Bury the Qing Dynasty

Seeing that Zeng Cheng, Liu Huaiwen and other bigwigs are very against this thing, Zhu Jinsong is not selfish. Anyway, harming Europa is a long-term task, and the way to get oil from sand geese is not limited to this one Method.

And Zhu Jinsong also thinks that this kind of gameplay is not very good-a certain Benshan once said that the highest state of deceiving people is not to make people unconscious, but to make the deceived people thank you sincerely.

Zhu Jinsong thinks this kind of gameplay is very challenging, and he wants to try it.

After thinking about it secretly, Zhu Jinsong knocked on the table with his fingers, and asked slowly: "We Daming have bought oil from Osman all these years, haven't we?"

Liu Huaiwen bowed and said: "Your Majesty, our Daming has been buying oil from Mansman all these years, and we have spent 5000 to [-] million yuan. In two or three years, maybe we will have tens of thousands? "

Zhu Jinsong hummed and said, "Then what do you think Osman does with so much money?"

When Zhu Jinsong asked such a question, all the bigwigs present were a little confused.

As we all know, when Liu Laojiao talks about a certain revenue of the national treasury, it is always "a little bit more". It is "more than ten million and twenty million dragon yuan".

Except for the report officially submitted to Emperor Zhu, you never know how much the one behind him is.

In the same way, Liu Laojiao often exaggerates when talking about expenses, such as "5000 million to 3000 million", but in fact the most is 3000 million at most, and no one knows what the unit after [-] million is. Is it silver or dragon yuan.

If it is 3000 million dragon yuan, it is about 300 million taels in silver.

Three million taels of silver...it is an astronomical figure in the homes of ordinary people, but it is not even a splash when it is placed on Daming's foreign arms trade.

Even if it is 3000 million taels of silver, it is nothing in terms of arms trade.

More importantly, the oil that Ottoman sold to Daming can basically be said to be sold at a low price, but the ordnance sold to Ottoman by Da Ming has never been said to be sold at a low price.

In other words, most of Osman's money from selling oil over the years has been replaced by Daming's ordnance, and it was eliminated by the Five Armies Dudufu, which is more than a generation behind.

Now you, Emperor Zhu, still have the face to ask Osman what he does to make money?
While Zeng Cheng, Liu Huaiwen and other bigwigs were secretly slandering themselves, Emperor Zhu Jinsong went on to say: "As the so-called money is a bastard, you can earn it after spending it, and the so-called force is the guarantee of wealth—— I think that since Osman has made money, he should buy more guns and artillery, and can't let the sand goose continue to be arrogant."

After Emperor Zhu's voice fell, Zeng Cheng was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled knowingly.

understood.

Now that Osman has already obtained money by selling oil, and bought guns and artillery with the money, Osman should be stunned, and at least he has to face Sand Goose head-on.

Because Daming needs Osman to fight Sand Goose.

After all, the farmers of Sand Goose are no better than the honest gentlemen of the Donglin Party. The farmers only care about enjoying themselves, and don't care about the lives of ordinary people, let alone hand over money to the treasury of Sand Goose. tax, so Sand Goose's economic strength has not been very good.

Insufficient economic strength means that the military strength of the Sand Goose is also greatly limited-don’t look at the fact that the Sand Goose signed the Nerchinsk and Kyakhta Treaties with the Qing Dynasty and occupied Vladivostok and Lake Baikal. In fact, it was not because of the Sand Goose The military strength of the Qing Dynasty is so great, but because the Qing Dynasty is bad enough, and because the Ming emperors and holy masters of the Qing Dynasty don't feel bad about selling their land.

This also explains from the side why Sand Goose has been having trouble with Osman.

Because Osman has always been a well-known sick man in West Asia, and he and the Qing Empire can be regarded as a pair of sympathetic brothers and sisters, even worse than the Qing Empire in some respects.

For example, the territory of the Qing Dynasty at its peak was more than 300 million square kilometers, while the Ottomans at its peak were only more than 500 million square kilometers.

Although there were many ethnic groups under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty relied on the Eight Banners system in one hand and the skills of killing and slaughtering plus Wen Ziyu, and it was able to control the master with slaves. The various ethnic groups under the rule and the relatively flat governance make the entire Ottomans look like a huge "mosaic".

Compared with the European countries that had gradually developed at this time, sand geese with poor teeth naturally had to pick softer persimmons—the East chose the Qing Dynasty, and the West chose Ottoman.

It's just that the Qing Dynasty is really bad, and although Ottoman is bad enough, he can still fight against Sand Goose twice, and even fight with the countries of Europa.

For example, the last time we started a film with Osman, although in the end Osman was forced to cede a large area of ​​land, but based on the casualty data of each other and the cost of the war, Sand Goose actually didn't get much of a bargain.

In addition, it was suddenly put on by the Habsburg family alliance, and even Moscow was almost burned, and the Habsburg family was so fucking ruthless that they stabbed the sand goose and then walked away. Paul I and Alexander and his son must also be suffocating, and urgently need a victory to divert the successive serf rebellions in Sha Goose.

Therefore, Emperor Zhu wanted to provoke Sand Goose to start a film with Ottoman. In fact, he didn’t need to specifically provoke Sand Goose, he just needed someone to provoke Ottoman—because he had been bullied by Da Ming and Sand Goose all these years, and Osman’s heart was also suppressed. There is a fire!
More importantly, Ottomans had already had a turmoil. First, Mustafa IV led the Ottoman traditional nobles to rebel and killed the then Sultan and Caliph Selim III, and then Mahmud II He killed Mustafa IV with the support of Arendar Mustafa Pasha.

The impact of this turmoil on Ottoman was extremely profound.

First of all, the reformist nobles in the Ottoman capital Istanbul were purged by Mustafa IV during the rebellion of Mustafa IV. After Mustafa IV came to power, the traditional aristocratic forces were attacked again Strong blows from Mahmud II and Arendar Mustafa Pasha.

The terrible thing is that the Ottoman nobles, whether they are conservative or reformist, have suffered bad luck in this turmoil. Even the entire Ottoman aristocratic ruling system has been crumbling, and the authority of the Ottoman court has also been questioned.

Under such circumstances, Mahmud II could only continue to push forward reforms, which would inevitably encounter resistance from traditional forces in the Ottoman local provinces.

In other words, Ottoman's current sultan and caliph Mahmud II urgently needed a big external victory to improve the prestige of himself and the Ottoman court, so as to continue the reforms that Selim III failed to complete.

Thinking of this, Zeng Cheng couldn't help laughing and said: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, I will send someone to summon Osman's envoy when I get back."

Zhu Jinsong smiled and waved his hands, and said, "Zeng Qing doesn't need to summon Ottoman's envoys—if you summon Ottoman's envoys, who will summon the Sand Goose envoys? If both envoys are summoned, then Osman and When the sand geese started fighting, Zeng Qing didn't suspect instigating it?"

Zeng Cheng wondered if I would see the envoys of Osman and Sand Goose, don't we all have to instigate them to do it?Anyway, someone has to take the blame. It just so happens that the old man is not too young this year. In a few years, he will almost retire and return home. Isn't it appropriate to take the blame?
Just when Zeng Cheng was in a daze, Zhu Jinsong turned his attention to Ke Zhiming again: "Turn back and ask someone to go to Sand Goose and Ottoman, and let the Habsburg family and England take the blame."

Seeing that Ke Zhiming accepted the job without hesitation, Zeng Cheng couldn't help being a little dumbfounded: "Your Majesty, I don't doubt the abilities of Commander Ke and Jin Yiwei, but let the Habsburg family and England take the blame. Son, I'm afraid it's not very reliable, right?"

Zhu Jinsong laughed and asked, "Why is it so unreliable?"

Zeng Cheng bowed and said: "Return to Your Majesty: The Habsburg family formed an alliance army to attack Sand Goose before, and almost destroyed Moscow in Sand Goose. Although it can’t be said that it’s a serious injury, at least it can be regarded as a muscle injury, and now it’s licking the wound, these two are almost the least likely to provoke Sand Goose and Osman to make a movie?”

Zhu Jinsong shook his head with a smile, and said: "It is precisely because these two families are the least likely, so these two families are the most suspected - Zeng Qing still remembers that Mrs. Deficit of the Habsburg family has given George The third became a lover?"

After Zeng Cheng nodded, Zhu Jinsong went on to say: "The coalition forces of the Habsburg family almost destroyed Moscow. We must find a way to avoid the sand geese's revenge, right? George III, as Franz II's A cheap son-in-law must also help his cheap father-in-law, isn't that right?"

"As long as the sand geese can be provoked to fight with Ottoman, the Habsburg family can gain a little respite, and England can also take the opportunity to sell some guns and artillery developed by themselves-as long as someone is in the middle, Ottoman will find England Buying guns and artillery is also a very reasonable thing, right? After all, England’s East India Company is still in Tianzhu, which is very close to Ottoman.”

"More importantly, it doesn't matter whether other people believe it or not, as long as Sand Goose and Osman believe it, after all, Sand Goose can't find a softer persimmon than Osman, and Osman absolutely has no extra energy to attack Europa now. .”

"Don't forget, Osman has made many films with Europa in history, but the result of the film is that Osman is beaten almost every time."

"Now that Osman has experienced the rebellion of Mustafa IV and the turmoil of Mahmud II's ascension to the throne, it is absolutely impossible for Osman to have extra energy to attack Europa. Relatively speaking, Sand Goose has become a relatively soft persimmon."

"So, even if Osman and Sand Goose knew that it was impossible for the Habsburg family and England to do things secretly, they would force themselves to believe it."

Zeng Cheng suddenly had an unspeakable feeling - it seemed that this was the case, but he always felt that something was wrong?
But before Zeng Cheng figured out what was wrong, Emperor Zhu laughed again and said, "Believe it or not, even England and the Habsburgs may acquiesce that they did all of this. ?”

Zeng Cheng felt that his IQ had been insulted.

It is fair to say that Osman and the Sand Goose would hold their noses and admit it. After all, both Ottoman and the Sand Goose need a softer persimmon to squeeze, but if England and the Habsburg family will also acquiesce, then It's a bit of a nonsense.

Zeng Cheng even suspected that Sand Goose, Ottoman, England, and the Habsburg family could guess that Daming was doing something secretly. After all, it is really impossible for ordinary people to play the big chess of four countries at once!

After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a reason, Zeng Cheng simply bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I'm so stupid, I really can't figure out why the Habsburg family and England would admit to secretly instigating this kind of... ..."

Zhu Jinsong laughed and said, "Is this a crime?"

Zeng Cheng was silent.

But Zhu Jinsong said: "Could it be that Zeng Qing thinks so, after all, this kind of thing is not a good thing, and it is indeed disgraceful to secretly instigate two countries to open a film. But...England and Habs What does the Bao family need most now?"

Zhu Jinsong bent his fingers and knocked on the table: "What England and the Habsburg family need most now is nothing but reputation-if it is to provoke other countries to open up films with each other, England and the Habsburg family will of course I dare not admit it, but it’s not the same as Sand Goose and Ottoman.”

"Because the countries in Europa have never regarded Ottoman and Sand Goose as part of them."

"In the eyes of the European countries, the Sand Goose is a Far Eastern country like our Ming Dynasty. They think that the Sand Goose will be closer to our Ming Dynasty. The same is true for Osman."

"So, if England and the Habsburgs can provoke Ottoman and Sand Goose to start a film, the European countries will instead regard England and the Habsburgs as heroes."

"With this reputation, England will get a chance to breathe, the Habsburg family will also get a chance to breathe, and the countries of Europa will also be willing to give them a chance to breathe."

Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs were a little dumbfounded.

The savages of Europa are so good at playing?
In other words, a calculating person can still calculate like this?

Zhu Jinsong went on to say: "Of course, the more important reason why England and Habsburg are likely to acquiesce lies in the interests."

Zeng Cheng was taken aback, and asked, "Benefits?"
