After this speech, Victor was quite optimistic about his prospects for competing with the Holy See for control of these Christians. After all, compared to Bishop Torres, there are too many resources available in his hands. It's like France when facing the Holy See.

Of course, the most important thing right now is the distribution of land. Bishop Torres hopes to distribute the land as soon as possible, but Victor is not in a hurry, because the distribution of land is a very important power, and using it well can quickly establish his own team among these Christians. So he delayed the matter on the grounds that he still needed to understand these Christians in order to distribute the land in a relatively organized manner.

"Bishop, I know that the believers are eager to get land. But they have waited for this day for several generations. If you wait a few more days, what's the big deal? And the distribution of land will affect them all their lives. It will even affect their sons, grandchildren, and even more future generations. Now if we don’t think about it well, it’s how many generations will be damaged. So, the more this time, the less we can be impatient." Victor said Bishop Torres, who came to discuss with him how to allocate the land.

As he spoke, he took out a map. This is a map drawn according to a new projection method. Compared with the previous map, this kind of map is more accurate and easier to use.

"Bishop, look. This is the land allocated to us, mainly in these places." Victor pointed these lands to Bishop Torres on the map with his hand.

"Why aren't they connected?" Bishop Torres asked, frowning. He noticed that the land of these Christians is one piece to the east and one piece to the west.

"Because those infidels insisted on drawing lots to determine the ownership of the land." Victor explained, "drawing lots, naturally it was like this."

At this point, Victor lied. In fact, it insists on using lottery to determine the ownership of land, so it is not the Turks, but the French who have made the land belonging to Christians so scattered.

In Victor's view, the current situation will definitely lead to a situation where Christians live in small groups and large groups. Living together in large numbers means that they have a lot of dealings with infidels, and they are prone to conflicts. The village structure in small groups prevents them from being completely incapable of self-defense in the event of changes. Of course, without the support of the French, they can't hold on for long. This is the situation that best meets the needs of France's interests.

On the contrary, if Christians live together in one place, they can dig a trench around their own land, and then come to a religious isolation based entirely on voluntary. In this way, there are fewer opportunities for them to conflict with the heretics, fewer places for the French to use, and less dependence on France. It is naturally difficult for the French to drive them.

"You have seen the bishop," Victor continued. "This distribution will greatly increase the chances of infidels and our believers. It is good for preaching to infidels. Of course, this also increases the occurrence of infidels. Opportunities for friction. However, we can’t stop spreading the truth to those heretics, can we? Some heretics are actually good. They just failed to hear the Lord’s gospel because of misfortune.”

"Of course." Bishop Torres said. Although according to the agreement between France and Turkey, the Holy See can only provide services to existing Christians and cannot preach freely, but if it is not for preaching, what does the Holy See Baba come here for? Therefore, preaching must be preached.

"But once there is a conflict. Look at each village, the population that can be accommodated is quite small. If the village organization is weak, it is easy to be bullied by the infidels. Therefore, we must ensure that each village has the ability, It is the person who can unite the whole village. Only in this way can their interests be guaranteed. So, you see, the bishop, the distribution of land is really not anxious, right?"

So Bishop Torres also had to admit that the distribution of relevant land must be careful and meticulous.

"So, Consul Trevel, how do you plan to distribute?" Bishop Torres asked.

"I plan to give all the families of believers a grade. This grade does not involve other things, only their appeal and combat effectiveness. The family with the most appeal and combat effectiveness is preset as the village head, and priority is given to them. The village allocates land, and then allocates different other families and individuals according to the village's defense conditions." Victor replied.

The principle in this answer is absolutely no problem, but the selection of candidates and the distribution of land can be used to win over a group of people. This intention is so obvious that Bishop Torres can naturally see it. But it is one thing to see, but whether there is a way is another. As far as the power in his hand is concerned, there are not many places where Bishop Torres can intervene.

Just when Victor was really busy leading a group of liberated Christians to divide the fields, in Tunisia, after a long siege, the French and Turkish forces finally broke through the Barbary pirates and seized the city. For this, both armies have paid a considerable price.

The French army consumed almost all of the remaining high-explosive bombs, while the Turks suffered another five to six thousand casualties. As for the Barbary pirates, Ahdi Pasha died in battle. Before his death, he had his wife and concubine killed, and he entrusted his son to his captain of the guard to take him to break through. However, his captain of the guard failed to break out, so Ahdi Pasha's son will be sent to Istanbul, this very delicate little guy, may become a very delicate little **** in the future.

The French fleet will be at sea for a long time, so it needs to be supplemented by Toulon. As for the Turks, after such a hard fight, the losses are not small, and they need a good rest. So the battlefield temporarily calmed down. The French naval fleet returned to Toulon. As for the Turks, most of them went ashore and repaired on the shore.

But just two days after the departure of the French fleet, the Turkish fleet was suddenly attacked. There is no moon on this day, so the night is very dark, and almost nothing can be seen on the sea. But some Moroccan pirates quietly approached the Turk fleet.

Leading the team is Hassan Pasha from Morocco — ah, no, it should be Hasama Sultan’s nephew Osama. After Turkey declared Hasan Pasha a rebellion and declared war on him, he decisively declared Morocco's independence and declared himself a Sudan.

Osama brought five ships this time. But these ships are not pirate ships, but some small sailing ships, or even more accurately, they should be called sailboats. They all have only a low mast, a gray-black vertical sail, and eight oarsmen.

This kind of ship can't be a pirate ship, at least not in this era. Maybe going back to the era of Xerxes and Temistocles, it is capable of pirate trading. But even if they returned to that era, they were not eligible to participate in the Salami battle, and they had to avoid the navy of that era. But now, Usama has to bring a team of these ships to challenge a fleet that is far behind by the standards of this era, but has an overwhelming advantage in the era of Salamis.

Osama did this not to go crazy, but because he had a magic weapon that he did not have in that era-explosives.

There are dozens of bombs on each ship, and each bomb has dozens of kilograms of charge. Once it explodes, it is enough to blow a sail battleship like the Victory into pieces, even " Iron-clad battleships like the "Inberdore" may not be able to retreat in such an explosion. It's just that it's not easy for this kind of ship to get close to the "Inbrado".

In order to complete this attack, Usama deliberately chose such a moonless night. This way, the visibility is lower, and the enemy's observation post is more difficult to see. On the other hand, his ships are relatively low and the Turks are taller. So when the people on the Turkish warship looked towards him, the background was the dark sea. To see the same pitch-black boat in the pitch-black sea is as difficult as finding a black cat in a pile of coal. Maybe his boat is under the nose of others, and they may not be able to see it.

But looking from his ship to the Turk's warship, it was different. The Turks' warships are much taller, so they are looking up at the Turkish warships. The background of the Turkish warships becomes a relatively bright sky. In this way, they can see the Turks from farther away.

In fact, this small fleet has been here for two or three days. For these two or three days, they have been hiding in a bay, and Osama has been watching the Turk fleet. He found that the Turks were too relaxed. The warship was parked at the prescribed berth and never moved. Moreover, there were not many guards placed nearby.

Usama is very familiar with the terrain in this area, so even if he can only see a little fuzzy shadow with the help of starlight, he can quietly approach the port with his fleet. And just as he expected, the Turkish fleet, which was negligent, had no preparatory work until their arrival.

Osama told the oarsmen to stop paddling so that the sound of the oars would not be heard. He even lowered the sail. He was familiar with the currents in this area, and these currents would bring them to the Turkish ships by themselves.

The boat drifted past quietly, but the Turks were still unaware. Osama's ship quietly approached a Turkish warship and leaned on it. Osama used a small hand drill to drill a hole in the boat. Then a big nail was stuffed in, and then a bomb was hung on the big iron nail.

This is a time bomb, provided to them by an honest and reliable British businessman. With the help of a small French-made flashlight, he carefully set the explosion time, then turned off the flashlight and approached another ship...

But perhaps because the true **** hasn't considered clearly who should bless him, Osama's luck seemed to have suddenly deteriorated at first. While the other boat was drilling a hole, it made a little movement, welcoming the attention of the sentry. But at this critical moment, the true **** suddenly stood on the side of the pirate again, and the sentry looked around, but didn't find the boat just under his nose.

In this way, in one night, Osama and his men put time bombs on fifty Turkish warships, and then they retreated quietly.

At about four o'clock in the morning, the bombs exploded one after another. Each bomb blasted a warship to pieces. In just one night, the Turks lost fifty warships and hundreds of soldiers in the port they had controlled.

This sudden blow made Tayippasha furious. He felt that after he went back, he might not have any good results. It's like when Grand Vizierkara Mustafa Basha was killed by the furious sultan after his defeat in the Battle of Vienna.

On the other hand, he also understands that after suffering such a blow, he may only be able to suggest, like the French, for further "borrowing troops to help suppress" requests. So he immediately sent an envoy to Toulon in a clipper to ask for help from his French allies. At the same time, with the help of the French communication system, the latest situation was reported to the great Turkish Sultan Selim III ~lightnovelpub.net~ After another week, the French fleet returned to Tunisia again, but this time the French fleet Its scale has been expanded a bit, and some smaller steamships have been added.

After another half a month, the French official reinforcements arrived. They were six strangely shaped steamships with square bows and flat-bottomed structures. This structure makes the draught of this kind of ship very shallow. As for why they chose the square bow with greater resistance, Taipu Pasha is not clear. He only knew that this kind of ship was called the landing ship by the French.

Two days later, Taipu Pasha also received the handling of him by the Sultan Selim III who was relayed by the French. The benevolent Sultan only rebuked him, and did not condemn him, but he also asked him to commit his crimes and make meritorious service to end the war as quickly as possible.

After the French reinforcements arrived, the Turks left behind more garrisons, (anyway, there are a lot fewer ships, and these people have nowhere to install), they set off again with the French fleet to the next target-Monaco This is also the most powerful country among the Barbary countries.

A few days later, the combined fleet arrived near the port of Casablanca, the largest and most important port in Monaco. The most important battle of this war is about to begin.
