As early as two years ago, the Ottoman Empire sent people across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe and began to contact the Song Empire.

Therefore, the Empire and the Ottomans are not very strange.

Moreover, some small agreements were reached with the Ottomans in some private agreements of the empire, so the Ottomans are now considered ally of the empire and have given considerable help to Portugal and France in the wars that took place in Europe.

Even the Ottomans also formed a fleet and fought with the fleet of the vassal coalition forces of the church in the Mediterranean, competing for hegemony in the Mediterranean.

Therefore, the Ottomans joined the Portuguese-France-Song Alliance, which greatly alleviated some pressure from Portuguese-France.

It is precisely because the Ottomans were allies that the empire set up concessions in Egypt and the troops stationed in the Egyptians were the bosses of the Egyptians that the Ottomans turned a blind eye and ignored them.

Otherwise, it would be a joke to the Empire's desire to station troops in Cairo.

Today's Ottoman Empire can be said to be at its peak as the Japanese side.

At this time, the Ottoman Empire had a strong military force, and the country's territory spanned the three continents of Asia, Africa and Latin America to an area of ​​11.6 million square kilometers.

In the Ottoman Empire, many nations were full of contradictions.

Fortunately, the Ottoman Empire is at its peak now, so these domestic contradictions can be suppressed and controlled.

It was not until the eighteenth century that the Ottoman Empire would decline.

But, at that time, there were still more than a hundred years left before now.

And within these 100 years, the Ottoman Empire could still be more prosperous.

Therefore, in the face of such a huge figure as the Ottoman Empire, Zhao Hongyu had to be cautious at the beginning. After all, the Ottoman Empire was still very powerful at this time, right?

At this time, the Osman Empire encompasses and possesses a part of Asia Minor, Arabia, Syria, Palestine, Iraq, Armenia and Georgia.

In Europe, it occupies Albania, Serbia, Boswia, Herzegovina, Mendenegoro, Bulgaria, Greece and the Dutch of the Danube - Moldavia, Wallachia, as well as areas near the Krim, Azoov Sea and the Black Sea.

In Africa, it occupies Egypt, Tripoli, Algeria, Tunisia, etc.

It can be seen that the Ottoman Empire during this period was so strong and its territory was so vast.

If the empire does not consider the factors of the Ottoman Empire, then if the plan is to be implemented in Europe, it will cause some unnecessary trouble if the Ottomans intervene.

Therefore, being intimate with the Ottomans is also beneficial to the empire to some extent.

Of course, the contact between the Empire and the Ottomans was essentially exploited.

I think so, the Ottomans think so.

After all, the two countries are far apart, and there is an Atlantic Ocean in the middle.

Therefore, it is very beneficial to reach some small agreements between the Empire and the Ottomans, and it is a temporary advantage to join forces.

Besides, the empire was also full of ambitions for the Arab region under the control of the Ottoman Empire, right?

Just so, using this honeymoon period with the Ottomans, the empire could savvy the situation in the Arab world and the mentality of the chiefs of the Arab region towards the Ottoman rule.

Once the time is right, the empire can copy the methods used in Europe, provoking turmoil in the Ottoman Empire, and then allowing the empire to profit.

The Imperial Intelligence Department in Cairo Concession in Egypt also worked very effectively.

During this period, they had basically figured out some information and social structure composition information in the Ottoman Empire.

Mabond was not surprised by the sudden visit of the Ottomans.

Because the Ottomans were competing with the Europeans for Mediterranean hegemony, their backyard caught fire.

There is oppression and resistance. This sentence is very clear in the future of another time and space.

And the Ottomans are now in such trouble.

Because of the war, the Ottomans continued to increase taxes on domestic people, so the lower-class people could not bear it.

Especially the Ottoman people, the composition is very complex.

It is much more complicated than ordinary countries.

These people were gathered together by the Ottomans through continuous conquest of each country, so it was impossible to be so harmonious.

The Ottomans also oppressed these people in different attitudes and ways, which further intensified some less prominent contradictions.

For example, the uprising broke out in Serbia this time was caused by the local Ottoman Governor oppressing the local people.

And the riot has now expanded rapidly, and it is like a prairie fire that has begun to sweep away.

Faced with such a situation, the Ottomans could not sit still.

Therefore, they must mobilize a large army to suppress it.

In history, there were many riots and uprisings in the Ottoman Empire, and there were countless.

It can be seen that its rule was not so smooth.

However, it is OK to send troops to suppress the riots, but the problem is that the domestic economic situation in the Ottoman Empire is not very good now.

Moreover, most of the finances are used to support the navy in fighting for Mediterranean hegemony.

Therefore, the treasury of the Ottoman Empire is now extremely empty.

At the same time, the large army that suppressed the uprising should not go to fight with the uprising army empty-handedly.

Those weapons and logistics supplies are all needed.

So, now the Ottomans can only seek the empire.

This is also why the Ottomans appeared here in the Cairo Concession.

Mabond had already guessed this question.

But he is still pretending to be confused now.

The empire was very rich, and it was not difficult to meet the small needs of the Ottomans.

Even, there was no need to transport supplies from the empire at all. The concessions in Egypt alone had enough weapons and supplies to satisfy the Ottomans.

However, Mabond didn't want to satisfy the Ottomans so easily.

It would be impossible for the Ottomans to not bleed.

Even if it is an "alliance", it cannot provide unconditional assistance.

When they arrived at the gate of the military camp, Mabond and the others stopped their horses.

After talking to the guards guarding the gate, the guards opened the gate of the barracks and let Mabond enter the barracks with the Ottomans.

Mabond complained very much about the Ottoman military system.

Therefore, he was not surprised at all about the great riot that the Ottomans have now appeared in China.

According to information, the military system of the Ottoman Empire adopted the lord's fiefing system.

Although it is centralized on the surface, it is not the case at all.

Therefore, the lords and nobles who were divided were not so concerned about the riots that occurred.

They will only get serious unless there is a riot in their own territory.

As for other people's troubles, why should they care about it?

You should know that the corresponding Caliph’s call to send troops was consumed.

Therefore, in the face of the negative of the lords from all over the country, the Caliph had to send people to contact the empire, hoping to get help from the empire. Then the Caliph himself used his direct corps to encircle and suppress the uprising army.

Regarding the affairs in the Ottoman country, the information on the Cairo Concession has long been very detailed.

It is precisely because of this reason that Ma Bond is very disdainful in private.

The messenger sent by the Caliph this time was a man and a woman.

The man is the eldest son of the Caliph, Prince Mustafa, the heir of the Ottoman Empire, and the woman is Princess Nikia.

Just from the identities of the two envoys, we also know that the Caliph attached great importance to this envoy.

Of course, there is another meaning behind this.

That is. Mustafa, who is the heir of a "rich man" like the empire, must have more contact.

When this prince inherits the Ottoman throne, if a friend of the "big rich man" like the Empire will be much easier to deal with, right?

After all, the Ottoman Empire now has a lot of foreign debts and its treasury is extremely empty.

Princess Nikia's arrival was because the Caliph wanted to marry the empire and wanted the princess to marry the empire's crown prince Zhao Hongyu.

Therefore, after the princess came to the concession, Prince Mustafa would say this to Mabond, the governor of the concession, and then ask the princess to hand it over to the empire, so that the empire could find a way to send it to the Americas.

After all, there are wars in the Mediterranean nowadays, and if you go to the Mediterranean, the princess will not be so safe.

If the empire finds a way, it would be much easier.

A few years ago, the Ottomans arrived in America, but they had seen the huge warships of the Americans.

Therefore, the princess sent the imperial people to America, so there is no need to worry about safety.

However, Prince Mustafa has not yet proposed this matter.

After all, the first thing he wants to talk about is that he hopes that the empire can provide a large number of weapons and supplies.

This is the most important thing.
