The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 1515: After the armistice of the two countries

The main contents of the agreement between the two countries are:

1. The Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Venice ended the hostile relationship between the two countries. The two countries were out of fighting. The Turks recognized the Republic of Venice’s control over the islands actually controlled in the Aegean Sea.

2. The Ottoman Empire withdrew all its troops from Crete, and the Republic of Venice returned all the land and islands occupied by the Ottoman Empire to the Ottoman Empire.

3. The Republic of Venice provided the Ottoman Empire with Durant gold coins worth 3 million Spanish silver dollars as a commercial loan with a repayment period of 20 years.

4. The two countries resumed normal economic and trade relations. The Ottoman Empire opened ten coastal cities to trade with the Republic of Venice, including the port of the Khanate of Kashmir.

...

In the third article of the agreement, the Ottoman Empire received a commercial loan of up to three million Spanish silver dollars, which actually did not need to be repaid. This is a secret agreement.

The tiger-wolf Turks refused to retreat even if they were in a depressed situation but did not benefit, and even the lion opened his mouth wide, and one mouth was a reparation of 10 million silver dollars!

On the contrary, the Republic of Venice had to send the indemnity politely, and even did not dare to take it big. The Turks' horror is evident.

Under his struggle, the two sides traded for three million silver dollars.

However, for the sake of good reputation, it is written in the treaty as a commercial loan.

Gregory sent the agreement document to Venice with a clipper, and it was approved soon.

Nikita Johnson, the President of the Republic of Venice at the time, convened a State Council, and the participants agreed that this was a good agreement!

Now that the war has been fought, the Republic of Venice has been unable to do what it wants. It is all right to get out of it, and it can't take care of anything.

Moreover, it is not a thing to be able to settle things with money. Don't look at the bleeding of 3 million silver dollars now, but it will soon be able to make up for the profits from the trade with Turkey, and even the capital and profits will be recovered!

Soon, the peace agreement signed by the president was sent back to Istanbul, and it came into effect after being used by the Ottoman Sultan, thus ending the Ten War between the two countries.

In this long ten-year war, the Venetians paid more than 50,000 human casualties, which was an unbearable pain for a small country. There was also a war cost of more than 50 million Ducats and hollowed out the Republic. The national treasury, for the sake of war, civil taxation, and donations from the people, for the trade-based Venice, the money is exhausted and there will be no liquid funds!

But not only the little Venice suffered, but the huge Ottoman Empire paid an unimaginably expensive price for it: more than 200,000 manpower wasted, more than 600 ships were sunk or captured, and the coastal provinces were full. Affected by the Venetian fleet, trade, industry and commerce were shut down, and the treasury faced a never-ending fiscal black hole.

The Ottoman Empire looks glamorous on the surface. In fact, because the enemy has over one hundred million---the Chinese are more than one hundred million people, the wars are constant, the rich and the rich are desperate for extravagance, so that the poor and the national treasury is empty like a drum!

The cost is huge, but the point is that the war is not worth it!

The cause of the war between the two countries is very ridiculous. One day in September 1644, the Knights of Hospitals on the island of Malta raided a Turkish Royal Fleet and captured 300 Turkish nobles and 30 Sultan Ibrahim I. Hou-maids, those people are going to take part in the pilgrimage to Mecca.

However, the Knights of Malta did not know the identity of the captives, and drove the ship to the nearest supply port under the control of the Christian forces, that is, the island of Crete under the control of the Venetians, and auctioned the captives into slaves after reaching the port.

The Knights of the Hospital were the men of the Crusades. They fought against the Green Church in the holy city of Jerusalem. They later retreated to Cyprus and then retreated to Malta to stay. The island of Malta had little production. The requirements of the conditions have joined the lucrative market of "Mediterranean Pirates". For a long time, there has been a small and sophisticated navy privateer fleet to subsidize the family by attacking the ships of the Green Cult.

The wives and concubines were taken away, the emperor of the country made a cuckold tortoise-the father, and the Sultan of Ibrahim I was furious and launched a war against the Venetians. The problem is that he got the wrong object. The Venetians have been doing things with the Ottoman Empire. Business, to give them money, and with so much military expenditure, it is better to attack Austria on land, which is more profitable!

Naval warfare is not the specialty of the Ottoman Empire. It can be called the wrong war with the wrong enemy at the wrong time and in the wrong place.

With the armistice between the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Venice, the trade began to flourish immediately. The most active of these was the Camacho family. This family once severely accused the old Coplulu of traitorous and dereliction of duty. He was a traitor and clamored not to kill Daweizi. It is not enough for the common people to be angry, claiming that the enmity between our country and Venice is unsolvable, and that Crete will be destroyed and the Venetians will be slaughtered before we can stop!

After the armistice, this family actively cooperated with the Venetians to make money together. Those Venetians became the guests of his family, it is really speechless!

More than the Camacho family, there are several families who embarrassed the old Coplulu the most. They scrambled to find the Venetians to cooperate, and they were ugly enough to eat.

Little Coplulu is so angry that he feels injustice for his father, while the old Coplulu graciously said: "Developing trade, improving the country's economic capacity, and increasing taxation are worth encouraging!"

He was scolded by himself and said with magnanimity: "We have resolved this war and it is a huge victory. I have no time to care about them. We unite everyone and concentrate our efforts to deal with the Chinese. They are our great. enemy!"

So I didn't make any embarrassment. Everyone said that the virtues of the Great Vizier, the magnanimity is rare in the world!

...

Let's say that an agreement was reached, the Ottoman Empire carried out a strategic contraction, and Vizier Subha Pasha crossed the strait and went to Europe to preside over the retreat of the army.

The main force is withdrawn, but the place will not be lost and will stick to it.

If you don't use this set and lose your ancestral land, no one can bear this charge.

There is a tricky part, and that is to retreat the troops from Crete.

There are 50,000 soldiers on the island ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ 50,000 auxiliary soldiers. The complete retreat of this unit is the top priority.

The old Copley Ruth repeatedly invited Vizier Idris Pasha to withdraw troops from Crete.

Idris Pasha was ordered to take some Gold Durant, board the Clippers, and head to Crete.

After arriving in Sekanea, the port city of northern Crete, the local governor Musimini Rashid Pasha led his army to greet him. After meeting him, Rashid Pasha was quite annoyed and said: "The Venetian Said that His Majesty Sultan has negotiated with them, and we want to retreat?"

Rasheed Pasha Xingwu was born with a strong body and a loud voice. The officer behind him also looked at Master Vizier with a bad face!

Idriss Pasha is so scheming and decisive: "No such thing!"

He told Rasheed Pasha: "The official came to quell the rumors, and there is no talk of peace with the Venetians. At the same time, the official must supervise the battle and attack the Venetians!"

All the officers are overjoyed!
