Another grand dinner was held in Istanbul's Sultan's Palace. The Ottomans warmly entertained the French envoys www.biquge.info the Ottomans. In the battle that had just ended on the European continent, Napoleon won another brilliant victory, and Austria completely capitulated.

In the First Battle of Lower Austria, the Austrian army suffered 35,000 casualties and 10,000 prisoners, and its losses were no less great than the Battle of the Three Emperors that year. But the commander-in-chief of the Austrian army, Archduke Karl, perfectly withdrew the remaining army, and the main force of the Austrian army remained, leaving Napoleon with only 9 guns and a military flag. At the same time, the French army also paid a very high price in the battle, and the French army lost 27,000 men.

For a whole week, the French continued to pursue the retreating Austrians. Napoleon did not completely defeat Karl, but Franz I of Austria was already frightened. Since the Austrian army started the war with the French army, the Austrian army, under the leadership of Archduke Karl, although it won the battle of Aspeen-Eisling, ambushed the French army led by Napoleon under the nose of the city of Vienna, killed and captured nearly 30,000 French soldiers, and seriously wounded Napoleon's general, the French Marshal Lana. However, Austria still lost most of the war.

The First Battle of Lower Austria was Karl's second attack on Napoleon, and he successfully lured the French army into his net, but Karl no longer had the strength to pull up the net at this time, but allowed the French army to break through the net.

Franz I had fled Vienna before that, and seeing no hope of victory in the war, he chose 'peace'. He sent messengers to Napoleon to ask for a truce, and Napoleon readily agreed, and France was not easy in this war, and his love put Jean Lannes near death at the Battle of Aspern-Aisling, and now many of his main forces were still trapped in Spain. But Napoleon was not prepared to let go of Austria, which had repeatedly been his enemy, and he put forward harsh conditions, and the deflated Austrian emperor was ready to endure everything.

The French envoy brought the latest news to Istanbul, and Franz I of Austria accepted all the French terms: Austria ceded part of the land to the French Empire, returned its Polish land to the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, paid a huge war reparations of 150,000,000 francs, limited the number of troops to 150,000, and continued the policy of continental blockade against British goods.

150,000,000 francs was the price Chen Han paid for Louisiana from Napoleon, which was equivalent to 43.5 metric tons of gold. What's more, Austria was able to keep only 150,000 troops from then on. This is tantamount to making Austria fall to the second-rate level in Europe all of a sudden.

When the Ottoman magnates in Istanbul heard the news, they all went crazy. Austria was the second sworn enemy of the Ottomans after Russia. From the distant 14th/15th centuries, they were the main enemies of the Ottomans in the West. And now, Austria is so humble in praying for peace with the French, which shows that the Ottoman enemy of the West has been completely defeated.

Their own sworn enemy suffered a heavy blow, and the whole of Istanbul was boiling. This is like the attack on the World Trade Center in the former lighthouse country of time and space, although countless Chinese are openly condemning the rioters, but many people must have gloating in their hearts. This is because the Lighthouse Nation is their 'enemy'. Now the Ottomans are happy because of this.

The French envoy was immediately warmly received by the highest courtesy in Istanbul. Today, Selim III celebrates Napoleon's victory over Austria by holding a high-profile and high-profile gala dinner in his palace. Pang Zhenkun is naturally on the list as a representative of China.

But compared with the excitement of the Ottomans and the happiness of the French, Pang Zhenkun felt that he was so tired!

Because he felt as if the Ottomans had been fooled by the French.

Napoleon sent people to Istanbul at this time, what did he want to do? It was by no means just a message to the Ottomans, he wanted to form an alliance with the Ottomans and push the relationship between the two countries one step further.

Despite the fact that France and Russia seem to be friendly now, they are already accumulating contradictions on the Polish issue.

Moreover, where is the biggest gap in the continental blockade policy that Napoleon insisted on? That's Russia. Taking advantage of Napoleon's continental blockade order, Russia has not done too much business with the British in the past two years. The Office for Europe judged that Napoleon would not be patient with Russia for a long time. Emperor Chen also judged early that there would be a war between France and Russia.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Ottomans were so happy to get closer to the French. Because before the arrival of the French, Pang Zhenkun had already clearly expressed his intentions - Chen Han judged that there would be a war between France and Russia, and at that time Chen Han hoped that the Ottomans could still fulfill the alliance signed between the two countries and declare war on Russia. And this is also the best time for the Ottomans to take revenge, retake the other half of the Crimean Peninsula, retake the Black Sea coast, and return to the Sea of Azov.

There have been 20 years of peace between the Ottomans and Russia, which is a long period of time, and China has used these 20 years to cultivate its internal strength, and now it has shocked the whole world, and has a real battle against the whole of Europe, and is stepping into the foundation of the 'head of the earth'. The Ottomans also made great strides, including the Russians. This is the time it will take a generation to grow from a baby to an adult.

But the hatred that pervaded the Ottomans and Russia did not disappear at all. When the Ottomans heard that Chen Han judged that Napoleon would start a war against Russia, and the Chinese wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, they were very happy to come and rob again.

Seriously, the reason why Napoleon's envoys were so popular really had an impact for this reason.

But Napoleon didn't know, and the French didn't know that their intentions had been 'seen through' by Chen Ming. On this trip to Istanbul, the French played an overt pretense of targeting Austria, and they were closer to the Ottomans, that is, in order to befriend the Ottomans and let the Ottomans greet Austria. This capricious power was a great threat to Napoleon. Especially the presence of Karl, Napoleon has never met a more capable commander in Europe than Karl.

The defeat at the Battle of Aspein-Aisling was the first serious frontal defeat since Napoleon's command. This is still fresh in his memory, and it is unforgettable for him.

Although Archduke Karl was disheartened by Franz's cowardice, he resigned from the army in anger after returning to Vienna, and returned home to write a book. But how could Napoleon be reassured by this formidable enemy.

The Battle of Aspeen-Aisling a few months earlier had been a near-total defeat, with the French army in general defeated, demoralized, and surrounded by Austrian troops in a small area of Lobau. If Archduke Karl's younger brother, Archduke John, had arrived as ordered and had arrived in the rear of the French army with 60,000 troops on the morning of the second day after the defeat of the French army at Aspeyne, the end result would have been the fall of Napoleon.

Napoleon's desire to draw closer to the Ottomans was certain in the future against the Russians, but it was also necessary to guard against the Austrians. For him, it's a win-win-win.

The French had a good idea, as the Ottomans easily agreed. Such a result did not damage any interests for Chen Han, on the contrary, it could also confirm Napoleon's hostility to the Russians from the side.

It's just that what makes Pang Zhenkun sigh is that some Ottoman magnates in Istanbul seem to believe the promises made by the French, including Selim III, which makes Pang Zhenkun very upset.

Thinking of him Pang Zhenkun, he started from the end of the micro, and he has been moving forward step by step for decades, and finally stepped into the high position of the first auxiliary minister, what does he rely on? It's a pair of bright eyes. Pang Zhenkun is because of his good vision that he can have today. The French envoy was obviously fooling Istanbul, but some people believed it.

Pang Zhenkun was worried that the Ottomans would be taken sideways by the French. It's too big to say, and the empty square cannon can't be done. After entering the Senior Affairs Yuan, Pang Zhenkun saw a lot of parliamentarians making nonsense at the conference, and his proposal was vetoed by the parliamentarians once, such a person is not trustworthy. The French envoy is such a person in the eyes of Pang Zhenkun, as a special envoy, what he says must carry the intention of the dominant person behind it, that is, the meaning of Napoleon, then this Napoleon is also unreliable for the Ottomans.

The 'welfare' that Chen Han brought to Osman was able to hold tangible things in his hands, and the benefits were visible and tangible for everyone. With the official opening of the Suez Canal, the Ottoman position became more and more important. Although Pang Zhenkun couldn't fully understand Chen Ming's calculations, he also knew that this was both an opportunity and a danger for the Ottomans, and it depended on how the Ottomans dealt with it.

Now that the Ottomans are mixed with the French, openly together, where does it put the British? The control of the sea in the Mediterranean is still in the hands of the British. As far as the British attached importance to the Suez Canal, the Ottomans were taking the initiative to provoke Britain and provoke Britain.

"Master, the French have abolished the god emperor, and now the Ottomans, even those bastard elders are close to France."

Seeing that Pang Zhenkun was still distressed, Pang Zhenkun's elder said persuasively.

In addition to announcing that Austria had been completely defeated by the French in Istanbul, another news that pleased the Ottomans was that Napoleon had abolished the state of faith centered in the Vatican.

The Ottomans were a celestial society, and it was a joy to hear about the Vatican's catastrophe.

After the Battle of Aspeen-Aisling, when both Pius VII and Cardinals of the Vatican were promoting the Battle of Aspeen-Aisling as God's punishment for the world's oppressors, tyrants, and persecutors of the Church, Napoleon was furious, and he remembered all the actions of Pius VII. After the defeat of the French army rested and reinforced, and after gathering 170,000 troops and 600 artillery pieces near Roburg Island and Vienna, Napoleon decided to launch a second offensive against the main Austrian army. But before the decisive battle, Napoleon felt the need to solve the problem of the emperor. He declared the city of Rome and the Emperor's realm to be fully annexed to the French Empire. As a result, Rome was occupied by the French, everything that had been in the Emperor's hands for nearly 1,500 years was lost, and Pius VII himself was sent to Savona in the south of France and imprisoned.

For the power of the Ottoman Celestial Sect, this is simply a very happy thing, very wonderful, simply wonderful.

Therefore, these elders have a good impression of France, which is also a point that Pang Zhenkun is worried about. In the Ottomans, the Chinese were not welcomed by the Order. Because China's definition in Ottoman is secular, it represents the reform force of the Ottoman faction in power. And there are some pro-French forces within the Ottoman Empire, they have a pro-French tradition, and now they have the participation of the elders, which cannot be underestimated.

And if the Ottomans really got mixed with the French, Pang Zhenkun believes that it will definitely have an impact on Chen Han. How to target the British alone is a difficult problem.

The Suez Canal has been officially opened, and the British will not leave this strategic golden waterway alone. Moreover, the de facto controller of the Suez Canal was still entangled with the Gallic rooster, the greatest enemy of the British, and the future of the Ottomans was in a fog.

Pang Zhenkun is not the roundworm in Chen Ming's stomach, and he doesn't know some of Chen Ming's plans.
