Chapter 228 Turkey is very big, but we only have Constantiniya! (Please subscribe, please collect)

The Turkish Empire is coming to an end!
When 1829 in the Western calendar was approaching summer, almost everyone who cared about current affairs believed that the state of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which had lived in the country for 530 years and occupied the castle for 376 years, had come to an end.

Among them, even the Sultan Mahmoud II of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, he is very convinced that he is the last Sultan of the Ottoman Turkish Empire-how could it not be the last?After entering Rumelia, those barbaric Rakshas turned into Romans who came back to restore the country!

The Sudan has received an urgent report from Hussein Pasha who was stationed on the front line of Edirne (Adriaburg), and learned that the Raksha people have impatiently played the Roman eagle flag they had prepared a long time ago. The Tsar He began to call himself Caesar of the Roman Empire, and gave the 22 Rakshasa infantry divisions and cavalry divisions he led with the legionary designation of the Roman Empire.

Under Nicholas I's coquettish operation, the Orthodox Christians in Greece and Rumelia were all boiling. They really thought that it was not Mao Xiong who came, but the Roman king they had been looking forward to day and night. Their Roman motherland was about to come. Glorious again.

Of course, this view cannot be wrong.Rome, a barbarian commander-in-chief is very Roman!Wasn't Nicholas I just a barbarian general who loved Rome, believed in the Orthodox Church, and theoretically inherited part of the legal line of the Paleolio dynasty?
As long as he can recover Constantinople, which has been occupied for 376 years, he will undoubtedly be the new Roman emperor!

So after Nicholas I's "Roman Barbarian Legion" entered the northern part of Rumelia Province (Bulgaria), they were welcomed by the local "Roman Remnants" who still adhered to the Orthodox faith.People held salt and bread, and sang the song "You Will Return Like Lightning" in memory of Constantine XI with tears in their hands, and many passionate young people directly joined the "Roman Barbarian Legion". Almost none of them The Orthodox subjects of the Turkish Empire realize that their Turkish homeland is being invaded by the Rakshas!
And the Turkish officials and Tianfang believers in this place suffered. They were either killed by the fanatical Orthodox Christians, or they were oiled on the soles of their feet. A sad news that directly hits people's hearts.

When the news of "The Return of Rome" came from the capital of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, most of the residents in the city felt deep despair.Because most of the residents in this city are neither the Fanars, the Roman survivors, nor the lower-class Christian Armenians from Asia Minor, nor even the serious Turks, but the tribe that has been suppressed by the Sudan and Disbanded Janissaries, descendants and families of officers and soldiers of the Janissaries.

The members of the early Janissaries were boys from Christian families in the Balkans ruled by Turkey.They were forcibly conscripted to Constantiniya, and grew up in the barracks of the Janissaries, where they received the edification of Tianfang and strict military training. Of course, they also had to study culture.When they grew up to be qualified Janissaries, they were required to make the barracks their home and the Sultan as their father, and they were not allowed to marry and have children until they retired from the army.And when they reached the age when they had to retire from the legion, they were all old, uncles and uncles who had lived in Constantiniya for half their lives and no longer had anything to do with their native families.Moreover, there are their careers and circles in Constantinian—they are not old beggars with nothing, they are people who are quite close to the power circle of the empire, and it is easy to get official positions.Therefore, most of them have the conditions to marry and have children, leaving offspring.

As the number of descendants of the Yenicheri Legion increased, Constantiniya gradually became a city for the families and descendants of the Legion. The regiment's "scout system" and the tradition of "no marriage and no children" before retirement have also been completely lost.So the legion set up a hereditary military service system. The descendants of the Yeniceri Legion began to serve in the army for generations, and through the army to obtain official positions, they evolved into an Ottoman version of the "Eight Banners nobles" entrenched in Constantiniya. "Are.The reason why the previous reforms of the Ottoman Turkish Empire were difficult is also because of their existence.

Even if Sultan Mahmud II suppressed the Yenicheri Army, he couldn't kill all the residents of his capital and the bureaucratic team, right?
Moreover, the Sultan himself, to some extent, is the same as the "Eight Banners" of Constantinier, and his Turkic ancestry has been so thin that it is not decent-there are no Turkic women in the Sultan's harem, all of them were snatched Or bought white European beauties.Moreover, the Sultan did not trust the "kings of the valley" (Ottoman nobles) who lived in Asia Minor, but he still trusted the "own people" of Constantine.

So Sultan Mahmud's suppression of the Yenicheri Army was actually an internal strife among the Constantinians. But no matter how the internal strife was, everyone was a grasshopper on the same rope.

For them, the empire was big, but all they really had was Constantinian!
If Constantinian is lost, they will have nothing and nowhere to go, and the new Romans will not allow them to continue to exist-that is a bear version of Rome, so hard!
In the early morning of May [-]th, the Sultan, who had just completed the morning ceremony, had already changed into a western-style military uniform and put on his own little red cap. Surrounded by a group of pashas and new army officers, the Sultan boarded the gate of the Topkapi Palace building.The nine-horsetail standing flag, which symbolizes the sultan's royal conquest, and the green holy flag of Tianfang Sect, which symbolizes the authority of the caliphate, also slowly rose on the gate tower of the main gate of Topkapi Palace.

On the square outside the gate of the imperial palace, it seemed a bit noisy and chaotic at this time, and there was a sea of ​​people, perhaps 30 to [-] people crowded there.On the square, there were "Constantinians" onlookers - all women, children and elderly people; there were also young and middle-aged men in New Army uniforms, Little Red Riding Hood, and British New Bess rifles on their backs.

This desperate city has been fully mobilized!

When the people in the square saw the Sultan Mahmud II who they hated but had to support, they all stopped and fell silent.

Sultan looked at the people on the square who were about to drag down the Ottoman Empire's national fortune, his nose was sore, tears were about to come down, he couldn't help crying, and then walked to a loudspeaker, Zhang He opened his throat and started his mobilization speech loudly: "Compatriots, the Turkish Empire is big, but we only have Constantiniya! Constantiniya is not only our home for generations, but also everything to us! If We have lost Constantinian, we will have nothing! As you must know, our enemies have unfurled the banner of Rome. This means that there will be no more compromises between us and them, no more Mercy, there is no longer the possibility of coexistence. Some are just life and death! Every Ottoman who believes in the true god Constantiniya has only one choice now, and that is to fight, either die gloriously, or win the victory!
And I, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, the Caliph of the Tianfang Sect, Mahmud II, the shadow of the true God on earth, will go to the front line of Edinel with you, where we will fight and win together. I would rather die than take half a step back!If we are destined to lose our lives in this battle to defend Constantiniya, then my soul will take the souls of every warrior who fought and died with me...to the kingdom of God together! "

As soon as the Sultan's words fell, the square of the Topkapi Palace suddenly boiled up, and the cheers were like a tsunami, rushing towards Sultan Mahmud II. The Sultan closed his tears and listened to the last cheers from his people .

"Long live the Sultan! Long live the Caliph! Long live the Ottoman Empire!"
