Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

The new army is the most elite army in the Ottoman Empire, or should be said to be the most elite army on the Eurasian continent.

Several groundbreaking world firsts have made this army a model that has held the title of the most advanced army in the world since its inception. Even the Europeans who are enemies have been imitating many characteristics of this army. But for a long time, it could only be imitated, never surpassed.

Tall white boxer hat, red top and black short cloak hung diagonally outside, green scarf and black trousers with machete, and a pair of ankle boots.

This is the dress of Sudan's most elite new army, unified and eye-catching, especially if it is the entire army, then it will give people a powerful oppression and visual impact when seen from afar.

Unlike the European army at this time, the new Ottoman army seemed to be formed from the beginning with the purpose of breaking various conventions.

While many countries and generals are still arguing about the merits of hot and cold weapons, the Ottoman Army has formed the world's earliest all-built firearms unit.

It was also this army that, after a long battle with the Europeans, first realized the great power of artillery, and then the earliest independent artillery regiment in the world was born.

Compared with those powerful armed forces, the establishment of the world ’s first established battlefield logistics system seems to be less conspicuous, especially for other Ottoman troops except the New Army. The devotion of elite troops to undertake the task of carrying heavy loads is simply a waste of resources.

The wedge-shaped cap emblem of a new army's white boxer hat was straight with a bunch of gorgeous wild pheasants in the sky. As his head moved, the bunch of wild pheasants also shook back and forth, looking far away Very eye-catching.

This is a low-ranking officer of the new army. The only difference between them and the soldiers in the same military uniform is the eye-catching wild pheasant on the cap badge. The role of this bunch of wild pheasants is to allow others to distinguish his different identity from the soldier. In the battle, let his men see his position from afar, keep up with his footsteps.

The Ottoman New Army is proud, although in name they are slaves of the Sultan, but this identity brings them not shame but honor, especially after conquering the Eastern Roman Empire, the New Army has become synonymous with glory .

A fast horse ran on the muddy and soft road after the rain, and pieces of mud splashed around the horseshoe.

Spring has arrived. Although it looks very cold when it rains, the warmth that can't be concealed even in the humid air keeps telling people that the spring breeze of 1499 has blown to the south of Europa.

The mud spots of the horseshoes splashed on the marching soldiers, but no one showed dissatisfaction, because the soldiers noticed a colorful leopard skin on the shoulders of the horsemen.

This is the ambassador of Sudan, and wearing leopard skin on his shoulders is like the majesty of the Sudan. Once such an ambassador appears, it often means that something big will happen.

Watching the prosperous sultan of the Sudan go away, the officer walking in front of the line couldn't help but pick up the long horn hung diagonally to his side and put it on his lips, blowing up his cheeks to blow hard, and the intensive footsteps accelerated for a while The sound of "crackling" on the muddy road became a piece.

Bayesert II sat in the royal chariot with horsetail flags standing at the four corners, and looked through the thick curtains of the army that stretched out along the road to both sides without despair.

The chariot swayed slightly, and the pen and paper on the table in the car also wobbled, and Bayesett frowned slightly.

Starting from Greece, first go east along the road separated by only one Dinara mountain from the Adriatic Sea. After entering Bosnia, turn into Croatia and then turn east to Bucharest. If you look closely at this march The route will be surprising to find that the Ottomans have completely taken a big detour.

Or simply said that it was a big circle along the whole Balkan.

Unlike Muhammad II who threatened Bucharest directly northward through Bulgaria, Bayesert II this time chose a march route that was not only different from his father's direction, but even his purpose.

In the eyes of many people, this expedition in Sudan is a bit hasty.

Although the rumors about the Greek princess are different from the past, this time it is not only more real, but it has indeed gathered a large number of Balkan aristocrats who opposed the Ottoman Empire. If the situation continues, it may really be possible to appear again in 1444 European anti-Austrian coalition forces like the Battle of Varna, but none of the ministers around Sudan thought that those people could really threaten the empire.

Perhaps after years of fighting with the Ottomans, Europeans have soberly realized the power of the empire, so they will carefully organize a more reliable and powerful army that was different from the original, but just like King Vladislas II of Hungary. The world is not the same as Władysław III, and now Bayesert II is not the same as Murad II.

If there are various reasons why the Ottoman Empire in 1444 did not fully occupy the absolute advantage when confronting the Europeans, then in 1499 55 years later, for the entire Europe, Ottoman is an unmatched behemoth!

Therefore, the Viziers of Sudan inevitably think that this time Sudan seems to be overkill.

Some people even privately thought that perhaps Sudan realized that his previous excessive tolerance of Europe caused a lot of disappointment, so he borrowed this expedition that did not actually show much martial arts.

After all, the sons of the Sultan have grown up, and for the monarch, even a father and son will have the fear of facing threats in front of power.

It was just that the marching route chosen by Bayesert II was a bit too paradoxical. Such a complete circle movement not only made his enemies feel weird, even the Sudanese ministers were mostly incomprehensible.

The flat car swayed again, and then stopped slowly.

The Sultan ’s royal carriage when it was patrolling the outside was a large vehicle supported by four pairs of front and rear wheels and half the height of the body. It was not only larger than the Ottoman carriage, but also much larger than the carriage used by Europeans today. In addition to sitting comfortably in this kind of car, you can also lie down leisurely, and sometimes even if there is heavy rain outside, and the ground is full of Ze Guo, it can also be used as a temporary palace.

However, because this kind of royal car is too wide, it seems to be very picky about the road. Although the road has been arranged as soon as possible in the front, the wheels of the royal car are stuck in the mud because of the bad road conditions.

The chariot was slightly tilted, which made the **** servants and the guards who had been tightly surrounded by the car nervous. They desperately embraced and hugged the carriage tightly, while two eunuchs jumped from the side. The car was ready to help Sudan from the car at any time.

Bayesert II helped the car to stabilize himself, his eyebrows tightened and his eyes fixed on the muddy road.

Seeing an **** stretch his hand, Bayesert II waved his hand to stop it.

"That's not okay," Sudan murmured, stroking some gray beard. His eyebrows never froze, and he looked at the army outside the car through the curtain. Sultan laid down to the **** waiting beside him. command.

The **** immediately left by salute, and it didn't take long to bring a middle-aged man with gorgeous clothes, even wearing a large golden cloak embroidered with extravagant patterns even during the march.

If Alexander is here, he will find that although he has not seen this person, he feels familiar.

"Eryup, you always look so gorgeous," Sultan looked at the middle-aged man who was taking off his exquisite boots, stepping on the **** kneeling in the mud, and climbing up the royal car. A huge sapphire, Bayesert II's mouth is slightly warped. "Tell me if I decide to remove you, will you go bankrupt because you borrowed so much money before?"

The middle-aged man was very proper to kiss the sleeve of the Sudan first, then raised his head, with a seemingly helpless look to meet the inquiry of the Sudan: "My Sultan, you are the king of kings, your will is All in all, if you must make me bankrupt, there is no need to dismiss. You just need to order my home to be taken away, or even if you send me home, I can still have a good day. "

"Yeah, Ashurk won't look at you, and you are the most enviable brothers," Sudan sighed with emotion, probably thinking of the unbearable relationship with his brother, Bayesert couldn't help but sigh, and then his expression is just "Listen, your days of idleness are over. I favor your brother because your father is my strongest supporter. I don't I will forget that when Jem tried to insult me, your father warned me desperately. For this reason, he angered Jem and nearly lost his life. "

"Of course the great Sultan, we will not forget your kindness, especially you because our father never treated our brother badly, which just proves that you are a benevolent monarch."

The middle-aged man named Elup paid a deep salute, and then looked straight up at the Sudan: "So are you going to appoint me for a new role?"

Bayesert II nodded, then turned to point out of the car: "Did you see this road, this is already the best road in Bosnia, and the places we passed before you also know what it looks like, maybe others I don't understand why I chose to take this route, but you should be very clear about my plan, so I need you to prepare for me. "

Eryup looked at the road outside and raised his eyebrows. As Bayesert II said, he knew why the Sudan chose such an unexpected route of entry, all for a long-term plan.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Bayesert II is far less exposed and aggressive than his father. Since his succession, he has devoted almost all his energy to internal affairs and diplomacy, not to expand his territory. It can be seen, but only those of Sudan's most trusted ministers know that Bayesert II is definitely an ambitious lord with ambitious ambitions and a long-term vision.

"Are you asking me to build a road?" Erup asked tentatively.

"It's not just building roads," Sultan frowned and looked at the distant roads that were busy paving potholes with temporarily cut tree trunks. "Don't you think our march is too slow?"

Seeing Eryup open his mouth but didn't say anything, Sudan made a "hum" sound. "I know what you want to say. After all, we went around a circle, which really affected the speed of the march."

"It's not as simple as my sultan in a circle," Ayrepu said with a slight insignia. "According to this route, the apex at the west end of our path has entered the Principality of Canola, if you want Moving on, I ca n’t think of 10 days when our army might be in Vienna, and Venice may be closer. "

"And then, leave us behind a world where turbulence and unrest can happen at any time?" Sudan shook his head slightly. "I chose this route to take advantage of the opportunity to stabilize the land, look at those The rulers of the country and the city, they surrendered to me on the surface, but everyone is always watching whether I will reveal weaknesses, as long as a little bit of leakage, they will immediately bite like a group of hungry wolves, so we want If you want to march into the hinterland of Europe, you must stabilize this land. This is a difficult and tedious thing. It needs to be done for many years. Maybe I ca n’t see the day when it is completely conquered here, but the foundation I laid can allow the empire in the future. There was no worries for a long time, and then Vienna, Prague, Venice, Rome and even Paris will eventually be conquered by us. "

"My Sultan, you are the wisest person I have ever seen. Your foresight has shamed those self-proclaimed wise men, and your vision has even seen the distant future that no one who is alive can see. ... "

Listening to the ruthless patterns of Eryup's rhetoric, Bayeset II's face was a little annoyed.

"I didn't call you to listen to these flattery words. If I want to listen, some people will say it all, but you are not a flatterer."

Sultan interrupted Elup's words, then waved impatiently beckoning him to sit on the blanket opposite him.

"You have seen that it is only because the road is difficult that it affects the speed of the march, and once a battle occurs, whether it is a field battle or a siege, we also affect the battle because we need to separate extra teams to build fortifications and various equipment It ’s too bad to change. "

Speaking of the right thing ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Eryup looked a lot dignified. He stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then asked respectfully, "So great Sultan, what do you need your servants to do?"

"Of course you can do something," Bayesert II glanced angrily at Eryup. "I remember you once suggested the establishment of a special labor force. These forces are not involved in the battle but are responsible for building bridges and repairing roads. There are siege tools and fortifications, is this true? "

"Yes Sudan!"

Hearing this, Eryup immediately became excited.

But before waiting for him to speak, Bayesert II had interrupted him.

"Okay, let's do it. I want to build such a force. I've had enough of this road. I want to liberate the precious guards from those heavy work. So go ahead."

At the command of the Sultan, Aryup immediately bowed to salute, then turned around and jumped off the chariot.

In 1499, on the muddy march of Bosnia, the world's first professional engineer unit was born because of a complaint by Ottoman Sultan Bayesert II.
