Compared with the ancestors who plundered the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa, Abdulaziz I could be called a good baby. Since he succeeded to the throne, he has been kind to his neighbors, was cautious in diplomacy, and avoided conflicts with European powers as much as possible.

Apart from taking the blame for the Russians in the Prussian-Russian War, Abdulaziz I did not initiate a war on his own initiative. It can be said that he was one of the few pacifists among the sultans of all generations.

Moreover, the last war was full of inside information. If it weren't for the secret instigation of the great powers, Abdulaziz I would have chosen to be a spectator.

Of course, he, a "pacifist", was not a voluntary act. It was because the enemy around him was too strong and he could not win, so he could only choose peace.

You always have to pay back when you go out. When the Ottoman Empire was strong, it was time to make enemies everywhere, and now it was a price to pay.

You can't just let you bully others and not let others take revenge? This is not the case when the Ottoman Empire declined. Austria and Russia both came to take revenge. If it weren't for the lack of strength, maybe Persia next door would have made a move.

Now Persia and the Ottoman Empire are bad brothers and are both in decline. Due to geographical location, the Ottoman Empire is neighbors with two major powers at the same time, so the tragedy is earlier.

In contrast, the Persians in the east are much better, and they only need to face the British. At least they still have hope of winning. More than a decade ago, the Persians smashed a British invasion.

With a cold shout of "hum", Abdulaziz I tore the battle report in his hand into pieces. There is no doubt that it is bad news again. Abdulaziz I was about to go crazy these days.

"Yesterday the Austrians just besieged Jerusalem, and today the Bosphorus Strait fell again. Will it be a few days later that the Dardanelles will be lost and waiting for the enemy to parade in Ankara?"

Everyone lowered their heads and said nothing. It was not that the Ottoman army did not work hard, but that the gap between the two sides was too big. The Russians did not just fight wars. Within a month after the outbreak of the war, the Russian army landed from five ports one after another.

Before the reinforcements sent by the Sudanese government came, the landing Russian troops had already evacuated and changed their ports to continue the attack.

It seems that there is not much result in the victory, but in fact it has caused quite a lot of harm to the Ottoman Empire. The scorched earth policy has been implemented along the way, and a large number of people in the coastal areas were forced to migrate to the inland areas.

While fighting against the enemy, the Sudanese government must also shoulder the important task of resettling war refugees. Don’t look at the powerful accusation of Abdulaziz I, and ask all the people and the enemy to fight to the end. This is not the case in actual operation.

After the Russians conquered a place, they began to sabotage the first time, such as destroying farmland, burning houses, destroying landmark buildings, and expelling local people into the inland areas.

The coastline of the Ottoman Empire was too long and it was impossible to focus on defense all. Areas with weak forces allowed the enemy to take advantage of loopholes.

Every time the Russian army successfully landed, the Ottoman Empire would have tens of thousands more, or even tens of thousands more war refugees. The law does not responsibilities the masses to apply to the Ottoman Empire, and the Sudanese government would not be able to hold so many people responsible for their escape.

People always have to eat. In just one time, hundreds of thousands of refugees appeared in the Ottoman Empire. To save so many disaster victims, the Sudanese government, which was not prepared in advance, was in a hurry.

It would be fine if other supplies were not high, but the Ottoman people had no high demands, just stuttering. This simplest requirement made the Sudanese government feel embarrassed.

Seeing the decreasing grain in stocks, Abdulaziz I saw it and was anxious. Now that the Bosphorus Strait is falling, this means that there will be an increase in war refugees.

It can hold on for a day or two. If the war lasts for a year or two, the Ottoman government will not have so much reserves of grain.

The War Minister Elmod replied nervously: "Your Majesty, the enemy has the advantage of maritime and is coming and going on the battlefield like the wind. Before our reinforcements arrived, they evacuated early and would not fight us at all."

This explanation obviously cannot satisfy Abdulaziz I: "There are indeed some of these problems in other regions, but the Bosphorus was fought all the way by the Russian army. Don't tell me, do you have no time to mobilize reinforcements?"

The number of Ottoman troops stationed in the Bosphorus Strait exceeded 200,000, while the attacking Russian troops were only about 100,000. On the surface, the Ottoman troops had absolute military strength, but unfortunately they were defeated.

Wars cannot only depend on the number, but more on the deployment of troops. It seems that the number of Ottoman troops is larger, but in fact they have to divide their troops to garrison in various places. When fighting with the Russian army, the troops do not have the advantage.

Elmöd hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, although the Bosphorus Strait has been lost, it has also damaged the Russian army. The Russian army that landed in the short term has lost the ability to continue to launch a war.

We are mobilizing heavy troops to drive them into the sea.

Now that the Russian-Polish war breaks out, the Tsarist government should not increase its troops anymore. On the surface, we lost this battle, but the strategic situation is developing in a favorable direction for us."

This explanation is enough to fool Abdulaziz I, who failed the military ability. Subconsciously, Abdulaziz I wanted to hear good news.

As for whether the counterattack plan can be realized, it doesn’t matter anymore. The battlefield changes so much, and it’s normal to have some accidents.

The Interior Minister Muhammadha, who saw the problem, frowned and glanced at the Sudan's face. He decisively chose to pretend to be stupid.

After hesitating for a while, maybe he was uneasy in his conscience, or maybe he was worried that the ship of the Ottoman Empire would sink and everyone would be finished.

Muhammada reminded in a vague way: "As of now, domestic war refugees have exceeded the 750,000 mark, and this number is already very dangerous.

If we continue to increase, we don’t have that much food relief, and it is likely to cause chaos at that time.”

It is not that it may cause chaos, but that it will inevitably cause chaos. The Ottoman Empire has only a population of more than 16 million, and the number of refugees has accounted for 47 of the total population.

With so many people losing their livelihoods, there are not so many jobs in China, and they can only rely on government relief to live.

If the battlefield continues to fail, the number of refugees will continue to rise. The Ottoman Empire is not a major grain-producing country, and overseas trade is blocked again, and the number of refugees continues to increase, and the outbreak of a food crisis is almost an inevitable result.

The actual situation will be even worse. So many people do nothing every day and just wait for government relief. Public security is a big problem.

These words will naturally be interpreted differently when they fall into the ears of different people. Originally, they were to put pressure on the military, but Abdulaziz I heard it changed.

"In order to save food, we will treat refugees differently in the future, and give priority to the blessing of our own people. Let them fend for the rest!

The gathering of refugees is also a problem, and the government finds ways to disperse them. If you can’t think of a way, let the pagans make room for them.”

After hearing the Sudan's words, Muhammadah broke out in a cold sweat. Do you think the country is not messy enough? If someone else says it, he will think he has been bribed by the enemy and come to the Ottoman Empire specifically for the cholera.

Originally, the Ottoman Empire had serious religious contradictions. Now, treating them differently is not forcing others to rebel?

With internal and external cooperation, internal and external troubles, two idioms have already emerged in Muhammad's mind and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, no!

Now it is in a war period, and there must be no chaos in the country. If the conflicts are intensified now, the pagan may collude with the enemy, and the empire will be in danger at that time."

Unfortunately, Abdulaziz I was no longer the ambitious sultan who had just succeeded to the throne, but the brainless sultan who was defeated by reality and gave up.

Before 1872, Abdulaziz I's performance was still a wise ruler. He was resting with the people in internal affairs, establishing universities, establishing legislative codes, and secular reforms to the Ottoman Empire.

Under the strong backlash from the conservatives, the Ottoman reform failed in 1872, and Abdulaziz I fell and was no longer awesome.

When doing things more and more radically, I can't listen to advice at all. When facing religious issues and nationalities, I don't want to solve the problem from the root, and directly and roughly suppress it by force.

Original time and space Abdulaziz I was overthrowing and overthrew by the people in 1876 and finally died of depression.

If you do as Abdulaziz I wish, maybe you don’t have to wait two years later, and maybe you will have to change your master here in two months.
