sultan's crescent

Chapter 64
After finding Paul, Selim took his guards and walked towards the imperial government.

Along the way, Selim has been thinking about a problem.

From the mother's point of view, it seems that Selim as a sultan is not worthy of Sophia as a British princess.

But, is this the truth?

As far as Selim knew, there were only three crowns in the whole of Europe.

If it is more harsh, there are only the crown belonging to the Ottoman Empire and the two half crowns belonging to the Holy Roman Empire and the Russian Empire.

Strictly speaking from a legal point of view, Leopold II and Catherine II might as well tie themselves up directly and dedicate them to the city of Constantine, in order to ask the great Eastern Roman Empire Selim the Great to forgive themselves The crime of pretending to be honorable.

After all, the crown of the Ottoman Empire was inherited from the Eastern Roman Empire.

The so-called Roman orthodoxy has been transferred to Constantinople since 330 AD when Emperor Constantine built Constantinople, which is today's Constantinople.

Later Theodosius I divided the Roman Empire into two, but the orthodoxy of Rome remained in Constantinier forever.

Especially after the fall of the Western Roman Empire in AD 476, Rome was, and will only be, Eastern Rome.

But when the time came to the end of the eighth century AD, the Eastern Roman Empire at this time underwent a tremendous change.

Empress Dowager Irina immediately poached his eyes because her son Constantine VI threatened her power. A few days later, Constantine VI died and Irina was crowned emperor.

But Irina is a scum with extremely limited abilities. She is unable to protect the Holy See in the west, and is unable to help it resist the Lombards' attack.

Under such circumstances, Charlemagne, who had won most of Western Europe through the South and North Wars, and thought he was enough to become an emperor, got together with the Holy See, who just couldn't find someone to take advantage of to protect the Holy See. The two sides hit it off.

In this way, the Holy See was protected, and Charlemagne relied on the coronation of the Holy See to obtain a crown, an unconvincing crown, and thus stole the title that belonged exclusively to the Roman Emperor.

The crown of Rome came from Augustus, and it was stained with religious color by the time of Constantine I, but why did the emperor of Rome need someone else's coronation?
Even after Christianity was established as the state religion of Rome, the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire was the supreme leader of God in the world, and the Patriarch of Constantinople was also under the emperor.

After Charlemagne spent his miserable life with a fake crown, his despicable successor did even more despicable deeds. Otto I, the shameless guy, actually forged a crown and went around. Proclaim yourself emperor of the Romans.

As for the follow-up Frederick the Redbeard, he was no different from a clown.

Presumptuously adding the word "holy" in front of Rome is simply the greatest insult to Rome.

Selim thought of a more shameless country, the so-called "Third Rome", after he was frantically exporting to the Holy Roman Empire that didn't want Bilian.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to marry Sophia of Paleoleg, the niece of Constantine XI, the last emperor of Eastern Rome, Ivan III, a Russian barbarian, arbitrarily declared himself to be the Third Rome.

In terms of pure blood, the Rurik family is not as good as the Ottoman family who married several Eastern Roman princesses. As for the later Romanov, it is almost even inferior to Rurik, a high-quality imitation.

And Rurik only dared to give himself the title of Tsar (that is, Caesar in Latin, referring to deputy emperor, lower than Augustus), but Peter I, a shameless guy, used the name of the so-called Russian Senate to give himself the title of Czar. After being promoted to emperor, it is no wonder that many European countries are still only called Tsarist Russia.

From a historical point of view, almost no country is qualified to claim Roman orthodoxy before the Ottoman Empire, and no monarch is qualified to think that he is more suitable for the title of Roman Emperor than Selim.

Of course, such shameless people as Habsburgs and Romanovs, Selim didn't care about each other.

It doesn't matter if you are arrogant now. When Emperor Saida finishes integrating the Ottoman Empire, he will put you on the ground and give you a good beating.

After reaffirming his Roman orthodoxy in his heart, the Sultan happily went to the seat of the imperial government.

The sultan is not worthy of a British princess anymore. After searching through the history of Britain, I can't even find a crown. Selim's marriage to Sophia is simply the best in Britain.

When he arrived at the gate of the imperial government, Selim did not show up directly, but hid in the dark and observed for a while.

Sudan's mood gradually became serious, and the Sipahi cavalry did not choose to make trouble.

They adopted the method of sit-in and demonstrations against the Gala banner, which made it impossible for the Ottoman government to find any reason to slap each other.

The best trick in the world, "If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who has the problem," doesn't work here anymore.

Selim was a little depressed, why, Gandhi traveled to the Ottoman Empire at the end of the eighteenth century, and started the "non-violent non-cooperation" movement, right?

Check out this banner.

"I was wounded for the empire, I bled for the empire."

"Thirty years of fighting on the battlefield, in exchange for the abandonment of the empire."

"When an arm is broken on the battlefield, no tears are shed, but at home, children have no food to share in sorrow."

"I was exhausted on the battlefield, and now I don't even have a dilapidated house."

Sultan almost cried when he saw it, and Selim sympathized when he saw it.

In general, if Selim wasn't the Sultan, he would have been a little excited at this moment, and wanted to rush out to help others raise the flag.

However, the ass decides the head, and Selim will never compromise on this kind of matter, although from a certain point of view, this matter is indeed at the Sudan's fault.

After all, it was not the Sipahi cavalry who really benefited from the military fiefdom system. After all, these people could not inherit the land, and most of the benefits were actually taken away by officials.

Even from a certain point of view, the Sipahi cavalry is actually an ally of the Sudan.

As one of the two main forces of the empire, the Sipahi cavalry and the guards have always been at odds with each other. However, because the guards are in the center, the Sipahi cavalry is actually at a disadvantage in the line all the year round.

Therefore, in the auspicious event in the original time and space (named because it happened near the auspicious gate), when the guards rebelled again and planned to change the sultan.

Seeing that Mahmud II had been prepared, the Sipahi cavalry stood directly on the side of the sultan, joined forces with the new army to force the guards back to the camp, and then washed the ground with artillery fire, and sent the guards directly to see Allah .

Afterwards, Mahmoud II let the Sipahi cavalry enter the new army as the cavalry unit of the new army until the complete demise of the Ottoman Empire.

But the problem now is that Emperor Sai won the victory manually, and you, a theatergoer, are ashamed to join in the fun and want to get a share of the action.

How can there be such a good thing in the world, what the Sudan gives you is yours, and what you don’t give, you can’t ask for it.

　Here is another example of the Ottoman Empire being Roman orthodoxy.

　　In the Eastern Roman Empire, an infantryman of the Central Legion, an armored cavalryman, a Vadauritai cavalry archer, a Varangian guard, and a Praetorian soldier made an appointment to drink, and the infantry was late.

　　He said: "His Majesty just ordered us to go back and hold on first and then charge at full speed."

　　Paladin: "What is full speed?"

　　Vada Ruitai: "What is persistence?"

　　Varange: "What is an order?"

　　Janitor: "What is Your Majesty?"

　　How about it, is it very similar to the Ottoman Guards?

　　Finally, please follow up. I am writing Chapter 3. If it is not released today, it must be that I failed to evolve the three-watched beast.
