789 Lessons from the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom
Then he saw Fachil looking at Abbas II and said confidently: "You should be optimistic. The Ming army may be able to attack you Persia or Mughals. However, if you do not kneel down and surrender in front of me, Ottoman, you will have to end up being wiped out!"
Although Abbas II heard that the Ottoman prime minister belittled Persia, he was still ecstatic, so he knew that he had successfully incited the Ottomans.
With the strength of the Ottomans, the Ming army would definitely end up being wiped out. In this way, the Ottoman Empire and the Ming Kingdom would be dying. Even if the Ming army comes to expedition in the future, it would still be said that the Ottomans would go to fight!
As for the next consideration, it is how to rebuild the Persian Empire.
These thoughts flashed through Abbas II's mind. On the surface, he still showed anxiety and worry and said to Faqiel: "Don't underestimate the Ming army, otherwise, it will suffer a great loss! Otherwise, it's better to see if it can be negotiated..."
Before he could finish his words, Fachil stood up and turned around and walked into the back hall. It can be seen that Abbas II, the Persian emperor, was actually worthless in front of him.
Seeing this, Abbas II was still a little injured. After all, he was the Persian emperor before, and he was equal to the Ottoman emperor. Now he even ignored him!
But he is also a scheming person, and he just silently remembers these in his heart and in the small notebook in his heart. If he has the chance in the future, he will always take them out and settle the accounts.
……………………
The Great Vizier of the Ottoman Empire, namely the Prime Minister of the Empire, Koprulu Facchir Ahmed, moved into the back hall and left everyone behind, sitting there alone, obviously thinking.
It took a long time before he summoned people in, summarizing the situation in the eastern part of the Ottomans, as well as the situation in the Ming thieves and the Ming army in the Ottoman territory, and reorganized it, and wrote a memorial.
At this time, two hours had passed, and it was already evening. However, he had no scruples and immediately went to the palace to meet Queen Dohen Hatijie and the twelve-year-old Emperor (Sultan) Mohammed IV.
Of course, at this time, Muhammad IV was just a decoration. After listening to Faqier's basic report, Queen Duheng Hatijie did not go to see the memorial presented by the palace maids. She just stared at Faqier and asked, "What are your plans?"
Fachil was obviously considerate, so when he heard the queen's question, he answered with a serious expression without hesitation: "Not to say anything else, just the Ming army destroyed the Mughal Empire and captured the Persian Empire, we can know that it is powerful. If possible, it would be difficult for our Ottoman Empire to establish such a strong enemy. But..."
Speaking of this, after he paused, his voice became louder: "The Ming army did not care about our Ottomans at all, and led troops into our Ottoman territory, which seemed extremely domineering. Even if they were pursuing Persians and those thieves from the Ming Dynasty, if they really had the intention and did not want to be enemies with us, they would definitely contact us at the border to explain the situation..."
Duheng Hatijie listened very seriously, frowned and said nothing, but continued to listen to her empire prime minister's analysis of the situation.
"... From this we can see that the Ming people did not take our Ottoman Empire seriously at all!" Faqier said this, with a cold look in his eyes and concluded in a firm tone, "It can be seen that the Ming people were insatiable, and the emperor probably went crazy and wanted to take the whole world for himself. His hostility towards our Ottomans is very obvious, and he might also want to conquer us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a tender voice saying, "The Emperor of Ming Dynasty is so amazing!"
Faqier didn't have to look at it, and he could only pretend that he didn't hear it.
Duheng Hatijie turned to look at Muhammad IV, shouted with a cold face, "Don't talk nonsense, listen carefully, learn well!"
When Muhamud IV heard this, she lowered her head and refused to give it to his mother. She curled her lips slightly and didn't say anything anymore.
When Duheng Hatijie saw this, she turned around and continued to look at Fachil seriously and with a little concern, and nodded slightly.
When Faqier saw this, he continued to speak out his thoughts seriously and said, "Therefore, the idea of the empress is that since the visitor is not good, he must give a heavy blow and hit a fierce one, so that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will know the power of our Ottoman Empire. In this way, the Ming Dynasty will respect our Ottomans and dare not be enemies of our Ottomans again!"
Duheng Hatijie nodded when she heard this, thinking that her prime minister made a lot of sense. After all, there was never a precedent for the Ottoman Empire to be invaded by the enemy, but she still dared not start a war.
But she also has a person with her own brain, so she asked Faqier: "Then do you think you can beat those Ming troops?"
Speaking of this, she paused and added: "After all, those Ming troops could conquer the Mughal Empire and the Persian Empire all the way to the west, and their strength must be very strong!"
After hearing this, Faqier nodded and agreed: "The Ming army must be very powerful, otherwise it would not have been so far away. However, there is a saying that the arrows shot out will eventually be exhausted. Our Ottoman Empire is so far away from the Ming country, so I don't believe it. How much strength can the Ming army have? "
After saying this, he immediately raised his voice and said with a little confidence: "And I have thought about the tactics of the Ming army. They are the best at using local untouchables to work for them. The other is that their firearms are powerful. I can be sure that the source of the new guns and cannons that are popular now is the Ming country. This is why they are so powerful..."
Speaking of this, he changed his tone and sneered: "However, now our Ottoman Empire already has new guns and cannons. At least in terms of military supplies, there is no shortage of the Ming army's ordnances. In addition, we are fighting with the Ming army, which is a local war. At least in terms of military supplies, personnel mobilization, terrain, and even climate, all of which are superior to the Ming army..."
Duheng Hatijie heard Faucil say, her frown slowly stretched out. Obviously, her worry was much less.
"...In general, I think it is certain that our Ottoman gathers a large army and uses as many advantages as possible to annihilate the invading Ming army in one fell swoop." Fachil said this, holding his head up and said confidently, "In this way, he can attack the Emperor of Ming and let him know that the power of my Ottoman Empire has ruined his intention to conquer our Ottoman Empire!"
Duheng Hatijie nodded repeatedly, and the worry on her face disappeared. She said to Faqiel: "Since you know what to do is the best for our Ottoman Empire, then let it go. My promise to your father is still valid, so don't worry too much."
She had promised Farchir's father, Koplu Mohammed Pasha, that she would never interfere with the imperial prime minister's handling of government affairs, which made the Koplu family do their best to the Ottoman royal family.
If the original historical development was developed, it would have indeed brought about the effect, which made the Ottoman Empire revival and not declined again until the Battle of Vienna.
Back to the present, Duheng Hatijie actually did the same. But Facill felt that this matter was too important. Therefore, despite the promise of the queen, he still came to get the queen's consent and dared to let go.
At this time, Faqier received the queen's permission and was naturally happy in his heart. He immediately said goodbye and left. At this time, it was already dark.
In the following days, Faqier formulated a series of decrees, and in the name of Muhammad IV, he began to send them to the whole country and his vassal states, mobilized troops and generals, collected food and grass, and other pre-war preparations.
The ever-expanding Guards, local legions and feudal armies in various places, and even the troops in the Anatolian region, Rumelia Rumilia Legion, were all ordered to gather. In addition, the servants of the three principalities of the Ottoman Empire, Transylvania, Moldavia and Wallachia, were also ordered to send troops. Of course, the cavalry of the Crimean Khanate also received the order to mobilize troops.
After the news spread, all countries in Europe were frightened by such a large-scale military force. I wonder what the Ottoman Empire was going to do?
Since the rise of the Ottoman Empire, especially after winning the Battle of Constantinople, it can be said that the shadow of the Ottoman Empire has been looming over the heads of European countries over the past hundred years.
The fear of the Ottomans was not over until the Europeans won the Battle of Vienna, and there was no such fear.
However, at this time, European countries were still afraid of the power of the Ottoman Empire. Therefore, such a large-scale gathering of troops in the Ottoman Empire naturally attracted the attention of all European countries.
In the European countries where the civil war, several countries that were originally fighting happily, all of whom were close to each other under the threat of the Ottoman Empire, stopped the war and then sent secret spies to spy on the Ottoman Empire's real purpose of gathering troops.
As a result, the battle between the Ottoman Empire and the Ming army unknowingly became the most eye-catching thing in Europe, and even the world.
As the Ottoman army advanced eastward, news began to spread. So the Europeans began to watch the show with gloating pleasure.
