Chapter 483 Who is the master of ups and downs

Suleiman's mood was also so good because of the French ambassador's wholehearted flattery that he rarely appointed two ladies to serve him together.

One is from Transylvani and the other is from Danzig.

Well, Hungary and Poland, aren’t these very suitable for the current environment?

But this time, I would like to ask Your Excellency the Ambassador to take care of the French beauty. Although the daughter of a great nobleman is definitely not willing to accept polygamy, Suleiman doesn't care about this at first. The difference between the backgrounds of the nobles and civilians in Europe is not important to me.

Who was in the greatest harem of the Ottoman Empire?

The Ottoman harem did not pay attention to family background.

As long as you have outstanding looks, there is no problem at all if you are from a civilian background.

Or should I go to Austria and try the German beauty myself?

That Shaoborayi who is eager to become king is not worth mentioning at all. So what if he has the support of the Holy See?

Suleiman also believed that the only enemy of his westward movement to rule Europe was the Habsburg family.

However, Spain's power cannot be projected so quickly. Our own think tank has studied it for a long time before dispatching troops. It is not a simple task for the Spanish navy to gather in the east and west seas. There is no need to worry about it until at least the turn of next summer and autumn.

The trouble now is limited to Austria. Try to destroy this small Grand Duchy before the Spanish fleet feels it.

Although you are proud of your strength, if you give up every opportunity to defeat it, it would be arrogance rather than confidence.

Suleiman has always been a confident rather than arrogant person.

At first, looking at the Austrian army's quick and decisive victory, I thought that Ladislaus Habsburg would be a little stronger than Louis II.

But the subsequent response was also very problematic in Suleiman's opinion.

The first division of troops to occupy those secondary strongholds such as Tautabanio and Szekesfeherr Castle is a typical meaningless division of troops. Even if the number of troops invested is small, it will deepen Austria's already considerable military disadvantage.

After the decisive battle, the winner of these fortresses can be decided by public announcement.

Even if there are a few tough guys who still refuse to surrender, it will definitely be difficult to withstand the overwhelming momentum of the main force.

There is also the slow hand in the battle for Buda.

Although we failed to capture Buda, now that we are here, we should take advantage of our army's long journey and start a decisive battle around Buda before our army has a stable foothold. Wouldn't retreating northward in this way damage the morale of the army, and wait until the Ottoman army is here?

The situation was stabilized and Buda was established as a complete forward base. The Austrians had no chance.

It is difficult for small Austria to afford such a large army for a long time, right? Or is it waiting for reinforcements from the Poles?

Like Ladislaus, the variable Suleiman was most worried about was the Polish-Lithuanian union in the north.

Suleiman was very clear about the conflict and origins between the Habsburgs and the Jaglonids. The death of Louis II was really a good thing. If he had not died, such conflicts would not have been triggered. If all parties in Europe united to

The Crusaders are quite troublesome.

Now the conflict between them has become very serious.

The conflict between them over the Hungarian throne is not so easy to mediate. But it doesn't matter, even if Austria and Poland really form a joint force, the military advantage will still be on our side.

Since the death of Tamerlane, our Ottoman Empire has not lost in an upright battle.

Even Tamerlane only narrowly defeated the Ottoman army in the Battle of Ankara after he had experienced hundreds of battles and reached the peak of his commanding skills.

That Ladislaus is definitely not as good as Timur in his heyday.

What's more, although Timur won for a while, where is his empire now?

But my ancestors rose from the trough and eventually not only recovered all the lost territory but also conquered the Eternal City and renamed it Istanbul.

After occupying all of Hungary, Austria, then Poland, and the Holy Roman Empire must be made to give up the title of emperor. What kind of inexplicable electoral system is this? What kind of emperor is this?

Only our Ottoman family is the unique and noble royal family in this plane!

Servant of Mecca and Medina, Protector of the Noble Haram of Jerusalem, Successor of the Roman Empire.

The next step is to have the King of France come to Istanbul every year for an audience, just like the monarchs of Varania and Moldavia.

Whether Spain fought all the way overland or landed from the Mediterranean is an issue that needs careful study.

We Ottomans are destined to be the hegemons of the world, let’s start with Europa!

Pressing on the Hungarian beauty, he held the Polish beauty diagonally with one arm. While Suleiman was galloping over the woman, he was thinking about his great conquest of Europe.

............................

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Suleiman the Magnificent, who fell into a deep sleep due to being too excited to work, was awakened by the eunuch's shrill voice.

Although this old man was a eunuch, he had served three generations of sultans and was an old minister of the Ottoman Empire.

He is also a very good spellcaster, and as Suleiman's chief steward, he rarely loses his temper.

"Your Majesty, the enemy is attacking our dock." It's no wonder that, although he has followed three generations of sultans on expeditions, he has not woken up his monarch overnight to express urgency for many years.

However, although he was somewhat nervous, he still did not forget the work he had to do. As he spoke, he handed Suleiman a hot towel.

Taking the Ankara velvet towel from the chief steward's hand and wiping it vigorously a few times, Suleiman's brain regained its ability to think.

The sky is dim and the sun has risen.

The beauties of Hungary and Poland clothed Suleiman naked. Anyway, after the French ambassador left, there was no second able-bodied man in the entire Hungarian palace.

"The dock area was attacked? The enemy came up from the Danube River?" In just one sentence, Suleiman found the key to the problem. He was still very confident in the land defense of his army.

After receiving a positive answer from the chief steward, Suleiman took a look at the sky through the window. It was the longest day of the day, but the sky had only just cleared up.

As he stood up, he asked: "How long has it been since the fighting started?"

"Less than half an hour." The Ottomans delivered information extremely quickly. There was only half an hour's time difference from the dock to the city, which was already extremely efficient.

At this time, the second wave of messengers arrived, bringing the latest information.

"The enemy has at least ten to fifteen warships, half of which are large sail-oar combined ships, and half are medium-sized sail-oar combined ships. Their main weapons are giant crossbows and only a few trebuchets. Our dock defenders have deployed trebuchets.

Counterattack." What Ottoman deployed in the dock area was just a small trebuchet.

Although the Hungarians were in chaos, they still knew that the trebuchets guarding the city could not be left to the enemy. After Duke Horthy decided to abandon the defense of Buda, he even destroyed the trebuchets on the top of Buda.

The Ottoman trebuchets were transported by them through the Danube River.

"This is the winning hand of the Vienna monarch." Although the report was not urgent, Suleiman was keenly aware of the problem. "It was also the intelligence of the troops on the dock, why the transport fleet stationed in the temporary camp never sent an envoy.

"

Of course, friendly troops should report when they encounter enemies, but shouldn't they send out envoys as soon as possible if they encounter enemies themselves?

Even if the communication on the water is more complicated, the delay should be rewarded anyway.

"Has the fleet been defeated?! This is unlikely." The chief manager became nervous.

"The enemy was able to complete the assembly and formation in the night, and immediately approached our water camp after the sun rose. This is a truly powerful enemy. The enemy sabotaged the dock and ordered all units to enter a state of combat readiness to alert the enemy's main force to launch an attack."

Suleiman feared that this was a precursor to a full-scale Austrian attack.

When he walked out of the palace, more than three thousand new Yenisei troops had been assembled.
