Zhu Jingyuan asked Osman to break away from the anti-Ming alliance.

Grand Vizier Zayedin, the representative of the Ottomans, had already thought about it all, so now he nodded lightly:

"The time when Osman and the Ming Dynasty concluded the treaty was when Osman officially broke away from the anti-Ming alliance."

Representatives from several other Thai and Western countries subconsciously wanted to stop it.

Osman's departure from the anti-Ming alliance seemed to be Osman's own business, but it symbolized the beginning of the disintegration of the anti-Ming alliance.

For representatives who want to maintain the alliance, of course they must find ways to stop it, if possible...

The first to speak was French Foreign Minister Talleyrand:

"Please wait a moment, Grand Vizier, do you understand the consequences of signing a contract with Ming Dynasty alone?"

Zayadin responded without hesitation:

“Ottoman understood that signing a separate contract meant that Ming could tear up the peace treaty with Osman alone.

“However, joining the anti-Ming alliance for so many years failed to help the Ottomans retain the land in the south.

“Ottoman referred to the peace treaty between Ming Dynasty and Lucia and finally decided to believe in Ming Dynasty’s promise.

"The Ottomans need to end the war as soon as possible, settle down and resume production as soon as possible."

Talleyrand understood Ottoman's attitude instantly.

Since you Taixi don’t want to help Osman fight the Ming Dynasty, then don’t stop Osman from jumping ship alone.

You Texi don’t want to fight, and we Osman don’t want to fight either.

Talleyrand and Pitt continued to persuade, but they could not find any good reasons.

The key is that Osman has already decided to leave, and the two people's unconfident persuasion is of no use at all, and in the end they get a few ridicules.

"We, Osman, have accepted your suggestions and all of Ming's requirements. Now it's time to see how you sign the contract."

The representatives of Britain and France were speechless.

I went to persuade Osman to accept Daming's request before, but now I want to ask Osman not to jump out of the car alone, which is not convincing at all.

Among all the member states of the Anti-Ming Alliance, Ottoman was originally the most special one.

The Ottomans did not participate in the battles in other areas at all, and did their best to simply resist the Ming's attack in their own country.

The Ottomans were already fighting against the Ming Dynasty before the Anti-Ming Alliance was established.

When the Anti-Ming Alliance was established, Osman was not a member of the alliance.

After the Anti-Ming Alliance declared war with the Ming Dynasty, Osman was brought into the alliance.

Although the Ottomans controlled a large amount of European territory, their cultural beliefs were not a Taishi country at all, but a Dashi or Anxi country.

The relationship between the Ottomans and the Western countries was not very good, and it could be considered a feud with Lucia and Austria.

Osman also knew that Ming's negotiations with Britain, France, Lucia, Spain and Portugal would definitely be difficult.

Now that Osman has paid the price and obtained a separate peace commitment as long as possible, it is natural for him to sign a separate contract with Ming Dynasty in advance.

Instead of continuing to be entangled with the European and American countries.

Countries in Europe and the West also understood these logics, so they quickly gave up persuading them.

In this way, Osman basically surrendered unilaterally, and Ming Dynasty's strategic goals in the Great Qinhai were basically achieved.

From the Mesopotamia and Mesopotamia to the west bank of the Great Qin Sea, the Fertile Crescent, the cradle of ancient human civilization, has now completely fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Another cradle of human civilization, the Egyptian region downstream of the Nile River also became a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, China, Tianzhu, Babylon, and Egypt, the four cradles of classical human civilization, were all controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

It was also the first time that the Ming Dynasty achieved its strategic goals by using diplomacy as its main force instead of war.

It can be regarded as an unprecedented diplomatic victory.

This made Zhu Jingyuan feel very good.

After capturing the Crescent Zone, the entire Dashi Peninsula in the south was in the Ming Dynasty's possession.

Those local separatist forces and the remaining Ottoman client organizations will soon be wiped out.

The southern region of Egypt, as well as the entire two sides of the Red Sea, will soon be the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Red Sea will also become the inland sea of ​​the Ming Dynasty.

In the future, the entire east coast of Mozhou will also become the land of the Ming Dynasty.

From now on, along the entire Little Western Coast, only the southern part of Tianzhu will be under the influence of other countries.

How to deal with the issue in southern Tianzhu will be a big difficulty for the British.

It is not the difficulty of Ming Dynasty, because it is completely surrounded by Ming Dynasty.

It will be absolutely impossible for Tianzhu to be able to defend itself until the next war.

As long as the communication lines are simply destroyed, the British will be unable to contact Southern Tianzhu.

Nan Tianzhu was the "hostage" that the Ming Dynasty took to hold the British.

After the Ming Dynasty occupied northern Tianzhu and Nanmozhou, it did not exchange colonies with the British who occupied southern Tianzhu. Instead, it continued to develop around Xiaoxiyang. This was the reason for this situation.

So that is the difficulty of the British, not the difficulty of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, except for the northwest border, most of the other areas in Persia are already within the Ming camp.

It no longer has much practical significance for Persia to remain an independent country, so it should be accepted as a vassal.

From now on, the buffer between Ming Dynasty and Taixi will be Ottoman.

From now on, Daming will start to take care of Lucia himself.

The next negotiation is mainly with Lucia, but that is not today's matter.

Next, Ming Dynasty and Osman determined more details and signed a relatively formal memorandum.

The signing will be formalized after the formal agreement text is completed.

After the meeting that day, relevant news was sent back to the rear of various countries as quickly as possible.

The news that Osman was about to surrender had already spread before the meeting started.

However, the confirmation process at the formal meeting is still very important. Once the results are clear, they can be made public to the public.

Officials from Honglu Temple, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, received the news and immediately ran to report Zhu Jianyan.

Zhu Jianyan took the telegraph newspaper and read it several times with a smile on his face, and then handed it to the people around him:

"Publish it in the newspaper immediately! Tomorrow morning's newspaper must have all the papers! I'll tell my father!"

After the telegram was passed on, there were cheers in the Cabinet Office.

Since this year, the actual war has basically stopped, but it has gradually turned from a disadvantage into a draw, and from a draw into a victory.

This strange feeling has never appeared in the past Ming Dynasty.

In the past, it was just a matter of annexing or driving away the enemy. A relatively casual treaty might be signed, but there was no such careful negotiation.

I didn't seriously consider that just by pacing around on the negotiation table, I could force the Westerners to admit defeat.

They had never exerted the diplomatic power that Ming Dynasty should have before.

It’s not that I can’t, it’s that I don’t need it at all.

This was the first time that a near draw was achieved in a foreign war.

Zhu Jianyan walked briskly and went next door to find the old emperor and briefly explained the official news he had received.

The old emperor was already mentally prepared. After listening, he smiled and nodded gently:

"This result can be attributed to Jingyuan, but Osman is not actually the focus. The focus is still on Lucia's side.

"The outcome of the negotiations on Lucia will determine whether this is a twenty-year truce or a real peace.

"But a twenty-year armistice should be exactly what that kid wants.

"Otherwise, would his weapons have been prepared in vain?"

The smile on Zhu Jianyan's face was slightly stiff. He had just skipped over himself in the past twenty years:

"hehe……"

The old emperor thought about it again and reminded him more seriously:

"If he really wants a 20-year truce, he would just let go of the vassalization of Khiva and Kazakhstan until the negotiations are over.

"It is impossible for Lucia to completely abandon the east of the Urals or the east of the Yenisei River by any means now.

“During the peace talks, the Lucians may act impulsively and engage in another fight with the Ming Dynasty as members of the anti-Ming alliance.

“But after the armistice agreement is signed, they will never dare to unilaterally declare war on Ming Dynasty.

"At that time, we can be free to build forward bases around the Caspian Sea and extend the railway directly to the Ural River area.

"When the armistice agreement period comes and the troops move north from the Caspian Sea, the east of the Urals will be ours."

Zhu Jianyan opened his mouth, and many thoughts came to his mind. However, this incident happened twenty years later, and it seemed that it had nothing to do with him anymore:
To be continued...
