While Emperor Yang was happily playing the game of mapping, the Swedes finally seized Crimea, and the Ottomans lost their last remaining territory on the northern shore of the Black Sea. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ahmed III finally couldn't hold it anymore.

"The Ottomans sued for peace."

Liang Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, said.

"Sue us alone for peace!"

Then he added.

What is Ahmed ready to show his sincerity?

Yang Feng said with a sneer.

It is not surprising that Ahmet III sued the Ming Dynasty for peace alone, the contradiction between the two sides was originally nothing more than an Egypt, but now let alone Egypt, even the Hejaz and Algeria have been established, what is the point of them holding on to Egypt? At this time, even if the Ming army withdrew, the elders who controlled Egypt would not be able to submit to him, and the other main battlefield of Ming'ao Hejaz had also been established, even if the Ming army withdrew Saide II, it would be impossible to submit to the Ottoman Empire again, and the Hejaz emir even refused to send troops to reinforce the Syrian governor under the pretext of defending the Holy Land. Even the two sides were no longer rivals on the battlefield of Jerusalem, which had become a battlefield between the Crusaders and the Ottoman Empire.

So what's the point of fighting?

"The condition he set was to recognize that Egypt belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and the amount of compensation could be negotiated."

Liang Cheng said.

"Is this called sincerity?"

Yang Feng said speechlessly.

It is not bad to say that the truce with Ahmet is not bad, they have indeed stopped fighting, they can't fight each other at all, the enemies of the Ming in Egypt are the Egyptian elders, the enemy in the Hejaz is Said II, Jerusalem was ceded to the Crusaders, and the three battlefields have no part of the Ottoman Empire, and then continue to maintain the state of war, but it affects the trade between the two sides, anyway, the Ming and European countries are not allies, even if there is a truce with the Ottomans, there is no moral responsibility......

Well, that's just talk.

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

Liang Cheng asked.

Listening to the emperor's meaning, it is obvious that he can agree to the Ottoman sue for peace, in fact, the cabinet does not want to fight anymore, the main thing is that it is not interesting for the two sides to fight again, but it will have a serious impact on the export of goods of the Ming Dynasty, the Ottoman Empire is also a huge market, especially these guys are also rich, before Ahmet III alone every year of luxury consumption to feed a large group of Ming merchants, if Emperor Yang can nod, it is better for the cabinet to stop fighting.

"Cut the ground."

Yang Feng said: "Egypt is already the Ming Dynasty, why do you need him to admit it, if he wants to cease the war, he has to cede another land, and cede all the Persian Gulf coast, including Basra, I don't want to see the Ottoman Navy's warships appear in the east, so I will not allow them to have access to the sea to the east, as for the amount of compensation, this is set at 100 million dragon yuan, I don't bully him, he is also quite nervous now, but this 100 million dragon yuan is not allowed to be paid in installments, he must pay it in a lump sum." ”

"I'll go and inform them."

Liang Cheng said hurriedly.

"Also, don't forget to pay compensation to the Imperial Oil employees who were killed by them, just one million, and pay them their families later!"

Immediately afterwards, Yang Feng said again.

That's it, at this time, the Ottoman Empire also ruled the entire Persian Gulf oil-producing area from Qatar to Basra, and in this way directly annexed to the territory of the Ming Empire, and then swallowed Persia and Oman after fighting Egypt, and then it was possible to develop the Masjid Suleiman oil field. Just in Basra to build an oil export port to build a railway has been through, and then from Basra to the north through the Persian railway, at that time the Ming railway also basically entered Central Asia, the two lines just completed the intersection, to achieve the Ming railway through the Persian Gulf strategic goal.

It was also possible to build north from Persia through the Caucasus into Eastern Europe.

As for whether Ahmed will agree......

"If you don't agree, you have to agree, if you don't agree, then we will take it ourselves, if the Ming army lands on the coast of the Persian Gulf, will you be able to keep Basra or Kuwait? Mr. Hassan, I need to remind you that if you sue for peace at that time, it will be Baghdad that needs to be ceded again, and in fact our Emperor Majesty is already very generous, and His Majesty just does not want you to keep your access to the Indian Ocean. You and I are well aware that these places are worthless except Basra, nothing more than a few small oases in the desert, and I can't think of anyone else who can be as merciful as our Majesty in exchange for your chance to survive in exchange for such a barren land. ”

Liang Cheng said to the Ottoman envoy Hassan.

"Your Excellency, we are not desperate to come and beg for mercy, we just don't want the two sides to shed any more blood because of the war."

Hassan said with a solemn face.

"Oh, then you'd better ask your gods to bless you, and the coalition forces in Europe love peace as much as you do."

Liang Cheng said with a smile.

"Ugh!"

Hassan shut up.

The reason why they sued for peace was because they knew very well who was the number one enemy now, and the Ming army wanted nothing more than to ask them to point the land, but the European Catholic League wanted their lives, and the land that the Ming army wanted was the least valuable, except for Basra, the others that could be said to be thrown away are not rare, but the Europeans are eroding step by step, all of which are the richest land in their hands. Now that the Swedes have occupied Crimea, they will definitely go south to the Balkans, Sweden, Poland again, and now with the combined forces of Brandenburg, Denmark, Saxony and other countries, they will continue to attack Bulgaria with the combined forces of Transylvania, Wallachia and Moldova.

Once Bulgaria has fallen, the next step is for the combined Catholic and Orthodox armies to attack Istanbul.

Prince Eugen of Austria was held back by the mountains of Kosovo, but he continued to advance step by step, and even more terrifyingly, the Greek and Macedonian Orthodox rebellions, where the Ottoman army was already in disarray, and this situation did not last long. Once this side is opened, then the combined forces of Austria and Sweden will be in Istanbul, and the city will have no hope of holding it, and once Istanbul is lost, what will be left of the Ottoman Empire? What's more, the remaining point is still facing the attack of the Russian and Persian coalition forces, and the southern front must always be vigilant against the attack of the Ming Dynasty.

Now they really can't hold on.

"Mr. Hassan, you have no other choice."

Liang Cheng said with a smile.

"Your Excellency Shangshu, if peace is restored between the two sides, does that mean that your country's arms exports to us will also resume?"

Hassan asked.

"Of course, as long as we both restore peace, then friendship will also be restored, so how we were before, and what will be like after the friendship is restored."

Liang Cheng said.

Well, Emperor Yang felt that it was time to add some fun to the lives of his friends in Europe, and if the Ottoman Empire promised to end the war by paying reparations to the Ming Dynasty, then he would also sell rifled weapons to the Ottoman Empire, so that the European countries would encounter some pressure, but it would not be enough to change the situation in the Balkans. Because now that the Ottoman rule in the Balkans has de facto collapsed, even if Ahmet III armed his army with rifled guns, it is impossible to retake the Balkans, he can hold Istanbul at most, and it depends on the determination of the Catholic League, if the two Charles are determined to restore Constantinople, then the Ottomans will still have to be driven out of Europe.

But Russia and Persia will be out of luck.

These two countries that could only use smoothbore weapons would be beaten by the enraged Ottoman Empire, and if Ahmet III could exchange Bulgaria and Greek Macedonia for a truce in the European Catholic League, the Ottomans would be free to vent their anger on these two wild dogs. And both Yang Feng and European countries are very fond of watching this, Charlie will like to watch Peter being beaten, and Yang Feng will like to watch Persia being beaten, because the latter is his dish, and if necessary, it will be good to divide Persia with the Ottoman Empire.

As for the great cause of eradicating greenery......

This is a long-term job, and he hasn't even solved it in Egypt yet! And once the Ottoman Empire ceded the Persian Gulf coast to the Ming Dynasty, then it would take time to clean up this area, in fact, in Yang Feng's plan, it would take at least twenty years to solve this problem, and there was no hurry.

"There is one more condition."

Liang Cheng said suddenly.

"Please."

Hassan said.

"Quite simply, your country cannot prohibit the spread of the Holy Religion in your country, that is to say, you cannot prohibit the followers of the Holy Religion from setting up holy shrines in your country, so that in the future, our merchants will not have no place to worship the gods when doing business in your country."

Liang Cheng said.

Hassan nodded.

He didn't take it seriously, in fact the Ottoman Empire was not intolerant of other religions, and the Patriarch of Constantine is still in Istanbul, but this patriarch is the petty pet of Ahmet III, and the Orthodox Christianity is also legal in its territory. It's just that Orthodox Christians are discriminated against, especially the tax burden is heavier, and occasionally they will be killed or something, but it is not that they are not allowed to believe in God, in fact, the Ottoman emperor is not interested in forcing others to believe in Lao Mu, because once he becomes his brother, the tax paid is greatly reduced, so there are a large number of Orthodox Christians in the Ottoman Empire.

Of course, this is the main reason why Ahmed III is currently unlucky.

However, this also proves that they are not intolerant of other religions, since they have tolerated God for hundreds of years, of course, they will not be too resistant to Yang Sheng's arrival, anyway, it is just a trivial matter.

In fact, when Liang Cheng said that he could let go of the sale of rifled weapons to them, Hassan already knew very well that the best choice was to agree, the land could be reluctantly accepted, and the indemnity of 100 million dragon yuan was not a big deal, the Ottoman Empire was not one of those small European countries, and the Ottomans at this time were not the era when later generations were consumed as the sick man of West Asia, in fact, they had just reached the peak of their heyday, and hundreds of years of looting and accumulating huge wealth were still piled up in the palace.

The vassals of Transylvania alone pay them as much as 250,000 gold coins every year, and although 100 million dragon dollars is a lot, it is only equivalent to more than 200 times the vassalage fee of Transylvania.

Well, it does seem like a lot. (To be continued.) )
