sultan's crescent

Chapter 57 Work together!

In response to this situation, Selim decided to improve the original land system while establishing local administrative institutions.

Sultan continued.

"Of course, the state will not take these lands in vain.

According to the previously mentioned administrative divisions, let’s take provinces (that is, the districts mentioned above), cities, counties, and townships as an example.

Every time a family or individual handed over the land taxation rights equivalent to a city, they could get the right to recommend county-level officials to the Sudan.

The rest, and so on, I won't say much.

As for serfdom, each family that owns slaves counts the number of slaves, and the state pays for the redemption. What do you think? "

As soon as Sudan's voice fell, everyone immediately looked at Manuk Kara Osman, who was the largest serf owner in the empire, not one of them.

Not only that, the army on hand of this person is also quite strong. During the turmoil in the previous few months, it was this person who helped Sudan stabilize the situation in eastern Anatolia and Mesopotamia.

It can be said that the Sultan can force anyone here to agree to his conditions. After all, everyone has something to do with Aladdin's rebellion, and with no soldiers at hand, naturally they don't have the guts to be tough.

But this one is different. As one of the heroes, the dignified Sultan, if he did such things as killing donkeys, crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, and cooking rabbits to death, he would not have a bit of imperial style.

As long as the Sultan dares to do it, some people who have not been liquidated and survived the disaster will dare to contact Aladdin Pasha who fled to Russia, and let the Sultan understand what is the iron fist of internal and external integration.

The Austro-Russian Intervention Army plus the troops of Kara Ottoman and the Syrian and Arab tycoons are enough to cut off Egypt's support to Anatolia, and these Balkan waste snacks only dare to sit on the sidelines and overthrow the Sudan, just around the corner.

While the remnants were frantically making up their minds, Manuk Kara Osman gave an unbelievable answer.

"Follow your will, Your Majesty, your words are the creed of the Kara Osman family. Serfdom should have been abandoned by the times long ago, and accepting the leadership of the Sultan is what every citizen of the empire should do."

A group of participants were all stunned by Manuk Kara Osman's speech. What's the situation, let's pretend to be a saint, right? It's not like everyone doesn't know what kind of virtue your family has.

Blacks, whites, Greeks, Armenians, Bulgarians, Circassians (an ethnic group originating from the Georgia region and are Muslims).

The entire Kara Osman family said they were serf owners, it was an insult to your family, and it was almost like a big slave trader. There are all kinds of ethnic groups, just like collectors.

But everyone has nothing to do, because the intelligence is asymmetric, and they don't know what the Sudan used to win over the old man Manuk.

Even if he knew, it was impossible to win Manuk's team in such a short period of time.

Seeing the faces of all the officials, Selim felt a burst of laughter, and he waved his hands.

"Since there are no objections, let's move on to the next round.

Regarding the reorganization of the army of the empire.

I have a proposal below. "

Halfway through his speech, Selim was planning to have a big talk, but found that the venue was a bit too quiet.

Sudan looked down and saw that some of the participants had already started paddling.

"Everyone, pay attention. This meeting is very important. Everyone is one of the helmsmen of the big ship of the Ottoman Empire. We need to work together!"

Sudan's voice was like thunder, and many officials who had already lost their minds immediately turned their attention back to the meeting in front of them.

But everyone really didn't care to listen to the meeting. A Diwan meeting was no different from Sudan's personal speech. What kind of stand-alone meeting, the online version has been discontinued, right?

It's a pity that Sultan didn't want to pay attention to everyone's reaction. He continued his personal speech with the mentality of "Although you see me very uncomfortable, but you just can't kill me".

"Listen everyone, the traditional army is no longer up to the duty of defending the empire, so I decided..."

When Selim was still conducting his autocratic meeting in Topkapi Palace, France had already come up with her own traditional ability - wrangling.

Taking advantage of Napoleon's opportunity to capture Louis XVI, Roland successfully overthrew the current leader of the Girondins, Brissot, and became the leader of the National Constituent Assembly.

Although Robespierre was attacked by Roland, he refused to admit it, and instead claimed that Roland had known the news of the king's escape from Paris.

Relying on his tough political style and revolutionary attitude, Robespierre successfully ousted the former chairman of the Jacobin Party and became the leftist leader of the National Constituent Assembly.

As for Count Mirabeau and General Lafayette, the former had despaired of Louis XVI. He committed suicide on the day Louis XVI was captured and returned to Paris, leaving behind a sentence.

With my death, the last remnant of the monarchy will die.

——Mirabeau said to Talleyrand before he died

Talleyrand wrote on January 1790, [-]: "The count's blood stained the bathroom, which was the last struggle against the world during the revolution by a man who tried to preserve the king and wish the people happiness. .

The mad dog from Provence died. He was neither assassinated nor committed suicide. He was just smashed to pieces in front of the torrent of the times. "

As for Lafayette, he tried unsuccessfully to take the king under his protection when Napoleon welcomed him back.

After hearing Lafayette's demands, the National Guard mutinied.

The loyalty cultivated by the Bourbon royal family for hundreds of years was destroyed in less than a few months in the French Revolution.

Lafayette was deported, and he went to England to wait for the day he could return.

At this point, the constitutional monarchy, which should have stepped down in 1792, left the game early with the suicide of Count Mirabeau and the expulsion of Lafayette.

The Girondists representing the industrial and commercial bourgeoisie took control of France. The victorious Roland was very happy. He awarded Napoleon the rank of major general and appointed the latter as the governor of Paris.

Since the outbreak of the French Revolution, French Queen Marie Antoinette's brother, Holy Roman Emperor Leopold has been concerned about the safety of his sister and her family.

He grew more and more apprehensive, but feared that interfering in French affairs would make their position even more dangerous.

However, after the disaster on the frontier and the upheaval in Paris, Leopold felt compelled to voice his concerns.

He therefore invited Frederick William II, King of Prussia, and Count Artois, brother of Louis XVI, to Pillnitz Castle outside Dresden.

On January 1790, [-], the three issued a joint statement here.The three parties that signed the statement declared that the plight of King Louis XVI of France had become "the concern of all the sovereigns of Europe".

If the other powers are willing to cooperate - they will be ready to restore the true French monarchy.

Leopold was well aware that the government of William Pitt in London would never support such a move, but he hoped the statement would at least give some comfort to his sister, brother-in-law, and French Royalists in exile.

Maybe he didn't think there would be serious consequences for doing so, but who knows?
　Some book friends felt that I didn't push the plot in the last chapter. I thought about it for a while. In the future, it is better to post a single chapter to explain this kind of science.

　　Thank you for your understanding, book friends, please read it by the way.
