When the Rashid family also announced their accession to the Ottoman Empire, the British were very annoyed, but the Ottoman Empire was very happy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In view of the Xia Empire's strong support for the Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman Empire had already regarded the Xia Empire as their ally, and in order not to arouse the Xia Empire's disgust with the acceptance of the Kuwaiti king, they felt that it was necessary to communicate with the Xia Empire and eliminate misunderstandings, so they sent a special envoy to Kuwait to meet with the Metropolitan Governor of the West Asia Theater Command.

Qian Xiangyang welcomed the arrival of the Ottoman envoy, and people respected him, at least he could not lack the etiquette he should have, so he met with special people in the Dadu Governor's Palace.

The Metropolitan Governor's House was the residence of the former British Governor of the Persian Gulf.

The envoy knew that the soldiers of the Xia Empire were very straightforward, so he did not say some diplomatic words in a roundabout way, but said straight to the point: "Your Excellency the Grand Governor, first of all, congratulations on your successful pacification of the peninsula region, which is something that our Ottoman Empire has ruled there for hundreds of years. ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your congratulations!"

"Secondly, I have come to meet the Metropolitan Governor on behalf of the Empire, because there are some things to explain to the Metropolitan Governor. Mubarak Sabah, Raziz, Ibn Rashid and others led their family members, subordinates, and armies into the Ottoman Empire to take refuge in us, so as not to cause misunderstanding among the Governors, so I have come to consult the Governors. ”

When Qian Xiangyang heard this, he said with a smile: "Your Excellency the Ambassador is polite, this is your country's internal affairs, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere!" Your country is perfectly free to arrange them according to its own opinions. ”

When the envoy heard Qian Xiangyang say this, he was very happy in his heart, the Xia Empire was indeed a very good ally, they did not interfere in the internal affairs of the Ottoman Empire, which was much stronger than other white countries, so he asked politely: "Does the metropolitan governor have any good suggestions?" ”

"It depends on your country's intentions, and it's not convenient for me to make a statement, right? If it is just a suggestion, I hope that you can refer to the mercenaries of our Xia Empire and change them into mercenaries as well, which can be of great benefit to strengthening your army; After all, they do not have a country of their own, the overall conditions are very backward, and there is no settlement in life, whether they join the Ottoman Empire or move closer to the British, joining the army as cannon fodder is their only option. Qian Xiangyang said.

The people of the Xia Empire are straightforward, and this suggestion is not bad, but he heard that the mercenaries of the Xia Empire are powerful, but they have no country, and those ordinary herdsmen are not easy to resettle, so he said: "It's okay to be a mercenary, but their combat effectiveness is too low, and their families are not easy to resettle." “

Qian Xiangyang was happy in his heart, and was worried that he would not have a chance to block the Europeans, so this opportunity came, and after a little sum in his heart, he said: "What's so difficult about this? Your country can set aside a place in the Balkans as a gathering place for their tribal families, which can not only help your country to guard the frontier, but also provide excellent soldiers, and they also have a stable place to live, so that they do not have to wander around, and it is convenient for your country to control them; This is how the Russian Empire treated the Cossacks, and the Cossack cavalry fought for the Russian Empire for a hundred years, and the effect was very good; If your country promises them that they will sincerely serve your country and help them build a country when the time is right, then they will work even harder. “

The envoy felt that this method was very good, which not only saved the empire's huge military expenditure, but also built a huge army, and immediately expressed his gratitude to Qian Xiangyang: "Thank you, the governor, the governor's suggestion is very good, I will report to the empire immediately when I go back." “

Qian Xiangyang was very happy in his heart, no matter where these natives were settled in the Balkan Peninsula, it would make the Balkan issue more complicated and give Europeans a headache.

After listening to the report of the envoy, the joint committee felt that the Xia Empire was indeed a responsible power, did not interfere in their internal affairs, and gave them reasonable suggestions, so many parliamentarians gave full play to their imagination and added a lot of suggestions, such as dividing the Arabs into three major tribes, so that they could compete with each other and make it easier for the empire to control them; It has been suggested that ethnic minorities from the south of the Caucasus should also be resettled in the Balkans, with the same effect; These ideas were also agreed by many parliamentarians, and the Joint Committee successfully adopted the proposals, resulting in a resolution and immediate implementation.

The resolution was swiftly sent to Ibn Rashid, Mubarak al-Sabah and Raziz, who were asked to come to Istanbul as soon as possible to discuss important matters.

Raziz took the notice, happy and sad at the same time, happy that their tribe and their families would soon have a place to settle, and sad that their tribe would become cannon fodder for the Ottoman Empire in the future.

Raziz came to Mubarak with the notice, after all, Mubarak was more experienced.

Mubarak knew Raziz's intentions, so he didn't wait for Raziz to speak, held up the notice and said: "Prince, from now on, don't treat us as princes or kings, just treat us as ordinary tribal members, only when all our Arabs are united, can we live hard in this world, weakness is our sin, whether we join the Ottoman Empire or join the British, we are all the same life as cannon fodder, but who can make the tribe live better; Compared with the great deserts of Africa, the Balkan Peninsula region at least has a better climate, more fertile soil, and more importantly, the empire has the same faith as us, and it is easier to deal with pagans. “

Laziz understood what Mubarak meant, nodded, no longer entangled in his heart, this was their mission, sighed, and left without saying anything.

Ibn al-Rashid was also conflicted, but now he could only take it one step at a time.

After the three arrived in Istanbul, the Ottoman Joint Council sent a commissioner to have a long talk with them, the Ottoman subjects had the same faith and fraternal friendship with them, and the Ottoman Empire's intention was not to enslave them, but to hope that they would also establish their own country in the future and not have to wander around again; The formation of mercenaries is also convenient for them to expand their territory in the future and prepare for the establishment of the state.

All the Arabs who migrated to the Ottoman Empire were asked to move uniformly to the Balkans and were divided into 3 large tribal confederations, each of whom served as the chieftain of the tribal confederation; According to the recommendation of the Xia Empire's officer training regiment, each tribal alliance should establish 21,000 infantry and 9,000 cavalry, a total of 10 regiments, each regiment with 3,000 people.

The Ottoman Empire would not interfere in the internal affairs of their tribes and the management of the army, but the empire would send officers to assist them in training the army and improving the combat effectiveness of the army.

The talks went very well, and they were then asked to implement the resolution immediately.
