Chapter 652: Going to the meeting alone
Suleiman nodded: "Yes, you are very right. Sismail, give the order to go down, block the news, and all roads leading to the empire from here are blocked. Can you tell me about the situation on the front line? ”
He nodded, and his mind couldn't help but think of the kind face of his teacher, Xi Nan Pasha: "Your Highness, this is a long and sad story. His Majesty the Sultan had intended to..."
Hua Houwei was discussing the overall concept of the Turan Lowlands with Wan Songlin, when someone outside reported: "Lord Wang, there is an Ottoman from outside the camp who claims to be Tumu Shibai. ”
Hua Houwei was stunned for a moment, looked at Wan Songlin, and ordered with a smile: "Let him come in, be careful not to let the Safavid and Uzbek people see it." Songlin, what do you think the wood and stone worship are for? ”
Wan Songlin thought for a while: "Master, Jimu Shibai must have gone to that Faka, and it must be the instruction of that Suleiman prince. Hehe, the opportunity to rip off the bamboo is here again! ”
Hua Houwei nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, Osman's throne is vacant, can Suleiman not be in a hurry?" Even if it is an enemy who kills his father, he must cooperate! ”
There were two people who came in, one was dressed as a guard, and the other was naturally a Mu Shibai. Wan Songlin said with a straight face: "This is my Royal Highness King Wu of the Ming Dynasty, who is coming?" ”
The Turk Mu Shibai bent down and saluted: "The Ottoman Anatolian Legion is the Ottoman Legion." I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince of the Ming Empire! ”
Hua Houwei looked at the two people who saluted, and always felt that something was not quite right, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't find anything, but just waved his hand: "It's okay." What are you doing in my camp? ”
Ji Mu Shi stood up and said sincerely: "Ask for peace!" The Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire were far apart from each other, and there was no conflict of interest, so this war was really a misunderstanding. ”
Hua Houwei said slowly: "Misunderstanding? Right? The Mu Shibai, the Ming Dynasty pursued Man Su'er, and what happened with Xi Bani was a misunderstanding. The Ottomans have nothing to do with this matter, but they want to participate in it and invade the Ming Empire, how can it be a misunderstanding? I've heard of you, and Garigul should have died at your hands. Well, the Sultan who killed his mentor and killed Mark Liumu can still castrate himself, he is a ruthless man. But this truth, even you, can't be clever words, right? ”
Mu Shibai sighed: "Your Highness, I really make sense when I say this. When His Majesty the Sultan sent troops, he once told my teacher that he wanted to form an alliance with the Ming Empire and destroy the armies of the Safavid Empire and the Makrumu Empire. It was only after entering the battlefield that His Majesty the Sultan wanted to show his strength and paralyze Ismaili and Gharigul, so he launched an attack on the Ming army. Who knew that a dozen, alas, the strength of the Ming Empire far exceeded that of the Ottoman Empire, causing such a tragedy. ”
Wan Songlin sneered: "Original? Idea? In fact, Selim's thoughts were not revealed to the Ming at all, the fact is that the Ottomans attacked us for no reason! ”
Hua Houwei waved his hand: "You don't need to say so much, Jimu Shibai, Selim is dead, you are here for Suleiman, right?" It's better to say your conditions, nothing else, it's useless! ”
Jimu Shibai nodded: "Yes, I am here for His Highness Suleiman. As long as the Ming Empire no longer supports the Safavid and Uzbekistan, and is no longer hostile to the Ottoman Empire, after our Highness Suleiman becomes the Sultan, we will pay the Ming Empire 500,000 dinars in gold! ”
"Not enough!"
Ji Mu Shibai was stunned, glanced at his guards, and continued to reason: "Your Royal Highness, the Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire have no entanglement of interests, on the contrary, there are benefits of cooperation!" ”
Hua Houwei's face was expressionless, and Wan Songlin asked for him: "What benefits?" ”
"The Ottoman Empire can help the Ming Empire and send troops to clamp down on Safavid and Uzbekistan, and the Ming Empire can encroach on their territory step by step. In addition to this, trade cooperation between the two countries can also be strengthened. The Ottomans and Europa are adjacent to each other, and Europa's handicrafts, as well as war horses, weapons, etc., can be traded with the Ming Empire. Well, the firearms of the Ming Empire are of great interest to us Ottomans and can be purchased at a high price. ”
Hua Houwei smiled and turned his head to look at Wan Songlin: "Xiao Linzi, what do you think?" ”
Wan Songlin knew that this was the master testing him, and immediately said, "The benefits are not enough for us to give up Safavid and Uzbekistan. ”
He didn't know what to do for a while, and he couldn't help but look at his guards again. Hua Houwei suddenly stood up with a smile and clapped with both hands: "Suleiman!" Haha, it's fun to have friends from afar? What a guts! Lone really admires you! ”
Wan Songlin looked at the young guard in surprise, could this really be Suleiman, the crown prince of the Ottomans? How did Master know?
The guard hesitated slightly, bowed slightly, straightened up, and the cringe and confusion in his eyes were swept away, and asked suspiciously: "Your Royal Highness, how do you see it?" ”
"Huh? Are you really Suleiman? Wan Songlin blurted out in surprise, and then looked at his master in confusion.
Hua Houwei put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Your acting skills are so good, I didn't doubt it at first." But when you saluted me, your body stiffened slightly. ”
Suleiman said unconvinced: "Couldn't it be that I'm scared? ”
Hua Houwei smiled and actually nodded in agreement: "Yes, of course this explanation is okay." So I didn't think deeper. But Mu Mu Shi has seen you twice, especially the last time, I can't see your identity, isn't this prince in vain? ”
Suleiman shook his head: "It doesn't make sense! Can't I be the spy sent by Suleiman to spy on the Turkishbai? ”
Hua Houwei shook his head: "Yes, your explanation is perfect." However, the reaction of the Tsuki Shibai was not right! If you are a secret agent, no matter how jealous you are, you will only be afraid, not the kind of eyes that look at the superiors. You know, a lot of times, people look at me like that, and of course I'm familiar with the way my subordinates look at the backbone. ”
Suleiman sighed: "I see! I'm convinced! The emperor of the Ming Empire is brave and invincible, and the prince of the Ming Empire is incomparably wise, father, father, why did you provoke such an enemy? ”
Jimu Shibai slapped himself in annoyance, and Suleiman stopped him with a smile and continued to pump his hand: "No need! Even if you can't see it at this time, the result is no different. I've got what I wanted. ”
Hua Houwei smiled: "I agree with your opinion, the Ming Empire is much stronger than the Ottomans, even if I don't lead the troops, the result will not change much." Strength, strength determines everything, skill is just auxiliary! ”
Suleiman nodded: "Yes, I agree with the prince's assertion very much. Haha, Your Royal Highness, I came late at night, can I drink a magical drink from the ancient silk country? ”
Hua Houwei admired Su Leiman's free-flowing demeanor, and nodded with a smile: "Of course! Please sit down and serve tea! ”
Suleiman took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "It's really a good thing." Your Royal Highness, I think I should remind you that Ismaili is a man with great ambitions. It's best to take precautions! ”
Hua Houwei asked quietly: "Reason!" Ismaili is my friend, why am I doing this? ”
Suleiman calmed down, quickly organized the language in his heart, and commented with a smile: "My father once said that the monarch of this land, he is most afraid of Ismaili. Shaybani seemed brave enough to put an end to the Timurid Empire, but he actually relied on the power of his family. Shaybani's ancestor was the second son of Jochi, who later founded the Golden Horde and gave a piece of land to his ancestors to establish a White Horde. Shaybani was able to defeat the Timurid Empire with the support of the Uzbeks and Kazakhs, who were actually reckless. ”
"Well, so what?"
"Ismaili is different! The rise of Ismailis depended on the Safavid Order. Ismaili has been the leader of the Safavid Order since he was a child, and he has gradually grown up through constant warfare. Ismaili is wise and decisive, and very ambitious. Why should other monarchs be called Sultan or Khan, and he should be called Shah? Shah is the name of the monarch of the ancient Persian Empire, and the current Ottoman Empire, Safavid Empire, Uzbek Khanate, Makrumu Empire and dozens of small countries together are the territory of the ancient Persian Empire! ”
Wan Songlin immediately understood what Suleiman meant, and said, "In other words, Ismaili wants to make Safavid a great empire like ancient Persia?" ”
"Yes! You see that he himself is a Persian, and his mother is a princess of the Aries dynasty, which is completely sufficient in terms of blood. Osman had fought with him, and Shaybani was actually going to fight with him, but it was because of Full Speed that the current situation was caused by mistake. ”
Hua Houwei shook his head: "Not enough!" This reason is not enough! Suleiman, if you're just saying something like that tonight, I'm going to say I'm sorry. ”
Suleiman's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, his mind was racing rapidly, and his eyes were unconsciously glancing around. Suddenly, he saw the huge wall chart behind Hua Houwei, like a lightning strike, and was stunned.
Jimu Shibai looked at Suleiman nervously, the national fortune of the Ottoman Empire is tonight, if it is useless, wait for the long winter night of the Ottoman soldiers. But why was His Highness Suleiman stunned? He was anxious to remind him, but Suleiman laughed: "Your Royal Highness, forgive me for my ignorance. It turned out that the Ming Empire befriended Uzbekistan and Safavid for the sake of Europa! ”
Hua Houwei raised his head in surprise and looked at Suleiman, who was full of confidence. There are so many heroes in the world, I can't imagine that Osman has such a person who can guess his own thoughts. Although the map behind him inspired him, how could he have thought of it without rigorous logical reasoning and creative thinking?
Some people died, but not completely......
