The Ottoman Empire may be the largest slave empire in the world, but in this empire, the largest slave traders were definitely not Sudan or a certain Pasha, but Jews. It was the Jewish merchants who were responsible for selling the slaves plundered by the Crimean Khanate and the Gagalian pirates in North Africa to all parts of the Ottoman Empire. Without Jews, the Ottoman Empire could not even turn those slaves into so-called "platinum". For the past two hundred years, Jews have been monopolizing the Ottoman slave trade.

In the Ottoman Empire, the largest slave market was not in North Africa, not in Crimea, but in Istanbul! In the slave market, there were tens of thousands of Christian slaves who had plundered from Eastern and Southern Europe.

And these slaves were exactly what Zheng Sen needed.

"Leave all your slaves to me!"

Zheng Sen looked at them and said.

"All things, whether they are in the market or in your home, are delivered to me!"

Why are those slaves needed?

Because Zheng Sen needs an army!

Or he needs a bunch of cannon fodder!

Although more than 20% of the residents in Istanbul were slaves, those slaves could not immediately become his army. However, the slaves imprisoned in cages of Jews would be sent here and given weapons for a few days.

Although a few days may not necessarily make those slaves trained soldiers, they can at least create momentum.

slave!

Nehumi and others looked at each other, and of course they knew who the slave traders in the slave market were, all Jews, and many of them were their relatives.

For Israel, some unworthy slaves.

It's an extremely cost-effective business no matter what.

"No problem!"

Nehumi immediately agreed.

"Are you going to send them to the island? It may take a few days to prepare, after all, this involves a lot of problems."

“No need to be so troublesome!”

Zheng Sen waved his hand and said.

"And I don't have that long waiting here. Your slave market is in the port. I will send people tonight. You just need to hand them over to the people I sent. There is one more thing..."

Looking at the Jews in the room, Zheng Sen asked back.

"In 1453, a city in Constantinople forgot to close. I think, maybe tonight, there will be a city gate that forgot to lock. Do you think it is possible?"

Why did the city of Constantinople forget to close during the war?

For more than two hundred years, this has been a mystery, and there has been a lot of debate about it. The most practical agreement is that the Turks bribed the traitor in the city, and the traitor opened the door, but who was that traitor?

It is well known that the Genoese betrayed the Roman Empire, but who opened the city gate?

No one can tell a reason, because no one has any certain evidence, but one thing is certain that the Turkish Sultan Mohammed II gave the soldiers the right to rob for three days. After the city was broken, the Turkish army became wild beasts that frantically searched for trophy. They killed everyone they met on the streets, regardless of women, children, and young. The streets from the Petra Heights to the Golden Horn Bay suddenly became a river of blood. The women's

The turban and veil were torn off by the Turks as ropes, and the beautiful women, teenagers and nobles among the captives became the trophys for fierce competition by Turkish soldiers. Soon, the captives were dragged to the Ottoman camps, regardless of gender, like animals, and they all became Ottoman slaves. Among the 50,000 prisoners captured, more than two thousand Jews were forgiven by the Sultan and saved from becoming slaves.

Of course, this is because there are many Jews around Muhammad Wude II, because of their plea, but only God knows whether it is their plea.

However, it doesn’t matter whether God knows it or not. For Zheng Sen, all he needs is someone to help him open the city today.

This is enough.

Nehumi and others did not refuse Zheng Sen's request, and Victor even sighed in his heart that this general of the Celestial Empire really knows how to be considerate.

There is no problem with opening the city gate. The problem is that if the matter of opening the city is spread, it will be very unfavorable to the reputation of the Jews. Moreover, there are hundreds of thousands of Jews living in the Ottoman territory. If the Ottomans knew that they had opened the city and led to the fall of Istanbul, they would definitely retaliate...

etc!

Suddenly, Victor said in surprise.

"General, fight, open the city gate?"

"What are you going to do?"

What does he want to do? The answer is of course obvious. But that answer is hard to believe.

"What do you say!"

Zheng Sen smiled.

"Of course I'm going to attack the city. If you keep such a piece of fat in front of you, if you don't eat it... I'm so sorry for myself!"

"What? Siege the city? Just because of you a few people..."

Is it possible?

Of course it is impossible!

No matter who it is, with the more than 10,000 sailors led by Zheng Sen, it is impossible to occupy Istanbul. This is a city with hundreds of thousands of people. It not only has tall walls, but also...

Suddenly, Victor stopped talking.

It’s not impossible, but it’s possible that because there are too few defenders in the city, in order to prevent the Ming army from escaping from the Malamar Sea, the Turks transferred a large number of troops to the Dardanelles Strait, and they wanted to wipe out the Chinese fleet there. But they forgot one thing that the initiative on the battlefield is now in the hands of the Chinese. As long as the Chinese are willing, they can attack any city on the coast of the Malamar Sea at any time. However, who would have thought that the Chinese were so bold that they had the idea of ​​Istanbul!

But his troops are indeed not strong enough.

But he still has thousands of paddling slaves in his hands, and even more than 20,000 Christian slaves in the slave market. Even in the city, there are also a large number of slaves. As long as he is willing to form a slave army at any time, those slaves will become soldiers in his hands!

OMG!

Victor screamed in surprise.

"Slave! I know, I know why you want slaves! You, you want to use them to seize Istanbul..."

Looking at Victor screaming and the shocked Jews, Zheng Sen smiled.
Chapter completed!
