The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 1880: Food matters

Saif Pasha joked: "Why, after eating our meal, I want to keep eating?"

"Yes, this bowl of rice is worth eating!" Muayyed said.

In the leisure time after the meal, he and Saif Pasha drank Chinese black tea while chatting.

Muayyed is the senior administrator of Krenkh City. He said that he has always been in charge of logistics and that he assisted the central officials from Istanbul to manage the logistics when the Ottoman army was dispatched. He knew exactly what the army and the people were eating.

Among the various armies, the Central Army eats the best, but even the Central Army’s standard of food is not as good as before. As for the servants, what they eat. Some armies are even hungry. The state, especially the Chinese people’s "general war", paid great attention to cracking down on the Ottoman Empire’s grain economy. For example, the Chinese exported large quantities of luxury goods, tea, tobacco, etc. to the Ottoman Empire, but they would never export a grain of grain to the Ottomans.

"The Chinese eat so well for you, and they treat us sincerely!" Muayyed said: "Salt and bread are the most precious gifts in the world. The Chinese are willing to give us these things without any malice!"

If the Chinese let them eat bad food and use them as cannon fodder, then the Chinese would be ill-intentioned and unkind.

Saif Pasha said in the same way: "It's important to eat, and the Chinese are very punctual when they pay their food!"

So Muayyed reached an agreement with Saif Pasha. After returning, he let the Chinese get the city of Klenhe. He also contributed two thousand great boys in the city to join the Ottoman Solidarity Army. Muayyed told those a little uneasy guys. They said: "You will not regret it, we did not betray you!"

If so, the boys settled down completely after eating a few more meals and strictly obeyed the orders of the Chinese instructors.

Details determine success or failure. For the senior officials of the Southeast, it is natural to let the officers and soldiers eat well, but they did not expect to gain the hearts of the servants.

Almost all the servants eat well—at least better than their domestic civilians.

Later, Baotou and Baipi couldn't beat the Chinese regular army, and even the servant army couldn't win. They didn't understand why they were so desperate.

Because they still want to eat this bowl of rice!

...

Saif Pasha did his best to lead the way, but in the current situation, he can only surrender 10% of the city and wait and see 20%, and the rest of the city is stubborn to the end.

Of course, as the lost cities increased and the Ottomans were defeated, he gained more and more.

The army of servants under his command is also increasing, reaching ten thousand people. This kind of power is not weak.

He followed the Chinese to launch a political offensive and directly attacked the city. He has done a great job. Many cities fell into the hands of the Chinese because of him. As a result, he broke a reputation in the Ottoman Empire and made Baotou hate it. To the bones, the great Vizier and the young Koplulu believed that his harm to the Ottoman Empire amounted to 200,000 troops. The Sudan offered 300,000 silver dollars as a reward for his head, and continued to send people to assassinate him, and the Chinese repeatedly strengthened against him. The security is just hard to guard against.

One night, Saif Pasha was dining with the generals in the barracks, and 15 killers suddenly appeared. Due to the protection of the generals, Saif Pasha was safe and sound.

A year later, Saif Pasha was attacked again while visiting the village. A killer stabbed him in the cheek, but he was immediately chopped to death by his men. Several other killers were also killed, Saif Pasha. The armor on Xia's chest was pierced, and blood was dripping back to the station.

After the Chinese learned about it, a senior military officer ordered the sale of all the people within ten miles of the attacked location, and the money was given to Saif Pasha to be shocked!

The Ottomans always wanted him to die, but he had a long life, and his ministers were always loyal to him, because they found that Saif Pasha was trusted by the Chinese and he could do whatever he wanted---this is also him. Older and more experienced, and knowing how to advance and retreat, the Chinese will give him face, and the generals know very well that if Saif Pasha falls, then everyone may not have such a happy life, so some people want to buy it with 10,000 silver dollars. When his ministry was in charge, that ministry would take the lead, and as a result, a spy agency of the Ottoman Empire was exposed and hundreds of people were implicated.

Saif Pasha was originally a lone star of the evil gods. His family did not exist because of the plague. Under the kind care of the Chinese, he married four powerful daughters from Syria and Egypt. As a result, the RP broke out and gave birth to ten. A child, the family is closely guarded by the Chinese.

When he went to visit his family, he took a Chinese cruise ship and left, and all the ships that dared to follow were sunk. Therefore, the Ottomans could not know his family situation, let alone threaten him with his family, so he was relieved. The ground galloping on the battlefield caused extremely serious harm to the Ottoman Empire!

...

Adana City.

Located in the northeastern corner of the Mediterranean Sea, the city’s defenses are extremely impressive. The word "extreme" is used to simply compare with the defenses of Constantinople.

The inner wall of Constantinople is 5 meters thick and 12 meters high; the distance between the outer wall and the inner wall is 15-20 meters, and the height is about 8.5 meters.

Adana City is also a double-layered city wall, the inner wall is 3 meters thick and 12 meters high, the distance between the outer wall and the inner wall is 8 meters, and the height is about 8 meters.

It has a moat with a width of 15 meters and a water depth of 10 meters. There is a 1.5-meter-high wall with a shooting port on the inside of the river. This is the first line of defense for Adana.

The walls don’t let the enemy get close to the city. Once you lose your defense, throw bombs down the city!

Such a city defense can be regarded as a small Constantinople.

The city’s defender Babel Pasha is a master~lightnovelpub.net~ In terms of offense, he created a musket team that fires 60 rounds of live ammunition each year. In terms of defense, he has built this majestic Ada. The city defense of Nacheng is as indestructible as a copper wall and an iron wall.

He humbly asked Burhan Pasha, who was assisting in defense, to give some suggestions. Burhan Pasha was muran, thinking that the defense of Marash City where he was located was a city wall, which was 5 meters thick and less than 10 meters high, and there was no moat... And Babel Pasha is still worrying about where the protection is impossible.

Of course, the geographical location of Adana City is different from Marash City. Adana City is close to the sea and is exactly where the Chinese marched on. Marash City is located inland. The Chinese should not attack there. The military expenses given are also different, but it is ridiculous to see how worried Babel Pasha looks, and to think that he still wanted to use mountain insurance to block the Chinese before.

Since Burhan Pasha "lost the street pavilion", he was considered enthusiastic, and he led the remnants to help Adana City. Babel Pasha was overjoyed and asked him to join the city to defend.

Now that Adana City has such a city defense, with 50,000 soldiers, it can mobilize 50,000 young people to help defend the city, and there is also food that can be used for two years. There is no shortage of water sources and a large amount of military resources. It is waiting for the arrival of the Chinese. Compete with them!
