Although Zhu Jianyou's proposal was somewhat shameless, Emperor Zhu finally agreed to Zhu Jianyou's proposal.

The nature of asking them to explore New South Wales is different from asking them to invest money in the Su Yinshi Canal project. The latter is likely to cause a lot of trouble, while the former is relatively stable, which may cause

The sequelae are much smaller.

But after thinking about it secretly, Emperor Zhu raised his finger and knocked on the table, and said with a smile: "Send someone to inform Mahmoud again, and say that our Ming Dynasty will hold a surface battle with Ottoman in Cape Asel.

The exercise, let him send the Ottoman navy to participate."

Hearing Emperor Zhu's request, Zhu Jianying hurriedly pulled up the globe and searched for a long time before finding the location of Cape Asel.

Then, Zhu Jianying frowned: "Cape Asel? Although this position is not far from Ottoman, it is much far from Yinstanbul. What's the use of holding an exercise here?"

Emperor Zhu smiled and shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter where to hold the exercise. What matters is who held this exercise--as long as we do our Ming Dynasty, someone will naturally do the rest, and it will be better.

It can save a lot of effort.”

After Emperor Zhu said this, Zhu Jianyou was a little confused. After thinking for a while, hesitated and asked: "What do you mean by relying on this exercise to distract the alliance between Ottoman and Shagee and other countries?"

Emperor Zhu shook his head slightly and said, "The alliance between Ottoman and Shagee and other countries actually laid a crack when Mahmoud II announced the digging of the Suyinshi Canal, but it was just a matter of time."

"The purpose of this exercise is not to remind the Ming merchants and local gentry in the Ottomans, so that they can know that the Ottomans are not in any good places and will not throw their lives into the Su Yinshi Canal.

”

"As well as you can knock on the barbarians who also hit Europa."

It is actually very simple to hit Europa.

Take the parliamentary system implemented in England as an example. This thing actually belongs to the joint efforts of aristocrats and capital to confront the royal family. In essence, it can be said to be an elite deliberation system and has no relationship with ordinary people.

Later, the so-called "Good Lord" and the like were completely dismissed by England. The originally envisioned that the House of Lords not only failed to do so, but the rights fell into the hands of the emerging capitalist class.

Although England has not yet fully formed a situation where the two houses are in power and the royal family is empty, most of the other European countries, including Sand Goose, are monarchical, but the emerging capitalist class has begun to stretch out its fangs.

The essence of the capital class is profit-seeking.

For the capitalist class, it does not matter whether the state exists or not. What is important is whether the money and rights in their hands will be affected.

In fact, it is similar to the Donglin masters during the Tianqi and Chongzhen period.

In the eyes of Donglin, the life or death of the Ming Dynasty is not important. Anyway, anyone who becomes an emperor has to rely on them to govern the world. If the emperor of the Ming Dynasty affects their money and rights, then just change another emperor, or change the dynasty directly.

.

Of course, no matter how profit-seeking the capitalist class is, they still cannot escape the shackles of Maslow's demand theory, that is, the survival demand is higher than any other demands - the Ming Dynasty and Ottoman jointly held military exercises in Cape Assel, these noses

The capitalist class, which is more powerful than a dog, will naturally observe carefully. As long as the Ming Dynasty can scare these capitalists, the European countries will naturally become honest.

...

Compared with Emperor Zhu's many plans, Mahmood II was almost madly angry - the suffocation he had been called like a dog by Emperor Zhu before and couldn't completely disappear. Now he is Emperor Zhu

What kind of military exercises are there, and even the Ottomans have to send the navy to cooperate with the military exercises?

Mahmoud wanted to grab Emperor Zhu's collar and ask him: How do you want Ottoman to cooperate with you? Are you planning to let the Ottoman navy fill the background board of your Ming navy, or just give it to your Ming navy

target?

But Mahmoud dared not object to Emperor Zhu's proposal, at most he discussed how to hide his weakness.

After summoning a group of old men from the Ottoman court, Mahmoud II spoke directly: "The Emperor of Ming Dynasty sent someone to send a message to ask the Ottoman to send a navy to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty's military exercises. I'll find this time

You are here just to hear your opinions.”

After Mahmoud II finished speaking, the elders in the Ottoman court fell into silence.

Just as Mahmood II dared to imagine in his mind the scene of himself grabbing Emperor Zhu's collar and questioning, the elders in the Ottoman court were no better than Mahmood II.

Even Alemdar Mustafapasha, who has always supported Selim III and Mahmoud II, did not stand up and express his opinions.

Or, the old men in the Ottoman court don’t know what attitude they should use to treat this military exercise-

Everyone knows that if the Emperor of Ming Dynasty planned to take advantage of the military exercises to kill the Ottoman Navy, it was not necessary, because the Ottoman Navy, not to mention the Ming Dynasty navy, they even had the navy of small countries such as Portugal and Spain.

Even the strength is not as good as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so there is no need for the emperor to go as hard as he is now.

Besides, even though we know that the Emperor of Ming Kingdom is likely to have no good intentions, these people in the Ottoman court must not send their own naval fleet to be a parade as a training officer as Emperor Zhu's instructions.

Therefore, it is not important for the Emperor of Ming to bring Ottomans to conduct military exercises. What is important is what the Emperor of Ming is making?

After considering it secretly, Alaimdar Mustafapasha stood up and bowed and said, "Dear Sudan, I think no matter what the Ming people are making, we should, must, and can only send them.

A fleet goes to cooperate with their military exercises.”

As soon as Mustafapasha's voice fell, Mahmoud II's heart sank to the bottom with Mustafapasha's voice.

"The Legend of Fairy Wood"

Mahmoud II knew very well that although he was the nominal Ottoman Sudan and had supreme power, everything was just nominal. If he wanted to exercise Sudan's power, he could not get around.

Passing Mustafapasha.

At least, before the new army in his hands fully formed its combat effectiveness, he still needs to rely on Mustafapasha.

Moreover, Mahmoud II is also very clear about Mustafapasha's ability. Since Mustafapasha has used these three words one after another, it means that Mustafapasha has not

Other methods.

This means that there is no other way for me, Ottoman Sudan.

Or, if I had a solution, I would not have summoned Mustafapasha and others to the palace to discuss matters.

Thinking of this, Mahmoud II could only endure the unhappiness in his heart and insisted on completing the discussion process, and then left Mustafa Pasha alone.

After making enough psychological preparations, Mahmoud II said straight to the point: "Mustafapasha, I am ready to increase the intensity of reform and hope to get your support."

However, what Mahmoud II did not expect was that Mustafa Pasha did not reject his proposal as he had imagined, but instead nodded in agreement.

But after nodding, Mustafa Pasha said carefully: "Dear Sudan, I have always supported you, but judging from the current situation in the Ottoman, do you think the reform can be really implemented.

?”

Mahmoud II fell into silence.

Maintaining the status quo? Or increasing efforts? This is a problem.

The Ottoman Empire's reform history has a long history. As early as 1718, Mohammed III set off a reform craze for "learning from France".

But just like the Westernization Movement of the Qing Dynasty always had various obstacles, the Ottoman reforms were also ill-fated.

Mohammed III's reform had just begun and he had just established a printing factory. The Ottoman Imperial Guards used the excuse of opposing the "French lifestyle".

Because Ottoman Sudan could not bear the "occupying the nest" gameplay of the Imperial Guard, he simply planned to escape from Yinstanbul to another province. However, before he escaped from Yinstanbul, he was given the news to the Imperial Guard.

Under house arrest, the unlucky Sudan was executed by "smashing that thing".

According to Jason Goodwin in "The Idle History of the Ottoman Empire", this "playing method of crushing two small balls" is not a treatment that ordinary people can enjoy, but a "specially used to kill Sudan"

way”.

What's more awesome is that even though Sudan's personal safety is shrouded in the terrifying cloud of "shattering two small balls", generations of Sudan in the Ottoman Empire still continue to insist on reform, which is quite a kind of thing

The momentum of death without regret.

When Selim III came to power, the young and energetic Sudan felt the crisis of national destruction and was bayonetized and proposed the major policies of military reform within two years after he came to power. He was determined to train a new army to replace him.

The coup's Imperial Guards, and even the printing presses, were certainly even more intolerant of the reforms that Selim III wanted to uproot himself.

Therefore, the Imperial Guards directly hooked up with Mustafa IV, killed Selim III on the grounds that "the laws formulated violated the doctrine principles", and directly supported Mustafa IV as the new Sudan.

Until Mustafa Pasha, who was loyal to Selim III, led his troops back to the rescue and supported Mahmoud II as the new Sudan.

In other words, the Ottomans have had two turmoil in succession, and the impact of the rebellion of Mustafa IV has not been completely eliminated. Although Mahmoud II and Mustafa Pasha have cleaned up a large number of traditional nobles,

However, in order to maintain the stability of the Ottomans, the two did not dare to completely clean up the Imperial Guards.

Therefore, from a rational point of view, Mahmoud II also knew that the reform should not be strengthened - Ottoman is still in the stage of licking his wounds, and it would be difficult to continue to implement the reforms set by Selim III.

If we increase our efforts, we are afraid that the Imperial Guards will counterattack wildly, and the Ottoman will inevitably fall into a turbulent situation again.

But from the perspective of emotions, Mahmoud II didn't want to wait any longer.

Oil was mined by Ottoman civilians in Ottoman land, but his Ottoman Sudan could not determine the price of oil. Instead, the Ming emperor who bought oil could determine the price of oil;

Every time I went to Xiaobo to attend a meeting, I could only watch the Emperor of Ming Dynasty sitting in the best position and enjoy the best service, while my dignified Ottoman Sudan could only sit in a relatively back seat

;

It would be fine if the Emperor of Ming Dynasty didn't take himself seriously. Even when he formed an alliance with the Shage, England and the Habsburg family, they looked down on him very much - although the contempt in the eyes of George III and others was hidden very much

Deep, but there are always moments that come out inadvertently.

Mahmoud II no longer wanted to be called around like a dog.

After a while of silence, Mahmoud II spoke, "I heard that there is an old saying among Chinese people, "No one can establish without breaking, which means that if you do not break the original rules, you will not be able to establish new rules."

"The Ottoman has reached a critical moment of life and death. The Ming people are trying to make us think about us. The people of Europa are actually trying to make us think about us, while the guards only think about the rights in their hands. The nobles don't care about the life and death of the Ottoman at all.

Since it's already like this, why not bet?"

This time it was Mustafapasha's turn to fall into silence.

Mustafa Pasha also knew very well that although the current situation in Ottoman could still be maintained, who could guarantee that he could always keep it?

As Mahmood II said, Ottoman has indeed reached a critical moment of life and death. If he does not vigorously promote reforms, he and Mahmood II can only make continuous repairs like watch lake craftsmen. It is difficult to make any substantial changes.

.

After careful consideration, Mustafapasha suddenly raised his head and looked at Mahammerd II and said, "Sudan, the Ming people seem to have an old saying, "Turn away the wolves and kill the tigers--Since

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty is near Cape Asel, so the safest place on the entire small break ball is the safest place. No matter what the guards and nobles want to do, they cannot reach their hands to Asel.

"

Mahmoud II suddenly felt aroused and began to calculate how feasible Mustafa Pasha’s plan was.

Mustafapasha continued: "If the Emperor of Ming Dynasty wants to hold a military exercise, then you will definitely be invited. It is normal to lead some guards with the imperial guards - since you can't rely on the new army quickly
