Chapter 1126 Chaotic ministers and thieves (for support(1/2)

Could it be that he wants to steal the Lord!

When this thought arose in Chen Sen's mind, his breathing couldn't help but tighten. Is this a conspiracy or...

In this silence, the battlefield became very quiet. At the forefront of the battle between the two armies, in this bloody place, the two of them stood quietly, looking at each other.

"His Excellency General, to be honest, I am not an Ottoman either!"

Coprulu broke his silence and said.

"I am from Alba and Asian, and even my father is from a Christian family. I have no feelings for Ottomans, so I will stand up and hope to negotiate with you!"

These so-called "Jenicherry Legions" seem to be extremely loyal, but in fact, their loyalty has always been limited. In history, when the Ottomans were defeated, the Jeenicherry Legions and Ottoman soldiers captured by Christian countries actually begged to convert to Catholicism in order to survive.

The Catholic Church and the Green Church are regarded as heretics and have fought for their lives. Not only are the people of the Jenicheri Legion, but even the great figures like Coprulu, but even the faith of the people of the Tianfang is a problem.

After all, the Tianfang Cultists of this era did not have the kind of "confidence" like a rich man, especially the Tianfang people. Many of them were just barely able to eat enough. They struggled on the poverty line and could easily change their faith. The most obvious example is the colonial strongholds in Portugal in the Red Sea, Persian Gulf and other places. Many locals directly converted to Catholicism due to excessive exploitation by local officials. The so-called "piousness of faith" itself is a joke.

Coprulu said that he had no feelings for the Ottomans, and Chen Sen did not doubt that he had already had a basic understanding of this country for so long that he had already made a basic understanding of this country. In order to force Albanians, Serbs, Armenians and Bulgarians to change their beliefs, the Ottomans implemented various tax discrimination policies, first of all, tax discrimination policies. As early as a century and a half ago, the Ottoman government implemented a differential tax payment system and imposed heavy taxes on Christian families. If any man in the family converted to the green religion, additional taxes could be exempted. In the past century and a half, this tax has increased by nearly 200 times!

There is also business discrimination. Christians are prohibited from participating in lucrative business activities. These industries are all monopolized by the Green Congregants. Finally, there is a "blood tax". Those who are plundered will be sent to the Ottoman barracks for military training and convert to the Green Congregation.

Due to its fierce military tradition, a large number of Albanians stood out and became the guards and generals of the Sultan, fighting for the Ottoman Empire. Because the Albanians were even more brave than the Ottomans, they were often given high-ranking officials and generous salaries. Not only did the generals emerge, but as many as twenty-five people even worshiped Davizi. Albania became the cradle of the Ottoman generals and prime ministers.

But even so, will people like Koprulu maintain 100% loyalty to the empire just because they are the officials of Davizier?

The answer is obvious, their loyalty is limited.

Compared to loyalty, they are more eager to preserve their glory and wealth, because they are willing to change their faith and serve their master in order to obtain all of this.

Compared to their loyalty to their masters, their loyalty to glory and wealth is 100%.

"negotiation……"

Chen Sen asked back as he looked at the Great Vizier, who was below ten thousand people in the Ottoman Empire.

"Since it's a negotiation, you must have what you want. Let's make it open and tell what you want first."

"General, it's not what I want, but what we want. What we want is very simple. We know that in France, there are many nobles who are hereditary officials enthroned by China. Is the Xuanfu Envoy? If possible, I hope China can enthrone us as the Xuanfu Envoy Envoy, and of course we will be loyal to the Chinese emperor."

If it were any other country, Coprulu would not have made such a neat peace talk. Why can we do this to China? Because China has indeed kept its promises. The officials they enthroned in France are said to be Chinese officials, but in fact they are local emperors.

Pasha...that was also an official of the Ottoman Sultan, but if they surrendered to the Chinese, they could be the local emperors, and they were hereditary. Isn’t this what they dreamed of?

As for Sudan...it doesn't matter at all!

"oh……"

Nodded without objection, Chen Sen asked back.

"So what can you give us?"

“Ottoman!”

Facing Chen Sen's gaze, Koplulu said in a deep voice.

"All Ottomans, as long as you want, you can get the entire Ottoman without any effort. By then, there will be no Ottomans in the world, only the territory under China!"

Of course, there are some "semi-independent kingdoms" in this territory. They are hereditary officials or local emperors in the semi-independent kingdom. Isn't this better than working for the Sultan? The most important thing is that there are no Ottoman Sultans in the world now.

In fact, it is precisely because of the absence of the Ottoman Sultan that "slaves" like Koprulu need a new master to maintain their power, otherwise they must face the counterattack of Hippasi, and the "Ottomans" will swallow them alive.

In history, this is indeed the case. This guard, which was completely separated from the Sudanese controls after Koplulu, was finally completely cleaned up in the early 19th century with the joint efforts of the Sudan and the Sipahis. After a massacre, the guards disappeared. As for the lords of Sipahis, they joined the new army, became the cavalry of the empire, and became the "Junker" of the Ottomans.

Now, rather than betraying the Ottoman, they are protecting themselves. In order to avoid the liquidation of the Sipahis counterattack, they made the most favorable choice for themselves to find a new master.

A new master means a new opportunity!

Of course, it also means that their power and money have new guarantees.

The whole Ottoman!

At least for a moment, Chen Sen's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and jumped a few times.

What did he say?

The whole Ottoman?

Was he here to discuss surrender?

Staring at Coprulu, Chen Sen asked back.

"Do you want to surrender?"

"General, I think you can understand it as surrender!"

Coplulu replied.

"You're just Big Vizier."

Faced with Chen Sen's doubts, Coplulu replied confidently.

"Yes, I'm just a Great Vizier, but nine out of every ten Pashas in the Ottomans came from the Imperial Guards, General, I think you know the Ottomans. You know, if we all turn to China, at least I can guarantee that the entire Ottoman will surrender to China, and all we need is a promise. As long as you give us a promise, we will hand over the entire empire to you."

In fact, this is true. The so-called "Ottoman Empire" did not exist at all during the Sultan period, only the "Ottoman family"! The entire country is the private property of the Ottoman family. The Turkic green who helped the Ottomans conquer the country was called reaya (animals). The important positions of the country were occupied by Christian slaves. They were all slaves and servants of the Sultan. The founding heroes, Sipahi, could only watch them with eyes.

Now, in order to preserve their glory and wealth, those slaves can do anything, and Coplulu will never have any doubts about this.

"Yeah?"

Chen Sen asked back.

"What if someone objected?"

"Tonight, all Sipahi will die!"

Coprulu's tone seemed calm.

"Their manor, their wives and daughters, their property, their slaves, will all belong to you, generals, and China can get the entire Ottoman without any effort."

Ouch!

A great charity in this world!

Not only did he help the Ming Dynasty kill those Sipahis, but he also gave their property and women to Daming. This is a great thing that a pie fell from the sky!

Is there such a good thing in this world?

"Then what?"

"Then, we will serve China as vassals of China for generations and be loyal to the Chinese emperor!"

Facing Coprulu's oath, Chen Sen said without denying it.

"Now, I cannot give you any reply, but what I can tell you is that we will not attack you until I report to His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness makes a decision. And the Ming Dynasty will never treat anyone who surrenders."

alright!

This is exactly the answer Coplulu needs.

In his opinion, it was natural that Chen Sen did not agree to him at once, because only the prince could determine his fate. What he needed was the Chinese truce, giving him the opportunity to completely solve the Sipaxis before they counterattacked.

In the Ottoman without the Sultan, there can only be one of them who can continue to exist on this land, but it must not be Lord Sipahi.

After each of them took what they needed, Coprulu hurriedly said goodbye. He had more important things to do.

After returning to his position, Qian Lei and others immediately asked.

"Main Town, what did that guy Coprulu say?"

Facing Qian Lei's inquiry, Chen Sen looked at the Turkish positions thoughtfully and said.

"In the next few days, no matter what happens on the opposite side, the troops will not take the initiative to attack. I will go to report something to Your Highness in person!"

"What? What's going on over there?"

Faced with everyone's doubts, Chen Sen said.

"Koplulu wants to do something big!"

"Big thing! What big thing?"

Treason!

Is this a big deal?

Of course, for those lords of Sipahi, they didn't know what happened at all. Although the arrival of Mustafa Koplulu made them feel a little confused, they, who have been away from the center for more than two hundred years, have no concern at all about what happened there, and they even have no direct connection with it.

Because when the high lords were summoned by Coprulu to discuss matters, they were also unaware of the danger. They only thought that they were conducting military deployments as usual. After all, it was their turn now.

"It seems that it's our turn!"

When the Sipashi lords gathered at Pendick Fortress, even though they didn't know what was going on, they saw that the people coming were all officers, and their eyes were full of helplessness.

It's their turn to die.

Azap, the Imperial Guards, the Tatars... Everyone took turns, and now it was their turn. The prophet was to testify, and this was just going to die!

In fact, if it weren't for some Shipahi lords who launched a rebellion ten years ago and were killed by old Koprulu, it would probably be that many of them would have refused to join the Sudan's army in this war, but now it is not as good as before!

It's finally their turn now.

He sighed so much in his heart. Like everyone else, Hasipahsha walked into the lobby and watched his friends sitting there. As soon as he entered, someone said to him.

"Hasipahsha, my friend, what do you think Great Vizier calls us for?"
To be continued...
