Warlock Royal Family

() Ibrahim Pasha inspected the gloomy military camp again and returned to the big tent, just in time to meet his monarch who finally sent away an old general who persuaded him.

He immediately bowed and saluted, but the old general turned a blind eye to Ibrahim, who was at the same level as him and had the title of "Pasha", and left straight away.

Although he made great contributions in suppressing the Egyptian rebellion at the beginning of the year and successfully rescued Hayreddin a few days ago, and thus possessed the title of pasha, Ibrahim Pasha, who was born as a Greek slave, still did not receive any respect. In fact, the behavior of this old general can be said to be an offense to Sultan Suleiman.

"Don't argue with him, my friend." Although he knew that Ibrahim would not take it to heart, Suleiman patted him on the shoulder to show his kindness. "For the sake of 20 years ago, he ran behind my father's back for a day and a night to escape the pursuit of the Persians."

Suleiman could not see any dissatisfaction on his face. He was very tolerant of offenses, and he was very tolerant if he could not be severely punished.

"I have been lucky in my life to be able to serve you. How dare I expect more. Old General Muhammad is the leader of the country. He is so helpful to His Majesty's great cause. How can I care about him?" It has been staged countless times in history, but this pair of monarchs and ministers does seem to have that special difference.

The world is still optimistic about Suleiman, one is Ladislaus and the other is Ibrahim Pasha.

However, although Ibrahim Pasha was very loyal to his monarch and had always supported Suleiman's strategy in front of all his colleagues without exception, doubts and hesitation began to appear in his heart, and the situation was really serious.

The young Suleiman had not inherited his great father Selim for a few years, and he did not have enough authority to suppress the veteran who followed his father in all important battles.

As his father's only son, he was fortunate that he didn't need to kill his brother to show that he was a qualified Ottoman Sultan, and unfortunately he couldn't kill his brother to show that he was a qualified Ottoman Sultan. <>

So he must win as soon as possible to consolidate his prestige.

Although both Ladislaus and Ibrahim thought he was a real mighty dragon, the first time he stretched his claws and claws, he really wanted to love you, but it didn't go well. He mobilized an army of 20 and entangled him for more than half a year, but he still couldn't conquer it. Little Rhode Island.

The Knights Hospitaller on Rhodes Island is not a good opponent for gaining prestige. If they win, they will be overwhelmed.

No ordinary monarch would choose such a thankless job.

You must know that his father destroyed the Mamluk Sultanate with an army of 10,000+.The rich Egypt was swallowed up, and the fertile farmland moistened by the Nile River produced a large amount of food, which made the mobilization of the Ottoman Empire stronger, but the young Sultan did not achieve a record comparable to his father.

The fortress, run by the Knights Hospitaller for generations, looks set to survive the siege.

"General Federtale has been expelled from the negotiations, and he can no longer serve us." The Hungarian negotiator seems to have a boss.

"He's done well enough, you write him back with my monogram. Bring him a hundred thousand thaler. Besides that don't call him King of Croatia at the end, our friend Feder thaler The general likes that hat the most, hahaha." There was no sarcasm in Suleiman's voice, as if he had no contempt for traitors.Even his laugh suggests optimism rather than arrogance.

His upbeat laugh reinfected Ibrahim Pasha with enthusiasm.

"Your Majesty, please hand over the new army to me again. This time, if I can't break through the castle and bring the head of the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller, I will never come back to see you." Ibrahim Pasha resolved. It is also a helpless choice to repay Suleiman's kindness with his life.Once the authority of the Sudan is damaged, those old courtiers are bound to take him under the knife.

The new army is the reform measure of the Ottoman Empire against the imperial guards of the ancient Roman Empire who abolished the monarch at will. These soldiers are all composed of pagans who do not believe in "Allah of the Stars and the Moon", so they cannot be recognized by the aristocratic class of the Ottoman Empire and cannot collude with them .

This army is the elite of the entire Ottoman army. These soldiers do not believe in the great demon of the stars and the moon. In return for retaining their belief in freedom, they entered the army since childhood. They are elite full-time professional soldiers. Very strong fighting power.

The rest of the Ottoman army was really failing.Although the information obtained by the Spaniards after investing a lot of money is not accurate, it is indeed sufficient.

One-fifth of the soldiers are already sick. Although the plague has not spread on a large scale because it is winter, it is still not worth it. These soldiers are strong soldiers of this era and should not be wasted like this.

Suleiman attached great importance to the reports of Ibrahim Pasha and several of his surviving colleagues who repeatedly searched abroad.He is very serious about these documents and forms, and he has to cross-reference and study them repeatedly every day.

Several report writers have gone through the test of life and death to live to this day, that's right.Poorly written reports were punishable by death.

Although the sultan would often visit the barracks to chat and shake hands with the wounded, it was the channel through which he really understood the situation.It is the written reports of these shrewd and fearful courtiers. An army of tens of 10 people has countless affairs that cannot be done by inspection. He has the ability to grasp the overall situation from words and numbers.

In addition to this ability, he is also a natural master of the human soul.

He understood that Ibrahim's challenge actually meant that his cronies had also begun to waver.

"Ibrahim, you are the person I trust the most, how can you be shaken?" If this sentence was spoken by an ordinary monarch to his courtiers, it would be very harsh. In addition, the current dangerous situation may be an internal disaster. It was a sign of chaos, but Suleiman remained calm, with a confident smile on his face, "Although I respect my father very much, I didn't send troops to Rhodes Island just to compete with him, Ma Mu Liuke Egypt seems strong but weak. After the Portuguese cut off the Indian Ocean trade, the economy was in chaos and fell apart from the inside out. It was like a huge broken house that would fall down at the first kick. The Knights of the Hospital seemed weak but strong. The soft belly of the empire is like a sword staring at our vital points at any time. Although it is only small in size, there must be strong support inside and outside. Dozens of small boats toss the entire coastline of the empire, restless day and night. It takes determination and patience to win against this group."

This was the first time Suleiman said this to Ibrahim, and the courtier in front of him was moved to tears. He understood that this was the highest courtesy of the Sultan.

Not only tactics are explained, but grand strategy is also analyzed.

He didn't need to know that although Suleiman valued him very much, this first time was also his last chance. Explaining it was the limit of Suleiman's favor, and this kind of favor also had a huge price.

Of course, Ibrahim Pasha was able to climb to this position, relying on never letting the favor of his monarch fail.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I definitely do not doubt your wisdom, but I am just a weak mortal compared to your greatness." The emotional Ibrahim Pasha continued on one knee, "But I cannot restrain I am loyal to you, please give me a task and let me serve you."

The smile on Sulaman's face remained the same, he had expected all this a long time ago.

"I want you to take Rhodes Island for me." Suleiman's words made Ibrahim Pasha confused. Why did the proposal that was just rejected come out of his monarch's mouth so quickly?

But although he was suspicious, he still knew how to answer.

"I'm willing to go through fire and water, even if I die."
