I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

After calculating with Daming the money that needs to be paid, the representatives of various countries brought Daming's supervisory soldiers back to the country as soon as possible, and began to prepare the money. Let's bring back the equipment as quickly as possible to strengthen our own armed forces.

In August, some countries with sufficient assets prepared payment funds and went to the Gulf of Aden to settle the bill.

But I don't know if they are unlucky, or the pirates' intelligence capabilities are too strong.

The ships from various countries went to checkout, and they were besieged by pirates not long after they set out to sea.

The money to buy the equipment was robbed, all the soldiers protecting the money were killed, and the ships transporting it sank into the vast sea.

At first I thought it was an accident, but when things happened one after another, countries began to become suspicious.

If it's just one or two accidents, it may be really bad luck to meet this group of pirates.

But now that the forces of many countries are like this, it makes these countries suspicious, wondering if these pirates have anything to do with Daming.

The reason why they doubt Daming, but not other countries or internal forces in the country, is because some countries knew that other countries that transported money had been robbed by pirates, so they chose to travel in secret, but they were still robbed by pirates.

And those ships that did not transport money, although they occasionally encountered pirates, most of them were safe.

This time, let the countries feel guilty.

You don’t want to grab a ship that doesn’t have any money on it, but you can grab every one of my money-carrying ships. It won’t make me doubt you. It’s really hard to do.

What happened later made this point even more certain for the countries.

One of the cases may have discovered that these pirates were related to Ming Dynasty, so they set up a smoke bomb for safety.

Get a few empty ships and take Ming's soldiers to Aden, while the real money-drawing ships are disguised as ordinary merchant ships.

As a result, the boat that pulled the money was robbed, but the boat that actually pulled the money arrived in Aden safely.

After the news spread, the initial goodwill towards Daming from all over the world completely disappeared without a trace.

It's not that they never thought about questioning Zheng He, but when they thought of the two steel battleships docked in the Gulf of Aden and the huge fleet, the anger in their hearts disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The power disparity between the two sides is too great.

Weak countries have no diplomacy.

The anger of weak and small countries is nothing compared to those powerful countries.

Countries that understand this truth deeply, looked at the invitation letter from the Ottoman Empire, the most powerful Western power, and secretly made a decision.

November of the third year of Hongxi in the Ming Dynasty.

Representatives from various countries who received the invitation came to Istanbul, the capital of Ottoman.

This meeting, which gathered most of the western countries, was held on November 11.

"Gentlemen, welcome to Istanbul. I am Baron Oliver, Minister of State of the Ottoman Empire. I will preside over today's meeting."

In the morning, the meeting was held in one of the main halls of the palace.

Representatives from various countries sat expressionlessly in the assigned positions, staring at Baron Oliver who appeared above.

Seeing that the representatives of all countries looked over, Oliver cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Gentlemen, the crisis that threatens the entire West has come again. The degree of horror of this crisis will surpass the Mongol Empire and seriously threaten our country. The survival of the race."

As soon as Oliver started, he dropped a piece of news that made everyone breathless.

"Some people may think that I am scaremongering, but I can tell you clearly that this is reality, it is something that will happen in the future, and it is a disaster that will definitely happen in the future."

Turning around and grabbing the cloth covering the board behind him, Oliver pulled hard, and the cloth on it slipped off, revealing a map that surprised everyone.

This is a huge map, with many large and small lands scattered on it, and there are markings in Ottoman characters on the large and small lands.

"This map is the top secret of our Ottomans. In order to fight against the evil enemy, our Majesty the King took out this map and shared it with you."

Looking at the shocked and greedy gazes below, the corners of Baron Oliver's mouth curled up slightly.

This map was obtained from the east by the Ottoman Empire at countless costs.

According to the person who sold the map, this is a world map collected by the Eastern countries for more than ten decades.

Not only are the various countries marked on it, but there are also many unknown continents in the West.

There are no national powers on these unknown continents in the west, but only a group of uncivilized barbarians.

There are countless untapped treasures on it, as long as one of the continents is taken, a country can survive for thousands of years.

Originally, the Ottoman Empire planned to use this map to annex those unowned lands.

Thinking of Daming's terrifying strength in intelligence, the Ottoman Empire knew that it would be difficult for Ottomans alone to stop Daming's progress.

Aumurad is also a ruthless person. After realizing that he could not compete with Daming, he simply dragged the entire West into the water.

Since I am an Ottoman and am not your opponent, Ming, then I will pull the whole of the West to fight with you.

Aumurad didn't believe it anymore, uniting the power of the whole West couldn't stop Ming's invasion.

After defeating Ming in the future, relying on the strength of the Ottoman Empire in the west, not only will it not become weaker due to fighting with Ming during the alliance period, it is likely to become stronger.

As long as you move your hands and feet in the battle with Ming, the power of other western countries will be weakened. Once Ming is defeated, the Ottoman Empire will be unrivaled in the west.

Those unowned lands will also become Ottoman territory.

And he, Omurad, will fulfill his childhood wish and become the greatest emperor in the world.

Baron Oliver, who was standing on the side of the map, stepped forward and raised a baton in his hand after everyone slowly woke up from the shock of the map.

"Gentlemen, Daming, the golden kingdom in the east, I believe everyone is familiar with it!"

The representatives of various countries in the audience nodded slightly.

In the past, Da Ming was very strange to them, and many of them had never even heard of Da Ming's existence.But since the military exhibition, Daming has been synonymous with power and invincibility in the subconscious minds of Western countries.

The East has become an object that countries look up to and fear.

Seeing everyone nodding, Oliver continued to speak.

"I believe everyone knows about Da Ming, but they don't know how powerful Da Ming is, let alone how many troops they have in their territory."

Hearing such a question, everyone in the audience fell into silence.

Yes, they only know how powerful Daming is.

But how strong Daming is, they really don't know at all.

He raised his hand and knocked on the table, attracting the attention of the silent crowd.

Oliver took a deep breath, and clicked on the location of the easternmost island on the map.

"This is the famous Penglai Province, the most marginal territory in the east of the Ming Dynasty, and further east is the endless sea."

Then the baton slid down and pointed to the Malacca area.

"There are countless islands and continents here. I regret to tell you gentlemen that this is also under the control of Daming."

After introducing the situation in the south, Oliver took a deep breath and pointed to the land in the north that was several times the size of Europe.

"here."

Stretching out his hand to draw a big circle, Oliver said in a low voice: "This huge and hopeless land is the land of Daming. From south to north, to the sea, it belongs to Daming."

"hiss!"

There was a sound of gasping for air from below.

They already thought that Da Ming was very powerful, but now it seems that their imagination is still too weak.

God, is this the territory that a country should have? I'm afraid God will not be able to do this step.

Before everyone could consume the fact that made them desperate, Oliver reached out and touched the edge of the Golden Horde.

"This is Sarai, the marginal territory of the Golden Horde, which was once a subordinate state of the Mongol Empire. I regret to tell you gentlemen that all the way to the east from top to bottom, except for the Timur Empire, is all the land of Ming Dynasty. "

Quite a few of Weiwei's representatives suddenly slumped on the chairs, their faces full of bewilderment.

Apart from the heavy panting, there was no sound in the hall anymore.

Everyone was so frightened, Oliver seemed not to give up, and once again gave everyone a hard blow.

"Gentlemen, I regret to tell you here that the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence and the map in our hands that I just mentioned were three years ago."

"In the past three years, Daming has never stopped. Only God knows how powerful they are now."

The Ottoman Empire didn't believe in God, but today's meeting was all from Western countries. Oliver didn't want to argue about racial beliefs, so he directly pulled God out, hoping to bring everyone closer.

"Gentlemen! In order to let everyone understand Daming more intuitively, we have also invited representatives of the Timurid Empire who have been at war with Ming for nearly 10 years and are still in stalemate."

When the representatives of various countries looked at the map in a daze, Oliver once again spoke a piece of news that surprised everyone.

The Timurid Empire, many Western countries have heard of this name, but Ottoman and two sheep are blocking the front, and they have not had any contact with this country.

But they know that this country is also very strong, and it once beat Osman to the ground.

In the Battle of Ankara decades ago, the Ottoman Legion was defeated by Timur. According to the knowledge of all countries, it seems that even the king of the Ottoman Empire was captured.

At that time, Ottoman was still attacking Byzantium, and it was because of this disastrous war that Byzantium lingered for several years.

Countries did not expect that in order to fight against Ming Dynasty, the Ottoman Empire actually put aside the life-and-death enmity between the two countries and chose to unite with the Timurid Empire.

When the representatives had different expressions, a man with a smile on his face came out from the next room.

"It's my great honor to introduce you. This is Mr. Hadar, Minister of State Affairs from the Timurid Empire!"

"Good morning, gentlemen!"

Following Baron Oliver's introduction, Hadar, who stepped onto the stage, bowed slightly.

Regardless of what they thought in their hearts, the representatives of various countries in the audience applauded and welcomed them with smiles on their faces.

"Okay, gentlemen, next is Mr. Hadar, who will introduce you to the current situation of Daming."

Oliver stepped aside with a smile, leaving the seat for Hadar.

"Thank you Baron Oliver!"

The two sides had already discussed what to say, Hadar said politely, and then stood off the stage and faced the representatives of various countries.

"Da Ming is an ancient country in the east. They have existed for thousands of years like Egypt. Although they have been invaded by other countries many times, their own heritage has never been defeated."

Hadar didn't talk about the strength of Daming at the beginning, but introduced the history and origin of Daming to everyone.

"A hundred years ago, the Mongols swept the world. At that time, the Song Dynasty, the last country of Ming Dynasty, was also conquered by it and ruled by the Mongols."

"The Mongols later established a dynasty there, named Dayuan, and planned to occupy it permanently."

"It's a pity that history seems to have reincarnation. Even if it is as powerful as Dayuan, it is like the foreign race that occupied Daming before. After only a few generations of emperors, the power of the country has declined extremely quickly."

"Later, there was a miraculous man who fought all the way from a beggar, defeated countless enemies, drove away the Great Yuan founded by the Mongols, and established the present Daming. Zhu Yuanzhang, known as the Great Emperor Hongwu!"

"The life of this emperor can be called a legend. When he was a child..."

"After growing old as an emperor, his grandson took over the throne, but unfortunately he couldn't lead the country and was taken away by his uncle. The current ruler of Ming Dynasty, to be precise, is the one who abdicated three years ago. This is the uncle who robbed his nephew of the throne."

Following Hadar's narration, the people below seemed to be listening to the scriptures, amazed for a while, and dazed for a while.

The history of Zhu Yuanzhang's fortune made them feel miraculous.

In their thinking, with such a legendary life, it is estimated that the Son of God could not be so lucky.

But after Zhu Di's coup d'état, they were very calm, and there was no surprise.

This kind of thing is already commonplace for all countries, and there is nothing surprising.

On the contrary, it was Zhu Di's history of conquest that made them feel awe.

"Now the emperor Zhu Di who conquered a huge territory has abdicated, and now his son is in charge of this powerful empire."

"According to the information we have received, the emperor in control of Daming is a benevolent emperor who does not love war. He prefers to resolve issues peacefully through negotiations."

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Such an emperor is good, especially the emperor of the enemy country, that is even better.

But before everyone was out of breath, Hadar's words lifted their hearts again.

"Perhaps everyone thinks this way first. The current Emperor Ming doesn't like war, which is good news for us."

"But here, I have to pour a basin of cold water on everyone. The current emperor does not have much power in Daming. It is the son of the current emperor who really controls the direction of Daming and the future destiny of Daming. , that is, the future successor of Daming."

Is it possible that the prince can control the emperor?

The representatives of various countries did not believe this at the first time.

A prince has such a great power, why didn't he rebel against himself and take that position, instead he procrastinated like this to give his father a chance to come back, isn't it stupid?

Noticing the disbelief in the eyes of the representatives of various countries below, Hadar shrugged with a smile.
