Persia is coming to an end, what is the situation? Ahmad has a faint hunch that it is likely to be related to Mingguo!

He was thinking about it, when he suddenly saw the queen mother's face pale, her body shook, and she couldn't hold the emergency report in her hand, and fell to the ground.

The maid on the side hurriedly helped her and panicked.

However, after the queen mother came to her senses, she pushed them away, did not care about the image, and immediately bent down to pick up the urgent report, and looked at it again.

This time, she quickly finished watching it. Then, raising his head, he looked at Ahmed, and said in that trembling tone: "The Ming army has captured most of Persia, including Isfahan, which has been captured by the Ming army. Persian Emperor Abbas II, life and death are currently unknown! ”

Even if the queen mother doesn't care about things outside the palace, she can be a feud in the Ottoman Empire, and she has some understanding. Now that most of Persia has been captured by the Ming army, and even the capital is gone, what if Abbas II is still alive? This situation must not be reversed!

For a long time, the Ottoman Empire could not destroy the Persian Empire when it was at its strongest. But now, how much time has passed, and it will be wiped out by the Ming army. From this point of view, if the Ming army comes, will the Ottoman Empire be able to stop it?

As he spoke, the maid forwarded the courier to Ahmet. At the same time, the Empress Dowager, who looked panicked, asked in a tone with a little hope: "The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom once said that if you offend him, no matter how far away, you will kill him." You see, can we stop the Ming army? ”

Ahmed didn't answer her question, all his attention was on the urgent report. After taking it, I quickly looked at it.

Before he finished reading it, his face was already white.

Ahmed is more familiar with the situation than the Queen Mother. From this urgent report, it can be seen that the Ming army was completely crushing against the Persian army. In his impression, the Persian army, when facing the Ming army, was like a chicken, a dog.

After reading the emergency report, after thinking about it a little deeper, he almost guessed the reason.

First, the elite army of the Persian Empire had already lost its troops on an expedition to the Mughals. Together with the country, for the Ming army, it was terrifying. If there is no morale, how can you fight?

Second, from the previous news received from the border guards, Abbas II had suppressed the rebels in various parts of the country, and his foundation was unstable, which in turn fueled the offensive of the Ming army.

Thinking of this, Ahmed was suddenly dumbfounded.

Because he suddenly found that the current situation of the Ottoman Empire seemed to be the same as that of the Persian Empire before it.

His father led the country's elite army to the battle, and in the end, only about 10,000 defeated remnants were able to return. Subsequently, in order to keep his family, he also suppressed it with iron blood, and rebuilt the army by collecting taxes on a large scale.

At this time, the Ottoman Empire was unstable due to tax collection, but the rebuilt army had not yet formed a fighting force. At least with the previous army, that is not comparable.

If the Ming army doesn't fight, then it doesn't matter if the foundation is unstable, and it doesn't matter if the army's combat effectiveness is poor, as long as there is enough time, these are really not a problem.

But the key at present is that the Ming army is about to destroy the Persian Empire, which is equivalent to reaching the border of the Ottoman Empire. If the Ming army continues to attack, now is the time when the Ottoman Empire is the weakest, and it will not be able to fight!

Thinking of this, Ahmed's heart was very bitter. The weakness of the Ottoman Empire was caused by him and his father. In the current situation, there is no way to let others take the blame!

“…… Can you stop the Ming army? Seeing that Ahmet didn't answer, the Queen Mother became a little anxious, and asked in a heavier tone, "Reply!" ”

At this time, Ahmad finally came back to his senses, looked up and saw that the Queen Mother seemed to be a little angry, and immediately shook, and quickly replied: "Queen Mother, Weichen thinks that unless the border army is transferred from the western border, it may be able to fight!" ”

Because of faith, the Ottoman Empire has been fighting back and forth with European countries. Successive Ottoman emperors and their noblemen made it their mission to conquer Europe.

Without the flapping of the butterfly wings of Emperor Chongzhen, after Ahmet's death, his brother-in-law took power and eventually launched the famous Battle of Vienna for Central Europe.

From this, it can be seen that the surroundings of the Ottoman Empire, which were not conquered by it, were its feuds. When Koplylu led his troops on the expedition, the western frontier was used to defend against the border armies of Central European countries, and they were not mobilized. It is also for this reason that the most elite of the Ottoman army is the Western Frontier Army. That's why Ahmed said so.

When the queen mother heard this, she was stunned at first, but after coming back to her senses, she had to admit that she might only be able to use the western border army, but if the western border army was mobilized, what should be done with the western border?

Thinking so, she voiced this concern.

For the Ottomans, the Ming army was the enemy, and those in Central Europe were also the enemies of the Ottomans. Is it feasible to dig the west wall and mend the east wall?

Ahmed could not answer this question, for he knew that the countries of Central Europe would probably take advantage of the fire if they knew that the western frontier of the empire was understated. Send someone to negotiate peace with them, saying that the eastern border of the Ottomans is going to be threatened by the Ming army, let's talk about peace first, let's go and deal with the Ming army, okay? The answer is 100 percent no.

Unless there are shameful treaties with those countries in Central Europe, land reparations, and so on. It is absolutely impossible for those countries to sit idly by without paying a huge price.

Rather than this, it is better to sign a treaty with the Ming army. At least on the side of the Ming army, in the past, the well water did not interfere with the river water. The reason why the fight started this time was because his old foolish father listened to Abbas II's slander and took the initiative to fight the Ming army.

Thinking of this, Ahmed considered his words before looking at the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, as far as Weichen knows, those countries in the west wish we were destroyed by the Ming army. If the western frontier army is mobilized at any cost, the only way to do so is to fill their bottomless pit first. ”

How can the bottomless pit be filled flat! When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help but be very disappointed. But she also knew in her heart that Ahmed was right.

Under her sad face, she complained to Ahmed: "You are the one who said that the western frontier army was transferred, and you are the one who said that it was not possible to transfer the western frontier army." What exactly do you want? ”

"The Queen Mother forgives her sins!" Ahmed groaned slightly, and then replied to her: "Weichen thinks that the Ming army has come from afar, how many soldiers and horses can there be?" Occupy such a large Persia, that army may not be enough. What's more, the long-distance march to fight, the morale of the army, the fatigue of the soldiers, and the supply of food and grass are all problems. Therefore, or there is no need to worry, it should be impossible for the Ming army to continue to fight our Ottoman Empire after fighting Persia! ”

When the Queen Mother heard it, it seemed to make sense! Before, I was in a hurry, but now I calm down and think about it, it is true!

Thinking about it this way, she finally didn't worry so much.

At this time, Ahmad was still analyzing: "Weichen thinks that the reason why the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is acting aggressively is actually to suppress us Ottoman. In doing so, he was simply giving an account to his subjects, especially those killed by our Ottoman army. In addition, maybe they want to get some benefit from us Ottoman. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was relieved a lot, her face softened, and her voice softened a little and asked, "Then how should we deal with it?" ”

"Weichen thinks that static braking is better!" Ahmet had already cleared his mind when he said this, and immediately replied, "Put on a heavy defensive posture on the Persian border, and let the Ming army know that if they dare to attack our Ottomans, they will have to pay a huge price!" Then it will be up to the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom to do what he does, and then we will see you again! ”

When the queen mother heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said in a loud voice: "Good, good, good to brake quietly, this palace likes it!" ”

After finishing speaking, she was still happy, and then she said: "The affairs outside the palace, leave it to you, this palace is the most relieved!" Just do what you say! ”

"Weichen Command!" Ahmad heard this and immediately bowed.

Out of the palace, Ahmet hurried away. Although when facing the Queen Mother, he seemed to be confident and confident. But in reality, he really has no bottom. Because the emperor of the Ming Kingdom is absolutely not able to be theorized as usual.

There is no way, I can only use twelve points of energy to deal with it first, hoping to scare the Ming Emperor and stop at Persia!

……………………

However, what he didn't know was that at this time, Yan Yingyuan's troops had only left a small part of his troops to supervise the Persian captives to build ports and build new cities, and he had already led a large army to land on the Arabian Peninsula.

At this time, the Arabian Peninsula was already part of the Ottoman Empire, but later it was occupied by Portugal on the southern shore of the Persian Gulf. However, Portugal did not hold on, and was driven out by Persian Abbas I and the British and Dutch colonists, and by the way, all the natives of the south coast who supported Portugal were killed.

The Yariba dynasty in Oman was also involved in driving out the Portuguese. The Portuguese remember this. Now, relying on the strength of the Ming army, Phillips officially proposed to the Ming army to help take revenge and destroy the Yariba dynasty. In return, the other Portuguese had previously occupied the land, they didn't want it, just the Arypa dynasty.

As an Allied Powers, it was originally decided to advance and retreat together. It stands to reason that their request is fine. Therefore, Yan Yingyuan agreed.

Of course, the attack on the Arypa Dynasty was naturally carried out by the Portuguese, and the Ming army was only assisting. Can't you get an alliance to help you fight it down, and then give it to you, is that still an alliance?
