Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1034, Daming's friendship is precious

In the city of Erzincan, Yang Yun, the Duke of Australia who had been out hunting for nearly a month, finally returned to his marching camp.

"General, this is a gift from our sultan to the general."

Yang Yun had just come back, and Ali Pasha, Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire, immediately found Yang Yun with gold, silver and jewels.

"You don't get paid for nothing, so just talk about it if you have anything to say."

Yang Yun looked at the boxes of gold, silver and jewels on the ground. There were more than a dozen large boxes. The Ottoman Empire was really in a hurry. They were in a hurry to reach an armistice agreement with Daming, so that they could concentrate their efforts to solve internal and external troubles. situation.

So Bayezid II was also very generous, sending over a large amount of gold, silver and jewels.

"General~"

"Our Ottoman Empire and the Ming Empire were originally very friendly and friendly countries, but because some people in our Ottoman Empire did not know the heights of the sky and the earth, they slandered in front of the Sudan, which caused the two countries to turn against each other. As a result, the people of the two countries suffered heavy casualties and lost their lives."

"For this, our Sudan is also deeply guilty and remorseful. We have already punished those ministers who instigated the war with the most severe punishment, and we are deeply sorry for the people of Ming Dynasty who were killed in the war."

"We hope that the two sides can stop this and turn the war into friendship."

Ali Pasha thought about it and said very solemnly.

The attitude is so good, the voice is much nicer, without the slightest arrogance from before.

"Haha, turning a fight into a treasure?"

Yang Yun laughed immediately, looked at Huo Ying, Liao Yuan and others beside him, and couldn't help laughing all of them.

"You started the war."

"The massacre of the city was also the first thing you did."

"Now you say you want to turn war into jade, that's fine, as long as you can resurrect the tens of thousands of people who were massacred in our Hezhong area, everything will be fine."

Yang Yun looked at Ali Pasha and said coldly.

"This…"

Ali Pasha's face is also ugly. We provoked the war well, and indeed did the massacre of the city, but you have gone too far on our side of the Ottoman Empire.

The army of the Ottoman Empire slaughtered several towns and tens of thousands of Ming people. How about you?

Your Ming army has slaughtered hundreds of cities on the land of the Ottoman Empire, and millions of people have died under your swords and guns.

He was also extremely angry in his heart, wishing he could have the power to wipe out the Ming army in front of him, but he knew that he couldn't, so he had to greet him with a smile.

If you win the war, you can be the most greedy vampire, but if you lose the war, you have to bow your head obediently and ask for peace.

"General, when people die, they cannot be brought back to life. When will the injustice be repaid?"

"Although the responsibility is on our side, your Ming army also carried out tragic revenge. Hundreds of our cities were slaughtered by you. Isn't this enough to offset it?"

After thinking about it, Ali Pasha said.

"Not enough, far from enough~"

"My Ming people are extremely noble, how can you barbarians be able to compare with them?"

"What's more, if you provoke our Daming, you should have thought that there will be today."

Yang Yun said firmly.

"General, it doesn't make much sense to say these things. Our Ottoman Empire is willing to admit defeat, as long as you, Ming, are willing to cease the war, no matter the conditions."

Ali Pasha pondered for a while, and did not tangle with Yang Yun on this issue.

"Okay ~ Refreshing!"

As soon as Yang Yun heard it, he immediately praised him, looked at each other with Huo Ying, Liao Yuan and the others and said, "It's okay if we ask Ming to cease the war, and we don't have many conditions."

"First, some of the [-] people who attacked our river back then fled back to your Ottoman Empire. These people were stained with the blood of our Ming people. You must hand them over, and none of them will be left behind."

"Second, during the process of your Ottoman Empire's attack on the river area, many of our Ming people were sold to various places as slaves by you. Your Ottoman Empire must retrieve them all intact and send them back to our Ming Dynasty. At the same time, we will bear the costs and expenses of our Daming to find these people."

"Third, cede the land of the Ottoman Empire in the South Caucasus to our Ming, and recognize our Ming's rule over the South Caucasus."

"Fourth, as the party that started the war, the Ottoman Empire must pay the Ming Empire [-] million taels of silver, and we can accept the payment in installments."

"Fifth, cede Crete in the Aegean Sea and the twenty surrounding islands to Daming."

"Sixth, my Ming ships from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea are not subject to any restrictions from you, nor do I need to pay any taxes."

"Seventh, in order to prevent your Ottoman army from provoking war between the two sides, on the border between the Ottoman Empire and our Ming Dynasty, the Ottoman Empire cannot station any troops within a hundred miles."

Yang Yun took out the armistice agreement that had been drawn up long ago. Naturally, ceding land and paying compensation is a routine operation, and the South Caucasus must be occupied.

It is also necessary to occupy some islands in the Eastern Mediterranean, so that a fleet can be stationed to protect the interests of Ming Dynasty. The route from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea must also be ensured. In fact, it is best to control the Bosporus Strait. hands, but this is obviously impossible, and it is impossible to control it without stationing a large army here.

So since the strait cannot be controlled, then control the Aegean Sea and station a small fleet here, which can also guarantee Ming's interests in the Mediterranean.

"No, no, the truce conditions this time are too harsh, and our Ottoman Empire will never agree."

Ali Pasha carefully looked at the contents of the agreement, and said very firmly while reading.

The first and second conditions are not too much. Anyway, there are not many people who fled back to the Ottoman Empire. It is also possible to find them to calm the anger of the Ming people.

As for retrieving the trafficked Ming people, it's not difficult. Let the Jewish businessmen who dealt with them do it. Anyway, the final cost can be paid by the Jews.

As for the third cession of the South Caucasus region to Ming Dynasty, this made the Ottoman Empire very uncomfortable. After the South Caucasus region was ceded, the Ottoman Empire cut off the road to the Caspian Sea.

And the South Caucasus has always been the key offensive area of ​​the Ottoman Empire, and has always wanted to annex it. For this reason, the sultans of all dynasties have continued to use troops here, and this has occupied a large area of ​​​​the South Caucasus, and gradually expanded the territory. To the edge of the Khazar Sea (Caspian Sea).

At the same time, if the South Caucasus region is lost, it means that the threat of the Ottoman Empire to Persia will be lifted. In the past, it could easily threaten the city of Tabriz in Persia.

Without the South Caucasus region, it will be difficult to threaten the capital of Persia.

Of course, the most unacceptable thing is the war indemnity. The Ming Empire even opened its mouth and asked the Ottoman Empire to pay [-] million taels of silver.

Although the Ottoman Empire is very rich, with a huge land, a large population, and strong strength, and it is located in the core of Europe, Asia and Africa, it has obtained extremely huge wealth just by trade.

But [-] million taels of silver is such a huge astronomical figure, the Ottoman Empire will agree, and I am afraid that in the next few decades, they will have to tighten their belts to live.

There is also the ceding of the islands in the Mediterranean Sea, which means placing one's own throat in the hands of Da Ming. In the future, when the merchant ships and fleets of the Ottoman Empire pass through the Aegean Sea, they will be threatened and controlled by Da Ming. This throat is controlled by Da Ming. , it is too uncomfortable.

There is also the issue of garrisoning troops on the border. Garrisoning troops is not allowed within a range of one hundred miles, which means that they will become extremely passive against attacks from the Ming side, and it will also become very difficult to find their way back in the future.

This is why he asserted that the Ottoman Empire would not agree to the armistice agreement, because the conditions were too harsh.

"Whether you agree or not is your business. Anyway, we have set the conditions here."

"Hum~"

"Our Ming Dynasty is not those countries in Europe who allow you Turkic people to bully you at will. Since you have provoked us, you must be prepared to meet the wrath of our Ming Dynasty."

"Don't think that just sending a few boxes of gold, silver and jewelry can calm things down."

"Our Da Ming's friendship and peace are very precious. Similarly, our Da Ming's anger cannot be appeased casually."

Yang Yun looked at the other party and said lightly.

Whether you agree or not is up to you, the conditions have already been set out for you.

If my [-] troops traveled all the way here, if I didn't open up the territory for Daming, and if I didn't get some compensation to go back, I would be ashamed to go back to Daming to see the emperor.

Of course, the more important thing is to express an attitude to everyone, that is, whoever offends me will be punished even if he is far away!
Regardless of whether you are the Ottoman Empire, the Kazakh Khanate, or the Timur Khanate, if you offend us Ming people, you will have to pay a heavy price. Only in this way can you deeply shock Central Asia and West Asia tribe.

Otherwise, this place is far away from Daming, and there are very few people in Daming here. Even with large-scale immigration, it will take time to slowly change the population structure here.

If you want to rule here, you must be ruthless.

You have to hate the enemy, and you have to be ruthless to the people in these territories and regions newly included in the territory of Ming Dynasty, otherwise you will rest and rule here for a long time.

"This condition is too harsh. We, the Ottoman Empire, will not agree to it. We would rather fight to the death, and never agree to such a humiliating treaty."

Ali Pasha shook his head and said, he would not dare to sign such an agreement.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, it is better to think more about what you say."

"The [-] troops under me have also rested and reorganized. If you really want to fight to the death, we will be happy to accompany you to the end."

Unmoved, Yang Yun said calmly.
