Chapter 228 Türkiye is big, but we only have Constantinople! (Please subscribe, please collect)

The Turkish Empire is coming to an end!

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

Among them, even Mahmud II, the Sultan of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, was very convinced that he was the last Sultan of the Ottoman Turkish Empire - how could he not be the last? After the group of barbaric Rakshasa people entered Rumelia,

Suddenly, he became a Roman who came back to restore his country!

The Sultan had received an urgent report from Hussein Pasha who was stationed on the front line of Edirne (Adriaple), and learned that the Rakshasa people had impatiently launched the Roman eagle banner they had prepared long ago. The Tsar

He began to call himself Caesar of the Roman Empire, and gave the twenty-two Rakshasa infantry divisions and cavalry divisions he led the Legion designation of the Roman Empire.

Under Nicholas I's coquettish operation, the Orthodox Christians in Greece and Rumelia were all excited. They really thought that it was not the bear but the Roman king they had been waiting for day and night. Their Roman motherland was about to die.

Glorious again.

Of course, this view cannot be said to be wrong. In Rome, it is very Roman for a barbarian commander to become an emperor! Nicholas I was a barbarian who loved Rome, believed in the Orthodox Church, and theoretically inherited part of the legal traditions of the Palaeolian Dynasty.

General?

As long as he can regain Constantinople, which fell in 376 years, then he will undoubtedly be the new Roman emperor!

So after Nicholas I's "Roman Barbarian Legion" entered northern Rumelia Province (Bulgaria), they were welcomed by the local "Roman remnants" who still adhered to the Orthodox faith. People held salt and bread and shed tears.

Singing the song "You Will Return Like Lightning" in memory of Constantine XI, many passionate young people directly joined the "Roman Barbarian Legion". Almost no Orthodox subjects of the Turkish Empire realized that their Turkey

The motherland is being invaded by Rakshasa people!

But the Turkish officials and Tianfang believers in this place suffered. They were either killed by the fanatical Orthodox Christians, or they greased the soles of their feet and fled back to Constantiniya, leaving behind the properties they had managed to acquire and bringing back one after another.

A sad news that directly hits people's hearts.

When the news of the "Return of Rome" came to the capital of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, most of the residents in this city felt deep despair. Because most of the residents in this city were neither Romans nor Romans.

The remnants of the Fanar people are not low-class Christian Armenians from Asia Minor, or even serious Turks, but the officers and soldiers of the Janissary Regiment that have been suppressed and disbanded by the Sudan.

Descendants and family members.

The early members of the Yenicheri Legion were all boys from Christian families in the Balkan Peninsula, which was ruled by Turkey. They were forcibly conscripted to Constantiniya and grew up in the barracks of the Jenicheri Legion.

They received the influence of Tianfang religion and strict military training, and of course they also had to learn culture. When they grew up to be qualified Yenicheri warriors, they were required to make the military camp their home and the Sultan their father. They must not retire from the army before

They are allowed to get married and have children. But when they reach the age when they must retire from the legion, they are already elderly, have lived in Constantiniya for half their lives, and no longer have anything to do with their original families. And in the king

Stantiniya also has their career and circle - they are not old beggars with nothing, they are people who are quite close to the power circle of the empire and can easily get official positions. Therefore, most of them are qualified to get married.

Give birth to children and leave descendants.

As the number of descendants of the Jenichery Legion increased, Constantinople gradually became a city for the legion’s families and descendants. Even with the promotion of these legion’s families and descendants, the city of Jenichery

The Legion's "Scout System" and the tradition of "not marrying a wife or having children" before retirement were also completely lost. So the Legion instituted a hereditary military service system, and the descendants of the Nayenichery Legion began to join the army for generations, and through military service

After obtaining official positions, they evolved into the Ottoman version of the "Eight Banners Nobility" entrenched in Constantinople. The reason why the previous reforms of the Ottoman Turkish Empire were difficult was also because of their existence.

Even if Sultan Mahmud II suppressed the Yenicherry Army, he couldn't massacre all the residents and bureaucrats of his capital, right?

And to a certain extent, the Sultan himself, like Constantiniya's "Eight Banners", his Turkic blood has been so thin that it is not decent - there are no Turkic women in the Sultan's harem, they are all snatched

Or bought European white beauties. Moreover, the Sultan did not trust the "kings of the valleys" (Ottoman nobles) living in Asia Minor. What he trusted was Constantinier's "own people".

Therefore, Sultan Mahmoud's suppression of the Yenicheri Legion was actually an internal strife among the Constantinians. But no matter how the internal strife was, everyone was a grasshopper on a rope.

For them, although the empire was large, all they really owned was Constantiniya!

If they lose Constantinople, they will have nothing and nowhere to go, and the new Romans will not allow them to continue to exist - that is the bear version of Rome, how cruel!

In the early morning of May 5th, the Sultan, who had just completed the morning ritual, had already put on a Western-style military uniform and his own little red hat. Surrounded by a group of pashas and new army officers, he boarded the gate of Topkapi Palace.

Tower. The nine-horse tail station flag, symbolizing the Sultan's personal conquest, and the green holy flag of the Tianfang religion, symbolizing the authority of the Caliphate, also slowly rose on the tower at the main entrance of Topkapi Palace.

The square outside the palace gate seemed a bit noisy and chaotic at this time, and it was also crowded with people. There were probably two to three hundred thousand people crowded there. There were "Constantinians" onlookers in the square - all

They were women, children and elderly people; there were also young adults wearing New Army uniforms, little red hats on their heads, and carrying new British Bess rifles.

This city in despair has been fully mobilized!

When people in the square saw Sultan Mahmud II, whom they hated but had to support, they all stopped talking and became quiet.

The Sultan looked at these people in the square who were almost bringing down the Ottoman Empire's national destiny. His nose felt sore and tears were about to fall. He managed to hold back from crying. Then he walked to a loudspeaker and spoke loudly.

He opened his throat and started his mobilization speech loudly: "Compatriots, although the Turkish Empire is large, we only have Constantiniya! Constantiniya is not only our home for generations, but also everything to us! If

We lose Constantiniya, and we will all have nothing! You must have known that our enemies have raised the flag of Rome. This means that there will no longer be any compromises between us and them, and there will no longer be any compromises.

Mercy, there is no longer the possibility of coexistence. All that is left is life and death! Every Ottoman in Constantinople who believes in the true God now has only one choice, and that is to fight, either to die gloriously or to win!

And I, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, the Caliph of the Tianfang Sect, and the shadow of the true God in the world, Mahmoud II, will go on an expedition with you to the Edinel front line, where we will fight together and win together.

We would rather die than take a step back! If we are destined to lose our lives in this battle to defend Constantiniya, then my soul will carry the souls of every soldier who fought and died with me. Together.

Go to God’s Kingdom of Heaven!”

As soon as the Sultan finished speaking, the square of Topkapi Palace suddenly boiled with cheers, like a tsunami, rushing towards Sultan Mahmoud II. The Sultan closed his tears and listened to the last cheers of his people.

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