The more Mustafa Pasha thought about it, the more he felt that Suleiman's plan was reliable.

At the very least, the method proposed by Suleiman is the only possible way to solve the current dead situation - to put all the problems on the guards, and then use the opportunity of sending back the merchants of the Ming Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty.

The emperor expressed apology and loyalty in exchange for Ottoman's peace.

In this process, it is true that the Imperial Guards are good at firing artillery, and it is also true that the merchants were returned to the Ming Dynasty. Only apology and loyalty are adulterated, but the first two are really used as cover-ups, and the latter one is not true.

Nature no longer matters.

The only problem now is how to get those Ming businessmen to cooperate, or at least persuade them before they cause chaos.

After frowning and thinking for a while, Mustafa Pasha looked at Suleiman with burning eyes: "Grand Vizier, the matter of communicating with those Ming businessmen..."

Su Laiman nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "I will personally do the communication with those Ming businessmen, including sending people to see the Ming emperor. I will also make arrangements, but you have to restrain the imperial guards.

Those remnants of... Of course, we can't be too hasty."

Mustafa Pasha and Suleiman looked at each other and nodded in unison.

Mustafa Pasha knew very well that since Suleiman had classified the remaining Janissaries as remnants, it meant that Suleiman had great confidence in being able to communicate with and convince Ming merchants.

As for saying not to be too hasty, it is naturally to leave a way out - if Suleiman cannot deal with those Ming businessmen, the so-called remnants of the Imperial Guard will naturally transform into people who dare to resist the oppression of the Ming Dynasty.

A hero, even Mahmud II, who had just cooled down, could turn into a traitor Sultan who betrayed Ottoman interests.

[By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, install the latest version. 】

The look on Suleiman's face gradually became ferocious: "If we are really desperate, we will kill all the Ottoman businessmen from other countries, including all the concessions, and let them be buried with the Ottomans!"

Mustafa Pasha looked at Suleiman solemnly: "Just now...if we really get to this point, there will be no other way back for us."

Su Laiman sneered and said: "These are two completely different things - before we get a clear reply from the Ming merchants and the Ming emperor, we must not touch a single hair of those concessions and merchants, because they are

Our only chance."

"If the merchants of the Ming Dynasty do not know what is good and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty refuses to accept our apology, it means that we, the Ottomans, will no longer have a chance to survive. Those concessions and merchants will naturally become our only hope for revenge - they are because of Ming Dynasty

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty died. If they want to hate, let them hate the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty emperor."

"The Ming Dynasty and its emperors may not care about the concessions and merchants of one or two countries, but what if it is the concessions and merchants of all countries?"

As Suleiman's murderous words fell, the entire hall fell into silence again.

We are all foxes for thousands of years, and no one is willing to let go of the only chance to survive.

The same Ottoman nobles and ministers were not willing to be defeated. Even if there was a chance to drag Ming down, they would never let it go.

After pondering secretly, Mustafa Pasha nodded and said to the Ottoman nobles and ministers present: "Then just follow the Grand Vizier's advice."

After thinking about it, Mustafa Pasha said to the governor of Istanbul City: "Send out all your men. You must maintain the stability of Istanbul and restrain the civilians in the city.

, Qiancheng, don’t let those civilians conflict with Ming businessmen, at least not now.”

But after Mustafa Pasha's words fell, the governor of Instanbul City replied with a tangled face: "Dear Mustafa Pasha, I will try my best to restrain the civilians in the city, but I dare not

Promise to be able to restrain them - in fact, when the news from Mukalla Port came, the city of Instanbul was already in chaos, and many people were trying... to escape from Instanbul."

Mustafa Pasha's face immediately darkened: "Are you a fool? No matter which country you are from, they are the only bargaining chip we can control now. If they escape, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will still have

Do you have any scruples?”

After being scolded by Mustafa Pasha, the governor of Instanbul suddenly felt like crying without tears.

Of course, the consul also knew that the merchants from various countries in the concession were the only bargaining chip of the Ottomans at the moment, but who said that it was the merchants from the concession who escaped from the city of Instanbul?

In fact, things are still as stable as a dog in the concession, singing, drinking, and doing business are not affected at all by the opening of Ming Dynasty and Osman.

Especially the merchants in the French Concession. Those bastards not only prepared champagne, but even opened the passage to the Ming Concession and invited those Ming merchants to have a drink in the French Concession.

Those who really wanted to escape from the city of Instanbul happened to be the relatives of the nobles and ministers present.

Among them are Mustafa Pasha and Suleiman's family members.

So, what more can the Archon say?

Just accept the training honestly and that will be it!

Fortunately, Suleiman stopped the angry Mustafa Pasha, and then ordered the consul: "Block all the entrances and exits, and no longer allow merchants from all over the world to leave Istanbul at will. At the same time, we must

Restrain the civilians in the city and don't let them conflict with Ming merchants."

After the governor of Istanbul agreed, Suleiman said to Mustafa Pasha: "You also go and gather the Ottoman army, as many as you can. I will talk to those Ming people first."

."

Mr. Lu Xun once said: Ideals are full, reality is skinny - when Suleiman tried to contact Ming merchants in the city of Instanbul, he got a piece of news that made him extremely painful.

Although there are not many Ming merchants in the city of Instanbul, there is no problem in gathering dozens of merchants. If their entourage and hired workers are included, the number can even reach about a thousand.

As a degenerate scholar said: When birds are big, they can be found in all kinds of woods.

If these dozens of shops were placed in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, they would only be regarded as a few dozen ants. Not to mention that any Shuntian government official could easily handle them. At least these dozens of shops would never dare to speak loudly.

The capital city is at the foot of the emperor, the most benevolent place. Throwing a brick at random can kill a large number of dignitaries, and dozens of businesses are really nothing.

The key is that these dozens of businesses were not located in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but in Istanbul.

The bigger city of Instanbul is crowded with dozens of powerful businesses, and occasionally the businesses of several businesses conflict with each other. It goes without saying what will happen.

Competition in the business world is nothing. They have done a lot of bad things such as offline movie openings. If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty's Embassy in Istanbul and the Ming Dynasty Concession that suppressed it, these dozens of businesses might have It can turn people's brains into dog brains.

Now it's good, according to the news Suleiman got, not only did people from these dozens of companies get together inexplicably, but they also got a large number of extremely sophisticated ordnance from who knows where.

What's more, these thousands of people gathered in the Ming Dynasty's concession in Instanbul. They sent all the women and children into the concession, and the young men started to carry out various weapons and weapons in a pattern. There is some kind of patrol.

Or it can be said that the merchants of the Ming Dynasty are ready to start a war with the Ottoman army at any time. If Suleiman comes to visit now, it is hard to say whether he can negotiate with those merchants of the Ming Dynasty, but his own safety will definitely be affected. Threat, because no one knows whether those Ming businessmen will suddenly go crazy and sacrifice Suleiman's head to the flag.

But if we just leave those Ming merchants alone, the final result will definitely go in the worst direction - the Ming army attacks from all sides, and the Ming merchants wreak havoc in the city of Instanbul, even if they are not careful. The story of Benghazi will happen again.

The more Suleiman thought about it, the more he felt a headache.

Now it is obviously no longer a matter of those merchants, but also involves the Ming Dynasty's concession in the Ottoman Empire. If you want to communicate with the concession, you must first communicate with the Ming Dynasty's embassy in the Ottoman Empire.

If communication fails, the original plan to kill all the concessions and merchants from various countries will most likely be shattered - merchants in the Ming Dynasty can obtain all kinds of ordnance, and other countries may not be able to obtain it. At least the French Concession will definitely be able to obtain it. Arrived.

Whether the remaining companies like England, Silly Thief Eagle, and Sand Goose can do it has no impact on the overall situation.

However, before Suleiman could figure out how to communicate with the Ming embassy, ​​the messenger sent by Mustafa Pasha hurried over: "Dear Grand Vizier, Mr. The students started to make a fuss."

Suleiman's face darkened and he asked: "What are they making a fuss about? Where is Mustafa Pasha?"

The messenger sent by Mustafa Pasha replied hesitantly: "Those students knew about the casualties of the Sultan and the Guards, and also knew about the Ming Dynasty's war against the Ottomans. They... they demanded to be driven away immediately or To kill the Ming people in the city of Instanbul and even the entire Ottoman people, Mustafa Pasha has already led his people to drive them there, maybe... or it is possible to disperse them."

After hearing the news brought by the messenger, Suleiman couldn't help but sigh.

It really corresponds to the proverb of the Ming Dynasty: when the house leaks, it will rain continuously, and when the boat is late, there will be a strong wind.

As the current Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, Mahmoud II, was sent to the bottom of the sea to feed fish, the entire Ottoman Empire had already become a mess like headless flies. Finally, they found a chance to survive in death. Now these students But it started making noise again.

This can be life-threatening - if they are forcefully dispersed, it will easily break the hearts of these students. If left unchecked, the whole of Istanbul will be in chaos.

Another dilemma.

Suleiman couldn't even remember how many times he had made dilemma choices today!

Does God really want to destroy the Ottomans?

After thinking carefully for a long time, Suleiman simply told the messenger: "Go and keep an eye on Mustafa Pasha. If those students are willing to disperse, forget it. If they still keep insisting, then forget it."

If there is a commotion, tell Mustafa Pasha to calm down those students first and wait for my notice."

After the messenger left in a hurry, Su Laiman made a sullen face and ordered the attendant: "Change the route and go directly to the embassy in the Ming Dynasty Concession."

…

Compared to the vaguely chaotic city of Istanbul, the Ming Concession seemed quite peaceful. Dozens of Ming businessmen gathered in the yard of the Ming Embassy in the Ottoman Empire. They usually would sarcastically say something or even say something to someone when they met.

The businessmen who are able to open the film now seem to be particularly united.

How can we not be united? In the business world, we have to work hard to earn a few dollars by scheming and intrigues. The money we make is just a matter of life and death. How can there be any real military merit?

If you accidentally get a first-class merit, you will not only have to write it down in the genealogy, but even into the county annals!

If he accidentally achieves his first success, such as beheading a general, capturing a flag, and conquering a city, the children will see their names in the textbooks!

Therefore, Xu Hong, the Ming Dynasty ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, had a headache. He looked at the businessmen as if they were fools: "It is not up to me to decide whether to start the film or not, let alone you."

Forget it, do you understand?”

Mr. Hu, the leader of the businessmen, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "I understand, you guys all understand, but the city of Instanbul is already in chaos, and you guys are all prepared. If this happens,

Wouldn't it be a great loss if you don't give him a try? My lord, don't you want to open a separate page in your family tree?"

Xu Hong glanced at the businessmen and said angrily: "Of course I want to! But look where this is? This is the Embassy of the Ming Dynasty in the Ottoman Empire. I now represent the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty the Emperor. I can't do anything without permission."

Call the shots and start the film? Thank you for daring to think about it!"

After lecturing all the businessmen into silence, Xu Hong snorted again: "Also, I have to remind you: no matter where the weapons in your hands come from, don't even think about it.

Now is not the time to take the initiative to cause trouble for Osman."

Mr. Hu chuckled and said: "Look what you said, we are not getting some ordnance in Ottoman because this poor place is too messy, we are just using it for self-defense."

Xu Hong snorted coldly, but he didn't believe the nonsense of these businessmen at all.

A group of businessmen who keep saying they want to have a movie with Osman, who dares to expect them to be honest grandchildren?

Just when Xu Hong was about to reprimand him a few more words, news came from the sentry at the door.

The Ottoman Grand Vizier Suleiman had already arrived outside the embassy and planned to ask for an audience with Xu Hong.
