"This is not peace, it is the seeds of hatred and war in the future."

The Prime Minister of the Ottoman Empire brought a few followers to the self-defense Qing ironclad ships and returned to the shore in a small boat. He looked at the steel castle floating on the sea and muttered to himself hatred.

The conqueror from the sea defeated the Ottoman Empire, regaining his fighting spirit, an old guy who was about to be buried.

Chu Yun didn't know that he had offended the senior bureaucrats of the Ottoman Empire. After he had agreed with the other party, he had lunch with Ella in the captain's room.

"Sir, did you finally agree to cut the compensation of 10 million taels of silver that you asked them for?" Ella asked curiously.

"Let them compensate 10 million taels of silver, but we lions scared them. The Great Vizier was an experienced official. He knew that a huge empire had huge expenses. Even if there were more than 10 million taels of silver every year, it was often too difficult to pay for 10 million taels of silver. I don't know how difficult it would be to get 10 million taels of silver. Exhausting heavy taxes can raise compensation in a short time, but this will lead to the complete collapse of the Ottoman Empire. When the new regime replaces it, it may not be willing to recognize the Ottoman Empire's war debt to us." Chu Yun said.

"So what is the final compensation amount?" Ella asked.

"5 million taels will be paid off in ten years. We can get 2.5 million taels of silver or equivalent goods each year. We can get 2.5 million taels, 1 million taels in England, and a total of 1.5 million taels in the other six countries. There is also a clause to cede land, so that they only need to cede the lower Egypt, Greece, and the Aegean islands. As for the Ottoman Empire, we can still retain the rule of Egypt and Livant." Chu Yun said.

"Are we giving in a little too much?"

"Not many fools, there is no such thing as this. Why do I want to split the Greek and Aegean islands from the Ottoman Empire? These places can effectively curb the infiltration of the Ottoman Empire into the Mediterranean, and also help us move in the Eastern Mediterranean." Chu Yun said.

"Will that half of Egypt, that is, Lower Egypt, be ruled by the Venetians?"

"We have let the Ottoman Empire recognize the rule of the Venetian Republic over Lower Egypt. At the cost, the Congress of the Venetian Republic is willing to give us the right to excavate and ownership of the Suez Canal. We do not have the energy to rule in Egypt, and just let the Venetian merchants come. We will knock on them if we want anything at that time." Chu Yun said.

"Well... how should Greece and the Aegean islands be allocated? They should also be handed over to the Venetians?"

"Well... are you too worried about these matters? So since Ling'er was born, there have been no other children? Logically, we have been together for the longest time. Now Ling'er is so old, we don't have a second child." Chu Yun suddenly changed the topic, shocking Ella, who was sitting opposite him holding red wine.

"Didn't Sophia have Prince Henry? There is also sister Xiao Xiu'er, I don't know if she gave birth to a son or a daughter." Ella said nervously.

"That's different." Chu Yun said.

After receiving Chu Yun's promise to reduce the amount of compensation and reduce part of the land that needs to be cede, the Great Vizier Koplulu of the Ottoman Empire renegotiated with the coalition delegation.

The negotiations lasted for seven days before they finally came to a final conclusion.

Next is the signing of a treaty between the parties, and representatives of each party sign and seal it.

The ambassadors of eight forces wrote the letters on this "Treaty of Constantinople". In front of them, the signature of the Minister of Personnel, followed by the ambassadors of England, Venice, the Pope, Genoa, the Knights of the Hospital, Portugal, and Sicily, and the opposite is the name of the Ottoman Empire's Great Vizier Koplulu.

In the Treaty of Constantinople, the Ottoman Empire recognized the fact that it was defeated and promised to deliver 5 million taels of silver to the coalition forces in the next ten years and 500,000 taels of silver each year.

In addition, the Venetian Republic's rule over the Lower Egypt region in the lower Nile River was recognized, and the Greek and Aegean islands were ceded to the coalition forces, which were freely distributed within the coalition forces.

As for other terms related to consular judgment, trade, embassy and other terms, they seemed insignificant to the other party, and they did not bargain much.

All the land was cedeed and compensation was paid, and the other terms were only attached to them. There were no so-called terms.

The Ottoman Empire was not so xenophobic, and it also traded and sent ambassadors to Europe, so it seemed common for them to trade and establish embassies.

"The first batch of 500,000 taels of silver will be collected and transported to your barracks within half a month. I hope you can withdraw your troops as soon as possible after you get this batch of compensation so that we can restore our rule over the empire's territory." Kop Lulu signed the treaty with a disgrace, his tone was a little weak, as if he was not confident enough.

"If the 500,000 taels of silver I received are not short of weight, we will withdraw our troops as agreed and go to accept Greece and the Aegean islands. We also hope that you can notify the officials in these places as soon as possible and let them do the handover work." The Minister of Rites asked the Minister to hold the treaty belonging to China.

The Treaty of Constantinople is in nine copies for preservation by all parties.

"Greece..." Koplulu said again.

Greece has a large number of scattered islands. Without Greece, the Ottoman Empire was like being strangled, and the enemy's fleet could arrive at Constantinople from the Strait of Dardanelles at any time.

Although it was extremely reluctant to cede Greece, in order to withdraw the coalition forces, the Ottoman Empire still signed this shameful treaty with its nose.

The next day, a dozen messengers left Constantinople on horseback and announced to officials of Greece and the main Aegean islands that the land would be ceded from the territory of the empire and to recall officials from these places.

The Ottoman Empire learned that the emperor was deposed in the harem, and Vizier Koplulu and the coalition signed the "Constantinople" that was humiliated and humiliated. The whole country was in an uproar. There were considerable rebellions everywhere, and some local military commanders even sent cavalry to suppress them.

Greek and Aegean officials received the order from Constantinople and quickly packed up their fine lines to escape from Greece and Aegean Sea that were about to be occupied by the coalition forces.

The Governor of Rhodes in the Aegean Sea, Huoshanzand, still retains the last fleet of the Ottoman Empire, the Rhodes Fleet. He escaped the Nelson fleet's search, but now he has received an order from Constantinople to lead the fleet out of the Aegean Sea and return to Constantinople.
