The armistice conditions proposed by the Ming Dynasty were delivered to the hands of Sultan Bayezid II of the Ottoman Empire as quickly as possible by the Ottoman Empire.
"No, I will never agree to this agreement."
Bayezid II threw the agreement in his hand to the ground, looking extremely angry.
"We are the Ottoman Empire, the great Ottoman Empire, not the small countries around the Ming Dynasty that they can bully."
"One hundred million taels of silver, even if all the silver in our Ottoman Empire were concentrated, it would not necessarily be 100 million taels."
"The South Caucasus was conquered by successive sultans of the Ottoman Empire bit by bit, but you just opened your mouth and took it all."
Bayezid II was furious, which meant that as long as he took the initiative to seek peace and admit defeat, the Ming Dynasty would not go too far. After all, the Ottoman Empire was not an ordinary small country. After all, the Ottoman Empire still had hundreds of thousands of people in its hands.
Army.
But who knew that the conditions proposed by the Ming Dynasty would be so harsh, including land cession, compensation, the right to freely pass through the Bosporus, and exemption from taxes.
Such a treaty is simply a treaty that is humiliating and humiliating the country.
Bayezid II's own bottom line is to admit defeat to the Ming Dynasty, pay some symbolic war compensation, and then cede some land symbolically.
He has even planned that after the internal and external troubles are resolved, he will organize his army to cause trouble for the Ming Dynasty and get back everything he lost today.
Who would have thought that the Ming Dynasty would actually propose such harsh conditions for a truce? Compared with the European bandits, the Ming Dynasty people were even more greedy.
Bayezid II got furious and smashed several beloved things to pieces. Then he slowly stopped and asked someone to pick up the agreement again. He read it carefully and said after studying it.
"First, capture all those who have escaped. Deserters should die on the battlefield."
"In addition, send people to various places to retrieve all the Ming people who were sold as slaves."
After getting angry, he still got angry, and after calming down, he still asked people to get ready first.
"Tell the Grand Vizier that my bottom line is to compensate the Ming people for ten million taels of silver and cede the southeast high-speed acceleration area. Apart from that, I can agree to the first and second items, but I cannot agree to other conditions.
"
After saying this, Bayezid also became thoughtful.
I really regret that I should not have provoked these Ming people in the first place, leading to the current precarious situation.
The Crimean Khanate in the north has officially rebelled and no longer surrenders to the Ottoman Empire. Even the Tatar cavalry is attacking the Ottoman Empire.
On the Balkan Peninsula, the European knights were marching eastward with cross flags held high, and there were waves of messengers urging them to send troops for support. The situation was already quite dangerous. If they were not careful, the European knights might have to recapture them.
of Constantinople.
The Middle East and North Africa also began to seek independence. A large number of officials appointed by the Ottoman Empire were killed, and local tribal leaders proclaimed themselves kings.
The fleet of the Republic of Venice attacked the Ottoman Empire's city in the Aegean Sea, taking the opportunity to regain everything lost in the Battle of Zonzio.
The only good news is that in Baghdad, his army almost wiped out all 50,000 Persian troops, severely damaged the Persians, and even took advantage of the situation to attack the Persian plateau.
Within the Ottoman Empire, due to the successive defeats and the severe situation it faced, Bayezid II's prestige dropped drastically. Several leaders of large tribes among the Turks, as well as the great nobles of the Ottoman Empire, seemed to have a disapproval of him.
Not so loyal anymore.
This made him feel very uneasy. If the situation worsened, they might kill him and replace him with someone else.
"Ming Empire!"
After pondering for a long time, he looked at the huge map, looking eastward and seeing the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Bayezid II's order soon reached Ali Pasha.
"General, our great Sultan has said that we can agree to your first and second terms, and also cede part of the South Caucasus to the Ming Dynasty, but only in the eastern area, which is the west coast of the Khazar Sea."
"In addition, I will compensate your country 10 million silver. Apart from this, our Ottoman Empire will not agree to any more conditions."
Ali Pasha found Yang Yun again and conveyed the meaning of Bayezid II, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire.
"I'm a soldier, not a businessman, and I'm not here to do business with you. I can still bargain."
"Since you don't agree to our conditions, let's continue fighting."
Yang Yun looked at the other party and already guessed in his heart that the other party would not just sign the alliance under the city.
"It seems that we still need to continue to use troops against them and annihilate some of their troops, otherwise they will not be obedient."
Yang Yun has already made up his mind. His 200,000 troops have been rested. The South Caucasus has been plowed and some tribes in the South Caucasus have been cleared. The three Georgian kingdoms have also been cleared.
Now that it has been destroyed, the Ottoman Empire can continue to use its troops.
"General, I think you already know what happened in Baghdad. Our Ottoman Empire annihilated 50,000 Persian troops."
Hearing Yang Yun's words, Ali Pasha's heart skipped a beat. This city of Erzinjan is the gateway to Istanbul. The army can march straight in. If they continue to attack, the Ottoman Empire has dispatched a large number of troops to all directions. What will they do?
withstand?
So after thinking about it, he still tried his best to express the power of the Ottoman Empire. Our Ottoman Empire is still powerful, and we are not at your mercy.
"Of course I know~"
"Ismailidu has already arrived in the city of Erzinjan. He gave me a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, as well as dozens of beauties, and suggested that I continue to move westward."
"I think his proposal is very good. I heard that your Sultan is an outstanding military strategist. I am also looking forward to fighting with him."
Yang Yun smiled and nodded, unmoved at all.
"General, please give us some time to think about it again, think about it."
Ali Pasha wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It would be really bad if the Persians formed an alliance with the Ming people. Then the Ming army would clear the way in front and the Persians would take advantage from behind. The entire Ottoman Empire would be destroyed.
Swallowed by the Persians.
"Then you have to think carefully~"
Yang Yun smiled.
When Ali Pasha left, he immediately ordered Huo Ying: "Immediately lead 50,000 cavalry south to the Persian Plateau and annihilate this Ottoman army."
"If we don't give them any clue, they will think we are Persians."
"Yes~"
Huo Ying smiled and nodded quickly, quickly ordering his troops to go south.
…
On the other side, in the Sea of Marmara, a huge fleet is marching from south to north, heading towards the narrow Bosporus Strait.
"Jiang Liang, Monkey, take a look at the armistice conditions proposed above."
Tian Erniu handed a document to Jiang Liang and Zhao Houhou, which had just been sent all the way from the mainland of Ming Dynasty.
The war has been fought so far, and the initial goal has basically been achieved. Next is the time to harvest the fruits. The Ming Dynasty has also drafted an armistice agreement and conveyed it to Yang Yun and Tian Erniu respectively.
"The conditions are very harsh. Can the Ottoman Empire agree?"
Jiang Liang read it carefully and couldn't help but say.
"I will definitely not agree. This skinny camel is bigger than a horse. What's more, the Ottoman Empire has not yet been destroyed and still has hundreds of thousands of troops. I will definitely not agree to these conditions."
"So it's up to us next. The Australian Duke is busy seizing the South Caucasus. We are the only ones who can deal a heavy blow to the Ottoman Empire now."
"We just happened to reach the Sea of Marmara and will soon arrive in Istanbul."
Tian Erniu smiled and said: "After bombarding Istanbul, we will have to enter the Black Sea. By then, we will probably have to detach some ships to station in the Black Sea."
"In just a few years, our Ming Dynasty's territory has expanded to the Black Sea. From now on, we can go to Europe by land."
Tian Erniu couldn't help but sigh, the changes were really too fast.
In just a few years, the Ming Dynasty underwent earth-shaking changes. Its territory expanded again and again, and even expanded to the Black Sea, completely opening up the land road to Europe.
"Yeah, it's changed so much~"
"I haven't been back to Ming Dynasty for a few years, and I don't know what Tianjin has become."
Jiang Liang looked ahead and sighed.
"Dang Dang~Dang~"
Just then, the lookout on the mast sounded the alarm.
“Istanbul~”
When everyone heard this, they quickly picked up their binoculars and looked ahead.
At the end of the vast mist, a huge land mass appeared in view. There was a narrow passage in the middle of the land. This passage was the famous Bosporus, the passage connecting the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea.
On the left bank of the strait, a huge city stands on the ground. This city is huge. Although it cannot be compared with Tianjin and Beijing in the Ming Dynasty, it is still one of the few big cities in the world at this time.
The buildings built on the mountain are stacked one after another. The tall buildings are like giants standing on the mountain overlooking the entire land and ocean. They are so majestic that people can't help but admire them.
"It is indeed one of the famous cities in history. It is really majestic!"
Tian Erniu looked at the huge city in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in admiration. He traveled all over the country and visited too many places, but he rarely saw such a majestic and spectacular city.
"Send the order to bombard Istanbul and flatten all the large buildings you can see here!"
However, this does not prevent Tian Erniu from carrying out his mission.
Soon, one warship after another formed a formation on the sea, and the Miyun cannons began to roar.
