Erzinzhan City, with the signing of the armistice agreement, the entire Erzinzhan City also became more relaxed. One hundred thousand troops were sent by Yang Yun to station in various important places in the South Caucasus to eliminate elements that opposed the rule of the Ming Dynasty and set up
Nanyun Province was divided into prefectures and counties, and officials were appointed to find out the situation in Nanyun Province and consolidate Ming Dynasty's rule here.
The reason why it was named Nanyun Province was mainly because the South Caucasus region is mountainous, and the mountainous areas are full of water vapor, shrouded in clouds and mist, and have waterfalls and springs. Therefore, Yang Yun also renamed this place Nanyun Province, which is divided into thirteen states and seventy-two states.
county.
One hundred thousand troops went to Nanyun Province, and the remaining one hundred thousand were still stationed in Erzincan City. The purpose was naturally to continue to deter the Ottoman Empire and urge the Ottoman Empire to implement the signed armistice agreement.
Well, at least until the Ottoman Empire pays the first installment of 40 million taels of war compensation, the Ming Dynasty will not withdraw its troops and will always maintain sufficient deterrence to the Ottoman Empire.
Because the war ceased, the 100,000 troops stationed in Erzinjan City were also ordered to take a vacation and were free to rest and recuperate near Erzinjan City for a period of time.
The entire city of Erzincan was filled with a relaxed and joyful atmosphere, and the war was won again.
The topic that everyone discusses the most is the rewards that everyone can get next.
This time, they attacked the city and looted hundreds of cities along the way. From Erzinjan to the east, almost all the cities were looted, and a large amount of finance was obtained, which was a huge income.
The second is the Ottoman Empire's war compensation, 100 million taels of silver. According to the Ming Dynasty's system, all soldiers participating in this battle can share 30%, which means that there are 30 million taels of silver for the 200,000 troops to divide, on average
In total, there are almost more than one hundred taels of silver.
More than one hundred taels of silver may not sound like much, but in this era it is definitely a huge amount. It may seem ordinary in the Beijing-Tianjin area, but anywhere else, it is a huge amount of money.
There are also the most important rewards of land, slaves, cattle, sheep and horses.
The Nanyun Province gained in this war has a very large area, a very good climate, fertile land, no desert areas, and very beautiful scenery.
According to past traditions, the soldiers participating this time, even if they have no merit, can get hundreds of acres of land. If they kill the enemy with merit, they can get hundreds of acres of land, pastures, etc.
of.
Basically, these imperial courts would not ask for the large amounts of cattle and sheep that were seized, because cattle and sheep were different from ordinary property. They were usually distributed to meritorious soldiers, and they could also stimulate agricultural development in the areas that were included in the territory.
There are also slaves. Although this time they came to retaliate against the Ottoman Empire, and they did massacre many cities, but after they were angry, they still captured a large number of slaves. The number was very large, with millions of slaves in their hands.
In the hands of the army.
Adults were basically transported to the Indian Ocean through Persia, and then sold to slave traders in the Indian Ocean. Colonies were now blooming all over the Indian Ocean, and the demand for slaves was very strong.
The price of an adult slave has also risen to nearly sixty taels of silver, and there are not enough slaves to sell. This is why later on, civilians are no longer slaughtered, because these are money.
This is also a considerable income, and eventually these soldiers will also have money to share.
As for women and children, although they are not as valuable as adult men, as long as they are beautiful, they are still very popular, but priority will be given to the soldiers of the Western Expedition.
After all, everyone will have land in Nanyun Province in the future, and these lands also need people to manage them. It is naturally best to have some slaves.
A war that made everyone in Ming Dynasty like it.
The emperor of Ming Dynasty, the court of Ming Dynasty, and the upper-level rulers of Ming Dynasty can all obtain huge benefits from it. The soldiers of the Western Expedition not only made great achievements, but many people will definitely be knighted and promoted. Everyone can make a fortune, and naturally everyone is happy.
Naturally, all of the Western Expedition soldiers in Erzinjan City had smiles on their faces. Some of them even couldn't wait to go to Nanyun Province to investigate, so that they could choose some places they liked.
As for Yang Yun, the Duke of Australia, he was originally in a good mood. After the war, he was ready to go back to Ming Dynasty and live a leisurely life.
But Ismail I of the Persian Empire came to the door extremely angry.
"Your Majesty General, why did your Ming Dynasty sign an armistice agreement with the Persian Empire and the Ottoman Empire behind our backs?"
Ismayina was so angry that the Persian Empire worked hard to transport grain, weapons and ammunition for the Ming army, help transport slaves, guard the rear, etc., and also sent troops to contain the Ottoman Empire. For this reason, they even sent 50,000 soldiers.
The human army is gone.
Now I'm fine. When I eat meat, I don't even have my own share. The people of Ming Dynasty are so uninterested. They don't even have the intention to inform themselves, and they don't even have the intention to drink some soup for themselves.
"Carrying you?"
When Yang Yun heard this, he was slightly shocked. He looked at each other with Huo Ying, Liao Yuan and others beside him, smiled and said, "Why do you say I'm carrying you?"
"It seems that our Ming Dynasty and your Ottoman Empire are not allies, right?"
"Although you are not allies, but you were able to win, is there any credit for the efforts of us Persians? We transported grain and grass to you and cleared the rear. There is no credit for this?"
"Even if they are not allies, shouldn't they still talk to us during the peace talks and armistice?"
Ismail I said righteously.
"The help of you Persians is indeed indispensable here, and I must admit this."
"But you Persians have also benefited from it. My army is advancing in the front, and you are sweeping in the rear. Has the territory that previously fell into the Ottoman Empire returned to the hands of you Persians?"
"In addition, our Ming Dynasty attacked the Ottoman Empire and wiped out the Ottoman Empire's 550,000 troops. It dealt a heavy blow to the power of the Ottoman Empire and greatly reduced their strength. Did it also reduce the pressure on your Persian Empire?"
"Without us, can you take Baghdad? Can you take Mesopotamia?"
Yang Yun smiled and then asked directly.
"Don't be too greedy~"
"You Persians have received enough benefits."
"Of course, if you feel that the benefits you have received are not enough, you can make your own demands to the Ottoman Empire alone. As long as the Ottoman Empire agrees, I have no objection at all."
After Yang Yun finished speaking, he looked at each other and smiled with Huo Ying and Liao Yuan.
Want to eat farts?
My Ming Dynasty can eat meat, but it is meat that I eat based on my ability.
If you Persians want to eat meat, you can go and defeat the Ottoman Empire yourself. You can eat whatever you want. Just beep a hammer here.
"this…"
Ismail I immediately frowned.
Yang Yun is right. The Persian Empire has also gained huge benefits from this war.
The army that followed the Ming Dynasty recovered a lot of previously lost territory, and also took advantage of the situation to capture Baghdad and occupy the Mesopotamia. The most important thing is that the strength of the Ottoman Empire was weakened, which greatly reduced the pressure on the Persian Empire, which was important for its future unification of the world.
Persia is very advantageous.
"General, this is wrong."
"We, Persia, were friendly with the Ming Dynasty. Although it is not an alliance, it is closer than an alliance. When the Ming Dynasty signs an armistice agreement with the Ottoman Empire, it must bring our Persian Empire with it no matter what."
Charland thought for a moment and said.
If Persia negotiated alone with the Ottoman Empire, it would probably not get any benefits.
The Ottoman Empire was afraid of the Ming Dynasty, but it was definitely not afraid of the Persians. If Persia wanted to benefit from it, it would naturally have to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty.
As for trying to pry something out of the Ming Dynasty, there is no possibility at all, at least it seems so now. The Ming Dynasty people are also greedy. They got the South Caucasus in one war and asked the Ottoman Empire to compensate
One hundred million taels of silver.
But looking at Ming Dynasty eating meat and making his mouth water, this is obviously not acceptable. In any case, Persia also wants a share of the pie.
"I'm afraid this won't work. We have signed an armistice agreement with the Ottoman Empire, and the agreement has been shipped back to the Ming Dynasty. If you had told me earlier, I could consider it."
Yang Yun thought for a while and shook his head.
"Can the general be a mediator and help mediate the relationship between Persia and the Ottoman Empire? Well, to put it simply, when we are negotiating peace with the Ottoman Empire, can you help?"
When Charland heard this, he thought about it and suggested again.
The Persian Empire does not want to go to war with the Ottoman Empire now. The Ming Dynasty has already ceased war with the Ottoman Empire, which means that the Ottoman Empire can devote its most elite troops to the battlefields in all directions.
The Persian Empire did not want to go to war with the Ottoman Empire alone. The scars from the destruction of 50,000 troops were still aching. If the war continued, the Ottoman Empire might reach the Persian Plateau and lose everything it gained.
Therefore, the wise choice is to accept it as soon as possible. While the Ming army is still around and the relationship is not bad, let Ming make a name for himself and help, and take advantage of the benefits.
"this…"
After hearing this, Yang Yun seemed a little embarrassed.
"I heard that the general likes swords, so I found a few swords that can cut iron as well as clay. There are also a dozen beauties presented to the general. As for gold, silver and jewelry, they are definitely indispensable."
"Our requirements are not high, we just hope that the general can show up."
Seeing Yang Yun's hesitation, Challand immediately spoke.
"Okay then~ I will help mediate, but whether it succeeds or not depends on the outcome of the negotiation between you two."
