Three thousand troops, disguised as several caravans from Longyan. Needless to say, other goods and the like are abundant in the land of India today.
Nowadays, the Dragon Flame Caravan is the most popular presence wherever it goes.
Generally speaking, there are people waiting for them in the trading town before they arrive.
Coupled with the protection of the East India Company, Longyan merchants are still very safe walking in this desert.
Three thousand people.
Divide into zeros.
One hundred people per caravan, a total of thirty teams, set off from thirty directions. This time, they mainly played the role of salt merchants. The entire Ottoman Empire was very short of salt. For those from Long Yan,
Salt merchants, they are just looking forward to it.

A few more days.
Istanbul.
Liu Zheng's letter to Hamid came late, but it was enough to make Hamid extremely excited.
Idol!
A letter came from his idol! When he wrote to Liu Zheng, he never thought that he would actually reply to him! This kind of feeling was beyond mention.
The messenger was a child.
He quickly disappeared into the crowd.
After the old housekeeper handed the letter to Hamid, he waited quietly beside him.
Hamid opened the letter with almost trembling hands.
reform.
When he saw the content of the letter, he was unbearably excited again.
really!
Even his idol is saying that only reform can save the Ottomans! Only reform can restore the glory of the Ottomans.
"mutiny?"
When he saw the back, Hamid's face changed slightly.
mutiny......
Yes.
His idol Liu Zheng actually wanted to support his rebellion!
For this reason, Liu Zheng stated his plan in the letter without hesitation.
1. The East Indian army is about to attack the Safavid dynasty. The Safavid dynasty is adjacent to the Ottomans. This war will definitely make the Ottoman Grand Vizier alert. Because once the East India is in full swing and takes over the Safavid dynasty, it will
Directly "close" contact with Osman, the buffer zone between the two forces will no longer exist. In addition, Osman has just suffered a big loss at the hands of this group of dragon flame troops. Under this huge pressure, Osman
Won't not consider it.
In this way, the Ottomans will definitely participate in it and press the border with a large army. Although they will not directly participate in the war, they will definitely start to station heavy troops on the border in order to prevent East India from threatening the Ottoman border.
Of course, the last war between Osman and the Safi Dynasty was a complete victory for the Safi Dynasty. At this time, it is very possible for Osman to take advantage of the situation and try to save face and revive morale.
Second, Hamid’s brother, Erdogan, is a loyal supporter of the Turkish Guards. On the contrary, Hamid is a strong supporter of the Sipasi Cavalry. Therefore, if Hamid wants to mutiny, it is not impossible.
.At least if he raises his voice, many people in the cavalry class will definitely be willing to follow him.
Third, trade sanctions, this is a diplomatic strategy. Today, the Ottomans, or the entire Central Asia, even Africa, and Europe, have a huge demand for Long Yan's refined salt, and have even become dependent on it.
During the war, if the East India Company interrupted the supply of refined salt to support Hamid's rise to power, the entire Ottoman political situation would undergo great changes.
"this......"
Hamid was shocked by Liu Zheng's suggestion.
mutiny?
He never dared to consider this before!
but......
Liu Zheng in the letter spoke so eloquently.
Hamid's breathing began to become rapid.
All this...
It seems to be easy to achieve.
It's not difficult.
Yes, it is not difficult, he is the son of the Sultan! He has the right to inherit the kingdom! Why should the Grand Vizier always control the government?
"Your Highness..."
The old housekeeper was standing next to him, looking at Hamid like this, getting up angrily, and then pacing back and forth.
The scene was quiet for a while.
Hamid's breathing changed from rapid to calm, and then from calm to rapid.
