Chapter 1496 Things have changed

Zhang Huangyan immediately said that, and when he left, a fierce discussion immediately formed in the palace.

No monarch will dislike his own territory and has the ambition to become a hegemon.

Mohamed is no exception. Deep down, he really wants to establish a great cause like Sultan Suleiman.

At this time, he waited for everyone to discuss, waved his hand to calm them down, and then said excitedly: "The messenger of the Chinese Alliance is right. The European Union gathered in Poland and the Habsburgs in Austria were empty. If we send troops to Vienna at this time, we will definitely be able to take Vienna and control the entire Balkans."

In history, Mohammed sent Mustafa to command the elite of the Ottoman Empire and attacked Vienna more than ten years later.

If the Ottoman attacked Vienna now, the famous Battle of Vienna would have to be advanced, and because the Polish winged cavalry who originally rescued Vienna was restrained in Poland by the Chinese Alliance, the side that won the war would most likely become the Ottoman Empire.

In this way, the entire history of Europe will be rewritten, and Europe may be the one who goes to extremes in thought.

After hearing Mohammed's words, Mostafa knew that the Sultan was moved. After all, the Chinese Alliance gave too much.

However, as the prime minister of an empire with a population of over 100 million, Mostafa is not that easy to fool.

Although there are many promises from the Chinese Alliance, they are all Europeans. Ukraine, the only one in the hands of the Chinese Alliance, has to wait for the post-war period to be divided.

"Sultan!" Mustafa said in a deep voice: "The messengers of the Chinese Alliance are indeed more attractive like what we describe, but they actually did not give us anything substantial."

Mohammed calmed down after hearing his words, but he was still very moved by Zhang Huangyan's proposal.

"The Chinese Alliance cannot directly control India and Russia. Then Europe and us, which are farther away, should not have the strength to annex." Mohammed said in a deep voice: "They want to unite with us to defeat Europe, so they indirectly explain that their strength is insufficient. Since the Chinese Alliance cannot truly threaten us, why don't we take this opportunity to defeat our old opponent, Europe, with the help of the Chinese Alliance?"

Mostafa felt something was wrong in his heart, but at this time he could not find any reason to refuse.

Just as Mohammed was about to make a decision, an official entered the hall and whispered to Mustafa.

Mustafa raised his brow and interrupted Mohammed who was about to speak, "Sultan, wait, there is a new situation!"

Mohammed frowned, "What's going on?"

Mustafa laughed and said, "The messenger of King Louis XIV of the Dharma has also arrived."

The Ottomans and France have been forming an alliance for nearly a hundred years, and there are frequent exchanges between the two sides, which is enough for old acquaintances.

Mohamed raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Where is the French messenger also coming to Istanbul?"

Mustafa smiled and said, "Your Majesty, now that the Chinese Alliance and the European Union are in war, neither side is sure to win, and they both want to obtain foreign aid to win the war. The current situation is very beneficial to us. Since we have heard what the Chinese Alliance envoy said, why not listen to what the French envoy said?"

Mohammed smiled and nodded. He understood that it was like doing business. There was only one buyer before, but now there was another one, and there was only one goods, so he could start the price.

...

After Zhang Huangyan returned to the inn, he stayed in the inn and waited for news.

This wait took only three days, but no news came from the Ottoman government.

This made Zhang Huangyan a little confused. The Ottoman Empire should not have considered it for so long.

The longer this matter is, the more unfavorable it is to convince the Ottoman Empire. The matter of union must be finalized as soon as possible when the Sultan of Mohammed is lost by the promise of the alliance.

There is no news from the Ottoman government now, which makes Zhang Huangyan a little worried, so he sent his entourage to go out to inquire about the news.

At this time, the people who went out had not returned, but the carriage from the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Ottoman Empire arrived outside the inn and directly took Zhang Huangyan to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhang Huangyan sat in the hall for a long time before Mustafa arrived slowly.

"Great Vizier!" Zhang Huangyan stood up and bowed slightly.

Mustafa walked to his seat and sat down, then smiled and said, "Please sit by the messenger."

The two of them sat down, and each of them had an own translator.

Mostafa looked at Zhang Huangyan again, and suddenly laughed: "Sultan and I have considered the matter of the Chinese Alliance asking for the Alliance."

Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but lean forward when he heard this, "I don't know what the Ottoman Empire is thinking about?"

"This is indeed an opportunity for the empire!" Mostafa changed his tone, "But we have no intersection with your country, and it is difficult for both sides to establish trust immediately. Since your country wants to alliance with us this time, should you show sincerity first?"

Zhang Huangyan frowned and noticed that things had changed. "I don't know what sincerity the Ottoman Empire needs us to show."

Mustafa smiled and said, "First hand over the land in Ukraine, five hundred miles near the Black Sea."

Zhang Huangyan was surprised when he heard this, but his face was calm. "Just as the Prime Minister said, it is impossible to establish trust between our two countries at once, and I cannot make the decision of the Prime Minister, but I can ask the emperor for instructions."

Zhang Huangyan did not say anything to death, and hoped to continue to deal with it.

But Mustafa stood up after hearing the words, "Okay, please ask for instructions first, and then let's discuss."

After speaking, Mustafa left the living room directly.

When Zhang Huangyan returned to the inn, Jinbao greeted him, "Zhang Shanjun, how is the situation?"

"Tell me!" Zhang Huangyan entered the room, drank a bowl of tea, and then shook his head and said, "The situation is not very optimistic. The Ottoman side wants us to cede Ukraine first."

Goldberg seemed to have known it for a long time, "I knew it would be like this!"

Zhang Huangyan looked at him, "What news did you get?"

Jinbao nodded, "The people sent out to collect intelligence are back."

"What's the situation?" Zhang Huangyan put down the tea bowl and asked in a deep voice.

Jinbao said: "The French messenger has also arrived in Istanbul."

Zhang Huangyan suddenly realized, "This makes sense, the Ottoman Empire is starting a price."

"What should we do now? We can't make the decision. Let's ced Ukraine to the Ottoman!" Jinbao frowned.

Zhang Huangyan also frowned, and he pondered for a while, "This matter needs to be reported to the emperor as soon as possible, and it depends on how the emperor decides!"

Speaking of this, he looked at Jinbao, "I will stay in Istanbul, so please ask Zhongcheng to go back!"
