"In that case, the subordinates will return to Cairo?"

Ali's plan basically fell through, and he felt a little regretful in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it.

When the Ming Dynasty was a vassal state, it was a completely different state from that of other countries.

The local court of the Ming Dynasty was extremely powerful, and it continued to expand in the process of this reform.

Ali and his Egypt were still former enemies, and they were even more well-behaved.

Zhu Jingyuan discovered Ali's potential uneasiness and entanglement, smiled and verbally comforted him, and let him go to rest.

Zhu Jingyuan could only be comforted verbally, and it was impossible to give him more substantive promises.

Egypt is a foreign vassal, and it is a foreign vassal that the imperial court promised not to change, so it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to allow Egypt to continue to expand.

Historically, Ali's Egypt expanded into the surrounding areas, occupying the entire region of the Sultan and the eastern part of the Great Food Peninsula.

He couldn't have had a similar opportunity in this world.

On the other side, after returning from the Ottoman Grand Vizir Zayaden, he thought carefully all day.

Zayadine himself still believes that for the current Ottomans, the mainland is much more important than the Mexican colony.

The colonization of Mozhou can be used as a driving force to balance and stabilize the complex situation in the Ottoman mainland.

But colonial development should never be a big deal.

Trading Crete for a node to colonize Murphy is not a good idea for the current Ottomans.

Crete is much easier to grasp than Congo.

Therefore, Zayading put forward relatively high conditions that were basically impossible for the Ming Dynasty to accept.

But the Ottomans also wanted to get those populations.

The Ottomans, who had just experienced the world war, were desperate to restore the young and middle-aged labor force.

At the same time, His Majesty the Sultan and the nobility were enthusiastic about overseas at an all-time high.

After getting the "ninety percent new" fleet delivered by the Ming Dynasty and obtaining the Mozhou colony allocated by the Ming Dynasty, these ruling classes were a little too excited.

He was desperate to get hold of the colonies of Mozhou as soon as possible, and to reap tangible benefits from those colonies.

There is now a tendency to develop the navy at any cost, while at the same time acquiring ports for ocean-going nodes.

At the same time, a ruler like the Ottoman Sultan was not very sensitive to the gains and losses of territory, otherwise he would not have ceded land easily.

Zayadine could not defy this tendency, and could only control and suppress it as much as possible.

Zayadine carefully collected his thoughts and sent his views and ideas back to the Ottoman court.

The next morning, after confirming the news several times, Zayadine and the Ottoman Sultan visited Zhu Jingyuan again:

"Your Royal Highness, if the Ming Dynasty is to gain full sovereignty over Crete and its affiliated islands, the Ottoman conditions are as follows:

"First, all the Heavenly Sect populations conquered after the Ming Dynasty should be handed over to the Ottomans to deal with.

"Second, the Daming Navy and Army units assisted the Ottoman forces in acquiring a piece of coastal land on the border between Morocco and Algeria.

Third, the Ming Dynasty helped the Ottomans build a dual-use port in the area and gave them low-interest loans.

"If the Ming can't accept it, then trade the private land ownership of Crete for the Ming Dynasty's naval and port construction guidance."

Zhu Jingyuan fell into deep thought after hearing this.

The Ottomans not only want the population of the Barbary pirates, but also all the Tianfang people who will be defeated by the Ming Dynasty in the future.

This is actually nothing, and there are no independent forces in the world to conquer now.

Providing loans to help the Ottomans build a port can be regarded as business dealings, and they can be directly agreed.

The point is, the Ottomans still wanted to build a plot of land in the northern part of the continent.

It's just that it's not in key areas like Tunisia, Tripoli, Algiers, etc., but it's moved next to Morocco.

The purpose of this choice was not to let the land claimed by the Ottomans fall into the target land of the Ming Dynasty, but at the end of these lands.

It is even possible to cut from the interior of Morocco, and not completely from Algeria.

The more critical issue is that there is no need for the Ming to hand it over, and let the Ming assist the Ottomans to occupy it themselves.

The issue of the re-transfer of the Ming occupation is a big problem.

The current Ming Dynasty has a tradition of never letting go of its mouth no matter what.

Zhu Jingyuan considered the future situation and the strategic position of Crete, and finally decided to accept the deal.

For the Ming Dynasty, who was about to occupy most of the northern land of Mozhou, Crete in the Great Qin Sea was obviously more important than a piece of land on the continent of Mozhou.

At the same time, Crete was relatively easy to trade and transfer only in the hands of the Ottoman Sultans.

Once the Ottomans disintegrated, the region where Crete was located became independent on its own, and it was not so easy to be cut.

Zhu Jingyuan nodded lightly and said:

"Okay, since Osman is trying so hard to go to the ocean, then Daming will help us again for our friendship."

Zayaden nodded in response with mixed feelings:

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, and please take care of me in the future."

Zhu Jingyuan reminded after a while:

"It's good that the Ottomans want to go to the sea, but for the Ottomans, it's clear that the homeland is more important than the overseas, and stability is more important than the frontier."

Hearing this reminder, Zaadin was obviously stunned for a moment.

Because that's actually your own opinion.

Prince Daishoku even agrees with this view.

Zayadine subconsciously thought that if His Royal Highness Prince Dashi was the Ottoman sultan, he would not accept this kind of deal.

It's a pity that Prince Dashi is the other party to the deal.

And the Prince of Great Food is willing to say such things to himself, obviously he really wants the Ottomans to maintain stability.

Zaadin's mood was even more complicated:

"His Highness's sincerity is admirable, and His Highness's words will definitely be conveyed to His Majesty the Sultan."

Zhu Jingyuan smiled again and nodded:

"Tripoli Pasha is actually willing to surrender, it should be said that it is the Ottomans who want those people, so we allow these pirates to surrender.

"The Grand Vizier can have the receiver tell them this logic, which should make it easier for you to manage.

"For the Barbary pirates, my request is to leave the house cleanly, not to carry any superfluous possessions, and to be alive thanks to God.

"But ordinary people in Crete are not among them, and they can leave with their belongings."

Zayaden was taken aback again, and it was obvious that Tripoli could not withstand the Ming attack.

But the attitude revealed by Zhu Jingyuan's words made Za Yading feel empty in his heart.

But there was nothing to refute.

Those people have been pirates for nearly three hundred years, and they must have done all the evil deeds imaginable in the world.

If the Ming Dynasty wants to completely eliminate them, no one else will be able to speak, and maybe they will applaud.

This was indeed convenient for the Ottoman reception.

Za Yading was in a complicated mood and bowed slightly again and agreed:

"By your will, Your Highness."

Zhu Jingyuan's own staff and books made a simple treaty document.

In order to save trouble, it was written directly in the Ming script, and the conditions negotiated between Zhu Jingyuan and Za Yading were listed.

The secret agreement was written in duplicate, and Zhu Jingyuan and Za Yading each signed and sealed it, and each kept one copy.

The Ming Emperor and the Sultan directly sent a telegram of approval, and the actual approval was exchanged by the subsequent passenger ships.

The formalities went through two days, after which Zayadine returned to the Ottoman mainland with the text.

Ali and Basel have also returned to their respective flights.

Zhu Jingyuan asked his staff to write a telegram and inform Yang Yuchun, commander of the North Mexico Theater, of the content of his deal with the Ottomans.

Let Yang Yuchun contact the Ottoman Grand Vizier and the Tripoli Pasha Yusuf respectively.

The unconditional opening of Tripoli was facilitated, and all the population was handed over to the Ottomans, except for the possible Ming immigrants.

Tripoli was originally begging for mercy.

Now Da Ming has given him a chance to live, and he is following his old club, the Ottomans, and he basically accepted it without any resistance.

On November 11, the 34th year of Taiping in the Ming Dynasty, the last day of 1805 in the Western calendar, that is, December 31.

The troops commanded by Yang Yuchun marched into the city of Tripoli.

Under Pasha Yussef in Tripoli, all armed men were disarmed and prisoner camps were built at the docks under the supervision of the Ming troops.

Wait for the Ottomans to come and receive it.

Yang Yuchun originally intended to completely eliminate these pirates, but he had no opinion on the order to send them away.

Sending it away is actually elimination, and it is more efficient than destroying it directly.

Yang Yuchun regrouped his troops in Tripoli while issuing an ultimatum to the pirates of Tunisia and Algiers.

Surrender within ten days, and the population will be handed over to the Ottomans for transport, otherwise it will be completely wiped out.

Of course, the pirates in the two regions did not dare to directly refuse the Ming Dynasty, but they had different ideas about the conditions given by the Ming Dynasty.

They hadn't been directly beaten by Da Ming, and they felt that the request to leave the house was a bit excessive.

Their natural idea was to refer to the Egyptian model and transform into a Ming vassal on the spot.

They sent their ideas to the Mozhou Northern Battlefield Command who sent an ultimatum.

The relevant telegram was quickly sent to Yang Yuchun, and after the staff read out the content of the telegram, Yang Yuchun and the overseers, staff, and generals around him all laughed directly.

"The Ming Dynasty, these pirates are really beautiful......"

"Don't they realize that we are issuing a real ultimatum?"

"They think they're qualified to negotiate terms with me?"

Yang Yuchun smiled and then commanded:

"Don't pay attention to them, and officially launch an attack after ten days of repair, and hit them until they surrender voluntarily."

A group of generals immediately agreed in unison:

"Yes!"

At the same time, the Ottomans' efficiency was stretched to the limit, and the first fleet arrived the next day in Tripoli, where Yang Yuchun had accepted.

After the identification of the personnel of the two sides, the transfer of people from Tripoli began.

They were to be dispersed and sent directly to Mozhou, where Zhu Jingyuan was assigned to the Ottoman colony of the Congo estuary.

This operation required a large number of ships, and the Ottomans' own ships, of course, were not enough and could only be leased from the Ming Dynasty.

Now it's not just the Ottomans who need ships, but the Ming and all the Tessie countries need ships.

Prussia, Austria, Italy and other countries need to explore and open up colonies, and they need to transport materials and personnel.

Spain and Portugal need large-scale migratory populations.

The Ming needed to take over a large number of colonies, transport troops and a new round of mass immigration.

Ships are now needed everywhere in the world, and the selling and chartering prices of transport ships are skyrocketing.

Of course, the shipbuilding industry all over the world has become extremely hot.

Orders from many shipyards are already in the queue for a few years.

The unprecedentedly hot prospect has led to the opening of new shipyards one after another, and the opening will make money.

Before the peace talks, the large ship industry was opened, so the new ships were getting bigger and bigger.

The Royal Dockyards have already begun to design 80,000-ton passenger and cargo ships.

Iron and steel smelting, industrial machinery, and engineering construction related industries directly related to shipbuilding are also all in a hot state.
