Chapter Seven: The Wind and the Sorrow (8)
Needless to say, this disciple was Bayesset, the son of Muhammad II, who came to Ding Yi as a hostage; The document, on the other hand, was an agreement in which it was proposed that Mehmed II would return a portion of Byzantine territory for the founding of the new Roman Empire, in accordance with the previous proposal of Ding Yi.
With a large number of captives, he collected the horses he had abandoned along the way, returned to Ding Yi in Smyrna, and after handing over this document from Muhammad II to Liu Ji, he instructed: "You and Mr. Yang Hao will decide on the candidates in detail, draw up a plan and submit it, and this document will be filed in the name of the Treaty of Manisa." ”
Manisa is the place where Ding Yi stopped in pursuit of Mehmed II.
This treaty began in Focha, to Menemen, to Manisa, then to Turgutlu, to Thierre, and then to Sekey.
It is about the center of Esmyrna's circle, an irregular circle.
How big is it? Together with the peninsula and several islands in the sea, it is about the size of almost one and a half Lebanon.
In addition, there were four million taels of silver, which were converted into horses and slaves to give Ding Yi as a gift to celebrate the founding of the new Roman Empire. Ironically, Mehmed II was the one who buried Eastern Rome, and this will celebrate the founding of New Rome? Of course, in the end, but in terms of war reparations.
So Ding Yi's side, whether it is Ding Yi, Xu Bin, or Liu Ji/, they are all smiling and silent about this article.
And they don't think there's a problem, but some people do.
"Boss, this place is not as good as that Brusa!" Qian Chujiu is on the side. I watched the fat man mark the small-scale map on the wall according to the content of the treaty. couldn't help but ask Ding Yi, "Although the price is sky-high." Sitting on the ground to pay back, but this has to be too ruthless, right? Let's chase him like a dog, and if we work harder, we will get Brusa off at some point! ”
How big is Brusa and what is its strategic significance? Qian Chujiu didn't understand, but he had communicated with those traffickers in Smyrna about the slave girl market in Brusa, and it was said that there were all kinds of slave girl trafficking there! That's what he cares about. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked like this, he is not as studious and intelligent as Li Dongyang.
Ding Yi didn't care. Hearing this, he just smiled and said: "Sitting on the ground and paying back the money, this word is appropriate." Yes, that's the reason. But we've only prepared a table of dishes, and you can't do it if you want to set up a flowing water table. So Mehmed II saw this and drafted the treaty. ”
Muhammad II was not a man of grievance, he ceded these territories because he knew very well that the territory of this region was within the radius of Smyrna, whether he ceded it or not! In the case of his loss of hundreds of thousands of steps to ride. It is unlikely that he will conquer Smyrna again in the short term - there are naturally soldiers and horses, and the Ottoman has such a vast territory, the problem is that he has no way to defeat Ding Yi at all.
As a hero, a ruler who can be called a conqueror. He knew very well that even if he entangled the soldiers and horses, he would re-enlist Smyrna. I'm afraid the ending is not much better. You know, this is the moment when Smyrna's defenses are empty. If Din had placed the 1st Janissary Division in Smyrna, he would not have been able to escape even if Muhammad II had escaped. Of course. If he hadn't received the news that the 1st Janissary Division had gone to sea, he would not have raised troops to attack.
Therefore, the so-called strong man broke his wrist, but in this case, he was willing to give up these territories that he was unable to control in the near future to Ding Yi, and even took the initiative to provide a legal basis in exchange for Ding Yi's stop.
Bayezid was a pledge to take as a hostage and wait for Mehmed II to pay four million taels of silver.
Ding Yi's victory, the whole of Europe was shocked, whether it was Louis XI or Frederick III, whether it was Charles the Bold or the King of England and the Pope, almost when they got this report, they said disapprovingly: "The Thirteen Knights of Poseidon, a new trick, right?" What do you do in the newspaper? ”
And after two weeks, I found out that this was really not a trick made up by the Moe Niang Knights who were all over Europe advocating the traces of Ding Yi's war. These European monarchs were stunned. Most directly, the reaction of King Enrique IV of Castile. Enrique IV, the so-called Thirteen Knights of Poseidon, was the only knight who really had an officer card, a title, a military uniform, and armor, Isabella's elder brother.
Because Enrique IV wanted Isabella to marry the prince of Portugal, and the latter ran away from home to Smyrna to find Ding Yi.
So the king of Castile was furious, Isabella was originally a candidate to succeed to the throne of Castile, but her brother had already begun to prepare to appoint his daughter Juana as the heir to the throne.
Especially the Thirteen Horsemen of Poseidon, after the joke spread in Europe.
He thinks this half-sister is a joke!
However, after the Treaty of Manisa was confirmed by Mehmed II, King Enrique IV of Castile quietly suspended a series of moves to appoint Juana as his heir.
Because of Ding Yi's short-term protection, it is now not only in the Ming Dynasty, but also in Europe.
At least Enrique IV didn't intend to provoke Ding Yi at this time, at least not because of him.
Of course, he wrote a letter to Ding Yi, accusing his sister of running away from home and accusing her of disobeying the marriage arrangement.
Under pressure from the nobility, Enrique IV appointed his half-sister Isabella as crown prince on the condition that she be married to a widowed king of Portugal. Isabella ran away from home in this way, violating the conditions of succession.
So he also mentioned this in the letter, that is, if Isabella does not fulfill the marriage contract, then she will lose the right to inheritance.
After Ding Yi received this letter, he threw it to Liu Ji: "Sue him, Isabella has the freedom to marry." ”
These words made Xu Bin immediately object: "Your Majesty, you must not!" How can there be a private life? Naturally, it is the words of his parents, his father died, that is, his father died and his brother was the elder, and his eldest brother was the master, but it was right! ”
Although Ding Yi disagreed with Xu Bin's opinion, he had no intention of confronting the entire Eastern and Western traditions.
It's just that he won't let go of his bottom line: "She is an officer with the rank of chief flag of the Ming Metropolitan Governor's Mansion; She was a warrant officer in the 1st Division of the Roman Praetorian Guard. Mr. Yang Hao, when a woman joined the army, like a man in armor and fierce, and charged into battle, he had already proved to himself that women were not goods, not accessories! Military Marriage Freedom! ”
Speaking of this, Xu Bin had no choice but to sit down.
The freedom of military marriage is a decree that has been issued in the Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas.
It was not issued by Ding Yi privately, it was the will of Yingzong when he was still in power, and it was handed over to the ministry, the cabinet vote, and the celebrant and the celebrant seal. Because at that time, the grandson of the lame wolf led the cavalry of the Timurid Empire to coerce Tianzhu and Nepalese servant troops into Tibet, and many living Buddhas asked for help. Among the doctors who accompanied the army, more than a dozen of them were daughters of the Liangguangwang clan, and they were sent to study medicine in order to tie up Ding Yi.
Of course, those noble families did not want their daughters to travel with the army, and wanted them to go home on the grounds that they were going to get married. That was when Ding Yi was already powerful, otherwise, he was afraid that the first division of the Ming Dynasty would dare to drain out the dirty water such as recruiting women from good families as prostitutes. So naturally Du was very angry, and as soon as the stupidity came up, he went on that fold.
At that time, the civilian clique was looking forward to the first division of the Ming Dynasty going to the front line, and the civilian officials also knew that there were no military doctors and the morale of the soldiers was low, so the ministry had no obstacle to pass this article. It was naturally impossible for Yingzong to be embarrassed, so after this decree was issued, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas basically followed this example.
So Ding Yi brought it up, and Xu Bin had no choice but to give up.
Liu Ji didn't panic at all, and even translated the will at that time into Castile's text, Ding Yi leaned over and looked at it, it was really not difficult to know, Xindaya was good, and he couldn't find fault with it. So this reply letter has only four Chinese characters, which is "freedom of military marriage". However, the attachment is very long.
Because Liu Ji not only translated the decree of the time, but also listed the cases in which the Metropolitan Governors of the Four Seas have invoked this law over the years. There are female soldiers who are forced to marry by their families, and they are exempt from this law.
In short, unless Isabella was expelled from the army, or she applied for retirement, Enrique IV had no legal right to force her to marry anyone. In fact, Enrique can completely ignore it, Isabella is free to marry in the military, right? Then go freely, then don't inherit the right! But unless Enrique had the courage to start a war with Ding Yi, he would never dare to do so.
"Is this necessary, sir?" After Liu Ji finished the letter, he pondered for a long time, and finally opened his mouth to Ding Yi.
"Yes." Ding Yi's answer was extremely concise.
So Liu Ji didn't ask any more.
"No matter how powerful she is, no matter whether her actions are effective or not, you must know that Warrant Officer Isabella, who is an officer of the Propaganda Section of the Praetorian Division, has worked hard in Europe to carry out her job, and she is doing her best to fulfill the tasks entrusted to her by her superiors." Liu Ji didn't ask again, but Ding Yi opened his mouth to discuss this issue with him in detail.
"Mr. Shengming!" Liu Ji woke up at one o'clock, and it was precisely because he understood that he understood the cleverness of Ding Yi's reply.
That's how you buy a horse bone!
No matter how the upper class in Europe satirizes those little Lori, they are indeed doing their best, and that's enough.
This reason is enough for Ding Yi to stand up for her.
There was a bitter smile on Ding Yi's face, because he really didn't mean that.
He just wanted women to have their own independent personalities.
However, whether it is Xu Bin or Liu Ji, they obviously think that this is a thousand dollars to buy horse bones.
And after the content of this reply spread, something happened that Ding Yi did not expect and was caught off guard.
Not only Ding Yi, but almost the entire European upper class society was dumbfounded. (To be continued......)
