The collapse of the Blue Mosque collapsed even the confidence of the Ottoman Empire.

This attack from the sky has exceeded the imagination of the Ottomans, and some even believe that this is Allah's punishment for those who rule the **.

Grand Vizier Kopluru. Muhammad. Pasha and the others were still hesitating, because the conditions proposed by the Qin people were really unacceptable.

Beginning at noon that day, hundreds of warships lined up at sea and launched a fierce artillery bombardment of Istanbul, with thousands of projectiles flying through the sky and bombarding the city walls with an appalling sound.

If it was just such an artillery bombardment, although it was fierce, the Ottomans were not too afraid, and they also had artillery at the head of the city, which could also return fire fiercely.

Immediately afterward, a ball of fireball erupted from the Kubalti Hall of the Tokabi Palace, and the majestic dome collapsed in the bombardment, making a deafening loud noise, and billowing smoke and dust enveloped the entire Tokabi Palace.

That night, Dou Qing, the capital of the Qin army, was invited to the Galata Tower again, and Bapres held the agreement that he had trampled under his feet, staring at Dou Qing with fiery eyes, as if he wanted to eat his skin and drink his blood.

Dou Qing didn't see it, and said lightly: "People's anger is actually willing to be dissatisfied with themselves. Your Excellency the Vizier, you should hate your Great Vizier, who provoked the war between the two countries. You should also hate yourself, you also chose war last night.

War is always cruel, and if you dare to choose war, you should dare to bear the corresponding consequences, instead of taking your anger out on others, which is a coward's behavior. ”

After the translator translated Dou Qing's passage. Bapress was almost angry, but when he thought about it, he had to admit that Dou Qing's words were deeply philosophical.

He suppressed his anger and said: "It's just that the wicked people sue first, Princess Agul of Kazakhstan and our Sultan have been betrothed, you have captured my future queen of the Ottoman Empire, and the war between the two countries was provoked by you first!" ”

"The Kazakhs invaded my Great Qin, and my Great Qin sent troops to attack, and afterwards I only knew that I had captured a Kazakh princess, if she was the queen of the Ottomans, then why didn't the vizier call her the queen. And what about the princess? ”

Dou Qing didn't bother to talk to him about this matter, and without waiting for him to answer, he immediately said: "Your Excellency Vizier, I thought you asked me to come to talk about peace, if not, please forgive me for not accompanying me!" ”

Bapres's argument was only to gain a moral upper hand during the negotiations, but it did not affect the course of the negotiations. Hell, after tonight, where will the flying devils bomb tomorrow?

So the two sides sat down, under the blazing torches, and had a huge and fierce argument on the terms of the agreement proposed by Dou Qing. Dou Qing almost didn't give an inch, making Bapres so angry that he almost flipped the table.

In this round of negotiations, no substantive progress has been made.

When Dou Qing was about to brush his sleeves away, Bapres woke up from his rage. Now it's people who are swordsmen, and I'm fish and meat.

If it drags on for a few more days, Istanbul will probably be bombed into ruins. Now the Sultan and his ministers have to live in caves during the day.

In addition to the huge threat posed by Istanbul, Hungary and Austria are also mobilizing troops to prepare for a counteroffensive on the front line in Vienna.

The 80,000-strong army of the Safavid Empire had launched an onslaught on the valley of the two rivers, and its troops were directed towards Baghdad.

In order to cope with the war, the Ottoman Empire, which had an empty treasury, could only keep raising taxes and even reached out to the church fund, which made the church very dissatisfied; More and more of the Sipahi cavalry lords in various places went bankrupt, and these people rebelled with their cavalry, causing smoke to smoke everywhere.

What is even more worrying is that Li Ding's 50,000-strong army is building a large ship in Baku, apparently trying to bypass the Lesser Caucasus Mountains from the Caspian Sea and directly invade Asia Minor.

Asia Minor was the heart of the Ottoman Empire, and if this region was invaded, the rest of the territory could be cut off from Istanbul, and the entire empire could fall apart if the Baghdad region resisted the Safavid army.

Bapres hurriedly grabbed Dou Qing and started the second round of negotiations.

Article 1 is to draw the national border based on the area under the actual control of the two countries, and to invifast each other in the future.

In fact, there is not much to dispute about this article, and the high rope area occupied by the Qin army wants to let people spit it out again, and if they change themselves, I am afraid they will not be willing.

Fourth, send two princesses, and select 200 beauties to send to Daqin and relatives.

This one is nothing, political marriages are very common in all countries, and they are harmless.

The most critical are the second and third articles: the Ottomans compensated the Great Qin war funds of 10 million taels of silver. Ceded the territory of Sinai to Cairo to Daqin, and evacuated all the local people.

Not to mention 10 million taels of silver, it is 1 million taels, and now the Ottoman treasury can't take it out.

There was also the cession of Suez, which was the key to Ottoman revitalization, and once ceded out, the Ottomans would forever lose control of the eastern and western trade routes.

On these two points, Bapres and Dou Qing fought for each other.

Dou Qing suddenly stopped, took a sip of water, and then said calmly: "Your Excellency Vizier, in terms of war reparations, you may be able to give your country some relief, but in the Suez region, I advise Your Excellency Vizier not to dwell on it anymore;

You should know that if the war continues, the whole of Ottoman will be in danger of falling apart, and that only the small region of Suez will be lost. ”

As soon as Bapres saw that Dou Qing had loosened up on the war reparations, he immediately turned to this article and said solemnly: "Lord Dou, the 10 million war reparations demanded by your country are too much!" This is absolutely not possible, and even if we agree, the treasury will not be able to come up with so much silver.

500,000, we agree to give your country a maximum of 500,000 taels, and it cannot be said to be a war reparation, but as a dowry for the princess. ”

"Whether it is the dowry or the war reparations, my country will not care about this, but our bottom line is eight million taels, and it must not be less than this amount, otherwise there will be no need for peace talks to continue;

Of course, in order to take care of your country, you do not need to come up with this money in one lump sum, it can be repaid in twenty years, or it can be mortgaged by taxes. It is even possible to use labor to cover part of the loan. ”

"Labor compensation?" This drew the attention of Bapres, the Ottoman territory was vast, and there was nothing else, but there was a lot of labor.

"Yes, it's okay to pay compensation with labor."

"Lord Dou, please make it clear, how to use labor to compensate?"

"I Daqin may need a lot of labor in the future, 100,000, or even 200,000, and then your country will provide me Daqin with a labor, and according to the price of labor, I will be able to offset the corresponding compensation. There are also food and grass materials needed by the laborers, which, if your country is willing to provide, can also be converted into silver at market value to pay compensation. ”

"One hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand? Lord Dou, what does your country need so much labor for? ”

"This is my Great Qin's internal affairs, Your Excellency Vizier doesn't need to ask, this matter is actually beneficial to the Ottomans, and this official will not lie to you."

Bapres looked suspicious and almost forgot to continue to bargain with Dou Qing.

Dou Qing was secretly funny, Bapres was afraid that he wanted to break his head, and it was impossible to figure out the trick.

With Daqin's naval strength, it is completely possible to grab the port strongholds in West Africa and control the maritime trade routes in West Africa, why didn't Daqin grab it?

That's because the majestic Emperor Qin intended to dig a canal in the Suez region to connect the Red River with the Mediterranean.

Once this canal is excavated, it will definitely require a lot of money, manpower and material resources, and in terms of manpower, it is possible to go to Africa to catch black slaves, but it is not an easy task to catch 120,000 black slaves.

To put it bluntly, Great Qin just wanted the Ottoman Empire to pay for the excavation of the canal.

Therefore, on the two items of cession of the Suez region and war reparations, it is impossible for Dou Qing to make many concessions to Bapres.

If you don't agree, then continue the air strikes until you agree.
