Section 1155 The Rise of Ottoman Independence (II)

Independent statehood, the founding king!

The Chinese pledged to support the side against the Ottoman Empire!

Instigated by Su Peng, Faisal Ahmed dreamed of becoming a big man, and he decided to become the emir of Cyrenaica himself, which made Su Peng praise him repeatedly.

Cyrenaica is the district where Benghazi is located, and in fact, Faisal Ahmed controls less than a quarter of the area.

The emir's title was smaller than that of the Sultan, and his mind was not completely lost, and if he called himself the Sultan or the Caliph, Su Peng would say that he was beyond his means.

Su Peng sneered in his heart, he released a bait, not worrying about the other party's distraction.

"Rather be the head of the chicken, not the queen of the cow!"

Everyone wants to be in power alone, and Faisal Ahmed is no exception, he was suppressed by the Ottoman Empire before and did not dare to think about it, but now it is different, the Ottoman Empire is defeated!

The Turks no longer have the strength to cross the Nile to threaten Benghazi, and the new owner of Egypt is a tyrant with a terrible amount of his family's territory on the map, and Faisal Ahmed is completely convinced that he will not fight his own sand idea, and since he is strongly supportive, why not be independent!

Su Peng, who succeeded in Benghazi, wrote a letter asking Faisal Ahmed to send a ship to Cairo, Egypt, for further work, while he continued his journey to Tripoli.

Tripoli is much more prosperous than Benghazi, it is located on the northern edge of the Sahara Desert, an oasis on the southern shore of the Mediterranean, the city is lush with plum trees, flowers and plants, fresh air, pleasant climate, founded by the Phoenicians in the 7th century BC, the city has a long history, maintains a strong Arabic style, as well as the remains of the ancient Roman arena and the castles, palaces, temples of various dynasties, etc.

It was now under the control of the Anais Pasha, a loyal and reliable Pasha who was now besieged in the city of Sorrow, and he could no longer control the city, and the decree could not be sent out of his palace.

There is no country to speak of on this side of North Africa, they are all tribes, and they get the right to speak according to their strength, and the current control of Tripoli is the tribal leader Al-Azhar, who has tens of thousands of cavalry, ambitious, does not listen to the instructions of Anas Pasha, does not send troops to Egypt, but also does not tear up with Anas Pasha, after all, the Ottoman Empire is strong, who knows if it will make a comeback.

Since Anais Pasha has lost control of the city, Su Peng has safely landed ashore, and after he arrived, he first sent someone to contact the related households, and then covered his face and went shopping!

The port of Tripoli is not small, there are many red boats moored--- it is religion for religion, business for business, the old city is on the shore, the Red Fort---, narrow streets, bustling bazaars and beautiful courtyards, showing a strong ancient Arab style.

Su Peng even saw some Arab beauties, they are different from Egyptian and Syrian women who wear fat black robes, and the women of Tripoli wear bright and well-fitting robes, with exquisite curves, and some even show beautiful faces!

The appearance is quite high, and there are a lot of people!

is even more beautiful than the beauties he saw in Benghazi at the beginning, Su Peng encountered sugar-coated cannonballs in Benghazi, he was sugar-coated and eaten, and the cannonballs were returned, compared with the beauties he saw now, the women in Benghazi were dwarfed.

Not bad!

Su Peng felt a little pity and gave up such a good place not to occupy it.

He knew that his country's plan was called "suffocation", and that the leader was none other than the personable and bad-haired Mr. David, who wanted to dismember the Ottoman Empire!

The Ottoman Empire was a pluralistic feudal empire with many ethnic groups and sects, a small number of Turkic ruling classes, and no dominant position, and deep contradictions between various ethnic groups and religions, with serious separatist tendencies. The Arabs, Slavs, Armenians, Greeks and other ethnic groups in the territory have been seeking independence, and the wave of independence is surging.

There was not a unified Ottoman Empire, but a country that was "pinched" together by a strong military force with religion as a bond of identity.

Since it is the same religion, there are many subdivided sects, and there are many contradictions!

They kill people of the same religion, even harder!

When the military strength is weakened, it will be "Qin loses its deer", and the heroes of the world will chase it together!

All the Chinese have to do is give them a boost and speed up the process.

As long as the localities are independent, Mr. David does not believe that the inflated ambitions will return to the "warm" embrace of the Turks, but unlike China, under the aura of great unification, as long as there is no unity in one part of the territory, all Chinese will be uncomfortable.

Even if people everywhere make trouble and the region is black, no one wants to split up.

This is well manifested in China on land, and it is also deeply recognized in China at sea, even on the outlying islands, where all the people recognize themselves as belonging to the same country.

Yan Changwu is confident that as long as he is allowed to govern for 50 consecutive years, not a single island in China on the sea will be separated!

But for the Ottoman Empire, it was different, and they were already unconvinced, and they wanted to split up when something happened, and a strong Oriental to contain the military power of the Turks, you see if they were separated!

No, the southeastern country has an intelligence agency in Tripoli, and after threading the needle for Su Peng, Su Peng was immediately led into the mansion of Al-Azhar for consultation!

The tribesmen were direct, Azhar was tall and thin, but his voice was loud, and he asked: "You Chinese defeated those Turks for the second time and beheaded 100,000?" ”

"Not bad!" Su Peng said calmly: "We first killed 200,000 Ottoman troops under the city of Cairo, and then defeated 200,000 Ottoman troops in the Battle of Homs City, beheading 100,000, and the Turks lost 300,000 capable soldiers before and after, and the main force was lost, which is no longer a problem!" ”

"What about your losses?" Al-Azhar asked unceremoniously.

"The first time we only defended the city of Cairo, the loss was not large, and together with the second battle, our side lost 60,000 people!" Su Peng didn't hide it from him.

Su Peng is a talent, he can speak many foreign languages, and it is not a problem to communicate with Al-Azhar.

Al-Azhar gets excited and circles around the house!

This guy is an enthusiastic and unrestrained person, and when he met Su Peng for the first time, he gave him a big hug and treated him as an old friend.

Unlike Faisal Ahmed of Benghazi, he was not very interested in the golden promises of the Orientals, and was more concerned with the news brought by Su Peng about the defeat of the Ottoman army.

"You promise to defeat the Turks?" He asked bluntly.

"No problem!" Su Peng is quite sure that the main force of the Southeast Army is now under the leadership of the leader, and it is difficult to defeat!

"That's it!" Al-Azhar said happily: "Then, we will also establish an independent state, and the name of the country is 'Kingdom of Tripolitania'!" ”

Su Peng immediately arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to His Majesty the King!" ”
