Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 942 Meteor Shower
There are still about [-] Ottoman troops in Bitlis.Those who can be in the city are naturally the troops of the Koprulu family, which now controls the military and political power of the Ottoman Empire.

From the beginning of the Ming army's surprise attack, the defenders in the city not only did not open the door to rescue, but closed the city gate to prevent the defeated soldiers from entering the city.Now that the defeated army outside the city has been determined, it is even more impossible to come out.

On the top of the city, there are many soldiers, all of them are very nervous, and they also look at the soldiers of the Ming army escorting many prisoners with complicated expressions.It can be said that this is a great blow to their morale.

The envoys from all walks of life looked at the heads on the top of the city, pointing to express their views one by one.

"In my opinion, we should take advantage of the situation to attack the city, and expel those captives to consume the defensive equipment of the defenders in the city. It's so breakable!"

"However, didn't the Emperor Ming say that he wanted to use those captives? He also wanted us to pay tribute food. What if all the captives died in the city?"

"That's not easy. After the city of Bitlis was taken down, wouldn't there still be prisoners in that city? Otherwise, how do you say that this fortified city can be taken down?"

"Don't forget, Emperor Ming also said that if you want to destroy the Ottoman army today, according to what you said, no matter what you do today, you will not be able to defeat it? It only takes half a day!"

"Yes, I'm really curious about how the Ming army will fight?"

"Don't you know, I heard that the Ming emperor came from the sky, he has magic spells, and can summon meteors and fire rain. Otherwise, how do you think Ke Pululu was defeated in the first battle when he came to the 20 army in person?"

"It's really possible to say that. Otherwise, why did Emperor Ming destroy the huge Mughal Empire with [-] cavalry troops? I heard that he will summon an army of undead!"

"..."

Just when their words became more and more outrageous, the remaining soldiers and horses of the Ming army, under the guidance of the imperial flag, approached the city of Bitlis.

Seeing this scene, these envoys stopped discussing and looked over there, curious to see how the Ming army would attack the city!

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

"Your Majesty, is this really possible?" Lu Xiangsheng, under the imperial flag, asked Emperor Chongzhen with doubts.

He is new here and is not familiar with the Ottoman Empire.But in his opinion, no matter what these enemies are, they are entrusted by the Ottoman court to defend the frontier, so they must be guarded by generals trusted by the court.According to what the emperor said, it really feels impossible!
Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "What's wrong? Just watch it!"

Seeing him full of confidence, Lu Xiangsheng was a little helpless, and at the same time he was a little curious, so let's take a look first!
After Emperor Chongzhen had finished speaking, a captain of Jinyiwei who was on the side took an interpreter, two people and two horses, and headed for the city of Bitlis.

The location of the imperial flag was, of course, a safe place outside the range of shelling on the top of the city.And the captain of Jinyiwei and the interpreter were going to a place under the city where they could speak.No matter how loud it is, it is impossible to hear the sound clearly where the imperial flag is.

Lu Xiangsheng looked over there and saw the imperial guard shouting and communicating with the Ottoman guard at the top of the city.

Not long after, the captain of Jinyiwei and the interpreter returned safely and reported to Emperor Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, the decree has been conveyed to the city."

Emperor Chongzhen listened and nodded to show that he understood.Then, he turned his head to look at Lu Xiangsheng beside him and said, "In a quarter of an hour, just look at the flag on the top of the city!"

This is an agreement to the defenders on the top of the city. If you agree, you will show a white flag.If you disagree, of course there is no need to raise any flags.

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng felt a little unreliable, so he suggested to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I suggest that the posture of attacking the city should also be shown to the defenders, so that it will help the defenders choose the top of the city!"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded in agreement.

However, the order was passed down one after another, and before it could be implemented, a white flag was raised over the city of Bitlis!

This time, Lu Xiangsheng was very surprised, they actually listened to His Majesty's words like this, and they raised the white flag.Will this be a problem?

Thinking of this, he quickly reminded Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, beware of fraud!"

"Hehe, what kind of deceit can there be?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but said with a smile after hearing this.

Under the monitoring of the wiretapping system, there is no way to cheat at all!
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen explained to Lu Xiangsheng: "The 20 Ottoman troops that I destroyed before, logically speaking, the responsibility for the defeat must be borne by its commander, the Ottoman Prime Minister Koprülü. He was already at Mingwei Fort. The leader of the owl must be severely punished by his family. But the Ottoman Emperor is young and his empress dowager is in charge. That Koprülü was personally promoted by the empress dowager. Punishing the Koprülü family severely will affect the authority of the empress dowager..."

Lu Xiangsheng didn't know anything about the situation in the Ottoman Empire, so he listened carefully when Emperor Chongzhen was talking.

"...In addition, when Koprulu was prime minister, he used iron and blood to suppress dissidents in the country. His son and son-in-law held important powers. Therefore, it is not easy to hold his family accountable. In the end, Koprulu His son Ahmed took over as prime minister, and the first thing he did was to rebuild the Ottoman army, not only to defend against me, but also to suppress dissidents in their country. Therefore, all the elite generals in the army are Ahmed’s Confidant subordinates..."

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng vaguely finally understood why the white flag was displayed on the top of the city.

Sure enough, I heard Emperor Chongzhen continue to say: "...Originally the Ottomans thought that gathering heavy troops would scare me and would not attack Ottomans. However, I decided to sweep the Ottoman army outside the city. Now the defenders in the city have It became an isolated city. The Ottoman Empire could not send reinforcements to rescue it. The isolated city was besieged, and there was only one end. At this time, I gave him a hope and allowed him to lead the troops to leave, and he would definitely agree. "

That's right, Emperor Chongzhen sent the imperial guards to deliver an edict to the city's top, allowing the city's defenders to get out.If you don't leave, you will die!

If you don't understand the inside story, you will put a big question mark on the success of Emperor Chongzhen's arrangement.But if you know the inside story, it is understandable that the defenders on the top of the city finally showed the white flag.

In fact, the reason why Emperor Chongzhen was so sure was that he had heard the secret conversation between Mustafa, the Ottoman envoy, and General Bitlis.If this newly formed army is lost, it will have a very serious blow to the stability of the Ahmed family.

In the original history, the Ottoman Empire attacked Central Europe and was finally defeated in Vienna.The Prime Minister at the time, this time Mustafa executed more than a dozen generals in order to shirk responsibility.However, at that time, the Ottoman Empire was not as big a threat as the Ming army is now, and the Ottoman emperor had grown up, so in the end, Mustafa could not escape the fate of being executed in the end.

In this plane, the Ottoman Empire was facing internal and external troubles. Mustafa gave the family's secret order to the guard of Bitlis, telling him that if he could not keep Bitlis, he must try to keep the elite in his hands. army.

This is the cause and effect of the whole thing. Emperor Chongzhen did not tell Lu Xiangsheng about the last point, because the previous reason is almost the same.

For Emperor Chongzhen, the reason why he wanted to let go of this Ottoman army was not to pretend to be coercive in front of various messengers.He didn't need to do this kind of thing, nor would he bother to do it.

Instead, letting go of the Ottoman army is tantamount to giving the Ottoman power minister Ahmed an extra life-saving straw, allowing him to continue to pursue high-pressure policies internally.

In this way, the Ottoman Empire will become more and more unpopular, which will create a more favorable environment for Ming to conquer and govern Ottoman.

What Emperor Chongzhen wanted was long-term peace and stability in the Ottoman Empire.As long as the original Ottoman Empire is more desperate, it will be easier to return to the rule of the Ming Dynasty.As for destroying the Ottoman army, as long as he is there, he believes there will be no obstacles.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng explained clearly why the defenders of Bitlis lit up the white flag.However, the various envoys watching the battle from a distance did not know the inside story, and they were stunned when they saw this scene.

"What's the situation, am I not mistaken? The Ottoman army in Bitlis has shown a white flag?"

"Really, you read that right, it is indeed a white flag. You see, the defenders on the top of the city have begun to gather. It seems that they are really going to surrender?"

"No way, the generals of the Ottoman Empire will really recognize the Emperor Ming's decree?"

"This is unbelievable! How powerful and invincible the Ottoman Empire was in the past! What about their backbone? What about their pride as a big country?"

“I really didn’t expect that the Ming Emperor’s prestige was so high!”

"Isn't that nonsense? Otherwise, why would we gather here?"

"..."

At this time, the messengers from all walks of life were really shocked.Even the huge Ottoman Empire was like this when facing the Ming Emperor.So what choice do these small countries and small tribes have?

Paying tribute to food and grass, it was a bit bitter, but at least I hugged the biggest thigh in the world, and I will never be bullied again, and I won’t be in danger of destroying the country. This is really a bargain!

Thinking this way in their hearts, these messengers all made up their minds, as long as they should do what to do next.

They didn't know that North Korea was also a vassal state of Ming Dynasty in the past, and many countries in Southeast Asia were also vassal states of Ming Dynasty.In the end, it disappeared into the long river of history.

Whether a country is strong or not ultimately depends on itself.

Later, they found that they had guessed slightly wrong, and the Ottoman army in Bitlis did not surrender, but was allowed to leave.However, this did not change their opinion, because this is the territory of the Ottoman Empire, and it is a town of the Ottoman Empire, but now it is occupied by the Ming army!
　There are a lot of things going on recently, thank you for the reward of 300 starting coins from Fengzongying, and thank you for the reward from Suifeng Xiaoqiao!
