Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1901, not everyone in our Ottoman Empire can be bullied

Among the ruined palaces in Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, the Ottomans managed to find a relatively complete palace. Coupled with urgent construction, it became the temporary palace of Selim I.

The entire palace is very simple, even Selim's living expenses are very simple.

The splendor and luxury of the past have disappeared, and the gold and silver have been sold to the Ming Empire, and they can only be dealt with and used.

"Great Sultan, the area assigned to the Ming people's garrison has been finalized, just across the strait from our capital."

Ali Pasha came to the palace full of exhaustion and reported to Selim I.

He is like a butt wiper, wiping the ass of the Ottoman Empire everywhere.

He was the one who negotiated peace with Daming, he was the one who negotiated the garrison, and he was the one who rebuilt the capital. There were too many things to do.

He felt tired from all the previous actions, and wanted to take a good rest and rest for a while.

But he also knows that he can't rest now, and there are still many things waiting for him to deal with. Assisting the great sultan to rescue the Ottoman Empire from the dire straits is the most important thing right now.

"Across the strait?"

When Selim I heard this, he fell silent immediately. Letting the Ming people have a garrison in such a place is a thorn in the flesh. Although the negotiation stipulates that the number of garrisons will not exceed 2, it is still enough to deal with the Ottomans. The imperial capital poses a serious threat.

However, there is no other way now, the contract has been signed, and the Ming army has not completely withdrawn from the territory of the Ottoman Empire.

Besides, I gave Selim I 100 guts, and now I don't dare to go back on my word, I'm really afraid of being beaten.

"It's good to settle down, and I can just learn more from the people of Daming in the future."

Selim I said with a smile on his face.

"Great Sultan, the people of Ming Dynasty started to buy our slaves again, but the price has been lowered a lot."

The Minister of Finance, Moses the Jew, reported the financial situation to Selim I.

This time, they paid a large sum of money to the Ming people, almost completely compensating the wealth accumulated by the Ottoman Empire over the past ten years, and owed a huge debt, which is enough to cause headaches every year , all hopes are placed on the slave trade.

"Why was the price lowered?"

Selim I asked puzzledly.

"Because the supply of slaves in the market has suddenly increased, the Ming army has plundered in our Ottoman Empire and captured many people to be sold as slaves."

Moses explained weakly.

"Damn Ming people!"

Hearing this, Selim I clenched his fists again. This is really an enmity between the country and the family, and the people of Ming Dynasty are really too ruthless.

"If it's cheap, it's cheap, just grab more slaves from Europe."

But soon, Selim I calmed down again, and said indifferently.

Europe is its own purse, with endless slaves and endless gold and silver.

"Great sultan, news has just come that my heroic court regiments of the Ottoman Empire have severely damaged the European coalition forces in the Bulgarian mountains!"

At this time, Gurebas, the general of the Ottoman Empire, walked in with his head held high and his chest held high to report.

"it is good!"

When Selim I heard it, he immediately shouted happily.

Finally heard a good news.

As long as they don't fight the Ming people, the Ottoman Empire will still be the Ottoman Empire, the overlord of the Eurasian continent, and a village that sweeps all directions.

Those barbarians in Europe, they thought that our weak Ottoman Empire could be easy to bully, so they decisively gave you a heavy blow.

"Well done, tell them to continue to fight, keep fighting, regain lost ground, and capture more slaves, the more the better."

The European battlefield is a very important battlefield. It is related to whether the Ottoman Empire can continue to capture slaves. The source of slave income is related to whether the Ottoman Empire can pay the full amount of war reparations to the Ming people.

He didn't want to provoke the Ming people again because he couldn't pay the war indemnity, the price was really too high.

"Great Sultan, there is another piece of good news."

"Our 2 palace guards have arrived in Asia Minor, attacked the Persians head-on in Mosul, beheaded more than [-], and recaptured the north of the Mesopotamia in one fell swoop, and are currently marching towards Baghdad."

Gurebas once again reported good news to Selim I.

The 20 elite Ottoman army was the last trump card in the hands of Selim I, and it did not disappoint Selim I.

Good news came one after another from the east and the west.

The Europeans were punched on the western front, the Persians and Egyptians were stepped on the eastern front, a large number of lost lands were recovered, and the morale and spirit of the Ottoman Empire were rebuilt, deterring the tribal leaders and local nobles who were about to move.

"Haha, good, great, well done, I want to reward every soldier well."

Selim I was instantly happier, and heaved a sigh of relief.

The east and west lines are stable, and the interior is stable.

What I am most afraid of is that it will not be stable. Under internal and external troubles, the Ottoman Empire will collapse directly.

"Send an order to the soldiers on the front line, let them fight hard, teach those prodigals a lesson, and let them know that not everyone in our Ottoman Empire can be bullied."

"We have always been the only ones who bullied them. They even dared to take the initiative to attack us. This is purely courting death. Beat me hard and clean them up hard."

Selim I seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and he became more energetic.

After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Send an order to the chiefs of the tribes and local nobles to come to Istanbul within ten days, and kill anyone who doesn't come."

After stabilizing the external situation, Selim I decisively ordered the Quartet to clean up the internal tribal leaders, especially those Turkmen tribe leaders who had always been eccentric. They had to be more in awe of themselves.

Some time ago, they turned a deaf ear to their own orders, and they didn't take themselves seriously at all. If the situation was not tight at that time, Selim I would have prepared to march in person, and went to have a good chat with these Turkmen tribe leaders in person.

"Yes~"

Ali Pasha nodded quickly, and then ordered some ministers to handle the matter.

Selim I is indeed a talented and generous monarch, and he is impeccable in doing things. Although the Ottoman Empire is facing difficulties now, the Ottoman Empire will definitely be able to overcome these difficulties.

He is very aware of internal and external troubles, and he has also found a solution to them.

It is estimated that many tribal leaders and military nobles are about to lose their heads this time. Selim I will definitely kill some people to consolidate his status and majesty.

Only by consolidating the interior, the Ottoman Empire can get more troops from all over the country, quickly fill the current emptiness of power, and be able to become tougher externally.

Perhaps the only thing he did wrong was that he shouldn't make the mistakes his father Bayezid II made, and shouldn't provoke the Ming people, otherwise the current Ottoman Empire would be an extremely powerful Ottoman Empire.

"Report~"

"The Spanish navy bombarded Izmir, demanding that the Ottoman Empire must cede Cyprus and compensate Spain with fifty million taels of silver."

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

"Bang~"

Hearing the messenger's words, Selim I immediately exploded with anger.

This Spain is really a good player when he is in trouble. Taking advantage of the fact that the navy of the Ottoman Empire has been fighting, and taking advantage of his weakness, he even attacked himself.

Making such an unreasonable request, ceding the land, and paying fifty million taels of silver is really a lion, and he is not afraid of supporting himself to death.

What's more, what kind of bird is Spain.

It used to be a land of looting by the pirates of the Ottoman Empire, and they didn't even dare to collapse in front of the Ottoman Empire. Now they dare to bombard their own port cities and want to cede land for compensation, which is simply too deceitful.

"How many warships do we have?"

"Less than 30 ships~"

Ali Pasha quickly replied.

"Send them all out, throw those Spaniards into the sea for me, and send an order to everyone. In the future, any ship that encounters a Spaniard will not be let go, and I will loot it clean. "

Selim I was really angry, wishing he could go to the mainland of Spain now.

"But without the protection of warships, wouldn't our capital be safe at all?"

Upon hearing this, Ali Pasha said hastily.

"What kind of protection is needed now, anyway, it's all in ruins, at worst, let people bombard it again."

"What we need is to teach those foreign enemies a lesson and let them know how powerful we are, otherwise anyone will want to take a bite out of our Ottoman Empire, thinking that we are easy to bully."

Selim I said without thinking, the capital is already in ruins, it doesn't matter, the big deal is to move the capital to other places first.

"Yes~"

Ali Pasha and Gurebas replied in unison, that is indeed the case, this can't beat the Ming people, can it also beat you Spaniards?
Not everyone in the Ottoman Empire can come and bully them. If the Spaniards were given land and compensation, everyone would come and bully the Ottoman Empire in the future, and the Ottoman Empire would become a bully in everyone’s eyes.

So it is necessary to fight back, fight back fiercely, let them know that not everyone in the Ottoman Empire can know, even if their vitality is seriously injured, it is not something they can take advantage of.

"Persians, Europeans, Egyptians, Spaniards, and Greeks~"

"When I catch my breath, I will clean up every one of them."

Selim I swore silently in his heart.
