The moment the wooden barrel was smashed, the black thing flowed out and flowed along the stone slab. After a while, it lay all over the floor.

Smelling the smell of the air, everyone opened their eyes wide in horror.

It's oil!

"Great Vizier, you, what are you doing?"

"Yes, Great Vizier, say it well, say it well..."

For a moment, everyone in the house persuaded Vizier one after another, and at the same time they kept showing their loyalty.

Assassination of the Sultan?

They did have such thoughts, but... that's just thinking about it. If they really do it, they really don't have the courage. After all, for two hundred years, they have long been used to the Sultan being the shadow of Allah on earth. For the deification of Ottoman and his descendants, the empire is the ruler of Ottoman "the kingdom of heaven" and the only spokesperson of the only God on earth.

At most they just wanted to change to a Sudan...

But the news brought by Vizier now scared them. Some people dared to collude with the Chinese to assassinate the Sudan. This was done... beautifully.

But the problem is, if you want to do it, you must succeed! Now, it will drag down the big guy if you fail. Look at what you do... it's not very authentic. You can't drag down the big guy.

Of course, these thoughts are just thinking in the heart, but they are constantly showing loyalty, and even constantly swearing to Allah that they have never participated in it...at most they just think about it, and this is not a deception to the prophet!

After all, thinking and doing are completely different things.

"We are slaves of the Sultan, we do not protect the traitors, the enemy of the Sultan is our enemy..."

Just like their ancestors, they all stood there and made similar vows.

But even so, Vizier still sat there, letting the soldiers pour buckets of oil into the room. After a while, everyone's feet were covered with oil. They were all scared and their faces were pale, but they did not dare to move at all. Vizier shouldn't want to die with them!

No, no... He must have wanted to scare everyone.

It is precisely because they were thinking so that they stood here honestly. Some of them even thought that this was just a means by Vizier, but they just wanted those among them to take the initiative to call it out.

That's right, it must be that. Their family is full of tricky guys.

But who did this? If it was you, you can stand up and recognize it yourself. Why should you drag down everyone?

"Whoever colludes with the Chinese knows in your heart!"

Standing up, Ahmed Coprulu was pacing and looking at them, his eyes as if they were looking at them, as if they wanted to see their thoughts from their eyes. In the face of his eyes, everyone faced him with calm eyes as much as possible, so as not to arouse his suspicion.

"Now, I will give you one last chance. If you confess, I promise to kill only you and will never hurt your family..."

Only ghosts will believe this and not hurt your family? Is it possible? Is there such a good thing in this country?

"But if you don't say anything, then, in order to protect the Sultan, I and you will all die here today, and we all die here..."

What!

What did he say?

Just when everyone was surprised, Ahmed Coprulu, who had already reached the door, stood at the door and shouted.

"Pals!"

Everyone turned their eyes to the man. As everyone was gaze, Pars walked out. He walked to Great Vizier in panic and explained loudly.

"Great Vizier, I swear to Allah that I am absolutely not involved in this."

He looked at him seriously and looked at him for a long time. Ahmed Koprulu nodded.

"I believe in you, you go out!"

In an instant, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It's that simple?

Everyone who was worried was finally relieved, after all, they really didn't do it!

You can't wrongly accuse a good person!

Just as they breathed a sigh of relief and put down the last trace of vigilance in their hearts, the guards next to the door suddenly closed the door.

What's going on?

At least for a moment, they didn't react, and even saw a torch thrown into the house.

"Great Vizier...ah, fire, fire...help..."

The moment the door closed, the torch that fell on the ground ignited the oil on the ground. The fire instantly swallowed everything in the room. The great lords of Sipahi screamed in horror and cried in the fire. They slapped the wood desperately, and then... gradually disappeared.

...

"All dead?"

"Everything is dead, Pals is killed too!"

Kuchuk's answer made Ahmed Koprulu nod. The reason why he let the guy go was simply to reduce everyone's vigilance. Things were as he expected and were implemented very smoothly. Then he said.

"Let the Tatar cavalry attack Sipahi's camp tonight, remember, don't let anyone go!"

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

Ahmed Koprulu sent the Tatars who only asked about military pay and not other Tatars to sweep the Sipahis camp. In a castle a hundred miles away, listening to Chen Sen's story, Zhu Heyu was silent for a long time before saying.

"Originally, I thought there would be a big battle between us and the Turks!"

But who would have thought that such a result would be?

"Your Highness, as Ahmed Koprulu said, even if we defeated them here, we will attack Albania, the Balkans, and Bulgaria. Although there are rebellions everywhere in those places now, are they willing to surrender to us? Perhaps their nobles are more willing to replace the Turks than to see us replace the Turks."

Chen Sen took the initiative to act as a lobbyist for Ahmed Coprulu.

“What Ahmed Koplulu said is the truth!”

Zhu Heyu nodded and said.

"The title of Ottoman Sultan is... "Pardisha of the Ottoman and all nations, the greatest sultan and the noble Khan, the owner of the necks of the subjects, the servants of the two holy cities of Mecca and Medina, the shadow of Allah in the world, the Romans among the two continents and two oceans, the Arabs and the Persians, etc. "But no one of these people was truly surrendered to him. Their rebellion seemed to have helped us, but in fact, it also brought us a new crisis. How to make the rebels surrender to us. Now their uprising is just beginning, and each move is

The actual control of the province is still in the hands of the Ottomans. If Ahmed Koprulu surrenders, the Pashas in those provinces are willing to surrender, then we only need to send a small number of troops to take over, and then implement our policies to exempt the captive tax from pacifying the rebels. At least the insurers who have caused the rebels have not yet formed a real interest group. Compared with the regime, what they desire more is fairness. We only need to give them fairness and they will surrender to us. From this point of view, it doesn’t matter to promise Ahmed Koprulu’s conditions.”

Although he had long been inclined to agree to Ahmed Coprulu, Chen Sen still said with some concern.

"Promise Ahmed Koprulu is the best choice to guarantee our interests, but His Highness, Ahmed Koprulu are Greens after all. In their eyes, we are just heresy. They surrender now for their own glory and wealth. Will they rebel against us in the future?"

After thinking about it, Chen Sen said again.

"Your Highness, as far as I know, in the history of the Ottoman, the rebels were either Christians or Turks themselves, but officials and generals from Christian slaves, such as Ahmed Koprulu, never betrayed the Sultan. They were extremely loyal to the Ottoman."

"They are loyal, but only on the surface! They are just "converted fanaticism"!"

Zhu Heyu waved his hand and said.

"The father once said that among the Green Cultists, there is an extremely special phenomenon, which is the so-called "converted fanaticism", which is difficult for us to understand. But we can understand it from another perspective. For example, traitors are more fierce than Tartars because in order to express their piety to their masters, they can show madness that people cannot imagine. Just like during the Mongolian eradication of the Song Dynasty, many of the people who acted as pioneers of the Song Dynasty were Han people. But that was when their masters were dominant, and when their masters turned to disadvantages, they would immediately abandon their masters..."

Just as His Majesty said, Chen Sen didn't quite understand what "returner fanaticism" was, but when he described it as a traitor, he immediately understood that it was not the case. When those traitors helped the evildoers to abuse the foreign race, they were more cruel and wanted to kill all the Han people, but if the master was defeated, they would immediately shake their tails and beg their mercy and betray their master.

loyalty?

Those traitors have no loyalty!

"Why did they betray their faith as slaves of Christ? To put it bluntly, it is because of interests, because of the capitation tax, because they can be promoted and made a fortune, and enjoy all their glory and wealth. Therefore, they are willing to betray their faith and nation. The more such a person is, the more they cherish their glory and wealth. To be honest, compared to those who are loyal to their own nation, Chen Sen, like Koprulu, is the person we need the most! After all, for them, everything in the world is not as good as glory and wealth."

After sighing like this, Zhu Heyu smiled.

"As for loyalty? When the Ottomans were strong, they were loyal, like loyal dogs, but now? As long as we are strong enough, they will definitely be loyal dogs of the Ming Dynasty! As long as the Ming Dynasty can guarantee their glory and wealth, they will be willing to be the Ming Dynasty dogs!"

After saying that, he sneered again.

"However, it is not that easy to be a dog of the Ming Dynasty. When you go back, tell them that if they want to be a dog of the Ming Dynasty, they must learn Sinology, obey Han rituals, and believe in Confucianism. As for their beliefs... they must change their sects, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, there is no problem even if they change back to Christ."

Will those people change their faith?

meeting!

There is no doubt that they will not only change their faith, but they will also become the first group of people who have fully Chineseized in this territory in the future, because their past has long taught them how to survive and compromise. With their help, this land will inevitably be further Chineseized in the near future.

Perhaps in one or two hundred years, this place will no longer be Rome in Europe, but Rome in China.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will tell them your Highness's decision!"

Chen Sen said again.

"Your Highness doesn't seem to care about how to deal with Sultan Muhammad IV."

"He is dead!"

His Highness's words surprised Chen Sen.

"He's dead?"

"If you only steal from the Lord... If you only steal from the Lord, will Koprulu and others give in to the entire Ottoman? If you are as expected, it must be that the Sultan is extremely dissatisfied with his unrest. Koprulu took action first, and then there is now!"

Koprulu actually dared to kill the regicide!

Looking at Chen Sen's surprised look, Zhu Heyu smiled.

"Don't think that Koprulu and others dare not do it. Since they dare to sell the entire country to us, there is something they dare not do. Even the reason why they killed all Sipashi and handed over their estates to us was to blame the charge of regicide on Sipashi. As for us, in the eyes of outsiders, we are probably still Sipashi's accomplices..."

"Your Highness, this Koprulu wants us to take the blame!"

Zhu Heyu just smiled at Chen Sen's words, then waved his hand and said,

"If you want to eat meat, you have to get some fishy on your hands. Even if the Ottoman Sultan falls into our hands, it will be impossible for him to survive. In fact, if there are more wise people in this world like Koprulu, why not worry about not being able to fulfill his father's wish!"

What is the father’s wish?

Of course, is it the kingly land under the world!

But this world is really too big, and it is beyond the imagination of the world. Once upon a time, for the kings and people of the Ming Dynasty, the world was nothing more than the Ming Dynasty. Now, with the expansion of overseas growth and communication with the European world, everyone knows that this world is beyond their imagination.

Facing such a vast world, what kind of thoughts will people have?

Is there a king's land under the world?

This sentence is simple, but it is extremely difficult to make it a reality, and it will take at least several generations of management.

And now the Ming Dynasty's strategy to Europe has just begun.

Finally, his eyes turned to the distance again, and he muttered to himself.
Chapter completed!
