"Father, the Ming people should have come with kindness this time. Although they can defeat the Portuguese at sea, they cannot drive the ship to land. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty is too far from our Ottomans, and they cannot do so.

There was something conflicted with us, so I think Daming is probably here to discuss some business-related matters with your father!" Suleiman lowered his head and told the results of his previous guess.

"The analysis is good. It is indeed unlikely that the Ming Dynasty will have a military conflict with us. In addition, the Ming Dynasty's current expansion is mainly concentrated in the Indian Ocean, and our previous territory has not been adjacent to the Indian Ocean. However, after we conquer Egypt,

It will contact the maritime power of the Ming Dynasty, so I dare to conclude that the commercial interests sought by the Ming Dynasty are likely to be related to Egypt, and it is even very likely that it is the important land trade channel that communicates the Red Sea and the Mediterranean!"

Shi Kai said, adding that he was not satisfied with his son's performance. At least by his standards, Suleiman could not be regarded as a qualified monarch.

"Father, according to your words, have the envoys of the Ming Dynasty determined that in this war against the Mamluk dynasty, we must have won, and even Egypt will be ruled by us?" Suleiman heard this,

He asked back a little unbelievable. Now he himself has no confidence to destroy the Mamluk Dynasty in one fell swoop, so he can't figure out why the Ming Dynasty, who was far away in the east, made such a judgment?

"The Prophet once warned us: even if we are far away in China, we should seek it. The distant Ming Dynasty claimed to be the Central Plains dynasty and believed that it was the center of the world, but they did have the qualifications to say so, because it is both military and economic, etc.

In every aspect, there will be no country in the world that is stronger than the Ming Dynasty. The envoys that such countries can send are definitely not ordinary people. There are naturally sufficient reasons for their ability to make such judgments, and now from all aspects

.It is indeed our chances of winning are relatively high!" Selim said with a rare smile. Before going to the battle, he was able to get the recognition of the envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty. This is indeed good news for him.

When his father mentioned the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, Suleiman also seemed very excited and said: "Father, you may not have imagined it. The envoy sent by the Ming Dynasty this time was a knowledgeable elder. He was not only proficient in the literature, history and

Geography, even astronomy, and mathematics have profound attainments, especially he is familiar with the customs and cultures of various places in the Ming Dynasty. When I was on the road just now, I had a great conversation with him. I even planned to find a discussion overnight tonight.

After all, the scenery in the Ming Dynasty is so interesting. Some things related to the Ming Dynasty's political structure have also given me great inspiration. Maybe our Ottoman Empire can also adopt some feasible methods in the future!”

"Oh? After hearing what you said, I am even more curious about this envoy of the Ming Dynasty, but don't bother them tonight. After all, they came to Damascus from the Red Sea coast and brought a lot of gifts.

I must have encountered many robbers, and I'm afraid I can't even have a good rest along the way, so let the envoys of the Ming Dynasty have a good rest tonight!" Selim acted like a loyal elder at this time.

Even such a small thing was considered.

"Yes, thank you for your reminder!" Suleiman immediately saluted when he heard his father's words.

"By the way. I heard that this Ming Dynasty mission had a thousand cavalry accompanying you, and you should have seen it before. How about it, what do you think of the strength of this cavalry?" Selim suddenly asked his son again at this time.

road.

"This..." Suleiman thought about it for a moment, quickly raised his head and told the truth, "Father, today I saw that the Ming army was extremely well-equipped. And everyone has extremely superb horse control technology, and theirs

The armor was covered with scars from swords, and some soldiers were wounded, almost everyone was tired on their faces. But even so, the cavalry still advanced and retreated in moderation, showing extreme performance during marching.

With superb qualities, such cavalry may only be compared with the Knights of the personal guards around my father!”

At the end, Suleiman suddenly hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's just that although this cavalry is elite, I found that the horses they ride are not very good. Not only are they not tall, but many of them are mothers.

Horses, but they have many horses, and each cavalry has two or three horses to transfer. It is probably because their horses are too bad, so they don’t have to prepare a few more horses.”

However, as soon as Suleiman finished speaking, he saw Selim shook his head and said, "Sulleiman, I used to make you familiar with government affairs, but now it seems that you should also be more familiar with military affairs.

In terms of things, that cavalry is indeed an elite force that can be compared with the Knights of the Guards, and you can see this very accurately."

When he said this, a wry smile suddenly appeared on Selim's face and said, "But the horses that the other party rode are not simple, because that kind of horse was the war horse that the Mongols rode when they conquered us. Don't look at this kind of war horse.

He is relatively small, but his endurance is excellent. He can run long distances and is not picky about feed. Even if he eats weeds, he can maintain his physical strength. As for the opponent's riding mostly mares, it is because the opponent's cavalry is missing.

When food, mare milk can be used as food. Such an army of cavalry is extremely terrifying. In addition, the famous Padmaid archery technique made the huge Arab Empire almost face the Mongols.

After a defeat, our ancestors had to move from Central Asia to Asia Minor, and finally established the Ottoman Empire today."

"Mongols!" When Suleiman heard this name, he couldn't help but see the great disaster in history books, especially the fall of Baghdad and the tragic death of the Caliph, which was the most tragic memory of all Muslims.

Fortunately, the huge empire established by the Mongols was just a flash in the pan, and the Mongols' lair was also in the east, which prevented the entire Muslim world from suffering devastating blows.

"But aren't the Mongols' mortal enemies of the Ming Dynasty? And I learned from my conversation with the Ming envoy before that the Mongols have now re-established a regime called Tatars, and often went south to harass the border of the Ming Dynasty. This generation of Ming emperors

Decided to completely eliminate the threat of the Tatars, so he personally led his troops to clean up the Tatars and achieved many results. How could the Mongols appear in their army?" At this time, Suleiman suddenly spoke again, and he was also

I was frightened by the reputation of the Mongols, so the questions I asked were obviously a bit out of standard.

At this time, Selim acted like a very patient father and explained: "What can the enemy of generations do? The Mongols are actually just a group of powerful barbarians. They do not have a unified belief and lack it in the nation.

A powerful cohesion was all because of the powerful appeal of the Golden Family that they were brought together. However, when the previous generations of the Golden Family passed away, the Mongolians were immediately in a split-part. Not to mention anything else,

Many of our people in the Ottoman Empire also have the blood of Mongolians. When the Ming Dynasty fought with the Mongolians for generations, they could naturally surrender some Mongolians. After all, Mongolians were born cavalry, and they used Mongolians to deal with the Mongolians.

If I were the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, I would definitely do this."

"So that's it. Thank you for your father's teaching. Suleiman understands!" Suleiman solemnly bowed to his father.

"Well, the Ming Dynasty has expanded rapidly in the sea in recent years. As you said just now, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty actually wanted to completely conquer the Mongols. In this way, there will be no enemies around Daming.

Come on, it will definitely make the Ming Dynasty develop faster. Fortunately, this powerful empire is too far away from us. Before we return to Central Asia, we should not have any conflicts with each other. Therefore, for the envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty this time, we

It would be a good thing to entertain a mutually beneficial business deal. After all, no matter who it is, a strong ally needs." Selim spoke again at this time.

"Sulaiman understands what his father means. I will definitely take this opportunity to have more contact with the Ming delegation so that I can learn more about the Ming Dynasty and also manage a good relationship with the other party!" Sulaiman is very smart,

I immediately understood the profound meaning of my father's words. The strength of the Ming Dynasty had already made my father feel a little alert, so he had to take this opportunity to learn more about the Ming Dynasty. If they really regain the land in Central Asia in the future, then

He would be not far from the Ming Dynasty. If there was a real conflict, he would not know nothing about the Ming Dynasty. However, before that, Suleiman needed to maintain a friendly relationship with the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that his son understood what he meant, Selim nodded with satisfaction, and then asked about the news Suleiman had heard from the Ming Dynasty mission, especially about the military and political aspects of the Ming Dynasty.

Jiaohuangzhong would not reveal this matter in his words, but Selim and Suleiman could infer something from other aspects.

Selim and his son were analyzing the information about the Ming Dynasty. The envoys of the Killed-Yellow Middle Ming Dynasty who lived not far away were also summarizing their experiences today. Especially after entering Damascus, they saw many Ottoman army, although they could only
