Kolluru Pasha was scheming and attached great importance to his own safety, so he sent someone into the conspiracy group in advance, and after mastering the relevant clues, he was ready to turn the game in one fell swoop.

The commander of the Praetorian Guard, the Armeni, was loyal to the Empress Dowager and the Sultan, following the instructions of the Empress Dowager instead of listening to Moreau, and cooperating with Koprülu Pasha to conspire to resolve the group.

Kollur Pasha took the opportunity to arrest the opposition, arrest people everywhere, hold them accountable, seize their homes, and put some wealth into the shriveled treasury to enrich it.

The streets of Istanbul are full of soldiers, arresting people every day.

In the midst of panic, the exact news of Ihsan Pasha's defeat reached the imperial capital, and it was learned that the messenger was chased by wolves and caused the letter to be slow, which caused such a big storm in the imperial capital.

At this time, the imperial capital fell into the iron-fisted rule of Koplulu Pasha, so that after such a big defeat, there were few calls for him to be held accountable.

The ruling trio, the three viziers, Koprülu Pasha, Asim Pasha, and Harun Pasha, consulted first, and Koprülu Pasha asked the clerk to read the letter of the front commander, Ihasan Pasha.

In the letter, Ihasan Pasha took the main responsibility, saying that the soldiers fought very valiantly, fighting a strong enemy with great courage, not because our army did not work hard, but because the infidels were too cunning!

The infidels did not dare to fight face to face with our army, relying purely on muskets, and unlike the war in Europe, they were numerous!

It is true that in the war in Europe, the Europeans also used muskets, but the army of the Ottoman Empire was outnumbered and swarmed up, and there was always a chance to fight hand-to-hand, after all, the Europeans did not have machine guns!

The situation was very different when the muskets were used in large numbers, and the muskets were so powerful that the pagan army defeated the valiant Ottoman army.

Ihasan Pasha said that he took responsibility, if the court wanted to punish him, he was willing to accept it, asked not to send him back to Istanbul, he was willing to join the death squad, die on the battlefield, and be with the loyal soldiers of the empire!

At the same time, he also gave a way to deal with the Chinese army, he believed that as the Chinese army advanced, more men and more guns would have an advantage, but their supply would be a big problem.

Food is eaten by people and horses, guns and ammunition need to be replenished, and the farther the distance, the more difficult it is to replenish.

Our army should not fight a decisive battle with the enemy, but should defend with fortified cities and deep ditches and thick fortifications, and greatly deplete the enemy's powerful forces.

Every inch of land counts!

Lives for lives, I believe that we Ottomans will be able to do it, and when the time is ripe, our army will switch to a counteroffensive and win!

In addition to this, there is also a seal, which is the report of Humamu Pasha, who served in the army, saying that he has relied on the fortified city of Apoll to contain the attacks of the infidels, and has achieved certain results, and is confident that he will hold Apoll, and he agrees with Ihasan Pasha's strategy, that is, to hold the counterattack steadily, and there is a great possibility of victory.

"What do you think, two distinguished colleagues?" Koprulu Pasha asked.

Harlan Pasha mused, "Ihasan Pasha lost the battle and needed to be punished, but he fought bravely, fearless of strong enemies, and had a commendable spirit, and thought of a way to deal with the enemy......"

"I wonder what the two adults think about this?"

After saying this, he immediately closed his mouth and looked at the two viziers with blazing eyes.

Thinking that he was really good at talking, and having finished what he wanted to say, Asim Pasha reluctantly proposed: "Demote him as a punishment, and keep him in office as a punishment!" ”

"Excellent! Do it! Koprulu Pasha said with a final word.

"But what more do we have to do to win?" He asked again.

The three viziers drew up some statutes and immediately went to the palace to see the Queen Mother and the Sultan and report on their responses.

"Ihasan Pasha should be relieved of his post while he continues to preside over the war against the infidels and agree to his plan of battle." This is one of them.

The second is to strictly control all localities, grant authority to the garrisons in various localities, and if there is any change, they will be suppressed immediately, and you will not be polite!

This is to deal with those who have two hearts, to ensure that the empire does not break.

Third, in the economic aspect, we should strictly control prices to avoid affecting people's lives due to war, and the price of materials cannot be raised without the consent of the government, otherwise we will be severely punished!

In particular, those lawbreakers who dare to smuggle infidel goods are the targets of severe crackdowns.

The fourth is to organize and train a new army, and in the name of holy warfare, conscription is carried out in various places.

Fifth, it is widely publicized that the people should resolutely deal with the infidels, and those who cooperate with the infidels will raid their homes and destroy their homes, so that they can get the fate they deserve.

The sixth is to call on the congregation to donate money and raise funds to help the army.

……

Duchen Hattijie happily approved all the decisions and let the three vizier organizations implement them.

They launched a vigorous operation, openly collecting donations and conscripting troops in front of the Grand Bazaar, the most prosperous in Istanbul.

The Grand Bazaar in the Old City is not only the largest indoor bazaar in Istanbul, but also one of the largest in the world, with more than 2,000 shops and dozens of streets.

The officials of the government are desperately urging the people to have money and money, and to make a strong contribution to the Holy War and to exterminate the infidels!

I have to say that the connotation of the Ottoman Empire is profound, and they are different from the incomparable resentment of a certain emperor hanging on a tree in the Great Ming Dynasty against the first and auxiliary ministers and his subjects who were only willing to give five hundred taels of silver, and the Grand Vizier Koplulu Pasha donated one million silver dollars!

This is almost half of his family property, and he also promised to donate 1 million after the victory, which means that he really put the country before his family.

The rest of the ministers were not willing to lag behind, and some of them even borrowed money to donate.

The Sultan donated 2,000,000 silver dollars, and his mother 1,500,000 silver dollars, both personal assets.

As a result, Istanbul alone collected 16 million silver dollars, and at the same time, the people rushed to sign up for the war in front of the various recruitment points, the holy battle slogans resounded in the sky, and everywhere people shouted religious slogans, people marched to send their children to the army, and the atmosphere of the battle was fully mobilized.

And the rest of the cities also launched a vigorous donation and enlistment activities, generally active, all walks of life participated, those who had money paid, those who did not have money joined the army, many people who were both rich and powerful joined the army, especially the children of the powerful, they simply refused to lag behind, and the proportion of people who joined the army was higher than that of the people.

Some poor people, they donated every child they had.

Donate money and materials everywhere, and join the army in full swing.

There are no lawbreakers who take advantage of the fire to rob and raise prices, otherwise, without the government to punish them, the angry people will let them taste the power of the Holy War Iron Fist first, and it is not illegal to kill them!

In the past, there were still some staunch patriots, but the rise to power of Kopluru Pasha effectively suppressed them, and they had to pretend to do the same.

So, even with the interruption of trade, the scarcity of goods, and the decline in the standard of living, the cohesion of the Ottomans increased, and they struck a blow at the invading enemy!
