Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is good. It is a proper military book for governing the country and fighting wars. Its effect has been tested by two generations of Jiannu Laobopi and Xiaohan Huang Taiji. The effect is good, and it is a product of reliable quality.

It is conceivable that after Osman and Manguer, those who are interested in countries with many conflicts, will actually come up with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and even the Spring and Autumn and Warring States in advance after getting these two books, but it is really hard to say.

Of course, no matter how chaotic these places are, there is no problem. Anyway, it has nothing to do with Emperor Chongzhen.

And "Water Margin" is even more important.

First of all, "Water Margin" is not "Water Margin of Loyalty" circulated by Ming Dynasty, but the product of castration.

Secondly, the castrated Arabic version of "Water Margin" is not allowed to be circulated back to Ming Dynasty.

Because Emperor Chongzhen planned to revise "Water Margin", cut off all chapters in it, such as Zhao'an, Zheng Liao, and suppression of Fang La, and also revise the content of anti-corrupt officials and not anti-emperor.

Anyway, there is Chen Mo, the censor, and Duan Xiaorong, who is good at writing Liu Bei's essays, in the imperial prison. It must be no problem for these two guys to work together to revise "Water Margin".

After all, these two guys can even make out the myth of the prehistoric, so what is it to change a mere Outlaws of the Marsh.

And without the content of being recruited, conquering Liao, and suppressing Fang La, which made foreigners unable to understand and not know what happened, the taste of the entire "Water Margin" changed immediately.

What if you can't live without food?Going uphill and falling grass!

What happened to being bullied by the government?Killing officials rebelled!

Even if the combined population of the Mughals and Ottomans is only 1000 million, only one of the 1 people can be selected to study "Water Margin" seriously and put it into action, that is a full 1000 people.

There are only [-] courageous people on Liangshan Po, and a group of more than a thousand individuals is equivalent to ten Liangshans—and the total area of ​​​​the Mughals and Ottomans is only large enough to hold ten Liangshanshui Are you doing something?

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen didn't care too much about those who couldn't fit.

Anyway, it's all the barbarians' own business. If you want to rebel, you can rebel. I still have business in Java, specializing in the sale of high-quality knives, swords, bows and armors, which are guaranteed to be no worse than the equipment of officers and soldiers.

What kind of chemical reaction will be produced by a Three Kingdoms and a Water Margin? Emperor Chongzhen didn't have the confidence in his heart, but once again called Zheng Zhilong, Nan Juyi and others together.

The reason is very simple. Emperor Chongzhen was not too worried about whether Mughal was staging the Three Kingdoms or Water Margin, but Mughal ceded such a large piece of land after all. Isn't it still Daming?

Simply, pack these people up and send them away in two ways, half of them will work as laborers for those guys from the Daming Railway Department and the Ministry of Communications, and the other part will wait to see how Osman reacts.

If Osman agrees to the proposal to lease the Suez Canal, the remaining half of the Mughals can be sent to dredge the river.

If Osman disagrees, these people will be sent back to Daming to repair the railway.

In fact, the entire Ottoman court has been noisy.

Naturally, Ibrahim I didn't feel much. He was obsessed with the harem and ignored the government all day long, just like Emperor Wanli of Ming Dynasty.

As for how the government will be, Ibrahim is not too concerned. Anyway, there are people in the harem to help him share his worries, and the Grand Vizier is also in charge of the government in the court, so there will be no problems.

As for Grand Vizier Mahmat, the question raised by Suleiman is also a headache.

Suleiman has long wanted to do something, and he has long thought about digging the Suez Canal. From the heart, Mehmet supports it.

However, it's useless to support it yourself-this kind of project violates the teachings of the true god and involves the need to recruit a large number of civilians to participate, and the cost is unknown. No one in Osman supports it.

Especially the Ottoman navy-assuming that the few ships that can be called the navy have no need for this at all!

In this case, restarting the Suez Canal has become an impossible thing.

But no matter how much Mehamati thought about it, he never expected that people from the Ming Dynasty would come to rent this place and re-excavate the Suez Canal.

Moreover, Suleiman also got two three-masted warships from the Ming people.

The two three-masted warships may not be a big deal to the Ming people, but they are very important to the navy of the Ottoman Empire-these two warships alone can blow up the entire navy of the Ottoman Empire before. !

Now that there are warships and there are so many benefits after the restart of the Suez Canal, Mahmat naturally wants to raise both hands in agreement.

However, his own identity restricts himself from doing so, and this is also where Mehmat has a headache.

If the official position of Grand Vizier was placed in Ming Dynasty, it would basically be equivalent to the combination of the chief assistant of the cabinet and the governor of the five armies, taking over the civil and military power of the entire Ottomans.

In other words, if the Ottoman sultan was a strong one, like the previous sultan Murad IV, the grand vizier would naturally be a display, at best a sounding board.

But when it came to Ibrahim I, the situation changed.

This sultan was almost killed, and the sultan who just took the throne has no interest in paying attention to the government at all. Instead, he prefers to stay in the harem, or to watch songs, or to watch dances, or to find concubines for pleasure Just for fun, anyway, I don't like to pay attention to the government.

The advantage of this is that the power of the entire foreign court, regardless of whether it is civil or military power, is in the hands of Mehamati.

The disadvantage is that the monarch and his subjects are not of the same mind, and those people in the harem are always trying to make trouble for Mahmat.

Just like the topic under discussion now.

Originally contracting the land on the other side of the Suez Canal to Daming and allowing Daming to re-dig the Suez Canal was a good thing for the entire Ottomans, but the people in the harem expressed their opposition.

The reason is very simple, it violates the commandment of the true god-these trash in the harem are simply opposing for the sake of opposing, and they don't want to lose any face.

After looking at the civil and military officials in the main hall who expressed their approval, Mehmet sneered and said, "I don't believe you can't see the benefits here.

I believe you can't see what the Ottoman Empire looks like now, but you oppose it for the sake of opposing it. Aren't you afraid that the true god will punish you? "

The most beloved eunuch of Ibrahim I said in a sharp voice: "The true god once said that he once allowed two seas to meet and meet, and there was a dike between the two seas, and the two seas did not invade each other.

Now that you want to contract Suez to the Ming people, don’t you want to violate the commandment of the true God and abolish the dike that separates the two seas? "

Mahmat was even more annoyed.

These damned eunuchs are simply opposing for the sake of opposing—when the Suez Canal was dug, the true God didn't know where it was, now you use the teachings of the true God as an example?

Do you want to lose face?

After snorting coldly, Mehmet simply announced the suspension of the meeting and no longer discussed this matter.

Seeing that the meeting was over, the eunuch who spoke out against Mehamati also turned around and returned to the harem, reporting today's situation to Ibrahim I: "Grand Vizier Mehamati wants to agree with those The idea of ​​the Chinese people, contracting the Suez Canal to them, has been stopped by me.

It's just that the future situation is hard to say. After all, the power is in the hands of Mehamati, and he can't just let it go. "

Ibrahim I gently threw away the fish food in his hand, looked at the fish floating out of the pond to fight for food, and said with a smile: "Of course he won't be reconciled, and this matter, no matter how hard you stop it, I can't stop it either."

The eunuch glanced at Ibrahim quietly, but did not speak.

Since you know you can't stop it, why do you have to stop it?

Just like what Mehmet said, no matter from which aspect, the benefits will always belong to the Ottoman Empire, and Ibrahim is the sultan of the Ottoman Empire, and all the benefits are related to him.

But Sudan wants to let himself stop this matter?What on earth is he trying to do?

Ibrahim I stared at the water in a daze, and said with a smile: "People, they don't cherish things that are easily obtained, and I believe those Ming people will be like this.

You must have heard of the situation in Suez. The difficulty of restarting the Suez Canal is so great that the Ottoman Empire may not be able to bear it.
