Only the old man knew that this matter was not so simple, and he sighed in his heart, but he would not be stupid enough to pour cold water on everyone.

After the transmission, he was allowed to enter the palace, the old man marched in high spirits, and the people who met him bowed respectfully, he was the Turkish vizier, that is, the prime minister, his name was Koplulu Muhammad Pasha, the wise man recognized by the government and the opposition, and people said that if he had become the great vizier, that is, the prime minister, then perhaps the glory of the Ottoman Empire would have been more vigorous, and not let those heretics run rampant!

After the Turkish expansion reached its extreme, it inevitably entered a period of decline, and in Europe it was never possible to cross the line of Vienna, and the Hongmao Fan built extensive city walls, and used cannons on the fortresses to deal with the Turks, and the Turks were condescending, and the Turks could not enter.

Although the "Urban Cannon" had been built to break through the walls of the fortified Constantinople in the past, Turkey was an agricultural country after all, and the industrial productivity was weak, and the number and quality of the cannons built were not as good as those of the Red Maofan, which was already flawed, and even worse, the corruption of officials, greedily devouring became a big problem.

The control area is vast, the people's wisdom is not opened, and the local forces are either strong or rotten, in this regard, China, which is also the boss of the empire, is doing far better than the Ottoman Empire, because of the imperial examination!

Even if it is a poor and remote place, as long as there is a trace of possibility, there will be the sound of Langlang reading, the morning is the ploughing of the field, the twilight of the Tianzi Hall, is the dream of young people, and in the study, the excellent traditional Chinese culture, as well as the idea of maintaining the unification of the central government, has also been transmitted into the heads of the readers.

The Ottoman Empire, on the other hand, was nominally unified, but in fact it was composed of tribes rather than the prefecture and county system of China, and many places were only remotely controlled.

Although the Ottoman Empire was considered a co-owner, it was very independent and had a great tendency to split.

As soon as the power of the Ottoman Empire weakened, its local dominance immediately weakened, and it was unable to form a joint force against foreign enemies.

The bigger problem is not in the foreign enemy, not in the locality, but in the court!

The old man walked into the golden inner palace, which can be called full of gold and jade, silk and satin columns, showing the luxury of the empire, where the terrain is high, and you can see the blue sea of the Bosphorus in the distance, the scenery is spectacular!

In front of the throne, there were six high-ranking officials, the first of whom was the Grand Vizier Bashir Pasha, who was a mediocre man who sat in this position because of his unparalleled loyalty and obedience to the rulers.

The next three viziers were all inactive, with Kopruru Muhammad Pasha in fifth place.

The Sultan ascends to the throne!

He is very young, less than ten years old, and he is born with clear eyebrows, but how much he can do in court politics can be imagined.

Mohammed IV!

He was born in 1642 and was the nineteenth sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Mohammed bin Ibrahim bin Ahmed, whose full name was Mohammed bin Ibrahim, ascended the throne at the age of six after his father Ibrahim was deposed, and his grandmother Kosem is now in charge of the government.

Listen to the government!

That's right, many times when the king is young, it is his female family to rule, either the grandmother, or the queen mother, let the courtiers rule, no courtier can resist the temptation of power, only the family in power, so as not to fall into power.

Behind the Sultan's throne hung a jade curtain, behind which the figures were so shadowy that it was impossible to see clearly, but all the viziers bowed deeply to her.

Empress Dowager Kosem Sultan!

Kosem Sultan was a Greek, entered the palace at the age of 15, became the woman of Sultan Ahmet I, was very favored, gave birth to a son, and after Ahmet I was restored, she took power.

Ahmet I's name is not well known to outsiders, but there is a mosque named after him in Istanbul, the Sultan Ahmet Mosque, also known as the "Blue Mosque".

Kosem was considered the most dangerous and clever Sultan, the Queen Mother. She maintained her long reign by ruling over her sons Murad IV (1623–1640), Ibrahim I (1640–1648), and her grandson Muhammad IV (1648–).

In order to ensure that her son became a sultan, she was known for her intrigues and tactics.

However, the subjects complained about her rule, and she had been in that position for too long!

Behind the curtain, although Koseme was old and had lost her appearance, she was still majestic, and she was wearing a red robe, which was very different.

At that time, in the green world, women had a very low status, and they often had to behave in a proper manner, wearing a dull black robe, but Koseme dared to wear it like this, and no one dared to criticize her.

On her side stood a black eunuch, tall and muscular, none other than Kizlar Aga, the highest-ranking black eunuch leader in the harem known as Kizlar Aga, who not only held more power, but was also Kirseme's henchman.

The Ottoman court is the same as the Chinese court in that the emperor has many women, the difference is that the Ottoman court uses black people, in addition to eunuchs, there are also strong black people who do not lack parts to help with the work, but the women of the Sultan have to be careful, they really have to get together with the black people, and give birth to children......

After Juvizier paid his respects to Kosem Sultan and Muhammad IV, Grand Vizier Bashir Pasha smiled and congratulated the two rulers on the victory of Basra, a great victory over the infidels!

During these days, the Chinese from the east were very slapped in the face, they seized Egypt, an important granary ---of the Ottoman Empire, Egypt, and attacked the two river valleys of the empire, so that the important trading city of Faou Port City in the east of the empire fell into their hands, which made the Ottoman court and court extremely indignant.

You Chinese are full of food and support, and you are running to provoke us?!

Is it true that the tiger is not powerful and acts as a cat, thinking that we are really vegetarians?

Now, we have destroyed eight Chinese ships and defeated the Chinese!

"Very good, Basel Pasha has made a great contribution, and he deserves a great reward!" Kosem Sultan gladly said.

With this determination, the palace became jubilant, and all the viziers celebrated each other, including Kollurus Pasha, who stepped forward and said good things.

In fact, after so many years, Coseme has already been tempered at home, familiar with the world, and has doubts about Basel Pasha, but she needs this victory, otherwise under her rule, if she is defeated again and again by the Chinese, her rule will be shaken.

Politics has always been so dark,

Bashir Pasha breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Basir Pasha was his confidant, and he also brought some kinship around the corner, if he was held accountable, Bashir Pasha would also have to eat and be cared for.

So Bassell Pasha was rewarded with a full 50,000 silver dollars, and he was reinstated!

Bhasel Pasha lost Basra, and Bashir Pasha insisted that he be punished, and it was finally completed.

The meritorious personnel on the list were discussed by the viziers before being rewarded, and Bashir Pasha talked about a major event, that is, to counterattack Egypt and retake Cairo!
