After returning to the Ottoman Empire from London, Mo San has been recuperating in Smyrna recently. [As old as he is, his physical function is not as good as before, so he can no longer work hard all day long, gradually cultivate and support young people, and then let young people take the lead. This is what a person like him who is 5 years old should do.

For example, Mo San is now focusing on cultivating two people. One is Gao Wengang, the son of Gao Mo, a veteran of diplomatic circles. He is now studying with Mo San. Mo San plans to observe and teach him for two years, and then try to let him manage a business station. After accumulating some experience, he can consider letting him be responsible for one aspect of affairs alone.

The other is a time traveler from the navy. Li Qing, 37, was a junior high school student before crossing the country. After ten years of paperwork in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he strongly asked to join the Navy after he was strongly requested to join the Navy. In the end, he was "returned" by the Navy in less than a year - it was not the material. After being transferred to the Navy as a staff officer for many years, this guy recently retired from the rank of captain in the Navy, and was sent to Smyrna to help with Mo San.

Mo San was also very troubled about how to arrange such time travelers who were not as good as high or low. After all, no matter how they were not in tune, they were also time travelers. They were "one of their own people". They should not be neglected or neglected. So, after thinking about it, Mo San decided to save this guy, train him in diplomatic affairs, and hand him some simple tasks. For example, Made, who was originally responsible for the female slave trade in Kafa, recently went to The Hague, Netherlands to serve as the permanent diplomatic ambassador to the East Coast Republic of China (it may be upgraded to ambassador in the future). No one took over the affairs here. Mo San thought about it and handed it over to Li Qing, who is said to love blondes. See if this kid is not able to make it.

The result was quite satisfactory to Mo San. The handover between Li Qing, a "young man", and the Azov Chamber of Commerce, was smooth. Although the operation of the Kafa Trading Station cannot be said to be very outstanding, at least there were no mistakes. The matter of making friends with local Ottoman officials and nearby Tatar nobles was also carried out in an orderly manner, and the work was basically qualified - if you ignore the fact that he was jailed and robbed himself for a few months after taking office, he made two female slaves' stomachs bigger.

Mo San felt relieved and stayed in Smyrna as a turtle. This was not the reason. Nowadays, the heart of the Ottoman Empire, is shrouded in another coup storm. Great Vizitane Hoku Ahmed (in recent years, Ottoman exchanged prime ministers, and on average, each term can only work for one or two years, and only two or three years), the palace eunuch Suleiman Aga, Sultan's biological mother Turhan, the army, the most popular prince Suleiman, and the rebellious local rebel leaders of the Serrari were about to join forces to set off a battle in Istanbul that determines the future direction of the empire.

At this time, Mo San felt that he would be better off as far as he could. Anyway, given the entanglement of interests between the Ottoman Empire and the East Coast Republic of China, no matter who comes to power, he will be in harmony with the East Coast, especially when the Dardanelles are still blocked by the Venetian fleet, this connection is even closer.

However, as the plenipotentiary of the Eastern Coast Republic to the Ottoman Empire, Mo San could not last long even if he hid in Smyrna. On February 1, Kara Murad, the former leader of the Ghanishari Legion who had already been dismissed from the position of Great Vizi, came to the door. Mo Sanyi thought he was coming to buy equipment for the Ottoman Army, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was shocked.

"You mean, you are already an admiral now?" Mo San widened his eyes and looked at Murad Aga with an incredible look - Oh, no, maybe he should be called Kara Murad Pasha now, the noble Ottoman Navy Pasha!

"This is really crazy!" said Mo San. "The transformation from the world-famous Ghanishari Legion to the navy is too big and unbelievable."

"But this is true, Mo, my friend." Kara Muradpasha picked up a cup of coffee, took a sip and said, "My task is to break the Venetian blockade of the Dardanelles. This is very important. Mo, I want to ask your help. Now the maritime traffic between Egypt, Syria and Istanbul has been completely cut off. The Rumili area also had a poor harvest last year. The situation is not very optimistic. The hungry soldiers will riot at any time. They have this tradition. In addition, the Sivas area is also hosted by a large number of Serrari rebels, and what's worse, these rebels have backstage in the palace. The Ottoman Empire has now entered a critical moment."

"It's such a mess." Mo San shook his head and commented, "So you urgently need to break the Venetian blockade of the Dardanelles, so that wheat from Egypt and Syria can be transported into Istanbul, and at the same time, a large number of soldiers and materials can be transported into Crete through Alexander to support the army fighting on the front line?"

"Yes, I need more warships and artillery!" Kara Muradpasha said bluntly, "The warships we ordered from your country at the beginning, and to this day, only the 'Bayjed' is still alive. However, the sailors who drove her were a group of cowards. They would rather hide under the protection of the coastal defense turret than go out to fight the Venetians. I have just taken over the navy for a while, and these borers will be cleaned sooner or later. Of course, before this, I need to order multiple warships from your country to enhance the strength of our navy. Hassan will come to discuss this with you in detail later. Please be sure to help. The people of Allah will always remember this friendship."

"I will try my best to communicate with the local government for this." Mo San did not dare to agree, so he just agreed vaguely: "There is no problem with sail guard gunboats and fast cruisers. Battleships may be a bit troublesome, but I will try my best to strive for it. In addition, there are more than 50 naval chief guns in the Chinese commercial station in Smyrna that have been stored for a long time, so you can pick up the goods now."

"Very good, I feel much more at ease now!" Kara Muradpasha happily patted Mo San's shoulder and said, "Previously, the empire's vassals in North Africa - such as the Governor of Algiers and others - gathered some warships, intending to reintegrate our navy, and then fight to the death with the Venetians. The blockade of the Dardanelles was completely lifted. Before that, maybe I still have some questions about whether this battle can be won. But now I feel much more sure."

Mo San also cooperated and smiled. He didn't know whether the Ottoman navy, composed of North African Pirate King fleet in history, had defeated the Venetians and lifted the blockade of the Dardanelles, but since these artillery could enhance Muradpasha's confidence in victory, Mo San was naturally happy to sell it all.

However, the Ottoman navy is tragic now. In recent years, almost every battle with the Venetians will suffer a considerable loss. I don’t know whether it is the reason for ships and tactics, or the personnel quality, or both. In short, they are suffering from exchange rates in naval battles. The Venetians often only need to pay a small price to achieve good results - and this obviously also explains why the battleship "Bayerzid" bought from the east coast has been huddled in the port and has become a fleet of existence, and it turns out that they have lost confidence.

"In addition, there is another thing that may be your help..." Speaking of this, Kara Muradpasha, who has always been quick-talking, was also hesitant, and he said in a slightly begging tone: "You also know that since the Sultan of Muhammad regained power, the lives of the Ghanishari Legion and the Sipahi Legion have been much sad. Now there are even rumors in the palace that the army needs to be cleaned, which makes many soldiers panic, so..."

Mo San didn't say anything, and waited quietly for Muradpasha to continue to speak. He had lived in the Ottoman Empire for so many years. He knew the cruel rules of the game in this country. The Ghanishari Legion was forced to end the three-year military control because of his ineffective resistance to the Venetians, which allowed Sultan Muhammad to rule in advance. Since the Sultan has taken power, will they have a good life for the former domineering soldiers?

Muradpasha, Commander Bektash and other respected military generals may be fine, but a large number of middle and low-level generals and soldiers under their command are destined to be purged by political forces that have risen after the Sudan took power. The end of waiting for them is also very simple, and it is also the usual simple and crude style of the Ottoman Empire: death (of course, some lower-level soldiers will also be demoted to slaves).

Mo San, who knows the domestic situation of the Ottoman Empire, has now vaguely guessed that this Muradpasha isn't this requesting the East Coast to accommodate some of the officers and soldiers of the Ghanishari Legion to avoid being cruelly cleansed by the upstarts?

Sure enough, after a while of silence, Muradpasha slowly said what he wanted to say: "I ask you to accept some officers from the Guards system that are about to be persecuted and allow them to bring their families to exile in your country. These people are Christians who have been conscripted by Demisheme (of course they have converted to Islam now). They have skilled combat skills, rich experience and strong will. I have been taking them for many years. I really can't bear to see them persecuted by others... Don't worry, I will clean up the beginning and end. Some people just hope that they will leave that position and do not necessarily need to kill them, so you don't have to worry about any adverse effects."

"If..." Mo San thought for a while, he decided to sell the Ganeshari Legion for a while, and only heard him say: "If they are willing to settle in the East Coast and overseas colonies, then of course we welcome it."

As an "old Ottoman", Mo San certainly knew how the Ganeshari Legion and the so-called Demisheme class were deeply rooted in the Ottoman Empire. He wanted to uproot the Guards? It was too early! Therefore, he decided to help the army at this moment as a political and emotional investment.

What's more, these officers (and perhaps many soldiers) are extremely rare military talents. They have learned how to fight since childhood, and they may not be very advanced in terms of military thinking, but their personal skills and organizational discipline are beyond words, and they are all very good. When they arrive in the East Coast Republic, they just need to be scattered and placed (so that they do not live together and form a Muslim community that is difficult to assimilate), and then use their remaining energy to fight against the natives - such as the Sakaravas, Melinas, etc. on New China Island, which is very convenient. Therefore, Mo San agreed without much hesitation.

In fact, Mo San was right. Soon after, he would strictly suppress and restrict the current Grand Vizitane Hoku, the Ghanishari Legion's Legion, would be involved in the "Prince Suleiman (the brother of Sultan Muhammad) conspiracy to usurp the throne" incident and was executed. In this incident, it was heard that the Ghanishari Legion dispatched to stabilize the situation at a critical moment, playing an extremely critical role in the final victory of the forces against Grand Vizi.
