Country and help the Despicable State drive away this hungry wolf!" β
When Koplu heard this, his brow furrowed. Because in his original plan, he had no intention of developing his forces to the east. He was going west to fight with the Christian nation.
However, Ming's aggressiveness in the east made him feel threatened, and he had to reconsider his plans.
Of course, it is not so easy to change his mind for a character like him.
The existence of the vassal state is to pay tribute to the suzerainty and become a barrier to the suzerain. The Ming State has not yet fought the vassal state, and the suzerainty is going to stand up for the vassal country, and the vassal king is not his own son, so he will not do that.
In case the Ming State has no intention of attacking the Crimean Khanate, and runs to question it himself, what is the matter? Today's Ottoman Empire, not yet the empire it was at its strongest, can defy all enemies. If you really want to do that, if you recruit the Ming army, which originally did not fight the Crimean Khanate, you will not be asking for trouble!
But if you don't care, if the Ming army launches a surprise attack, before you can react, you will destroy most of the Crimean Khanate. Before he sent his own troops, he destroyed the Crimean Khanate, so that the flames of war could burn to the Ottoman Empire itself, which is what Koprulu does not want to see.
Just as he was hesitating and not yet making a final decision, he suddenly came to report that the Persian Empire, the messenger of Abbas II had arrived.
This is an old rival of the Ottoman Empire, so to speak, from a feud. So what did Abbas II send people for?
Puzzled, in the end, he officially met with the envoy, that is, the queen mother, and the emperor was there, and met with the envoy of the Persian Empire.
What they didn't expect was that although the current Ottoman Empire was pressing the Persian Empire, the humility and low posture of the envoys of the Persian Empire were unprecedented.
The queen mother of Shengming, the wise emperor, the virtuous prime minister, anyway, all the sycophants that can be photographed have been photographed, and the weight of the gifts given is also very heavy. Abbas II also expressed his willingness to submit to the Ottoman Empire and be reconciled for eternity.
This situation made the queen mother of the Ottoman Empire very happy. What many generations of Ottoman emperors did not do, did when she was in power. Even if she is not interested in outside politics, she is still very proud.
However, Ko Plulu felt that something was wrong, and there must be a demon when things went wrong. So, he directly asked for his intentions.
