In the palace of the Ottoman Empire, Selim I was waiting anxiously.
The bad news is one after another. The Persians and Egyptians used their own strength to seize the Mesopotamia and are attacking the province of Asia Minor with the intention of seizing the vast land of the Ottoman Empire in Asia.
To the west, the coalition forces of several European countries are constantly recovering the previously lost land, and are also attacking the Greek Peninsula. The locals in the Greek Peninsula are also revolting, cooperating with the European coalition forces inside and outside, preparing to expel the rule of the Ottoman Empire and restore Christianity. The glory of the world.
The Crimean Tatars, who were driven into the Danube River Basin by the Ming Dynasty, were not to be outdone. They added insult to injury and expanded their grasslands and pastures across the Danube River.
The Spaniards burned, killed, and looted everywhere along the Aegean Sea, seized islands, and plundered wealth and population. What the Ottoman pirates did before, the Spaniards now returned to the Ottoman Empire intact.
Robbery ports and cities, plunder people and sell them into slaves, and make a lot of money.
Without the protection of the navy, the coastal areas of the Ottoman Empire were like undefended mountains of gold and silver, allowing the Spanish to plunder wantonly. Even Japanese pirates began to focus on this place and appeared in the coastal areas.
Of course, these are nothing. What he really cares about is whether Ali Pasha can successfully negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty, as long as the Ming Dynasty people are willing to cease the war and withdraw their troops.
Relying on the troops in his hands, coupled with the tribal armies and noble armies from various parts of the Ottoman Empire, he is still confident that he can repel enemies from all directions. After all, they are all defeated.
"Great Sultan, they are back, they are back~"
At this time, someone came to report in a hurry, which made Selim I who was waiting anxiously cheer up.
However, what is waiting is not good news, but bad news that the Ming people refuse peace talks.
"Great Sultan, the Ming Dynasty people bluntly said that peace talks are not that easy. If you want peace talks, you have to wait until the Ming Dynasty army reaches the gates of our capital."
Ali Pasha told Selim I the details of his peace talks.
"We'll have peace talks at the gates of Instanbul?"
强 牺     读 牺 。 Selim I heard it on his throne.
¡°If we really wait until all the armies of the Ming Empire have reached the gates of Instanbul, what will be the point of peace talks?
The Ottoman Empire could just wait for its demise.
Enemies from all directions, the tribal leaders and feudal military nobles who are ready to move internally are all waiting for the opportunity to replace themselves.
This time .com Zhang Si. Turks have not lacked ambitious people since ancient times.
"No, we must not let the Ming army attack our capital city. In that case, the majesty of our Ottoman Empire will be gone."
Selim I said very exaggeratedly.
So far in the war, the Ottoman Empire has suffered heavy losses. More than 300,000 elite troops from the east and west have been wiped out, and the navy has been wiped out.
The Ottoman Empire has only this last fig leaf left, and only the 200,000 elite troops in the capital are left as a fig leaf.
If the Ming Dynasty were to kill them here.
No matter what happens by then, the face of the Ottoman Empire will be completely lost.
Last time, the fleet of the Ming Dynasty was sent to the Sea of ??Marmara and bombarded Instanbul, but at least the army did not come over.
"Great Sultan, this time the Ming people are really angry and will not give up easily."
"However, it can be seen that the Ming people still need our Ottoman Empire to contain all parties here, and they also need our Ottoman Empire to fight enemies from all directions. This will benefit the interests of the Ming Empire."
"I thought that after they arrived at the city of Instanbul, they would just bombard us with their heads high and humiliate our Ottoman Empire."
"They will not really attack our capital. They still need to keep us so that they can continue to pay compensation to them and contain all parties."
"So I think that we should dispatch the 200,000 troops guarding the capital to each battlefield to stabilize the situation in other places first. As for the Ming people, we can slowly negotiate with them."
After pondering for a long time, Ali Pasha made a surprising statement. He actually proposed to send the army guarding the capital to all parties to support the battlefields of all parties, leaving an empty city for the Ming people.
"But if the Ming people really attack us,What about the capital city? "
"When all the troops are dispatched, what can we do to resist them?"
A minister asked quickly.
"Do you think our remaining 200,000 troops can withstand the Ming Dynasty's attack?"
"The city of Erzinjan was built on natural dangers and guarded by 200,000 troops. It was captured by the Ming Dynasty in less than a day."
"The Ming Dynasty's artillery is so sharp and powerful that it is impossible for the defender to defend it."
"It's better not to keep it than to do this."
Ali Pasha asked immediately.
When the other party heard this, he was immediately speechless. The attack of the Ming Dynasty was undoubtedly extremely powerful. No matter the important fortresses on the east or west front, they could not withstand the attack of the Ming Iron Army.
The people of Ming Dynasty attacked the city and the ground, they were invincible and invincible. They were heading towards Instanbul. There was nothing that could resist the pace of the people of Ming Dynasty along the way.
"Your analysis still makes sense."
King Selim I thought for a long time and expressed his agreement.
The people of Ming Dynasty definitely want peace talks. Now they just want to humiliate the Ottoman Empire, and at the same time they also want to obtain more benefits at the negotiation table.
The Persians, Egyptians, Europeans, Spanish, etc., but they want to destroy the Ottoman Empire, as well as the tribal leaders, military nobles, etc. inside who are ready to move.
Control the big one and control the owl. The 200,000 elite army in his hand is the final trump card, and he still needs to rely on this 200,000 army to stabilize the situation.
"Report~"
At this moment, a messenger came in a hurry.

"The Ming fleet has arrived at the sea outside the capital!"
"What?"
¡°It came so quickly!¡±
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but take a breath.
The speed of the Ming Dynasty is really too fast. How long did it take for the war to begin?
The armies of the Ming Empire moved extremely quickly, sneak-attacking the Ottoman Empire's navy, and rushing here. All of this was completed within a few days. Now they are directly at Instanbul, and can be bombarded at any time. Instanbul.
?Looking at the east and west armies of the Ming Dynasty on land, they were also rushing towards Instanbul. They did not encounter any decent resistance along the way, and no one dared to resist their front.
Sea of ??Marmara, the sea area outside the city of Instanbul.
Dozens of steam warships and hundreds of small warships were cruising on the sea, heading toward Instanbul in a mighty, powerful and murderous manner.
All the warships lined up in a row, each heavy cannon exposed its ferocious, black muzzle, aiming at the capital of the Ottoman Empire, preparing to bombard it fiercely.
"Haha, in the end our navy was faster. We arrived at the capital of the Ottoman Empire first."
Deng Cheng looked at the Ottoman capital with a telescope.
"Tsk tsk, it is indeed known as the most dangerous city in the world. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides. The only place connected to the land is extremely dangerous and has extremely strong city wall defense."
"It is said that Mohammed II of the Ottoman Empire besieged this city for several months. In the end, he relied on his absolute superiority in military strength to capture the city and destroy the Eastern Roman Empire."
"What a pity, it is aimed at land defense. For our navy, it is surrounded by water on three sides, so we can bombard it as much as we want."
"Give me the order!"
"Immediately prepare for bombardment, tear away the last fig leaf of the Ottoman Empire, aim at the position of the Ottoman Empire's palace, and hit me hard."
Deng Cheng doesn¡¯t care about so many things, he¡¯s already here, so naturally he won¡¯t come in vain.
The artillery shells we carry are many and heavy. If we don¡¯t destroy some, wouldn¡¯t the transportation be in vain?
Soon, Deng Cheng¡¯s order was issued.
On the battleships on the sea, cannons were aimed at the capital of the Ottoman Empire.
"Three rapid fire shots!"
"Ready, fire!"
Soon, with the waving of the small flags in the hands of the commanders on the warships, the deafening sound of cannons resounded through the sky, billowing smoke rose in the sea, and cannonballs roared in the sky and fell towards Instanbul. .
¡°Hu~hu~¡±
The whistling sound of artillery shells resounded through the sky, and then fell heavily into the city.
"Boom~Boom!"
A series of shocking loud noises and terrifying explosions resounded in the city, immediately completely disrupting the originally peaceful and prosperous capital city. Zhi Da Zhi Xiao
¡°Boom~boom~¡±
Cannonballs fell one after another towards the city, exploding continuously and turning a large number of buildings into ruins.
The palace, which was under special care, was even more intensively shelled. The luxurious palace was in ruins in an instant, and panicked people were scurrying around like headless flies.
As for the Sultan and ministers of the Ottoman Empire, they hid under the solid ground immediately. While listening to the deafening explosions, they looked at the falling mud and dust. At this moment, all ambitions disappeared. It's clean
