Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1016, special gift
The news that the Ottoman army was defeated by the Ming Empire also disappeared, and soon the entire Ottoman Empire knew the news of the failure of the expeditionary force.

The [-] troops led by Prince Ahmed were completely annihilated by the army of the Ming Empire, and even himself was captured by the Ming Empire. As soon as the news came out, the entire Ottoman Empire was shocked.

The great Ottoman Empire, the incomparably powerful Ottoman army was defeated, and even the princes were captured. This is very difficult for the Ottomans to accept.

You must know that the army of the Ottoman Empire has always been almost invincible, conquering an unknown number of places, and defeating an unknown number of prestigious countries and tribes.

The Tatars of the Crimean Khanate, descendants of the once great Mongol Empire, even they surrendered to the Ottoman Empire and were willing to be the eagle dogs of the Ottoman Empire.

The Persians had no temper after being beaten, and they often begged for peace from the Ottoman Empire. The Christian world was beaten by the Ottoman Empire and had to develop into the sea.

The Ottomans had their own pride and splendor.

But now, they were actually defeated, defeated by the Ming Empire, an army of [-] was destroyed, and even the prince was captured, which made it difficult for the Ottomans to accept this.

But that's the truth.

The great Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, Bayezid II, had sent the Grand Vizier with a large amount of gold, silver and jewels to the Ming Empire to prepare for peace negotiations and redeem Prince Ahmed at the same time.

The order to withdraw troops has also been quickly conveyed to the front line. At the same time, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire once again issued an order to recruit [-] troops to deal with everything that may happen next.

All of these show that the Ottoman Empire was indeed defeated, and it was defeated miserably, otherwise it would not have been the case.

But the bad news came one after another.

Bayezid II's order to withdraw troops has not yet reached the River Central region, and in just a few days, new news came from the River Central region.

After the Ming army wiped out the [-] troops of Prince Ahmed, they quickly attacked the other two routes. Wherever the Ming army went, the Ottoman army was defeated, and the remaining [-] troops were also defeated by the Ming army. Those who fled, those who surrendered, those who were killed were killed, and the remaining [-] troops disappeared in a blink of an eye.

But the Ming Empire obviously did not intend to let it go like this. The Ming Empire gathered [-] troops from east to west. While desperately chasing and killing the remnants of the Ottoman Empire, they entered the Ottoman Empire in a mighty manner. .

Then it came out that the Ming Empire directly killed tens of thousands of captives who surrendered, which made the Ottoman Empire extremely angry.

Although the Ottoman Empire has always had a tradition of selling captives who surrendered as slaves, but the selling is the selling, after all, they were not killed. Now, the Ming Empire directly killed and buried tens of thousands of Ottoman soldiers who surrendered. .

All of a sudden, the entire Ottoman Empire cried out.

The menacing expedition of [-] troops to the middle of the river disappeared all of a sudden. The [-] troops were [-] families, and very few of them could return to the Ottoman Empire.

The entire Ottoman Empire was full of silence and cries, and people could be heard crying everywhere in the streets and alleys of Istanbul, and they couldn't even hold a funeral because the corpses were still in the river area of ​​the Ming Empire.

Inside the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, this huge and luxurious palace was silent, and everyone above the court was silent, and many nobles and ministers had tears in their eyes.

The tradition of the Ottoman Empire has always been the enfeoffment aristocratic system. The nobles fought for the sultan, and the sultan bestowed land on these soldiers who fought, thus forming the unique feudal aristocratic system of the Ottoman Empire.

The Sipahi cavalry is one of the representatives, and almost all of them are nobles with fiefdoms. Of course, the brothers and sons of these nobles above the court are indispensable.

In the Ottoman Empire, if you want to gain status, you must fight for the Sultan. This is one of the important reasons for the Ottoman Empire's military strength, which is somewhat similar to the military merit system of the Qin Dynasty.

Under this military merit system, even ordinary people can quickly get promoted in status and realize the turnaround of salted fish in life. Therefore, the Ottoman Empire is full of desire to expand, and the army is powerful.

Coupled with the special military academy established by the Ottoman Empire to train military generals, this made the military power of the Ottoman Empire stronger enough to sweep the Quartet. Similarly, most of the people above the court were military nobles.

Now that the [-] army has gone and never returned, it is almost related to the ruling layer of the entire Ottoman Empire. Almost every household has people to join the army, and now they will stay in the river area forever.

Bayezid II sat on his throne, looking very haggard, and the [-] troops disappeared like this.

But this is not the important thing. What is more important now is that the Ming Empire also sent [-] troops to attack from east to west. There is no grass left, several cities have been breached one after another, and then slaughtered by the Ming people.

This is revenge!
The Ming Empire is retaliating for the massacre of the Ottoman army in the river area. If you attack with [-] troops, I will return your [-].

The [-] army of the Ming Empire is extremely powerful and terrifying. The Ottoman Empire has organized a defense line to block the attack of the Ming Empire army, but it is useless and has no effect.

At the same time, the Persians in the east have obviously received the news, or they were encouraged by the Ming Empire. The Emperor Ismail I of the Persian Safavid Empire also sent [-] troops to attack the Ottoman Empire at the same time. It means that the [-] troops of the empire gathered together to attack Istanbul.

On the Mediterranean side, the fleet sent by the Ming Empire to Europe to assist Spain also began to attack the pirates of the Ottoman Empire, and it meant to join forces with Spain and Portugal to move eastward and directly attack the coastal areas of the Ottoman Empire on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea.

On this point, the Ming Empire also received help from the Mamluk Kingdom of Egypt. They promised to provide supplementary notes to the Ming Fleet, and at the same time allowed the Ming Empire to provide supplements and supplies to the fleet through the Red Sea.

On the European side, the Hungarians, Austrians, and Poles who were beaten by the Ottoman Empire seem to be restless. They are organizing troops and preparing to take the opportunity to attack the Ottoman Empire and want to regain their own territory.

As for the Slavs in the north, it seems that they have no intention of letting go of the opportunity. They raised their troops to attack the Crimean Khanate, wanting to seize the rich black land.

As for the Republic of Venice in Italy, it has been brooding over the failure of the Zonchio naval battle a few years ago, and wanted to regain the land robbed by the Ottoman Empire. Now it is also preparing to attack the Ottoman Empire again and regain Moria and the Adriatic Sea. fortress.

At this time, it can be said that the wind and rain were precarious, and the neighbors who had been beaten by the Ottoman Empire before all took the opportunity to attack the Ottoman Empire.

However, these neighbors, Bayezid II didn't take it seriously. If it weren't for the [-] troops of the Ming Empire, these neighbors would still dare not even give a fart to the Ottoman Empire.

So the key now is how to defeat the [-] troops of the Ming Empire. This is the most important thing. Only when the [-] troops of the Ming Empire are driven out, the Ottoman Empire can naturally scare the neighbors around them.

"Conscript another [-] troops!"

Bayezid II's first thought was to continue to recruit troops. Only enough troops could cope with the situation in front of him. There were enemies on all sides, and they all aggressively wanted to carve up the Ottoman Empire.

He will not let these people do what they want. The Ottoman Empire has passed into his hands, and it must not just perish like this.

"Send [-] troops to the east to resist the Ming Empire's attack with all their strength, and send the most elite Yeniche Imperial Guard Corps and Kapkulu Cavalry Corps there."

"Send someone to contact the Kazakh Khanate. As long as they are willing to attack the rear of the Ming Empire and the area in the middle of the river, the Ottoman Empire is willing to give them the Caucasus."

"Notify Ali ~ Pasha, as long as the Ming Empire is willing to withdraw, everything can be discussed~"

Order after order was sent out continuously from Bayezid II.

As a sultan with rich ruling experience, he clearly knows the key to solving the current situation. On the one hand, he is ready for a bloody battle with the Ming army. Everything is easy to deal with.

"Report~"

At this time, someone hurriedly came here with a box.

"what's up?"

Bayezid II hurriedly asked, what he is most afraid of hearing now is the urgent report, because it is all bad news.

"At this time, a gift from the Ming army~"

The visitor presented the box, and it was a beautiful box with patterns of auspicious clouds carved on it.

"Gift?"

When Bayezid II heard this, he couldn't help frowning immediately, wondering what gift the Ming army would send over at this time.

"Open~"

He ordered coldly.

"Yes~"

The subordinates quickly opened this exquisite box.

"Ah~"

When Bayezid II saw it, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation. Everyone quickly looked over and saw that there was a human head in this exquisite box, which was Ahmed's head.

"The Ming Empire, I, the Ottoman Empire, and you will never die!"

"Give me an order to gather the imperial army. I want to conquer myself. I want to use the heads of Ming people to build a tower to avenge my son!"

He almost gritted his teeth and roared word by word.
