Eight hundred and seventieth chapters Safavid Empire and Ottoman Empire seeking the moon
To Mu Tianbo's surprise, the Yunnan chieftains who had never given in favor actually took the initiative to show goodwill to him, hoping to negotiate peace.
This made Mu Tianbo, who had already decided to start the war, have other ideas in an instant.
It is naturally excellent if unnecessary battles can be avoided.
After all, the Ming Dynasty could not withstand the battle on the third line, which consumed too much food and grass resources.
In fact, Mu Tianbo is a very pragmatic person. If there is a better solution, he will definitely not choose force.
The people behind these rebel heads, who are the instigators from Myanmar, are Mu Tianbo who will fight against them no matter what.
The Ming Dynasty absolutely does not allow the existence of those who offend the power of the heaven.
Therefore, Mu Tianbo immediately sent an envoy to negotiate with these rebel chieftains. As long as these chieftains are sincere, Mu Tianbo can assure them that they will not be punished too seriously.
This is already the most ideal promise that Mu Tianbo can give. No matter how much it is, it is not something that he can promise at his level, but it depends on His Majesty the Emperor to open his mouth.
In early May of the 18th year of Yongli, Sengge Khan led his troops to escape, crossed the Pamir Plateau and headed straight westward.
Because shortly after Junggar's defeat, Hoshuot, Kazakhstan and Bukhara Khanate surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty naturally unified the Western Regions.
Although these places can only be regarded as ruling, they have regarded the Ming Dynasty as the truth and recognized their vassal states. Then they will never take in the monks wanted by the Ming Dynasty.
Now that Sengge has no place to settle in the Western Regions, he can only continue to flee westward.
And at this moment, there are only two choices in front of the monk.
One is to defect to the Safi Empire, and the other is to seek refuge in the Ottoman Empire.
Since the collapse of the Great Food Empire, the huge empire has gradually been divided up by the Ottoman Empire and the Safi Empire, and some small countries in the river area can only swing between these two empires to survive.
Sengge only had a few thousand remaining soldiers, so he did not have much bargaining power.
At this moment, the ruler of the Ottoman Empire was Mohammed IV, and at this moment, the ruler of the Safi Empire was Abbas II.
Sengge has a certain contact with both, but neither of them is very familiar with them.
But he knew that Sultan Muhammad IV of the Ottoman Empire now prefers to fight and expand, which is in line with Sengge's intentions.
He still wanted to fight back to take revenge. If he could encourage the Ottoman Empire to use troops into the river, perhaps he would be able to take revenge.
As for Abbas II of the Safi Empire, he seemed to be more keen on developing internal affairs and economy, which was inconsistent with Sengge's proposal. In other words, if Sengge went to the Safi Empire, he would at most have a place to settle down. Abbas II should not be instigated by Sengge.
After some consideration, Sengge finally chose to surrender to the Ottoman Empire.
From that moment, he swore that as long as he had a chance, he would lead his troops to fight back and defeat the Ming army and take revenge.
Capital, Forbidden City.
Zhu Youlang received two reports in succession.
One was sent from Yunnan. Mu Tianbo wrote in his memorial that the rebellious chieftains in Yunnan had already wavered. They were defeated by Mu Tianbo and gave up resistance and accepted the rule of the Ming Dynasty again.
This made Zhu Youlang feel very pleased. Mu Tianbo still has some ability.
No matter how he settled it, it would be good if the rebellion was put down.
Nowadays, Daqing really cannot withstand the three-line battles at the same time.
As for the Burmese king mentioned in Mu Tianbo's memorial, Zhu Youlang also knew it very well.
Among the Southeast Asian countries, Myanmar's attitude towards the Ming Dynasty was the most ambiguous, and he was dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty from the bottom of his heart.
If Zhu Youlang had not unified the world, the Burmese king would have made more fuss now.
So Zhu Youlang decided to issue an imperial edict and ordered Mu Tianbo to continue to stay in Yunnan.
On the one hand, it is to shock the chieftains, and on the other hand, it is also to prepare for the future conquest of Myanmar.
If these restless guys don't teach a lesson, they won't know that the world is high.
Of course, the expedition is not now.
Zhu Youlang's attention is now restoring the Silk Road.
This involves the second memorial.
This second memorial was sent by Li Dingguo from the Western Regions.
In the memorial, Li Dingguo clearly stated that the entire Western Regions have now been included in the Ming Dynasty. After the Yarkand and Junggar were defeated one after another, Khshuot, Kazakhstan and Bukhara Khanate saw that the situation was not good, they agreed to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty as vassal states.
Although this is a little more frustrating, he is still alive. If he doesn't know that the world is as strong as the Junggar and Yarkand provoke the Ming Dynasty, the consequences will be extremely bleak.
However, Li Dingguo also bluntly mentioned the fact that Sengge escaped. This is a big regret.
But Zhu Youlang was actually very satisfied. In less than two years, Li Dingguo was able to impose the Western Regions countries, and he was worthy of being the God of War in the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, after pacifying the Western Regions, the problems facing the Ming Dynasty became much clearer.
The Kazakhstan and the Bukhara Khanate actually ruled the Hezhong region, such as Talas back then, under the rule of the Kazakh Khanate.
It can be said that the Hezhong region has been the intermediate buffer zone between West Asia and the Western Regions since ancient times.
Back then, the Great Food Empire was at its peak. If it wanted to continue to expand eastward, it sent troops from Damascus to the river, hoping to establish a governor here.
As for the Tang Empire, it was naturally very strong.
At that time, Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji, also realized the importance of the river, so he ordered Gao Xianzhi to lead the main force to set out from Anxi to march into the river.
The two empires in the East and the West fought decisively in the river due to their interests and expansion. Unfortunately, the Tang Dynasty failed and eventually lost control of the river.
Because of the later Anshi Rebellion, the Tang army even weakened its control over the Western Regions.
After that, the Central Plains dynasty was almost unable to control the Western Regions.
Now the Ming army firmly controls the Western Regions, and the Kazakhstan and Bukhara Khanate in the Hezhong region have also surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and become vassal states of the Ming Dynasty.
From this perspective, the Ming army should be able to solve the problem of the supply line and can continue to look west without any scruples.
Going westward in the river, there are two powerful empires mixed between Europa and the Ming Dynasty.
One is the Safi Empire, which represents Persian civilization, and the other is the Ottoman Empire, which spans Europe, Asia and Africa, which replaced the Great Food Empire.
Zhu Youlang knew that the monarchs of the two empires are very young now, among which Abbas II was the seventh Shah of the Safi Empire. He inherited the throne less than ten years old. Under his efforts to rule, the Safi Empire was once revived.
Now Abbas II is in his prime, and he is very powerful.
Mohammed IV was the 19th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. He was very happy to be successful and declared war on the countries of Europe a few years ago.
Among them, he defeated Venice, conquered Crete, and declared war on the Holy Roman Empire.
