Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1085
“Selit, this joke is not funny at all.”
Saliman showed a serious look, and he felt that Celite was joking with him.
“Great Sultan, this is no joke. These years, the Golden Horde’s harassment on the border of the empire has gradually disappeared. We thought it was strange at first, but now it seems that this is probably the reason.” Sailit said cautiously.
In the Ottoman Empire, Sultan Saliman is equivalent to the existence of a king. He is the ruler and religious leader of the Ottoman Empire. His authority is unique in the Ottoman Empire.
Under the Sultan, the Ottoman Empire also had two Savage, a privy minister, he was one of the Savage, and he was also the person that Sariman trusted most.
Saliman frowned when he heard this. He was not familiar with the Great Yu Kingdom, but he still remembers the Golden Horde. It was this powerful enemy who continued to erode the borders of the Ottoman Empire more than ten years ago. The number of times the Khanate appeared in his ears became less and less.
If Celit is right, then they finally found the reason for the decline of the Golden Horde.
“It seems that the great Yu country is good for us. Now we don’t have to worry about the northeast border anymore, don’t we?” Saliman said happily, “Moreover, we can still seize their land.”
Like all ambitious rulers, Saliman is also eager to expand the territory of the Ottoman Empire.
Celite showed an awkward look. He said: “But the French messenger said that the former Great Yu Kingdom has changed its dynasty. His current name is called the Chinese Empire, and the land left behind after the demise of the Golden Horde has been destroyed by them. Occupy, in fact, the Ottoman Empire now borders the Chinese Empire.”
Saliman’s excitement gradually disappeared. In the end, he was empty and happy. Out of the sensitivity of a ruler, he was fully wary of any powerful neighboring country.
One Tsarist Russia was enough to give him a headache, and now there was obviously another enemy who seemed more powerful.
“In that case, let’s meet the envoys of France. Maybe they can provide good advice. And as you said, Europe is now at war with this or other Chinese empire. Maybe we can benefit from it. After all, the Ottomans are powerful. The foundation is to serve as a commercial channel between East and West.”
“Okay, then I’ll let them in now.” Sailit turned and walked out, and after a while, two people in black tuxedos came in behind him.
“Sultan Saliman, it’s an honor to meet you.” Henry saluted Saliman respectfully.
Not long after returning to France from Qingzhou, he received a new mission to Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire.
And the absurd reason he was sent here was that he had been to the Chinese Empire and was able to clearly describe this Eastern Empire to the Ottoman Empire.
However, in Henry’s view, this was of no use to this diplomatic operation. What the Ottoman Empire needed was practical benefits.
“You are the messenger from France?” Saliman’s voice had a hint of intimidation. In fact, he is more wary of Europe than the Eastern Empire, because Istanbul is called the throat of Europe and Central Asia.
In the most glorious period of the Ottoman Empire, the territory of the Ottoman Empire once crossed Istanbul, even including Greece and Venice, but now they have lost all European territories because of the loss of the European War.
“Exactly, my name is Henry.”
Saliman asked directly: “Selit said you are willing to return the Peloponnese to us?”
“Under our reconciliation, this is possible, but it requires Sudan and us to jointly deal with the crisis from the East.” Henry replied, sometimes diplomatic negotiations are so simple and straightforward, and he doesn’t like to be long-winded.
Saliman showed a sharp look. For three hundred years, the Peloponnese Peninsula, where Greece is located, has been under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, but ten years ago, with the support of European countries, Greece set off a war of independence. With the support of the European powers, the Greeks obtained a large number of advanced firearms. Despite the suppression of the independence war, the Ottoman Empire, which was backward in firearms, eventually lost the war, allowing Greece to get rid of their rule.
However, he believes that as long as the European countries no longer intervene in the Greek War of Independence, he will retake Greece. In this way, he can regain the prestige he lost because of the war.
“A crisis from the East?” Saliman’s eyes rolled, and he felt that an era of both sides is coming.
With a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, Saliman said: “Are you talking about the Chinese Empire in the East? It is said that this newly rising Eastern Empire is very powerful~~We don’t want to cause trouble by ourselves.”
Henry sneered in his heart. He knew this would happen, so he said: “If Sultan can work with us to cope with the expansion of the Eastern Empire, in addition to supporting your country to regain the Peloponnesian Peninsula, we will also give Tsarist Russia Pressure, let them give up their ambitions for Crimea, the combined scale of these two pieces of land is not small.”
This time Saliman was tempted. Compared to the Peloponnese Peninsula in southern Greece, he cares more about the Black Sea estuary in Crimea, and Tsarist Russias ambitions for Crimea are also based on the Black Sea estuary.
“We will not do stupid things just because of your few words. You will not get any response until you haven’t returned to the Ottoman Empire in the Peloponnesian Peninsula and Tsarist Russia has not withdrawn from Crimea.” Surrey Man said slyly.
Before coming, Henry had obtained sufficient authorization. He said: “Sultan of Saliman, we are full of sincerity. If you agree, please send envoys to Greece, Britain, Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal, Tsarist Russia, and France. Come, here we will sign a specific treaty, and you will get the results you want.”
Saliman raised his brows and said, “This is the perfect plan. I will send my son to Greece to participate in the signing of the treaty. If I get what I want, I will definitely get what you want. .”
“I hope that the signing of the treaty will go smoothly.” Henry saluted again and left the palace with Saliman’s permission.
Henry’s figure disappeared, and Saliman said to Celit at this time: “Go immediately to collect all information about the Chinese Empire. The Europeans are willing to use such a large price in exchange for our support. It must be a serious crisis. We cant act recklessly until we figure it out.”
Sailit answered, turned and left.
