Arrogant!

What is arrogance?

Is Kara Mustafa arrogant?

Perhaps the arrogance of the Ming envoys was enough to make everyone look up to, but the Ming envoys were still polite. In contrast, it was really arrogant in the Ottoman Empire. Their arrogance was enough to make any country suffer. Foreign envoys had a hard time in Istanbul. The French ambassador was slapped in the face and was beaten with a chair. Rakshasa's ambassador was kicked out of the hall. The Polish minister was almost killed. The interpreter in Vienna was even punished. As for the envoys in Venice, they were also on the gallows.

In terms of arrogance, at most, only the Qing Dynasty can compare with it. Well, by the way, they were all quite arrogant, and in the end they all learned the rules under the muzzle of European powers.

In contrast, it seems that Kara Mustafa is already "magnanimous" enough that he just ordered the Chinese envoys to be imprisoned.

Faced with the rudeness and tyranny of the Turks, Wang Jiezhi, Chen Yechen and others protested with pride and then allowed them to put them in prison.

After the Chinese envoy was bombarded with the palace, Muhammad IV looked at Kara Mustafa and said.

“Is this appropriate?”

"Dignity Caesar, the Chinese are not qualified to give orders to us with high standards. Do they think the Ottomans are a small country like England and France?"

"Caiser" is the title of Sudan of the Ottoman Empire. In Turkic words, it means "Roman Emperor". This may be the most interesting place. The Ottomans who destroyed the Eastern Roman Empire claimed to be the Roman Emperor.

"Well, the Chinese's arrogant attitude is indeed very annoying, but will the Chinese really declare war on us for the attack on merchant ships?"

Muhammad IV asked back.

"I can't worry about this. China is too far away from here. In my opinion, they just said a few harsh words. They must fully consider the strength of the Ottoman."

Kara Mustafa said proudly.

"Indeed, they must have a dialogue with us from a strength standpoint. After all, Ottoman is the leader of the entire Tianfang world!"

Muhammad IV proudly agreed.

"However, we also need to consider the possible actions of the Chinese."

"move?"

Kara Mustafa smiled unanimously, and then ordered the black eunuch beside him.

"Transfer my order and drive all Chinese businessmen out from today! No one left!"

Kara Mustafa smiled as the black eunuch ran out to convey the order.

"Caesar, at this time, we should show our attitude! Let the Chinese understand that this is Ottoman, not England!"

Taking a deep breath, Muhammad IV said:

"Great Vizi, do all this according to your wishes!"

Perhaps Kara Mustafa did not come from the Kopruru family, but he still had absolute power in the Ottoman court, and even Sudan would not oppose his decision. Moreover, the current Ottoman Empire has not yet experienced the "defeat of Vienna" and has not yet become the "sick man of Europe". The current Ottoman is even a "European nightmare", which is enough to make any European country tremble.

In this case, how could they accept China's "ultimatum"? This is simply an extremely rude behavior. Even in the eyes of their monarchs and ministers, it is already "giving enough face to China" now that they just put Chinese envoys in prison and did not directly beat them to death.

However, face is face. For the Ottomans who are used to being arrogant, it is obvious that they cannot be "high" in the Ming Dynasty. They will naturally take corresponding revenge actions to drive the Chinese out!

...

"Go away quickly!"

Ottoman soldiers who escorted Wang Jiezhi, Chen Yechen and other Chinese missions urged him.

Their movements were a little slower and they were pushed hard. When they almost fell, Chen Yechen held the wall, and the iron chains of his shackles were dragging on the stone walkway. The sound was disgusting, but at this time, he could no longer care about so much.

The heavy shackles made his heels hurt, but now all he could do was to endure it silently, endure the pain, and endure the fear in his heart.

After entering the prison, a jailer came to pick him up.

"I'll leave these people to you."

"Yeah, don't worry."

"They offended Davizi and take good care of them!"

"Don't worry! Make sure to take good care of them!"

After a brief handover, the vicious prisoners rushed them into the cell. When they were put into the cell, Wang Jiezhi shouted loudly.

"You guys, the natives are tyrannical and do not care about etiquette. Today I want to torture us. I hope you can take Su Wumu as an example and must not betray the Celestial Empire and bring shame to the country and tribe members...ah"

Before he could finish speaking, he was beaten and screamed and was bombed into the cell.

The Chinese mission members were rushed into the prison here, and the prisoners there looked at these people fiercely. They would naturally deal with them if they were given instructions. But now, they were staring at the official robes and silk clothes on these people, and their eyes were full of greed.

These Chinese people wear silk! They can sell them a lot of money when they are sold on the market.

"You take off all your clothes! Otherwise, you will be punished at once!"

The jailers shouted outside the iron gate.

"The natives are indeed greedy by nature..."

From the translator's mouth, he learned that the jailers were staring at their silk clothes. People were under the eaves. If they could not bow their heads, they would have to be lowered to survive. Besides, they were just a piece of clothes.

Some people want to, and some people certainly don't.

Besides, they are not unfamiliar with all this. In books about Jiannu, they often describe them ordering officials and people to take off their clothes and rob the clothes of the people. I never thought that the same was true for the Ottoman side. Perhaps, greed is the common nature of these barbarians.

As the escorts took off their clothes one after another, Wang Jiezhi, who was the main envoy of the mission, said loudly.

"Wang's official robe is related to the court's dignity, so how can the natives let the locals ruin it! They want to take Wang's official robe, just wait until Wang is killed before taking it!"

"Sir, no need, no need..."

Chen Yechen, who was wearing only a garment on his body, quickly persuaded him,

"If you annoy them, these people will kill people!"

Killing? Of course no, Wang Jiezhi just refused here, and the prison guards there had already taken action. They dragged Wang Jiezhi out directly. Before he could protest, the stick had already fallen on him. It was safe because he was an envoy and was polite at all...
