In 1623, Murad IV ascended the throne under conspiracy in the palace. At that time, Murad IV was only eleven years old because he was young and could only be ruled by the Sultan of Kosem.

When he first ascended the throne, Murad IV thought he was too young and began to be controlled by his family. The Sultan of Kosem ruled behind the curtain and ruled through the eunuch Mustafa Aga. The Ottoman Empire was in anarchy at this time, and political and financial chaos were in chaos. At the same time, most of Anatolia and Rumili were controlled by rebels in various provinces. In 1624, due to a rebellion between Jericheni troops in Baghdad, Safi Persian Shah Abbas I took the opportunity to invade the land and occupy the land in the Mesopotamian Basil, including Baghdad and Basra.

But in 1632, with the full support of the Guards and judges, he quelled the rebellion of the Jericheni Legion and restored the order in the capital and provinces. He then disbanded the Jericheni Legion, abolished the practice of soliciting children from Christian countries to supplement military sources, and reorganized a new army. He governed the country with an iron fist, got rid of the harem rule during his previous Sudan, improved the national conditions and calmed down the rebellion of the Jericheni Legion, and then began to rule. Murad's rule was known for his iron fist, and he strictly prohibited the sale of alcohol, tobacco and coffee, and tried to suppress the corruption. He rebuilt the new army in the military, stabilized the order in Anatolia, and twice personally conquered SafiPersia, conquered Hamadan, Yerevan, Tabriz and Baghdad, and permanently took back the Mesopotamian Basin.

The latter, Murad IV, took advantage of the Smolensk War between Poland and Russia, sent Abazaar Mohamed to lead his army to launch an offensive north. Under the command of Geitman Stanislaw Konetspolsky, the Politic Federation successfully resisted the Ottoman attack. In 1634, Murad IV, who was preparing to personally expedition, accepted the peace proposal of Polish King Vadislaw IV in order to concentrate on the war against Persia. In the peace treaty, the two countries agreed to re-restrict the plundering activities of the Cossacks and Crimean Tatars in the border areas. However, Murad IV refused to demolish the fortresses along the border.

It can be said that although this Ottoman Sultan was very cruel.

But it has to be said that his ability is proportional to his cruelty. While he is a tyrant, he is also a very capable monarch.

Especially in terms of war.

He is not the kind of blind command. On the contrary, he may not have made any achievements in tactical aspects, but he is still remarkable in strategy.

He sent troops to stop the Ming army's attack.

There is no problem with the route in terms of strategy. But who told him to meet Ming Jun who had cheated?

Under the superior firepower of the Ming army's Western Expedition Army, the Ottoman army had no power to fight back.

It’s a pity that when Murad IV reacted, it was useless and the army on this side of Asia was over.

Now that Murad IV has learned his lesson, he is ready to persevere and rely on Constellation Danteburg's powerful city defense to consume the Ming army.

Because he understood that the Ming army came from afar, the supply line was very long.

As long as they guarded Constellation Dantemberg, they could only watch and could not enter Europa.

Don't be too much, as long as you can keep this winter.

The Ming army will definitely suffer a major blow. It is not a trivial matter to spend the winter here for hundreds of thousands of people. That terrifying winter is enough to hand over the Ming army to be a new person.

At that time, the supply line of the Ming army will break, and it will naturally be self-defeating. What awaits them will inevitably lead to death.

It has to be said that the strategy formulated by Murad IV is indeed fine. According to conventional rules, Constellation Danteburg's defense is solid and there is no big problem to defend.

This Constance Dantemberg is located on the west coast of the Bosphorus because this narrow strait separates Southeast Europe from Asia.

The city itself is located on a small hill, with the Marmara Sea to the south, the Golden Horn Bay to the north, the Hellespont to the east, and the Thrace Plain from the west.

The entire urban area is like a fortress made of heaven and earth, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Not only that, Constance Dantemberg is also the intersection of the Ottoman military and the Asia Minor military highways. It is the only way to Asia and the only way to get from the Black Sea to the Aegean Sea. In addition, the Golden Horn Bay in the north of the city is a natural harbor with excellent conditions. It is about 10 kilometers long and the main channel is about 460 meters wide. It has multiple branch waterways for ships to berth. Since ancient times, it has been a place where merchant ships around the world gather, bringing wealth to local residents, so it is called the "Golden Horn".

The city of Constantinople starts with the imperial palace. The walls built by Constantinople I are divided into two roads and extend westward. Since the north and south sides of Constantinople are bordered by the sea, the height of these two sections of the city wall is only 12 to 15 meters. The entire city is located on the hills behind the walls, and merchant ships from afar can be seen from the sea.

The city wall was built to the west of the Constantine wall. Since the Thrace Plain outside the city was designed to be extremely complex. This section of the city wall was designed from the outside to the inside, including the outer wall, moat, moat inner wall, steep slope wall, outer city platform, outer city wall, inner city platform, and inner city wall.

The outer city wall is about 8 meters high and the inner city wall is about 12 to 20 meters high. The outside of the city wall is steep, made of granite boulders, the top of the wall is a sidewalk and combat platform, and there are castles to cover soldiers. The inner side of the city wall is a slope, with rock guards, hidden soldiers and warehouses. There are 96 towers, more than 300 corner towers and bunkers, and the towers are about 5 meters above the city wall, with an average spacing of more than 60 meters, forming a powerful fire support system. Outside the city wall is a moat about 18 meters wide.

When Ottoman's Mohammed planned to attack Constantinople, he suffered a great loss when he began to attack the walls of Theodosy because he faced a series of complex walls and trenches to protect the only western part of Constantinople that was not surrounded by water.

Mohammed attacked the city wall with cannons, but it was useless. Cannons did not cause much damage to the city wall. Byzantine defenders were able to repair most of the damage after each bombardment. At the same time, Mohammed's fleet was blocked by the Hengjiang iron chain placed by the Byzantines and could not enter the Golden Horn Bay. In order to bypass the iron chain, Mohammed built a land ship trough in Galata on the north shore of the Golden Horn Bay, which was built with greased logs. The ship was towed through the ship trough and entered the Golden Horn Bay. This could prevent Genoa's ships from transporting supplies and also hit the morale of the Byzantine defenders, but the city wall was still unbreakable.

The Ottomans launched several frontal attacks on the city wall, but were repelled and suffered heavy losses.

Then the Ottomans began to dig tunnels and tried to pass through the city walls, but the defenders of Constellation Danteburg had insight into the Ottoman intentions and also dug tunnels to let the defenders enter the tunnels and eliminate the enemy.

Although Constellation Danteburg was finally broken, it was because the city was understaffed at that time, and the Ottoman tricks and indescribable luck.

But as of now, all this has nothing to do with the Ming army.

Because the Ming army faced Constellation Danteburg was a complete city defense, a sergeant Danteburg with more than 300,000 troops.
