Originally from Albania, Koplulu Muhammad Pasha served as a local official and a member of the central government, and he was a devout believer in all aspects of government and military affairs, humble and generous, resourceful, and highly respected.

As the Grand Vizier, he is full of words, and what he says will cause controversy if it is said by others, but for him, even if someone is dissatisfied, his decision cannot be shaken.

The meeting of the day quickly cut through the chaos and carried out a series of personnel appointments and dismissals, including the reorganization of the vizier sequence, the adjustment of central officials, and the adjustment of local officials, all under the leadership of the new Grand Vizier.

Koprulu Pasha was a radical conservative enforcer who sought to restore central power and the military power of the empire, calling for the mobilization of the entire empire to defeat the Chinese and drive them out of the Ottoman Empire!

The most important thing is to issue a decree to the entire empire, declaring the southeastern kingdom to be the enemy of God, calling for holy war, and sanctioning the infidels!

The strength of everyone is so mobilized that no one can take it lightly, otherwise it will be a betrayal!

The second important decree was the appointment and dismissal of personnel, among which the name of the Grand Vizier Kopluru Pasha was particularly eye-catching, because he presided over the military and political affairs of the Ottoman Empire!

This is also exciting news, which indicates that after a long period of female rule, even if the Sultan does not have a personal ruler, the military and political affairs of the country are managed by capable and loyal ministers, and the time is coming for the Grand Vizier to govern the affairs of the empire!

It was decided that Humamu Pasha would quickly go to Antioch to organize defense, this city was very important, it was located north of Damascus, it was the most important barrier in Asia Minor, if it was lost, the Chinese army threatened Asia Minor, this is the "land of dragon prosperity" of the Ottoman Empire, and there must be no mistakes, so after the morning meeting, Humamu Pasha rushed to Antioch in the afternoon.

His task was important, as a lieutenant marshal he organized the defense of Antioch and waited for the arrival of the general Ihasan Pasha.

Kopluru Pasha noted that he adopted the principle of active defense, that is, to defend the main city with the main force, accumulate strength, and send light cavalry to attack the logistics and supply lines of the Chinese.

"Don't seek a big victory, accumulate small victories into big victories, and fully mobilize forces from all over the world to deal with the Chinese, let's go!" Koprud Pasha said.

He didn't say anything grandiose, and Humamu Pasha walked away with a steady pace.

In fact, this task had already been given to Humamu Pasha, but at that time he was afraid to take office, fearing that this time he would be unlucky and die on the front line, which would also become an opportunity for him to participate in the overthrow of Kosem Sultan.

With Koprud Pasha as his backing, it's different, give him your back, rest assured!

Coplulu Pasha promised to expand his armaments, train new armies, and gather tribal armies, and Humamu Pasha would have enough strength to defend and attack.

Then there is the naval commander Jevard Pasha, whose mission is to attack the enemy cities on the line from Syria to Egypt, and at the same time to contact the forces of those places and Cyrenaica, Tripoli, Tunisia and Algeria to the west of Egypt, to deal with the Chinese, and to ask the tribes to regroup, not only for the sake of the empire, but for the will of God!

God's will!

You can see that the proud Jevard Pasha, in front of the Grand Vizier, is as obedient as a schoolboy, so that those army generals are so shocked that their jaws almost fall out.

The navy has always been very hanging, they belong to the big bourgeoisie, a battleship in the navy is equal to the salary of thousands of those bitter infantrymen, and heavy warships are even more than tens of thousands of salaries, even if the warships do not belong to them, as users, the infantry cannot be compared.

A hundred years of navy, naval personnel are not easy to come by, they are also proud, superior, and look down on other armies, including the elite infantry cavalry in the empire, and the artillery is treated the same, not to mention the tribal army.

Whatever Koprud Pasha said, Jevad Pasha patted his chest and didn't dare to discount it.

As everyone knows, Jevad Pasha secretly complained in his heart, his task was not easy, the navy looked down on people, and people were also not interested in them, and those tribes were unruly, and it was difficult to convince them.

No matter how difficult it is, Jevad Pasha can grass others wildly, but this old man in front of him, if he really can't move him, on the contrary, as long as he speaks, the admirals will throw him Jevad Pasha into the sea!

The great vizier's combat effectiveness is amazing, his weakened body seems to contain endless strength, and there is quite a kind of Chinese spiritual realm of "fighting with the sky, fighting with the earth, fighting with people, and having endless fun".

"Next, let's move on to the next topic, impose a trade embargo on the southeastern country, and we will never allow our silver coins to become the military expenses of the Chinese!" Koprülu Pasha is unquestionably authentic.

It's coming, it's finally here!

As if hearing the sighs of many people in the hall, Kopluru Pasha smiled slightly!

There was no objection, and his proposal became a resolution!

The Ottoman Empire's trade with the southeastern countries was quite strong, and as a large agricultural empire, the Ottoman Empire had an endless demand for goods.

In the past, the Europeans choked the sea transportation routes, and the land trade was inconvenient, the Ottoman Empire could only watch the Europeans make a lot of money, and the prices of the goods they shipped to the Ottoman Empire were struggling with the price of goods, and they were exploited by the Europeans.

The Chinese drove away the Hongmaofan in the Indian Ocean, crossed the Red Sea into Egypt, or the Persian Gulf into the two river basins, and the goods from the East continued to be imported.

The Chinese are quite good at doing business, and the goods are divided into high, medium and low grades, and the general price is not expensive, and the powerful and wealthy merchants of the Ottoman Empire have earned the difference in the middle, and they can even smuggle goods from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, making a fortune for Europeans.

As soon as trade was opened, it became a way for the powerful and wealthy businessmen to make money, and the forces of all parties were in their hands, and the interests were inextricably linked.

Before the implementation of the trade embargo on the southeastern country, no one refused to trust --- other people, for example, the former Grand Vizier Bashir Pasha, who was very happy to do business with the Chinese, he wanted to say that the trade embargo, that was forbidden to others, and he couldn't help his own, once the trade embargo, all the trade was his family.

Kopluru Pasha is different, he has no interest in this, he is very innocent, he is forbidden, and others have nothing to say.

Well, then a trade embargo will be imposed on the southeastern country, and Chinese goods will be strictly prohibited from entering, and all those found will be punished for treason, except for confiscation!

Is there a policy and a countermeasure?

The sophisticated Kolluru Pasha took one step at a time, and he sent a central inspector, equivalent to a central inspection team, to various localities to supervise local affairs and prepare for war.

"Punish corrupt officials, lawless soldiers, and rebels, and rectify and restore domestic order!" Kopluru Pasha's words made everyone tremble, what a bloody storm this will set off!

Among the ministers, some of them had ghosts in their hearts and did not dare to jump out against the Grand Vizier, but Harlan Pasha knew that the role of his promotion by the Queen Mother was to contain Koprurus Pasha and not make him too proud, so Harlan Pasha asked a question: "The trade embargo will make us lose a lot of tariffs and domestic taxes, expand our armaments, and need a lot of military spending, where will this money come from?" ”

Koprülu Pasha said: "My esteemed colleague, this is a good question! ”

His answer made people gasp: "Within a year, the construction costs of all religious sites in the country will be suspended!" ”
