Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 933 Wisdom Man
In addition to being frightened by the size of the Ming Navy's fleet, the Dutch and British were also frightened by the rampage of steam ironclad battleships that they had never seen before.

They are also human beings, even if they are desperadoes, they are still afraid.Especially when facing hostile unknown things, uneasiness is the most basic.When they find that this unknown thing has strong attack power and strong defense power, and there is almost nothing they can do, their uneasiness turns into fear.

Whenever there is a war, even in later generations, morale is still very important and can affect the outcome of a war.

Seeing the steam ironclad battleship rushing into the British fleet with a long black smoke, Yan Yingyuan knew that the British fleet was finished.

The Ming warships that followed swarmed up did not engage in boarding combat with the enemy warships at all.Several ships surrounded one ship, volleying cannons, or flintlock guns, and even threw "thousands of enemies" over it, directly killing both the men and the ship, unless the enemy ship surrendered.

In fact, when the warships of the Ming Navy were flooded, facing the inevitable outcome, few enemy warships would fight to the end, because they would surely die.Many warships hoisted white flags and no longer offered any resistance.

After observing the naval battle with a telescope for a while, Yan Yingyuan was no longer interested in watching, so he turned his head to look at the land.

At this time, except for a few Persians who snatched their horses and fled before the Ming army arrived, basically all the enemies on the shore had been surrounded by the Ming cavalry.

In order to ensure that the Persian emperor would no longer run away, even behind those few enemies who fled on horseback, there was a group of Ming soldiers chasing after them at night.The configuration of one man and two horses, and a group of nights hanging behind one enemy, no matter what, it is impossible to escape!
As the vanguard, Punchuk's troops surrounded the enemy, but the following Ming army was still marching on the coastline, with no end in sight.This time, the Ming Dynasty's land army gathered a total of more than 8 people.

Whether it's at sea or on land, whether it's morale or technology, that is, in terms of ordnance and equipment, they are all crushing strengths.In this way, the battle becomes extremely easy, even without the golden finger of Emperor Chongzhen.

Regarding this situation, Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in Zhenhai City, knew very well, and was not surprised at all by the outcome of the war.

After learning the situation from the eavesdropping system, he sent an imperial edict to Yan Yingyuan.Let him arrange for the prisoners to rebuild a Ming Dynasty city there and transform the port.In addition, after the army rested, it landed on the Arabian Peninsula and began to attack the Ottoman Empire from there.

Because at this time, the Arabian Peninsula was already occupied by the Ottoman Empire.This enemy is the next target to be eliminated.It is also for this reason that the army coming from the sea gathered so many troops.

But today's Persian Empire, except for the central and western regions, and a very small number of northern regions, has all been captured by the Ming army.And the Ming army is still continuing to attack. I believe that it will not be long before they will be able to conquer the entire territory of Persia.

In fact, at this time, the Persian royal family and the civil and military ministers of the central government have all been taken over by Yan Yingyuan, and their capital city is gone. It can already be said that the Persian Empire has never existed since then!

Although the Persian Empire still had to clean up the mess, Emperor Chongzhen had turned his attention to the Ottoman Empire further west and began to do the homework of the Ottoman Empire.

........................

After the Battle of Fort Mingwe, more than 1 remnant Ottoman troops fled back to the country directly, and naturally sent the news of their great Prime Minister's defeat back to the country.

For a moment, the whole country was shocked.

At the beginning, Koprulu and the Persian Empire sent troops together, but they brought all the troops that the Ottoman Empire could use.Such a huge force, no matter what, is a very powerful army.

At the beginning, the news sent back was victory, victory, victory, which made the Ottoman Empire jubilant.On the Koprulu family's side, people have been promoted and rewarded with wealth because of this, not to mention.It can be said that because Ke Pululu "got the Tao" alone, the whole family "ascended to heaven".

If the original history develops according to the original history, it is precisely because of Koprulu's meritorious service and accumulated prestige that his family has firmly controlled the power of the Ottoman Empire in the years to come.

But now, Koprulu has been defeated. If he didn't come back, he would definitely not be able to escape at that age, and the main force of the Ottoman Empire was also lost.Even if he had enough achievements and high reputation in the past, some people began to attack Koprulu and his family and demanded severe punishment from the court.

However, in today's Ottoman Empire, it is not the young Mehmet IV who is in power, but the queen mother, Sultan Kosem.It was she who overcame all opinions and promoted Koprulu to the position of prime minister.

If we want to denounce Koprulu's incompetence and punish him, then she herself will definitely be jointly and severally responsible.

In fact, the ruling and opposition parties of the Ottoman Empire already have such voices, saying that she is a woman in power, which is the scourge of Ottoman.

Under such circumstances, the empress dowager certainly understood that if this kind of voice really became the mainstream of the government and the opposition, she would no longer be able to hold power, let alone be in danger.After all, the imperial palace has never been a good place, and the struggle for imperial power has always been bloody.

For this reason, she began to defend Koprulu.It's not that there is a problem with Koprulu's ability, but that his luck is too bad.Who would have thought that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would suddenly appear leading the army?
At this time, there were still Ottoman troops fighting in Mughal. Similarly, the emperor of the Persian Empire was also driving himself to conquer Mughal.The Ottomans are not particularly pessimistic about what will happen to the war over there.

Because in their understanding, the Ottoman Empire was the most powerful, and the Persian Empire was also okay.They have always been hegemonic, and they are all great powers!

Even if there is a problem, it is not that the Persian Empire is in the way, at least on the Ottoman Empire side, basically nothing will happen.

Against this background, the empress dowager, who was in power, used her strength to suppress the opposition.She also promoted Koprulu's son Ahmed to take over the position of prime minister, rectified the government and opposition, collected taxes, and rebuilt the army.

This Ahmed is also a famous person, known as a wise man.Of course he understood the situation of his family, so he followed his father's example, struck with an iron fist, and continued to use totalitarian tactics to suppress all opposition groups in the country.

In addition, the current situation, the military is also very important.He vigorously collected taxes and rebuilt the army, which were also his most important tasks.

However, the Ottoman Empire was actually not rich. When the Persian emperor persuaded them to send the whole country to reap the benefits, the domestic supplies and food had already been emptied.

However, launching such a huge war not only brought no benefits, but also caused heavy losses to the Ottoman Empire, which was equivalent to all the materials being wasted.They also need to raise money to appease the morale of the army and regain their allegiance.It can be said that the Ottoman Empire was a pauper.

Under such circumstances, Ahmed had to vigorously collect taxes. Naturally, the government forced the people to rebel, and even the opposition directly rebelled.Suddenly, the chaos in the Ottoman Empire that had been suppressed by Ahmed's father returned to normal.

Fortunately, Ahmed is indeed a capable person, so he followed his father's example, and after more than half a year, he finally suppressed the big rebels on the surface.

No, in the royal palace in Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, Ahmed returned after suppressing the rebellion and was reporting the situation to the empress dowager.

Hearing that the situation was under control, the Empress Dowager was naturally delighted.After taking a look at the Ottoman Emperor who was blowing bubbles to sleep, she said to Ahmed: "Good job, keep working hard, don't mess up again!"

"Don't worry, the Queen Mother. Now the situation is under control. The imperial army has also experienced blood and fire, and there is already an elite." Ahmed immediately replied respectfully, with a sense of pride in his tone, "As long as the humble minister can suppress the rebels With the army as the core, and then expand the army, there will be enough troops to suppress everything.”

The Empress Dowager was very happy when she heard this, but she remembered something and asked again: "How is the tax collection going?"

No matter what you do, you have to have money.However, even though the empress dowager was in the palace, she felt that the supplies were not as abundant as before.

Hearing this, Ahmed immediately knew why she asked such a question, and he knew why she was asking, so he immediately replied: "They are the ones who don't cry when they don't see the coffin. Take out the money. The minister has already controlled the situation, and there will be no problem in terms of taxation."

In fact, that's not what he actually thinks in his heart.As a "wise man", he certainly knew the current situation of the Ottoman Empire.However, how could other people's families be as important as his own? Now he wanted to use other people's money to consolidate his family's power and power, so that was the only answer.

The empress dowager nodded again after listening.As for things outside the palace, as long as they are not too big, she doesn't worry about them.At this time, she was just waiting to give a few words of encouragement to Ahmed to keep up his efforts and do a good job, when she suddenly heard rapid footsteps outside, and then a chamberlain appeared in the hall and reported in a panic: "The Queen Mother , It’s not good, the guard on the Persian border will report quickly, Persia is going to be over!”

After the servant briefed the situation, he handed over the urgent package in his hand.

Hearing this report, the empress dowager and Ahmed couldn't help being a little dumbfounded. What's going on? What does it mean that Persia is going to end?
Although they didn't understand, they knew one thing, anyway, the situation was not good.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother suddenly became anxious and quickly opened the express delivery and started reading.Ahmed below also looked at her anxiously, wondering what was going on?
