Vol 2 Chapter 1762: : Poor like a bamboo

Half a month later ... while the Ottoman border city was still in peace.
Immediately ... they realized that countless soldiers began to cross the bridge and attacked the post, and then ... began to attack.
The border of more than 100 kilometers is full of flames, the roar of artillery, and the smoke of gunpowder.
Once the giant artillery arrived under the city, after roaring, the defenders had lost their helmets and abandoned their armor, and escaped.
……
Istanbul.
This huge country that spans two continents, the center of the whole world island.
At this time ... I just received the war book about Daming.
The Ottoman army has just experienced the war with Spain. In North Africa, the war still continues, and at this time, the Ottoman navy has also been destroyed.
Although each other is still exhausted, the offensive has begun to stop.
But Suleyman at this time ... After learning that Daming had fallen into the rock, he suddenly became furious.
He immediately summoned the group of ministers and rose to the seat in the newly built Jin Luan Hall in the palace.
The hundred officials stood, and Suleiman in the high position only looked at the ministers in silence, not speaking.
He is an ambitious person, even if he encounters such a big event, he still behaves calmly.
Now that Confucianism has been popularized for a long time, the civil and military officials have some appearances. Everyone bows down and calls for three long lived, Suleyman nodded.
Immediately ...
The temple was quiet.
It was at this time that Li Zheng, the courtier of Libe, stood up.
Li Zheng was initially hit in Daming. After returning to China, he finally regained the trust of Sulaiman.
In fact, Sulaiman knew very well ... Li Zheng's ability may be mediocre, and he likes to talk empty words, but ... such a person ... is exactly what he needs.
Sometimes ... people always need to keep some waste around.
Nothing else ...
Because there is no shortage of capable people in this world.
The capable person is often arrogant and arrogant, no one in the eyes, even if it is to the emperor, there is also a lot of disobedience.
Therefore ... there is waste such as Li Zheng, and beat them every three times, so that he can sit back and relax.
Therefore, after the failure of Daming's strategy, Li Zheng not only was not punished, but also regained his trust.
At this time, Li Zheng walked into the hall, and then ... bowed down, knelt three times, knocked on the ground, prostrate to the ground, but did not get up.
The Ming Dynasty of this era is not like a dynasty in the later generations, and it often bows down.
Kneeling is particular.
For example ... In ordinary times, when you meet the emperor, you can just salute.
If it is an important occasion, you need to bow down and salute yourself.
Of course ... This prayer is not about kneeling all the time.
The so-called rituals are actually about to stop.
Therefore, in many court paintings, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty traveled, and very few ministers had always prayed on their knees, but most of them just stood by.
However, after Li Zheng, these Confucian scholars arrived in Ottoman, they thought it was outdated.
The Ottoman emperor, such a holy light, can be compared with the ancient most holy prince.
Since this is the case, it is only when the five bodies are cast into the ground that the courtiers appear to be obedient.
After Li Zheng saluted, he did not get up, continued to bow down, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, Chen Wen Daming declared war on me Ottoman, the emperor Daming is so violent, it is ridiculous, such as jumping the beam clown, the thief army is approaching, the minister begged your majesty to give He is a partial teacher, and the custodian teaches the thieves whether or not to return. "
Sulaiman is very satisfied with Li Zheng's attitude.
Not only is he obedient, but ... he can say such beautiful things in this critical time.
Actually Suleiman didn't know that there was flattery in this remark.
But Suleiman also needed to use Li Zheng's mouth to appease people.
Suleyman said: "How long will it take for them to declare war and mobilize their troops?"
Li Zheng and others said one after another: "Your Majesty, there will be no success in one and a half years."
"How about crossing the desert and Gobi between the two countries?"
"Your Majesty, this ... is hard to tell."
The Hanlins have said one thing to me: "This is a natural turmoil. It is extremely difficult. I am afraid that without a year or two, I may not be able to mobilize a large army and go to the city."
Sulaiman smiled, he was a man good at using troops.
Naturally ... He also took it seriously.
Marching and mobilizing the army, where is this easy.
Ottoman needs more than half a year to assemble the army. This involves the transportation of countless grains and the gathering of various forces. This is by no means possible.
Besides, the other party is an expedition for laborers. To some extent, Ottoman takes a huge advantage.
Time is too late.
The Hanlins saw that Li Zheng had asked for a fight, and they were excited at the moment. They did not want to fall behind and said: "Your Majesty, please invite you to the border town to fight against the thieves."
"The thieves are so happy that the so-called war is bound to die, this is also the ancient lesson. Today they came, I will wait to occupy the land and teach them to die without a burial place."
Suleiman's complexion was slightly better.
Then he turned his head and looked at the other local old ministers who seemed to want to say something and show some loyalty, but the Confucian ministers clamored, all excited, all cited the scriptures, talked eloquently, they did not know It's time to say something.
Sulaiman said with a smile: "I have always been in harmony with Daming, who ever thought that ... Daming was actually a wolf child's ambition, and it was tolerable to provoke a side provocation ..."
Half of what he said, it was at this time ...
A came out in a hurry and said in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty ... Urgent report, Urgent report, Baku for help."
This time ... everyone was stunned.
Suleyman nowadays, the most disgusting thing is that he is interrupted when he speaks. In the past, he often encountered such situations with those Caxias. But since the Confucian officials entered the dynasty, he began to enjoy everyone talking in his own The feeling of listening.
But now ...
His face stretched out suddenly.
Because he can't care about anything at this time.
Baku ...
Baku is the town of Ottoman side!
This place is near the Caspian Sea, between Daming and Ottoman, bypassing the desert and a blank area of ​​grassland.
There are many nomadic tribes here.
Once crossing this zone, it is the main town of Ottoman Baku.
But this ... how is it possible?
When the war book started from Daming, it had only been four months!
In four months ...
"Is the small army of Ming army attacking?"
"No." The said with tears in his face, "Bakukasha is playing newspapers, there are Ming troops everywhere, covering the sky and the sun. Not only Baku, the nearby city fortress, was attacked within days. It ’s precarious, and it ’s very likely that it ’s now lost.

Suleyman's face was suddenly miserable!
He could not understand, why did the army gather so quickly?
How did their support come from?
This is thousands of miles.
Suleyman shuddered, and immediately his eyes fell on the ministers.
Li Zheng is ignorant.
At this time, he decided not to mention anything about taking the partial division to resist the Ming army.
It took a long time to say: "Ming Army ... Ming Army ... Ming Army is attacking for thousands of miles ... this ... this ... their supplies must be difficult. Your Majesty, only need to stand firm and clear the field, and avoid war with it, you can teach them ... Teach them ...... Come on with interest, and return with defeat. "
The Hanlins are silent, you look at me, I look at you.
Suleiman's complexion was blue: "Passing purpose, convening a large army ..."
…………
In fact, when the request for help from Baku was evacuated to Istanbul ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The Ming army not only broke Baku, but also penetrated hundreds of miles into the enemy's border.
The city is broken.
The horses and horses entered the city, and immediately ... the local Confucian students were summoned together. These trembling Confucian students knelt beside the road, welcomed the Master, and said words of compliments and obedience.
Fortunately ... The army entered the city and did not start killing.
Instead, he posted the list immediately and carried out the peace.
Immediately ... The treasury began to be sealed and all order was re-established.
Although the Confucian students could not resist the Ming army, they could settle the people for the Ming army, but they played a huge role.
They immediately began to proclaim the policies of the Ming army everywhere in the city, saying that as long as they did not resist, they would never infringe.
If there are thieves in the city who dare to destroy the order, they will never kill him.
The household register of Baku has already begun to be rationalized, and soon restored order.
The nobles and wealthy households in the city were all invited to let them not have to worry.
The soldiers of the new army, the guards were inside and outside the city, and the military discipline was so good that they could hardly see any messy weather.
So ... The people in the city of Baku were relieved.
