Chapter 1940: Butterfly Effect
From Ibrahim Pasha, Ye Chunqiu did not believe that the Ottoman Sultan was a fool, and it was even very likely that he was a monarch who knew how to be far-sighted.
But why did he just fight with the Franjimen? The other party seemed to panic and even rushed over to ask himself to help the battle?
Anyway, there is a conspiracy behind this.
Or maybe it was, the Ottomans were beaten and hurt!
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but wonder what kind of crushing defeat the Ottomans had experienced, so they were like a desperate attempt to catch any straw.
Ibrahim Pasha seemed to see Ye Chunqiu's thoughts. He knew that the request he made was too abrupt and was very likely to cause doubts on the other side, so he continued: "To show sincerity, the Ottoman Empire was willing to pay enough price. All the losses and consumptions were burdened by the Ottoman Empire. In addition, we are willing to send enough gold and silver to ask His Highness to lead troops to help. In addition, when the war is over, the Sultan is willing to take Persia with His Highness. All the territory of Persia belongs to His Highness. Ottoman is willing to conclude a long-term alliance with Lu to deal with our common enemy."
I have to say that this condition is tempting.
In fact, even if they didn't invite themselves to help the war, Ye Chunqiu would definitely go to the Western Expedition. You should know that for the Western Expedition, Lu had paid a huge price. Countless money wasted. Major newspapers have been shouting hard for half a year. Now the crowd is in anger, and countless people are looking forward to this war.
As for whom the Lu army was fighting after leaving the Hot Spring Pass, it doesn't matter. What's important is that everything is ready now, and the new army urgently needs to make achievements. The mentality of seeking war is extremely strong, and the people also need a victory, waiting for a cheer.
Ye Chunqiu's face was silent, but said, "How much gold and silver can your country give?"
Ibrahim Pasha said: "Three hundred thousand gold coins."
Ye Chunqiu thought about it, but shook his head and said, "It's too little, at least 500,000. In addition, I also need a lot of silver, and all the spoils belong to me. In the end, I not only need Persia, but also you need to offer a piece of land."
Ye Chunqiu first made a fortune in business. How could he miss a good opportunity to offer a price all over the world?
Since the other party is already a person who falls into the water, there is almost no room for negotiation. It is nothing more than asking Ye Chunqiu to propose conditions.
Ibrahim Pasha hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes. But we also have conditions. The Lu army can only send at most 20,000 people. This is the limit. Apart from that, no army is allowed to enter the Ottoman territory."
In fact, Ibrahim Pasha was quite relieved about the Lu army, because if he did not take over Persia and other places, the Lu State and the Ottoman were not bordered, which means that the other side would not have support.
They went deep into the army alone, and even if they were amazing, they could not intimidate the Ottoman Empire. And limiting the number of troops on the other side was just in case. Only in this way could this enemy army be foolproof.
Although Ibrahim Pasha was hesitant, in Ye Chunqiu's opinion, he still felt too relaxed, which made Ye Chunqiu slightly stunned.
This shows that in Ibrahim Pasha's heart, Ye Chunqiu's request did not touch his bottom line, but the problem is that the other party agreed without hesitation about such a "destroying power and humiliating country". What the hell is this?
With this suspicion, Ye Chunqiu felt more and more strange the more he thought about it, but he wanted to know more, and only King Lu could use the help of the only one. I guess the news of that war would be reported soon.
However... I ran to fight against the Franji people's Western Expedition with the Ottomans... Ye Chunqiu suddenly felt a confused feeling.
By the way...what the hell is this Eastern Expedition?
Although Ye Chunqiu deeply believed that his arrival would definitely trigger a butterfly effect, at least in the Ming Dynasty and the grassland, the pattern has changed drastically.
But Franchise, that's the other side of the sky. When I flap my wings here, I can flap the Franchise man so suddenly that his combat power is overwhelming? What's the situation?
But now it is too late to figure it out completely. Since we are going to fight the West after all, it would be nice to go and have a look, and isn't there a bunch of tempting spoils?
Ye Chunqiu was not worried that he would be stabbed in the back by the Ottomans. If the 20,000 new troops were fully fed, he would not be afraid of any enemies at all.
Ye Chunqiu's greatest curiosity was, what was wrong with this Franchise man?
The only explanation may be that the sailing Franchise rovers noticed the power of new weapons. For example, there was a new army like this, and there might be firearms flowing into the hands of Franchise rovers. They mastered some powerful firearms through imitation.
But Ye Chunqiu is still a little suspicious, because the technological progress is definitely not something you can give him an advanced thing, he can make a breakthrough. With the current technology and craftsmanship conditions of Franchise, without decades of hard work, he may not even be able to touch the edge of the new arms, so why is it completely renewed in the blink of an eye?
Or maybe I thought about it myself, the war strength of Franchiser has indeed improved a lot after the great voyage...
Ye Chunqiu had too many questions in his heart, but no matter what, he finally agreed to Ibrahim Pasha: "Since that's the case, I will make a new plan for this matter. As for you, let me go west with me. You can reply to the Sultan and tell him that I have agreed to this matter, but it is just some minor issues, but we still need to continue to negotiate."
Ibrahim Pasha's face suddenly showed joy, as if he had a sigh of relief. He hurriedly said gratefully: "If His Majesty Sultan knew about His Highness's generosity and kindness, he would be grateful."
Ye Chunqiu said perfunctorily: "Since it is an allied country, how can you sit back and see it?"
Ibrahim Pasha was arranged to rest, but Ye Chunqiu, who was still in the mirror hall, lost the calmness he had just now. After a little thought, he quickly ordered people to gather all the scholars from the small cabinet.
When Tang Bohu and others came here, they saw Ye Chunqiu looking frowning and unable to understand.
Before everyone could react, Ye Chunqiu raised his eyes and said, "This Western Expedition may be about to turn around, and things are not as simple as that."
