Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1900, The World Knows Daming Again

"Sell newspaper~sell newspaper!"

"Da Ming and the Ottoman Empire signed the Istanbul Armistice Agreement. The Ottoman Empire ceded the land east of Erzincan to Da Ming, and compensated Da Ming with 2 million taels of silver!"

"Good news, good news~"

"My Ming Dynasty army bombarded the capital of the Ottoman Empire, and the Ottoman Empire knelt down and begged for peace."

The next day, with the rising sun, the streets and alleys of the capital, newsboys riding bicycles kept yelling, without exception, all of them were promoting the victory of the Ming Army against the Ottoman Empire.

This event is undoubtedly an important event for the Ming Empire.

The Ottoman Empire went back on its word and violated the original contract. In addition, the newspapers mentioned that the Ottoman Empire coveted the rich river region and slaughtered several immigrant towns in the river region.

This aroused the anger of the Ming people, expecting the Ming army to severely repair the Ottoman Empire.

The Ming army did not disappoint everyone. Several armies swept across the Ottoman Empire, wiped out the Ottoman Empire navy, severely damaged the Ottoman Empire Army, wiped out nearly 40 Ottoman Empire troops, and directly killed the Ottoman Empire capital.

Now the good news came that the Ottoman Empire had to kneel down and beg for peace from the Ming Empire, cede land and pay compensation, and the key was that they would lose their sovereignty in the future.

The Ming army can station troops in the Istanbul Strait, which means that it is like a steel needle piercing into the heart of the Ottoman Empire.

Next to it is the capital of the Ottoman Empire and the Strait of Istanbul (later Turkish Strait, Black Sea Strait, Bosphorus Strait), which controls the heart of the Ottoman Empire and also controls this important strait.

In addition, the city of Erzincan was ceded to the Ming Empire. Since then, the capital of the Ottoman Empire has no natural dangers for the Ming people to guard, and it is impossible to kill them.

The war indemnity of 2 million taels of silver can be calculated to give each person of Ming Dynasty a tael of silver. It is undoubtedly a huge wealth. The purchasing power of silver is still leveraged. One tael of silver is equal to 1000 Wen, which can buy hundreds of dollars catties of grain.

Along with the newspaper reports, the news spread rapidly throughout Daming. The use of telegrams allowed the news to be delivered to every place in Daming as quickly as possible.

In cities everywhere, people started to set off fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate another great victory of the Ming Dynasty, and to celebrate that the great Ming Empire once again expanded its territory.

People in the streets and alleys, teahouses and restaurants are also excitedly discussing this matter.

"The Ottoman Empire, it just won several foreign victories one after another, they think they are great, they think they can come and provoke our Ming Empire."

"It's fine if we don't let our Ming merchants trade freely, and deliberately delay the payment of war reparations. This is purely seeking abuse, and it is also provoking our Ming's bottom line."

"Really think that our Ming Dynasty is Persia, or even Egypt and European countries. They think that they can defeat us Ming people with the arms and weapons we sold to them. They are too naive!"

"That's right, this time I was beaten up by us, so I should know the gap with our Ming Empire now, and I don't care how much I am."

"Those who are so dishonest about the Ottoman Empire should be severely beaten, let them know how powerful we Ming people are, and then they will not dare to provoke us Ming people again."

"This time they should be able to remember it, and they should also be able to know how powerful our Ming is, and they will never dare to provoke our Daming people again."

"Of course I don't dare. The price of provoking our Daming people is too high. I'm afraid they will never dare again."

"Haha, I have taught the Ottoman Empire a lesson. People in other countries should be honest. Otherwise, if the Ottoman Empire does not pay our war reparations, other countries will follow suit."

"That's right, that's the case. Benevolence, righteousness and morality are for our own people. For these barbarians from all over the world, they don't know how to teach and don't know etiquette. We should use muskets and cannons to let them understand the principles of life."

"That's right, it's useless to reason with them. Only with fists can they listen to us."

"."

In the palace of the Wa King of the Wa Kingdom, the Wa King Dongfang Shengren looked at the latest Daming Daily, and put down the newspaper slowly for a long time.

"The Ming Empire is still as powerful as ever."

"The Ottoman Empire just delayed the payment of war indemnity just because of a small matter, and it caused the Ming army to attack. It was full of teeth and lost its temper. After signing such a treaty, the Ottoman Empire will be basically It will go through at least a hundred years of turmoil and suffering."

Dongfang Shengren couldn't help shaking his head, Daming's temper is really hot.

It is impossible to be provoked at all. It is estimated that the people of Daming are eager for someone to provoke themselves. They can train the army, check their weapons and equipment and combat effectiveness, and they can establish their majesty around the world, and they can also get a huge sum of money. war reparations.

The war indemnity of 2 million taels of silver is such a huge number. Now the tax money that Wa can receive in a year is only about 3000 million taels of silver.

This is also due to the fact that the country of Wa is very close to Ming Dynasty, and the business and trade of the country of Wa are developing extremely rapidly under the circumstances that they are close to each other.

Even less money was allocated to Dongfang Katsuhito. The shogun controlled half of the land and regions of the Wa Kingdom, and the Wa King relied on the support of several powerful daimyos.

Although life is better than before, Dongfang Shengren does not really have much power and wealth in his hands. When he saw the figure of 2 million taels of silver, his eyes were red.

"Can we try to have a fight with the Ottoman Empire? If we can win, let's not say 2 million taels of silver, let the Ottoman Empire pay 2000 million taels of silver, that can make a lot of money."

Dongfang Shengren thought for a while and discussed with the daimyo around him.

"Can this work?"

Nanichiro said with his eyes brightened slightly.

He is a daimyo from Kyushu, and his surname was Shimadzu before, but he also changed his surname to Nan along with the comprehensive Ming Dynasty in Wa country.

"Is it okay? You will know if you try it. Anyway, the navy of the Ottoman Empire has been wiped out now. We will know if we try to drive a warship there, and we don't have to worry about any losses."

"You can try it, maybe you can find a chance to tear some meat off the body of the Ottoman Empire, it is now a toothless tiger, only meat left."

The other daimyos contemplated for a while and agreed.

After following the Daming people for these years, the Wa Kingdom has also picked up a lot of benefits and tasted the sweetness. Now it is a bloodthirsty wolf, and naturally it will not miss the opportunity to eat meat.

In the royal palace of Tabriz, Persia, Ismail I had also received the latest information that the Ottoman Empire and the Ming had reached an armistice agreement.

"The Ming Empire is really too powerful."

"It's only 20 troops, and the troops were divided into two groups to attack the Ottoman Empire from east to west. It took only half a month, and the Ming people went to the capital of the Ottoman Empire, forcing the Ottoman Empire to attack the Ottoman Empire. People knelt down and begged for mercy."

"Tsk tsk, ceding so much land, paying 2 million taels of silver in compensation, and stationing troops in the Istanbul Strait, the Ottoman Empire has been frightened by the Ming people."

Ismail I sighed again and again.

Only after fighting against the Ottoman Empire can we know that it is not the Ottoman Empire that is weak, but the Ming people are too strong.

The Ottoman Empire only needed tens of thousands of troops to compete with the Persians and Egyptians for the Mesopotamia.

However, in the face of the mighty Ming Empire, even though it has absolute military strength and geographical advantages, it was still defeated by the Ming people, suffered heavy losses, and had to kneel down and ask for peace.

This is enough to show how powerful and terrifying the Ming people are, they are simply too powerful.

On this point, the Persians feel the deepest,

The Persians and the Ottoman Empire are feuds, and they have fought countless wars, but almost all of them win less and lose more, and have suffered countless losses and lessons.

In front of the Ottoman Empire, the Persians were really crushed and beaten like younger brothers.

But in front of the Ming Empire, the Ottoman Empire is the younger brother again. The Ottoman Empire was severely injured in the First World War more than ten years ago. The empire has no temper, this is the Ming Empire.

"It's impossible not to kneel down and beg for mercy."

"It is said that the army of the Ming Empire dispatched thousands of artillery pieces and poured hundreds of thousands of shells on Istanbul, directly razing the capital of the Ottoman Empire to the ground."

"If you don't kneel down and beg for peace, the people of Ming Dynasty probably won't mind destroying the Ottoman Empire."

Charland on the side said with a smile.

The Persians knew about the bombardment of the capital of the Ottoman Empire by the Ming army, and Persia also had spies in the capital of the Ottoman Empire.

"When will our Persia be as powerful as the Ming Empire?"

"For a small Spain, we can't compete with the Koreans, and we can't compete with the Ottoman Empire for the Mesopotamia if we join hands with the Egyptians."

Ismail I let out a long sigh. Only when he truly felt the strength of the Ming Empire would he know his own weakness.

"Your Majesty will not be discouraged. As long as we continue to learn from the Ming Empire and build a powerful musket force, we will one day be as strong as the Ming people."

Charland quickly relieved.

Recently, the Persian Empire has indeed had too many troubles. On the West African side, the navy that was finally formed was wiped out by the Spaniards, and the expanded colonies were robbed.

The Mesopotamia was retaken by the Ottomans. If it weren't for the Ming people attacking the Ottomans this time and taking the opportunity to take it back, it would be too difficult to take it back.

"I hope so~"

Ismail I said indifferently, he always felt that it was not the way for the Guangming people to engage in the army, and what they learned was just superficial, without their spirit.

The army of the Ming Dynasty swept all directions, but the army of the Persians was repeatedly beaten. The gap was too great. I always felt that there was a problem, but I couldn't find the problem.

It seems that it is more appropriate to learn from Ming Dynasty talents comprehensively, but Persia is not Ming Dynasty, and there are different situations, and many things cannot be learned.
