Win the Ding 1617

Huang Taiji is dead? !Hearing such sudden news, Shi Lang and Li Huamei were quite surprised and even shocked!Shi Lang had a delicate expression on his face, and some thoughts were running in his mind. He had already begun to quickly analyze what kind of impact Huang Taiji's death would have on the internal power structure of the Liaodong rebels. Can Dorgon, who has fought against him several times, reach the peak of power of the Liao bandit group?

These ideas can only be confirmed and analyzed after Li Shouhan learns the details about Huang Taiji's death.However, this time is an occasion to receive envoys from all over the world, so no matter what, they can't open their mouths to ask.

"Why did Hua Chen stay in the Li family's mouth?"

Li Shouhan, who was sitting high on the throne, didn't have the overwhelming thoughts in Shi Lang's mind at all, he just asked about the whereabouts of his fifth son, Li Huachen, who was traveling westward with his elder sister and elder brother-in-law.

"Father, the fifth younger brother followed the Erchens and his wife to the sea this time, and shouted along the way. It is true that traveling thousands of miles is far better than reading thousands of books. When the fleet first arrived at Krumos, they wanted to follow the example of the second younger brother, The actions of the third brother and others, staying in the local area, also opened up the territory for our Southern Guangdong Army. However, Hua Mei is worried about the local customs, the people's customs are strong, and there are many races, customs and beliefs are different, and the affairs are complicated. My brother couldn't bear it physically, so I didn't allow it."

"I didn't expect that when the bones were all over, the fifth brother brought it up again. Although he was reprimanded by Hua Mei again this time, I thought that the fifth brother was dedicated to building achievements, and I was afraid of hurting his heart. I also talked with Hua in private. Mei discussed, if there is a suitable place, why not leave a team and a few ships for the fifth younger brother, and let him use it."

"When the fleet arrived at Lijiakou, the fifth younger brother proposed to guard the place where Europa and Ottoman's throat is located. Seeing that his intention was very firm, Hua Mei and I couldn't stop it any longer, so we left 2000 people behind. With more than ten ships of various sizes and more than a hundred cannons, and another 50 silver dollars with him."

"I didn't want us to go ahead, so the fifth younger brother sent troops from Li's mouth, crossed the sea to conquer the natives on the opposite side, and conquered several native and Spanish cities in one fell swoop. Using the wealth obtained in the city to recruit natives in the local area Then go north to Lijiakou to intimidate the Spaniards!"

Sure enough, the sons of the Li family were all good players, and they were fascinated by this kind of bullying and bullying the weak.

In one fell swoop, it conquered several cities in North Africa across the sea from Lijiakou.He also recruited strong soldiers from among these Moors to form his own armed forces.Follow the swing to the north, threatening the Spaniards.At the same time, declare freedom of belief on your own territory, on the premise that you must abide by my laws and systems, otherwise, cannons and steel knives will teach you to be a man!

Such a move not only gave the Southern Cantonese Army a solid support to guard the dividing point between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, and control the key points between Europa and North Africa, but also because of the Spaniards' actions in the Iberian Peninsula. Immediately, the Ottoman Sultan Ibrahim I next door was very happy, thinking that this was the angel sent by Hu Da to his side!

At this time, the Ottoman Sultan Ibrahim I succeeded his elder brother Murad IV in 1640.

One of his courtiers once described him like this: "The sultan fell into the hands of his confidants and companions in the harem, dwarfs, mutes, eunuchs and women. Together they made a mess of everything." It can be seen that such a monarch What will happen to the Ottoman Empire when the dynasty takes power?

Therefore, the Ottoman Sultan Ibrahim I prepared to send important officials to catch up with the fleet of Shi Lang, Li Huamei and his wife by fast boat, claiming that he would go to the east to visit His Royal Highness the Great Duke.

However, at present, various forces within the Ottoman Empire are also intertwined, and they all urgently need a strong help to help them defeat their opponents in one fell swoop.After a criss-cross fight of interests among various factions in the country, a balance was finally reached in the shortest possible time.The Coprilu family has been recognized by various forces.

Thus, Muhammad Coprilu, the favorite minister of His Majesty the Sultan, and Winstanley, the backbone of the British Parliamentary Army, appeared at the dinner hosted by His Royal Highness Duke Lee for the messengers from afar.

The Dutchman, on the other hand, was very aggrieved and sat far away from His Highness the Duke.Under the illumination of the lights, His Royal Highness' facial features could barely be seen clearly.However, the lowlanders were immediately relieved.As long as His Royal Highness can ensure our business interests, let alone enjoy a sumptuous dinner in the banquet hall.It is not impossible to let us go to the door of the toilet to eat!

As a very qualified businessman, the integrity of the Dutch has been completely replaced by gold coins and silver dollars.As long as they can exchange for those shiny yellow hard goods, they can sell food to the enemy, sell weapons to the enemy, and sell gunpowder to the enemy.Let them use it to attack their own country's army.

However, the Dutch people would never know that the English soil turtle in front of them will leave a strong mark in the history of human thought and philosophy in the future.

After the end of the English Civil War, Winstanley will become the leader of the Diggers. In January 1649, Winstanley published the "New Law of Justice", proposing to jointly use the land and enjoy the fruits of the land on the basis of public ownership of land thought of.In order to realize this ideal, in April 1, he led a group of poor farmers to reclaim wasteland on St. George's Hill, Saley County.This is the famous Digger Movement in British history.As the leader of the Digger movement, Winstanley's main works are: "New Laws of Justice" (1649), "Declaration of the Oppressed Poor of England" (4) and "Liberty Law" (1649).

Moreover, he is regarded as the founder of utopian socialism.

It can be said that the front of the food is full of food, and the wine and meat are piled up.Compared with the diet of the European land turtles who had just crawled out from the dark age of the Middle Ages at this time, Li Shouhan, the duke, entertained guests with extremely sumptuous banquets.Especially considering the eating customs of the visitors, chickens and ducks are lined up on the table, fish and shrimps are piled up, and cattle and sheep are placed on a plate.

"Your Highness, the courtier of His Majesty the Ottoman Sultan, his Kul Muhammad Koprulu, would like to express his most respectful greetings to you." Shaking the wide sleeves, under the reflection of the lights, the satin robe on Koprulu's body flickered With a seductive light.

He said it respectfully, but Koprilu stood proudly, just crossed his hands in front of his chest, and bent slightly, as a salute.

The Dutch present couldn't help but sneered in their hearts, "You bastard heretics. In the past, you used to rely on your strength to dominate us, the people of God, and now you still want to use this trick on Duke Li. , I'm afraid I'm going to be unlucky!"

These Dutchmen.They are all old fritters who have traveled back and forth between Amsterdam, Lisbon and Nanzhong. They are very familiar with the customs and customs of various places along the way, and they also have a close understanding of the habits, rules and regulations, customs and taboos of the Southern Guangdong Army.They know, anyone.Even if you are the Pope, you must kneel down and kowtow according to oriental etiquette when you meet Duke Li.

But today, Koprulu just bowed and planned to get away with it, how could this be possible? !

All the Southern Guangdong Army present, from Li Peilin to Li Peilin, military officers from Zheng Zhilong and down, immediately stopped drinking. The whole banquet hall fell silent immediately, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.

Some of the guards and personal soldiers on duty at the gate and in the banquet hall have already begun to adjust their status.Ready to rush forward at any time to pull this desperate barbarian emissary out and beat him up!

"You said you were the envoy of the Ottoman Sultan? Then do you know the origin of your Sultan?" Li Shouhan put down the wine glass in his hand, narrowed his eyes, and his voice was very calm, like the water surface of a millennium cold pool.

Although he couldn't understand what Li Shouhan was saying, but from his tone of voice, Kepululu keenly sensed that this eastern monarch was about to get angry!

"Your master, the so-called Ottoman Sultan, is just a tribe under the Lumi Kingdom, which was under the vassal of the Ming Dynasty. Due to the disputes between the Thai and Western countries, the Lumi Kingdom was declining day by day, and your Ottoman just took advantage of the situation! Rebelled in Lumi. , Annexed the old master's foundation. Afterwards, he went all over the world to conquer the land, and only then did he become what he is today! But how dare you act recklessly in front of me!"

have to!Li Shouhan exposed the old background of the Ottoman Sultan!The Ottomans originally lived in the Amu Darya River Basin in Central Asia, which is actually the Khwarizm region of the Republic of Uzbekistan. They belonged to the Kay tribe of the Oghuz people in Western Turkistan, and they were the subjects of the Khwarizm Sha Dynasty at that time.They have been engaged in nomadic herding since ancient times, living by water and grass.Temujin led the Mongolian army to expand westward.forcing them to migrate.At first, they attached themselves to the Roma Sultanate established by the Seljuk Turkmen, and obtained a fief on the banks of the Sakarya River adjacent to the Byzantine Empire.After the death of tribal chief Ertogrul, his son Osman (1258-1326) succeeded to the throne.Following his father as the tribal leader, in 1299, Osman took advantage of the split of the Seljuk Sultanate of Roma and officially declared independence, titled "Ghazi", which established the embryonic form of the Ottoman state.

In 1326, after Ottoman's son Orhan (reigned from 1326 to 1360) succeeded to the throne, he was renamed the governor, established a standing army, and annexed most of the Roma Sultanate.In 1331, he wounded the king of the Byzantine Empire, captured the city of Nicaea, and moved the capital here.

After that, several generations of conquests in the east and west, fighting in the south and pulling in the north, successively snatched Western Thrace, Macedonia, Sofia, Thessaloniki and the entire northern part of Greece from the Byzantine Empire, forcing the rulers of Bulgaria and Serbia to surrender. tribute.He also defeated the Serbian, Bulgarian, and Hungarian coalition forces in the Battle of Kosovo.

In the Battle of Nicoburg in 1396, he defeated the coalition forces of Hungary, France, Germany and other countries in one fell swoop. Nearly 300 crusaders were captured. Except for the huge sum of money to redeem [-] noble knights, the rest were almost all killed. .

It can be said that he is invincible in all directions, and he is invincible.

However, historical experience tells us that it is often after the seven armies are flooded, Megatron Huaxia, and martial arts reach its peak, that it is time to go to the wonderful plot of Maicheng.

During the war with Timur the Lame Wolf, the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid was captured.He sat in the iron cage sedan chair Timur had prepared for him.

Although this battle of Ankara temporarily eased the crisis of the Byzantine Empire, it did not turn Constantinople into Istanbul so early.But it was only a temporary relief.Decades later, Ottoman became the overlord controlling western Asia, southeastern Europe, and the eastern Mediterranean. Relying on the army built by a strong centralized system, military innovation, and iron-like military discipline, the Ottoman Empire will land. Expansion to Europe and North Africa.The navy of the Ottoman Empire was not weak either. It won and protected the long-distance voyage routes of the Black Sea, Aegean Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea and Indian Ocean from the Italian city-states and the Portuguese.In one fell swoop, it controlled Europe's trade routes to the East.

However, the Battle of Ankara is an eternal pain in the hearts of successive Ottoman sultans.It has become a reverse scale and a wound that cannot be touched by others.

However, today Li Shouhan wants to uncover this reverse scale!

"Back then, in my Ming's eyes, Timur was just a consort of the Yuan Dynasty, and he accepted the canonization of my Ming Dynasty. You were defeated by my Ming vassals, how could you have the dignity in front of me?!"

I see!Li Peilin understood.My lord, this is to dispel his enthusiasm, so that he will not be too arrogant and domineering.What's so difficult about this?Speaking of since ancient times, who is my opponent in the Heavenly Dynasty?

"Your Ottoman is just of Turkic descent! The Turkic Khan was defeated by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He fled all the way to the west, and his descendants lived along the way. Only then did the Seljuks and other tribes come into being. The Turkic Khan The Ashina family, I don’t know how many officials were officials in the Great Tang Dynasty. Today, the master of my family is a nobleman of the Li family in Longxi. You are nothing more than the old slaves of his family! Today I met the old master, but what kind of prestige is there? ?!"

The conversation between the monarch and the minister was translated to Ke Pululu by Tong Shi without any hesitation, and the people present all changed their colors after hearing it.All the people in the Southern Guangdong Army were full of energy, with a look of arrogance on their faces. The guys in front of them were just old slaves, or slaves of slaves.

But the members of the mission who came with Coprilu blushed and growled and cursed in a low voice.Don't know what they are talking about.But judging from the expressions on his face, he was also irritated by what Li Shouhan and Li Peilin said.

On the contrary, Zheng Zhilong was a little stunned behind his desk. Although he knew that his in-laws had always been thick and dark, he never thought that this person was so shameless?Timur in the Yongle period and Ashina in the Zhenguan period can all be brought up by him.Is there anyone in this world who is more brazen than him?

"Father commander is really powerful!" Shi Lang smiled at the side, he had heard missionaries say that such words were spread in the land of Taixi. "If you are optimistic about a piece of land, just grab it. If you grab it, the defense lawyer will always be able to find it." Besides, we didn't grab it by force.Instead, they took out written evidence and history books from many years ago!

For many years, although the Southern Cantonese Army had never competed with the Ottoman Army on land, the right-wing fleet of Zuo Tianpeng and others had repeatedly fought against the Ottoman Empire in the Indian Ocean, the Strait of Malacca, and the Moluccas. Naval ships clash.

Moreover, according to the documents seized by Zheng Sen, the Nanyang Islands trend that has just subsided.Several of the sultans involved in the rebellion had ties to the Ottoman Empire.Everyone was waiting excitedly and a little nervously. As long as Li Shouhan made a look, gave an order, or the envoys of the Ottoman Empire made any unfavorable actions, they would immediately take down these envoys on the spot, and then marched westward. yes!

On the other hand, Koprilu didn't take it for granted. After listening to Tongshi's translation, he tidied up his clothes, and said something smoothly and calmly, which was translated by Tongshi.

"The ministers of foreign countries live in the remote wilderness and neglect etiquette. Since the king pointed out the omissions here for the ministers, the ministers should correct their mistakes."

After finishing speaking, under the guidance of the officials of the Rites Department, the mountain shouted and danced, and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times.

I don't know whether the officials of the etiquette department forgot, or Kepu Lulu didn't understand the etiquette of three bows and nine kowtows. When he stood up after kowtowing, the eyes of the Nanyue Army people looked at him much more kindly.

However, everyone does not know that the Ottoman Empire at this time, although its national strength can still overwhelm European countries on the outside, but no matter how powerful the country is, it cannot stop the emergence of mentally handicapped sultans in power, and the situation of women in power is consumed from the inside. national power.In other words, such things as listening to politics behind a curtain and eunuchs intervening in politics are not only a specialty of my celestial dynasty.

Since entering the seventeenth century AD, Ottoman has been in constant coups and rebellions. The Sultan's pro-army, which is equivalent to the Royal Forest Army, even conspired with the honorable ministers to launch a coup. The bowstring strangles.The honorable ministers who killed Osman II and the pro-military forces of the Sultan could not reach a compromise, so they lifted the mentally handicapped Mustafa I who was ousted by them and imprisoned for more than four years to continue to be Sultan. (Is it a bit like Li Yuanhong, the clay bodhisattva of the Beiyang period?)

After Mustafa I became Sultan for a year, his sister-in-law, Sultana (Queen) of Ahmed I, Kesem, a Greek, launched a coup, imprisoned the brain-dead Mustafa I again, and then supported her His own son, Murad IV, the nephew of Mustafa I, ascended the throne. At this time, Murad IV was only 11 years old, and the power was in the hands of Walid (Queen Dowager) Kesem.

But Kesem obviously underestimated the ability of his son Murad IV. In the year of Murad IV, the Sudanese pro-army rebelled again, killing countless ministers and weakening Kesem's strength a lot. Basically a lose-lose situation.

In the second year (1632), the 20-year-old Murad IV quickly quelled the Sudanese pro-military rebellion with the support of the pro-military and ministers he cultivated, and then re-formed a new army, and at the same time let his mother restrain himself a lot.Then he wanted to support Murad IV's younger brother Bayezad to power, but Murad IV found an excuse to kill Bayezad.After that Kesem became more honest.

Speaking of it, Murad IV is also a ruthless man. After he came to power, he swept away the decline and humiliation of the previous two sultans, quickly quelled the rebellions in Syria, Lebanon and other places, and made the leader of the rebels Fahruddin II Killed.

After that, he conquered Persia twice and occupied Hamadan, Yerevan, Tabriz and Baghdad, and directly settled the Mesopotamia. Murad IV was also the last sultan in the Ottoman Empire to personally conquer.

However, Murad IV liked to drink heavily. He died of liver cirrhosis in 1640. During his serious illness, he ordered to kill his younger brother Ibrahim I immediately, because his younger brother, like his uncle, was also a prince. Mentally retarded.In order to prevent the recurrence of his uncle's old incident, he decided to eliminate this hidden danger first, but his mother firmly opposed it, so after the death of Murad IV, his mentally handicapped younger brother was helped by his mother to the throne of Sudan. Called Ibrahim I.At this time, the Ottoman Empire officially entered the period of women's temple intervention.

In the turbulent era, the imperial power was weak, and the relatives were monopolized.It is a good time for careerists to display their ambitions.

Coprilu and his family are the leaders among these ambitious people. (~^~)
