The Persian envoy did not hide it anymore, and replied honestly: "Your Majesty hopes that the two countries can join forces to resist the invasion of the Ming Kingdom!" ”

"Oh?" When Ko Plu heard this, he was noncommittal, but just asked, "The Ming Kingdom is not an enemy of my Ottoman Empire, why do we take the initiative to fight the Ming Kingdom?" ”

The implication is that the sincerity of the Persian Empire is not enough, and it is not enough for the Ottoman Empire to offend the Ming State.

The Empress Dowager was not interested in this kind of foreign affairs, and Muhammad IV was too young, so it was naturally up to Koplulu to decide.

The Persian envoy knew this, so he did not dare to slack off at all about Koplulu's questioning, and hurriedly replied: "His Majesty has fought directly with the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and it can be said that he knows the Ming Kingdom best. They will definitely not be satisfied with just annexing the Mughal Empire. If the country loses, the flames of war will surely burn your country. ”

When Ko Plu heard this, he sneered and said, "What? Our Ottoman Empire is here, and if the Ming Kingdom dares to come, they will definitely know what the consequences of arrogance will be! ”

Hearing this, the Persian envoy knew that his emperor was right, so he had no choice but to say as Abbas II had explained: "Prime Minister, do you know how the Ming army annexed the Mughal Empire? Your Majesty believes that your country may not be able to stop the Ming Kingdom's attack. ”

"Huh!" Ke Plulu sneered when he heard this, "What else can you swallow and annex, you are a three-year-old child when you are an official, and you don't know how to fight?" ”

He is a half-cut person, and most of them are incomparable to him with rich experience.

When the Persian envoy heard this, he asked unhurriedly: "If the Ming army attacks your country, only kills the rich, gets the wealth to those untouchables, and encourages those untouchables to rebel together, may the prime minister have a countermeasure?" ”

Hearing this, Koplulu couldn't help but be stunned.

Basically, the Ottoman Empire, the Persian Empire and the Mughal Empire were actually similar. In today's Ottoman Empire, political corruption is rampant, corrupt officials are rampant, and rebellions are rampant. Although it was strongly suppressed by Koplulu, it was not over after all. It even sparked a revolt because of his strong repression. All of this makes the lives of the people at the bottom miserable.

In a way, the Persian Empire was better off than the Ottoman Empire. Therefore, if the Ming army went to curry favor with those low-level people. With Coplu's knowledge, he could certainly realize what the untouchables would choose.

In this regard, after being a little stunned, he didn't care, and immediately said calmly: "It's difficult, defeat the Ming army and punish the traitors!" ”

"But what if you can't defeat the Ming army? Or, the victory or defeat of the Ming army will not be known for a while? When the Persian envoy heard this, he immediately asked.

Ke Plulu was stunned for a moment, and then he was slightly angry, and when he was about to speak, he heard the queen mother interject: "The little emperor is tired, so the palace will take him back first." Everything is at the disposal of the Prime Minister! ”

When they heard this, they turned their heads and saw that Muhammad IV was already asleep sitting on the dragon chair, with drooling from the corners of his mouth.

So, they knelt down to send the queen mother and the emperor back to the harem.

After such an episode, Koplulu's anger had subsided somewhat, and he just shouted coldly: "Whoever dares to underestimate my Ottoman army will definitely pay a painful lesson." It doesn't matter if it's you Persia or that Ming country, it's the same. ”

"Then may I ask you, Prime Minister, can your country destroy the Mughal Empire in just over a year?" When the Persian envoy heard this, he asked again.

Hearing this, Koplulu frowned suddenly.

Although the words of the Persian envoy are just questions, the meaning is actually obvious, it is absolutely impossible for your Ottoman Empire to destroy the Mughal Empire in more than a year, or even a few more years, not necessarily. However, it took more than a year for the Ming Kingdom to destroy the huge Mughal Empire.

To put it simply, your Ottoman Empire's military strength is really that strong? If the Ming army comes to attack, it will definitely teach them a painful lesson?

The fact that Koplulu didn't speak didn't mean that the other courtiers had no opinion. This is to underestimate the Ottoman Empire, and those courtiers are naturally unhappy, so they reprimanded one after another.

"Bold, you Persia can't beat the Ming Kingdom, so you think our Ottoman Empire can't beat it?"

"If it weren't for your Persian block, the Mughal Empire would have been wiped out by our Ottoman Empire!"

"If you have the ability to let that Mingguo come and try, you will definitely let him come and go!"

"Don't bother the Prime Minister, I can kill them without leaving a single piece of armor!"

“……”

While they were talking energetically, they heard Koplulu exclaim, slightly dissatisfied, "Enough! ”

Although the sound was not loud, the hall was immediately silent. This shows how high the prestige of Koplulu is.

When the Persian envoy saw this, he said to Koplulu with great sincerity: "The Ming army is very well equipped, and the muskets equipped are all flintlock muskets, and the soldiers are brave, which is really a rare elite army......

Listening to what he was saying, Koplu's face slowly became serious.

"I believe everyone knows the difference in strength between the country and your country." The Persian envoy's demeanor became more sincere, and he almost asked for his heart, "The reason why His Majesty is willing to submit to your country is that he knows that the strength of the Ming army is very strong, and their tricks are very despicable. If our two countries do not unite, once they are ready to attack by the Ming army, it will definitely be difficult to resist. If not, why would His Majesty take the initiative to submit to your country? ”

Speaking of this, the Persian envoy bent his waist and said: "In the current situation, you and I have two countries working together, and if we don't agree, we will definitely be broken by the Ming army!" With the wisdom of the Prime Minister, you will definitely understand the powerful stakes! ”

In other words, it is said that the Ottoman Empire could not defeat the Ming State. This made the civil and military ministers very angry, and they had to refute the Persian envoys.

But this time, Koplulu reached out and didn't let them speak. Instead, he said with a solemn face: "You can tell me about the specific situation of the Ming army, say whatever you know, don't hide it, don't exaggerate, just listen to the truth!" ”

When the Persian messenger heard this, and knew that there was hope, he hastened to make sure that what he said was true, and told as much as he could.

After listening to this, Koplulu thought about it for a long time, but did not make a decision on the spot, but just let the Persian envoy go to the post house to rest.

When there were no outsiders, Koplulu immediately asked, "That Aurangzeb has been put to death, but are there other Mughals?" ”

At this time, he actually regretted it a little. At that time, Aurangzeb should have been kept, so that he could know what was going on on the Mughal battlefield at the beginning.

Hearing his questioning, one of the officers came out and replied, "My lord, there are a few prisoners, and the highest ranking among them is Aurangzeb's henchman, named Odom. ”

When Koplulu heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately ordered to take this Odom.

By the afternoon, Odom had been escorted to Kopru's side. Hearing that the prime minister of the Ottoman Empire, the actual ruler, asked about the situation of the Ming army, he did not dare to hide it, so he told everything he had experienced.

The information provided by his side was far more detailed than that of the Persian envoys.

After hearing this, Koplulu's face was really very grim. Comparing the two sides, it can be clearly seen that the Ming army is really very strong. Especially the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, his ability to fight is even more powerful.

From the Ming State all the way to the west, and now threatening the vassal Crimean Khanate, it can be seen that the ambition of the Ming Emperor is really not small. The territory is already so large that it is still expanding westward. It is very likely that in the next few years, the Ottoman Empire will be attacked.

Thinking of this, he immediately remembered the Ming army's combat methods that the Persian envoy had warned, and his brows furrowed.

If the war between the Ottoman Empire and the Ming Kingdom is really stalemate in the future, then their kind of means will really disintegrate the Ottoman Empire's combat power. The most uncomfortable thing is that this method of the Ming army, because the war burned in the territory of the Ottoman Empire, could not be used on the Ming State.

After weighing it for a while, Coplelu made up his mind, and immediately entered the palace to meet the Empress Dowager, and told him his thoughts. In the end, there were no surprises, and everything was based on his ideas.

So, he agreed to the request of Abbas II of Persia, and the two countries were ready to jointly attack the Ming army and drive it back to the Far East.

Subsequently, the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire sent high-ranking envoys to the Persian Gulf side to discuss the alliance's war. The Persian Gulf side was chosen because Abbas II, at the suggestion of Abbas II, also involved the Dutch and British fleet commanders.

There is one thing that Koplulu thinks is nothing, that is, he left Odom, who was familiar with the situation of the Ming army, by his side to consult. He didn't expect that it was precisely because of this that he had an extra eyeliner of Emperor Chongzhen on his side.

Of course, for the alliance between the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire, as well as the Dutch and British fleets, Emperor Chongzhen could also learn from the Grade A eavesdropping seed on Abbas II.

This time, it was no more than the time when the Persian Empire and the Mughal Empire were allied.

In the past, the alliance was improvised, and by that time, the Mughal Empire was already in shambles.

And this time, it was the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire that secretly formed an alliance and then prepared to take the initiative to attack the Ming army. The strength of these two alliances is very different.

Emperor Chongzhen was very worried that the generals on the front line did not have a eavesdropping system, and it was impossible for them to know in advance about the strategic deployment of these two countries. Even if it is sent out at night, it will be about a hundred miles at most. Once attacked, it can be dangerous.

Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen made a decision.
