sultan's crescent

Chapter 45 Open a single chapter to explain

What some book friends may not understand is that the protagonist said that he wants to reform what exactly he reformed, and he seems to have not seen it at all.

In fact, this is due to the subject itself. Foreign history is also a minority in the entire history channel, and the Ottoman Empire is even a minority in the minority.

For example, Daming, if I write about Daming, everyone can guess how to write it, because it is nothing more than the three tricks, all of which are badly written.

But the Ottoman Empire is different. Firstly, the reader’s understanding of himself is definitely not as good as our country’s history. Secondly, the time period I chose is not a highlight moment.

The combination of the two leads to less understanding of everyone, so everyone doesn't quite understand what the protagonist is like, why they keep calling for reform and there is no movement.

So let's make it clear that the premise of reform is to have power. Does Selim have it?No!

I said in the words of the author of Chapter 43 that the power of the Ottoman sultan has been greatly divided, and this is only the central power (you must be clear here, centralization and absolute monarchy are not centralized or absolute monarchy. are two different concepts and should not be confused).

What is the situation in Selim, the central power has been divided, and the local power is too large (this is actually due to the state system of the Ottoman Empire, I wrote before why the Ottoman Empire did not annex Wallachia and Moore In fact, Davia didn’t mention one thing. The wealth extracted by the Ottoman Empire from the two duchies through the tax system is far better than its own direct rule. The former is four times the latter.)
This has led to the Ottoman Empire's preference for the tax package system, and has raised a large number of local tyrants, including the Anatolian region.

But this group of tyrants is different from the feudal towns in the late Tang Dynasty. They are not as big as the feudal towns, so they dare not directly confront the central government, and the central government can basically appoint a governor with one word.

But the central government can't do too much, too much, everyone can think of any situation.

The problem is that there are many local tyrants, and there are people in the center who decentralize power. Centuries of evils, integrated interest groups, and Austria and Russia are eyeing each other.

In this way, if you come up and reform directly, that is courting death.

Therefore, it is necessary to centralize power first (here refers to the concentration of power in the hands of the monarch), reduce the vassal, win over, suppress, and divide and disintegrate the opponent.

To accomplish these goals, what is needed? For example, force is indispensable, so everyone will see a situation where partial reforms are carried out while centralization of power and reduction of vassals.

This makes you feel why the protagonist does this for a while and does that for a while, as if there is no plan.

Some book friends asked that the protagonist's basic disk is not obvious, so I directly answered that he does not have a basic disk.

Because the needs of the current vested interest groups basically conflict with Sudan’s reform direction, where is the basic situation of this situation? It’s not normal.

Finally, a book friend asked me to talk about the reform plan. How can a multi-ethnic and multi-religious country be reformed with the examples I mentioned above?
In fact, everyone who reads historical texts should understand that the basic disk is very important, who is the basic disk of Sudan
This has to go back to the state system of the Ottoman Empire that I mentioned before. His grassroots communities are basically dominated by local tyrants.

For example, the central government once directly appointed the governor of a province, but the former governor was unwilling and won the direct general election and refused to step down. The central government had no choice

Finally, let's ask for follow-up and collection. Compared with before, the collection and collection ratio is almost halved, and the new collection is also like this.

If you still don't understand in the future, you can leave a message and I will answer.

Niche subjects are not easy, let alone the niche among the niche, I hope everyone can support it.
