The nights in Istanbul are peaceful, and there are no passers-by on the streets, but occasionally there are Ottoman soldiers with guns patrolling back and forth along the road.

With the light of the stars and the moon, you can vaguely see some of the building wrecks in the city, which were houses destroyed by heavy artillery by the Chinese, and even the temple was bombarded.

The Chinese are simply a group of evil disbelievers!

The Ottomans couldn't help but curse the Chinese, and at the same time they secretly glad that the Chinese had gone far away.

Is it really gone?

Late at night on June 18, 1667, when the Ottomans in Istanbul entered their sleep, the fleet that had brought destruction to the city appeared again in the outer sea. Unlike in the past, this time the fleet did not fire at the city, but released hundreds of small boats. Not only the Marines, but also some rowing slaves were the ones who rowed the boats.

They just rowed the boat cushion quietly, and everyone's eyes turned to the land wall. The city wall built thousands of years ago had blocked many attacks from foreign enemies, but the strongest fortress was often conquered from the inside.

When Li Yunjie led the troops to land, they did not encounter any resistance, and then they reached the city gate unimpeded. On the way, Li Yunjie saw the mark left by the inner person.

Who is the inner person?

This doesn't matter.

What’s important is that, just like in 1453, the false city gate was like nothingness. The moment I pushed open the gate, the whole of Istanbul opened its doors to them.

"Send a signal to the sea!"

When Zheng Sen just murmured softly when he received the signal from land.

"The Jews... are indeed a group of guys who like to betray others."

Although this is the rule of survival of the Jews, in Zheng Sen's opinion, this is probably why no one is willing to believe in the Jews, because there is nothing they cannot betray in this world.

"If that's the case, why give them the Port of Jeddah and let them establish their country there?"

Li Qingwu asked in confusion.

"This is the prince's arrangement!"

Why did the prince hand over Jeddah to the Jews?

This is not what Zheng Sen needs to consider. All he needs is... to seize the city in front of him.

In history, no one has seized the capital by surprise attacks. Even if Emperor Qiansheng seized Shenyang, it is not a surprise attack, but a strong attack.

In fact, even Zheng Sen never thought of taking down Constantinople.

"Order the troops to act!"

When the troops started to operate, Tomaso Molosini looked at Zheng Sen, his eyes were full of doubts, one because he knew that Zheng Sen’s goal was not to seize the city, and the other because he did not believe that Zheng Sen could achieve his goal.

"Sir, can we really take Constantinople?"

"have no idea!"

Zheng Sen said directly:

"For me, Constantinople is not the most important thing, at least not now. What is important is the Ming fleet. I want to take the fleet out safely!"

This is Zheng Sen's goal. Seizing the city is just a means.

"No matter whether we can seize the city tonight, as long as we attack the city, the Turks will inevitably mobilize their troops to protect the capital. This will inevitably lead to a significant reduction in the defenders on both sides of the Dardanelles. Our opportunity will come when the time comes."

"Does those slaves attack the fort?"

Tomaso Molosini said half-believingly:

"Those slaves have not conducted much training, so how could they seize the fort?"

Zheng Sen shook his head and said:

"Slaves can't seize the fort, but if we mobilize the Turks fully, there is no chance. Constantinople is the must-rescue place for the Turks. Compared to destroying the fleet, regaining Constantinople is the most important thing. After tonight, the entire Ottoman Empire will know that we have seized their capital, so they will definitely want to regain Constantinople at all costs. This is our opportunity."

"Attack Constantinople?"

Tomasomolosini asked,

"Then how do we take this city? What if we fail, then what should we do then?"

Facing Tomaso Molosini's rhetoric, Zheng Sen smiled:

"So, we need to set fire!"

Tomasomolosini suddenly fell silent. The Chinese entered the city not to seize the city, but to set fire to the city, but to burn the entire Constantinople and create chaos in the city.

What they need is not to compete with the Turks for the belonging of the city in the corner of the city. What they need is to control a certain area of ​​the city, then ignite the city, and create a false image in the chaos. A Chinese will seize the false image of the city.

Surround Wei and save Zhao!

This is the Chinese plan!

After thinking carefully for a long time, Tomaso Molosini asked:

"So how can Türkiye believe that you have a large army?"

"How can they not believe it?"

Zheng Sen casually said:

"The Navy's 15,000, and the Army's 50,000! I have nearly 70,000 troops."

"Seventy thousand army? There is one"

Upon hearing this, Tomasomolosini said in shock.

"Seventy thousand, that's the least!"

Zheng Sen said seriously:

"There are 20,000 or 30,000 slaves in the slave market. Those people are our soldiers, the slaves in Constantinople, and our soldiers. We only need to give them freedom and weapons. They are the soldiers in my hands, as well as the Armenians and Serbs in the city. Those Christians have long had enough of the Turks. Do you think they will take the opportunity to resist? Then, I will even have a hundred thousand troops!"

Tomasomolosini's head was a little dizzy and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

He didn't believe what Zheng Sen said, but he had to believe it. He believed that what Zheng Sen said was the truth. Those slaves would definitely support the Chinese. The same was true for the Armenians. Once the city fell into chaos and the Turks were unable to repel the Ming army, anything could happen in the chaos.

What do Chinese people need?

Just arm those people, perhaps those temporary troops may not be able to defeat the Turks, but in the chaos, at least the Turks will believe that the Chinese really have tens of thousands of troops. But he also felt that if the fleet had the help, perhaps those slaves could really help the Ming Dynasty win the battle.
