Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1040, Do you think you are Daming?
Ali Pasha, Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire in Erzincan City, was counting the large amount of treasure that had just been transported from the Sudan.

Thousands of Ottoman soldiers escorted hundreds of carts of gold, silver and jewelry to the city of Erzincan, all of which were used to pay Ming Dynasty's war reparations.

In the courtyard, in the huge open space, large boxes were piled high and high, so heavy that it was very difficult for the strong Ottoman soldiers to carry them.

"Open!"

Ali Pasha looked at the box in front of him and asked him to open it for inspection.

The boxes were opened one by one, and boxes of silver, gold, jewelry, jade, etc. appeared in front of the eyes, and together they bloomed the most charming light.

Ali Pasha couldn't help but came to a box, and gently touched the gold bars with his hands. The gold bars were neatly stacked and shone with charming light.

"How many are there in total?"

Ali Pasha looked at the thousands of large boxes in the yard and asked.

"There are [-] million taels of silver, [-] taels of gold, and gold and silver jewelry worth [-] million taels of silver, etc., which can be counted as [-] million taels of silver."

The minister in charge of transportation quickly replied.

"Twenty million taels of silver, this is to evacuate all the accumulation of the sultans of the past, but it is only half of the first batch of compensation."

After hearing this, Ali Pasha couldn't help sighing.

The Ottoman Empire is still very rich, because it is located at the junction of three continents, with a vast territory, strong military power, and emphasis on commerce.

However, compensation of hundreds of millions of taels of silver to Daming is still an extremely heavy burden for the Ottoman Empire. The Sultan had to evacuate the treasury. come out.

"Give these to the Ming people. Although the money is lost, at least the situation has been stabilized, and the most elite army of our Ottoman Empire can be dispatched."

"When the time comes to win the Persians and Europeans, we can get some back from them."

Sighing, sighing, Ali Pasha didn't delay here, and quickly asked people to transfer the gold and silver to the Ming people, and complete the payment of the first war reparation as soon as possible.

"My lord, the Duke of Australia of the Ming Dynasty invites you to go over."

At this time, someone came to report in a hurry.

"What's matter?"

When Ali Pasha heard this, he immediately frowned. The Ming people will not give birth to any other moths, will they?

"It was the Persians who wanted us to negotiate peace with the Ottoman Empire, and they invited the Ming people to mediate."

Subordinates report truthfully.

"Persian?"

"They still want to reconcile with us?"

"dream!"

When Ali Pasha heard this, he immediately became furious.

In this war, the Persians followed the Ming people and picked up a lot of benefits. They made trouble for the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire kept it in mind and was preparing to mobilize the most elite army to teach the Persians a lesson.

They are good, and now they want to make peace with themselves?
dreaming too!
Ali Pasha came to Yang Yun's Marshal's Mansion angrily. In the living room, he immediately saw Ismaili's discussion and many Persian ministers.

"Your Excellency, our Ottoman Empire has reached the first payment of compensation to Daming, a total of [-] million taels of silver. At present, I have ordered someone to transfer it to you Daming."

Ali Pasha looked at Yang Yun and said immediately.

"I already know about this~"

Yang Yun nodded in satisfaction and replied.

"Our Ottoman Empire has sincerely ceased war with Ming and wants to maintain peace and friendship with Ming. We will strictly abide by the content of the agreement."

"But we also hope that Daming can abide by the content of the agreement, and can't break his word and go back on his word."

Ali Pasha looked at Yang Yun and said very seriously.

"Of course, we, Daming, have always been very honest, and we will never backtrack on what we say."

"As long as your Ottoman Empire implements the agreement, our Ming Dynasty will also strictly implement the content of the agreement."

When Yang Yun heard this, he spoke very seriously.

"Then I'm relieved~"

"I don't know why the general called me here this time?"

Only then did Ali Pasha nodded in satisfaction, with some smiles on his face.

"That's right. His Majesty Ismail, the Emperor of the Persian Empire, hopes to hold peace talks with your Ottoman Empire and restore peace. After all, wars always end in death and loss of life. It is of no benefit to either side."

"So he invited me to be the peacemaker, and I think that in the future, the borders of the Ming, Persian, and Ottoman countries will indeed need to sit down and have a good talk with each other."

Yang Yun introduced Ismaili and other ministers of the Persian Empire to Ali Pasha, and also told the story.

"Yes, General Yang is right~"

"The war is of no benefit to either side. We in Persia also hope to reach an armistice agreement with the Ottoman Empire and restore peace."

Chaland also stood up to speak on behalf of the Persian Empire.

"Want to negotiate?"

"Okay, give us back all the territory you invaded from our Ottoman Empire, and immediately get out of the river area, so we can sit down and talk."

Ali Pasha looked at Ismaili, Charland and the others, raised his head slightly and said.

"Your Excellency Grand Vizier, I hope you can have a good communication with your sultan first, and then have a good talk."

"Based on the current situation of your Ottoman Empire, it seems that you don't have the confidence to make such a request."

"As far as I know, the European knights seem to be about to break through Thrace, and then they will be approaching your Istanbul."

Charland frowned slightly. The Ottomans were really stubborn. They had reached this point, and they were still stubborn.

"You don't need to care about this~"

"Tell me about your conditions, I can pass them on to our great Sultan."

After hearing this, Ali Pasha's face changed slightly. The Ottoman Empire is now facing multi-front warfare, and the most dangerous situation is the European war.

The relationship between the European Knights and the Ottoman Empire is not just a matter of territory, but more of a matter of belief. They even played the banner of the Crusaders and are attacking Thrace swiftly. Once Thrace is broken, the Ottoman Empire will It is very likely to completely lose everything on the Balkan Peninsula.

If you think about it carefully, it would be very good if you could cease the war with Persia first and concentrate your forces on dealing with the European knights, so as to avoid fighting on the east and west fronts.

"Our Persian side's requirements are not high. First of all, we recognize the current border between the two sides, and the actual control of the two sides is the limit."

"Second, the Ottoman Empire needs to pay our Persian Empire a war indemnity of [-] million taels of silver as compensation for the Ottoman Empire's invasion of our Persian Empire."

"On these two points, as long as the Ottoman Empire agrees, we in Persia will stop attacking immediately."

Charland pondered for a while, and raised the request of the Persian Empire, there are only two points.

One point is to delineate the land that has been occupied now, the most important of which is the Mesopotamia, which is a fertile land and can also lead to the Mediterranean Sea.

The second is the war indemnity. Seeing that Ming Dynasty received [-] million taels of war indemnity, the Persians were also jealous and asked for [-] million taels of war indemnity.

"Haha~haha~"

Hearing Charland's words, Ali Pasha couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Haha~"

"You think you are Daming?"

"Our Ottoman Empire was defeated by the Ming Empire, but not by you Persians."

Then Ali Pasha stood up, looked directly at Ismaili and the others, and said very angrily.

In the past, the Persians were so beaten by the Ottoman Empire that they couldn't hold their heads up. They attacked from time to time and approached the city of Tabriz in Persia. They dared not give a fart to the Ottoman Empire.

It's all right now, not only have you become bullish, but you even dared to put forward such a condition, and it's land cession and compensation. Do you think you are from Ming Dynasty?
Ali Pasha's words made Ismaili, Chaland and others all look very ugly. This is a direct slap in the face of Persia.

Persia is not as good as Ming, but our requirements are not as strict as Ming.

"You think our request is too much?"

Charland asked very seriously.

"No, no, not at all."

"As long as you have the ability, you can take our entire Ottoman Empire."

Ali Pasha replied with a smile.

What a joke, the bones of the Ottoman Empire have always been very hard, and they never bowed their heads. They want us to bow their heads. You have the ability to show the strength of the Ming people.

Persians, you are not qualified.

"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, the Persian Empire also hopes to reach peace with your country. The conditions can be negotiated, and there is no need to do so."

Yang Yun accepted the benefit, thought about it and said it.

"There is nothing to talk about. Our Ottoman Empire is not a country that can be bullied."

"Da Ming is strong, we lost, we are naturally willing to gamble and admit defeat, but we did not lose to the Persians, we will absolutely not accept such a condition."

"It doesn't matter if we don't want this kind of peace, we will get back everything we lost."

"Of course, if they have the ability to beat us, let alone such conditions, we will accept the same conditions as Daming's."

Ali Pasha said very seriously.

"Oh, Mr. Liu is right, the truth is only within the range of the cannon!"

"The plan of the Persians is probably going to fail. There will definitely be some fights between these two countries in the future."

Hearing Ali Pasha's words, Yang Yun immediately understood and couldn't help but sigh.

As for Ismaili, Chaland and others, they looked at each other in blank dismay. The Ottoman Empire is so stubborn.
