Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Because the teaching of the true God told everyone: "He once allowed the two seas to meet and meet. There is a dike between the two seas, and the two seas do not invade each other."

Suleiman wanted to dig the Suez Canal again, which was tantamount to violating the teachings of the true God. Neither Murad IV nor Ibrahim I could agree.

Especially Ibrahim I, the sultan who fell into the hands of his harem cronies and companions, baoru, mutes, eunuchs and women, who let them make a mess of everything, and the whole Ottoman Empire began to feel a little bit unstable.

Sometimes, Suleiman even wondered why the orders given by Murad IV before his death were not carried out?

How ridiculous is it to let the insane Ibrahim I inherit the position of Sultan?

However, fortunately, this order was not carried out, and Ibrahim has no son yet...

Because if this order is really carried out, the result will be that the reign of Ibrahim I has been announced to end before it has time to start, which also means the break of the Ottoman royal family's successor lineage.

Suleiman sometimes thought bitterly, it would be better to let that idiot Ibrahim continue to indulge in the harem, without him adding to the chaos, Lord Grand Vizier would definitely lead everyone and make the Ottoman Empire once again Get stronger.

However, just relying on the strength on land, is it really powerful?If so, how could some North African pirates show off their power under the banner of Ottoman?

After finally waiting until today, there is hope to see the possibility of the re-excavation of the Suez Canal, how could Suleiman not be excited.

While Suleiman was looking up and down Li Chengyan, Li Chengyan was also looking up and down Suleiman.

Suleiman's face shape was similar to that of many Mughal people Li Chengyan had seen before, similar with minor differences, the only distinctive feature was the slightly curly beard, unlike other people's smooth beard.

After greeting each other, and after Li Chengyan expressed his long admiration and other courtesy, Suleiman entered the Ming army's camp at Li Chengyan's invitation and participated in their dinner.

After Suleiman made it clear that he could not drink alcohol because of his beliefs, Li Chengyan stopped trying to persuade him, but said in deliberation: "Mr. Suleiman, you must already know our reason for coming?"

Suleiman nodded: "Of course, and as far as I am concerned, I am very willing to facilitate this matter. Of course, whether it will be successful or not will ultimately depend on what the Sultan and Grand Vizier of our country mean. I personally There is no way to decide on such a big matter."

After a haha, Li Chengyan, who knew all of this by heart, flicked his sleeves, and a piece of emerald green jade came into Suleiman's hand and said: "Li also knows Mr. Suleiman's difficulties, so naturally he doesn't want to To make things difficult for you.

As long as this thing can succeed, silver coins?Or something else, the commodity or material you want to get?For example, longevity cream and this kind of jade, as long as you open your mouth, everything is not a problem. "

Suleiman put away the jade calmly, as if this piece of jade had never appeared before, which opened Li Chengyan's eyes—it turns out that these Ottoman officials have the same virtue as the Ming officials. !

Suleiman smiled and said, "Regardless of whether this matter will succeed in the end, I will definitely try my best to facilitate this matter. Mr. Li can rest assured!"

Li Chengyan smiled happily, and Suleiman also smiled happily.

The piece of jade that I just bought, from the color and the feel when I first bought it, Suleiman can easily judge that it is a piece of top-grade jade.

Such a piece of jade may not be considered a big deal in the eyes of some ignorant people, but if it is really auctioned in a big city, the value will double and increase.

In particular, I originally wanted to restart the Suez Canal, but my own people were so soft-spoken that there was no way to facilitate this matter, so it has been delayed.

Right now, these Daming people have almost become the best excuse—they have contracted this piece of land, and it is their business that they are willing to dig the canal, but when the contracting time comes, the canal will fall into their own hands?

In this way, the canal can be restarted, and he can confess to the Grand Vizier, and even have more silver coins in his pocket.

Such a good thing, I really can't come across it several times in my life!

In the dead of night, the moon hung high in the sky, and some unknown bugs also started making various chirps, which made people feel a little annoyed.

Li Chengyan didn't care about being upset, but pulled several officials from the Ministry of Industry to ponder together.

Song Yunxian, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, yawned, and the words I was very angry were almost engraved on his face: "Master Li, the matter of the canal is really not that simple.

First of all, we need to know what the opposite sea looks like, how it is different from this side, and the embankments along the way on both sides, whether they just need to be excavated or need to be completely re-excavated, all these have to wait for me and my colleagues to explore You will find out later.

You ask me to give you an explanation right now, I want to give you an explanation, but where do you go?

If the official said that the excavation can be done, but in the end it can't be done, and His Majesty pursues the responsibility, whose responsibility is it?Is it yours or mine? "

Li Chengyan said: "It's not about the project of the entire canal, but about the section we're passing through right now. Is there any problem?"

Song Yunxian thought about it and said: "I can't see anything right now - if you only look at the section in front of you, then there is no problem. As long as there are enough people and ships, this section of the canal can be cleaned up again.

The difficulty is that the entire canal, especially this kind of canal that communicates between two oceans, can be dug up and opened again, but it is really hard to say. "

Li Chengyan asked suspiciously: "What happened between the two oceans? What's the difference between the two larger lakes?"

Song Yunxian said: "Then the difference is huge!

There are big and small between two larger lakes, and the water surface is also high and low, let alone between two oceans?If the water surfaces of the two oceans are uneven, the more will be filled with the less.

In this way, how much trouble will it cause? For the time being, can the embankment of this canal alone bear it?Even if it can bear it, how can it be navigated before the water between the two oceans is filled?Even if it passes by water, how can it come back?

It's okay to say that the water speed is slow, but what if it is fast?What if the water potential is too great?How many people will die as a result? "

Li Chengyan said with a gloomy expression: "Why do you care how many people he died? The left and right are just some savages, and they die as soon as they die, and I don't need you or me to feel sorry for them."

Song Yunxian poohed and said, "It's because you still read the sage's book! Even if you and I don't care, even if the whole world doesn't care about these barbarians, do you want the land on these two sides?"

Li Chengyan was choked immediately—the barbarian's life was in Li Chengyan's eyes, but it was actually worthless, unless it was used to do coolies.

In fact, even the lives of common people in Ming Dynasty were nothing in Li Chengyan's eyes. Even among the hundreds of schools of thought, only a few well-known schools, such as the peasant family and the Mohist school, cared about the lives of common people.

Most of the rest were not life-threatening, either as numbers or as tools.

But in the eyes of strategists, stirring up the world is just a means, what is the goal?

It is great unification, harmony, and the unity of the world.

If all these lands were destroyed, then his own crime would be serious. Even if these lands are not yet owned by Daming, he should not be too presumptuous and flood so many fields, right?

After pondering for a long while, Li Chengyan cupped his hands and said, "It's my official Meng Lang. This will not happen again next time. I hope Master Song will forgive me?"

Song Yunxian saw that Li Chengyan's attitude was very good, but he didn't take it too seriously, and immediately cupped his hands and said: "Song also knows what Mr. Li is anxious about, but I still have a word, I want to persuade you."

Li Chengyan said solemnly: "Master Song, please tell me?"

Song Yunxian said: "Today's tigers look at the world and the world, and want to follow the example of the first emperor in the world, so it's a bit careless to act.

Now there is no problem within my Ming Dynasty, Duogansi and Wu Sizang are no problem, Liaodong is also no problem, only a small group of Jian slaves are left on the Nurgan Dusi side.

But what about in practice?

Liaodong is fine, how many Ming people live on the Leshi Grassland?How many people does Nurgandusi have?

North Korea and Ryukyu are fine, and Luzon and Java don't talk about him, but what about Myanmar?Do you want to relocate people?And those lands that have just been occupied, are the people going to be relocated?

Adding up these many things, which one does not require money?No matter how much money there is in the treasury and internal funds, can it be supported at the same time?

Right now, Daming is like flowers cooking oil in a brocade fire. The reason why there have been no problems until now is that His Majesty's prestige is so strong that no one in the world dares to doubt it, and the other is that the constant battles and interests have suppressed this everything.

Just to say something rebellious and immoral, have you not seen the matter of Di Xin?

Since we are ministers, we must not turn a blind eye to all these, and must advise the emperor.As a descendant of the vertical and horizontal school, how could Mr. Li fail to see this? "
