Half a month laterthe Ottoman border city was still in peace.
Immediately afterwards they noticed that countless military horses began to cross the bridge and attacked the outpost, and then began to launch an offensive.
The border of more than 100 kilometers is full of beacon fires, the roar of artillery, and the smoke of gunfire.
Once the huge cannon arrived at the city and roared, the defenders abandoned their armor and fled.
¡¡
Istanbul.
This huge capital city spans two continents and is the center of the entire world island.
At this time I just received a letter of war about the Ming Dynasty.
The Ottoman army has just experienced a war with Spain. In North Africa, the war is still continuing. At this time, the Ottoman navy has also been destroyed.
Although each other is still exhausted, the offensive has begun to stall.
But at this time, Suleiman after learning that Daming was adding insult to injury, he suddenly became furious.
He immediately summoned his ministers and ascended the throne in the newly built Jinluan Hall in the palace.
He is an ambitious person. Even if he encounters such a big event, he still behaves calmly.
Now that Confucianism has been promoted for a long time, the civil and military officials have begun to look like they have some appearance. Everyone bowed down and shouted long live, but Suleiman only nodded.
Immediately
The palace became quiet.
But at this moment, Li Zheng, the Minister of Rites, stood up.
Li Zheng was hit hard in the Ming Dynasty. After returning to China, he finally slowly regained Suleiman's trust.
In fact, Suleiman knew very well Li Zheng's abilities may be mediocre and he also likes to talk empty words, but such a person is exactly what he needs.
Sometimespeople always need to keep some waste around them.
For no other reason
Just because there is no shortage of capable people in this world.
But talented people are often arrogant and arrogant, and they are often disrespectful even to the emperor.
Thereforewith a waste like Li Zheng around, and beating him every once in a while, I can just sit back and relax.
Therefore, after Li Zheng's strategy failed in the Ming Dynasty, not only was he not punished, but he also regained his trust and became the Minister of Rites.
At this time, Li Zheng walked into the hall, and then bowed down, knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, prostrate on the ground, but did not get up.
The Ming Dynasty in this era is not like a certain dynasty in later generations, who bows down at every turn.
There is something special about kneeling down and worshiping.
¡°For examplewhen you meet the emperor on a normal day, just bow and salute.
If it is an important occasion, it is necessary to kneel down and salute.
Of coursethis does not mean kneeling all the time, but standing up as soon as the prayer is over.
The so-called etiquette, in fact, also pays attention to the point.
Therefore, in many court paintings, when the emperor of the Ming Dynasty traveled, few ministers knelt down and worshiped, but most of them just stood and attended.
But after Confucian scholars like Li Zheng arrived in Ottoman, they thought this was inappropriate.
The Ottoman emperor is such a saint, and can be compared with the most holy king in ancient times.
Since this is the case, then it is appropriate to bow down to the ground to show the obedience of the ministers.
After Li Zheng saluted, he did not stand up, but continued to kneel down, and then said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Ming Dynasty declared war on me, the Ottomans. It is ridiculous that the Ming Emperor is so cruel, like a clown. Now the bandit army is approaching. I sincerely ask your Majesty to grant you I have a partial army, and I will protect and teach the bandit army that they will never come back."
Suleiman was extremely satisfied with Li Zheng¡¯s attitude.
Not only was he respectful, but he was also able to say such beautiful words at such a critical moment.
In fact, Suleiman was not unaware of the flattery in his words.
But Suleiman also needs to use Li Zheng¡¯s words to appease people¡¯s hearts.
Suleiman asked: "How long will it take for them to declare war and mobilize their troops?"
Li Zheng and others said one after another: "Your Majesty, it may not be possible to succeed without a year and a half."
"How about crossing the desert and Gobi between the two countries?"
"Your Majesty, this is hard to say."
The officials said to each other one after another: "This is a natural chasm. It is extremely difficult. I'm afraid that within a year or two, we may not be able to mobilize a large army and march to the city."
Suleiman smiled. He was a man who was good at using soldiers.
Naturallyhe also deeply agrees with this.
Marching and mobilizing troopsTeam, how can it be so easy.
It will take more than half a year for the Ottomans to assemble a large army. This involves the transportation of countless money and grain, and the gathering of armies from all walks of life. This cannot be done at once.
What¡¯s more, the other party is going on an expedition. To a certain extent, Osman has a huge advantage.
There¡¯s still enough time.
Seeing that Li Zheng had asked for a fight, the Hanlin officials became excited at this moment. Not willing to lag behind, they all said: "Your Majesty, please go to the border town in person and fight to the death with the thieves."
"Thieves love great achievements. It is said that if you are warlike, you will perish. This is an ancient saying. Today they are coming. We have taken advantage of the location and taught them to die without a burial place."
Suleiman¡¯s complexion improved slightly.
Then he turned his head and looked at other local old ministers. These old ministers seemed to want to say something and show some loyalty. However, the Confucian ministers were making noises, and they were all excited. They all quoted scriptures and talked, but they didn't know. It's time to say something.
Suleiman smiled and said: "I have always been in harmony with the Ming Dynasty. Who would have thought that the Ming Dynasty is so ambitious that it is intolerable to provoke side provocations"
He was halfway through speaking, and at this moment
An eunuch came hurriedly from outside and said in a high-pitched voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty urgent report, urgent report, Baku is asking for help."

This time everyone was stunned.
Nowadays, what Suleiman hates most is being interrupted when he is talking. In the past, he often encountered such situations with those Kashas, ??but since the Confucian officials entered the court, he began to enjoy everyone talking when he was talking. The feeling of always listening.
But now
He suddenly stood up with a sullen face.
Because he couldn't care about anything at this time.
Baku¡
Baku is the location of the Ottoman border town!
This place is close to the Caspian Sea, between the Ming Dynasty and the Ottoman Empire, bypassing the desert and a blank area of ??grassland.
There are many nomadic tribes here.
But once you cross this area, you will reach Baku, the important Ottoman town.
But how is this possible?
When the war book set off from Daming, only four months had passed!
¡°Four months¡¯ time is enough¡¡±
"Is it a small group of Ming troops attacking?"
"No." The eunuch said with a mournful face: "Baku Kasha reported that Ming troops were everywhere, blocking the sky. Not only Baku, but also the nearby fortresses were attacked within a few days. Baku It is already in danger and may even be lost now.¡±
Suleiman¡¯s face suddenly turned miserable!
He couldn¡¯t understand why the army gathered so quickly?
Where did their supplies come from?
This is a run of thousands of miles.
Suleiman shuddered, and then his eyes fell on the ministers.
Li Zheng was confused.
At this time, he never mentioned anything about bringing a partial army to resist the Ming army.
After a long time, he said: "The Ming Army the Ming Army the Ming Army rushed thousands of miles this this it must be difficult for them to supply. Your Majesty, as long as the walls are clear and the country is clear, and they can avoid fighting, they will be able to teach them teach them Come here with good fortune and return with bad luck."
????????????????? But the Hanlin officials were all silent, you looked at me, I looked at you.
Suleiman¡¯s face was ashen: ¡°Preach the decree and summon the army¡±
¡¡¡¡
In fact, by the time Baku¡¯s request for help was sent to Istanbul, the Ming army had not only broken through Baku, but had penetrated hundreds of miles into enemy territory.
Cities one after another were destroyed.
The army and horses entered the city, and then all the local Confucian scholars gathered together. These trembling Confucian scholars knelt down by the roadside, welcomed Master Wang, and said words of compliment and respect.
Fortunatelythe army entered the city and did not start killing.
Instead, he immediately posted the announcement to calm the people.
Immediately the treasury began to be sealed, and all order was re-established.
Although the Confucian scholars could not resist the Ming army, they played a huge role in settling the people for the Ming army.
They immediately began to preach the policies of the Ming army throughout the city, saying that as long as they did not resist, they would never invade.
If there are thieves in the city who dare to disrupt the order, they will be killed without mercy.
The household register in Baku has been processed and order was quickly restored.
All the nobles and wealthy households in the city were also invited so that they did not have to worry.
These soldiers of the new army were garrisoned inside and outside the city. Their military discipline was strict and there was almost no sign of rebellion.
So the people in Baku city finally breathed a sigh of relief. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)All the rich and wealthy families were invited to go so that they didn't have to worry.
