Chapter 987 Destroying the country, that's military merit
Rebellion!
The news of the Suez rebellion was like a whirlwind to Istanbul, and when this news reached Sudan and Davizi, they did not even react much.
The Ottoman without rebellion is not the real Ottoman. A few years ago, more than a dozen Pashas launched a rebellion at the same time. Of course, they were defeated by the central government of the Empire, and all Pashas who participated in the rebellion were executed.
So many Pashas had no success in rebellion at the same time, and it was just a Suez Pasha.
Even Vizikara Mustafa thought this was a good thing. Suez Pasha Ahmed was his brother-in-law's former Vizika Coprulu Ahmed. Now he is taking the opportunity to deal with them.
On the day the news arrived in Istanbul, Kara Mustafa ordered the Egyptian Governor to conscript 20,000 Mamulik to go to Former Suez to quell the rebellion. Mamulik, in the Tianfang World, is an extremely special name. Its original meaning was "slaves". The "Turkish Guram" system that first appeared in the Abbasid Dynasty of the Tianfang Empire gradually formed a unique military aristocratic group.
Mamulik was a slave soldier serving the Caliph in the Middle Ages. Later, with the diminishing power of the Caliph and the disintegration of the Ayubic dynasty, they gradually became a powerful military ruling group and established their own dynasty. In the view of historians, because Mamulik swept away the remnants of the Crusaders on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean and confronted the Mongolian forces in Palestine and Syria, the Tianfang Green Cult culture was spared from being destroyed. From the end of the 14th century, due to the incompetence of the Mamulik successors and internal strife, the national strength of the Mamulik dynasty declined, and the house was leaking and raining overnight. The Bedouin people came to harass, the lame Timur attacked, the Portuguese also attacked the Red Sea commercial road, and the Ottoman Empire also came to join in for fun. Then they occupied Egypt and Syria, and the dynasty rule ended.
However, despite the destruction of the dynasty, the Mamulik nobles were still preserved under the Ottoman ruling system in Egypt, and they ruled Egypt with the Egyptian governor. However, for the Ottoman Empire, these Mamulik nobles who were good at fighting were still potential unstable factors for the empire. In order to avoid their growth, they weakened their strength through continuous recruitment.
For Istanbul, Egypt's Mamuruk is also a group of restless "potential insurgents". It is a great thing to use Mamuruk to suppress the Suez Pasha's rebellion.
While Mamuliuk from Egypt received the order to start gathering, in the port of Suez, ten more Ming warships and merchant ships sailed into the harbor. These were reinforcements from the "Straits Colony".
The Straits Colony was the only colony of the Ming Dynasty in the Middle East. It was originally established in the Pingrong City of Musandam. Because it guarded the Strait of Hormuz and its strategic position was extremely important, the Ming Dynasty specially established the "Pingrong City" on that barren land.
After the "Pseudo-Tang" went south to destroy Persia, in order to win the faith, the "Pseudo-Tang" ceded the islands of Hormuz, Geshm Island and other islands to the Ming Dynasty. After controlling the entire Strait of Hormuz, the Ming Dynasty established a "Strait Colony".
Although the islands had dry climate and barren land, they had always been the most important stronghold of the Ming Dynasty in the Persian Gulf because they could grow grains. After the colonial prefect learned that the imperial envoy was detained, they immediately sent a total of 3,000 reinforcements to Sui!
With the rapid sailing of the flying scissors, the Mamuruks of Egypt were still preparing to set off for the war when the three thousand reinforcements arrived. They had to gather from all over the place to Cairo, and then recruit food and grass, etc. It would take at least one month to start the journey. The grinding craftsman... is not the Chinese patent.
While reinforcements from the Straits Colony arrived in Suez, the Straits Colony sent a clipper to report to the country that the delegation was detained. Twelve days later, after the Clippers delivered the letter to Chenghua Province, the port sunlight signal station immediately passed the information to the mainland through the sunlight signal. In less than three hours, Du Yuanwei and the Governor of the Straits Colony sent the documents of the Five Army Governor's Office respectively. Before the case of the Cabinet and the Minister of the Interior, everyone was shocked.
This is the 21st year of the Saint!
Some people dare to detain or even kill the Ming envoy!
Uncle can tolerate it, aunt can’t.
Before the emperor could make a decision, the Governor's Office of the Five Army had already started to flip through the map and formulate a combat plan to "punish the Ottoman".
What a big deal if they are tens of thousands of miles away?
"Those who violate my great power in the future will be punished even if they are far away, and their entire family will be punished!"
Who doesn't know the emperor's character?
Soon the cabinet's report was delivered to Zhu Guoqiang. The ministers were furious that the emperor would be furious, but they never thought that the emperor had just given a simple instruction.
"I understand, let the prince handle it!"
Why should I leave it to the prince?
Because the war against the Ottomans was already under Zhu Guoqiang's plan, it was to give military achievements to the prince! Even sending envoys to the Ottomans and asking them to restrain the pirates, all of which were to find excuses to start the war.
People are sleepy and give me a pillow, but now Ottoman has brought the excuse to him!
Well, go to the prince’s side quickly!
When the cabinet ministers arrived at the Prince's Mansion, as soon as they got off the carriage, they heard a shocking news that the Prince had gone to the Five Army Governor's Mansion!
Several cabinet ministers looked at each other and understood each other's meaning from each other's eyes.
"It's going to fight!"
As the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, it was not the first time Zhu Heyu came to the Governor's Office of the Five Army. In fact, seven years ago, when he graduated from the Royal Public School, he went to the Governor's Office of the Five Army as a new officer to report that day he sat upright in his military uniform, waiting to report to the assignment. That day he was assigned to "Yulin Zuo Town". The ten towns of the Ming Dynasty's personal army were stationed in Nanzhili. The military positions of the emperor and the crown prince were both in Yulin Guards, and even Zhu Heyu served in Yulin Zuo Town.
“Are the plan ready?”
Standing at the map table, Zhu Heyu's expression was much more mature than seven years ago. He did not wear the prince's dragon robe today, but was wearing a military uniform.
This is of course a good omen to the generals of the Five Army Governor's Office, especially now the prince's attitude is about to fight!
“The plan has been made.”
Chen Wudi smiled and stroked his beards:
"Your Highness, because the Ottoman is located overseas, I plan to use the fleet stationed in Europe as the main force, approach Istanbul through the Mediterranean and put pressure on it."
The fleet exerted pressure, which is a normal diplomatic method.
"no."
Zhu Heyu said directly.
"Those who violate my great power will be punished even if they are far away. Ottoman dares to detain my envoys and harm my envoys. If they cannot be severely punished, how can the countries in the world respect my great Ming?"
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Heyu said.
"So, sending troops in this matter is not as simple as punishing and putting pressure on them to release envoys, but rather to make Ottoman pay the price for his atrocities!"
Pay the price?
Chen Wudi tentatively said.
"I wonder what Your Highness means?"
"Dayuan Kingdom killed the envoys of the Han Dynasty. How should the Han Dynasty deal with it?"
His Royal Highness's rebellious question surprised Chen Wudi and others.
"Two conquered Wan until his country was destroyed!"
"Destroy the country?"
"Yes, it means destroying the country!"
Zhu Heyu said in a deep voice.
"This guy is so arrogant and does not destroy his country. Wouldn't my Ming Dynasty be lighted by the world? This battle should be a battle to destroy his country!"
"The Battle to Destroy the Country!"
Chen Wudi's heart was beating wildly. The battle to destroy the country is OK! This is the best thing. For soldiers, the most important thing is military industry, especially for those who did not have enough military achievements to be awarded titles at that time, they have long been looking forward to this day. Without military achievements, they cannot get the titles.
If it is a small fight, it will definitely not be able to make any military achievements. But if it is a battle to destroy the country, it will be different.
Destroy the country!
Moreover, it is a big country or a strong country that is destroyed. Even if it is tens of thousands of miles away, what's the big deal?
After a while, Chen Wudi said with some concern.
"Inside, the cabinet is afraid..."
"Don't worry!"
Zhu Heyu smiled.
