Kopp Lulu took a deep breath, his tone a little awkward: "The treaty is really too harsh. Can we negotiate further? If possible, I hope to see the person behind you. I heard that he is from the East and is the one you are the one who is really in charge of the affairs of, and maybe he will be willing to give us more generous conditions."

When the ministers of the Ministry of Rites saw that the Great Vizier of the Ottoman Empire indicated that he would meet Chu Yun, they looked at each other, and then the Minister of Rites said, "We will apply to our Lord to see if he wants to see you. Before that, we will negotiate one by one, and if there is any objection, we will discuss it additionally."

"I'm sorry, you guys," said Koplulu.

The negotiations lasted for two days, and some unimportant clauses were easily accepted by the Ottoman delegation, while some clauses that damaged territorial or financial affairs aroused the dissatisfaction of the Ottoman delegation.

"Sir, the Great Vizier of the Ottoman Empire, that is, the Prime Minister of the Empire, Kop Lulu, brought people to the shore to seek advice, hoping to reduce the amount of compensation and the amount of ceased territory. If the lord does not want to see him, we will let him go back." The Minister of Rites came to the steam iron armored ship and found Chu Yun hidden behind the scenes.

"The amount you told him was 10 million taels?" Chu Yun asked.

"Yes, and we ask them to cede Egypt, Levant, Greece and the Aegean islands." replied the Minister of Rites.

"Let him come to see me on the boat." Chu Yun looked at Constantinople, which was shrouded in the thin sea mist in the early morning. It was as old as many cities, and even retained the tall walls of the medieval era.

Chu Yun knew that the Ottoman Empire could not take it out in a short time and might not be willing to take it out.

Chu Yun set the compensation amount very high from the beginning, mainly to have room for bargaining. This time, the other party saw too much compensation for 10 million taels of silver, so he came to ask for a reduction in the compensation amount, and had to see him.

Under the escort of several followers, Kop Lulu, the prime minister of the Ottoman Empire, came to the steam iron armored ship tremblingly. He witnessed this steel monster with black smoke with his first sight, and was shocked.

He never thought that there was such a monster in the world.

No wonder Chu Yun, the "master behind the scenes", has been hiding in the steam iron armored ship and has been unwilling to come out.

Because of its huge and heavy hull, people walk on it like walking on flat ground. Fresh food and fresh water can be transported on small boats, and there is not much difference on the deck and on land. In addition, the sturdy iron ship is guarded by guards, so it is safe and worry-free.

Chu Yun met with Kop Lulu in the reception cabin below the ironclad ship.

Lighting lights were specially installed in the reception cabin, which was no different from outside.

When Kopp Lulu entered the aisle, he was still a little dim. When he stepped into the reception cabin, he subconsciously covered his eyes because of the light.

"What... what is this?" Kop Lulu narrowed his presbyopia and did not adapt to the changing light for the moment.

"Electric light." Chu Yun looked at the other party's reaction interestingly.

Almost everyone who has never seen an electric light will be frightened.

Kop Lulu recovered slightly, and he saw clearly the people in the reception cabin.

The reception cabin is like a restaurant with a long square table inside, with several people sitting, and there are guards carrying muskets behind them.

The person sitting in the middle of the square table is naturally the person behind the scenes.

"Please sit down." Chu Yun stood up and signaled slightly.

The translator who knows Turkish next to him is responsible for the translation.

The Ottoman Emperor was imprisoned by the harem and ministers, so Vizier Kopluluhe and the Empress Dowager were the highest rulers of the Ottoman Empire. This was a meeting between the highest and highest levels.

Koplulu had been in the Ottoman officialdom for decades, traveling to Egypt, Greece, Balkans, and Crimea. He thought he had experienced countless experiences and had never seen anything, so he should have been unlucky for favors and disgraces. However, when he was old, he encountered this change in the empire and came to a strange cabin. When he saw a strange outsider, he actually broke out in cold sweat behind him.

He sat opposite Chu Yun with his cane and looked at the mastermind behind the scenes, the commander-in-chief of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Half of the Eight-Nation Alliance came to join in the fun, and the real main force was the troops under this man.

"I'm honored to see you." Koplulu said to the conqueror from the sea in a relatively low tone.

"Listen to my subordinates, you don't seem to be satisfied with the compensation and the demand for cedes of territory. I wonder what you think?" Chu Yun made it straight to the point.

He didn't want to get to know the elderly Kopp-Lulu, so there was no need to say more gossip.

"Your side asked for too much compensation, 10 million taels of silver... If our empire must take it out, it will not be impossible for ten years, but the price is that we will collect heavy taxes and deduct the military salary of ordinary officers. If that happens, our Ottoman Empire will collapse and someone will try to overthrow the rule of Constantinople. If another person decides, you will not get the compensation and will make both sides turn against each other again. Please consider that if the compensation amount is not higher than 2 million taels, you should be able to take it out within ten years. Cough cough..." As Kop Lulu spoke, his throat was hoarse and he couldn't help coughing because he said too much in one breath.

"2 million taels of silver? Are you not joking? Our fleet demanded 1 million taels of silver from Algiers, which was occupied by the Barbary Pirates six or seven years ago. The Barbary Pirates are troops under the jurisdiction of Constantinople. Only a huge empire can you afford 2 million taels of silver compensation?" Chu Yun said expressionlessly.

"Although the Barbary pirates are under the jurisdiction of Constantinople, they sometimes may not be willing to obey Constantinople's orders. They make a living by looting goods and accumulate a lot of wealth. However, it takes a lot of fiscal expenditure to maintain the operation of a huge empire. You should also face such troubles? Cough, cough..." Koplulu also tried his best to put on a calm expression and talk to Chu Yun, "The area of ​​land you requested to be cede is too vast. We recognize it when Egypt was occupied by the Venetians, but the new request to be cede Greece and Levant is too greedy..."

"Mr. KopLulu, I am willing to see you because you are not young, and I am not here to listen to your complaints. If 2 million taels of silver is your lowest price, then you should know how much wealth my soldiers have brought back to me from another powerful empire, the capital of the Mughal Empire? The Mughal Empire in India is now divided into pieces, and it is my greatest tolerance for you to preserve a fairly good country." Chu Yun knocked on the table with his knuckles, which made KopLulu terrified.
