    In the study room of the Palace of Qianqing, as usual, after Emperor Hongzhi finished his morning dynasty, he left the cabinet minister, the six ministers, and the governor of the fifth army Zhang Mao to stay to discuss national affairs.

    "Your Majesty, news came yesterday that my Ming Dynasty's fleet to support Spain in Europe is about to arrive in Europe. The fleet has carried out many pirate operations on the east coast of Africa and the Atlantic Ocean, dealing a heavy blow to European pirates."

    "However, according to the news coming back from Europe, Spain seems to be almost unable to withstand it. Britain, France, and Portugal are attacking Spain at the same time. Their king has sent a letter asking for help to our Ming Dynasty."

    Zhang Mao held a memorial in his hand and reported to Emperor Hongzhi.

    The war in Europe is now in full swing. Because they are dissatisfied with the "Penglai Agreement" signed between the Spanish and the Ming Dynasty, and they are also jealous of Spain's exclusive trade rights with the Ming Dynasty, France, Britain, and Portugal also jointly sent troops to attack Spain.

    This war has lasted for nearly a year. The two sides fought from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel, and even reached the Spanish colony on the Golden Continent. On land, the borders from France and Spain have reached  Within the borders of Spain.

    Xiba Ya was very powerful at this time. Not only did it have this powerful maritime power, but its land power was also quite powerful. Relying on sea trade with the Ming Dynasty, it gained huge profits and wealth.  It's been more than a year.

    But after all, it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands, not to mention that they are fighting three countries at the same time. The French on land have always been a military power in Europe. As for the British pirates, although their strength is not good, pirates are disgusting.  , the Portuguese are ambitious and their maritime strength will not be worse than Spain.

    The battle between the two sides also made Spain very uncomfortable, and now it is almost unable to hold on.

    "Well, let's proceed as planned."

    "Spain still has to help. Without the Spaniards to support us from the front, there will be no peace in these colonial strongholds on the east coast of Golden Continent."

    Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly, thought about it and said.

    "Yes~"

    Zhang Mao nodded immediately.

    Supporting Spain is a strategy that has been formulated at the beginning of the year. Spain recognizes Ming¡¯s sovereignty over Golden Continent, and Ming also recognizes Spain as Ming¡¯s only trading partner in Europe.

    The two sides also joined forces to eliminate the colonial strongholds of European countries on the east coast of the Golden Continent, ensuring that Ming Dynasty monopolizes the Golden Continent, so helping is still helpful, and a chaotic Europe is more in line with Ming's interests.

    "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Ottoman Empire sent a mission to our country, requesting that our country delimit the territory of the Khazar Sea (Caspian Sea) with our country, and at the same time requiring that our country must stop contact with Persia and the Mamluk Kingdom of Egypt."

    ¡°In addition, the Ottoman Empire also requires trade with our Ming Dynasty, hoping to obtain our Ming Dynasty¡¯s exclusive trade rights with Europe.¡±

    After Zhang Mao finished talking about the Spanish people in Europe, Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, stood up and said again.

    Recently, the Ottoman Empire¡¯s mission arrived at the Ming Dynasty¡¯s capital and handed over to the Ming Empire a letter from the Ottoman Emperor to Emperor Hongzhi. At the same time, they also formally made their demands to the Ming Empire.

    "Delimit the territory of the Khazar Sea?"

    When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he frowned slightly. Xiao Jing was very attentive and immediately ordered someone to spread out a map of Central Asia.

    "Your Majesty, this is the Khazar Sea. Its northeastern side belongs to the Kazakh Khanate, and its due east is the Hezhong area belonging to our Ming Dynasty. This year, our Ming Dynasty will attack the Kazakh Khanate, Shaibani Khanate, Timur  The Khanate carried out military strikes and also captured the vast area in the southern part of the Khazar Sea, and the farthest border area was already bordering the Ottoman Empire."

    Opening the map, Zhang Sheng came to the map, pointed at the area on the map and started explaining.

    "The Khazar Sea, isn't this the Caspian Sea?"

    Liu Jin looked at the map and recognized it at once. This sea was the Caspian Sea. However, it was not called the Caspian Sea during this period, but the Khazar Sea. Caspian Sea is the English name, and Khazar Sea is the Turkic name.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that my Ming Dynasty actually borders the Ottoman Empire. This territory is big enough!¡±

    Then Liu Jin couldn't help laughing again. Logically speaking, the Ming Dynasty and the Ottoman Empire were separated by hundreds of thousands of miles. Unexpectedly, the Ming Dynasty continued to expand westward and unknowingly bordered the Ottoman Empire. Although looking at it now, this border  The local area is still very small, just a small area in the southern part of the Caspian Seanbsp; "It actually requires our Ming Dynasty not to trade with other countries, but also to hand over exclusive trading rights to their Ottoman Empire. It is a beautiful idea."

    Li Dongyang also said angrily.

    It has been a long time since any country dared to speak to Ming Dynasty like this. You must know that no matter which country comes to Ming Dynasty now, it is respectful to Ming Dynasty and does not dare to offend Ming Dynasty in the slightest.

    Many small countries even cried out to become vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, because in this way they would not have to worry about being attacked by the Ming Dynasty's private colonial groups and colonial trading houses, and they could also enjoy many benefits, but the Ming Dynasty did not  He would accept vassal states casually.

    Many small countries in Southeast Asia rejected the Ming Dynasty, but now they feel regretful.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
