However, these follow-up matters do not need to worry about Admiral Trevel and Tayip Pasha. For them, the most important thing now is to "bring the remaining brave to chase the poor" and immediately go to Tunisia and Morocco. Strive for greater victory, more benefits.

But after all, I spent a lot of time in Tripoli, so the effect of the raid was naturally impossible to achieve. When they came to Tunisia, they found that something went wrong in the Tunis port, as if—as if they had just been burned by a fire.

Ahdi Pasha of Tunisia had already seen Yusuf Pasha who had fled, and knew from his mouth the terrible weapons like sky fire used by the evil pagans and the terrible fire it caused. The news also made Ahdi Pasha distraught.

"My friend, you mean, the fort can't stop them at all, and if you deploy troops in the harbor, you will be attacked by fire... This, how will this battle be fought! This is completely impossible to fight." There was no one around. Ahdi Pasha was not afraid of damaging morale, so he said directly.

"How many mines did you buy?" Yusuf Pasha asked.

Ahdi Pasha was stunned for a while, and after a while, he said, "My friend, you know, those British guys are asking very high prices. They are slaughtering us like fat sheep, so I... don't know the emergency. Is it too late to place an order from them?"

"What a god!" Youssef was also startled, "you buy very little?"

"I want to buy a few fewer, but those British pagans, really... They immediately increased the unit price when they heard that I was going to reduce the order quantity. As a result, when I got angry, I just..."

"Just what?"

"I didn't buy one at all!" Ahdi Pasha said, crying.

"Are the British businessmen still there?"

"Yes, yes. I will find them now and buy all the goods in their hands." Ahdi Pasha quickly stood up.

"My friend, don’t hurry, first find out, where are their goods? Is it near our port? If their goods are in Gibraltar, or even in the UK. Then even if he doesn’t give you a penny, It’s meaningless. The Turks and French won’t give us so much time. In addition, I estimate that their prices will be higher, but in any case, the mines can be regarded as causing damage to our enemies in previous operations. The most threatening weapon."

"Okay, I'll get someone to do this right away. My friend, if... I mean if those British mines are still in Gibraltar,-what should I do?"

"My friend, mines have a certain effect, but they are not completely useful. They can use the high tide to avoid the danger of mines. Of course, this also limits the time they can use for offensive every day. Now our most important thing is how The kind of rain to deal with them. I have an idea..."

Yusuf Pasha believes that the reason why such a big fire in Tripoli was caused is entirely because there are too many wooden houses and wooden roofs. Therefore, in order to avoid the fire, Yusuf Pasha suggested to immediately remove all the roofs of the houses in the port area, as well as other combustible materials. To avoid being attacked by opponents.

But cleaning these things is too much trouble. So the progress of this matter has been very slow. But soon news about what the Turks and the French did in Tripoli came. The news suddenly strengthened the determination of the Barbary pirates to resist to the end.

"It is impossible for us to negotiate with them, let alone surrender to them. Selim III, the tyrant, needs a lot of land to buy his followers. Besides from us, who else can he get land from? You see, all The farmer who stayed in Tripoli, has anyone saved his property and head? We can’t give what they want, because what they want is everything we have, including our heads. So in addition to resisting to the end, we just There is no other way to go!" After getting the exact news, Ahdi Pasha gathered his officers and said to them.

As a result, the speed of demolition has accelerated a bit, but at this speed, it is still impossible to complete the entire fire demolition work before the arrival of the Turks and French. Finally, an officer had a sudden idea and came up with a better way.

"Honorable Pasha," the officer said, "I think why don't we set a fire on our own? This way, at most, we can get rid of all the combustibles."

The houses near the port area were poor people’s houses, and it didn’t hurt if they burned. So Ahdi Pasha thought about it and thought it was a good idea. So he gave the order and the soldiers immediately took action to remove those poor people. Kicked out of their house, and then lit a fire by himself.

But perhaps because the clean-up work was not done in place, many residents had not been driven out, and the fire had already burned. As a result, many civilians were burnt to death, and even some soldiers responsible for arson were trapped in the sea of ​​flames and burned to death because of poor coordination.

So now, when the combined fleet of France and Turkey appears off the coast of Tunisia, Tunisia in front of them has become like this.

The first round of the coalition's operations, of course, was the tentative attack by the Turkish fleet. The first was to see if it could lure the fort to fire, and then the French used high-explosive shells to sweep the cannon and artillery on the fort in one breath And light. The second is to see if the rebels have arranged a lot of mines outside the port~lightnovelpub.net~ As a result, only one cannon fired on the most obvious fort of the Barbary pirates, while the French Well, I thought it was too wasteful to use high-explosive shells for a gun, and I insisted on not firing for it. And when approaching the port, no mines were encountered.

The British told Ahdi Pasha that their mines were on ships outside the port, and as long as they paid the deposit, they could be sent to the port immediately, and then they would pay for it and deliver it.

Ahdi Pasha’s people followed the British on board their ship outside the port, and they really saw the mines on board. Then, the deposit was paid, and the British sold the mines to them both for payment and delivery. It's just that the British secretly replaced the concentrated sulfuric acid in the fuze with distilled water. Some have replaced the nitrated starch in the mine body with real starch-half a month ago, the British government had notified them not to sell mines to Barbary pirates.

The Barbary pirates who lack scientific knowledge can't see the trickiness in it. Then the British went home with the payment.
