Chapter 858
Li Xiao went back and forth like a donkey in the Sultan's palace, which was the palace that the Sultan hunted outside the city of Constantinople, and was brutally occupied by Li Xiao.
Soon, the palace will have its original owner.
Li Xiao's brain is running rapidly, and it takes great perseverance and courage to kill two million people with a knife and axe. This kind of thing can only be thought of in the mind in general, and it is Hitler who really gives it to the one who implements it.
Even Hitler took several years to kill millions of Jews. The situation he faced was very different from that of Li Xiao, could it be that he also wanted to build a concentration camp to imprison these two million Turks, and then find an opportunity to kill them slowly?
After thinking about it, Li Xiao still didn't dare to write his name on the roster of human butchers. Generally speaking, people whose names are written on it don't end well.
Since you can't kill it, you have to find a way to settle it.
In one fell swoop, how could I find so many houses to house two million people.
After thinking about it, Li Xiao still couldn't make up his mind. But he had to figure it out as soon as possible, after all, he only had an hour. After this time, either kill all these people, or watch two million people pounce on their positions.
These people must not be allowed to come close to their positions, because if they do not shoot, the crowds will overwhelm their positions like a flood. Then all that's left is killing.
"Hey......!" Li Xiao sighed, he didn't expect Suleiman II to be such a wise person. But then again, people who can sit on the throne of God are generally not stupid.
"What are you waiting for? Fire the guns, if they do rush over. It will snatch the guns of the fighters, and it will be difficult to contain them when the time comes. "Ao Canghai is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
The rocket artillery has been loaded, just waiting for Li Xiao's order. The rocket launcher is too damn wide, and if you don't fire it again, it's easy to accidentally injure your own people.
You have to open fire, or you won't have a chance.
"Big brother, let's shoot!" Li Hu also persuaded him that he was also a militant.
Killing two million people is not a big deal for them at all. As long as they don't kill the Ming people, even if they kill all the people in the world, they don't have any psychological burden.
Li Xiao saw that Sun Xing wanted to speak and stopped, pointed at Sun Xing and said, "Tell me about it." ”
This guy inherited his dad's prudence, but also his dad's wisdom.
"Dashuai!" Sun Xing looked left and right at Ao Ye and Li Hu, these two were already impatient.
"The lower officials feel that we should return Constantinople to the Turks. We just need to kill the Ottoman sultans and their prime minister, Ahmet. I asked the captive, he was the wise man of the Ottoman Empire. ”
"Let it go! Your brain is in water, let's come all the way to capture Constantinople, you say you will let it go? ”
"If you kill someone else's sultan, won't they come to take revenge in the future?"
"Have you seen the map, how important Constantinople is, as long as the card lord Constantinople, the Black Sea is a lake. Whoever controls the Black Sea also controls the entire Balkans and the Slavs, and even the Caucasus. ”
Hearing Sun Xing's suggestion, Li Hu and Ao Canghai almost jumped up. The battle of thousands of miles is for this battle. Li Xiao also said that this is the last battle. In the future, the Ming Dynasty will hardly launch any more large-scale wars.
Daming's vision will be put back to China and actively carry out domestic economic construction. Further improve the people's livelihood in China!
If the last battle is not completed, there will be no chance of fighting in the future. And......! Both of them were worried that in the future in the Ming Empire, the status of the army would decline.
In fact, the entire Ming Dynasty did this.
In addition to the famous generals in the Zhu Hongwu era, most of the military generals who led the military generals in the rest of the time were civilian officials. Literati politics gave birth to a defeat that made the whole of China cry.
For example: civil forts, such as Salhu.
The army is in the hands of the soldiers, and the value of the army is reflected in the war. This is the consensus of all the generals in the army at the moment, and they are willing to provoke a world war if possible.
In fact, the Ming Dynasty's current national strength is enough to beat the world.
In order to ensure their own glory and wealth, the killers don't mind how many people the war will swallow. In the face of its own glory and wealth, world peace is not worth mentioning.
Sun Xing was a little nervous, because any of these two people could make him disappear silently, as if there was no such person as him in the world.
Li Xiao didn't speak, just looked at Sun Xing.
"Go on!"
Sun Xing swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and cold sweat was obviously oozing out of his head.
"The Great Marshal has never thought of sending people to rule here, and in fact, there is no way to rule here. Because our ethnicities are different, religions are different, and cultures are different. What they take for granted is not like that for them.
The idea is different, which makes it impossible for us to integrate. So, how can you guarantee that after the army, this will not become a powerful country again?
Xia Guan thinks that the Indian model is very good. Let the huge Ottoman Empire be divided into many small states. Even, a tribe can become a nation.
And the most important condition for creating such a situation is balance. However, the best way to maintain balance is to have many forces.
For now, Constantinople is in the hands of the Turks. Their armies had been devastated, and the Turks could no longer afford to sustain a vast empire.
But as a local power, Constantinople's presence was still valuable. There are Slavs, Romanians, Montenegrins, Serbs, Kurds in the east, Arabs, Yazidis, Persians.
There are also the small peoples of the Caucasus, including the Armenians, who were almost wiped out.
A hodgepodge of so many forces needs a-stirring stick. Or rather, the marshal needs a couple of-stirring sticks, and the Armenians are one. Because their hearts are full of hatred, and they want revenge.
But for religious attributes, we need another-stirring stick. The lower officials felt that the people of Constantinople were the most suitable. Because the Turks are the ones who can fight well and are not treated well by the whole region. They are the most suitable for-stirring sticks! ”
Sun Xing said, glancing at Li Xiao's expression.
Li Xiao was thinking about it, and when he saw Sun Xing pause, he said, "Go on." ”
Sun Xing licked his lips: "Dashuai, the lower officials think that if you want a place, you can't develop sustainably." The best thing to do is war, constant war.
And the only thing that causes the constant war is hatred! We have succeeded in creating hatred among the Kurds, Yazidis and Turks. Now we are going to create hatred among the Slavs and Turks. ”
"Oh, how?" Li Xiao was obviously interested in Sun Xing's proposal.
"Withdraw the troops and let the Slavs rob Constantinople. Kill Suleiman II! ”
What a cruel move, as long as the Slavs killed Suleiman II. The Orthodox Church and the religion of the Turks will form an undying hatred!
With the encouragement of the Ming Dynasty, there will definitely be a war between the two sides.
And the consequences of the war ......! Hehe! Let's play, play as much as you want. Give all the wealth of the Slavs and Turks to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming will give you many, many guns and ammunition to use to slaughter each other.
This kind of plundering method Li Xiao likes, likes it very much. At that time, as long as Daming does business, it will be good to make money with both hands.
If one side is not strong on the battlefield, it is easy to do so, sell them more weapons. In this way, through the balance of weapons, a balance of regional power can be created.
It has also objectively caused a unique situation in which the world is in turmoil and the Ming Dynasty enjoys peace.
Very good, very good! Li Xiao loves this plan!
"Good, good plan. You've been by my side all these years, and you've done well. After this matter is over, let you out. When the time comes, you can tell me where you want to go. Li Xiao nodded in agreement, Ao Canghai and Li Hu were anxious but there was no way.
No matter what they think in their hearts, Li Xiao's decision is the final decision.
"Thank you, Dashuai!" Sun Xingshen gave a bow.
"If that's the case, let Suleiman II come and see him. I'll also see how the Turkic king looks like a dog. ”
"Humph!" Ao Canghai snorted coldly, he was very dissatisfied with this plan.
Suleiman II sat on the ground with his eyes closed and did not speak.
This hour will be the one that will decide the fate of the Turks. Although he thought in his heart that the Ming people would not dare to kill the two million citizens of Constantinople behind him, he still had no score in his heart after all.
After all, now the handle of the knife is in someone's hands. What do people want to do, then do it.
A thousand words and a word, people are swords, I am fish and meat!
A group of cavalry galloped out of the Ming army's formation, and the standard-bearer held a large flag in his hand. The big banner with black characters on a red background is hunting with the sea breeze.
"Who is the Lord of Constantinople!" Sun Xinggao shouted, and immediately a tongue man translated his words.
Suleiman II opened his eyes and looked at the young general on a horse in front of him. I heard that the generalissimo of the army is also very young, is this the person in front of him?
"I'm Suleiman, are you the generalissimo of the Ming Kingdom?" Suleiman II said lightly.
Sun Xing didn't translate with his tongue, so he pointed to Suleiman II: "You, follow me to the front of the commander to reply." ”
Suleiman II stood up and dusted himself off. After drinking the guards who wanted to follow, he followed Sun Xing's horse into the Ming army's formation.
It was a deliberate humiliation, the horse kicked up smoke and dust in front, and Suleiman could only eat dust after the horse's buttocks. The road was very long, but Suleiman II walked smoothly and steadily, and his steps were even, fast and slow.
Sure enough, the king of a country is to have the bearing of a king of a country. It was definitely not a fluke that the Ottoman Empire was able to build a dynasty that lasted for hundreds of years.
After walking under the scorching sun for a long time, the sweat on Suleiman II's face mixed with smoke and dust. Flowing down his sideburns, this made him look a little embarrassed, but he still walked firmly, quite a generous posture to die.
Since he came with the Ming army, he was prepared to die. Since I'm not even ready to ask for my life, what's the big deal about my appearance.
Following Sun Xing, he came to the summer palace outside the city of Constantinople.
This is where he takes refuge every year, and he still comes here to escape the heat in the early summer of this year. Unexpectedly, just a few months later, he actually became a prisoner of the stairs and came here again. The impermanence of life is no longer enough to explain its essence.
At that time, the Ottoman Empire was still fierce and fierce, and he could never have imagined that it would be today. And the most bizarre thing is that the Ottoman Empire was thriving at that time, and there was not even a sense of oppression of war.
Who would have thought that just a few months later. The great empire has collapsed!
Everything was so fast, according to the habitual thinking of Suleiman II, the march from Adana to Constantinople was not so fast.
For the palace, he is much more familiar with it than Li Xiao.
When he came to the main hall, he saw Li Xiao, as well as Li Hu and Ao Canghai behind Li Xiao.
"You're Suleiman?" Li Xiao looked at Suleiman II.
"I'm Suleiman, you can kill me now, but please spare my subjects." Suleiman II listened to the translation of the tongue man and bowed deeply to Li Xiao.
"Arise, the king of one kingdom does not kill the king of another. Although I am not the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I still have this little demeanor. This is your palace, please be seated! Li Xiao gestured politely.
Suleiman II sat down, not understanding why Li Xiao would be so polite.
"You know why I'm here, I've given you a chance. I have sent an emissary to talk to you in order to obtain some Arab land by peaceful means. Those are deserts by the sea, and I think they can be obtained by exchanging benefits.
But you don't want to! Kill my messenger and bring me back the head. You're provoking, provoking my level of patience. It's a pity that I'm not a person who likes to endure very much.
So, here I am. So, your empire has become like this. Your people's lives are miserable, my Da Ming, spent a lot of unjust money.
Why, you say, is that? Obviously an agreement can be reached through negotiation, but I have to bring a large army to negotiate it. ”
"Your Excellency, Generalissimo, I actually wanted to negotiate at the beginning. But my generals, they don't like the land of the empire being occupied by infidels. Moreover, the messenger you sent is too rude.
Not only did they drink in the Dopkapi Palace, but they also hated the bad beef and mutton we served, and preferred to eat pig's trotters.
You don't know, wine is the original sin for our followers, and pork is something we hate. That's why they were beheaded.
Someone told me that you Ming people like to return to their roots. That's why I sent someone to bring back the bones. It's a pity that those people didn't think it was troublesome, so they just sent their heads back. "Suleiman II, as if on a defense.
"Oh, I see."
Li Xiao scratched his head, these two bastards are really damned. Drink wine in the royal palace of Mouslin, and fucking want to eat pork. What these two goods did can only be described in two words.
Look for trouble!
It seems that the quality of Ming diplomats really needs to be improved.
