"Salit, this joke is not funny at all."

Saliman looked serious, and he thought Celit was joking with him.

"Great Sultan, this is not a joke. The Golden Horde's harassment of the borders of the empire has gradually disappeared over the years. Originally, we thought it was very strange, but now it seems that this is the reason." Sailit said cautiously.

In the Ottoman Empire, Sultan Saliman is the equivalent of a king. He is the ruler of the Ottoman Empire and a religious leader. His authority is unique in the Ottoman Empire.

Under the sultan, the Ottoman Empire also has two Savages, a privy minister, and he is one of the Savages and the person most trusted by Saliman.

Hearing this, Salliman frowned. He was not familiar with the Great Yu Kingdom, but he still had a fresh memory of the Golden Horde. More than ten years ago, it was this powerful enemy who was constantly eroding the borders of the Ottoman Empire. The Khanate appeared to him less and less often.

If Selit is right, then they have finally found the reason for the decline of the Golden Horde.

"It seems to be beneficial to us that the Great Yu Kingdom is stronger. Now we don't have to worry about the problem of the northeastern border anymore, don't we?" Saliman said happily, "Also, we can take the opportunity to seize their land."

Like all ambitious rulers, Saliman was eager to expand the Ottoman Empire.

Selit showed an embarrassed look, he said: "But the French messenger said that the former Great Yu Kingdom has changed its dynasty, and his current name is called the Chinese Empire, and the land left after the fall of the Golden Horde has been used by them. Occupy, in fact, the Ottoman Empire now borders the Chinese Empire."

Saliman's excited look gradually disappeared, and in the end, he was empty of joy. Out of the sensitivity of a ruler, he was completely wary of any powerful country adjacent to the country.

A Tsarist Russia is enough to give him a headache, and now there is obviously another enemy who seems to be more powerful.

"In this case, let's meet the French messengers, maybe they can provide good advice, and as you said, Europe is now at war with this Chinese empire, maybe we can benefit from it, after all, Ottoman is powerful The basis of this is as a trade route between the East and the West.”

"Okay, then I'll let them in now." Selit turned and came out, followed by two men in black tuxedos shortly after him.

"Sultan of Saliman, it's an honor to meet you." Henry bowed respectfully to Saliman.

Not long after returning to France from Qingzhou, he received a new assignment to Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire.

And the absurd reason he was sent here was that he had been to the Chinese Empire and was able to describe this eastern empire more clearly to the Ottoman Empire.

But in Henry's view, this is of no use to this diplomatic operation, and what the Ottoman Empire needs are practical interests.

"You are the messenger from France?" There was a hint of intimidation in Saliman's voice. In fact, compared to the Eastern Empire, he is now more wary of Europe, because Istanbul is known as the throat of Europe and Central Asia.

In the most glorious period of the Ottoman Empire, the territory of the Ottoman Empire once crossed Istanbul, and even included Greece and Venice, but now they have lost all the territory of Europe because of the lost price of the European war.

"Exactly. My name is Henry."

Saliman asked directly: "Salit said you are willing to return the Peloponnese to us?"

"With our mediation, this is possible, but it requires the Sudan and us to jointly deal with the crisis from the east." Henry replied, sometimes diplomatic negotiations are so simple and straightforward, and he doesn't like to be long-winded.

Saliman showed a sharp look. For three hundred years, the Peloponnese peninsula where Greece is located has been under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, but ten years ago, with the support of European countries, Greece launched a war of independence The frenzy, with the support of European powers, the Greeks obtained a large number of advanced firearms, although the war of independence was suppressed, but the Ottoman Empire, which was backward in firearms, eventually lost the war, freeing Greece from their rule.

However, he believed that as long as the European countries stopped interfering in Greece's war of independence, he would retake Greece, so that he could regain the prestige he lost because of the war.

"Crisis from the East?" Saliman rolled his eyes, feeling that an era of both sides was approaching again.

With a weird smile on his lips, Saliman said, "Are you talking about the Chinese Empire in the East? It is said that this newly-rising Eastern Empire is very powerful, and we don't want to cause trouble ourselves."

Henry sneered in his heart, he knew there would be this outcome, so he said: "If the sultan can deal with the expansion of the Eastern Empire with us, in addition to supporting your country to regain the Peloponnesian Peninsula, we will also do something to the Tsarist Russia. pressure to get them to give up their ambitions in Crimea, the combined size of these two pieces of land is not small.”

This time Saliman was tempted. Compared with the Peloponnese in southern Greece, he cared more about the Black Sea outlet of Crimea, and Tsarist Russia’s ambitions for Crimea were also based on the Black Sea outlet.

"We won't do stupid things because of your few words. You won't get any response until the Peloponnese doesn't return to the Ottoman Empire, and Russia doesn't withdraw from Crimea." Surrey Mann said slyly.

Before coming, Henry had already obtained enough authorization, he said: "Sultan Salman, we are very sincere, if you agree, please send envoys to Greece, England, Spain, Holland, Portugal, Tsarist Russia, and France will send envoys along with them. Come, here we will sign a specific treaty, and you will get the results you want."

Saliman raised his brows and said, "This is the most perfect plan. I will send my son to Greece to sign the treaty. If I get what I want, I will definitely let you get what you want. ."

"I hope the signing of the treaty will go smoothly." Henry saluted again and left the palace with Saliman's permission.

Henry's figure disappeared, and Saliman said to Celit at this time: "Go and collect all the information about the Chinese Empire immediately. The Europeans are willing to exchange our support at such a high price. They must have encountered a serious crisis. We can't act recklessly until we figure it out."

Selit answered yes and turned to leave.
