The Ottoman Empire, which was smoking everywhere and was in a state of flux, finally relented, and except for the war reparations, which were reduced to six million taels, there were no major changes in the other terms.
With the Lesser Caucasus Mountains as the boundary, the Suez region was ceded, two princesses and two hundred beauties were selected to make peace with Daqin, the two countries exempted each other from customs duties, opened treaty ports, allowed the free circulation of goods, and so on.
After the agreement was signed, the Qin army stopped bombing Istanbul on the grounds that they had run out of rockets.
It is impossible to pose a real threat to Istanbul by relying on the naval guns of European countries alone, and at this time, the Ottoman firearms were not lagging behind the West, and without the main air attack of the Qin army, European countries did not have much hope of breaking through Istanbul.
So the warships of various countries chose some affordable ones, constantly attacked and looted along the coast, and after grabbing a bowl and filling up, they withdrew.
In this way, the Ottomans were finally able to concentrate on the massive Hungarian counteroffensive on the Vienna front, the Safavid army that had invaded Baghdad, and the growing rebellion in the country.
At this time, the Safavid had already captured many cities in the two river valleys, but due to the continuous increase of Ottoman troops in Baghdad, coupled with the Kurdish forces in the Khorasan region and the gradual emergence of Uzbek cavalry, the Safavid Empire had to withdraw its troops to fight the fire.
After destroying the Ottoman navy, Spain withdrew first, for the simple reason that Philip IV was still obsessed with attacking France, and without the containment of the Ottoman navy, the invincible armada, which was not weaker than the British navy, had a lot to do.
At the same time, a peace agreement was reached with the grapes, and there were no worries, and Philip IV was ready to make a big deal in Europe.
What will happen to Europe, Daqin doesn't care, you can make a pot of porridge, as long as it doesn't affect Daqin's trade.
On the Indian side, after Aurangzeb's defeat in Delhi, he sent someone to assassinate his brother. Conquer the soldiers and horses of Bengal Province. Then he coerced and lured again, so that the younger brother of Gujarat Province became an alliance and sent troops to attack the back of the Sangha army.
Before the Sangha led the army into the Indus Valley, the Mughal Empire was basically in its heyday, and its strength should not be underestimated.
After Olon Zebu integrated his internal strength, he sent people to Daqin to pay tribute, offered a large amount of gold and silver treasures, and surrendered himself to a vassal state of Tibet.
Considering that the emergence of a unified and powerful regime on the Indian continent would not be conducive to the further control of the region by the Great Qin, even if this regime was established by the Dzungar Ministry now supported by the Great Qin.
This moment. At that time, once Dzungar was allowed to unify India, he might not be so obedient.
Therefore, after consulting with the ministers, Qin Mu decided to accept Aurangzeb as a minister.
Without the threat of the Qin army from behind, and the internal integration has been made, Aurangzeb and the monks are on a par with each other;
At this time, the Dzungar tribe basically occupied the area of Pakistan in later generations, and its policy of treating all faiths equally was very supportive of the locals. It gradually gained a foothold in the Indian valley and formed a stalemate with the Mughals.

In the city of Beijing, men, women and children flocked to the streets to watch, and thousands of people were empty. It's very lively. With the arrival of the emperor's chariot, the people fell to the ground, shouting long live, and the sound rose and fell.
Although Beijing is only the capital. However, it has the heritage of the capital for hundreds of years, and it is still the most important military, political, cultural and economic center in the north.
Qin Mu sat on the imperial chariot and saw the thriving influence in the city. I feel very relieved.
Autumn in Beijing, without the pollution of later generations, is blue and high.
The royal car entered the Forbidden City, and the officials who accompanied it were also settled in the imperial city, and this time, in addition to the two cabinet ministers, the seven left attendants, and the governors of the navy and land also accompanied the northern tour.
Qin Mu recruited Han Gang, the general of Beijing Town, and Tian Yimu, the governor of Beizhili, to the Zhongji Hall to inquire about the preparations for the autumn hunt.
Han Gang and Tian Yimu saw the face of the sky, and fell to the ground with excitement, shouting long live.
Qin Mu didn't seem to have much fatigue from the journey, he was heroic, he was also very happy to see these two confidants, and said with a smile: "Yimu is the first master I invited, and Han Gang is also an old man who follows me, I believe in you, so I let you guard Beijing." Nanjing, Beijing, and Xijing are all stationed with heavy troops, just like an iron triangle, these three capitals are stabilized, and the rivers and mountains of Daqin can be stable, you don't want to be like a nouveau riche, you must calm down and take Beijing under my control. ”
"The ministers strictly follow His Majesty's teachings and dare not slack off in the slightest."
"Well, are you ready for the autumn hunt?"
"Back to Your Majesty, everything is ready, the commanders of the Mongolian ministries and the Korean prince Li Jun are all rushing to Rehe."
"Okay, I will rest with the ministers for three days, and then I will go out."
After asking these questions, Qin Mu returned to the Qianqing Palace in the back court to change clothes and bathe.
There were a lot of concubines accompanying him this time, there were nearly 20 people, Yun Qiaoer, Red Lady, Li Xiangjun, Gu Hanyan, Li Zhiyin, Aguli, Bian Yujing, Katerina, Haina, Meng Guqing, Princess Isman of Safavid, Princess Catalina of Portugal, and Princess Karen of France, as well as two superb beauties from noble ladies named Sophie and Alice, and even the empress Xingzi of Japan was also brought.
Qin Mu lay in the hot bath and asked the Persian princess Esman, the Portuguese princess Caterina, the French princess Karen, and the empress Xingzi to come to the bath.
Looking at these exotic beauties in various forms, Qin Mu was secretly amused, remembering that when he was in Ningbo City, he saw a foreign girl, and the guards around him wanted to get people in order to please him.
At that time, Qin Mu said very arrogantly, what is this, in the future, he will collect all the princesses of various countries in the harem.
Unexpectedly, after a joke spread, the generals of Great Qin did not forget to think about other people's princesses wherever they fought.
Now that I think about it, there are two Ottoman princesses, a Polish princess, a Tsarist princess and the queen, all of which are really unique.
Halfway through the bath, the female official Liu Ru came in to report: "Your Majesty, I just received a telegram from Wang Bencheng that the explorers have sent a large gold mine in South Africa,"
"Good! That's great! ”
This is a great thing, South Africa's Rand gold mine is the largest gold mine in the world, Daqin wants to transition to the gold standard, need a large amount of gold reserves, the discovery of this gold mine, for Daqin's financial hegemony has extraordinary significance.
Qin Mu was excited, and directly pushed down the princesses who were waiting in the bath, and came to a unique "Around the World" trip, which was not enough for outsiders!
Afterwards, Qin Mu recruited Sophie and Alice, two superb French beauties, and asked them to help massage them.
Qin Mu was lying on the soft couch, and the massage of the two beauties made him hum comfortably.
The autumn breeze outside the window is slightly cool, the white clouds are high, looking back, since the beginning of the army in southern Gansu, it has been eight years, and he has also changed from a seventeen-year-old boy to a twenty-five-year-old person, and he has been in the top position for a long time, and even makes people a little afraid.
In eight years, the Great Qin Empire underwent earth-shaking changes, and with his strong support, industry and commerce showed a blowout development, and the tax revenue of industry and commerce exceeded the agricultural tax, accounting for seventy-five percent of the annual income.
In terms of education, mathematics, physics and chemistry education is steadily advancing;
The rapid development of science and technology is also very amazing, under the inclination of the policy and the encouragement of the Royal Science Award, a large number of scientific research achievements continue to emerge, and the status of scientific researchers continues to improve, and they are no longer lowly craftsmen. Like more than 200 members of the Royal Academy of Sciences, that status is no lower than that of ordinary officials.
The prosperity of maritime trade not only promoted the development of industry, allowed the court and the people to accumulate a lot of wealth, but also broadened people's horizons, changed people's ideological form, and understood the importance of sea power.
It can be said that without the continuous blood transfusion of the navy and the prosperous maritime trade, it would be absolutely impossible for Daqin to recover from the ruins of war in such a short period of time and enter an unprecedented prosperous and prosperous era.
Now, the pace of Great Qin's expansion has come to an end for the time being, and the next step is how to consolidate the huge territory.
Great Qin and the border Safavid, Ottoman, Poland and other countries have signed border agreements, for the time being, there is no need to worry about the threat from the outside, as for the future, it is definitely necessary to be prepared for war, born in sorrow, died in peace, there are some enemies around, it is not necessarily a bad thing.
What we should pay attention to now is the internal governance of the territories that have just been conquered, and these things have just begun, especially in the Caucasus and Central Asia, where the people's situation is relatively complicated, and it is impossible to completely solve the problem by blindly killing. It also takes some means of assimilation.
