Before the fall of Constantinople, on the Ottoman side, Mehmed II had proposed to Constantine XI that if he gave up Constantinople, he would be allowed to rule Mystras. However, at that time, Constantine XI rejected this suggestion.

And now, as the Ottoman Empire that has conquered Constantine, the Ottoman Empire that is rising day by day, and it is not the Southern Song Dynasty court, this empire is in a period of extremely crazy expansion, how can it agree to the territorial claims put forward by Ding Yi? Even if Ding Yi's side only proposes to return Mystras, it is still unacceptable, and Ottoman is on the journey to European hegemony.

So Mehmed II declared war on Ding Yi, and there is a clever detail here, which is that Mehmed II, in his own name, declared war on Ding Yi, not the Ottomans on the Ming Dynasty. Even, the prince of the Ottoman Empire, Bayeselli, as a named disciple of Ding Yi, the tuition fee he paid to Ding Yi every month, |excellent|small|said|more|new|most|fast|WWW.UUXS.CC|still delivered to the city of Alexandria on time.

"It's a ridiculous thing to show off his minions to me, and he's trying to use his urine to scare my cannon."

Ding Yi said to Sofia with a smile, and then he seemed to only now find out that this was the newlywed's cave room, which made him look apologetic: "I'm sorry, maybe we should go to the living room." I had just received a battle report, so we had a discussion nearby. ”

While speaking, Wen Fatzi commanded the soldiers of the guard regiment and brought a large stack of files. To start the war against the Ottomans, it is definitely not possible to solve the problem with a single determination, and there are many military strategies that need to be planned.

"Nope! Don't leave. My dear. Sofia took Ding Yi's hand, and she looked at him. Blue eyes like a puddle of water, "Right here." At least, I can look at you, my emperor. Then she was very brave, and in full view of everyone, she kissed Ding Yi and kissed him fiercely.

After a long time, Ding Yi was able to separate from her, staring at her Greek face, Ding Yi stroked her cheek with the back of his hand: "You are such a beautiful girl. And it's not the first time I've seen you, but I'm not realizing it until now. Ding Yi smiled and helped her sit down, "If you want, then, as you wish, I will work here." If you feel tired, you can go to the next room and rest. ”

Then Ding Yi returned to his bookcase, as time went on. More and more people are entering this cave room.

Because it involves details, the assistance of staff officers is required; And in terms of soldier mobilization and logistical support, there is even a squire of the household department and several directors of the military department. They were all invited in the middle of the night. Sofia saw a huge war machine kicking in, efficient and concise, from what she could grasp the official language of the Great Ming. She could feel the terrifying energy of this war plane after it was activated.

"Why am I sitting here. Like a superfluous person? She suddenly felt a little sad.

Ding Ruyu also came in, with her female soldiers and her generals; Natural stay also came in. The director of the field hospital with her also had a long list of medicines. Even Xue Ning seemed busy, sending supper, snacks, and tea from time to time, because of such a major event as the military aircraft in the inner house, it was impossible for ordinary servants to come in.

Only Sofia has nothing to do.

She was a brave woman, otherwise she would not have escaped from Constantine.

So she decided not to play a beautiful ornament anymore, she got up and walked to Ding Yi: "My emperor, if you will allow me, I would like to share my opinion on the situation of the Ottomans. Her words caused Liu Yiyi's brows to furrow, because everyone was very busy, and they really didn't have time to chat with Sofia to relieve their boredom.

Ding Ruyu laughed even more on the spot, and said to Liu Ji: "Translate my words to her, have you ever killed someone?" Even during the long days when Constantine was under siege, did you go up the walls and kill people? Do you know what a charred corpse tastes like? Do you know if the blood is warm or hot when it spurts on your face? We're talking about the lives and deaths of thousands of people. "Even the most useless woman has saved the lives of countless soldiers, and she can cut out clusters of arrows, correct broken bones, and suture wounds for soldiers from flesh and blood." What can you do? ”

Speaking of this, she looked Sofia up and down, nodded and said, "You look very good at giving birth, help the young master give birth to a child, I think, there is no need to ask a nurse then." This is definitely a very vulgar and vitriolic mockery, so much so that Liu Ji did not translate it again when he arrived later.

"Ruyu, don't do this." Ding didn't raise his head and said Ruyu, not so much to shout, but to persuade out of politeness, "Yiyi, you don't say Ruyu either." In fact, none of the women around Ding Yi are good at stubble, and Liu Yiyi obviously can't suppress the scene.

As Morena said, when Zhang Yu was there, it was okay; And after Zhang Yu passed away, words were often swords.

"My Emperor, if you will allow me, to give my opinion on the situation in the Ottomans." There were tears in her eyes, in fact, even if Liu Ji didn't translate the following words, she could understand part of it. But she was still strong, repeating what she had just said, "I will not only bring you the crown of ancient Rome. ”

Ding Yi finally raised his head, he raised his hand, and stopped Ruyu and Tianda, who were about to speak again.

"It's my pleasure, please." Ding Yi was willing to give this woman a chance, and he thought he should give her such a chance. Whether it was because she was also a nominal wife, or this place was originally his and hers' marriage room.

So Sofia stood in front of the huge map on the wall, she didn't know how to read the map, or rather, she couldn't read it at all, the contour map, for generals and commanders with actual combat experience, perhaps out of sensitivity to the battlefield, could quickly even guess and understand. But in the eyes of people who have not been trained and have never commanded troops, it is not easy to understand.

"Excuse me, where is Constantinople?" She asked Liu Ji very politely.

Of course, this provoked Ding Ruyu's sneer, and Liu Yiyi shook her head helplessly, they thought that Sofia was wasting precious time.

However, Liu Ji still pointed out to her the location of Constantinople at Ding Yi's instructions.

Immediately afterwards, Sofia asked a few more places, and Liu Ji pointed them out for her one by one.

She spoke: "The Ottoman Empire was indeed strong, and the fall of Constantinople was not only because of the strength of the Ottomans. ”

"Constantinople fell because we were in fact isolated in Europe."

"Constantine XI asked for help from the countries of Europe, but the condition of the West was to merge the Orthodox Church with the Roman Catholic Church. Although Constantine agreed to this condition in 1452, the besieged people of Constantinople opposed the annexation. ”

This is the fundamental reason why Constantine did not receive assistance.

"In addition to the support that the Ming Dynasty has been giving in terms of weapons in the past few years, there is also the emperor's minister Sijing. Yang, apart from recruiting some mercenaries for us in the Mediterranean, we have no reinforcements at all, let alone a chance to counterattack. ”

Sofia took the water handed over by Ding Yi and Cao Jixiang, took a sip and continued her story.

"The fall of Constantine was more due to religious problems."

"Venice has seen the fate of Constantine, and the Pope cannot sit idly by and watch the Ottoman expansion continue."

"Volvod Stephen of Moldova and King Matthias I of Hungary, according to rumors in the upper class of Europe, already have the intention of joining Venice against the Ottoman League!"

"And if Skanderbeg had been a little smarter, he would have moved closer to this rebellion against the Ottoman alliance."

Ding Yi stood up, motioned for Sofia to stop, and asked Wen Fatzi, "Which country is Skanderbeg?" ”

Without waiting for the fat man to consult the files and military newspapers, Sofia drew a general area on the map with her snow-white fingers: "This is it!" George. Castellotti. Skanderbeg! He was born into a Byzantine aristocracy, and his father was one of the minor lords who rebelled against the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I. After the failure of resistance, he was forced to surrender and surrender his four sons, including George, as hostages. ”

"After George was forced to convert to Islam, he underwent military training in Adrianople and became the commander of the Ottoman Empire."

Ding Yi raised his hand again, signaling that there was no need to say it, because the range that Sofia had drawn on the map, he knew at a glance, Albania. In this way, he was enough to string together the memories, and yes, the Albanian national hero Skanderbeg, after being named the Alexander Lord of Albania by the Ottomans, found an opportunity to resolutely rebel with three hundred horsemen, renounce his faith, and return to Catholicism.

"In the West, if we were to go to war against the Ottomans, we had many natural allies."

"My Emperor, Sofia is more than just bringing you the crown of ancient Rome."

Ding Yi walked out of the desk, walked in front of her, stretched out his hand to her with a smile, and pulled her out: "No, of course you are not an ornament, you have proven yourself." ”

Even Ding Ruyu, who had the worst attitude, nodded, knowing that this information is one thing, and it is another thing to be able to string this information together and dare to stand up and do such an analysis of the international situation. So even Ding Ruyu agrees with Sofia and has the qualifications to speak at the military conference

"But it's not love." Ding Yi said this to her in Greek.

Sofia shook her head, she looked at Ding Yi: "No, this is love." At least for me, with you, it's the love I'm looking forward to. Every woman of the European aristocracy would agree with this. (To be continued......) R1292
