Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 934 Braking with static
Persia is about to end, what is going on?Ahmed had a vague premonition that it might have something to do with the Ming Dynasty!
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw the empress dowager's face turned pale, her body swayed, and the emergency report in her hand fell to the ground.

The maid on the side hurriedly supported her, and panicked.

But after the empress dowager came back to her senses, she pushed them away, without caring about her image, she immediately bent down to pick up the urgent report, and read it again.

This time, she finished it quickly.Then, he raised his head, looked at Ahmed, and said in a trembling voice: "The Ming army captured most of Persia, including Isfahan, and was captured by the Ming army. The Persian emperor Abba Si II, life and death are currently unknown!"

Even if the empress dowager didn't care about the affairs outside the palace, as the feud of the Ottoman Empire, she knew something about it.Now that most of Persia has been captured by the Ming army, and even the capital is gone, so what if Abbas II is still alive?This situation is definitely not going to be reversed!

For a long time, when the Ottoman Empire was at its strongest, it could not destroy the Persian Empire.But now, how much time has passed, and it will be wiped out by the Ming army.Judging from this point, if the Ming army came over, would the Ottoman Empire be able to stop it?

While speaking, this urgent delivery was forwarded to Ahmed by the maid.At the same time, the empress dowager, who looked terrified, asked in a hopeful tone: "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty once said that anyone who offended him would be killed no matter how far away he was. Look, can we stop it?" Ming army?"

Ahmed didn't answer her question, and all his attention was on the urgent report.After receiving it, he quickly looked up.

Before he finished watching, his face was already pale.

Compared with the Queen Mother, Ahmed is more familiar with the situation.It can be seen from this urgent report that the Ming army was completely crushing against the Persian army.In his impression of the Persian army, when facing the Ming army, it was like a chicken and a dog.

After reading the emergency report and thinking a little deeper, he almost guessed the reason.

First, the elite army of the Persian Empire was completely lost during the expedition to Mughal.Together with the country, for the Ming army, it was frightening.How can you fight without morale?
Second, I received news from the border guard that Abbas II had suppressed rebels everywhere in the country, and the foundation was unstable, which further encouraged the Ming army's offensive.

Thinking of this, Ahmed was suddenly dumbfounded.

Because he suddenly discovered that the current situation of the Ottoman Empire seemed to be the same as the previous Persian Empire.

His father led the country's elite army to go out, and only about [-] defeated soldiers were able to return in the end.Later, in order to keep the family, he suppressed it with iron and blood, and taxed heavily to rebuild the army.

At this time, the Ottoman Empire's foundation was unstable due to tax collection, and the rebuilt army had not yet formed combat effectiveness.At least it is incomparable to the previous army.

If the Ming army does not attack, it does not matter if the foundation is unstable or the army's combat effectiveness is poor. As long as there is enough time, these are really not problems.

But the key at present is that the Ming army is about to destroy the Persian Empire, which means it has reached the border of the Ottoman Empire.If the Ming army continues to attack, the Ottoman Empire is at its weakest right now, and there is no way to fight!

Thinking of this, Ahmed felt very bitter in his heart.The weakness of the Ottoman Empire was caused by him and his father.In the current situation, there is no way to let others take the blame!
"...Can you stop the Ming army?" The empress dowager became a little anxious when she saw that Ahmed didn't answer, and asked in a serious tone, "Tell me!"

At this time, Ahmed finally came back to his senses. He looked up and saw that the Empress Dowager seemed to be a little angry. We can still fight!"

Because of beliefs, the Ottoman Empire has been fighting with European countries.The emperors of the Ottoman Empire and their famous ministers all wanted to conquer Europe as their mission.

Without the flapping of the butterfly wings of Emperor Chongzhen, after Ahmed's death, his brother-in-law took power and eventually launched the famous Battle of Vienna to compete for Central Europe.

It can be seen from this that what is not conquered by the Ottoman Empire is its feud.When Koprulu led the army to go out, the frontier troops on the western border to defend against the Central European countries were not mobilized.It is also for this reason that if we say that the most elite army of the Ottoman Empire is the western frontier army.That's why Ahmed said this.

When the empress dowager heard this, she was taken aback for a moment, but when she came back to her senses, she had to admit that perhaps she could only use the western frontier army, but if the western frontier army was mobilized, what would happen to the western border?
With that in mind, she voiced her concern.

For Ottoman, the Ming army is the enemy, and those in Central Europe are also Ottoman's enemy.Is it feasible to dig the west wall and repair the east wall?

Ahmed couldn't answer this question, because he knew that if those countries in Central Europe knew that the western border of the empire was empty, they would probably take advantage of it and loot it.Send people to negotiate peace with them, saying that the eastern border of Ottomans will be threatened by the Ming army. Let's make peace first and let us deal with the Ming army, okay?The answer must be [-]% negative.

Unless you sign a shameful treaty with those countries in Central Europe, cede land and pay compensation, etc.It is absolutely impossible for those countries to stand by without paying a huge price.

Instead of this, it would be better to sign a treaty with the Ming army.At least as far as the Ming army is concerned, it used to be that well water does not offend river water.The reason for the fight this time was because my old foolish father believed Abbas II's slander and took the initiative to fight the Ming army.

Thinking of this, Ahmed carefully chose his words, then looked at the Empress Dowager and said, "Empress Dowager, as far as I know, those countries in the west wish that we would be destroyed by the Ming army. If you mobilize the western frontier army at any cost, It’s just a matter of filling their bottomless pit first.”

How can a bottomless pit be filled flat?The Queen Mother couldn't help but be very disappointed after hearing this.But she also knew in her heart that Ahmed was right.

Frowning, she complained to Ahmed and said: "You are the one who said to transfer the western frontier army, and you are the one who said it was not good to transfer the western frontier army. What do you want?"

"Forgive me, Queen Mother!" Ahmed pondered for a while before answering her: "I thought, how many soldiers and horses can the Ming army have when they come from a long way? Taking up such a large Persia, there may not be enough troops." What's more, long-distance marches and wars, army morale, soldier fatigue, and food and grass supply are all problems. Therefore, there may be no need to worry. It should be impossible for the Ming army to continue to fight our Ottoman Empire after fighting Persia! "

When the empress dowager heard it, it seemed reasonable!Before, I was anxious, but now I calm down and think about it, it is true!

Thinking of it this way, she finally didn't worry so much.

At this time, Ahmed was still analyzing: "We think that the reason why the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty behaved so aggressively is because he wanted to subdue us, the Ottomans. In doing so, he was nothing more than giving an explanation to his subjects, especially those who were Those killed by my Ottoman army. In addition, maybe they also want to get some benefits from our Ottomans."

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager felt relieved a lot, her face softened, and her voice became softer and she asked, "Then how should we deal with it?"

"My minister thinks that it is better to brake quietly!" Ahmed had already cleared his mind when he said this, and immediately replied, "Put up a defensive posture on the Persian border and let the Ming army know. Attacking us Ottomans, they must pay a huge price! Then we will see what the emperor of the Ming Dynasty does, and then we will see each other again!"

After hearing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but be overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, what a calm stop, I like it!"

After finishing speaking, she laughed happily, and then she said again: "I will leave the affairs outside the palace to you. I am most at ease! Just do as you say!"

"The humble minister leads the decree!" Ahmed immediately saluted after hearing this.

After leaving the palace, Ahmed left in a hurry.Although when facing the empress dowager, he seemed to be confident and confident.But in fact, he really has no bottom.Because the emperor of the Ming Dynasty absolutely cannot be theorized in the usual way.

There is no way, I can only use twelve minutes of energy to deal with it first, hoping to scare the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so let's stop at Persia!
........................

However, what he didn't know was that at this time, Yan Yingyuan's troops only left a small force to supervise the construction of the port and the new city by the Persian captives. He had already personally led the army and landed on the Arabian Peninsula.

At this time, the Arabian Peninsula was already part of the Ottoman Empire, but was later occupied by Portugal on the southern coast of the Persian Gulf.However, Portugal did not hold on, and was driven away by Abbas I of Persia and the British and Dutch colonists, and by the way, all the natives on the south coast who supported Portugal were killed.

The Yariba dynasty of Oman also participated in driving away the Portuguese.The Portuguese all remember this.Now, relying on the strength of the Ming army, Phillips officially proposed to the Ming army that the Ming army should assist in revenge and destroy the Ariba dynasty.In return, they did not want any other land previously occupied by the Portuguese, only the Ariba Dynasty.

As the allies, what was set at the beginning was to advance and retreat together.Logically speaking, their request is no problem.Therefore, Yan Yingyuan agreed.

Of course, in the attack on the Ariba Dynasty, the Portuguese were naturally the vanguard, and the Ming army only assisted.You can't just help you fight it down when the alliance arrives, and then give it to you. Is that still an alliance?
