After the Second Legion of the Expeditionary Force and the Loyal Army were transferred to Kandahar, there was no need to worry about the defense issues in South Asia. According to the current national strength of the Persian Safavi Empire, if you can die, you can convene an army of 400,000, 400,000 to 300,000. The Ming army also has the advantage of the terrain. Even if both sides are equipped, it will be difficult for the Persian Safavi Empire to break through the front line of Kandahar.

Is the equipment of the Persian Safavi Empire the same as that of the Ming Empire? This is naturally impossible.

The muskets they introduced were just the most primitive mesh guns, and they could not compare with the flintlock guns of the Ming army in terms of lethality or firing rate.

The artillery they introduced was also the most primitive bronze runners, just like the early Red Barbarian cannons, between mortars and howitzers, and their range and destructive power were not as good as the latest howitzers of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, if Sultan really came to attack Kandahar, Hou Shilu's First Expeditionary Army would be able to tie the 200,000 troops he led. Now, with the Second Expeditionary Army and the Zhongyong Army, it would be simply crushing.

Of course, Zhu Cijiu could not let Hou Shilu take this risk. If Hou Shilu was accidentally defeated, then the entire South Asia would be in danger. Therefore, this reinforcement must be sent.

Sending reinforcements is the first step. We must teach the Persian Safavi Empire a lesson and beat them up, or in other words, they will be honest in the future if they lose a lot.

This is not something that the Ming Empire can do easily now, because the Ming Dynasty is now fighting on three fronts, and most of its troops have been mobilized to Siberia and Shaanxi Xingdusi. It is really impossible to draw more people to deal with the Persian Safavi Empire.

Although Hou Shilu was able to completely crush the 200,000 army led by Sultan after the Second Legion of the Expeditionary Force and the Zhongyong Army passed by, Hou Shilu could use these 300,000 troops to completely crush the 200,000 troops led by Sultan, he could also dispatch reinforcements.

If they retreat to the border city, withstand the Ming army's attack, and then continuously transfer reinforcements from the rear, it would be difficult for the 300,000 Ming troops to defeat them. Even if they were defeated, the Ming army would inevitably suffer heavy losses, so they had to have no reinforcements to send.

It is very simple to make them have no reinforcements to send, that is, to treat others with their own ways. The Anti-Habsburg Alliance made the Ming Dynasty bloom everywhere, and the Ming Dynasty could also make the Persian Safavi Empire bloom everywhere.

Zhu Cijiong looked at the map and issued an order again: "Cao Huachun immediately ordered Maharacheng to announce the political envoy, and asked them to send a clutch to inform Li Mingfu, who was stationed in the Eurasian Canal, to bring 500,000 taels of silver to the capital of the Ottoman Empire, and asked Suleiman to immediately summon 200,000 troops to station troops on the borders of the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Safavi Empire. If you want to fight, you will fight. If you don't want to fight, you will run there."

His decree was a bit long, so Cao Huachun hurriedly took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write it down, and then went out to arrange for someone to pass on the decree.

After Maharacheng announced that the Political Envoy Department received the telegram, there was no difficulty. The Port of Mumbai is there. Although there are no super battleships at the port, there are still several Fuchuan warships. Just send one directly to the Eurasian Canal to issue an order.

With the speed of the transformed Fu Ship warship, within two days, Maharacheng announced that the Political Envoy Department would pass the emperor's will to Li Mingfu.

Li Mingfu was a little stunned when he received the order. It was not that he had no money. He didn't know how many merchant ships passed by the Eurasian Canal every day. Those who entered here had to hand over the toll to the Ming Empire. He just needed to go to the yamen where the Ministry of Revenue of the Ming Empire was stationed here to pay the silver.

The main problem is that he has no experience in leading a delegation to another country. How should he do it? He doesn’t know what rules, etiquette, and etiquette are he. He is just a general!

Zhu Cijiu did not intend to make things difficult for Li Mingfu. He was the only one near the Ottoman Empire. If someone was sent from the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it would take at least ten days on the way. Even if Zheng Zhilong was allowed to pass, it would not be possible to arrive in one or two days.

Li Mingfu was really driven to the shelves. Even if he didn't know anything, he had to go. This was the emperor's will.

He simply brought a hundred personal guards, collected 500,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Revenue, recruited a lucky ship, planted a sun, moon, and dragon flag, and then passed directly across the Eurasian Canal to the imperial capital of the Ottoman Empire.

The capital of the Ottoman Empire was on the Mediterranean coast. It didn't take long in the past and the way was quite smooth. Whether it was merchant ships from various countries or warships from various countries, when they saw the sun, moon, and dragon flags of the Ming Empire, they would hurry to avoid them.

You should know that the Mediterranean is now the inland sea of ​​the Ming Habsburg Alliance, because to the west of the Mediterranean is the Kingdom of Spain, to the north is the Holy Roman Empire, and to the east and south are all the territory of the Ottoman Empire. In other words, the entire Mediterranean is almost surrounded by countries of the Ming Habsburg Alliance. If you see the sun, moon, dragon flag of the Ming Empire here, don’t you hurry up and avoid it. The Ming Empire is the leader of the Ming Habsburg Alliance!

In this way, Li Mingfu rushed all the way and rushed to the capital of the Ottoman Empire in less than a day.

Although Li Mingfu did not know the rules of going on a mission, he still understood the basic politeness.

He did not lead a hundred personal guards to the capital of the Ottoman Empire, but instead sent the translator he brought to inform Sueman and asked Sueman to arrange someone to pick him up. There is still 500,000 taels of silver, right? He couldn't just bring the silver to Sueman so blatantly!

This translation was also a clever person sent to him by the Ministry of Revenue. After finding Sueman and unifying the hinting, Sueman immediately understood that the Ming Empire sent a legion commander to give him gifts, hoping that he would do something.

Any senior allied officials who have been to the Ming Empire, no matter how high their positions are, will almost become pro-Ming factions. Sueman is no exception. Although he became Pasha, the most powerful Ottoman Empire, and completely controlled the right to speak in King Ibrahim I, he still respected the Ming Empire.

Because he relied on the support of the Ming Empire to reach his current status, and following the Ming Empire, there are still many benefits to gain. It would be strange if he didn't associate with the Ming Empire.

Therefore, under the hinting of the translator, he directly recruited a pair of carriages and personally led people to the port to welcome the special envoy of the Ming Empire.

Li Mingfu was really flattered. He didn't expect Sueman to come to greet him in person. You must know that Sueman is now the actual ruler of the Ottoman Empire!

In fact, he underestimated himself. Although a legion commander like him is not a big shot in the Ming Empire, he is a super big shot compared to the officials of the Ottoman Empire.

There are only a few armies in the Ottoman Empire, and the strength of his subordinates can catch up with the real power of his loyal and brave army, Pasha can count it. Therefore, in the Ottoman Empire, his strength is a super big boss, and it is not surprising that Sueman came to pick him up in person.

Li Mingfu originally thought that this job would be more difficult, but he never thought that as soon as he asked the translator to express the emperor's meaning, Su Yiman nodded without hesitation and agreed!

This is not to say that Sueman ignored everything for money, mainly this matter was too simple for him.

Is it strange for the Ottoman Empire to fight the Persian Safavi Empire? Is it okay for the two countries to fight often? Sueman doesn’t even have to make any excuses, just make the entire will and let the army gather on the border, and no one will object!
