Jiang Xuan was ready quickly.
Three thousand troops were disguised as several caravans from Longyan. Needless to say, other goods and the like are abundant in India today.
Nowadays, the Longyan caravan is the most popular presence wherever it goes.
Generally speaking, there is someone waiting for them in the trading town before they arrive.
Coupled with the protection of the East India Company, Longyan merchants are still very safe walking in this desert.
Three thousand people.
Divide into zeros.
One hundred people per caravan, a total of thirty teams, setting off from thirty directions. This time, they mainly played the role of salt merchants. The entire Ottoman Empire is very short of salt, and they are eager to see the salt merchants from Longyan.
…
A few more days.
Istanbul.
Liu Zheng's letter to Hamid came late, but it was enough to make Hamid extremely excited.
Idol!
His idol has written! When he wrote to Liu Zheng, he never thought that he would actually reply to him! This kind of mood is simply out of the question.
The messenger was a child.
He quickly disappeared into the crowd.
After the old housekeeper handed the letter to Hamid, he waited quietly beside him.
Hamid opened the letter with almost trembling hands.
reform.
When he saw the contents of the letter, he was unbearably excited again.
really!
Even his idol is saying that only reform can save Osman! Only reform can restore the glory of the Ottoman Empire.
"mutiny?"
When he saw the back, Hamid's face changed slightly.
mutiny……
Yes.
His idol Liu Zheng actually wanted to support his rebellion!
For this reason, Liu Zheng stated his plan in the letter without hesitation.
1. The East Indian army is about to attack the Savi Dynasty. The Safavid dynasty was adjacent to the Ottomans, and this war would definitely alert the Ottoman Grand Vizier. Because once East India, which is at its peak, takes over the Safavid dynasty, it will directly come into "close" contact with the Ottomans, and the buffer zone between the two forces will no longer exist. Coupled with Osman, who had just suffered a big loss at the hands of these Longyan troops, Osman would not fail to consider this huge pressure.
In this way, the Ottomans will definitely participate in it and press the border with a large army. Although they will not directly participate in the war, they will definitely start to station heavy troops on the border in order to prevent East India from threatening the Ottoman border.
Of course, the last war between the Ottomans and the Safavids was a complete victory for the Safavids. At this time, it is very possible for Osman to take advantage of the situation and try to save face and revive morale.
Second, Hamid’s brother, Erdogan, is a loyal supporter of the Turkish Guards. On the contrary, Hamid was the strong backing of the Sipaxi cavalry. Therefore, if Hamid wants to mutiny, it is not impossible. At least if he raises his voice, many people in the cavalry class will definitely be willing to follow him.
Third, trade sanctions are a diplomatic strategy. Today's Ottomans, or the entire Central Asia, even Africa, and Europe, have a huge demand for Long Yan's refined salt, and have even become dependent on it. During the war, if the East India Company interrupted the supply of refined salt to support Hamid's rise to power, the entire Ottoman political situation would undergo great changes.
"this……"
Hamid was shocked by Liu Zheng's suggestion.
mutiny?
He never dared to consider this before!
but……
Liu Zheng in the letter spoke so clearly.
Hamid's breathing began to become rapid.
all of these……
It seems to be easy to achieve.
Not difficult.
Yes, it is not difficult, he is the son of the Sultan! He has the right to inherit the kingdom! Why should the Grand Vizier be kept in control of the government?
"Your Highness..."
The old housekeeper was standing next to him, looking at Hamid like this, getting up angrily, and then pacing back and forth.
The scene was quiet for a while.
Hamid's breathing changed from rapid to calm, and then from calm to rapid.
Fists, sometimes clenched, sometimes unclenched.
finally.
He gritted his teeth!
The idol is right!
Osman, can't stand this kind of torture anymore!
Ottoman must be reformed!
At the end.
In the letter, Liu Zheng also added.
Remember, political power comes from the barrel of a gun.
Look!
Look at what idols say!
Domineering!
Power comes from the barrel of a gun!
Dry!
He looked back at the old butler and smiled faintly: "Mohad, are you afraid of death?"
The old butler was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Your Highness is right. My old man has old bones, why should I be afraid of dying?"
Hamid's eyes flashed: "You said those cavalry, are they afraid of death?"
"What?"
When the old housekeeper heard this, his expression changed greatly.
But with a look of joy on his face, he also began to tremble: "Your Highness, you are finally, you are finally..."
Only then did Hamid know.
It turns out that including the old housekeeper, they were all waiting for him to make this decision?
"good!"
Hamid was immediately confident.
Since there are so many people waiting for him, what else is he afraid of?
"Mohad, I still need you to deliver some letters, but..."
Hamid knew that this matter must be kept secret, so he looked at the old butler solemnly.
The old housekeeper burst into tears: "I will die for Your Highness!"
"good!"
Hamid laughed like crazy and burst into tears.
"Father, I'm sorry for you..."
…
"Get out!"
"You medieval losers!"
"Is this a place you can stay?"
at this time.
After the Ottoman front tightened, something like this happened in almost every garrison camp. That is the Yenicheris, who will not look good on these Sipaxi cavalry at all, and have even begun to speak rudely!
Because their view is that the Ottomans' recent defeat in Vienna and the defeat in Bombay Port were all caused by the Sipaxi cavalry's increasingly weakened combat effectiveness and increasingly negligible strategic position, and their reuse. !
They believe that Sipaxi should have withdrawn from the stage of history long ago!
So as to save the Empire from spending on their cumbersome and expensive weapons and equipment, and give them Yenicherry!
"you……"
"Don't go too far!"
"We, the majestic Sipaxi cavalry, live and die for the empire, are we allowed to live in stables?"
Sipaxi, on the other hand, was extremely angry.
The Sipaxi cavalry, once the pride of the Ottoman Empire, swept across Europe! Now they have fallen into this situation. They have just returned from the battlefield, and there is not even a camp for them here!
Is it just because Yanichery is close to the Grand Vizier and the Grand Prince Erdogan?
Not convinced!
They are not convinced!
then.
With the two major defeats, the conflict between Sipahi and Yenicheri began to completely intensify.
For several days in a row, small-scale battles or even fights broke out between the two arms, or the two military groups, in many camps.
The entire Ottoman Empire was in chaos.
