Chapter 18 Alliance Request

Sueman was indeed scared all the way. He originally thought that the dense warships in Xingcheng Port were all the Navy of the Ming Empire, but he did not expect that after arriving at Dongdaying, there were also warships on the sea. What was even more terrifying was the huge city next to the port.

The capital of the Ottoman Empire can be said to be a super city famous in continental areas, with a population of nearly one million. However, in front of the huge Dongdaying, it seems to be a little bit small.

He originally thought that this was the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but he never thought that Xiao Jiucheng did not stop here at all, but took him on the train and continued on the way!

He has heard of some steel monsters like trains. There are many trains in Spain in Europe. They are also countries along the Mediterranean coast. Naturally, many people in the Ottoman Empire have seen trains, but not many people have taken trains, so Sueman has never taken one.

The steel monster is really an iron monster. It can actually run by itself, and it runs faster than a galloping horse!

He had not yet woken up from the shock of taking the train for the first time, but the capital of the Ming Dynasty had arrived. Oh my God, what a terrifying super city this is. No matter which direction you look at it, you can't see the edge. The train faster than a galloping horse drove around the city wall for a long time before entering the city!

He was really frightened by the strength of the Ming Empire. He originally thought that the Ming Empire was stupid and had a lot of money, but he wanted to come over to fight Qiufeng. Now, he really wanted to be an envoy and promote the alliance between the Ottoman Empire and the Ming Empire.

Yes, it is necessary to promote an alliance between the two countries. He is a little greedy, but it does not mean that he is an unattainable fool. On the contrary, he is quite smart, otherwise he would not have been able to stand out from many competitors and become one of the most trusted confidants of His Majesty the Ottoman Emperor.

He wanted to promote an alliance between the two countries, not just for the sake of the Ottoman Empire. His main purpose was to find a big backer. After all, he was not the only confidant of His Majesty the Ottoman Emperor. He had many competitors, and the struggle in the palace was quite cruel. If you were not careful, you might be eaten by your opponents without even leaving any residue.

It would be different if we could have a strong backer like the Ming Empire. No matter who wants to touch him, we must consider the consequences. The Ming Empire is a country that is even stronger than the Ottoman Empire!

Therefore, after seeing Zhu Cijiu, he was extremely respectful, and he was even more respectful than seeing Ibrahim.

Zhu Cijing didn't feel anything special, because almost everyone was very respectful in front of him. He was used to it. After a few polite greetings, he asked directly: "Mr. Su, I wonder what the so-called you are leading an envoy to the Ming Dynasty this time?"

He also knew that this guy was here to be corrupt. The reason why he asked this was to give him a chance to speak, see what he wanted, send him a boat, and then have someone beat him up and have a lot of food and drink to serve him, and then deal with it.

But I never thought that after hearing the translation's explanation, Sueman immediately bowed seriously: "Dear Emperor of the Ming Empire, I am here this time to be entrusted by our Ottoman Emperor to discuss the alliance between the two countries with your country. I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor is willing to form an alliance with our Ottoman Empire?"

Damn, what is the singing? I don’t seem to have heard of the Ottoman Empire’s intention to form an alliance. Zhu Cijiu couldn’t help but look at Xiao Jiucheng. However, this guy was also confused. It seemed that he didn’t know about this.

It is a good thing to form an alliance. There was no direct conflict between the Ottoman Empire and the Ming Dynasty. It would be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty if it formed an alliance with such a powerful empire. But the problem seems that they have fought with Spain and the Holy Roman Empire. I wonder how the relationship is now. If the hatred is as deep as the sea, then this alliance will not be formed.

Zhu Cijiu said with a little regret: "I have no objection to the alliance, but you seem to be hostile to Spain and the Holy Roman Empire, so this problem is a bit troublesome, because Spain is an ally of the Ming Dynasty, and the current emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, Princess Anna, Princess Anna, is my concubine."

What trouble does this mean? Sueman immediately patted his chest and said, "His Majesty the Emperor, please rest assured. As long as the Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire form an alliance, I immediately propose to our Emperor to stop military operations against Spain and the Holy Roman Empire. Even if Spain and the Holy Roman Empire are willing, we can consider forming an alliance with them!"

In his opinion, hatred is nothing wrong. He has never fought with Spain and the Holy Roman Empire. On the contrary, if he can join Spain and the Holy Roman Empire, then his prestige in the Ottoman Empire would be unmatched, and it would not be impossible to become the prime minister who held power alone!

This is a good idea. If it can really promote the alliance between the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburg dynasty, it will be even more beneficial to the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Cijing heard this and nodded and said, "Well, if this is the case, there will be no problem with the alliance between the Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire, I will be sure."

Sueman didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire was so straightforward and he would be approved so soon. The problem was not ready. This alliance was just a temporary plan. It took a lot of effort to return to the country to promote this matter. His Majesty the Emperor was okay, because he had some brain problems, so it was hard to say other confidants. What should I do?

He frowned and pondered for a while, and said awkwardly: "This, thank you for your kindness from the Emperor. However, our Emperor has just succeeded to the throne, and there are still some powerful ministers in the country who do not listen to him very much. I have to go back and mediate the alliance to make it happen. I also ask His Majesty the Emperor to give me some time."

Zhu Cijiong was not very anxious about the alliance. He nodded directly and said, "Well, there is no problem. There is no hurry to form an alliance. I haven't treated you well yet. Otherwise, you can travel around the Ming Dynasty before going back."

Su Yiman still has the intention to have fun. After he went back, he immediately came to Xiao Jiucheng and asked him for help. He tried to find something for him that could prove the prosperity of the Ming Empire. He could deceive the emperor and settle other confidants when he went back.

Xiao Jiucheng didn't dare to take action on his own. Soon, he ran to the palace and reported to the emperor.

This made Zhu Cijiu stumped. What should he take back?

Are super battleships? Don’t joke, the Ming Dynasty is not enough now. Besides, the value of a super battleship is millions of taels. If you don’t fill it up at a time, you won’t achieve the effect. The investment is too big and it won’t be worth it.

Are muskets and cannons? It’s not realistic. Take a bunch of muskets and cannons back. Are you trying to rebel or what?

If the weapon is not good, you can only spend money. In fact, the processing level of Chongzheng Tongbao is also very high. People with famous eyes can see it at a glance. Whether in terms of material or craftsmanship, Chongzheng Tongbao requires a very high processing level to be made.

The dragon coins are also good, and the cities, warships, trains and bridges printed on them can prove the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

So Zhu Cijiong issued an order directly to prepare one million gold coins, one million silver coins, and ten thousand exquisitely mounted dragon coins for Sueman, and asked him to take them back to smash people. As for how to smash them, it was Sueman's business.
