Chapter 357 This is too much!
Mustafa wanted to take the position of Sudan, but Mustafa was reluctant to kill Selim III directly, in addition to the relationship between the two uncles and brothers, the more important thing was that Mustafa needed to keep Selim III alive.
A living ex-利生文 can maintain Mustafa's image as a kind and friendly benevolent king, which is far more useful than a dead wolf pill.
Selim III didn't think much about it. After all, Selim III was a woman from the deep palace since she was a child, and her methods of using politics and power may not be much better than Guangxu.
If we really talk about it, the Qing Dynasty and the Ottoman are really worthy of being a pair of brothers and brothers. Not only were they beaten by Europa to doubt their lives, but even the monarchs in their later periods are very similar. For example, Selim III is very similar to the Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty.
Guangxu wanted to revive the Qing Dynasty, and Selim III also wanted to revive the Ottoman Empire. Guangxu's throne was not passed down by his own father, and Selim III's throne was inherited from his uncle. Guangxu had only thoughts but had little real skills and was suppressed everywhere, while Selim III thought it was good in all aspects but could not be implemented, and was constrained by the traditional Ottoman aristocrats everywhere.
However, Selim III was somewhat stronger than Guangxu. After all, the traditional conservative nobles of the Ottomans just did not want their own interests to be damaged. No one really hoped that Selim III, the Ottoman Sudan, was a pure two fool, while Guangxu was trained as a fool-like tool person since he was a child.
This can be seen from the reform plans formulated by Selim III for the Ottoman.
However, it was precisely because Selim III didn't think much that he did not intend to let Mustafa leave like this.
Selim III grabbed Mustafa's hand and said, "It just so happened that Meha Yiner is back. Why do you have to leave so anxiously? In fact, I also want to hear your opinions. No matter what, we are all for the strength of the Ottoman, and there is no doubt about this."
As time gets closer, Mustafa simply frowned and said, "Since you already have your own plans, why listen to my opinion? In an empire, there should not be two different voices."
Selim III shook his head and said, "One arrow can easily break, but ten arrows can hardly break the future of the Ottoman Empire, but it is not just my own business."
Without waiting for Mustafa to say something, Selim III continued: "As the special envoy of the Ottoman Empire, Maha Yinr has agreed to the conditions proposed by the Ming people. I want to know, what do you think of these conditions?"
Mustafa unconsciously looked up at the sky outside the palace and thought to himself, what can I think? I can see with my eyes! It’s too late, old man! If those traditional and conservative nobles launch an attack in advance, then we brothers and two will have to set off together later?
Besides, although these conditions are disgusting, the Ottoman has been on the decline over the years and has signed many treaties with the Cafeel countries of Europe, including even more disgusting treaties.
In contrast, except for the demarcation of a concession in Yinstanbul, the other conditions were within the acceptable range of the Ottomans.
After thinking about it, Mustafa, who was increasingly anxious, simply snorted: "Since Maha Yiner agreed to the conditions proposed by the Ming people on behalf of Ottoman, and the Habsburg family has also agreed, what else can I think?"
"But..." Mustafa suddenly changed his tone and said carefully: "Although I do not agree to learn from the Ming or England and France Cafele countries in all aspects, but I have to admit that they do have some places worth learning from. Therefore, I agree to sending some international students to the Ming or England and France to learn their strengths."
Selim III immediately smiled and said, "Look, we brothers are thinking of going together now? The True God said that although knowledge is far away in China, we should seek it even if the True God encourages us to take the initiative to learn from the Ming people. Then we should learn from the Ming or other countries, learn their strengths, turn their strengths into our strengths, change our weaknesses, and make us stronger."
Mustafa suddenly felt like he had nothing to say.
"Even if knowledge is far away in China, we should seek it." This sentence is indeed what the True God once said, and it is clearly recorded in the scriptures. Selim III used the words said by the True God to promote the dispatch of students to the Ming Dynasty, so there was no good reason for the Ottoman to object.
Selim III continued: "I hope you can comfort the traditional, conservative, and almost corrupt nobles after you go back, and tell them that although the contract signed with the Ming people this time has many disadvantages for the Ottomans, we cannot just see the disadvantages but not the benefits."
Mustafa had a stinky face and said, "What other benefits can this be done?"
But after saying that, Mustafa suddenly realized that he could not see any benefits. Wasn't it the kind of traditional, conservative, and almost corrupt noble that Selim III mentioned?
However, Celim III did not notice that Mustafa's face looked even more ugly, but instead smiled: "There are too many benefits in this."
After letting go of Mustafa's hand, Selim III said excitedly while walking in the circle: "The first benefit is naturally that we, Ottoman, can also send students to the Ming Dynasty."
"As the True God said, even though knowledge is far away in China, we should seek it."
"It would be fine if there was no such opportunity before, but now we have the opportunity, compared with the most powerful Ming country now, both England and France are a little worse. Since we are going to send students to learn the strengths of other countries, we should of course learn from the most powerful Ming country."
"The second benefit is naturally that we can start to officially stay with Ming Dynasty."
"You know, Mustafa, if you want to make the Ottoman stronger, it is absolutely impossible to have money."
"It just so happened that Ming Dynasty is very rich. Now the whole world is doing business with Ming people. A large amount of silver is flowing into Ming Dynasty. Our Ottoman has the most reserved oil on the small break ball. We can use oil to exchange for everything we need with Ming Dynasty."
"This third benefit..."
But before Selim III finished speaking, Mustafa interrupted Selim III impatiently: "Now, the Ming Kingdom has the most oil reserves on the small break ball, not our Ottoman."
"Don't forget that among the contracts signed by Maiha Yiner and Ming, the number of oil production areas occupied by Ming has already been leased to Ming. What's the difference between this and direct ceasing? Maybe it's just a little better in name?"
"We also have more oil production areas, and we are more convenient to produce oil production," argued Selim III.
"As for those oil production areas that have been leased or ceded to Ming people... how many people do you think Ming people can send to mine oil? Can the mined oil meet the needs of Ming people?"
Meh Yiner said in a timely manner: "As wise as Sudan, the oil produced in those places cannot meet the needs of the Ming people. In fact, the Ming people are buying oil all over the world, while our Ottoman has the largest oil reserves in the world. No one except us can meet the needs of the Ming people."
Mustafa sneered and asked back, "What about Mingguo himself? Is there no oil in their country?"
Meha Yiner didn't know how to answer this question from Mustafa.
After staying in the Ming Dynasty for so long, Maha Yiner knew nothing about the Ming Dynasty as before.
Maiha Yiner knew very well that the Ming Dynasty also owned oil, but the Ming Dynasty rarely exploited or did not exploit their local oil at all, but rather spent money to buy from other countries.
Based on the newspapers he saw in Ming and the news he asked people from other countries, Maiha Yiner finally came to a very amazing conclusion: oil is likely to be a non-renewable resource, and Ming does not need so much oil at all now. They just want to collect all the oil as reserves.
If this inference is correct, then the truth hidden behind it is amazing. Assuming that oil is not renewable, it means that one barrel will be less than one barrel when it is recycled. After all the oil in other countries is exploited, the right to speak of oil will naturally be in the hands of the Ming people who have the most oil reserves!
However, Meha Yiner dared not directly say his inference. After all, it was a contract signed with the Ming people. Once his recommendation came true, he would be the biggest sinner in Ottoman history!
Thinking of this, Maha Yiner's inside was as bitter as if he had eaten three pounds of yellow lotus.
By signing a treaty with the Ming people, he may be the biggest sinner in Ottoman history.
If you don’t sign a treaty with the Ming people, you will be the sinner of the fall of the Ottoman country.
Perhaps, this is my own destiny? Did the True God arrange it specifically like this?
After considering it secretly, Maiha Yiner spoke: "The Ming people's demand for oil is indeed very large. Even if many countries in the small pot are selling oil, they still cannot meet the needs of Ming people."
After thinking about it, Maiha Yiner added: "From the information I found out, it seems that it is because of oil that the Ming people started a war against us Ottoman."
Selim III did not feel any strange about Meha Yiner's statement, but Mustafa almost got madly angry.
This is too stubborn!
If you need oil in Mingguo, then just buy it directly? Our Ottoman didn’t say he wouldn’t sell it. Why did he have to solve the problem through war?
Okay, it’s okay for you to have a Ming Dynasty to fight. Just let’s go with Ottoman, but you also gathered a group of horsemen such as Sha Ge, the Silly Thieves and Eagles to bully the few and not talk about martial arts!
Because of this bullshit news, the more I thought about it, and the more I was worried that the traditional and conservative nobles outside the Topkapa Palace would launch an attack on the palace in advance, Mustafa simply said with a dark face: "The Ming people are really bullying people. I don't want to know what the benefits of signing a treaty with them. I only care about when the Ottoman will be strong enough to make the Ming Kingdom ask us to sign a treaty!"
After Mustafa said this, Selim III and Meha Yiner were stunned.
I want to eat nothing!
It doesn’t mean that the country is now the most powerful country on the ball. Even the Ming Dynasty’s mascot England, France and the like are not able to compete with the Ottoman, who is on the decline now!
Seeing the atmosphere getting stiffer, Selim III also lost interest in continuing to talk with Mustafa.
Selim III waved his hand and said, "Okay, you leave first, but I still hope that you can persuade those traditional and conservative nobles and men to the Ottoman reforms. The reforms of the Ottomans will not cause them to lose too much benefits, but will gain more benefits in the future. I am the guarantee that Sudan can give them."
Mustafa obviously had no interest in hearing Selim III's nonsense here.
For Mustafa, as long as he has not reached Sudan's position in one day, his interests are consistent with those of the traditional conservative nobles of the Ottomans.
Don’t say that you lose too much, even losing an Akche is enough to make you heartbreak!
Not to mention that there will be more benefits in the future, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Ottoman Empire is now on a downward trend. Who can guarantee that Selim III's reform will succeed?
What if it fails? Will the Ottoman situation be worse than it is now? Will the big guy's losses be more serious?
After thinking about it, Mustafa finally bowed slightly to touch his chest and greeted Selim III: "Please rest assured, I will persuade them."
Selim III smiled with relief and said, "That's good that if our reforms can be successful, it will definitely make the Ottoman stronger again. One day in the future, or if it can be expeditioned eastward? At that time, I will definitely enthrone you as the governor of China!"
Just after Mustafa left, Selim III's face became gloomy.
Meh Yiner was confused by Selim III's change of face, but Meh Yiner was tactful and did not ask questions, but instead brought the topic to the contract with the Ming Dynasty: "Su Dan, the Ming people allowed us to send no more than 500 international students to study abroad this time, but we have to bear all the expenses for international students, which is the same as France, England and other countries."
