Chapter 1957: The Book of Battle Glancing at Ibrahim Pasha who showed a suspicious look, Suleiman narrowed his eyes and said very confidently: "I believe it is true, the French are the best at betrayal, have you forgotten who betrayed Joan of Arc in France?"
After a pause, Suleiman continued: "You should also know that for several years, the French have been secretly trying to establish a solid alliance with us to deal with the threat of the Holy Roman Empire, and the envoys of both sides have been in secret contact, in fact, even if they let them capture Istanbul, the secret documents of their communication with us will sooner or later be discovered by the Crusaders, and then it will be made public.
Moreover, France has always been isolated, and the king of France is by no means willing to become a vassal, and the hatred between them and the Francois is far greater than the hatred with us. ” Ibrahim Pasha was convinced by Suleiman's analysis.
The French have been at war almost every year for the past hundred years, first with the British, then with the Spaniards, then with the HRE for Italy, and with the Ottomans, because of the Holy Roman Empire, but it was peaceful.
To some extent, the French were eager for the Ottomans to break through Vienna and completely kill the Habsburgs, so the secret contact between the two sides has not been broken all these years.
Now, these Frenchmen, it seems, have finally found a good opportunity, apparently trying to stab the crusaders in the back.
At this time, Suleiman smiled coldly, looked at Ibrahim Pasha deeply and said: "My friend, do you understand now that the threat outside the city is no longer important, we have hundreds of thousands of troops here, have accumulated all our strength, and have the help of the French, then, the only problem that needs to be solved urgently now is these Tatars."
Haven't we been looking for the secret recipe for firearms that you mentioned once, and these manufacturing methods, in the hands of these Tatars, these Tatars are in my Ottoman, aren't they under my control, as long as I obtain these, then, there will be no one in this world who can compare with me, sooner or later, you will become my first minister, of course, what is urgently needed now is to paralyze these Tatars first, and all this depends on you.
You still secretly give the Tatars a message to show your reverence for them, to show that you are loyal enough to them, only then will they let down their guard, and once the Crusaders start to attack the city, when the French attack the Crusaders from behind, we can immediately deal with the Tatars, so that we can get all the secrets about the Tatars. ” Ibrahim Pasha was horrified, but he also realized that this was indeed a plan to kill two birds with one stone.
"And now," Suleiman stared at Ibrahim Pasha, his eyes shining like a razor-sharp blade.
The next moment, Ibrahim Pasha heard Suleiman's slightly calm voice: "My friend, you should know what to do next."
"I" Ibrahim Pasha only groaned slightly, and then hurriedly said, "I know how to do it." ” Suleiman smiled, showing satisfaction, and then said, "Good, good.
So, let's get started. ” In this crowded Istanbul, even in the barracks, the noise outside the camp could not help but come, Ye Chunqiu felt that it was too hot here, but it was a pity that the electricity had not yet been studied, otherwise, he would have to make a fan.
Even though the great war was about to break out and the sun here was unbearable, the drill still did not stop.
In this hot weather, Ye Chunqiu, who was the king of Lu, had no intention of practicing swords and reading, so he simply took a cool look in the tent, but at this time, that Ibrahim Pasha came.
He first wanted Ye Chunqiu to salute, and then said respectfully: "Your Highness, there are envoys from outside the city, and the Sultan wants you to take a look." ” Ye Chunqiu hadn't seen Ibrahim Pasha for a few days, smiled at him casually, and said, "What are the envoys of the Francois doing here?"
Ibrahim Pasha hesitated: "Presumably, the army of Francos is about to arrive, so an envoy has been sent to send a letter of war. ” "Okay, let's take a look."
Ye Chunqiu said, but did not hesitate, stood up sharply, in addition to wearing the sword of breaking on his body, he also hid a riding spear in case of accidents, and then went out of the camp with Ibrahim Pasha.
They took a carriage and passed through the bustling street market and went straight to the court.
This magnificent Ottoman court is a fusion of Western characteristics, but in Ye Chunqiu's opinion, this kind of decoration with gold leaf everywhere gives him a feeling of nouveau riche.
This palace alone spent fourteen tons of gold and forty tons of silver to decorate, and its extravagance is staggering.
Ye Chunqiu even thought that if he was the master here, he would scrape off all the gold and silver as soon as possible and use it to enrich the reserves of the bank.
But other than that, the building is not bad.
Nestled on the Bruce Strait of Persia, the Domabahce Palace is known as the Reclamation Garden, facing the Strait on one side and the Royal Gardens on the other.
Ye Chunqiu was led by Ibrahim Pasha and arrived at a palace, several eunuchs saluted them, Ibrahim Pasha was the first to enter, and when Ye Chunqiu entered, he knew that there were many people here.
Suleiman was now dressed in an extravagant robe, holding a scepter, and on his left and right were the Ottoman Pasha, as well as some of the vassals who had come to reinforce him.
But for Ye Chunqiu's arrival, many people showed a sneer.
Ibrahim Pasha very intimately invited an interpreter to Ye Chunqiu's side, then Suleiman only glanced at Ye Chunqiu, and did not say much, he looked extremely majestic, and whispered a few words to the Pasha beside him, and then a Francoji man walked in.
Franco took off his hat and bowed to Suleiman, and the interpreter next to him began to translate the conversation between the two.
"Who Sent You?"
"He is the great King of kings, the messenger of the emperor, and the light that is still in the world."
Listening to the translation's words, Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but feel embarrassed, if it weren't for the fact that he had been in a high position for a long time and had already practiced his invisible, he even had the urge to roll his eyes.
Whether it is the Ottomans or the Francos, this bragging skill is impressive. aa2705221:
