Chapter 770: Same Green Sect, Different Worlds
"These damn Japanese dwarfs!" Abdul. Mohammed. Jia Qiqi's face turned red. However, he was powerless to change that. The title of Prince of Ottoman is meaningless in the South Seas. Abdul. Mohammed. Gachi can report and protest to the local Chinese government, but how effective it is, all the people in the mission know with their toes.
"Your Highness, please be calm. Don't give hatred to the knife that kills, the person who holds the handle is the real murderer. Deputy Envoy Ahmed Pasha said with a calm face. How familiar this scene is to the Ottoman Empire. That's the rhythm of 'conquest'!
"Sure enough, that scene in Yangon is not credible!" Abdul. Mohammed. The reason why Gage is so excited is not only because of the persecution and oppression that the Green Cultists have been subjected to in Nanyang, but also because he has a sense of being deceived in his heart.
Everyone has their own pride and self-esteem. Even Abdul. Mohammed. Gaci did not have much real power in the Ottomans.
But Abdul. Mohammed. Gaitch also does not allow himself to be foolishly deceived. It's just that the clarity of his mind lets him know to unleash the spearhead of hatred on the Japanese, not at the powerful and invincible China.
"Pasha. The relationship between China and the Japanese is not that of a murderer and a murder weapon. It was the relationship between the high nobles and the tax collectors. Chinese may be selfish in their hearts, but they have a lot of concerns. The traditional morality of their people did not allow their government to act too brutally. Moreover, the Chinese have never denied that all of Japan's actions in the South Seas are indirectly related to them. "Guard Officer Mahmud. Shefkite carefully read some of the laws and regulations promulgated by China in Nanyang. He was angry at first, but now he doesn't.
None of the people who came to China did not know what happened in the northwest of China more than 30 years ago. This is an unbreakable scar between the heavenly world and China. It is a taboo that must be tacitly ignored on both sides.
The original Ottoman Sultan stood on the side of the Eutheistic rebels and canonized Aquba. Even officers and a part of the arms were sent to support Aguba. The Chinese did not use this question to ask the Osman Xingshi about the crime, which is already very kind. If the Ottomans had expressed their public displeasure with what had happened to the Greens in the South Seas. Relations between the two countries may soon come to an end.
And what would happen to the Ottoman Empire, which lacked China's support and was forced to go into debt by China, was clear to everyone in the mission. Abdul. Hamid II had never believed in the existence of a country that was not interested in his own land, and he smiled at China and was extremely wary of it. The purpose of this mission is a testament to this!
So the chief and deputy envoy Abdul. Mohammed. Gaci and Ahmed Pasha were angry at the situation in the South Seas, but they also dared not speak out. They quickly became hostile to China. And the guard officer Mahmud. Shefkite thinks that this is precisely a proof that China has not taken too much from the Ottomans now, at least in the short term!
The Middle East is full of Green Cultists, and China has used this method to 'suppress' Green Cultists in the South Seas. In Central Asia, in the Kazakh steppes, where the Green Religion spread, the methods of the Chinese will be even more brutal, for reasons that do not need to be explained. China's rule in Central Asia will be more precarious, and it will be longer to maintain stable rule. This time can take twenty or thirty years.
The Chinese need time to digest large swaths of land and digest the fruits. Their fame will make the celestial world more and more violently resistant and hostile to it through the voice of the people, and it is clear that China cannot immediately pose a threat to the Ottoman land and sovereignty. On the contrary, in order to make the Green Cultists of Central Asia and the South Seas docile and docile, in order to digest vested interests as soon as possible. They may also have a request for His Majesty the Sultan. Because the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire is the caliph of the entire Green Cult and the entire heavenly world!
With the chief and deputy envoy Abdul. Mohammed. Gachi and Ahmed Pasha's simple anger and patience were compared to the squire officer Mahmud. Shefkite quickly won the approval of everyone with his wisdom. Abdul. Mohammed. Gache and Ahmed Pasha are not stingy and jealous people, and they do not feel Mahmud in the slightest. Shefkite disgraced himself and praised him even more. Because of his wisdom, he had the idea to better protect the interests of the Ottomans.
Their own interests made the two quickly abandon their pity for the Nanyang Green Cultists. Didn't the Ottoman Empire do the same before!
Mahmud. Shevkate was also officially promoted from a simple guard officer, a mid-ranking officer of the Ottoman Empire, and the leader of the armed forces of the Mission. became the number three in the true sense of the word. His wisdom allowed him to give his voice to the mission on Chinese matters.
"Then let's put aside our prejudices and carefully observe all of China's actions in the South Seas. Japanese. A very meaningful existence. He diverted the hatred of the local Green Church towards the Chinese. This is just as ingenious as the application of the Chinese when the Europeans ruled the East Indies. The difference is only that the Chinese in the European era grabbed wealth, and the Japanese in the Chinese era grabbed power. This statement is not absolute. But Mahmud. Shefkite didn't elaborate too much. The Ottoman Empire drew political wisdom from this, and the Ottoman Empire was home to a large number of non-Green believers who were inextricably linked to the Europeans of the West, and were among the most serious threats to the Ottoman Empire, just like the aristocrats at home who were in collusion with the monotheists.
The Ottoman mission's every move was under close Chinese surveillance, and not long after the mission's 'Big Three' made their own remarks, these words were transmitted to Liu Siam through the Military Intelligence Bureau to Beijing.
Because Liu Xian could have been sure that the situation in Nanyang would make the Ottomans very dissatisfied. So when I was in India, the people in the MIA had already used money to buy off many people in different positions in the mission. They have regular members of the mission, soldiers who protect the security of the mission, and the chief and deputy envoys Abdul. Mohammed. Garchie and Ahmed Pasha's retinue and guards. The MIA spent almost 10,000 pounds, but it was definitely worth the money.
The same scene took place in Central Asia, in the Persian prince Muhammad. Ali. What about the mission led by Sha. The operation here is easier than that of the Ottoman mission. Because of Muhammad. Ali. The Persian mission led by Shah traveled by train and camels. Actions on land are always easier and more convenient than on the sea.
Liu Xian knew very little about the Ottomans, and in his previous life, he had not paid attention to this country at all. In addition to knowing that this country seems to have supported the 'East and Turkia', and Kemal and this is a European country with more than 90% of the country's land in Asia, there is also Turkish barbecue.
Like the current Ottoman Sultan Abdul. Hamid II, chief and deputy envoy Abdul. Mohammed. Gachi and Ahmed Pasha and others were not impressed at all. Before the military intelligence department did not investigate the Ottomans, Liu Xian had only seen the territory of the Ottoman Empire on a map. The Ottoman Empire, which he had contacted because of the threat from Russia, had fallen to a notch in China's political environment with the fall of Tsarist Russia.
This country is too much valued by the Western world. If China wants to reap the benefits of this country, it will not only have to invest a lot, but also face the Ottoman backlash and the counterattack of the Western world at any time, so it is better to focus on Persia. Extracting Persian interests would at best touch a British.
Historically, the Ottoman Empire after World War I was completely divided by Westerners, while the Kingdom of Persia was divided between Britain and Russia before World War I. Today's China, even if Persia messes up, can replace Tsarist Russia and divide the Persian kingdom equally with John Bull.
So, Mahmud . Shefkite was right. In order to better digest the South Seas and Central Asia, Liu Xian really needed the public statement of the Ottoman Sultan. Even if the Sultan caliphate is just an empty head!
But Mahmud . Shefkett's words weren't all right. China's treatment of the indigenous people of Central Asia is far more favourable than that of the Nanyang Green Cultists. Because the indigenous population here is small, and except for a few ethnic groups who have followed the Aguba, the others are not harmful to China. On the contrary, they are in awe of China.
Not to mention the war that was pushed to Tsarist Russia, just to say that in the first Sino-Russian war during the Tongzhi period, Liu Xian beat the Russian army under the condition of absolute disadvantage, and he had already erected his own resounding name in the whole of Central Asia. However, this is only Liu Xian's personal reputation, and it does not match China's overall strength. However, with the end of the Second and Third Sino-Russian Wars, the impression of China, a country that is stronger than Tsarist Russia, has penetrated into the hearts of every Central Asian over the past ten or twenty years.
Therefore, after the Third Sino-Russian War, the Chinese, who annexed a small half of Central Asia, encountered far less resistance in Central Asia than the Russians. After the Chinese were completely pushed to Tsarist Russia in the Fourth Sino-Russian War, and conquered all of Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as the Volga River, the impression of China's invincibility was rooted in the hearts of all Central Asian peoples.
China's domination in Central Asia is still easier than imagined. There are few people in Central Asia, and the Central Asians have suffered from the oppressive rule and harsh oppression of the Russians before this, and China is much better than Tsarist Russia in this regard. Of course, it cannot be denied that there are resistors, but the situation in Central Asia and the situation in Nanyang are really two different worlds!
The brutality and oppression of the Russians were not comparable to those of the Dutch, and the fertile South Seas were not comparable to those of the relatively barren Central Asia. The natives of the South Seas are still living happily under the exploitation of the Dutch, while the natives of Central Asia are not even able to eat enough food under the pressure of Russia.
What's in Central Asia? In addition to the land and geographical advantages, the people here have only grazing, and large-scale agriculture is as rare as an oasis in the desert. The Russians occupied this place, not only because of their greed for land, but also because Russia had a desire to export to India and the Indian Ocean.
Their brutality and perverse practices directly provided absolute support for China's domination of Central Asia.
Muhammad. Ali. Sand in Turkmenistan, in Tajikistan, in Kazakhstan, all you see is a 'peaceful' scene. When the Ottoman mission entered Luzon, Muhammad. Ali. Sha has also entered Anxi Province, which has been well known and accepted by the Chinese people! (To be continued......)
