Emperor Chongzhen decided to run away to the Ming Dynasty, and by the way, he translated the two strange books "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" into Arabic characters, and then printed them in large quantities so that everyone could afford it.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is good. It is a complete military book for governing the country and fighting wars. The effect has been tested by two generations of Jiannu Lao Wild Boar Skin and Xiaohan Huangtaiji. The effect is excellent and is a reliable product.

It is conceivable that when the Ottomans and Mandol, who are in conflict with the countries themselves, will they really come up with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and even the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in advance after obtaining these two books, it is really hard to say.

Of course, no matter how chaotic these places are, there is no problem. Anyway, it has nothing to do with Emperor Chongzhen. It’s enough if the Ming Dynasty is not chaotic. Who has time to control the chaos abroad?

And "Water Margin" is even more important.

First of all, "Water Margin" is not the "Loyalty and Righteous Water Margin" circulated in the Ming Dynasty, but a product that was castrated.

Secondly, the castrated Arab version of "Water Margin" is not allowed to be circulated back to the Ming Dynasty.

Because Emperor Chongzhen planned to change the "Water Margin" to cut off all the items of recruitment, conquering Liao, suppressing Fang La, etc., and also modify the content of anti-corruption officials and not anti-emperors.

Anyway, there was a censor Chen Mo in the imperial prison, and Duan Xiaorong, who was good at writing Liu Bei's articles, so there must be no problem asking these two guys to join forces to modify "Water Margin".

After all, these two guys can even create the myth of the prehistoric world, what is the magical transformation of a mere Water Margin?

Without the content of being recruited, conquering Liao, and suppressing Fang La, which made foreigners unable to understand and know what was going on, the taste of the entire book "Water Margin" immediately changed.

What should I do if I can’t survive without food? Go up the mountain and fall into the grass!

What's wrong with being bullied by the government? Kill the officials and rebel!

Even if the Mughals and the Ottoman combined have a population of only 10 million, only one out of 10,000 people can choose one out of 10,000 people who study "Water Margin" seriously and put it into action, that is a total of 1,000 people.

There are only 108 brave people in Liangshanpo. A group of about 1,000 people is equivalent to ten Liangshans. How big is the territory of the Mughals and Ottomans? Can they hold ten Liangshan Villages to cause trouble?

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen didn't care much about those who could not fit the body.

Anyway, it’s all about the barbarians’ own business. If you want to rebel, just rebel. I still have business in Java, specializing in selling high-quality knives, swords, bows and arrows, which are guaranteed to be no worse than the equipment of officers and soldiers.

Emperor Chongzhen was not confident about what kind of chemical reaction would a film called Three Kingdoms plus Water Margin produce, but he once again called Zheng Zhilong, Nan Juyi and others over.

The reason is very simple. Emperor Chongzhen was not worried about whether Mughal performed the Three Kingdoms or Water Margin. However, Mughal ceded such a large area of ​​land. If the people on these lands learned, would the Ming Dynasty be disgusted in the end?

Just pack these people and send them away in two ways, half of them were used as laborers for the guys from the Ming Dynasty’s Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Transportation, and some were waiting to see what the Ottomans were doing.

If the Ottomans agreed to the proposal to rent the Suez Canal, the remaining half of the Mughals could be sent to clear the river.

If the Ottomans disagreed, these people would be sent back to the Ming Dynasty to build the railway.

In fact, the entire Ottoman court was already quarreling.

Ibrahim naturally had no feelings for him. He was addicted to the harem and ignored the government affairs all day long. Just like Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, he did not attend court for thirty years because he was angry with his ministers.

As for the government affairs, Ibrahim was not very concerned. Anyway, there were people in the harem to help him share his worries, and there was also Vizier in the court who was in charge of the government affairs, so no problem could occur.

As for Vizier Mahamaiti, he was also very troubled by the questions raised by Suleiman.

Suleiman had long wanted to make trouble and had long wanted to dig the Suez Canal. From the heart, Mehmati supported it.

However, there is no bird who only supports himself. This kind of project that violates the teachings of the True God and involves the need to recruit a large number of civilians to participate. It costs unknown how much it takes. No one from the Ottomans supports it at all.

Especially the Ottoman naval assumption that the ships that can be called the navy did not have this need at all!

In this case, restarting the Suez Canal becomes an impossible thing.

But no matter how hard Mahamaiti thought about it, he didn't expect that there would be Ming people coming to rent this place and re-digging the Suez Canal.

Moreover, Suleiman also brought two three-masted warships from the Ming people.

Two three-masted warships may not be anything to the Ming people, but they are very important to the Ottoman navy. With these two warships alone, the entire Ottoman navy can be completely destroyed!

Now that there are warships, there are so many benefits after the Suez Canal is restarted, Mahamati naturally wants to raise his hands to agree.

However, his identity restricts himself from doing so, which is also a headache for Mehamati.

If the official position of Vizier was placed in the Ming Dynasty, it would basically be equivalent to a combination of the cabinet chief and the Grand Governor of the Five Army Governors' Office, and would take over the entire Ottoman civil and military power.

In other words, if the Ottoman Sultan was a strong person, such as the previous Sultan Murad IV, Great Vizier would naturally be a decoration, and at best it would be a sound tube.

But when Ibrahim I, the situation changed.

This Sultan, who had just succeeded to the throne, had no interest in paying attention to the government affairs. Instead, he prefers to stay in the harem, either to read songs, dances, or to find concubines to have fun. Anyway, he doesn't like to pay attention to the government affairs.

The advantage of this is that the power of the entire foreign dynasty, whether it is civil servants or military power, is all in the hands of Mahamaiti.

The disadvantage is that the monarch and ministers are not united, and the people in the harem are always trying to make trouble for Mehamaiti.

Just like the topic discussed now.

Originally, contracting the land on the other side of the Suez Canal to the Ming Dynasty and allowing the Ming Dynasty to dig the Suez Canal again was a good thing for the entire Ottoman, but those in the harem expressed their opposition.

The reason is very simple. These trash people in the harem who violated the admonition of the True God simply opposed it for the sake of opposition and didn't want any face.

After looking at the civil and military officials in the hall who expressed their agreement, Mahamaiti sneered and said, "I don't believe you can't see the benefits here.

I believe you can't see what the Ottoman Empire is like now, but you are opposed to it for the sake of opposition. Are you not afraid that the true God will punish you?"

The eunuch whom Ibrahim I most favored said with a sharp voice: "The True God once said that he once intersected and met. There was a dike between the two seas, and the two seas did not invade each other.

Now that you want to contract Suez to the Ming people, wouldn’t you want to violate the admonition of the True God and to destroy the dikes separated by the two seas?”

Mahamati was even more angry.

These damn eunuchs simply opposed the Suez Canal being dug up for the sake of opposition. The True God didn’t know where it was. Now, let’s talk about the truth God’s admonition?

Are you shameless?

After a cold snorted, Mahamaiti simply announced the cessation of the meeting and stopped discussing the matter.

Seeing that the meeting was over, the eunuch who spoke up to Mehmaiti turned around and returned to the harem to report to Ibrahim I on the present situation: "The Great Vizier Maihamaiti wanted to agree to the Ming people's tiyi and contract the Suez Canal to them, but I have stopped him.

But the situation in the future is hard to say. After all, the power is in the hands of Mahamaiti, so he can't just forget it."

Ibrahim I gently threw out the fish food in his hand, looked at the fish floating out of the pond for food, and smiled and said, "Of course he won't be willing to do it, and you can't stop this matter no matter how much you stop it."

The eunuch glanced at Ibrahim quietly, but did not speak.

Since you know you can't stop it, why do you have to stop it?

Just as Mehmaiti said, no matter what the advantages are, the benefits will always be from the Ottoman Empire, and Ibrahim is the sultan of the Ottoman Empire, and all the benefits are related to him.

However, the Sultan wanted to let himself stop this matter? What exactly did he want to do?

Ibrahim looked at the water in a daze and said with a smile: "People, I never cherish what I get easily. I want to believe that those Ming people will do this too.

I believe you have heard of the situation in Suez. It is too difficult to restart the Suez Canal, which may not be able to bear to the Ottoman Empire.

If those Ming people run away because they can't afford to support them in the future, who will bear the responsibility? At that time, there will be no hope for the opening of the Suez Canal.

It is precisely because of this that I let you stop Vizier and let the Ming people know how difficult it is for them to contract the Suez Canal.

Only in this way can they really not bear it anymore, and their unwillingness will drive them to continue, let them complete the canal so that they can recover the cost they had invested in the canal and make profits."

After explaining these few sentences, Ibrahim lost interest in explaining again.

Smart people can naturally understand, but no matter how smart people are explained, they still cannot understand. They cannot waste their time on a eunuch.

After thinking about it, Ibrahim I simply ordered: "Go and invite Great Vizier to me. I will discuss this matter with Great Vizier."

It's really tiring to be this Sudan.

I am not smart enough. I am too smart. Murad IV will definitely not be able to tolerate himself. I guess he had killed himself long ago.

It’s not okay to be too stupid, just because I acted like a fool before, and I almost got killed.

Life is so difficult...

After Mehmait said to Ibrahim I's salute, Ibrahim I said: "Great Vizier will continue to propose to contract Suez to the Ming people tomorrow, and then he will refuse again on behalf of the Sultan."

After saying that, Ibrahim I also pointed to the eunuch next to him.

Mahamaiti said questioningly, "Why?"

Instead of explaining why, Ibrahim I continued: “Not only will I refuse, but I will also rebuke you tomorrow and accus you of violating the will of the True God.

Remember to let people spread these news, preferably to the ears of those Ming people.”

Mahamaiti suddenly realized and showed a knowing smile. After Mahamaiti stroked his chest and saluted: "As you wish, the sacred and noble Sultan."

Ibrahim I laughed too.

This is the advantage of talking to smart people. You can easily understand it at a glance and don’t waste too much saliva.

Just a few short sentences not only showed his attitude, but also made Mehmati hinted that he would be loyal to him. It was indeed a good thing to kill multiple goals in one fell swoop.

After thinking about it, Ibrahim I continued: "By the way, prepare some smart and studious young nobles and let them study in the distant and mysterious East."

Mahamati first bowed and continued, "We also have our own school and have cultivated a lot of talents. Why should we send overseas students now?"

Ibrahim I shook his head and said, "What kind of knowledge does our school teach? There are new and old, but they are all ours.

When they go to Ming Kingdom, they will be exposed to different knowledge, and then they can bring these knowledge back and become our own knowledge."

After a pause, Ibrahim I continued: "Now the Ming people's hands have reached here, but we know nothing about the mysterious East, which is very bad.

We and the Ming people are both world-class powers, so we should communicate with each other, rather than through the Dutch and Spanish robbers as a transit because there will be a lot of profits taken away by them, leaving us with only a small part.

When we have contact with the Ming people, we can bypass them, and we can even trade directly with the barbarians in Europe and earn their silver coins."

Before Mahamaiti could speak, Ibrahim I suddenly spoke: "Also, tell those international students that they should remember the teachings of the True God and respect the customs and habits of the Ming Dynasty, and not always look arrogant.

By their ability to sail here, we can know that the Ming people are not weaker than the Europeans, nor are they much weaker than us."

Mahamati bowed again and then turned to leave the palace.

Sudan was right, a large number of benefits were taken away by those Europeans, which should have been the part of the Ottoman Empire deserved.

It just so happened that this canal matter was to get back this part of the profit that should belong to the Ottoman Empire.

Looking at the figure of Mehmaiti, Ibrahim sighed again: "Essence, even if it is far away in China, should be sought."
