Chapter 2027: Enlightenment of the Queen Mother
The young sultan walked around the hall like a wounded and trapped little beast. His bedroom was very spacious, but he still felt dull.
He looked out of the temple, and his vision was wide, and he could see the Bosphorus, but the view now was very bad.
There are pagan battleships cruising in the strait, and Baotou soldiers are on guard on the walls. In some places, the position of the soldiers standing is higher than that of Sudan!
Gritting his teeth and looking at the enemy ship on the strait, Sudan let out a cold snort!
He did not pray to God, because he knew that his God never blessed him.
If God bless him, his army should not be defeated.
Just like those Vizier and Pasha, what is the use of this god?
The light turned, and the hall gradually dimmed. Someone lit a lamp and opened the door.
The sultan said angrily, "Didn't I say that no one is allowed in?"
The voice of TJ leader "Chizlar" Selim said: "It's too late!"
The Sultan can lose his temper at anyone, but there are two people who are generally temperless. One is his mother, Duhen Hattie, and the other is his teacher, the late Grand Vizierkoplulu Muhammad. Pasha.
He turned around and saw that it was his mother's queen coming in, he reluctantly said: "I saw the mother's queen!"
Duhen Hattie entered the hall, and a group of people filed in behind him, putting tempting food on the imperial table.
She said to Muhammad IV: "I heard Selim said that you didn't eat dinner, so let them bring it. You eat first, and you have the strength to do things after you have eaten!"
Sultan reluctantly said: "Okay!"
So he sat down to eat at the royal table, TJ and the court ladies served him, but he had no intention of eating and drinking, so he rushed.
The two mothers and sons drank tea and talked about each other. The sultan talked about the opinions of his ministers in the afternoon, and then he asked Duhen Khatijie what to do?
Don't even think of Duhen Khatijah being a female generation. Before Sudan did not take power, she managed to protect the Sudan and finally eradicated her political enemy --- her mother-in-law, Sultan Kesem!
Therefore, the Queen Mother is very politically savvy. After the death of Grand Vizierkoplulu Muhammad Pasha, the Sultan valued her opinions more.
"The Ottoman Empire is an empire because of Istanbul!" Duhen Khatijé said: "Once Istanbul is lost, no one will recognize you as a sultan!"
"Think about the Kingdom of Byzantium, you will know!" Duhen Hattie enlightened him.
The Byzantine Kingdom was once a mortal enemy of the Ottoman Empire. The history is familiar to the Sultan. He knew that Constantine XI, the last king of the Byzantine Kingdom, died in Constantinople.
Once he defends Constantinople, he is likely to end up with the same fate as Constantine XI.
But the queen mother is right, if he is not in Istanbul, no one will recognize him as a sultan.
He figured it out and said firmly: "I will guard the holy city!"
"Yes!" Du Heng Hatijie praised: "But the power outside the city can't be given up!"
She analyzed to the Sultan that Istanbul is different from Constantinople. It was ransacked by the Crusaders in 1204 AD. Constantinople never recovered. The splendor of the past was only a ghost. After the Byzantines regained it in 1261 , The city’s infrastructure was basically destroyed, and the territory was also sharply reduced to several fragments. In addition, there were civil wars and the Black Death. In fact, when the Ottomans conquered in 1453, only a small piece of land outside the city was left in the Byzantine Kingdom, which was a dead end.
And now the invasion of the Eastern heathens came with a strong military force. They didn't even establish a back line, all the cities they occupied were lost, and they just marched toward Istanbul!
In this way, the Ottoman Empire still has a large territory and a large number of loyal subjects. If the Eastern pagans cannot capture Istanbul, the Ottoman army outside the city will kill them!
Therefore, we must not wait for death like the Byzantine Kingdom, but actively launch these subjects to fight.
Under the indoctrination of the mother's queen, Mohammed IV understood what to do, and he suddenly stood up and said, "I will call a court meeting immediately!"
"Okay, let's go!" Duhen Hattie nodded.
She is smirking, beautiful and charming.
Muhammad IV summoned the important officials into the palace overnight, and when the Vizier and Pasha arrived, he did not discuss with them, but decided to act arbitrarily.
He decided to stick to Istanbul and never let go.
With Vizier Filas Pasha as the commander-in-chief of the city, he is responsible for the defense of Istanbul.
Send the Grand Vizier Asim Pasha as the main leader, and Vizier Subha Pasha as the deputy, to go out of the city to summon the army king and solve the siege of Istanbul!
"If the Sultan is there, the Ottoman Empire is here, the Sudan is dead, and the Ottoman Empire is dead! Without the Ottoman Empire, you are nothing!" Mohammed IV stared at the officials with scorching eyes and said: "You remember!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The ministers responded with a bow, bending at a greater angle than before.
The Sudan and his ministers discussed city defense and good strategies for destroying the enemy, and all the ministers enthusiastically offered suggestions, and the Sudanese brainstorming ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ will soon be available:
1. Make every effort to prepare for city defense, demolish old houses and churches, and mobilize the people to consolidate the city walls.
2. Go to the islands of the Black Sea and far away to buy food, collect the food in the city, and manage it all.
3. Raise funds from individuals and temples to purchase food and weapons through public fundraising operations.
4. All the weapons in the city are raised and redistributed.
5. Train all people in the city.
6. The Quartet requests reinforcements.
In fact, all of these contents are being done, but now we need to further increase our efforts. For example, in the past, the people who collected grain and did not collect the dignitaries, the residents in the city were waiting to be fed, but the rich and powerful were the stinky meat of Zhumen, and the meat that could not be eaten was thrown away.
It doesn't work anymore now. All the food is under centralized management and distributed according to needs for long-term planning.
All the people were mobilized, including the powerful and powerful children, to join the army. In the past, many of them were exempted from military service.
After the meeting, the Sultan kept the Grand Vizier Asim Pasha and Vizier Subha Pasha and repeatedly exhorted them.
He gave them three million Spanish silver dollars as military expenses and asked them to make good use of it.
Instructed them to send troops to move around Istanbul. If they are strong or weak, they will fight. Keep maneuvering in the periphery of Istanbul. This is a great encouragement for the defenders!
Furthermore, we must increase the strength of Qinwang, and we must not let Istanbul fall!
The sultan said to the two ministers: "You know the importance of Istanbul. I don't have to say any more. We will definitely break the enemy here. God will bless us. On the day of success, I will not hesitate to award a reward!"
The two ministers even claimed that they would do their best to eliminate the heretics from the east!
