Chapter 47
"Let me guess, Justinian, the guards should be among them, I underestimated Aladdin Pasha, this guy is a poisonous snake.

The Armenians should also be involved. Abraham stole a lot of their business. These vampires are not people who are willing to let go.

There should be a few of these Orthodox Christians in Greece. The Fanars are good at fooling people, otherwise they wouldn't have been diplomats of the empire for hundreds of years.

The Grand Mufti may not be involved, his Ulema is not monolithic, so be careful. "

Justinian nodded and said.

"As you said, Your Majesty, these people are generally the ones who helped the Fanar people."

Selim smiled playfully.

"These bastards seem to be really impatient. They wanted to cut the flesh with blunt knives, but one by one, they were more anxious than me, and went straight to cutting the head.

However, did Simon explain it so quickly?I thought he would pull you up twice, "

Justinian replied.

"Your Majesty, for Simon Ducasse, nothing is more important than the survival of the family.

So when I approached him with the condition of a pardon, Simon immediately agreed to my request. "

In fact, if you cut into Simon's perspective, I guess he also knows that no matter how much you cooperate, the possibility of you really letting the Fanars go is quite small.

But the problem is that, as long as there is a chance, Simon - Dukas thinks he must go for it.

In his opinion, the entire family was forcibly kidnapped by the lunatic Antimos in this assassination.

And this is the reason for his ineffective supervision.

Simon thought that he, as the former secret agent of the Fanars in the Balkans, was the person in charge of this matter, but under his nose, he was played by Antimos, leading to such a disaster.

This made him almost want to apologize with death. "

"According to what you said, Simon Ducasse is ready to bite others?" Selim asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, according to your arrangement, I have asked him to start preparing testimony and statements. I wonder when you plan to start dealing with this matter?"

"It's not in a hurry now. You should prepare for it. Let Constantinier prepare for it. Let's go back and leave it to Abdullah Pasha. I want to see the Constantinier gang. When the chopsticks are being pointed at by a gun, can you tell me the flowers."

Selim sneered.

"Your Majesty, from Constantinier's side, according to the current news, Bonaparte and Aladdin Pasha have maintained a relatively restrained state.

According to what you mean, Bonaparte did not choose to capture him directly, but waited for the riot of the Guards to solve them once and for all. "

After hearing Justinian's words, Selim fell into deep thought.

He urgently needs to review the entire incident.

According to Selim's original plan, this trip to Thessaloniki should be sure.

There must be a wealthy Greek family who couldn't help jumping out to make a living, and then Selim sent Justinian to deal with the opponent directly, followed by arrest, interrogation and trial, and then a big purge.

Then get rid of a group of powerful Greek families, and then use the post-war reconstruction qualifications of the two principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia (the main components of Romania today) to appease the remaining Greek noble families to achieve a win-win situation.

In this case, Selim has basically solved the Greek region, plus Egypt that has already been acquired and Anatolia that is more supportive of him.

When he returned to Constantiniya, Selim could send the Guards away in a wave, and by the way, put the hat of the Vlach nobles on the heads of the nobles who intended to participate in the murder of the Sultan. As for whether there is any evidence, "no need to" find out.

If all this is completed according to the established plan, Selim can prepare to promulgate the "Flower Hall Imperial Edict" 50 years in advance. (The original time and space were jointly led by the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Mejid I and Grand Vizier Mustafa Reshid Pasha, which kicked off the reform of Tanzimat)

However, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Selim didn't expect that the centuries-old interest group would be so aggressive.

According to Selim's deduction, it should be Sudan who cut his flesh with a blunt knife, and vested interest groups protested, so Sudan made a symbolic concession.

Everyone was cut off, then protested, and the Sudan then made some small concessions. In this cycle, the revival of the empire is just around the corner.

But this group of bastards couldn't afford to play, so impatient, they just imitated Emperor Han Jing and held the chessboard on other people's foreheads.

But Selim couldn't figure it out. I'm the sultan, okay? It's up to me to turn things around, and you can't run away.

Depressed for a while, Selim decided to comfort himself with Ottoman characteristics. After all, "My Ottoman Empire has its own national conditions here", which is understandable and understandable.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing to tell you that the Armenians are not easy to deal with, or it is difficult for us to deal with each other based on this incident alone.

It is different from the nobles of Frach who were severely injured, the Fanars who were directly captured by you, the Guards who were destined to be wiped out by you, and the Ulema who must obey your will as the caliph of the Islamic world.

The Armenians are strong and they are largely undiminished.

They control the trade in the eastern part of the empire. Even though you have given Abraham a lot of help, the strength of the Jews is still far behind that of the Armenians.

Moreover, the Armenians are not like the Orthodox Millet. The Patriarch of the main district of Constantiniya can only be said to have the highest status among the Armenians, but he is unable to command the other three major divisions.

This makes it impossible to rely on Patriarch Nicholas against Armenians like you can against Orthodox Christians. "

After listening to Justinian's words, Selim did not make a sound.

In fact, Selim himself knows that it is too abstract to overthrow or completely subdue the Armenians based on the matter of the Fanars alone.

Therefore, we still have to take our time. After Abraham relies on the seigniorage to enhance the hematopoietic ability of the empire, let these Armenian soil turtle financiers see what the power of the central bank is.

This is like you are still using bows and arrows. I have already played with satellite guidance and precise strikes. The two sides are not on the same level, just crush and finish.

As for the Millet system, it needs to be changed, and the homework of the Republic can be copied directly.

At any rate, it is a culmination of absorbing the experience of a certain Soviet disintegration. Selim doesn't think that he has the ability to create one by himself at his level.

Of course, the specific details still need to be discussed, brainstormed, and then revised.

After all, the national conditions of the Ottoman Empire are still quite different from those of the Republic, and it is wrong to copy it mechanically, and you will make mistakes.

　Is this relatively long explanation acceptable to everyone?

　　In fact, there are many things that are much longer than this. Due to my personal ability, I can’t talk too briefly, so if you have any questions in the future, please remember to leave a message. I’d better open a single chapter and talk about it.

　　Finally, ask for follow-up and collection.
