sultan's crescent

Chapter 65
Selim didn't want these people to join the new army, this was his bottom line.

But if these people are left in the place and the land is allocated according to the follow-up plan, Sudan is still not at ease.

This is not a farmer in a big eastern country who can be resettled with a piece of land. It is simply the world's number one labor force.

For this group of soldiers who have retired from the battlefield, it is a kind of torture for them to sit at home.

In fact, Selim's original intention was to arouse the rebellious psychology of the Sipahi cavalry through the direct disbandment announced at the meeting, and then let this group of people suddenly get rid of them.

In this way, Sudan can get a sum of money again, and the government's land allocation is much easier to implement, and the Sipahi cavalry no longer have to worry about re-employment in the future.

We all have a bright future.

It's a pity that the Sipahi cavalry was not very knowledgeable and missed the ladder closest to Allah.

Well, it may be that the guards were too ruthless last time, which caused a psychological shadow on the Sipahi cavalry. After all, they are old opponents for hundreds of years. Once they are destroyed, they will inevitably feel a little bit sad.

While thinking about how to solve the Sipahi cavalry problem, Selim slowly entered the imperial government through the back door. Yusuf Pasha was already waiting for him.

Yusuf Pasha, who saw the person coming, greeted him with a wry smile, and said.

"Your Majesty, if it's like this, I guess I can't solve it according to the original plan."

Selim nodded. The other party is not a fool, and his own side is not all monolithic. Among the participants of the conference, there are too many people who will tip off, no matter whether they are willing or capable.

It was just a handful, and Selimcha didn't even bother to check it.

After all, is the new dynasty elegant and political? There are those who wait and see, those who cause obstacles, those who support, everything.

The so-called vested interest groups of the Ottoman Empire could not be solved by Selim packing up the Guards, suppressing a bunch of local tyrants, and getting rid of the Mamluks.

It is the next interest group that can really solve the previous vested interest group. Don't expect Sudan to be able to eat alone.

After thinking about it for a while, Selim suddenly thought of a strategy, which was actually not a sudden one.

After all, Sudan has always been well-prepared in doing things. If this plan fails, there is naturally another plan.

"Yusuf, I remember that a few days ago, there was some opposition in the Cilicia area (that is, a place in southern Turkey today). Not only Cilicia, but also Mesopotamia, Syria also has this Such a situation."

"Your Majesty, this."

Listening to Sudan's words, for some reason, Yusuf felt that he really couldn't keep up with the train of thought of the person in front of him.

What's the matter, I feel that cutting down the feudal clan has not been cool before, and this time I plan to take action against those families in Syria, right?

For the Sultan's behavior, Yusuf Pasha was already somewhat unbearable.

He is over 80 years old, and if he continues to work, it is estimated that he will be able to create a good story about "Because he was trusted by the Sultan, he became the first Pasha in the history of the Ottoman Empire to die of old age while serving as the Grand Vizier".

But the old Pasha was really tired. Well, he was responsible for supporting the Russian-Turkish war, handling logistics, post-war reconstruction, and the implementation of the Empire’s New Deal.

Yusuf felt that if he continued like this, he would not be able to live long, especially since the Sultan was still working on him.

Seeing the helplessness faintly revealed on Yusuf Pasha's old face, Selim suddenly felt that he could not bear to oppress the old man in front of him.

This behavior is simply more capitalist than a capitalist, but I have to say that Yusuf Pasha is really easy to use.

Yusuf Pasha is a first-class official, whether it is making peace with others or doing practical things. After all, he is an official who came from the local area, and the real prime minister started from the state and county.

"Yousuf, it's time for you to take care of yourself, how about this, how about I let you step down after finishing the Sipahi matter?"

Yusuf Pasha couldn't believe his ears. Just as he was about to nod his head, he heard the Sultan's voice again.

"Oh, one more thing, Yusuf, do you have any recommendations for the next Grand Vizier of the empire?

After all, now that you're gone, I'm almost useless. "

Sudan said with a smile.

"No, Your Majesty, I don't have anyone to recommend. As you know, I am a Grand Vizier with limited abilities. It is difficult to find some outstanding talents."

Yusuf Pasha only felt a shock, his throat was extremely dry, he replied slowly.

Selim sighed.

"Okay, I'll trouble you then, Yusuf, from now on, just accompany me to dispose of these Sipahi wastes with your heart."

Hearing what the sultan said, Yusuf Pasha seemed to be pardoned at this time. Although it was still winter, the old man felt that his back was already soaked.

Yusuf is not very clear about what Sudan is most taboo about, but he has heard some rumors.

The sultan was sent to form a new army when the previous sultan, Hamid I, was still on the throne.

The situation at that time was that many families were trying to stuff people into the new army, and some of them were all in one batch.

At the back, the group of people who were stuffed in were all beaten up by the sultan, and they were forcibly kicked out of the new army on the grounds that their physical fitness was not good enough.

And all of this was done by the sultan in front of him when he was the crown prince.

Today's Sudan has won wars abroad and gained prestige, but internally cut down the vassals and flattened the forces that dared to oppose.

Under such circumstances, does Yusuf dare to stuff private goods into the imperial court?
What's wrong, I'm in my 80s, at this time, let's play Lee Sun-jang's performance competition, right?

For Yusuf Pasha, an old man in the officialdom, it is indeed time to rest.

After turning a few corners, surrounded by a group of guards, the Sultan stood in front of the Sipahi cavalry.

The Sipahi cavalry, who had been listlessly guarding the gate of the imperial government, suddenly regained their spirits when they saw the Sultan appearing at the gate of the government surrounded by guards.

"Great Sultan, Protector of the Two Holy Mosques, Caliph of the Islamic world, I wish you well.

Your most loyal servants, the Sipahi cavalry, are waiting for you to do justice. "

A group of "non-violent non-cooperation" activists stood up in unison at this time, paying the highest respect to Sudan.

Don't care if there are any people in this group who know the truth about the meeting, anyway, everyone has already relied on the Sudan.

As for what the Sudan thinks, this is not for everyone to care about. After all, the atmosphere has already been set for you.

Everyone didn't rebel, and they didn't engage in any conspiracy. They just sold it here and wanted some compensation. It wouldn't be like the idiots of the Guards to get the experience of Jiuzuxiaole.

A group of Sipahi cavalry looked at Sultan with eyes that seemed to say.

"Your Majesty, enjoy your meal."

　Please follow up, I am exhausted at midnight today.

　　I feel that I haven't reached the point where I can evolve, so I'd better choose another opportunity and try again.
