Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 363 Make Ottoman Great Again!

Seeing the cloudy and uncertain expression on Aguli's face, Selim III finally sighed helplessly, and said, "Let go of little Mahmoud, and at the same time let go of yourself."

After being told by Selim III, Aguli finally nodded subtly.

Selim III picked up the wine glass on the tray with a smile, drank the poisoned wine in one gulp, and said to Aguli with a smile, "Go."

Aguli took a deep look at Selim III, and finally turned into a long sigh after thousands of words.

During Selim III's time as Ottoman Sultan, although Ottoman's national power has been declining, even those traditional conservatives who opposed Selim III, the nobles had to admit that Selim III was The achievements during his reign have far surpassed those of the previous sultans.

If it was in a time of peace, it is possible that Selim III's reforms might have succeeded, and Ottoman would not have fallen into the current turbulent situation.

It's a pity that Selim's third and fourth did not catch up with a good time-whether it was the war with the Ming Dynasty or the war with Tsarist Russia, Osman was in a passive situation, and the turbulent situation also gave Selim The reform of the third generation added countless troubles.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Ottoman became what it is now is more due to the various problems accumulated by Ottoman for hundreds of years, and Selim III cannot be blamed for all the responsibilities.

Thinking of this, Aguli couldn't help but let out a long sigh again, and then turned his head and told the guards behind him: "Sultan Selim is already on the road, and now we are going to send Mahmoud on the road."

The Imperial Guards who followed Aguli silently followed Aguli to the palace where Mahmoud was.

Although Osman didn't say that there are many friends and multiple paths, these guards are not fools. Seeing Mustafa, Aliti, and Ozgul helpless in the face of Alemdar's attack, these Naturally, the Guards had to find a way out for themselves.

It is impossible to choose Selim III as a retreat. After all, when Mustafa, Aliti, and Ozgul attacked the Topkapi Palace, these guards did not play their due role , and even acted as a leader to a certain extent.

If Selim III becomes Sultan again, who can guarantee that Selim III will not liquidate the previous affairs?

Therefore, whether it was because of Mustafa's order or for their own consideration, these guards must let Selim return to the embrace of the true God.

On the contrary, it is a wise choice to choose the little Mahmoud as a retreat——

If Alemdar successfully broke through the defense of Istanbul and supported the little Mahmoud as the new sultan, they, the guards, would naturally have a contribution to the dragon, after all, they let the little one go. Mahmud.

If Alemdar failed to break through Istanbul's defenses, and Mustafa and Aliti succeeded in counter-killing, they, the Imperial Guards, would naturally have plenty of time to find the "missing" little Mahmoud, And send it back to the arms of the true God.

Those who had the idea of ​​finding a way out for themselves showed that it wasn't just the Janissaries, even the young Vizier Evrim, who was ordered by Mustafa to see Alemdar, had the same idea.

As we all know, except for a certain eagle sauce, not everything is black and white, and the nobles of Ottoman are naturally the same. Not everyone will stand in the reformist or traditional conservative team, let alone Most of them are still sitting on the wall.

The young vizier Ephrim is a typical fencer.

When the reformist faction is relatively strong, Evrim will agree with Selim III's reforms.

When Selim III was deposed, Evrim became a traditional and conservative nobleman again.

It is also because of this ability to go with the wind that Evrim has a good fortune among the Ottoman nobles. Whether it is the reformist or the traditional conservative who is on the stage, they have firmly guarded the little vizier. s position.

It’s just that today, this ability to go with the wind seems to be a little bit out of order—when Evrim passed on Mustafa’s conditions to Alemdal, Alemdal did not directly agree. He didn't directly express his disapproval, but just looked at Evrim with a half-smile.

It wasn't until Evrim's forehead began to sweat slowly that Alemdar laughed, looked at Evrim and said, "Did Mustafa tell you that Osman and the people from the Ming Kingdom What about the treaty?"

When asked by Alemdal, Evrim asked a little unclearly: "You are in charge of stationing on the Rhine River, and you deal more with Sand Goose. Why do you care about the treaty with the Ming Kingdom? ?”

Evrim put on a look of sincere consideration for Alemdar, and persuaded: "The conditions proposed by Mustafa are already very good. Not only is the fief that you canonized closer to Europa, but you are even allowed to Continue to experiment with Selim III's reforms—you know, Aliti and the others originally wanted to set up your fief closer to the Ming Kingdom."

However, what Evrim did not expect was that in the face of many attractive conditions, Alemdar just chuckled, and then asked again: "My question is, the treaty between Ottoman and the Ming Kingdom What should I do?"

Seeing Alemdal's appearance that he would never give up until he got an answer, Evrim could only sigh helplessly, and said: "Of course the treaty signed with Ming will continue to be implemented."

"We also regret what happened to Selim Sultan."

"In fact, Mustafa Sultan has broken the wine cup that Selim Sultan used to drink poison for countless times, but you also know that Mustafa Sultan cannot keep staring at Selim Sultan, And there are many people in the Topkapi Palace who are loyal to Selim Sultan, and it is actually very easy for Selim Sultan to obtain poisoned wine."

"Alemdar, the past is over, please stop moving forward. Istanbul has already suffered a war, please don't let it suffer a second and bigger war."

However, Alemdar just smiled and shook his head, looking at the dust and smoke galloping far outside the big tent, he said: "Evrim, if you can eat a roasted whole lamb, you will be willing to just have a lamb." legs, but you want to share the rest of the meat with others?"

Ephrim was taken aback, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Alemdar chuckled, and said: "Now, Istanbul has returned to the hands of Selim Sultan. Mustafa, the usurper, will get the punishment he deserves!"

Evrim was shocked, and stood up with a bang, first turned his head to look in the direction of Iltanbul, and then shouted at Alemdar angrily: "We are negotiating, how can you take advantage of this?" Launch an attack at this time! You have violated the principles of the battlefield, and you have betrayed the teachings of the true God!"

Alemdal's face sank, he looked at Evrim and snorted, "Why, you still call me Kafir, are you going to send me to Hell?"

Ephrim didn't dare to speak for a moment.

As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and it is also said that people use knives and me as fish and meat. I am now in the central army tent in Alemdal, surrounded by Alemdal's cronies, as long as Alemdal speaks With the order, these people will rush forward and chop themselves into minced meat.

After heaving a sigh, Ephrim once again displayed his sloppy spirit and bowed to Alemdar and stroked his chest in greeting: "Then, let me take you to the Topkapi Palace, maybe I can send you to the topkapi palace." Selim Sultan's last leg."

……

Mustafa was about to go mad with anger, and at the same time, he also deeply understood why Selim III worked hard to promote the reform of the Ottomans, especially the reform of the Ottoman army——

If the guards defending the city were more reliable, not to mention repelling Alemdar's attack directly, but relying on Istanbul's city walls to do a good job of defense, Alemdar would not be able to break through Istanbul in a while.

The problem is that the imperial guards guarding the city are really unreliable, if they voted, they voted for their mothers!Voted!

What was even more unreliable was the guards of the Topkapi Palace—these bastards led Aliti the way last time, and this time they led the way for Alemdar again!

Co-author The duty of the guards of the palace is who will lead the way, no matter who the other party is?

Mustafa, who was sitting on the throne of Sultan, was a little annoyed, and looked at Aliti and Ozgul with hatred in his eyes: "Now what better way do you have? If not, then go to meet them." Alemdar!"

Aliti and Ozgul looked left and right at the empty political palace, looked at each other and then simply lowered their heads, saying that silence is golden.

Mustafa became even angrier immediately.

Damn it, you two were the ones who had to rush to the Topkapi Palace to make troubles. Now that you screwed up, what the hell is a dead pig not afraid of boiling water?

The problem is that you two bastards are really not afraid of being scalded, but you can't drag Ben Sudan to die together, you bastard!

Also, you say that Selim III's reforms were wrong, and those nobles who followed Selim III's reforms all betrayed the true god Kafir, and Osman was defeated again and again because of them. If believers who truly believe in the true God come to manage Ottoman, they will definitely make Osman change from the previous decline, but what about the believers in your mouth?

As soon as the news of the fall of the city walls of Istanbul came, the believers you talked about just ran away and disappeared!
Who is Kafile who betrayed the true God?

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Mustafa simply stopped saying anything, instead he closed his eyes and stopped looking at Aliti and Ozgul.

Aliti and Ozgul also felt distressed in their hearts-in fact, Aliti and Ozgul did not expect that the walls of Istanbul would fall so quickly.

It's not that the two of them didn't think about running away quickly, but as the commander and grand vizier of the Kapkuru Cavalry Corps of the Ottoman Empire, the conditions of their families are really great, and there are many adults who want to run away. Not as easy as imagined.

Instead of running away without losing his family and business, he might as well stay and wait for Alemdar's arrival.

It would be better if he could use the teachings of the true god to convince Alemdal, if not, then use his own life to let Alemdal vent his anger in exchange for a glimmer of life for his family.

Although the chances are slim.

After another long while, Mustafa suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Aliti and asked, "Where is Aguli, the commander of the Imperial Guard?"

Asked by Mustafa, Aliti immediately reacted.

What about Aguli?

If Aguli had already killed Selim III and Mahmud, then Alemdar would have no one to support, and it is estimated that he could only hold his nose and recognize Mustafa as the sultan and caliph in the end.

but……

As soon as they thought that Aguli had most likely rebelled and did not kill Selim III at all, the hearts of Aliti and Ozgul sank slowly.

After thinking for a while, Aliti simply shouted: "I will take someone to find Aguli. If he fails to complete the task entrusted to him by Sultan, then I will do it for him!"

Mustafa glanced at Aliti, hummed expressionlessly, and said, "Go."

After Aliti hurried out of the palace, Mustafa cast his eyes on Grand Vizier Ozgul again: "Go to meet Alemdar——I know, it was Ali You will follow him to attack the palace if he threatens you, now take advantage of Aliti’s opportunity to kill Selim Sultan, and hurry to find Alemdar.”

Ozgul was overjoyed, bowed to Mustafa and stroked his chest, and said: "As wise as you, Sultan!"

Unexpectedly, Ozgul originally thought it was a dead end, but it was broken by Mustafa's few words - Aliti coerced usurping the throne and killing Selim and Mahmoud Aliti did it too, both himself and Mustafa were the targets of coercion!

Well, even if Alemdar led his troops into the Topkapi Palace, he could only recognize Mustafa as the Ottoman Sultan when Selim III and Mahmud the Younger were both dead. What Mustafa said inside and outside the meaning was to save his own life, and now he is safe!
After thinking for a while, Ozgul simply bowed to Mustafa and said: "Dear Sultan, I will serve you wholeheartedly, and I hope that under your wise and wise leadership, I will shine for Osman and make Osman change again. be great!"

Mustafa laughed too.

From the very beginning, Mustafa guessed that Alemdar would not retreat easily. After all, they had already reached the city of Istanbul. Compared with the benefits of directly attacking Istanbul, the benefits of retreating were like sesame seeds compared to watermelons. .

Therefore, Mustafa has long been planning how to get rid of Aliti with the help of Alemdar.

Then, go ahead and drive Selim III's innovations to make Ottoman great again!

PS: Today, I will sacrifice "New Forces of the Three Kingdoms: I am King of Liaodong" to the sky!
