When observers from the Tang Empire discovered that people from the Orman Kingdom had launched a counterattack without authorization and seized large areas of territory in the Balkans, many officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were very unhappy.
You used to be procrastinating when I asked you to fight, but now that I don't ask you to fight, you take the initiative. How about playing with me?
When the officials responsible for external affairs of the Tang Empire were unhappy, the Ottoman Kingdom would also be in trouble.
In order to crack down on the Ottoman Kingdom's behavior of waging war without authorization and disrupting peace, the empire announced that it recognized several great pashas in the Ottoman Empire as warring groups in the Ottoman Civil War. In order to protect the interests of the empire, it began to have open diplomatic contacts with them.
Although the empire only recognized them as a warring group and conducted diplomatic contacts, there was also military assistance behind the scenes.
Although it is not free, it is a low-interest loan. There is nothing to carry with this kind of low-interest loan or direct payment.
After receiving low-interest loans and weapons and ammunition provided by the Tang Dynasty, the pashas acted like chickens and ordered the troops to start the war without any hesitation.
The war on the Western Front in Europe had temporarily come to an end, and when only the defense of Paris was left, a complete civil war broke out in the Ottoman Kingdom.
A total of five warring groups fought a chaotic war between multiple pashas and the royal family, and this kind of civil war was more cruel than the war on the Western Front in Europe.
Seeing that the Ottomans were in chaos, the Safi Dynasty in the east couldn't help it anymore. They quietly asked the Tang Consul in Safi: Dad Tang, if, I say if, we send troops to the Ottoman Kingdom, will you object?
, let’s talk first, we are just asking some questions hypothetically, no matter what Dad Tang says, we will strictly abide by it!
The Consul of the Tang Dynasty in Safi replied: The Tang Dynasty never interfered in the internal affairs of the indigenous people!
After speaking, he took out a product catalog of the Tang Arms Trading Company: "This is the latest product catalog of the West Asia Branch of the Tang Arms Trading Company. You may be interested!
Upon hearing this, the people of the Safi Dynasty were happily preparing to purchase weapons and ammunition to prepare for war!
This time, they were determined to take advantage of the civil strife in the Ottoman Kingdom to attack the Mediterranean!
The war between the Safavid Dynasty and the Ottoman Kingdom was a war between indigenous countries. The Tang Dynasty never interfered in such affairs between indigenous countries, for the same reason.
When the Mughal Dynasty further east saw that the Safi Dynasty wanted to cause trouble and began to draw many troops from the eastern front, they also thought they saw an opportunity:
When the Safi Dynasty and the Ottoman Kingdom are fighting and have no time to worry about it, wouldn't it be wonderful to come and stab the Safi Dynasty in the back?
After having this idea, the Mughal Dynasty also asked the Tang consul in the Mughal Kingdom for his opinion as a routine, but the Tang consul did not bother to care.
The Tang Dynasty has always been very fair. Since it does not care about the war between the Safi Dynasty and the Ottoman Kingdom, it will also not care about the war between the Mughal Kingdom and the Safi Dynasty.
Similarly, the many wars that are breaking out on the Indian Peninsula are also treated equally.
The war between you natives is none of my business in the Tang Dynasty...
If you still buy our Datang weapons to fight, we can even applaud you...
As these indigenous countries expanded their ambitions and tried to cause trouble, the Tang Empire pretended not to notice them at all, and would often send them a copy of the latest product catalog from the Datang Arms Trading Company.
If these indigenous countries are also courageous, especially the Mughal Kingdom, which is adjacent to the mainland of the Tang Empire, they have long wanted to expand westward, so as to stay away from the Tang Dynasty.
Living on the edge of the Tang Dynasty is a sour and refreshing experience that ordinary indigenous countries cannot experience.
I couldn't sleep at ease, for I was afraid that someday there would be some conflict with the Tang Dynasty people, and then the Tang Dynasty's cannonballs would fall into the palace.
Because of the special nature of the Mughal Kingdom, it was located on the edge of the Central Asian mainland of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty did not trust them, so in addition to the border troops, a regiment was also stationed in the capital of the Mughal Kingdom.
Make sure that if anything happens to the high-ranking officials of the Mughal Kingdom that is detrimental to the empire, they will be directly punished by the high-ranking officials of the Mughal Kingdom.
It was rare in the Tang Empire to station so many troops in the hinterland territory of the indigenous people, especially in the capital. In other words, it was the only thing that happened.
As we all know, the people of the Tang Dynasty particularly hated contact with the indigenous people, and this was also reflected in the military garrison overseas.
The Tang Empire's overseas garrisons were often stationed in embassy areas along the coast and rivers, or in completely independent military bases. Under normal circumstances, they rarely stationed large numbers of troops in the hinterlands of other countries.
This means risk and uncontrollability.
Infectious diseases break out among the natives every day. If there is too much contact, all the garrison troops may be infected.
Taking North Africa and Europe as an example, the empire's military garrisons in Europe are mainly in Ceuta, the Danish Islands, and Egypt.
As for other places, there are very few.
For example, in Cadiz, Spain, although there is an embassy area, there is only one battalion of embassy area guards. If you go to Madrid, there is only one company of consulate guards.
In the Kingdom of England, the embassy district was only established in the lower Thames area of London, where a company of guards and a small fleet were stationed.
This is the model in Portugal, France and the United Provinces.
Not to mention the Mughal Kingdom, where a whole regiment was stationed directly in the capital, and it was a mixed regiment combining infantry, cavalry and artillery, with a total strength of more than 3,000 people.
Staying next to this mixed group, you can know how frightened the dignitaries of the Mughal Kingdom are. They will never dare to resist such things. Even because of this mixed group, they still suppress the local area and protect the local people.
In the name of the Mughal Empire, the Mughal Dynasty had to pay more than 100,000 Tang Yuan for defense assistance every year...
The people of the Mughal Kingdom have long wanted to change the status quo and want to stay away from the Tang people, especially from the mainland of the Tang people.
In the early years, they tried to go south, but they were quickly slapped by six or seven southern kingdoms who united and knew that going south was not feasible.
Because the seven southern kingdoms and tribes were still fighting each other to death.
But they gave up all their prejudices at that time and finally united to fight against the Mughal Kingdom.
Who in this world can do these things?
The Tang Empire!
Even a fool can see that the Tang Empire is behind this.
The Tang Empire did not want to see their Mughal dynasty expand towards the central and southern parts of the Indian peninsula!
In the end, I had no choice but to set my sights on the Safavid dynasty in the west.
A few years ago, the Mughal Dynasty had already fought a medium-sized war with the Safi Dynasty, but no one was pleased that time. In the end, the war turned into a war of attrition, and in the end, armistice negotiations had to be held.
But now, as the Safavid Dynasty wants to take action against the Ottoman Kingdom, the Mughal Dynasty thinks this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Conquer the Safi Dynasty and move the capital far away from the mainland of the Tang Dynasty!
But the people of the Mughal Dynasty did not know that when they wanted to fight against the Safavid Dynasty, several kingdoms and tribes in the south had quietly stopped fighting with each other and began to mobilize their troops to move north!
Chaotic wars among the indigenous people broke out again as the Tang Arms Trading Company's transport ships arrived around the world!
