935 The territory of the Ming Dynasty

Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen had an idea in his heart.

………………

Mustafa arranged to be in the post house in Zhennan City, waiting for the summons of the Ming Emperor, but there was no movement for a long time, which made him a little anxious. Three days later, I couldn't help but ask the officials of the post house, and the reply I got was that there had been a transfer in the city in the past few days, and the emperor was not available.

Mustafa listened and hurriedly asked what kind of transfer it was? The answer I got was not to ask, and I wouldn't say it if I asked!

This made him depressed, so he had to continue to wait.

This person is stuffed in the room, and there is no entertainment to distract him, so he is easy to think blindly. If you have a little more associative ability, you may even scare yourself to death.

Mustafa didn't scare himself to death, but it was about the same. Because he guessed that now that the territory of Persia is already peaceful, what can be moved? The transfers that can be made can only be related to the Ottomans!

He thought a lot about it.

Finally, after another two days, I finally got a notice to enter the palace to meet the Emperor of Ming.

Along the way, looking at the Persian-style palace, thinking that the master came from the Far East, this made Mustafa really feel a lot of emotion. Could it be, one day, the owner of the palace of the Ottoman Empire will also be replaced, right?

As soon as he thought of this, he quickly shook his head and dismissed this thought, it was terrible!

It didn't take long to arrive at the main hall where Emperor Chongzhen was, and Mustafa hurriedly paid homage with the highest Ottoman etiquette. In the process, he peeked at the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom above.

I saw a majestic middle-aged man, who was reading the chapter with a red pen, as if there was no envoy from another big country underneath.

Mustafa's first reaction to this situation was to be very angry. As an emissary of the Ottoman Empire, how could he have been so neglected by the monarchs of other countries?

However, it was just such a moment of anger, and before even the anger in his heart could be reflected on his expression, the anger disappeared immediately. Because he understands the purpose of his coming, he is here to ask for others, not to give people faces. What integrity, what righteousness is awe-inspiring, in the face of strength, it can really only sweep into the corners.

Therefore, although he realized that the Ming Emperor was rude, he did not dare to follow the rudeness, and played in a respectful tone: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty sent a special envoy to congratulate you on opening up your territory and destroying the Persian Empire!" ”

Hearing this, the red pen in Emperor Chongzhen's hand finally stopped, and then raised his head, looked at Mustafa, who was already wearing the official uniform of the Ottoman Empire, and said coldly: "I don't have time to listen to nonsense!" ”

Feeling the strong hostility of the Ming Emperor, Mustafa couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In this regard, he was not surprised at all, so he had to continue to wronged himself, and replied in a respectful tone: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is very sorry for the previous unauthorized use of troops against the Ming Dynasty, and is willing to make compensation for this matter, turn the conflict into a jade silk, and benefit the people of the two countries!"

Emperor Chongzhen had already lowered his head again at this time, and continued to review the chapter, without speaking, and did not reprimand again.

Mustafa understood that this was for him to continue.

So, he had no choice but to continue: "The country is willing to compensate for the loss of the Ming Dynasty, and in order to express the sincerity of the country, he is willing to cede the Arabian Peninsula to the Ming Dynasty." I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor Ming knows how big the Arabian Peninsula is, and the envoy can tell you about it......"

Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect that Osman was really generous, and he would cede such a large land area at once. Of course, this place is just a large area. If you think about it, it's not hard to understand. Because this side of the Arabian Peninsula is too far away from the capital of the Ottoman Empire. (Please ignore the unspeakable reasons)

Although he was a little surprised, he remained silent on the surface, raised his head, and said in a cold voice: "I have already sent someone to get it over there, why do you need to cede it?" If I want to make amends and show sincerity, I don't want to listen to nonsense and waste my time. ”

"......" When Mustafa heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Originally, before he came, the bottom line that he had discussed was the Arabian Peninsula. Because the province here has long violated the yang and yin of the imperial court, although it has the intention to pursue it, it is powerless. Rather than being rebelled by them, it is better to sell them for a good price.

However, even so, if possible, I still want to cut a little less, and the certainty of this degree lies in Mustafa's measurement. With Mustafa's ability, they believe he can grasp this degree.

And when Mustafa came all the way, what he saw and heard, the territory of Persia was already stable, and there was a large-scale transfer, and when he saw Emperor Chongzhen's hostility to the Ottomans in this hall, he simply showed the bottom line directly, so as not to bargain, the Ming Emperor was impatient and angry, so that nothing could be talked about.

But he never expected that after his bottom line was revealed, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom was not happy, such a large territory, there was really no joy at all! And listen to what he means, can the Ming army quickly take down there?

Thinking of the prayer for help from the Arabian Peninsula, Mustafa felt that it was really possible in terms of the emergency described in the movement!

This time, he was a little dumbfounded: Could it be that this time it was in vain?

Emperor Chongzhen saw that he did not answer, so he bowed his head again to review the chapter. After waiting for a while, before hearing any movement, he raised his head again to look over, and found that Mustafa's expression seemed to be mixed with panic and anxiety, and he knew that this was probably Osman's bottom line.

Seeing the Ming Emperor looking up at him, Mustafa gritted his teeth and pretended to be stubborn and said: "Please also ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to understand that the country was also bewitched by the Persian Emperor to do something wrong, and has already paid a heavy price. The country is very sincere! ”

"Huh!" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "Then how many products are there in the Arabian Peninsula?" Is it as big as the original Mughal? My Ming Dynasty, from south to north, from west to east, there are fifty of you Ottomans, do you think that the Arabian Peninsula can enter my eye? ”

"......" Mustafa was dumbfounded when he heard it.

How could the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom speak so shamelessly, and dare to say that his country is as big as fifty Ottoman Empires, and he is not afraid to flash his tongue when he speaks?

You must know that today's Ottoman Empire is the most extensive since the founding of the country. In history, which dynasty could have been as large as the Ottoman Empire today? However, this Ming emperor actually said that his Ming Dynasty was as big as fifty Ottoman Empires! Did he not know enough about the Ottoman Empire, or was he the kind who spoke shamelessly?

Once again, Mustafa felt that Emperor Chongzhen's words could not be accepted.

According to the convention, at this time, he had to be tough and use skills to scare the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom. However, the attitude of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is so clear, if he really wants to be scared, he is afraid that he will not be able to go back alive.

But if you don't talk all the time, it's very embarrassing!

After thinking about it, Mustafa finally couldn't help but ask: "Then His Majesty the Emperor thinks that what should I, the Ottomans, do, so that the two countries can be reconciled?" ”

"Take the Black Sea Strait as the boundary, cede the area to the east, and I will send troops, otherwise Persia will be the fate of your Ottomans!" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately said in a cold voice. His tone was unmistakable.

"Impossible!" Hearing this, Mustafa subconsciously replied.

If the Black Sea Strait were to be ceded as the boundary, most of the Ottoman Empire would be gone, and the capital Istanbul would also be directly on the border line, which would certainly be impossible.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he did not back down, but lowered his head again to review the chapter, and at the same time ordered: "Get out, expel immediately!" ”

Hearing this, the captain of the brocade guard, who had been standing beside him, immediately stepped forward and motioned for the Ottoman envoy to go out.

Mustafa couldn't help it, Emperor Ming's request, he couldn't agree. So, I can only go out with regret.

When he got out of the palace gate, the interpreter who accompanied him suddenly said to Mustafa: "Just now I felt that you didn't believe what my Emperor Ming said, that the Ming Dynasty is as big as your fifty Ottoman Empires?" ”

Hearing this, Mustafa turned his head to look at him, nodded and said, "I'm afraid that the Ming Emperor doesn't know how big our Ottoman Empire is, so he will say such things!" ”

The implication is that Emperor Chongzhen is suspected of being a frog at the bottom of the well, plus talking big and shameless.

Hearing this, the translator couldn't help but laugh, the kind of mockery. This made Mustafa see that he felt like he was a frog at the bottom of the well, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, so he asked, "Isn't it?" ”

When the translator heard this question, he barely stopped laughing, and then said with pride: "The territory of my Ming Dynasty, from the Arctic Ocean in the north, to the archipelago where Batavia is located in the south, and to the entire American continent in the east, is almost all my Ming territory. Do you think, are there fifty of you Ottoman Empire big? ”

As for the west, needless to say, everyone knows it very well.

By this time, the world map was already widely circulated. Mustafa was a high-ranking member of the Ottoman Empire, and naturally knew what the whole world was like. Therefore, after hearing the words of the translator, he was dumbfounded again.

It wasn't until he was urged by the captain of the Jinyi Guard that he came back to his senses. He didn't say anything, just bowed his head and left.

When he left Zhennan City and walked out of the city gate, Mustafa turned his head to look at the head hanging on the head of the city, that is, he glanced at it, and never looked back.

After leaving the Persian border, he met with the border guards and told him what he had seen, so that the side could be more vigilant. Then he himself hurried back to Istanbul.
