"The Ming Dynasty and the Ottoman Empire signed the Armistice Agreement of Stanbul. The Ottoman Empire ceded the land east of Erzinjan City to the Ming Dynasty and compensated the Ming Dynasty 200 million taels of silver!"
"Good news, good news~"
"Our tomorrow's army bombarded the capital of the Ottoman Empire, and the Ottoman Empire knelt down and begged for peace."
The next day, as the morning sun rose, in the streets and alleys of the capital, newsboys rode bicycles and kept shouting. Without exception, they were all promoting the victory of the Tomorrow Army against the Ottoman Empire.
This matter was undoubtedly an important event for the Ming Empire.
The Ottoman Empire went back on its promise and violated the original contract. In addition, the newspaper mentioned the fact that the Ottoman Empire coveted the rich Transoxiana region and massacred several immigrant towns in the Transoxiana region.
This aroused the anger of the Ming Dynasty people, and they expected the Ming Dynasty army to severely repair the Ottoman Empire.
The Ming army did not disappoint everyone. Several armies swept across the Ottoman Empire, annihilated the Ottoman Navy, severely damaged the Ottoman Army, annihilated nearly 400,000 Ottoman troops, and directly reached the capital of the Ottoman Empire.
Now the good news has come, the Ottoman Empire has to kneel down and beg for peace with the Ming Empire, ceding territory and paying compensation. The key is that it will lose its sovereignty in the future.
The Ming army could garrison the Strait of Instanbul, which meant that it was like a steel needle being stabbed into the heart of the Ottoman Empire.
Next to it is the capital of the Ottoman Empire and the Instanbul Strait (later Turkish Strait, Black Sea Strait, Bosporus Strait), which controls the heart of the Ottoman Empire and this important strait.
In addition, the city of Erzinjan was ceded to the Ming Empire. From then on, the Ottoman Empire's capital had no natural dangers for the Ming people to defend, and it would be easy to defeat them.
The war compensation of 200 million taels of silver can be calculated to give each Ming Dynasty one tael of silver. It is undoubtedly a huge wealth. The purchasing power of silver is still leveraged. One tael of silver is equal to 1,000 wen, which can buy hundreds of
Kilograms of grain.
Along with newspaper reports, the news spread quickly throughout the Ming Dynasty. The use of telegraphs allowed the news to be delivered to every place in the Ming Dynasty as quickly as possible.
In every city, people began to set off fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate another great victory of the Ming Dynasty and to celebrate that the great Ming Empire once again expanded its territory.
People in the streets and alleys and in teahouses and restaurants are also excitedly discussing this matter.
"The Ottoman Empire just won several external victories in succession. They thought they were great and thought they could provoke our Ming Empire."
"Forget about not allowing our Ming merchants to trade freely, and deliberately delaying the payment of war reparations. This is just looking for abuse, and it is also provoking the bottom line of our Ming Dynasty."
"You really think that our Ming Dynasty is Persia, or even Egypt, and those countries in Europe think that they can defeat us Ming Dynasty people with the arms and weapons we sell to them. They are so naive!"
"That's right, you got beaten up by us this time. Now you should know the gap with our Ming Empire, and don't look at how much you weigh."
"The Ottoman Empire should be severely beaten for such dishonest words, let them know how powerful we Ming people are, and then they will not dare to provoke us Ming people again."
"This time they should be able to remember it, and they should also know how powerful our Ming Dynasty is, and they will never dare to provoke us Ming Dynasty people again."
"Of course I don't dare. The cost of provoking us Ming people is too high. I'm afraid they won't dare to do it again."
"Haha, I have taught the Ottoman Empire a lesson. People in other countries should be honest. Otherwise, if the Ottoman Empire does not pay our war reparations, other countries will follow suit."
"Yes, that's it. Benevolence, righteousness and morality are for our own people. For these barbarians from all over the world, they don't know the education and etiquette. We should use muskets and cannons to let them understand the principles of life."
"That's right, it's useless to reason with them. Only with fists will they listen to us."
"..."
In the palace of the Japanese king of Japan, Dongfang Shengren, the Japanese king, looked at the latest Daming Daily and slowly put down the newspaper for a long time.
"The Ming Empire is still as powerful as ever."
"The Ottoman Empire delayed the payment of war reparations just because of a trivial matter, and then the Ming Dynasty's army attacked them. It was a direct attack, and they lost their temper. After signing such a treaty, the Ottoman Empire will basically be in power from now on.
It will take at least a hundred years of turmoil and suffering."
Dongfang Shengren couldn't help but shake his head, the Ming people had such a hot temper.
It is impossible to provoke him at all. It is estimated that the people of Ming Dynasty are eager for someone to provoke them. They can train their troops, check their weapons and equipment and combat effectiveness, and they can establish their majesty around the world, and they can also get a huge sum of money.
war reparations.
The war compensation of 200 million taels of silver is such a huge number. Now the tax money that the Japanese country can receive in a year is only about 30 million taels of silver.
This was due to the fact that Japan and the Ming Dynasty were very close to each other, and the business and trade of Japan developed extremely rapidly.
Even less money was allocated to Dongfang Shengren. The shogun controlled half of the land and areas of the Japanese kingdom, and the Japanese king relied on the support of several powerful daimyo.
Although life is better than before, Dongfang Shengren does not really have much power and wealth in his hands. When he saw the figure of 200 million taels of silver, his eyes were red.
"Can we try to have a fight with the Ottoman Empire? If we can win, instead of asking for 200 million taels of silver, we can ask the Ottoman Empire to compensate us with 20 million taels of silver. Then we can make a lot of money."
Dongfang Shengren thought for a while and discussed with the daimyo beside him.
"Will this work?"
Nanichiro's eyes lit up slightly and he said.
He is a Kyushu daimyo. His previous surname was Shimazu. Later, with the comprehensive Ming transformation in Japan, he also changed his surname to Nan.
"Whether it works or not, you will know if you give it a try. Anyway, the Ottoman Empire's navy has been completely destroyed. We will find out if we can send battleships over and try it. We don't have to worry about any losses."
"You can try it. Maybe you can find an opportunity to tear some meat off the Ottoman Empire. It is now a toothless tiger with only meat left."
The other daimyo thought for a while and expressed their agreement.
Following the Ming Dynasty in these years, the Japanese country has also gained a lot of benefits and tasted the sweetness. Now it is a bloodthirsty wolf, and it will naturally not miss the opportunity to eat meat.
.....
In the palace of Tabriz in Persia, Yinsmayi I had also received the latest intelligence information. The Ottoman Empire and the Ming Dynasty had reached an armistice agreement.
"The Ming Empire is really too powerful."
"There were only 200,000 troops. They were divided into two groups and attacked the Ottoman Empire from east to west. In just half a month, the Ming people had already reached the capital of the Ottoman Empire, forcing the Ottoman Empire to attack the Ming Dynasty.
People knelt down and begged for mercy.”
"Tsk, tsk, ceding so much land, paying compensation of 200 million taels of silver, and stationing troops in the Instanbul Strait, the Ottoman Empire is afraid of being beaten by the Ming Dynasty."
Yinsmayi I sighed repeatedly.
Only by fighting against the Ottoman Empire can we know that it is not that the Ottoman Empire is weak, but that the Ming Dynasty is too strong.
The Ottoman Empire only needed tens of thousands of troops to compete with the Persians and Egyptians for the two river basins. The Persian and Egyptian coalition forces were defeated and lost cities and territory.
However, in the face of the powerful Ming Empire, even though it had absolute military superiority and geographical advantage, it was still defeated by the Ming people, suffered heavy losses, and had to kneel down to sue for peace.
This is enough to show how powerful and terrifying the Ming people are, they are really too powerful.
The Persians feel this most deeply.
The Persians and the Ottoman Empire were feuding and had fought countless wars. However, they almost always won less and lost more, and suffered countless losses and lessons.
In front of the Ottoman Empire, the Persians were really suppressed and beaten, just like younger brothers.
But in front of the Ming Empire, the Ottoman Empire is its younger brother. The Ottoman Empire was severely injured in the war more than ten years ago. This time, it beat the Ottoman Empire violently. Every time it sent fewer troops than the Ottoman Empire, it still beat the Ottoman Empire.
The empire has no temper, this is the Ming Empire.
"It's impossible not to kneel down and beg for mercy."
"It is said that the Ming Empire's army dispatched thousands of artillery pieces and poured hundreds of thousands of artillery shells into Instanbul, directly razing the capital of the Ottoman Empire to the ground."
"If we don't kneel down and beg for peace, the Ming people probably won't mind destroying the Ottoman Empire."
Charland said with a smile.
The Persians knew about the Ming army's bombardment of the Ottoman capital, and Persia also had spies in the Ottoman capital.
"When will we in Persia be as powerful as the Ming Empire?"
"We can't compete with a small Spain even if we join hands with the Koreans, and we can't compete with the Ottoman Empire for the two river basins if we join hands with the Egyptians."
Yinsmayi I let out a long sigh. Only when he truly feels the power of the Ming Empire can he realize how weak he is.
"Your Majesty will not be discouraged. As long as we continue to learn from the Ming Empire and build a strong musketeer force, we will one day be as powerful as the Ming people."
Challand quickly comforted him.
There have indeed been too many troubles in the Persian Empire recently. In West Africa, the navy that was finally built was wiped out by the Spaniards, and the expanded colonies were taken away.
The Mesopotamia was taken back by the Ottoman Empire. If the Ming Dynasty hadn't attacked the Ottoman Empire this time and they took the opportunity to take it back, it would have been too difficult to take it back.
"I hope so~"
Yin Simayi I said calmly, he always felt that it seemed that the Ming Dynasty's army was not the way to build an army. What they learned was only superficial, without its spirit.
The army of the Ming Dynasty swept across all directions, but the Persian army was beaten repeatedly. The gap was too big. I always felt that there was a problem, but I could never find the problem.
It seems that we should comprehensively study the talents of the Ming Dynasty, but Persia is not the Ming Dynasty. It has a different situation and many things cannot be learned.
