Chapter 806 This is a private act At this time, Major General Liu Bingren did not know that he had been promoted to major general, and he docked in Istanbul of the Ottoman Empire to make a friendly visit to the Ottoman Empire.In fact, the Ottoman Empire, in all fairness, they were quite enlightened, as long as they were not on the battlefield, the Ottomans would appear enthusiastic, cheerful, and generous, and they would be as cold and bloodthirsty as they were on the battlefield.The Ming Dynasty had good diplomatic relations with the Ottomans, but in the Apocalypse and Chongzhen dynasties, diplomacy was interrupted, and the Ottoman Sultan was both happy and surprised to see the arrival of the Ming fleet, giving the visiting delegation a very high standard of reception, and allowing them to visit Istanbul's madrasas, mosques and royal libraries.The Ottomans' luxurious and elegant buildings and prosperous cities made the Ming envoys full of praise, and the collection of books in the royal library made them even more amazed, and they deeply realized that the Ming Dynasty was not the only one in this world, at least the Ottoman Empire was not inferior to the Ming in many fields, and even surpassed!
At this time, Liu Bingren seemed a little helpless.There is an old Chinese saying that is very good, stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, and now the Ottoman Empire is showing a smiling face, and everyone, including Liu Bingren, does not know the reaction to the Ottoman after submitting his credentials.After all, opening your mouth to ask the Ottoman Empire for the Nile Delta, this is a bit unauthentic.However, in fact, Liu Bingren thought too much.At the welcome banquet held by the Ottoman Empire at the Imperial Palace, at this time, the Ottoman sultan was Murad IV, he was a baby sultan, and when he ascended the throne, he was only eleven years old.He was the master of the Ottoman Empire's history and was known for his cruelty.When he first ascended the throne, Murad IV was under the control of his family, and his mother, the Sultan of Kseem, was in charge.The empire was in anarchy at this time.The Persians took the opportunity to invade Iraq, and riots broke out in northern Anatolia.In 1631, the Turkish Janissaries broke into the palace and went on a killing spree, and the Grand Vich was also killed.Murad IV, fearing a repeat of his eldest brother Osman II, decided to take power.In 1632, with the full support of the Guards and the judges, he quelled the rebellion of the once-dominant Janissary Legion, and restored order to the capital Istanbul and the provinces.He immediately disbanded the Yenisheri Legion, abolished the practice of recruiting children from Christian countries to replenish the army, and reorganized the new army.He ruled the country with an iron fist, freeing himself from the harem rule of his predecessors and improving the situation.Despite the fact that Murad IV was in power for a few years, he restarted the Ottoman war machine, sent troops to occupy Syria, Lebanon, and expeditions to Persia.It can be said that under the reign of Murad IV, the Ottoman Empire was at its peak, and the crescent moon flag hunted and flew in Europe, Asia and Africa, and countless fierce Arab warriors wielded the full moon scimitar, under the guidance of the crescent moon flag, shouted "Long live Allah", and launched a round of stormy attacks on Europe, Asia and Africa.The Renaissance woke Europe up from the dark Middle Ages, the Age of Discovery allowed Europe to obtain such a plug-in from the American continent, the military strength of European countries is growing rapidly, one or two countries may not be very good, but if the whole of Europe is united under the cross to form a strong alliance, it will become the most terrible enemy of the Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman Empire will never allow Europe to develop calmly, and finally push itself!
In this series of wars, the Ottomans won more than they lost, and apart from being beaten all over the head by the Venetian city-state republic in terms of navy, their land battles were always crushing victories.This victory also gave the Ottoman Empire the idea of seeing everything in vain.In order to show his wealth, Murad IV held this banquet in a palatial palace, and before the banquet, he also sent a powerful army under the command of the Minister of War to stage a war dance with more than 3,000 heavily armed soldiers."
Colonel Liu, I'm afraid there won't be a good banquet!"
It was Lin Ashui who acted as the translator, Lin Ashui had not seen this kind of scene yet, and was a little nervous, but he looked at Liu Bingren beside him and narrowed his eyes slightly.Liu Bingren looked at Fang Yingqiu, the captain of the Marine Corps beside him, and said, "How is it?"
”"Ten years ago, we still had a chance to fight, but now!""
How's it going?"
Fang Yingqiu said with a smile: "If it is opened, in a quarter of an hour, there will still be an Ottoman standing in this square, you take out my eyes as a bubble!"
”Liu Bingren laughed: "Not bad, not bad!"
”This is really not bragging, the Marine Corps that followed the European expedition was only a division, more than 200 people, armed with six 60 mortars, two 82-mm mortars, four heavy machine gun crews, and twelve light machine guns.This army of more than 3,000 heavily armed Ottoman army soldiers did not have a chance to rush to the front of the Ming Royal Army, and the machine gunners would let them know what it meant to be invincible.Lin Ashui looked at Liu Bingren, Fang Yingqiu and other officers, including the representatives of the Ming merchants who came with the expedition, and they all showed disdain.It can be said that at this time, the Ottomans were raising their might to the Ming Dynasty, and in the eyes of the European expeditions, it was like asking Hanako to compare treasures with the dragon king.Seeing that he couldn't frighten the Ming people, the Minister of War could only wave back the soldiers and guide everyone into the main hall.After coming to the main hall, the Ottoman Sultan Murad, who was just thirty years old at the time, said: "All the people of the Ottoman Empire, including the Sultan, are full of good feelings and yearning for the mysterious oriental civilization.But ......"
With this long voice, Liu Bingren looked at Lin Ashui and said: "You tell the truth!"
”Lin Ashui said with a gloomy face: "He said, but Da Ming has done something that seriously harms the interests of the Ottomans, which is really regrettable." ”Liu Bingren smiled faintly: "What regrets?
”Liu Bingren is not a diplomat, he is a Ming Royal Navy officer, his waist is straight, except for the delegation of less than 200 people to the palace, the rest of the team members, sailors, soldiers, are on the battleship, ready to fight.If something goes wrong, that's the beginning of the war.Murad IV said in a deep voice: "You are a serious threat to the Ottomans by selling powerful cannons and cannonballs to the Venetians, the powerful enemies of the Ottoman Empire!"
Over the course of the year, the Venetians have sunk many Imperial warships with the cannonballs they have bought from you, causing many of Allah's warriors to hate the battlefield, which is unbearable!
If the Ming really cherished friendship with the Ottoman Empire, please stop supplying the Venetians with this terrible weapon!
”Chapter 806 At this time, Major General Liu Bingren did not know that he had been promoted to major general, and he docked in Istanbul of the Ottoman Empire to make a friendly visit to the Ottoman Empire.In fact, the Ottoman Empire, in all fairness, they were quite enlightened, as long as they were not on the battlefield, the Ottomans would appear enthusiastic, cheerful, and generous, and they would be as cold and bloodthirsty as they were on the battlefield.The Ming Dynasty had good diplomatic relations with the Ottomans, but in the Apocalypse and Chongzhen dynasties, diplomacy was interrupted, and the Ottoman Sultan was both happy and surprised to see the arrival of the Ming fleet, giving the visiting delegation a very high standard of reception, and allowing them to visit Istanbul's madrasas, mosques and royal libraries.The Ottomans' luxurious and elegant buildings and prosperous cities made the Ming envoys full of praise, and the collection of books in the royal library made them even more amazed, and they deeply realized that the Ming Dynasty was not the only one in this world, at least the Ottoman Empire was not inferior to the Ming in many fields, and even surpassed!
