Chapter 1949: The enemy

Seeing that Ye Chunqiu did not interrupt him, and even was willing to listen to him quietly, Ibrahim Pasha seemed to have received some encouragement and continued, "The Ottoman Empire has experienced the eleventh Sultan. If there was an emperor in your Ming Dynasty, not smart enough, brave enough, and decisive enough, the Ming Dynasty would still be the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor would still be the emperor; but if there was a sultan in the Ottoman Empire, if there was a sultan that was not wise enough, without unparalleled wisdom and decisiveness, then the empire would collapse."

"Because of this, Your Highness will never understand our laws and systems, just as many times, I cannot understand your Ming Dynasty. In your eyes, perhaps the Sultan's behavior is unclean or immoral, but in my eyes, it should be so. A weak Sultan cannot bear this empire. Fortunately, the Sultan I serve now is more decisive than their ancestors. Only he can shock all Pasha, maintain this empire, and even make this empire stronger."

Ye Chunqiu was indeed surprised at the tradition Ibrahim Pasha at first, but now after hearing Ibrahim Pasha say so much, he felt a little unable to refute it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Maybe it, but I can see that you are indeed loyal to the Sultan."

Ibrahim Pasha smiled and said, "Because for me, like all Pashas, ​​I understand very well that only by being a virtuous and loyal master of the great Sultan can I protect myself."

Ye Chunqiu laughed and said, "So if one day I can protect you, will you be loyal to me?"

Ibrahim Pasha was stunned for a moment. Obviously, he never expected Ye Chunqiu to say such things.

Looking at Ibrahim Pasha's astonishment, Ye Chunqiu continued: "If one day, I will give you the highest courtesy, so that you and your family can enjoy wealth and prosperity, and your descendants can enjoy the rich and beautiful clothes for generations. I ask you, will you be loyal to me?"

Ibrahim Pasha wandered for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that these words will reach the Sultan's ears?"

Ye Chunqiu shook his head without thinking, "I am not afraid at all, because I know very well that you are trying hard to ask His Majesty Sultan to bring me to Istanbul to rescue the Ottoman Empire. The Sultan trusts you, so he asked you to bring me, the reinforcements. If you report what you are doing now, your great achievements will be a big deal."

"Also, I think you are a smart person, and smart people will never do anything reckless. Now Istanbul is about to fall into siege. I have given you a way out. This way out is that once the city is broken and your Ottoman Empire collapses, you are very likely to become a prisoner of Franji. Instead of becoming a prisoner, you might as well leave yourself a way out."

"Besides," Ye Chunqiu smiled confidently before saying: "Although I brought 20,000 people, I may not have an advantage in number, but I am confident that no matter what will happen in the end, I will definitely survive. When you first arrived at Qinglong, you must have seen some knowledge of the national strength of Lu. I will not boast about you. You are a smart person and you should know what the future will look like and who can become the master of the world. In the past, the wiseness of the monarch determined the strength of a country, but I believe you are a very foresighted person and must be very clear that in the future, the determination of national strength is steel and coal. Whoever has more steel is the future king."

Ibrahim Pasha, who was originally relaxed, was speechless.

He didn't expect Ye Chunqiu to say so bluntly, which made him a little overwhelmed.

He said embarrassedly: "Your Highness, what else should I say? I want to ask me."

This guy is indeed very smart. When he saw Ye Chunqiu throwing an olive branch to him, he immediately realized that Ye Chunqiu had other purposes.

Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but smile and then said, "I think this Crusade is not that simple. The Battle of Montenegro must have missed some information, right?"

Ibrahim Pasha was silent, but did not speak immediately.

He is a person who is cautious in his words and deeds, and he knows very well that some things must be hidden from Ye Chunqiu.

Ye Chunqiu continued: "You only said that the Ottoman Empire was defeated and killed and injured tens of thousands of guards. But I know that the Ottoman Empire is extremely large and has millions of armored men. Even if it loses tens of thousands of people, it will never panic. Since then, it has come from thousands of miles away to request reinforcements, and is even willing to pay a valuable price. There are too many incredible things here. It is because of the strangeness that I predict that something is abnormal and it will be a monster. I think you must have hidden many things from this king. But since I have already doubted, do you know why I will come?"

Ibrahim Pasha tried hard to show a calm attitude, but his heart was already getting pounding. Obviously, things didn't seem to be as smooth as he thought.

Ye Chunqiu smiled and said, "Because I want to come and see what happened here, so that the long-lost Ottoman Empire is helpless. In fact, it doesn't matter whether you tell me or not. If I dare to come, I can guarantee that any conspiracy will be vulnerable in front of me."

Ye Chunqiu was silent for a moment, and suddenly looked at Ibrahim Pasha deeply, his eyes full of deep meaning: "Now, when all the answers are answered, I can still regard you as a friend before my words are opened, because you are the first Ottoman that I contact. But once I arrive in Istanbul, and finally understand everything and see through all your tricks, then we will no longer be friends. We will be enemies. You said, how did you Ottomans treat the enemy?"

"I..." Ibrahim Pasha opened his mouth, and couldn't say anything for a moment. He actually felt a sudden chill all over his body.
