Chapter 555: Inspecting Mongolia
Cao Wenzhao received an order from Gao Junshan to first occupy the road between the Ottomans and Cairo, blocking the route of the Ottoman reinforcements.
The new Ottoman prime minister was Ahmed Kopliri, who had been a scholar by profession and became a professor at the age of 16, but after his father became the Grand Viqi, he became Governor of Erzum in 1659 and Governor of Damascus in 1660, acting prime minister when his father was seriously ill. He was only 26 years old when he became Prime Minister on November 21, 1661. But since he was a child, he followed his father around the empire and had a deep understanding of the empire. Administratively, he was as shrewd and capable as his father. From the very beginning of his tenure, he decided to carry on his father's last wish and continue his expedition to Europe to regain the lost territory of the Ottoman Empire.
Inheriting his father's legacy, he gained great prestige among the Ottoman army, allowing him to command the auxiliary armies of the vassal principalities of Transnesia, Moldova, and Wallachia. He continued his father's reforms, downsizing the Janisseri Guards and the Sipahi Cavalry, and reorganizing the army to make it more elite.
His first target was Austria.
Gao Junshan received the news that the Ottoman was preparing to start a war against Austria, and he first removed the post of head of the Istanbul station of the General Affairs Bureau, on the grounds that his intelligence was not forward-looking, and almost misled Huaxia's policy towards Austria, but fortunately, Feng Congwen, Fan Jiahui and Daniel, three financial experts, did not stop the financial infiltration of Austria, and the Ministry of Rites had also begun to contact Austria.
In order to wage war against Austria, Ahmed Koplili personally led an army of 200,000 troops to Austria, the hereditary domain of the Habsburgs, the Holy Roman Monarch.
During his expedition, he learned that Sami Chadi Mohammed, a member of the clique that had elected his father to power, had conspired against him, and he did not hesitate to execute him. In confronting those who belittled him and fought with him for power, he always had the unwavering support of the monarch. When he left the capital, his sister-in-law, Carla Mustafa, took his place. In addition, he was closely supported by Kurshu Mohammed, Kaplan Mustapha and other capable generals.
At this time, Austria was really panicked, and in order to resist the Ottoman invasion, under the impetus of the Persian state, the plan of the high mountain was carried out. The plan was for Austria to borrow money from the Huaxia Bank to go to Persia to buy weapons from Huaxia.
Things went smoothly, mainly because Feng Congwen and other three financial experts had prepared in advance, and the Austrian side was happy to accept the funds provided to them by Huaxia Bank, of course, these funds were settled in Huaxia currency, and after Austria obtained this huge amount of money, it began to buy Huaxia-made weapons from Persia to equip their army.
The Persians made a fortune in this arms deal with Austria, not only selling the Chinese weapons to Austria, but also sending an officer corps to Austria to train the Austrian army in the use of weapons. Of course, all this was under the control of Gao Junshan, because China had an alliance with the Ottomans, and it was difficult for them to directly support Austria.
This is also the support of Persia, the capital of China, which, in line with the principle of favorable sharing, shared the pie of Austria with Persia, but the bulk of the weapons purchased still belonged to China.
The most important thing is not how much money is made by buying weapons, Huaxia Bank enters the Austrian capital chain, this is the most crucial, as long as Austria borrows money from Huaxia Bank, Austria's financial revenue will continue to flow into Huaxia's treasury.
……
The luxury train of Gao Jun Mountain runs on the vast prairie, Gao Jun Mountain, which is in a good mood, enjoys the scenery on the grassland through the wide glass window, outside the window, is an endless prairie, and the herdsmen can see the herdsmen's free-range yaks, cows and sheep everywhere on the grassland, looking at it from afar like a landscape painting.
Bailisha, who was sitting next to Gao Junshan, sighed: "The grassland is so big! ”
Liu Hongru said: "The train has been running for a few days and nights, and I can't see it. ”
Gao Junshan said: "It's almost time to get to the station." ”
Tian Wenju asked, "Your Majesty, how did you know that you were about to arrive at the station?" ”
Gao Junshan pointed to the herdsmen outside the window and said, "You see, there are so many herdsmen on the grassland here, what does this mean?" ”
Bailisha said: "This shows that we have come to the gathering place of herdsmen. ”
"That's right." Gao Junshan nodded, "There must be a city in a place where herders are concentrated, so the train should be about to arrive at the station." ”
Tian Wenju said: "It's okay now, I must take a good bath after I arrive at the station." ”
As everyone was talking, they saw the six ladies of Gao Junshan coming from the other end of the carriage, and Ji Ya was at the front, and he said excitedly to Gao Junshan: "Your Majesty, it's here, my home has arrived, your Majesty, look at it, this is my hometown where I grew up!" ”
Gao Junshan said: "I have been watching all the way, your hometown is very vast and beautiful!" ”
The train began to slow down and prepared to enter the station.
Looking out of the train window at the platform, the platform in Ulaanbaatar was already full of welcoming people, and the train came to a steady stop on platform 1.
Mongolia's Pozhit Khan, dressed in traditional national costumes, greeted Gao Junshan on the platform, and when Gao Junshan walked off the platform, two Mongolian girls presented a white Hada to Gao Junshan.
Gao Junshan draped Hada on his shoulders, hula on the platform fell to the ground, and the herdsmen blessed Gao Junshan in unison, wishing Gao Junshan long live long live!
Gao Junshan smiled and waved his hand to thank them.
After the welcoming ceremony, Gao Junshan was escorted by his guard and got into a middle jeep, and the jeep in which Pozhit Khan was riding drove in front of him and drove towards the bustling city.
Pozhit Khan is the Four Treasures of Gaojun Mountain, his Chinese name is Gao Oasis, and the Mongolian name is Pozhit.
After a few streets, the convoy came to the compound of the provincial capital. As the master of Mongolia, Jiya enthusiastically took his wife to visit around, and Gao Junshan and his three old ministers asked the Mongolian side to arrange a bed to rest because of the fatigue of the journey.
Gao Junshan and the three old ministers were arranged to rest in a yurt, lying on the bed in the yurt, and Liu Hongru was the one who felt the deepest.
Liu Hongru followed Shen Yikui to serve in the army in Ningsai Fort, just to resist the invasion of the Mongols, and now he is lying in the central city of the Mongols to sleep, the world is changing too fast, he really can't adapt to it, the Mongols who used to be called Tartars, now they have to kneel down and shout long live when they see the emperor.
Everyone in the yurt was lying down, and Tian Wenju was still looking around, and he said to himself: "Mongolians sleep in this place!" Why don't you even have a place to take a shower? ”
Gao Junshan said: "Hurry up and go to sleep, I want to take a bath and wait until I have eaten, taking a bath on an empty stomach is not good for the stomach." ”
