Daming 1805

Chapter 172 Ottoman's Decision
"In that case, this subordinate will return to Cairo?"

Ali's plan basically fell through, and he felt a little regretful, but he didn't dare to show it.

Being a vassal state of Ming Dynasty is a completely different state from being a vassal state of other countries.

The local imperial court of the Ming Dynasty was extremely powerful, and it continued to expand during the reform process.

Ali and his Egypt were former enemies who had surrendered, and they were even more well-behaved.

Zhu Jingyuan noticed Ali's potential uneasiness and entanglement, smiled and comforted him verbally, and let him go to rest.

Zhu Jingyuan could only comfort him verbally, and it was impossible to give him more substantive promises.

Egypt is a foreign vassal, and it is a foreign vassal that the imperial court promised not to change, so it is impossible for Ming Dynasty to allow Egypt to continue to expand.

In history, Ali's Egypt expanded to the surrounding area, occupying the entire Sudanese region and the eastern part of the Dashi Peninsula in later generations.

In this world he could not have a similar opportunity.

On the other side, after the Ottoman Grand Vizier Zayedin went back, he thought carefully for a whole day.

Zayedin himself still believes that for the current Ottomans, the mainland is much more important than the Mexican colony.

You can use the colonization of Mexico as a driving force to balance and stabilize the complex situation in the Ottoman mainland.

But matters of colonization should never take the cake.

It is not a good idea for the current Ottomans to exchange Crete, which is close at hand, for a node leading to the colonization of Mexico.

Crete is much easier to master than Congo.

That's why Zayadin put forward relatively expensive conditions that were basically impossible for Ming to accept.

But Ottoman also wanted access to those populations.

Ottoman, who had just experienced the world war, was eager to restore the young and middle-aged labor force.

At the same time, His Majesty the Sultan and the nobles are more enthusiastic about going overseas than ever before.

After getting the "ninety percent new" fleet delivered by Ming Dynasty and the Mozhou colony allocated by Ming Dynasty, these ruling classes were a little too excited.

He is eager to grasp the colonies of Mozhou as soon as possible, and obtain tangible benefits from those colonies.

Now there is a tendency to develop the navy at any cost and at the same time acquire the node ports of ocean-going voyages.

At the same time, rulers like the Ottoman Sultan were not very sensitive to the gains and losses of territory, otherwise they would not have easily ceded land.

Zayedin could not defy this tendency, he could only control and suppress it as much as possible.

Zayedin carefully organized his thoughts and sent his views and ideas back to the Ottoman court.

The next morning, Zayedin and the Ottoman Sultan confirmed the news several times before visiting Zhu Jingyuan again:

"His Royal Highness, if Daming wants to obtain the complete sovereignty of Crete and its subsidiary islands, Osman has three conditions:
"First, all the Tianfang Sect population conquered after the Ming Dynasty should be handed over to Ottoman.

"Secondly, the Daming Navy and Army Forces assisted the Ottoman forces to acquire a piece of coastal land at the border between Morocco and Algeria.

"Thirdly, Daming helped Ottoman build a military-civilian dual-use port in the area and gave low-interest loans.

"If Daming can't accept it, then use Crete's private land ownership in exchange for Daming's naval and port construction guidance."

Zhu Jingyuan fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Osman not only wanted the population of the Barbary pirates, but also wanted all the Tianfangjiaoren who were defeated by Ming in the future.

This is actually nothing, and there is no independent force in the world that can conquer it now.

Providing loans to help Ottoman build the port can be regarded as business dealings, and they can be directly agreed.

The point is, Osman still wants to get a piece of land in the northern part of Mexico.

It's just that it is not in key areas such as Tunisia, Tripoli, and Algiers, but moved to the side of Morocco.

The purpose of this choice is to prevent the land Osman requested from falling into Daming's target land, but at the end of these lands.

It could even be cut from within Morocco, not entirely from Algeria.

The more critical issue is that there is no need for Da Ming to hand it over, let Da Ming assist Ottoman to occupy it by himself.

The problem of the Ming Dynasty's occupation and transfer is a big problem.

Today's Daming has a tradition of not letting go of its mouth no matter what.

Zhu Jingyuan considered the future situation and Crete's strategic position, and finally decided to accept the deal.

For Ming who is about to occupy most of the land in the northern part of the Black Continent, Crete in the Great Qin Sea is obviously more important than a piece of land on the Black Continent.

At the same time, Crete was relatively easy to be traded and transferred only when it was in the hands of the Ottoman sultans.

Once the Ottomans disintegrate and the area where Crete is located becomes independent on its own, it will not be so easy to be cut off.

Zhu Jingyuan nodded lightly and said:

"Okay, since Osman is trying so hard to go to the ocean, then Da Ming will help us for our friendship."

Zayedin nodded in complex mood in response:

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, please take care of me in the future."

After pondering for a while, Zhu Jingyuan reminded:

"It's a good thing that Ottoman wants to go to the sea, but for Ottoman, the homeland is obviously more important than overseas, and stability is more important than pioneering."

Hearing this reminder, Zayedin was obviously taken aback.

Because this is actually my point of view.

The Dashi Prince actually agrees with this point of view.

Zayedin subconsciously thought that if His Royal Highness Prince Dashi was the Sultan of the Ottomans, he would not have accepted such a deal.

It's a pity that Prince Dashi is the other party to the deal.

And Prince Dashi is willing to say such things to himself, obviously he really wants Osman to maintain stability.

Zayedin's mood became more complicated:
"His Highness's sincerity is admirable, and I will definitely convey His Highness's words to His Majesty the Sultan."

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and nodded again:
"The Pasha of Tripoli was already willing to surrender. It should be said that Ottoman wanted those people, so we allowed these pirates to surrender.

"The grand vizier can ask the receiving staff to tell them this logic, which should be more convenient for your management.

"For the Barbary pirates, my request is to leave the house without leaving the house, and no extra property is allowed. If you can live, you have to thank God.

"However, ordinary people in Crete are not included in this list. They can leave with their belongings."

Zayedin was taken aback again, it was obvious that Tripoli couldn't hold back Ming's attack.

But the attitude revealed by Zhu Jingyuan's words made Zayadin feel guilty.

But he couldn't say anything in rebuttal.

Those people have been pirates for nearly 300 years, and they should have done all the evil deeds that can be imagined in the world.

If Daming wants to wipe them out completely, no one else will be able to speak, and maybe they will applaud.

This can indeed facilitate Ottoman's reception.

Zayedin bowed slightly again with a complicated mood and agreed:

"Follow your will, Your Royal Highness."

Zhu Jingyuan's own staff and diaries made a simple treaty document.

In order to save trouble, it is directly written in Ming characters, and lists the conditions agreed between Zhu Jingyuan and Zayadin.

The secret agreement is in duplicate, each signed by Zhu Jingyuan and Zayedin, and each keeps one copy.

The emperor of Ming Dynasty and the Sudan directly sent the letter of approval by telegram, and the actual letter of approval was carried and exchanged by subsequent passenger ships.

This procedure took two days, and Zayedin returned to the Ottoman mainland with the text two days later.

Both Ali and Basel have also returned.

Zhu Jingyuan asked his staff to write a telegram to inform Yang Yuchun, the commander of the North Mozhou theater, about the content of his transaction with Osman.

Ask Yang Yuchun to contact Ottoman Grand Vizier and Tripoli Pasha Yousef respectively.

Facilitated the unconditional opening of Tripoli, and except for the possible Ming immigrants, all the population was handed over to the Ottomans.

Tripoli was meant to beg for mercy.

Now Da Ming was given a chance to survive, and he followed his old club, the Ottomans, and accepted it without any resistance.

November 34th, the 1805th year of Ming Taiping, the last day of 12 in the Western calendar, that is, December 31st.

The troops commanded by Yang Yuchun entered the city of Tripoli.

Below Pasha Yousef in Tripoli, all armed personnel were disarmed, and under the supervision of the Ming army, they went to the pier to build a prisoner camp.

Wait for the Ottomans to come and receive it.

Yang Yuchun's original intention was to wipe out these pirates completely, but he didn't have any objection to the order to send them away.

Sending away is actually eliminating, and it is more efficient than direct elimination.

Yang Yuchun repaired his troops in Tripoli, and at the same time issued an ultimatum to the pirates in Tunisia and Algiers.

Surrender within ten days, and transfer the population to Ottoman to transport away, otherwise it will be completely wiped out.

Of course the pirates in the two regions did not dare to directly reject Da Ming, but they all had different ideas about the conditions Da Ming offered.

They haven't been directly beaten by Da Ming yet, and they feel that the request to leave the house without leaving the house is a bit too much.

Their natural idea is to refer to the Egyptian model and transform into a foreign vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

They sent their thoughts to the northern Mozhou battlefield command that sent the ultimatum.

The relevant telegrams were quickly sent to Yang Yuchun. After the staff read out the content of the telegram, Yang Yuchun and the warlords, staff, and generals around him all laughed.

"Da Ming's foreign vassal, what these pirates think is really beautiful..."

"Don't they realize that we are issuing a real ultimatum?"

"They actually think they are qualified to negotiate terms with me?"

After Yang Yuchun laughed, he ordered:

"Don't pay attention to them. After ten days of repairing, we will officially launch an attack, until they surrender voluntarily."

A group of generals immediately agreed in unison:

"Yes!"

At the same time, Osman's efficiency was also brought to the limit, and the first fleet arrived in Tripoli the next day after Yang Yuchun accepted it.

After the identity of the personnel on both sides was confirmed, the handover of the people in Tripoli began.

They will be sent directly to Mozhou after being broken up, and Zhu Jingyuan will assign it to Ottoman's Congo Estuary Colony.

This operation required a large number of ships, and Ottoman's own ships were of course not enough, so they could only be rented from Daming.

Now not only the Ottomans need ships, but Ming and all Western countries also need ships.

Prussia, Austria, Italy and other countries need to explore and develop colonies, and need to transport materials and personnel.

Spain and Portugal need large migration populations.

Ming needs to take over a large number of colonies, and needs to transport troops and a new round of large-scale immigration.

The whole world is now in need of ships, and the selling and leasing prices of transport ships are skyrocketing.

Of course, the shipbuilding industry all over the world has become extremely hot.

Orders for many shipyards have been scheduled for several years.

Unprecedented hot prospects have led to the opening of new shipyards one after another, and they will make money when they open.

Before the peace talks, the large ship industry was opened up, so new ships were built bigger and bigger.

The Royal Dockyard has already begun designing passenger and cargo ships of [-] tons.

The iron and steel smelting, industrial machinery, and engineering construction related industries directly related to shipbuilding are all in a state of high fire cooking oil.
