Musa returned to Edirne, knowing that he would be punished by Muhammad I if he failed to buy food and cloth.
Therefore, as soon as he met Muhammad I, Musa immediately placed all the blame on Ming Dynasty.
"The great Caliph, the people of Ming Dynasty are as arrogant as lone wolves in the desert. They have no respect for the Caliph at all..."
Mohammed I suppressed the imperial rebellion, expelled the Venetians entrenched in the Aegean Sea, and built fortresses on the Danube River to attack the Hungarians.
The Ottoman Empire was a dominant force in the Aegean Sea, and even the Byzantines did not dare to provoke them.
Muhammad I had never experienced such humiliation, so he immediately ordered a fleet to attack the Ming Dynasty.
"Great Caliph, the Ming Dynasty is the most powerful empire in the world. Even the Tamerlane Empire is no match for them. A rash war may bring disaster to the Ottomans." Bayezid, another nobleman who was hostile to Musa, immediately Speak out against it.
Bayezid has assisted Muhammad I since his time as prince, helping him defeat other princes, suppress rebellions, and unify the empire, with outstanding achievements.
But even so, Muhammad I did not give up the idea of attacking the Ming Dynasty.
Musa immediately said: "Although the Ming Dynasty is powerful, they are far away in the far east, and only a small part of them are left in Tianfang. Caliph, even if we are not necessarily the opponents of the Ming Empire, aren't we still the opponents of the Ming people in Tianfang?" ?"
Muhammad I was very proud and arrogant, and originally wanted to send troops to vent his anger. Now that I heard Musa's instigation, I was even more determined.
Bayezid quickly advised: "Caliph, you must not easily turn against the Ming Empire..."
Muhammad I interrupted him loudly and shouted: "Even the Ming Empire must obey the orders of this Sultan when they come to the Aegean Sea."
"Come here, the Ming Dynasty who ordered the fleet to attack Tianfang!"
Between the Ottoman Empire and Tianfang, there was also the territory of the Timurid Empire. Although Timur's empire is now in chaos, there is no problem for a small number of caravans to pass, but it is impossible for a large army to pass.
If Ottoman wanted to attack Tianfang, he could only rely on the sea fleet.
Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Bayezid had no choice but to sigh sadly and retreat. Seeing Musa walking out of the palace arrogantly, he quickly followed him out, stopped Musa and said: "Your recklessness will bring disaster to Osman."
Musa shook his head disapprovingly, "Bayezid, you are old and no longer have the courage of the Lion of the Empire. A little bit of Ming Dynasty will scare you. You are not worthy of sitting on the pasha's seat. You should take the initiative to take this seat Step aside and let me serve as the imperial pasha."
Bayezid took a deep look at Musa and said with great dissatisfaction: "Being a pasha is very simple, as long as the caliph agrees. If you want, just go and talk to the caliph. However, you should never put the empire Dragged into danger.”
"Danger?" Musa laughed, "Where does the danger come from? Just by those Ming people in Tianfang?"
Seeing that Bayezid wanted to speak, Moussa immediately blocked his words with his hand and said bluntly: "Don't talk about the Ming Empire. The Ming Empire has never appeared in the Aegean Sea. Even if they appeared, They will also be driven into the sea to feed the fish by the Caliph’s powerful fleet.”
After saying that, Musa was too lazy to pay attention to Bayezid and turned to leave.
Before leaving, he seemed to have thought of something. He turned back and said with a chuckle: "As you said, if you want to stop the fleet from attacking the Ming Dynasty, you can just convince the Caliph. Go ahead!"
...
"Master, urgent military report." He Rong hurried in, holding a military report in his hand.
Han Du looked at him doubtfully, feeling a little puzzled, and laughed unexpectedly, "I am not here under the order of the court. Shouldn't you report any military reports to the court?"
My trip this time was considered a private move, and I just wanted to avoid the troubles in the capital. If I interfere in affairs myself, I'm afraid it will be true.
Therefore, Han Du was not willing to take care of the affairs of the Governor's Mansion.
He Rong's face was full of anxiety, and he quickly stood up and sighed loudly: "Oh, sir, when did this happen? If we wait for the military report to be sent back to the court, and then wait for the court's order, then I am afraid that all the seven governor's mansions in Tianfang will be in danger."
"It's an urgent matter, please make up your mind as soon as possible."
"So serious? What happened?" Han Du's face changed slightly.
He Rong immediately presented the general's report with both hands, "Master, please take a look at it."
Han Du had a sullen face, thought for a moment, and reached out his hand to take it without hesitation.
Han Du was more concerned about the safety of the Seventh Governor's Mansion in Tianfang than talking about it. These Tianfang Governor's Mansions are not only the bridgehead for the Ming Dynasty to go west to the ocean in the future, but also a barrier to protect Hurumos.
If the Tianfang Governor's Mansion is lost, then Hulumos will be directly exposed to the threat of others. Now Khrumos is the headquarters of Sihai Commercial Bank. Bafanghui has invested tens of millions of dollars in it, and it is impossible to give it up.
"...The Ottomans came from the sea to besiege the Governor's Palace in Aleppo. I rushed to my rescue immediately after receiving the news, but the Ottomans had many troops, including muskets, artillery and war beasts... After three days of fierce fighting The Governor's Palace in Aleppo fell and he temporarily retreated to Tianfang..."
After reading it, Han Du suddenly said angrily: "Is Osman crazy? Why did he suddenly send an army of 300,000 to attack Aleppo?"
Although most of them are slave legions, these are 300,000 troops after all.
No matter how sophisticated the equipment of the Ming army was, and no matter how powerful the revolver was, it could not withstand such a human sea tactic.
After all, the ants kill the elephant.
The power of current firearms has not yet reached the point where the generation gap has completely widened. Unless Zhu Yunye agrees to place the fire dragon cannon in Tianfang.
But this is simply impossible. The Fire Dragon Cannon shocked the world as soon as it was released. Zhu Yunye couldn't wait to hold it in his hands. How could the Fire Dragon Cannon be leaked?
At this time, Yu Qian interjected: "Teacher, is it related to those Ottoman businessmen some time ago?"
Han Du was silent and thought for a while. The only people who could have anything to do with Osman during this period of time were those businessmen.
"Are you saying that Osman sent a large army to retaliate because a business deal was not concluded? Is the leader of the country full of water?"
"But teacher, apart from this reason, there can be no other reasons." Yu Qian said.
Han Du lowered his head with a headache. Yu Qian was right, this might be the only reason.
He Rong couldn't care less about finding the reason. He wanted to know what to do now?
"My lord, there is still a fierce battle in Tianfang. There is no time to report to the court. Please give me your instructions!"
Han Du immediately cheered up and said in a deep voice: "There is no room for failure, we must save!"
"But, how to save it?" He Rong felt that the matter was very difficult. "The official only has two thousand men and horses. Even if we invest them all, it will be a drop in the bucket!"
"Don't move your men and horses." Han Du waved his hand and rejected He Rong's proposal. Hulumos still needed the protection of these men and horses and could not be transferred to Tianfang at all.
After pondering for a while, Han Du said: "Isn't it just a slave army? Isn't it just a human sea tactic? Then let's compete with Osman to see who has more people!"
"What do you mean, sir?" He Rong was very puzzled. He and others did not have a slave army in their hands.
It turned out that there were Japanese slaves, but they were all used up in attacking Timur's empire. Otherwise, if there were those 800,000 Japanese slaves, Ottoman would not even have the courage to attack.
Han Du suddenly thought, "Immediately send someone to the Mamluk Dynasty and tell Faraji that the Ming Dynasty helped her to restore the country, and now it is her turn to help the Ming Dynasty." Got it!"
He Rong's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Why did Xianguan forget about them? Xianguan will do it now."
Just as he turned around, He Rong paused again, turned around and asked hesitantly: "Master, they paid the price back then. Now we ask them for help. What should we do if they add insult to injury?"
Indeed, in order to get Ming Dynasty to send troops, Faraji almost emptied the national treasury and even paid hundreds of thousands of slaves. Now it is obviously impossible to ask the Mamluk Dynasty for help.
"No matter what conditions they have, I agree!" Han Du said without hesitation.
After hearing this, Yu Qian looked at Han Du doubtfully. This was not the teacher's style at all.
He couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Teacher, what if they want to return the land in Tianfang? You know, these lands once belonged to them."
Han Du put his hands behind his back and said to Yu Qian: "Remember, everything in this world is taken by force, not by words."
"As long as they dare to put forward conditions, I dare to agree. As for whether they can get the land in the end, it depends on their ability. The most important thing now is to let them send troops to repel the Ottomans."
"Students understand." Yu Qian suddenly understood what the previous teacher had said.
What are the rules? Rules are made by the strong to restrain the weak. As long as you are strong enough, you can make any rules that benefit you. On the contrary, as long as you are not strong enough, you can only be bound by the rules.
If the rules are like this, it will soon be an agreement?
...
"Great Sultan, you summoned me?" Mirasha, wearing a gorgeous leather armor, came to the palace and bowed to Faraij sitting on the throne.
After the Mamluk dynasty moved south, the environment became hotter. If you wore iron armor, you might be burned by the hot armor, so Mirasha changed to leather armor.
Looking at the slightly older Mirasha, Faraji was still charming and charming as always, and did not stretch his waist lazily as usual.
Instead, he had a heavy expression on his face, and a moment later he let out a heavy sigh:
"Here he comes again!"
