Ottoman Preparations Expand War Across Europe
The report from Constantinople notes 12,000 militia sent from the Ottoman capital toward Nafacka to join the Grand Signor's army. Pay increases for Janissaries and troops in Hungary are reported to sustain operations through winter, with Kaimakan Kiupruli appointed to command in Bulgaria and dignities conferred on Kai macan officials. Embassies from Persia bring presentations, signaling high-level diplomatic activity as the empire presses its campaign against imperialists. The Vienna segment covers Count Seckendorff’s arrest, impeachment proceedings, and shifting loyalties, while reports scrutinize military decisions and supply issues affecting the campaign. A seminar note mentions Dr Wishart’s appointment at the University.
