The Crescent of the Sultan

Selim did not want these people to interfere with the new army. This was his bottom line.

But if this group of people is left in the local area and the land is distributed according to the follow-up plan, Sultan still feels uneasy.

These are not farmers from some large eastern country who can be settled with a piece of land. They are simply the world's number one labor force.

For these soldiers who have retired from the battlefield, letting them sit at home is simply torture.

In fact, Selim's original intention was to arouse the rebellious psychology of the Sipaxi cavalry through the direct disbandment announced at the conference, and then suddenly give up to this group of people.

In this way, the Sultan can get another sum of money, the government's land distribution can be implemented more easily, and the Sipaxi cavalry no longer have to worry about re-employment in the future.

Everyone has a bright future.

It's a pity that the Sipaxi cavalry is not very knowledgeable and missed this step closest to God.

Well, it may be that the Guards were dealt too hard last time, which caused a psychological shadow on the Sipaxi cavalry. After all, they have been an old rival for hundreds of years. Once they are destroyed, they will inevitably feel a bit sad.

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

Yusuf Pasha, who saw the incoming person, went up to him with a wry smile and said.

"Your Majesty, if things look like this, I guess I won't be able to solve the problem according to the original plan."

Selim nodded. The other party was not a fool, and we were not all monolithic. There were many participants in the conference who knew how to tip off information, whether they were willing or able.

There were so many that Selimcha didn’t even bother to check.

After all, there are those who are watching, those who are stumbling, and those who are supporting the new dynasty.

The so-called vested interest groups in the Ottoman Empire cannot be solved by Selim cleaning up the Guards, suppressing a group of local powerful people, and getting rid of the Mamluks.

The one who can really solve the previous vested interest group has to be the next 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. In fact, this method was not too sudden.

After all, Sultan is always well prepared for things to do. If this plan fails, there will naturally be another plan.

"Yusuf, I remember that a few days ago, there was some human opposition in Cilicia (now southern Turkey). It's not just Cilicia, it seems like Mesopotamia, there's also this in Syria. Let’s see.”

"Your Majesty, this."

Listening to Sultan's words, Yusuf felt that he couldn't keep up with the thinking of the man in front of him for some reason.

Well, I feel like I haven't had enough success in cutting down the vassal vassals before, so I'm planning to take action against the Syrian ones this time, right?

Yusuf Pasha could not bear the Sultan's behavior.

He is already over eighty years old. If he continues to work, he will probably create a legend that "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 Grand Vizier."

But the old Pasha was really tired. He was responsible for supporting the Russian-Turkish war, doing logistics, and post-war reconstruction. He was also responsible for the implementation of the Empire's New Deal.

Yusuf felt that he would not survive much longer if he continued like this, especially since Sultan continued to give him a lot of trouble.

Seeing the helplessness vaguely revealed on Yusuf Pasha's old face, Selim suddenly felt that he couldn't bear to squeeze the old man in front of him.

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

Whether it was making peace or doing practical work, Yusuf Pasha was first-rate. After all, he was an official from a local area. He really became a prime minister from a state or county.

"Yusuf, it's time for you to take care of yourself. How about this? After finishing the matter with Sipaxi, how about I let you step down and take care of yourself?"

Yusuf Pasha couldn't believe his ears. Just when he was about to nod and say yes, he heard the Sultan's voice again.

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

After all, now that you are gone, I will have no one left. "

Sultan said with a smile.

"No, Your Majesty, I have nothing to recommend. You know, I am a grand vizier with limited abilities. It is difficult to find some outstanding talents."

Yusuf Pasha felt frightened and his throat was extremely dry. He answered slowly.

Selim sighed after hearing this.

"Okay, I'll trouble you, Yusuf. Next, just accompany me to deal with these Sipaxi wastes."

After hearing the Sultan's words, Yusuf Pasha felt as if he had been granted amnesty. Although it was still winter, the old man felt that his back was already wet.

Yusuf was not very clear about what the Sultan was most taboo about, but he had heard some rumors.

When the previous Sultan Hamid I was still on the throne, this sultan was sent to form a new army.

The situation at that time was that many families were trying to stuff people into the new army, and some of them formed a group at once.

At the back, the group of people who had been pushed in were beaten hard by the Sultan, and were forcibly kicked out of the new army on the grounds that their physical fitness was not up to standard.

And all of this was what the Sultan in front of him did when he was the Crown Prince.

Today's Sudan has won wars and gained prestige externally, cut down vassals internally, and suppressed forces that dared to oppose.

Under such circumstances, would Yusuf still dare to stuff private goods into the imperial palace?

Hey, I am over 80 years old. At this time, let’s take part in the Lee Shan Chang Acting Competition, right?

For an old official like Yusuf Pasha, it is indeed the age to rest.

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

The Sipaxi cavalry, who had been guarding listlessly in front of the imperial government gate, suddenly became energetic when they saw the Sultan appearing at the gate of the government surrounded by guards.

“My great Sultan, Protector of the Two Holy Mosques and Caliph of the Islamic World, wish you well.

Your most loyal servants, the Sipaxi Cavalry, are waiting for you to deliver justice. "

At this time, a group of "non-violent non-cooperation" activists stood up and paid their highest respect to Sudan.

Regardless of whether there are people in this group who know the truth about the conference, everyone is already relying on the Sultan.

As for what the Sultan has in mind, that's not anyone's business. After all, the atmosphere has already been set for you.

Everyone is not rebelling, nor are they engaging in any conspiracy. They are simply doing a miserable job here and want some compensation. This will not give them the experience of killing the nine tribes like the idiots in the Guards.

A group of Sipaxi cavalry looked at the Sultan, their eyes seemed to say something.

"Your Majesty, enjoy your meal."

Please catch up on the reading. I’m exhausted at midnight today.

I feel like I haven't reached the point where I can evolve yet, so I might as well try again when the opportunity arises.
