Sultan Xurem arrived at the Caliph's palace with trepidation, and as a few days before, the eunuchs who led the way were rather cold. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although Mustafa is now in open rebellion, but after all, people just want to "clear the king's side and get rid of the adulterous concubine", Mustafa repeatedly emphasized that his dear caliph's father must have been deceived by the adulterous concubine and even kidnapped, it seems that the matter has not yet reached the point of complete irreparability, who knows if Suleiman will get rid of the adulterous concubine, and then throw a few useless ministers to dissipate his son's anger.

Of course, Sultan Xurem knew that the contradiction was not so simple, but she was not sure whether Suleiman would use his own head to stabilize the situation, after all, she was indeed responsible for this matter, and more profoundly, Suleiman did not like a son who was supported by a strong mother, which was already obvious.

Now that Mustafa left Egypt alive, a civil war is imminent, Turkmen and Kurdish leaders have received Mustafa's invitations and promises, and there are rumors that he is even considering converting to the descendants of the Xingyue Sect in exchange for the support of the Persian Empire, but this problem is not so simple, Mustafa's subordinates are all disciples of the Xingyue Sect, and he killed Manla of the Descendants faction, and the two sides have a blood feud.

"Here you are, sit down."

However, compared to the roar of the previous days, Suleiman looked very calm when he met, and when Sultan Xurem looked at it, he found that it was not a private meeting, but an important meeting.

** The official and the chief preacher were there, as well as the newly appointed Grand Vizier, who was completely a close confidant of Suleiman, and Sultan Xurem did not dare to interfere, and finally Selim was also sitting next to him, and he did not look drunk.

"Rutfee, you tell everyone about the situation." Suleiman waved his hand and asked the ** official to report the situation.

"The situation in Egypt is that the central part has been controlled by the Mamluks, and it is no longer possible to control the situation with the existing forces of Egypt, the Mamluks raided Cairo and seized a large amount of supplies, although several provinces in the upper Nile have not yet fallen, but these provinces have limited manpower and material resources, and it is impossible to hold out for long, the northern coastal areas are in chaos, and the troops defeated by the Mamluks are gathering towards the Sinai Peninsula."

"The situation in Iraq is that Mustafa has openly rebelled in Baghdad and sent emissaries to the Kurdish and Turkmen chiefs, and it is not clear what conditions he has promised to these wall grasses, but there will be information soon, most of the chiefs are more afraid of us, the attitude of the Persian heresy is not surprising, some supplies have been sent from Tabriz to Baghdad, Mustafa is considering converting to the heresy of the descendants, but the enmity between Mustafa and the Persians is as deep as the sea, and he killed an unknown number of descendants, Pamanla, Moreover, his subordinates are all orthodox believers of the disciple sect, and there is no basis for proselytizing. ”

"The Grand Duchy of Moscow has already begun to mobilize, and it is not clear whether its target is our vassal Crimean Half-Orc Khanate."

"The question of Poland can be dealt with later, they have not yet issued a ******, the Lithuanian parliament is against the war, the Poles will certainly want to attack our vassal principality of Moldavia, but the parliamentarians of Krakow and Danzig, who are expected to be taxed, will oppose it by all means, and the Duke of Prussia will oppose it by all means."

"The greatest crisis is still the Habsburgs, Austria will definitely attack Buda, and the Spanish navy may return from the New World at any time, but our intelligence systems in these two countries have fallen silent because of the death of Ibrahim, and even if communication is restored after a while, we can no longer trust them, and we can only be sure that the Spanish fleet has not returned to the port of Seville, and the total number of troops assembled by Austria is more than 30,000, and several German princes have also sent reinforcements, the exact number is unknown, It is expected to be around 10,000 people. ”

Rutfee's summary is unabashed, and explains the situation quite neatly.

Suleiman has fully considered the intelligence in the past few days, so he directly summed up: "The rebellion in Iraq must be put down, and in three days I will lead 10,000 Janisseri new troops to leave Istanbul, and the other 20,000 field troops will set off in five days, and in twenty days they will join the provincial troops in Ankara." At that time, I will see the army of 50,000 ready to go, and the Grand Vizier you will set out to-day, prepare supplies for me, and tell Mustafa to kill himself immediately and apologize, and I can spare his son. ”

There is nothing to talk about in this direction, either you die or I die, so Suleiman fought fast and slow, and wanted to deal a fatal blow to Mustafa before Mustafa and Persia reached an agreement.

"Your Highness the Chief Preacher, you immediately set off to meet with all the powerful Kurdish leaders, they are all members of the disciple faction, first ensure their support, many Turkmen tribes are descendants, at this time, the more we value them, the more they will be opposed, regardless of them, they will only wait and see."

"Your Highness, you assist Selim in organizing the defense of the provinces of Europa, leave the Kingdom of Poland alone, they will even quarrel for three months to reply to me with a letter without any substance, unless I am defeated by Mustafa, they will never send troops, and I will never be defeated by Mustafa."

"Selim, after I leave Istanbul, you will be regent, you will provide me with a steady stream of supplies, I will leave you with 5,000 new Janisseris, and you will mobilize troops from Bulgaria and Greece, organize 50,000 field troops to prepare for the rescue of Buda, and when I return from Iraq, I will go directly to Central Hungary."

"Sultan Xurem, I want you to rebuild your intelligence network against Austria and Spain within three months."

Suleiman's decision-making, on the whole, was one of no concessions in all directions, except for defensive postures in some places.

Sultan Hürem knew that the Poles were asking for a very low price, and they simply demanded that the Ottomans hand over the suzerainty of Moldavia to them, and then Poland would compensate the Ottomans a large sum of money.

The Egyptian side also has information that Muhammad Ali only asks for the middle and upper Nile provinces, and is willing to call the part of the coastline of Egypt can continue to be directly ruled by the Ottoman Empire, but he asks for Cairo, so the two sides cannot negotiate.

Even Austria can be discussed.

Shylock had already sent a notice from Vienna, and the Austrian army was ready to go, but the Grand Duke Ladislaus was very sympathetic to the caliph's family tragedy, so if the Ottomans were willing to peacefully transfer Central Hungary, including Buda, and hand over an indemnity of 500,000 thalers as the cost of rebuilding Buda, then the 15,000 Ottoman troops stationed in this area could leave the area in its entirety, and the Austrian river fleet would not interfere with the retreat, and could even provide supplies, Of course, the Ottomans had to compensate Taler more.

The only Spain that didn't say a word and posed "just to do it". (To be continued.) )
