Volume 15 Chapter 18 Request for Alliance

Su Yiman was indeed frightened all the way, he originally thought that the dense warships in Xingcheng Port were all the Ming Empire's navy, but he didn't expect that after arriving at Dongdaying, the sea was also densely packed with warships, and what was even more terrifying was the huge city next to the port.

The capital of the Ottoman Empire can be said to be the famous super city of Europe, with a population of nearly one million, but in front of the huge eastern camp, it seems to be a bit of a small thing.

He originally thought that this was the capital of Daming, but he never thought that Xiao Jiucheng didn't stop here at all, but took him on the train and continued to hurry!

He has heard of the steel monster of the train, there are many trains in Spain on the European continent, and it is also a country on the Mediterranean coast, and many people in the Ottoman Empire have naturally seen trains, but there are not many people who have taken trains, and Suiman has never ridden them.

The steel monster, really a steel monster, can really run on its own, and it runs faster than a galloping horse!

He has not yet woken up from the shock of the first train, but the capital of the Ming Dynasty has arrived, oh my God, what a terrifying super giant city this is, no matter which direction you look at, you can't see the edge, the train faster than the galloping horse has been driving around the city wall for a long time before entering the city!

He was really stupid by the strength of the Ming Empire, he originally thought that the Ming Empire was stupid and had a lot of money, and he wanted to come over to fight the autumn breeze, but now, he really wanted to be an envoy and promote an alliance between the Ottoman Empire and the Ming Empire.

Yes, he must promote an alliance between the two countries, he is greedy, but it does not mean that he is a fool, on the contrary, he is quite smart, otherwise he would not be able to stand out from the many competitors and become one of the most trusted cronies of His Majesty the Ottoman Emperor.

He wants to promote the alliance between the two countries not for the sake of the Ottoman Empire, his main purpose is to find a big backer, after all, he is not the only favored cronies of His Majesty the Ottoman Emperor, he has many competitors, the struggle in the palace is quite cruel, and if you are not careful, you may be eaten by the opponent without even dregs.

It would be different if there was such a powerful backer as the Ming Empire, no matter who wanted to move him, he had to consider the consequences, the Ming Empire was a stronger country than the Ottoman Empire!

Therefore, after he saw Zhu Cijiong, he was very deferential, even more deferential than when he met Ibrahim I.

Zhu Cijiong didn't feel anything special, because almost everyone was very deferential in front of him, he was used to it, and after a few polite greetings, he asked directly: "Master Su, I don't know what you are talking about when you lead the envoy to Daming this time?" “

He also knew that this guy was here to be corrupt, and the reason why he asked this was to give him a chance to speak, see what he wanted, send him a boat casually, and then let people beat him around for a while, eat and drink and serve well, and deal with it.

But he never thought that after listening to the translator's explanation, Su Yiman immediately arched his hand seriously: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire, I have come this time to discuss the alliance between the two countries with your country, I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor is willing to form an alliance with our Ottoman Empire?" “

Nima, which one is this singing, it seems that I haven't heard of the Ottoman Empire having an alliance, Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but glance at Xiao Jiucheng, but this thing was also confused, and it seemed that he didn't know about it.

It's a good thing to form an alliance, the Ottoman Empire and the Ming Dynasty did not have any direct conflict, and an alliance with such a powerful empire would be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, but the problem is that they seem to have fought with Spain and the Holy Roman Empire, I don't know how the relationship is now, if the feud is as deep as the sea, then this alliance will not be possible.

Zhu Cijiong said with a little regret: "I don't have any opinion on the alliance, but you seem to be hostile countries to Spain and the Holy Roman Empire, so this issue is a bit troublesome, because Spain is an ally of the Ming Dynasty, and Princess Anna, the sister of His Majesty Ferdinand III, the current emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, is my concubine." “

What's the trouble with this, Su Yiman immediately patted his chest and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, please rest assured, as long as the Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire form an alliance, I will immediately propose to our Emperor His Majesty to stop the military operations against Spain and the Holy Roman Empire, and even, as long as Spain and the Holy Roman Empire are willing, we can also consider forming an alliance with them!" “

In his opinion, hatred is not a thing, and he has never fought with Spain and the Holy Roman Empire, on the contrary, if he can pull Spain and the Holy Roman Empire again, then his prestige in the Ottoman Empire will be unmatched, and it is not impossible to even become the prime minister who is in charge alone!

This is a good idea, if it can really promote an alliance between the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburg Empire, it will be more beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cijiong heard this, nodded and said: "Well, if this is the case, there will be no problem with the alliance between the Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire, I am right." “

Su Yiman didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire to be so simple and so quick to give permission, the problem is not ready yet, this alliance is just his temporary idea, it will take a lot of effort to return to China to promote this matter, His Majesty the Emperor is good to say, because he has a little problem in his brain, and it is not easy to say it to other cronies, what should I do?

He frowned and pondered for a while, and said embarrassedly: "This, thank you for Your Majesty the Emperor's permission, however, His Majesty the Emperor has only succeeded to the throne not long ago, and there are still some powerful ministers in the country who do not listen to him very much, and I have to go back and try my best to mediate to facilitate this alliance, and I also ask His Majesty the Emperor to give me some time." “

Zhu Cijiong was not in a hurry about this alliance, he nodded directly and said: "Well, there is no problem, the alliance is not in a hurry, I haven't treated you well, why don't you go to Daming first and then go back." “

Su Yiman still has the heart to play, after he went back, he immediately found Xiao Jiucheng, asked him for help, and tried to find him something that could prove the strength of the Ming Empire, and he went back to coax the emperor and settle other cronies.

Xiao Jiucheng didn't dare to make his own decisions about this kind of thing, and soon, he ran to the palace and reported to the emperor.

This stumped Zhu Cijiong, so what should he bring back?

Super battleship? Don't be kidding, Daming himself is not enough now, besides, the value of a super battleship is millions of taels, and if you don't complete dozens of ships at a time, you can't achieve the effect, and the investment is too big to make a deal.

Muskets and artillery? It's also unrealistic, go back with a bunch of muskets and artillery, do you want to rebel or whatever!

Weapons are not good, then you can only use money to smash, in fact, the processing level of Chongzheng Tongbao is also very high, famous people can see at a glance, whether in the material or technology, Chongzheng Tongbao needs a high level of processing to make it.

There are also dragon coins, and the cities, warships, trains, and bridges printed on them can prove the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

So, Zhu Cijiong directly ordered to prepare one million gold coins, one million silver coins, and ten thousand sets of beautifully framed dragon coins for Su Yiman, and asked him to take them back to smash people, as for how to smash them, that was Su Yiman's business.
