Ihasan has an Arab appearance, with a high nose and deep eyes, high eyebrow bones, a large beard, and a tall and thin body.

He is a local, skilled in bows and horses, outstanding swordsmanship, originally in the city defense army is just a mid-level officer who is not in the stream, rigorous and not good enough to please the powerful and depressed and not reused, this time the top of the city defense army because of the bad things of Sanjak Beyi in office were swept away, the new official is temporarily vacant, and Ihasan has to take office.

Sanjak Bey, who took office, lost power due to internal struggles in the imperial court, and the high-ranking members of the city defense army he promoted were also unlucky, and they resigned one after another.

Nominally, he is the commander of the city defense army, but in fact he only has the role of following orders, and the main human and financial rights are not his share at all, but he is only responsible for leading the team and training.

He is old-fashioned but not stupid, he is arched to the stage and does not know that he will be a scapegoat, the local governor has the responsibility to defend the land, once the city is lost, he will be killed.

Either you resist bravely to death, or you will be killed if you don't run away, and you will die anyway.

The powerful Persian Gulf fleet was defeated, and Ihasan stayed in the city defense army of Port Faou for a long time, knowing what kind of virtue the city defense army was, neglecting training, disarmament, low morale, and fighting with the Chinese, hanging!

Regarding Sanjak Beyi's "timely" illness, Ihasan expressed deep suspicions, he was not sick in the morning and not sick at night, but he came to get sick at this time!

There was also a civil official who came to herald, which also made him very uncomfortable, that civil official named Filas, from a noble background, from Istanbul, has always been too high-eyed, and he looks down on the local buns at all, and now the enemy is so big, he is still so domineering, and he looks arrogant!

Shit!

Usually, he came to the city defense army on behalf of Lord Sanjak Bey to give orders, and if he didn't obey at all, he would be severely reprimanded, but now it's good, it's none of his business at all!

How can this person be so cheeky?

The picture of the coming beings of the strong enemy opened Ihassan's eyes, and the high-ranking clergy in the city, Imam Ghazi, looked sanctimonious, and at first Ihsan admired him, because Gazi dared to fight against those high-ranking officials, and he could be called a moral model in the city.

What now?

When the heretics attacked, he slipped faster than anyone else, and was long gone in the city.

In fact, Imam Gazi is also courageous, but unfortunately the hero is short of breath, his children are long, and his family pulls him away, if he falls, what will the family do? He had four wives, eight sons, fifteen grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren...... They all count on him to eat.

As for the other high-ranking officials and rich people in the city, they also disappeared without a trace, they knew that the news was fast, they left the city with their families and the soft, they had the force in their hands second only to the city defense army, and their departure also took away the soul of the city.

The old men are gone, they don't care about their city property, why should the others fight?!

Standing on the edge of the embankment, Ihasan held a telescope and looked out into the open sea, estimating that the Chinese fleet would land in two hours at most.

I only have 2,000 men, how can I fight the enemy?

In the telescope, I saw the trembling Chinese battleship, and the cannon holes all over the tall bulwarks made Ihasan frightened!

If he also escaped, he was afraid that as soon as he arrived in another city, he would be arrested, and his life would be difficult to protect.

Poor people, in the city defense army, Ihasan is just a small person, submissive to his superiors, obedient to orders, and now he wants to become a scapegoat for the loss of a big city, how can he be, why?

Ihasan gritted his teeth, hated and feared, he was very hesitant, he was unwilling, but he didn't know what to do!

"Bash!"

"Bash!"

Someone behind him called his official name, and Ihasan turned around, and it was his subordinates Kemari, Mujshid, McNee, etc., all locals, everyone enlisted in the army, quite familiar, and they asked anxiously, "Bashi, what should we do?" ”

"What should I do?" Ihasan smiled bitterly, "How do I know what to do?" ”

He said, "I didn't tell you to stay put, how did you get out, how did the team go?" ”

He asked anxiously, "What about your chief?" ”

Kemari, who also looked like an Arab, said fiercely, "Sir, how can there be a sir!" ”

"What?" Ihasan asked, surprised.

Mujshid scolded, "They all ran away, all the outsiders ran away, you cowards! ”

Outsiders, which is the name of their local officers for outsiders to come here as officers, in the areas that the Ottoman Empire was able to control, often transferred officials from other places to serve in the upper echelons of the military and government, they accounted for the main advantage, however, when the catastrophe came, they flew away, leaving the bad luck to the locals.

McNee explained, "They said that to protect Lord Sanjak Bey from the city, let us be in charge of the city defense, and now the three hundred cavalry they have brought will follow them, and let us be responsible for resisting the Chinese army!" ”

In other words, they were abandoned.

They talked a lot and were in a mess.

"I didn't prepare for war for a long time, I used to send money, I know, all the money was given to them!"

"yes, we didn't get any money, and then we're going to meet the enemy!"

"Let's fight, do our duty, they can escape, we have to defend our hometown!"

"Hit, how? There are less than 2,000 people, and there are at least 20,000 Chinese! ”

"Our Lord Sanjak Bey is doing well with this illness, but I heard that someone saw him preparing to leave, and he was packing up his things in the mansion and scolding, very energetically scolding!"

"Scared!"

……

Everyone looked at each other, everyone's eyes doomed Ihasan to not speak, the strange atmosphere made him feel very unaccustomed, glared back at them and said, "What are you doing just looking at me!" ”

Among them, McNee was the wisest, he was not tall, but he was very stocky, he was a cavalry officer, and he said slowly, "The commanders have all run, if they are defeated, even if Bash can escape, he will not be held accountable for losing the city!" ”

Ihasan nodded silently.

"And we can't run!" McNee continued.

Seeing the bewildered looks of the others, McNee pointed out, "Bash alone is not enough to bear the responsibility for the loss of the city, we must bear it together!" ”

No one can run, so everyone figured it out and scolded bitterly!

They took all the benefits, and now we have to take responsibility for them!

"Nope! We will not accept such an outcome! McNee shouted out everyone's hearts.

What to do? Everyone looked at him together and listened to him say, "Since they are doing this to us, then we are not welcome!" ”

"Capture Sanjakbey, arrest them all, and give them to the Chinese!" McNee suggested.

"Yes!" Except for Ihassan, everyone agreed.
