Chapter 48 There is a reversal

Selim's assessment of the current situation was indeed quite accurate, and his arrangements also successfully deterred the young people in the local area.

After receiving the news from Sudan, the Chapan family quickly conducted a survey of the northern and central parts of Anatolia.

After discovering that some remnants of the Janikli family were frequenting Trabzon, Suleiman quickly sent troops to suppress the possible rebellion.

After all, the Janikli family is still very powerful on the southern coast of the Black Sea. Even if the family has been wiped out, it is still worth guarding against.

Compared with the cautiousness of the Chapan family, the Kara Osman family was more direct. He directly put his army outside the city of Baghdad, and the local tyrants trembled with anger when they saw it.

The methods of the Kezan family are much more civilized. In the name of the banquet, the Kezan family controlled many powerful figures in Damascus in one fell swoop.

Considering that the Asian and African parts of the empire have not caused any waves, Selim believes that as long as he rushes back to Constantiniya and takes down the Guards, he will basically survive.

But the development of things has always been independent of human will. With no news from other provinces, Aladdin Pasha finally chose to put all his eggs in one basket.

On December 1789, [-], Aladdin Pasha launched an attack on Topkapi Palace, and Napoleon, who was guarding it, immediately fought.

In fact, Selim made a very stupid mistake here—political naivety.

In such a tense situation at the moment, no matter what, the best solution is to take the lead in controlling and placing Aladdin Pasha under house arrest.

Even if this method is impossible, you should try to kill Aladdin Pasha directly. A commanded rebellion and an uncommanded rebellion are completely different things.

The difficulty of suppressing the latter is much smaller than that of the former.

But Selim did not choose to do this. He chose to let Napoleon not act rashly for the sake of the so-called righteousness. At the same time, in order to pursue safety, he hoped that Napoleon would wait until the new Egyptian army arrived before making plans.

Under such circumstances, in Konstantinier's game of chess, Aladdin Pasha was the one holding the red piece, and the entire initiative could be said to be handed over to others.

But judging from the news from Napoleon, Aladdin Pasha, I have to say, has a way of playing tricks, engaging in political struggles, and building a united front.

But when it comes to his own job, the level of commanding and fighting can only be said to be very good.

More than 1 guards attacked Cape Hill, which was guarded by less than [-] new troops (Topkapi Palace is on this hill), and a large number of guards’ families were responsible for transporting supplies. As a result, they were defeated twice by Napoleon , almost crashed.

Considering the large difference in the quality of the troops of the two sides, the gap in tactical level between Aladdin Pasha and Napoleon, coupled with the unfavorable terrain of the Guards when they launched an attack.

Selim could understand this kind of battle situation, but Aladdin Pasha couldn't fight and couldn't fight, walked and couldn't go, what was the situation under the encirclement at the bottom of the Cape Mountain, Selim really didn't understand.

Why, I'm planning to set up camp in Constantiniya.

When the two sides confronted each other in the city of Constantiniya, Haji Pasha's army had already arrived in Edirne. There were two regiments of more than [-] people, commanded by Hussein Pasha, and Muhammad Ali Pasha as his deputy. .

After joining up with the Sultan, the army rushed all the way to Constantiniya.

On December 22, the army entered the city and quickly defeated the garrison on the city wall. However, when the army moved in, they found a large number of defeated soldiers in the city.

Behind the rout soldiers was an army chasing them.

"So, Your Majesty, it seems that we don't use it either."

Hussein Pasha couldn't help complaining. In fact, he felt that he was not used for support from the very beginning.

Aladdin Pasha's army strength was only more than twice that of Bonaparte's, and they were all iron trash like the Guards.If this cannot be beaten, Bonaparte will not be Bonaparte.

But what puzzled him was why Napoleon didn't choose to attack directly at first, but delayed for a few days. Of course, this was also the Sudan's doubts.

After the two armies merged, the rebels in the city were quickly wiped out.

After meeting Napoleon, everyone immediately talked about this issue.

"Bonaparte, at your level, why don't you attack directly and defeat him in one fell swoop?"

Selim asked curiously. He didn't mean to blame the God of War, but he couldn't understand the other party's behavior. Hussein on the side also echoed.

As for where Justinian went, for a rebellion of such a scale, would it make sense for secret agents not to preside over a purge?

"Your Majesty, you got a sum of money from Ali Pasha, the former chief of the Guards, right?"

Selim was a little confused. He really didn't understand why Napoleon suddenly mentioned a dead person, so he motioned for him to continue with his eyes.

"Your Majesty, what follows are just some speculations of mine. You can listen to them casually and treat them as a joke."

After Napoleon made an explanation, he continued.

"I suspect that this rebellion is likely to be related to Ali Pasha, the former head of the Guards who has died.

The first is the equipment problem. Aladdin Pasha used a lot of artillery when fighting me, which is one of the reasons why I didn't attack him directly. "

"Cannon?" Selim was a little surprised.

"Why didn't the news from Justinian mention what the spies are doing?"

Considering the other party's loyalty all along, Selim suppressed his doubts, and then listened to Napoleon's analysis.

"This batch of artillery was not produced by the military factory in Constantiniya, they are not very similar to the artillery on hand.

It was not produced in France either. During my service in the Raphael Artillery Regiment, I recognized almost all the artillery, and there was no such thing as the one used by Aladdin Pasha.

But I have seen guns of this type, my lord, and I think you may have seen them too. "

"I've seen it too?" Selim began to recall the picture of the artillery in his mind, he suddenly thought of a possibility, and asked immediately.

"Russian or Austrian? Bonaparte."

"Both, Your Majesty, after defeating Aladdin Pasha, I went to see the Empire's arsenal.

The Russian and Austrian artillery captured in the last war had disappeared, perhaps it was the batch that Aladdin Pasha had in hand. "

Napoleon said calmly.

Selim suddenly felt that he was a clown, thinking that Ali Pasha was going to get him, but he didn't expect that the other party planted a minefield for him with his backhand.

It's just, how did Napoleon determine that Ali Pasha did it.

"The reason why I speculate that Ali Pasha is related to this matter is mainly based on some things I have discovered now. Please listen to my details, Your Majesty."
