Chapter 67

"I have a general understanding of everyone's situation. It is not God's will to let the warriors of the empire retire. The most vicious thieves are still rampant in the empire, and the people need everyone's protection.

In order to jointly build a bright future for the empire, I think you will definitely charge forward, wipe out the bandits, and restore the peace of the empire.

So I decided to arrange for everyone to go out in a few days to clean up the bandits. What do you think? "

Selim had finished speaking, but the Sipahi cavalry below fell silent collectively.

After all, everyone thought that Sudan would give a sum of money and a few pieces of land so that everyone could live a good retirement life.

But what is the operation of eliminating bandits, the secondary use of waste.

The lessons learned by the Guards are still there. The reason why the Sipahi cavalry came here is to make some money.

No one responded to Sudan's words, and the atmosphere at the scene became more and more dignified.

Fortunately, many officers of the Sipahi cavalry were well-informed, and hurriedly led a group of "non-violent non-cooperation" elements to thank the Sudan, and then returned to the camp.

Looking at the Sipahi cavalry going away, Yusuf Pasha sighed.

"Your Majesty, will this be too much?"

Before Yusuf Pasha finished speaking, Selim interrupted him.

"First, Yusuf, you have to understand that no one gets something for nothing.

Second, they just need to cooperate with me.

Third, we have more important things to discuss, so we don't need to waste too much time on them.

Let's go, Yusuf. "

Sultan said with a smile, turned and walked back to Topkapi Palace, Yusuf followed behind Sultan, step by step.

Inside the Baghdad Palace, Selim and Yusuf are discussing the planning of Constantiniya.

After killing the guards and expelling this bunch of garbage people, Constantinier urgently needs to replenish high-end talents.

Considering the quality of the local population, Selim decided to open up multiple channels to supplement Constantinier.

The French Revolution intensified, and people continued to go into exile.

Aristocrats, constitutional monarchists, republicans, you name it.

Generals, technical personnel, diplomatic ambassadors, politicians, everything.

France is not only a place where revolutions are exported, but also a place where talents are exported.

Although most of these people would choose to go into exile in the UK, but Selim didn't believe that he would give them enough good treatment, so they would not come.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"Didn't the Guards leave a lot of real estate behind, let's tidy up the inside, divide it by grade, and create a temporary residence area and a permanent residence area at the same time.

This is the basis of the talent introduction plan. Temporary residence areas can be provided to those who need political asylum. Many people in France have already fled.

Long live area.

First of all, on the Jewish side, the situation of the Sephardic Jews dominating the empire should change if Abraham is kept from it. A fence-sitter is not a qualified courtier of the Sultan.

Secondly, try to see if you can recruit some engineers and scientists who are frustrated in European countries. The empire can provide them with better treatment. "

Yusuf nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, maybe we can expand the scope a little bit, and it might be worth a try in the Americas."

Hearing Yusuf Pasha's words, Selim frowned, but he remembered an American inventor.

Fulton, the later inventor of the steam ship, said that Westminster was the manufacturer of the first steam ship, but firstly, the ship he built was not of practical value, and secondly, he was forced to give up.

Besides, Selim remembered that Fulton had already arrived in Paris in 1793 in the original time and space, and had served Napoleon.

It's just that after nine years, it still failed, and later switched to the United Kingdom, but because the French navy that Admiral Nelson fought in the Trajafar naval battle was almost wiped out, it became less and less important.

Finally moved back to the United States, and in 1807 built the first steam ship "Claremont" that could sail stably.

At this time, it was only a year since he left the UK.

This person can indeed be pocketed, but it is not worth fighting.

It's just a pity that Selim didn't know much about the famous inventors and scientists of this period.

Another known is Stephenson, who later built the first steam locomotive.

But now, Stephen Sun seems to be only nine years old.

Selim nodded.

"You can pay attention to the Americas. It seems that the empire has not yet established an embassy with each other. Let's choose someone to handle this matter.

The focus of the empire should still be on Europe.

You remember to inform the imperial embassies in various European countries and the Karmany Pasha in Paris.

Tell the Ashkenazi Jews in Europe that if you can, you can be the Samuel Oppenheimer or the Samson Wertheimer of the Ottoman Empire.

Not only that, the treatment that the sultans can give is much higher than that of the Habsburg emperors, as long as they are willing to serve faithfully.

As for scientists and inventors, let the people in the imperial embassy pay more attention. "

Yusuf Pasha nodded and replied.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After seeing Yusuf off, Selim got up and left the Baghdad palace.

It was already night, and Sultan desperately wanted to take a walk in Topkapi Palace, so as to relieve his nightmare experience of being forced to marry.

Outside the Baghdad Palace under the moonlight, the ornamental flowers and trees on both sides have already lost their leaves after experiencing the cold winter, leaving only dead branches stretching to the sky.

This reminded Selim of a legend about the Ottoman court.

At the time of Mehmed II the Conqueror, the Ottoman Empire was still on its way to conquering the duchies of Moldavia and Wallachia.

Vlad III, Grand Duke of Wallachia at that time, was one of the main forces resisting the "Conqueror".

In the era of his birth, Moldavia, Wallachia, Hungary and other countries were oppressed by the Ottoman Empire and almost annexed.

He was brave and good at leading troops in battle. He repelled the "Conqueror" twice in the Battle of Tarvigostay and the Battle of White Valley. He dared to fight against the Ottoman Empire and was considered a hero who defended Wallachia.

However, he himself has complicated relations with Transylvania and Moldavia, and he has always been known for his strict law enforcement in Wallachia.Not only did he take Turkish captives, but he often used impalement on the nobles and common people of his own country, nailing people on sharp stakes at every turn.

Later, he left his name in the history books as the Duke of Piercing.

When he was finally defeated by Muhammad II, the "conqueror" played with his head and ordered it to be buried under the woods outside the Baghdad palace.

The Conqueror wanted to see if the dead impaler could turn trees into his favorite impalements too.

Although Selim thought it was nonsense, it was one of the few bedtime stories Sultan had when he was a child.

Bathed in the moonlight, Sudan walked towards the courtyard. For some reason, he always felt that there was a faint black shadow flashing under a tree not far from him.

　Please follow up. It’s so late because the book of the Great God is really worth learning. I’m still observing it.
