The capital of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the palace of the Sultan.

The current Sultan Muhammed IV listened to the report of Serin, the governor of Armenia.

He frowned, glanced, and kept thinking about the princes and nobles who did not dare to speak.

After more than ten years of war with Fujian, they have a clear understanding of their own strength.

Fujian was only a small city-state established by the Han people, with a population less than one-third of Ottoman Turkey.

With only its own strength, Fujian defeated the Ottoman Turkish army many times and took away the Egyptian territory, Greek territory and many other areas of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

They took away one of the most important cities of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Orthodox holy city of Constantinople.

Muhammed IV knew that if it were not for the fact that Fujian continued to expand towards Eastern Europe and fight against Western European countries such as the Holy Roman Empire.

If Fujian only attacks Ottoman Türkiye, they will definitely not be able to stop it.

One of the main reasons why Muhammed IV was able to return to the throne of Sultan was that the previous Sultan Ib Rahim I had a conflict with the Han people.

His series of policies led to the continued decline of Ottoman Türkiye.

The young nobles who held power in the country chose to support him again and overturned the original theory.

Even the most dim-witted person needs to remember long after being hit hard many times.

Muhammed IV knew that if Ottoman Turkey wanted to rise again, it must learn from the powerful China.

Ottoman Türkiye can now manufacture some matchlocks and artillery.

However, these firearms, which were extremely scarce in production, could not save the combat effectiveness of the Ottoman Turkish army.

Muhammad IV ignored the opposition of some conservatives and vigorously implemented the New Deal.

He just knew that if Ottoman Türkiye did not change, its next fate would be very miserable.

However, due to various domestic constraints, industrialization has been stumbling, and it can only be regarded as a handicraft industry.

He had been worried before that the Fujian state would send the main force of its army to attack Ottoman Türkiye.

Muhammed IV never expected that the Fujian Kingdom, which he had always been worried about, would not have the energy to attack Ottoman Turkey because it was restrained by European countries.

On the contrary, the distant Eastern China has already invaded the Caucasus region.

When Muhammad IV learned the news, he had a headache and couldn't sleep for two days.

Ottoman Türkiye has been surrounded by Han forces, and its future is worrying.

He thought of many ways, but because of the huge gap in strength, he couldn't implement them.

Muhammad IV needed to know about the situation in the Caucasus every day.

He felt relieved when he learned that the Chinese had no signs of attacking Ottoman Turkey.

The country of China was too far away from here. He knew that the Han army had powerful firearms, but they had to rely on special ammunition.

There is basically no industrialization here, and it will certainly not be able to provide ammunition for the Han army.

No matter how powerful the Han army is, it will be difficult for them to exert it.

The solution that Muhan Mud IV came up with was to use massive amounts of cannon fodder to consume the ammunition of the Han army.

Ottoman Türkiye lacked everything except slaves.

Muhan, the countermeasure that Mud IV racked his brains to come up with, was ruined in one fell swoop because of Selin.

Ottoman Türkiye can find cannon fodder, and China can also find cannon fodder.

Selin used his own strength to show that the cannon fodder trained by China was as powerful as the Ottoman Turkish army.

In addition to this reason, the Armenians defeated the Ottoman Turkish army.

When this news is spread, the Armenians will be inspired and choose to resist the rule of Ottoman Turkey.

When other tribes saw the success of the Armenians, their hidden thoughts began to come alive.

They will definitely resist the rule of Ottoman Türkiye, either openly or covertly.

As the sultan of Ottoman Turkey, Muhammed IV knew that the Ottoman Turkish methods of maintaining rule were barbaric.

They are a nomadic civilization and they rule nomadic tribes. Only iron-blooded methods can make these tribes accept their fate.

Not only are they tough on foreigners, they are also tough on their own race.

Muhammad IV looked at Selin with extremely disappointed eyes.

He asked in a bad tone: "The only one who defeated you was the Armenian army, and the Han army came and went."

Selin said aggrievedly: "We completely crushed the Armenian army.

Our army was provoked by the Armenians, who shot our warriors with lead bullets dipped in lard.

This caused the entire army to become furious and wanted to tear the Armenians in front into pieces.

The army was about to wipe out the Armenians, and the Han army took action.

The real Han army has far greater firepower than the Min army.

Powerful metal bullets and artillery shells fell like raindrops, leaving us with no room for resistance."

When Selin described the scene at that time, his face turned pale and his body was trembling.

When Muhammad IV heard the news, he felt a little better. This was the only good news.

Only the Armenians defeated the elite of the Ottoman Turks. This situation is even more terrifying.

The Han army was hidden among them and launched a sneak attack on the army.

The army at the front suffered a disastrous defeat. This is a normal situation.

Muhammed IV waved his hand and ordered: "Serein was defeated at the hands of the Armenians. This incompetent person ruined the reputation of the army.

Saili has been sentenced to death by stoning for confiscating his home and exterminating his clan."

When Selin heard the punishment imposed on him by the Sultan, he shouted hoarsely: "Sultan, this defeat is a crime other than war.

If any general were to encounter this situation, it would be impossible to win."

His shouts did not move anyone in the palace.

The huge profits created by the ruin of the Sailiyin family will make them very happy.

Muhammad IV continued to issue orders: "The Armenians openly opposed the rule of the Ottoman Turks, which is absolutely an unforgivable crime.

These foreign pagans cannot be trusted.

Notify the whole country and launch a massacre of Armenians to scare other foreign races."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Muhammad IV still chose the massacre method commonly used by the Ottoman Turks. This tough method has the most powerful effect.

Especially in a short period of time, it can deter disloyal tribes.

As for being detrimental to long-term rule, this is completely unnecessary for the current Ottoman Turkey.

If they cannot survive this crisis, it is unclear whether Ottoman Turkey can continue to exist in the future.

Muhammed IV's order was issued, and no one in the palace objected.

Grand Duke Suleiman stood up and suggested: "Sultan, I have been observing the movements of the Han army.

The Han army occupied the Caucasus. They controlled the mountainous areas and could strategically attack, retreat or defend.

However, they did not choose to attack, but continued to stay in the mountainous area, and did not respond much to our previous temptations.

By collecting intelligence from all parties, I have learned that the Han people's homeland is extremely far away from here.

The Han army relies heavily on the transportation of supplies. Their powerful firepower is not terrible at all if they lose ammunition.

Even if the Han people occupy Armenia now, their roads still have not been built, so we still have a chance.

The minister suggested that the Sultan should continue to learn from China and at the same time send a large army to the front line to confront him.

We took on the attitude that no matter how many casualties there were, we would fight to the end.

The Han army has no absolute certainty and will not choose to attack us.

At the same time, cannon fodder was sent to continuously consume the ammunition of the Han army.

This way we can wait until the opportunity comes."

After hearing this, Muhan Mud IV agreed with this plan.

The central idea of ​​this plan is to wait for change.

As long as the transfer time lasts long enough, it will happen sooner or later.

Whether it is civil strife in China or the rise of European countries.

As long as there is a turning point, Ottoman Türkiye can escape the fate of national subjugation.
