Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 465
When Mustafa Pasha proposed the idea of ​​using the power of Ming Dynasty to solve the Ottoman Guards and traditional nobles, Mahmud II also couldn't sit still.

Unlike the Twelve Ming Emperors of the Qing Dynasty who have been immersed in dreams, Ottoman's sultans are very sober. Even in the face of "crushing two balls", they still do not change their minds. Something like Mustafa IV.

As for Mahmud II...

Heretics are known to be more hateful than heretics, and people tend to feel that other factions of the same faction are more damned than enemies of the opposing faction.

When the tragic death of Selim III, the rebellion of Mustafa IV and many other tragedies and farces were staged in turn, when Ottoman sent benefits to Ming Dynasty again and again, even Mahmud II himself was called around like a dog by Emperor Zhu , Mahmud II couldn't wait to get rid of the Ottoman Guards.

As a certain principal said: Those who want to get out of it must first settle in.

If you look at Ottoman as a person, then the guards that have existed in Ottoman for hundreds of years are like cancerous tumors on the human body.

Mahmud II knew very well that if he could not solve the Ottoman Guards, all his ideas about reform could only be ideas, and all plans for reform could only be on paper, and would never be resolved. It may really be implemented.

Thinking about Selim III who died because he failed to get rid of the Imperial Guards, Mahmud II suddenly made up his mind.

Slightly nodding to Mustafa Pasha, Mahmud II gritted his teeth and said, "You send someone to reply to the Ming Emperor, saying that Ben Sudan will personally take the Ottoman Guards and Navy to Cape Assel to participate in the Ming Dynasty. maritime military exercises."

Mustafa Pasha nodded in response, and then turned the topic back to the Suez Canal: "According to the information we have inquired, England, Sand Goose, and the Habsburg family are all very interested in the Suez Canal project. , the only problem now is that we don't have enough labor to dig the canal."

Mahmud II was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Why, isn't the solution proposed by the Ming emperor not good?"

The method proposed by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the mouth of Mahmoud II was that Osman first tried to win over the nobles, lords and gentry from the village to become shareholders, and then used the money to recruit Ottoman civilians to work on the canal construction site—— The advantage of this is that it can not only dig the canal, but also increase the income of the Ottoman civilians, and after the canal is opened, it can enrich the Ottoman treasury.

However, Mustafa Pasha shook his head slightly: "At the beginning, I also thought that the method proposed by the emperor of Ming Dynasty was very good, but after I sent people to investigate the canal project, I found out that the Suez Canal was going to be excavated. The difficulty is far greater than we imagined."

"If all the projects are entrusted to civilians, then the casualties of civilians will be very large, and it may affect the progress and stability of the entire project."

"If you want to use a large amount of labor like the Ming Dynasty..."

Mustafa Pasha said with a troubled face: "First of all, we don't have so many laborers, and secondly, we don't have a stable source of labor like Ming. That is to say, we can't use as much labor as Ming. labor."

When Mustafa Pasha said this, Mahmud II also felt a little numb.

As we all know, both the English East India Company and the Dutch East India Company are nothing more than labor dispatch companies of Ming Dynasty—these two companies are called companies, but they are actually gangs of slave traders. They were all sold to Da Ming as piglets, so Da Ming was able to use labor without any scruples.

With the support of Daming, the British and Dutch East India Companies have monopolized nearly 90.00% of Xiaopoqiu's labor dispatch business, and the remaining [-]% is shared equally among the hundred or so countries on Xiaopoqiu.

In other words, apart from Ming Dynasty, whether other countries on the small broken ball can afford labor is one thing. The main reason is that there is no labor dispatch partner like the East India Company, and there is no stable source of labor at all. It doesn't matter if you want to use labor.

After thinking about it, Mahmud II simply looked at Mustafa Pasha and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Mustafa Pasha thought about it and replied: "It cannot be said that there is no solution at all. It mainly depends on whether it can be successful. According to the inferences of those scholars, the excavation of the Suez Canal is likely to cause thousands of casualties. If the Sultan If we can really rely on the Ming emperor and the Ming army to deal with the imperial guards, then wouldn’t there be laborers?”

Use the Praetorian Guards as labor?

Mahmud II suddenly had a feeling of heartbeat.

After thinking about it secretly, Mahmoud II couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "I will find a way to turn the Imperial Guards into laborers."

……

When Mahmoud II and Mustafa Pasha were figuring out how to use the sword of Emperor Ming to kill the Ottoman Guards, Emperor Zhu was basking in the sun at Cape Assel.

Mainly too busy.

Maritime military exercises are not just a matter of lip service. They need to prepare materials, mobilize the fleet and army participating in the exercise, clean up the nearby sea area, and prepare for all kinds of messy things. It takes time Not a star and a half.

However, the crux of the problem is that Emperor Zhu doesn't need to worry about these issues. Naturally, someone will help Emperor Zhu consider all aspects and prepare in advance.

Therefore, Emperor Zhu really had nothing to do except bask in the sun.

Until Jin Yiwei sent relevant information about Sri Lanka.

"Yamamoto Twentymoto led his [-] Japanese slaves to attack Sri Lanka wantonly. The East India Company was defeated and retreated. The general manager Howard was cut off. Deputy general managers Wallace Jr. and Marshall temporarily handled all the affairs of the East India Company on behalf of Howard. "

"England has received news that Yamamoto 28 has led troops to attack Sri Lanka. At present, it has sent a fleet of twelve warships to Sri Lanka to support the East India Company, and has sent people to the country of Wa, trying to put pressure on the country of Japan. Solve the Sri Lankan problem."

"George III has a lot of rebellious and disobedient words in his palace, he should be punished!"

"..."

After roughly reading the information, Emperor Zhu handed it over to the eldest prince Zhu Jianying, and then said with a smile: "You should take a good look at these information."

The eldest prince, Zhu Jianying, also quickly read the information, but after reading it, Zhu Jianying was a little confused.

According to the information given by Jin Yiwei, the English East India Company can be regarded as a strong force in the west of Tianzhu, and all kinds of equipment such as giant ships and cannons are readily available. Although the commander of the Chennai military base, Luo Hong It is said that the East India Company is not considered an army, it can only be regarded as a desperado for money, but with their equipment and the number of troops, it is impossible for them to be crushed and beaten by a mere [-] short people, right?

Also, is George III of England really stupid or fake?Who the hell knows that the Wa Kingdom is a dog raised by Daming, and this idiot actually wants to send someone to the Wa Kingdom to put pressure on the Wa Kingdom?Doesn't he really know that Wa country is decided by the shogunate?

The last piece of information was quite funny - the Jinyiwei who sent out this piece of information didn't seem to regard George III as the monarch of a country at all, but regarded him as a courtier of Emperor Zhu and his old man.

Of course, as the saying goes, is it the king's land under the whole world, and the king's ministers on the shore of the land, Emperor Zhu was ordered by the sky, and he held Qian Bingkun, so it is no problem to regard George III as the courtier of Emperor Zhu.

Emperor Zhu saw that classmate Zhu Jianying was bewildered and wanted to laugh but could only suppress it, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "There are monkeys who will kill monkeys to make an example of chickens, what are you still thinking about?"

Classmate Zhu Jianying shook her head slightly, and said in deliberation, "I just can't believe that the East India Company will be crushed and beaten by a mere [-] short people?"

When Zhu Jianying said this, he told Emperor Zhu that he would not do it. After a while, Emperor Zhu hesitated and said: "Do you think there is a possibility that [-] troops are considered a large force in Europa?" Strong military power?"

Zhu Jianying was even more confused immediately, and couldn't even believe what he heard: "Fifty thousand? Can fifty thousand be considered a very powerful military force? Then let's Ming..."

Emperor Zhu waved his hand with a smile, and said, "Like our Central Plains Hall, those dwarfs also had the so-called Warring States Period in their history. Is it completely at the level of a few villages fighting with weapons?"

Zhu Jianying nodded slightly.

Compared with the historical materials of Europa, which are either recorded on parchment or passed on by word of mouth, so that they are more and more popular, there are more or less decent records of the short scorpions who have been taught by the Central Plains. There are many materials for reference. Of course, Zhu Jianying also knows what kind of virtue is in the so-called Warring States Period of Wa Kingdom.

Let's put it this way, compared with the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period in the history of Tangkou in the Central Plains where tens of thousands of people participated in the war and killed 10 to 40 people, the so-called Warring States period in the Wa Kingdom was really just a few villages fighting with weapons.

Especially after reading the records of fighting with weapons in Xingping Village and Xing'an Village, Zhu Jianying deeply realized that the level of the so-called national warfare in the Wa Kingdom may not be as good as that of the two villages in Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Zhu went on to say: "Then let me tell you again, these barbarian countries in Europe are actually similar to the so-called Warring States Period of the short man. They are all small countries with bigger farts, especially England - the land is only a thousand miles away, and the people are not enough. Ten million, how many troops do you think the East India Company can have with the size of England?"

Speaking of this, Emperor Zhu suddenly changed the subject: "Of course, you can't underestimate England because of this. George III still has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and he can be regarded as a very powerful country in Europe."

"Especially England's navy, which once competed with Spain, Holland, Portugal, France and other European countries in the sea, is not something you can handle easily."

Zhu Jianying nodded, and then asked curiously: "Then the English East India Company must have 2 people in Sri Lanka? Even if 2 people can't beat those short guys, at least the defense should be fine, but Judging from this information, it seems that they can't even defend?"

"Also, if England's navy is really as powerful as your old man said, can those dwarfs from Japan defeat the British East India Company before the England navy reaches Sri Lanka? Can they hold Sri Lanka?"

"Or, your old man didn't intend to let those dwarves guard Sri Lanka from the beginning, but just planned to use their name to lure England into the bait, and after they attacked the dwarfs, they attacked England's navy as the suzerain of Japan?"

When Zhu Jianying asked these questions one after another, Emperor Zhu smiled gratifiedly.

Emperor Zhu said with a smile: "The English East India Company can't hold Sri Lanka, but those dwarfs from the Japanese country can hold Sri Lanka."

"It's not because the East India Company's army is too useless, nor is it because of how powerful those dwarfs are, but because of Sri Lanka's own geographical location and other factors."

"First of all, Sri Lanka is surrounded by the sea on all sides, so there is no danger to defend, and secondly, the dwarfs are superior in military strength, and there is no difference in ordnance. In addition, the brains of the Japanese slaves are not normal, and they don't care about life and death at all. Fifty thousand dwarves It is naturally easy to beat the [-] East India Company troops who are greedy for life and afraid of death."

"On the other hand, England sent a fleet of twelve warships to Sri Lanka—by the time these twelve warships arrived in Sri Lanka, the East India Company's army might have been wiped out by the dwarves. With the cooperation of the ground forces of the British East India Company, how did these twelve warships land to fight against the dwarfs?"

Zhu Jianying nodded, and asked thoughtfully: "Then, your old man suddenly wants to conduct a sea military exercise with Osman, I'm afraid it's not just to deter Osman, but it's probably aimed at the fleet sent by England to support Sri Lanka ?”

Hearing what Zhu Jianying said, the look on Emperor Zhu's face suddenly became more gratified and happy: "Yes, if it's just for Ottoman, we only need to order the Tianzi fleet to go to the Suez Canal and shoot a few shots. That's enough. , why pull Osman again?"

"In fact, our real purpose is to use the name of military exercises to drive apart the alliance between Ottoman, England, the Sand Goose, and the Habsburgs——Ottoman's navy is conducting maritime military exercises with our Daming Navy, and our Daming's What do you think George III and England will think if the navy goes back and beats the English navy?"
