It is impossible for any great man or hero to be wise for a lifetime. This has been proven by countless examples in history. Governor of Egypt Muhammad. It's the same with Ali. Muhammad in his youth. Ali was able to gradually grow from a low-ranking officer in the Ottoman army to the governor of Egypt, and even to compete with the Ottoman Empire, the suzerainty of Egypt. But Muhammad after old age. Ali, like most older people, is becoming more and more confused. Not only was his thoughts and actions confused, but he was increasingly suspicious. In 1844, for example, he was furious for six days when he learned that Egypt's debt had reached 80 million francs.

Especially in Muhammad. Ali's heir, Ibrahim, was sent to Italy for recuperation due to rheumatic pain and tuberculosis (he began to cough up blood). Ali became even more moody. This is not a good thing for Egypt.

On January 26, 1845, the British consul in Cairo, James, formally proposed to the Egyptian government that the representatives of the Canal Development Company established by China, Britain, France, and Spain would eventually go to Cairo to negotiate with the Egyptian government, hoping to obtain the right to dig the canal. This request made Muhammad. Ali was very dissatisfied, believing that Egypt's sovereignty had been violated. In fact, Egypt was nothing more than a semi-independent territory under the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and there was no sovereignty at all.

"Damn Westerners, and those damn yellow-skinned monkeys. What should we do if they came to Egypt with their idea? "Muhammad. Ali said to his sons. Mohammed. Ali had a total of eighteen sons, but. Thirteen of them died before they reached adulthood. Of the remaining five sons, the youngest two were just children. His eldest son, Ibrahim, was seriously ill, and now Egypt is in an eventful time.

Mohammed. Muhammad, the tenth son of Ali. Said, the thirteenth son of Muhammad. Hussein, and grandson Muhammad. Abbasids. Silence stands on Muhammad. In front of Ali, without saying a word, they all knew it. Now Muhammad. Ali was in a state of anger, and if he was angered now, it would not end well. Even Muhammad. Ali's most valued grandson, Muhammad. Nor did the Abbasids dare to speak.

Mohammed. Abbasids. It was Muhammad. Muhammad, the second son of Ali. Ahmed's son. It's just that he died at the age of 22. He left behind two sons and three daughters, of whom Abbasid became the second monarch of Egypt in history.

For a while, wait until Muhammad. After Ali finished getting angry, a few people breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father, this time the four powerful countries have joined forces to put pressure on us, and we will face great pressure. Even the Ottoman Empire. I'm afraid I can't bear this kind of pressure! So, father. Should we accede to their demands? "Muhammad, the tenth son of the governor. Said Said. Although he is only twenty-three years old, he is already a lieutenant general in the Egyptian army. Of course, a big reason why he was able to occupy a high position at such a young age was because of his identity. Otherwise, at most, you will only be able to live as a small soldier.

Mohammed. Ali's face was gloomy, and he believed that if the canal was to be dug by the canal development company, Egypt would gradually be invaded by the Western powers and eventually become a colony. After all, before the canal was opened, it was not taken seriously by the great powers. Once the canal is opened, it will become a strategic route. When the time comes, the great powers will definitely follow. How can small Egypt be able to fight it? Mohammed. Although Ali thought that Egypt, which he founded, was already a powerful country. However, he was still self-aware and knew that Egypt was far from being an opponent of the Western powers. Among the four powers that made up the canal development company, except for the Kingdom of Spain, the other three were simply not something that Egypt could deal with, and even the Ottoman Empire did not dare to confront it head-on.

"Grandpa, in the Canal Development Company, only five percent of our shares in Egypt have been reserved. I heard that the canal will cost tens of millions of pounds to be dug this time. A five-percent stake is equivalent to at least two million pounds. After the canal is opened, we will be able to reap a steady stream of revenue, which will be of great help to improve Egypt's finances. "The grandson of the governor, Muhammad. Abbas said.

Mohammed. Ali nodded, and the thought of Egypt's current foreign debt, which amounted to 80 million francs, was a headache. Perhaps this time the shares of the Canal Company will allow Egypt to gradually pay off these foreign debts! Among other things, these shares alone are worth tens of millions of francs.

"Well, when the representatives of the Canal Development Company come, Abbasids, you are responsible for negotiating with them. Fight for the greater good of Egypt. "Muhammad. Ali said. He was old though, and he was starting to get confused a lot of the time. However, in the face of key events, his mind is still very clear. He knew very well that Egyptian power could not confront China, Britain, France, and Spain, so he could only compromise.

"Yes, grandpa, I will try my best to fight for more benefits!" Mohammed. Abbas said. Although he was the youngest, he was actually older than both of his uncles. Able to be Muhammad. Ali paid attention to it, and the Abbasids was very satisfied. His uncle Ibrahim was in poor health and did not have much to live, and when they died, he might be able to become the new governor of Egypt.

Mohammed. Said and Muhammad. Hussein and his eyes were full of jealousy and anger as they looked at their nephew, Abbasid.

Istanbul, formerly known as Constantinople, was originally the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. However, in 1453, this famous European city was captured by the Ottomans, and Eastern Rome fell immediately. The Ottoman Turkish Empire began to fight the entire European countries with a strong force. Constantinople was also renamed Istanbul and became the capital of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

However, with the passage of time, the Ottoman Turkish Empire gradually began to decline. Especially after the advent of firearms, the scimitars in the hands of the knights of the Ottoman Turkish Empire were no longer invincible, which further accelerated the decline of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

The current sultan of the Ottoman Turkish Empire is Abdul. Mejid I, who ruled the declining empire from July 2, 1839. Like his father, Mahmud II, Abdul. Mejid I, also a reform-minded monarch. He was first succeeded to the throne at a time when the Ottoman Turkish Empire was facing a severe crisis. Ali's army defeated the Ottoman army at Nizip and began its march towards Alexandria, where the Ottoman Turks mobilized troops to aid Ahmet. Fevzi. Pasha. Eventually, with the intervention of European powers, the governor of Egypt, Mohammed. Ali was forced to compromise and the Ottoman Empire was spared further attacks and reoccupied Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine.

In order to fulfill his father's legacy, Abdullah. Mejid I immediately set about reforms. Decree of November 1839 issued by Hart-Ai. Sharif, also known as Tanzimethua Mani, implemented the implementation of reforms. As a result of the reforms, the Ottoman Empire began to gradually regain its strength. Of course, the current Ottoman Turkish Empire is still a well-deserved sick man in West Asia.

It is impossible for the Ottoman Empire not to know about the establishment of the Canal Development Company in Paris by China, Britain, France, and Spain, and the fact that the European powers were all moved by it and wanted to join the Canal Development Company. However, in the development of the canal, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was ignored by China, Britain, France and Spain. Five percent of the canal development company's shares belonged to Egypt, while the Ottoman Turkish Empire had none. This result greatly displeased the ruling class of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

"Those damned infidels, who dig canals in the land of the Ottoman Empire without the permission of their masters, or even give them the compensation they seem, they are just going too far!" Abdul. Like an angry lion, Mejid I roared inside the royal palace in Istanbul.

"Your Majesty the Sultan, I think we should immediately negotiate with China, Britain, France, and Spain, and make it clear to them that Egypt is the territory of the Empire, and that the Empire allows them to dig canals in Egypt. However, they need to give the Empire a stake in the Canal Development Company, at least ten percent! "Mustafa. Lester. Pasha said.

"Ten percent? Wouldn't that be too little? "Abdul. Mejid I said with a frown.

"Your Majesty the Sultan, ten percent is already a lot. Even the Kingdom of Spain, which was backed by the Chinese Empire, received only 10 percent of the shares. For the canal, which costs tens of millions of pounds, even a 10 percent stake would mean a fortune of millions of pounds. And, after the canal is opened, it will be able to obtain a steady stream of wealth. "Fouad. Pasha said.

"Hmmm! Well, let our ambassador in Paris negotiate with the Canal Development Company that they must give ten percent of the shares of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, otherwise they will not want to dig a canal on the territory of the Empire! "Abdul. Mejid said. Since ten percent of the shares were not too small, the Ottoman Empire was barely acceptable. (To be continued......)
