899 Ottoman Empire
"Haha, this is not simple. The master of the Royal Academy of the Ming Dynasty is a real scholar. Of course, you have to stay away from the officialdom and the noise!" Mr. Liu finally reminded them.
When these tea guests in the teahouse heard this, they suddenly realized it.
"So that's it, it's really quiet enough outside the city!"
"My kid is going to the countryside for a scientific exam, so I'm driven to the countryside because I'm afraid he won't take it!"
“…”
Amid the discussion, an old tea chef suddenly said, "But, this is located outside the city, if there is a military disaster or something..."
It is obvious that after he had been through the years of Jianlu and thieves in his early years, he seemed to be impressed and put forward his meaning. However, as soon as he said this, he was flooded with the saliva of a group of people.
"Soldier disaster, what kind of military disaster is there now?"
"That's right, today, I am the only one in the Ming Dynasty. It would be nice if I don't hit others!"
"No, who can fight against me today? I believe it or not, so the emperor can destroy them so that they don't even know their ancestors?"
"Now the surrounding area is full of our Ming Dynasty. Where do you know the border between our Ming Dynasty? Arctic Ocean, Fort Mingwei..."
“…”
Originally, this old tea chef wanted to tell the difference that when the Ming Dynasty was in its peak and decline, there might be war disasters, but he didn't even have time to speak, so he could only scrub the saliva that others sprayed, and finally had to shut up helplessly.
Now in the Ming Dynasty, I want to say such things, I really want to criticize you!
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen had considered his concerns long ago. With the progress of the times, if a military disaster really occurred, he would rely on the tall city walls and could no longer defend against the army's attack.
Besides, with the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, science and technology has begun to crush other countries. At least in the foreseeable future, only the Ming Dynasty will be able to defeat the enemy.
Even if the Ming Dynasty has an economic crisis or something in the future, it is easy to transfer domestic conflicts and fight against Europe and other countries. The so-called dynasty can be revived every three hundred years, and after opening up so many territories, can it be buffered?
Of course, Emperor Chongzhen could not guarantee that the Ming Dynasty would be forever for thousands of years and there would be no war.
However, wasn’t the Ming Dynasty two capitals system? The Ming Dynasty Royal Academy, which was used to study science, planned to build one in Nanjing after the capital was on track. Then the library, the researched science, published papers, etc. were all in duplicate, and one in Nanjing was also collected.
If something happens in the future, it is impossible for both sides to have an accident at the same time, right? The two-pronged preservation method can always retain the essence of the Ming culture as much as possible!
Now, the treatment of the Royal Academy of Ming Dynasty has been improved and its quality has been improved, so that he can be called the yamen that the world admires, and publicize it. For example, letting people like Liu Gongzi and the Dongchang promote it, that is, to raise the people who are truly engaged in learning to the extent that everyone yearns for, so as to provide the Royal Academy of Ming Dynasty with a steady stream of talents.
In Emperor Chongzhen's vision, any government office is not as important as this Ming Dynasty Royal Academy. The output here will lead the Ming Dynasty to the sea of stars.
Therefore, he will gradually set goals for the various categories in the Royal Academy of Ming Dynasty and let them study. The future path has been preset for them. As for what goes beyond his knowledge, it is only alien civilization, which is not enough.
……………………
While Emperor Chongzhen was busy with these things, the butterfly effect caused by his time travel began to change the Ottoman Empire far away in the Middle East.
At this point, the true family member of the Ottoman Empire was not the young Muhammad IV, but the Sultan of Kosem, their empress dowager. This was the last and most famous one in the Sultan feminist era.
These empress dowagers are a little different from Wu Zetian. They like to dominate the harem, but are not very interested in politics. Therefore, no one has the idea of becoming an queen, just holding power in their hands.
The empress dowager was in power, the emperor was deposed, and her young grandson succeeded to the throne. Against this background, the political corruption of the Ottoman Empire, corrupt officials were rampant, and even rebellions occurred.
Therefore, even if the Persian Empire has greatly reduced its strength, the Ottoman Empire did not gain much benefit. This made Aurangzeb, who fled to the Ottoman Empire, very annoyed and disappointed with the Ottoman Empire.
In the end, he went to surrender to the rebels in the Ottoman Empire to assist the rebels in rebellion. He thought of taking advantage of the rebels' power to kill the puppet when the time was right.
It's true that with his assistance, the strength of the rebels suddenly increased, which made the Ottoman Empire finally wake up a year earlier.
To this end, the Empress Dowager promoted Koplulu Muhammad Pasha to serve as Prime Minister of the Empire to change the current situation in the Ottoman Empire and restore the authority of the Central Empire.
This Koprulu? Mohammed Pasha was a real person. In his original history, he quelled the rebellion, suppressed hostile elements, reorganized the army, and defeated the Venetian fleet. He really revitalized the power of the central government of the Ottoman Empire and became the founder of a prominent family.
In the following hundreds of years, the actual rulers of the Ottoman Empire, that is, their prime minister, came from his family, either his son or his son-in-law.
This Koplulu was born in a rural area in Albania and was a person who climbed up from the bottom. He was a bit like the one in the Ming Dynasty, who was promoted step by step. He was a guy with rich experience and strong abilities.
As soon as he took office, he immediately arranged his confidants in important positions, so that his orders could be implemented. He strongly rectified the administration and the army, and made a statement. In a moment, the central government of the Ottoman Empire was completely renewed.
Pasha of Aleppo and Abazha Hasan were the leader of the rebels. He was in power because he was the leader of the fierce mercenary army. With the help of Aurangzeb, he had a good momentum but could not defeat the scheming Koprulu, and was soon suppressed by him.
Poor Aurangzeb, before he could kill the puppet, he was destroyed as a result. Naturally, he was destroyed by Koplulu.
By this time, the Ottoman Empire had regained its strength as an old empire and began to threaten its surroundings. If, according to the original history, Kopululu would then organize an expedition to Venice and win the war.
But before he made a decision on this plane, the envoys of the Ottoman Empire's vassal state, Crimean Khanate, came to ask for a meeting.
"What, the Bukhara Khanate was destroyed by the Ming army?" Kopullu was shocked.
Before, he heard that the Mughal Empire was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, and he was actually shocked. However, after all, there was no need for the emperor to be anxious and the eunuchs would be anxious, so he would let the Persian Empire have a headache first. He was busy himself, so he didn't care.
Unexpectedly, the Ming Kingdom was so powerful and so aggressive that it destroyed another country. In addition, it occupied the Samara Fort before and forced Tsar Alexey to sign a treaty of cede land and pay compensation. At this time, he truly realized the threat of the Ming Kingdom.
"Yes, sir!" The envoy of the Crimean Khanate reported anxiously, "Now the Ming army's night has not been taken away, it has appeared in the territory of the country. I don't know when they will launch an attack. Please make the decision for the country and help the country drive away this hungry wolf!"
When Kopullu heard this, his brows frowned. Because in his original plan, he had no intention of developing forces eastward. He was preparing to go westward and fight with those Christian countries.
However, the Ming Dynasty was aggressive in the east, which made him feel threatened, so he had to reconsider his plans.
Of course, it is not so easy to change one's mind if you want a person like him.
The existence of the vassal state is to pay tribute to the vassal state and become a barrier to the vassal state. Before the Ming Dynasty could defeat the vassal state, the vassal state had to stand up for the vassal state. The vassal king was not his own son, so he would not do that.
What if the Ming Kingdom did not intend to attack the Crimean Khanate and went to question it by itself, what would be wrong? The Ottoman Empire is not the most powerful empire in its prime and can despise all enemies. If you really want to do that, what if you attract the Ming army that did not attack the Crimean Khanate, wouldn’t you cause trouble!
But if it doesn't matter, if the Ming army launches a raid, it will destroy most of the Crimean Khanate before it reacts. Before it sends its troops, it will destroy the Crimean Khanate. In that case, the war may burn to the Ottoman Empire, which is something Kopulu doesn't want to see.
Just as he was hesitating and before he could make the final decision, he suddenly came to report that the Persian Empire, the messenger of Abbas II, had arrived.
This is an old rival of the Ottoman Empire, and it can be said that it is from a feud. What did Abbas II send people to do?
He was puzzled in his heart, and finally he officially received the envoy, that is, the empress dowager, and the emperor was there, and received the envoy of the Persian Empire.
What they did not expect was that although the Ottoman Empire is now overwhelmingly over the Persian Empire, the humility and low attitude of the messengers of the Persian Empire were unprecedented.
The wise empress dowager, the intelligent emperor, and the wise prime minister. Anyway, they were all flattering and the gifts they gave were very heavy. Abbas II also expressed his willingness to surrender to the Ottoman Empire and repair them forever.
This situation made the empress dowager of the Ottoman Empire very happy. What many generations of Ottoman emperors did not do when she was in power. Even if she was not interested in external politics, she was still very proud.
However, Kopululu felt that something was wrong. If something happened abnormal, there would be a demon. So he directly asked about the purpose of the visit.
