    *** As early as the 10th century AD, the people of Baku began to dig wells to draw oil. The city¡¯s economy mainly depends on the oil and salt industries.  £€fThe Emperor of Qin valued oil very much, even calling it black gold. He also spent huge sums of money from the internal treasury to have the Internal Supervision and Research and Development Department step up research on oil refining technology.  What is good at the top will be bad at the bottom!  Since he discovered that the Baku people could draw a large amount of oil by digging a well, Li Ding had no intention of abandoning this area.  Anyway, now the Greater Caucasus has been captured, and it is blocked by the Lesser Caucasus Mountains in the south, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you send a small number of troops to defend according to the danger, you can hold it.  Nearly 50,000 Qin troops began to rest, and Li Ding used this time to ask craftsmen to quickly build ships. It turned out that many ships were indeed captured in Baku Port. If they only carry people, it is almost enough, but if they have to carry horses together, then  Not even close.  Just when Li Ding was preparing to build ships to break through the Ottoman Empire's defense line in the Lesser Caucasus Mountains from the Caspian Sea, a combined fleet of nearly 600 large and small warships successfully passed through the Dardanelles Strait from the Aegean Sea and entered Marma  Lahai.  Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, which was also the original capital of the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire), Constantinople, is located at the western end of the Bosporus leading to the Black Sea north of the Sea of ??Marmara.  The city of Istanbul is located on a peninsula, bounded by the Sea of ??Marmara to the south, the Bosporus to the east, and the Golden Horn to the north.  The city wall is 20 meters high, extremely strong and difficult to attack.  The situation in the Golden Horn is calm. It was originally a harbor where Istanbul's navy was docked. It is connected to the Bosporus and is blocked by a huge iron cable. As long as the iron cable is connected, the Golden Horn can be isolated from the outside. It is difficult for foreign enemies to attack, and inside  The battleship looks at the right time.  But he can lower the iron rope and attack at any time.  It¡¯s just that now the Ottoman Empire¡¯s navy has been defeated and suffered heavy losses, and the Golden Horn has almost become an airport.  Outside the Bosphorus, there are warships like clouds and sail shadows covering the sky, especially the huge treasure ship of the Qin army and the eight scissor warships up to 60 meters long. They are all black and cold and heart-stopping.  At this moment, Topkapi Palace in Istanbul.  Grand Vizier Copurullu Muhammad Pasha, who held the imperial seal, urgently summoned all ministers to the Kubalti (under the dome) of the palace to discuss countermeasures.  The high round dome is inlaid with colorful glass, and a large amount of light shines through, making the huge palace look bright. Koprulu Muhammad Pasha is sitting behind the table on the high platform. His beard and hair are all white,  While looking seriously at the quarrel among the various viziers and ministers attending the meeting below, the humming sound echoed under the magnificent dome.  Since Muhammad II conquered this majestic city and moved the capital here.  Istanbul has never been threatened by foreign enemies.  At this moment, the Sea of ??Marmara in the south of the city is filled with warships from the Christian world, which may launch an attack on Istanbul at any time.  Bapres, who had just been promoted to vizier, loudly shouted at the meeting: "Fifty thousand troops were buried under Mount Mugorgar. The entire Caucasus region has fallen, the navy has been defeated, and the infidel army has reached Istanbul. These are all decisions."  It was caused by mistakes; When things have reached this point, someone must take responsibility. If no one is responsible for such a major matter, how can the soldiers fight against the enemy? It must be held accountable!" Bapreis's words are resounding.  The hundreds of ministers under the dome heard an uproar and looked at the Grand Vizier sitting on the pedestal. Bapreis's words were unabashedly directed at Koprulu Muhammad Pasha.  .  Because the Sultan is only eleven years old and cannot yet rule in person, Koprulu Muhammad Pasha is actually equivalent to the regent. How will he react in the face of Bapres's undisguised accusation?  Koprulu Muhammad Pasha did not expect that at this moment, which was related to the life and death of the empire, Bapres would suddenly make trouble again. He looked at the ministers below without saying a word and seemed unusually calm.  His son Koprulu Faqir Ahmed, as one of the viziers, could not tolerate others pointing the finger directly at his father.  He pointed at Bapres and shouted sternly: "Now that the infidels have arrived at the city, we should unite as one to fight off the foreign enemies. At this time, you still come to sow discord. It is simply with ulterior motives!" Let Faqir Ahmed  What makes them angry is that they have already made huge concessions, allowing Barpres and Abbas to serve as viziers. Both parties have privately agreed to weather the difficulties together first.  Now, Bapres has gone back on his promise and blatantly provoked a dispute between the two factions. He is really a despicable and shameless villain.  Seeing that the two groups of people in the main hall were fighting fiercely again, they were so noisy that Muhammad Pasha coughed twice.?, shouted: "Don't argue! I will bear the responsibility for the mistakes of the previous decisions alone. When the enemies who invade the empire are repelled, I will take the initiative to resign from the position of Grand Vizier to the Sultan and apologize to the Sultan. Now,  The enemy has already reached the city of Istanbul, and there is no time for us to argue. Now we should work together to defeat the invading enemies as soon as possible." Muhammad Pasha's words immediately triggered another burst of exclamation, especially from the officials of his group.  , heard that he was planning to resign from the post of Grand Vizier, and they couldn't help shouting no.  Muhammad Pasha shouted again: "Silence! Silence! Stop arguing. Now let's talk about how to defeat the enemy." Navy Minister Bacher immediately said: "Istanbul's city defense is strong, and the enemy can rely on some  It is absolutely impossible for the navy to capture the capital, but the empire's navy has been disabled. If we cannot seize the initiative at sea, we will never be able to truly drive away the enemy, let alone defeat them; If they use warships to blockade Bo for a long time  In the Spruce Strait, we may even lose contact with the territory to the east, and the consequences will be very serious. Therefore, we have to quickly rebuild a strong navy. "The truth is good, but does a strong navy mean a new one?  ?  Finance Minister Abdullah immediately said: "The empire's finances are very difficult, and it is really impossible to spend money on large-scale shipbuilding in the short term. What's more, to rebuild a strong navy, not only huge shipbuilding expenses, but also  Soldiers' equipment and training funds. Where can we find such money in a short time? What's more, even if we can rebuild a strong navy in the short term, what will happen if the navy of the previous empire is not strong?  The bombing from the air was useless. The entire army was almost wiped out. After rebuilding a navy, could it be able to deal with the attacks from the Qin people from the air? "Bapres snorted: "According to what the finance minister said,  Can the empire just watch the enemy's warships showing off their power outside Istanbul?" Finance Minister Abdullah immediately asked: "Does Bapresvizier have a good plan? Tell me now?  Listen." Bapreis snorted and said disdainfully: "The navy must be rebuilt as soon as possible. This is unquestionable. The capital of the empire cannot be under the fire of the heathen forever.  It is difficult to see that rebuilding the navy alone is not enough to resist the Qin people's attacks from the sky. I suggest that we send people to negotiate with the Qin people. We might as well offer some benefits to the Qin people, and everything will be easier.  " Faqir Ahmed sneered: "The Qin people killed 50,000 heroic soldiers of the empire and occupied the entire Caucasus region. They are the life and death enemy of the empire. How can they"  "Ahem!" Grand Vizier Muhammad Pasha interrupted his son's words with a cough at the right time, and then said slowly, "Bapreis's words are very reasonable. What the empire is facing now is not only the invasion from the Sea of ??Marmara.  Threat. There is also the Qin army in the Caucasus and the Safavid army in the direction of Dagda; I heard that Abbas II has sent a princess to marry the Emperor of Qin. The two countries are likely to form an alliance. If this is the case  The Qin army and the Safavid army in the Caucasus will attack from both sides, which will be very detrimental to the empire. Therefore, not only must the Qin navy withdraw from the Christian combined fleet, but the alliance between Qin and the Safavid army must also be broken up.  At least we can prevent these two powerful enemies from joining forces to deal with the empire." Bapres was very proud to see Muhammad Pasha agreeing with him.  In the huge dome palace.  Everyone was talking about what price they had to pay to get the Qin people to retreat.  Muhammad Pasha then said: "It is imperative to negotiate with the people of Qin. Since this strategy was thought up by Bapres, then Bapres should be responsible for negotiating with the people of Qin."  Bapreis's face instantly became extremely gloomy *********************************  ****************** ps: Bow and thank vipvertu, Wing 1470, Starry Sky Wanderer, Mo Xuan 001, qsuiarcoliu, drank too much last night, €ÄСÓê€Ä, Feihang is  Tian, ??Sheng Degong, apple.,, Guang'er, Illusory Old Potato, linhuang_200, Lonely Scholar m, Zize Kongxue, fw1, Sparrow Qianyuan, Tiance.True Dragon, Zhou Bi, Bei Kong, Free Walker,  The sword is exquisite, the moon reflects on a thousand rivers, I am so busy, the person who buys a car, I want to smoke well, the sky is light and the stars are few, rocking and rolling 718, Eagle knife¡ï, 330302, Ba Bajie quit, Hou Dian weeping  , Wei Kaijiang, Love Song of the Blue Sea, Looking for Your Own Person, ¡î•[œaHan¡î, Stepping Down to the Dead, Wilderness and Desert, ps110, Wandering Around, Thousands of Miles in the Forest, yhy tiger, Panda * Egret, .screamfire, & Crescent Moon Soaring into the Sky  &, anal dripping roar, is a bloodthirsty law, neither left nor leftRight choose to take the middle path, Long Yin Yue, Horse Selling Chicken Jiuye, Diving Little Fat Boy, Dancing Firebird, xmqianbenhui, Exhaust gas is harmful to health, knightstar, Night Walker, All Air, Me, Magic Dragon Boy, I Want  Xunxin, Magic Star God, Big Sweet Potato 520, Zhongyou 1104181817, guwangjinlai, Youyujishi 1, Autumn Divine Light, Maple Forest Mist, I am Nuomi Pig, Star Devouring Mentor, Xiaobao**, Melancholy 8888, Sui  & Feng Jun 14, Desert Bookworm, Time flies, Desert Spring, Bitter Fish, Powerful to the Heart, Green Jing, Refuse to Pretend.
