He maintained his dominance and in 1794 ensured that the Fertile and Bozkır mines were given to him and his close associates of Tarsus and Andana sanjaks.

However, he sent soldiers to help in the Pazvandoğlu revolt in Rumelia and the French campaign in Egypt and Syria, while suppressing uprisings in and around his region.
