Chapter 1580, each has its own calculations

"It was broken in less than an hour?"

A place 200 miles away from Damascus City, a huge army was moving. Kansu II, who was riding on a tall horse, was also in deep thought as he looked at the latest information.

Damascus has a long history, with tall and strong walls, and is protected by tens of thousands of troops. However, the Ottoman army was captured in less than an hour, which really scared Kansu II.

This is too fast!

"This Ottoman army swept across Europe, and the Europeans were unable to raise their heads. This combat power is indeed well-deserved and terrifying."

"How terrifying will the Ming people who can hold the Ottomans to the ground and rub against each other?"

"In the battle of Erzinjan, the Ming Empire only had an army of 200,000 against the Ottoman Empire. As a result, Erzinjan City was captured in less than a day."

"This city of Erzinjan is known as a natural danger. The Ming army can break through in one day. The Ottoman Empire is still defending the city, and there is a huge advantage in terms of military strength."

"No wonder this Ming Empire army can sweep across the world!"

In the past, Kansu II had heard countless legends about the army of the Ming Empire. It was said that the army of the Ming Empire swept across the world and was invincible.

He still didn't believe it very much, thinking that this might be an exaggeration.

The army of the Ming Empire may indeed be strong in combat, but it is not as invincible as it is boastful.

But now, Damascus was captured by the Ottoman army in just an hour, and this Ottoman Empire was still a defeated opponent of the Ming Empire.

After such a comparison, he immediately knew how powerful and terrifying the army of the Ming Empire was.

"Damascus has been broken so easily. It is definitely not easy to win the Ottoman Empire. At that time, I can only look at the new army in my hands."

"Those corrupt feudal military nobles and lords have long been vulnerable and useless. It is useless to count on them."

"At that time, let them charge first, consume the strength of the Ottoman army, and then send a new army to the field."

Kansu II was planning silently in his heart.

Looking at the army moving forward in front of him, this time, Takansu II also bet on the national destiny.

After several years of training, the 30,000 new troops were brought with me. The traditional Mamluk military nobles also led an army of 150,000. In addition, he also recruited 200,000 peasants who lost their land to form a new army.

Although the new army composed of 200,000 peasants had just been formed and had no combat experience at all, during the excavation of the Egyptian canal, it was organized by the Ming people according to a certain military system. Therefore, it is disciplined and obeys orders very much. It is equipped with cold weapons. As long as it is commanded properly, it can be used.

Of course, it mainly depends on the 30,000 musketeers in his hands.

These 30,000 people were built by him in the form of the Ming army. Not only did he arm all the weapons and equipment imported from the Ming Empire, but he also used the treatment, food and other aspects to refer to the Ming army as much as possible.

It has been formed for several years. Although it has not experienced combat, it has been trained, disciplined, and a strong desire to fight. It is very eager to win in battle and thus gain military merits.

The little abacus in Kansu II's mind was naturally twitching. He wanted to continue this war to greatly weaken the power of the traditional feudal nobles. In this way, he could truly control all the voice and cultivate his own new power.

He knew clearly that the lords of these feudal military nobles in China were corrupting the empire and they wanted to annex the land. Because they were feudal military nobles and lords, they did not need to pay taxes.

The taxes they received were getting less and less, the farmers lost a lot of land, domestic conflicts became increasingly fierce, peasant uprisings and riots were coming one after another, all of which were shaking the rule of the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt.

Kansu II was determined to reform, but he was subject to many obstacles. The power of these traditional military aristocrats was beyond imagination. It was too difficult to regain the land from their hands.

If they get angry, they can also unite to overthrow themselves. You should know that these feudal military nobles have soldiers and food, and this is true for several changes in the Mamluk dynasty.

The ancestors of Kansu II were actually also a feudal military aristocrats. Later, they joined forces with some military aristocrats to overthrow the original dynasty and establish the current dynasty.

Kansu II knew that once he really made up his mind to take back the land, he would otherwise have a quarrel with these feudal military nobles, so he either had enough strength to suppress them or he had to find a way to weaken their military power.

And now, the opportunity has finally come.

However, Takansu II had his own little abacus, and these feudal military nobles also had their own little abacus.

In front of the army's march, several large military nobles gathered together.

"The city of Damascus is high and strong, and it is broken in an hour. Can we win the Ottoman army?"

Karavin looked at the army ahead, his face full of sorrow.

As a great nobleman in the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt, he had a huge land and wealth he passed down from his ancestors. He had been living a life of a superior person since he was a child.

Naturally, he didn't want to go to war, but it was a private one. What's more, he was fighting against the Ottoman army that swept across Europe and Asia. The opponent's strength was so powerful that it could be seen in just the battle of Damascus that he would break through Damascus in one hour.

"If you can't win, you have to fight, otherwise what else can you do?"

Duer, who was beside him, looked at Karaven. He was also a military nobleman with a vast fiefdom and a large number of land and population. In his own territory, his life was naturally extremely comfortable.

However, in recent years, his life has become increasingly difficult.

Although Kansu II was young, he was a destructive and capable king. He had been trying to consolidate his position and power. Many of the powers were in the hands of Kansu II.

Originally, everyone was thinking that Kansu II was young and didn't know anything. Everyone could control as much power as possible, but they underestimated Kansu II.

The domestic land annexation was serious and there were many contradictions, but he could find the Ming people to dig the Egyptian canal together. By digging the canal, Egypt was relieved in a few years. Kansu II also took the opportunity to train his army and gained more voice.

So much so that now, military nobles such as Dur and Karaven are becoming increasingly afraid of Kansu II, afraid that Kansu II will directly take back everyone's land and army.

Once we reach that point, if we start a war with Kansu II, our chances of winning may not be as high.

"The Ottoman army swept across the world, which is far from something we can resist. We should not die in the battlefield for nothing. He said he would take the opportunity to take back our land and army."

Karavin thought for a while and said.

"What do you want to do?"

Duer pondered for a while, thought for a while and asked.

"This Egyptian canal can be collected 18 million taels of silver a year. We can't get a penny of this silver. Why do the people of the Ming Dynasty share half of us? This canal is our Egyptian canal."

"Kansu II took out the land that belonged to us Egyptians to dig the canal. The proceeds of this canal should belong to us Egyptians. Why should they divide our canals?"

"This Egyptian canal, it should belong to all of us Egyptians."

Karavin did not reply directly, but mentioned the Egyptian canal.

"Kansu II's inspirational reform has been revealed. Sooner or later, he will take away the land and army in our hands. Now he has the huge wealth brought by the canal. He can easily train tens of thousands of new troops every year in the future."

"When he is strong enough, we are camels to be slaughtered."

Karavin's words obviously hit Dur's key point.

Everyone was a feudal military aristocrat, and they were only on the land and army in their hands. If they lost these two things, they were nothing.

Now I move with emotion and reason, and at the same time, the huge temptation of the Egyptian canal, Karavin is not afraid that Dur will not take the bait.

"What do you mean?"

Duer looked at Karaven. At this critical moment, he actually told him about these things, obviously he had some intentions.
