    *** Some people may wonder that after Li Ding defeated Arthurius at Mount Mugojar, the Caucasus region was empty of troops and morale was turbulent. Why didn¡¯t the Ottoman Empire send military reinforcements to the Caucasus quickly?  This is because the Ottoman Empire at this moment is facing two huge crises.  ¡ó¡ý In the six months since the Grand Vizier Koprulu Muhammad Pasha came to power, he has taken drastic measures and executed about 15,000 corrupt officials, lawless soldiers and rebels within six months, striving to rectify and restore domestic order.  , and even redirected religious funds to secular purposes to alleviate the financial crisis.  It is unknown whether any of the 15,000 corrupt officials he executed were political opponents, but such a big move, such brutal means, and even involving religious funds, will inevitably arouse a strong backlash.  At this time, as soon as the news of the annihilation of Arthurius's army spread back to the country, the whole Ottoman nation was in an uproar.  Adana Governor Bapres immediately announced publicly that he had conclusive evidence to prove that Grand Vizier Koprulu Muhammad Pasha was the mastermind behind the assassination of the Sultan's Queen Mother, and asked the Sultan to immediately punish Koprulu Muhammad severely.  .Pasha, and his associates.  Immediately, the governors of Kastamonu, Diyarbak?r, Kosovo, Jerusalem, Benghazi, and Mosul also wrote letters requesting Sudan to severely punish the murderers.  Good guy!  Koprulu Muhammad Pasha is cutting off the wings and minions of these people, because these people were the confidants of the Sultan Queen Mother Kosem during the regency.  Koprulu Muhammad Pasha originally expected Arthurius to achieve a great victory, and then use the power of victory to capture these people in one fell swoop.  Who would have thought that Arthurius, who had high hopes, would be completely wiped out.  Because of the changes in trade routes, the Ottoman Empire lost control of East and West trade and the huge profits of wholesalers. In the past few decades, the financial deficit has become more and more serious. The Timar system, which is the basis of imperial rule, is in danger of collapse.  After a large number of Sipaxi cavalry lords went bankrupt, they fled to the border and joined the rebels against the government. This was originally a mess with a leak in the middle and smoke on all sides.  ¡°If at this time, the governors of Kastamonu, Diyarbakir, Kosovo, Jerusalem, Benghazi, and Mosul seek independence, the entire huge Ottoman Empire may fall apart.  The 19th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, Mehmed IV, is only eleven years old this year and has not yet taken office. Of course, it is impossible for him to severely punish the powerful Grand Vizier Copullu Mehmed Pasha and the party members who support him.  But Adana Governor Bapres and others.  It has also been publicly announced that Grand Vizier Koprulu Muhammad Pasha was the mastermind behind the assassination of the Sultan Empress Dowager, and the two sides were already at odds with each other.  Koprulu Muhammad Pasha was eager to find a way to reconcile the conflicts between the two sides.  But misfortunes never come singly.  A bigger crisis followed.  In the Mediterranean, with the help of the Qin mission, the Holy Roman Empire, Spain, Portugal, Venice, Italy and many other principalities formed a huge fleet of nearly 400 large and small warships and launched a fierce attack on the Ottoman Navy.  attack.  Among them, the most eye-catching ones are a huge treasure ship of the Great Qin Empire and eight 60-meter-long scissor warships, commanded by Admiral Hua Nanying of the Ocean Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Great Qin Dynasty.  On a huge treasure ship.  There were nearly a hundred "War Eagles". After taking off from the deck, they launched a terrifying attack on the Ottoman Empire's warships from the air, which immediately stunned the Ottoman Empire's navy.  They retreated one after another.  The Great Qin Royal Navy became famous in one battle and shocked the entire Europe and the Middle East!  Good guys, the British, the Hungarians, and the Great Qin have just signed an armistice agreement.  The Dutch who had established diplomatic relations could not sit still.  The territory of the Ottoman Empire is so vast. The Black Sea is their inner lake, and the entire southern coast of the Mediterranean is also their territory.  From the Caspian Sea to North Africa near the Strait of Gibraltar, and to both sides of the Red Sea, the star and crescent flags are all flying.  Seeing the defeat of the army of the Mansman Empire, the retreat of the navy, and the internal turmoil, it is obvious that it is about to die. With such a big piece of fat, who wouldn¡¯t want to take the opportunity to pounce on it and take a bite No!  Take a hundred bites!  Eat until your belly is full!  Ever since!  Almost all Christian countries in Europe that could send a navy did so. Suddenly there were nearly 200 more warships. Everyone held up their knives and forks, as if they were attending a feast, and they were extremely excited.  Since the Crusades, Muslims have been suppressing Christians. The Ottoman Empire's Imperial Sea is not only aggressive in the Mediterranean, but its army has even reached the city of Vienna, posing a severe threat to the entire hinterland of Europe.  The Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire once wanted to unite with the Safavid Emperor Abbas IAttack the Ottoman Empire, but due to the many internal conflicts in Europe at that time, the Thirty Years of European War soon broke out, and they were reduced to a pot of porridge, so there was no talk of a flanking attack on the Ottoman Empire.  "That's different now. With the Qin Empire taking the lead, everyone is just sending out their navy to deal with the common enemy uh no, it should be to carve up a big fat piece of meat, so they will definitely be scrambling to be the first.  With so many countries coming, it¡¯s inevitable that people will talk a lot and each will say one thing. Isn¡¯t this chaos?  Everyone knows that this is not possible. There must be a commander-in-chief of joint operations. Otherwise, we will fight through this mess and the battle will be impossible to fight.  European countries are full of internal conflicts, but it is just because there is a big enough fat in front of them that they temporarily put aside their grievances between each other, but it is not feasible to let the fleet of one country obey the command of that country.  Commanders from more than ten countries met on the island of Sicily, and they were so noisy that they almost started fighting. In the end, everyone elected General Hua Nanying of the Royal Navy of the Great Qin Dynasty as the commander-in-chief of the combined fleet.  Hua Nanying didn't want to get involved in this matter. Think about it, these hundreds of warships come from more than ten countries. They inevitably have their own selfish motives and are difficult to command. The Great Qin Navy has already shocked Europe in one battle, and there is no need to use victory anymore.  Here comes the extra points.  If you become the commander-in-chief of the combined fleet, it would be fine if you win. But if you lose, wouldn't it ruin the prestige of the Qin Army?  Hua Nanying immediately declined. I will not be the commander-in-chief of the combined fleet.  The naval commanders from all over the world looked at it and said, "How can this work? If you don't do it, this matter will not be solved!"  Shouldn't everyone just break up?  Everyone came here to enjoy the meal, waiting for a big meal.  Everyone requested again and again and agreed that once victory was achieved, Da Qin would only get 20% of the spoils.  With this condition, and considering that Li Ding's army needed an attack here to reduce the pressure, the South China elite reluctantly became the commander-in-chief of the combined fleet.  Hua Nanying¡¯s first order was to unite nearly 600 large and small warships in the fleet and attack the Aegean Sea, threatening Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, and forcing the Ottoman Navy to fight decisively as soon as possible.  Let¡¯s not mention how shocking this huge fleet, which united almost all European coastal countries, was to the Ottoman Empire.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????In the Tsaritsyn Fortress at the confluence of the Volga River and the Tsaritsyn River, Commander Ivanov really fell into Li Ding's plan to lure the snake out of its cave.  At this moment, Li Ding's army was blocked by the city of Kota in the Caucasus, and there was no supply of food and grass. The city of Atyrau on the Caspian Sea organized a large amount of food and grass to be transported to the city of Kota through the lower reaches of the Volga River.  This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!  Although Li Ding left 10,000 troops to build defenses in the lower reaches of the Volga River, these 10,000 people were newly captured Kazakhs. Once attacked, how could these Kazakh prisoners of war fight bloody battles with the Russian army for Li Ding's army?  ?     People are iron rice is steel.  As long as this batch of emergency food and grass is taken, Li Ding's tens of thousands of troops will definitely collapse due to hunger.  By then, the Caucasus, the northern shore of the Caspian Sea, even the Kipchak Steppe and Siberia will all belong to Russia.     Now or never.  Ivanov immediately led six thousand cavalry in person and set off overnight, galloping towards the lower reaches of the Volga River ***************************  * ps: Dear brothers and sisters, there are only a few days left in this month, and the competition for monthly tickets is so fierce that the votes on the classification list are almost mixed together. Hyway can only bow to each other and ask for monthly tickets again!  I hope you will support me a lot, and hello to you, Haoyuan!  .(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
