The Crescent of the Sultan

Chapter 158 If You Act Decisively, You Will Get It for Free

Saps didn't think much about it. After his four younger brothers had assembled their troops, he led more than 15,000 troops to Bitlis and the Emirate of Botan.

However, although Saps was not very smart, he still found a reason for himself, that is, to meet the Sultan, hoping to go to Persia with the Sultan.

The two emirs of Bitlis and Botan had already obtained the information they wanted at this time.

Behind this Armenian businessman are Russia, Aladdin Pasha and Armenian financiers. As for the purpose, it is naturally to incite them to rebel together.

In the eyes of Emperor Sai, the reason why the Armenians reacted so strongly this time is actually a matter of degree.

Originally, the trade protection bill and import restriction order issued by Muhammad Izzet were disgusting enough for them. Now as a sultan, he actually wants to extend his hand further to the Arabian Peninsula and the eastern part of the Ottoman Empire, which is something the Armenians can no longer tolerate.

In the history of the Ottoman Empire, especially after the gradual decline of the Jews, the Armenians and the Greeks became the business tycoons of the Ottoman Empire. The two can be said to control the eastern part of the empire and the western part of the empire respectively. As for the Muslims, any valuables, go aside.

After Sayyid the Great killed the Phanar people, the power of the Greeks gradually merged with the local nobles selected by Sayyid the Great, and together they were under the Ottoman royal family, and began to develop an internal economic cycle under government supervision.

The Greeks had found a way out for themselves by bowing to the Ottoman government, but the Armenians had no way out.

Under the impact of the trade protection bill and the import restriction order, the Armenians returned to their old business (inherited their ancestral business) and continued to carry out vigorous export (smuggling) activities. As for who the trader was, Dai Ying came uninvited.

As early as before the Clive era, the Armenians had already communicated with the major East India companies, and the two sides signed trade agreements. Many high-quality raw materials were purchased directly by the Armenians from the Ottoman Empire and Persia (the Ottoman Empire owned Western Armenia, and Persia owned Eastern Armenia), and then sold to these companies, and then traded a lot of things back to sell.

However, as Daiying gradually eliminated other competitors, the Armenians kept pace with the times and signed an agreement directly with Daiying, which is why Britain got the news so quickly.

One of the best groups in the entire Ottoman Empire that cooperated with the imperial government delivered intelligence to Daiying, how could it not be fast.

However, the Armenians have fallen this time. Others, including the high-ranking families, may not be very clear about the relationship between the Armenians and the British. Unfortunately, no matter how secretive things are, they are just like that in front of the time traveler with the advantage of prophecy. 【】

After receiving the intelligence sent by Kamran, Sai the Great thoroughly verified his memory, so he directly used the trick to let Kamran and Diyar accept the funding of the Armenians and armed an army of more than 10,000 people, two-thirds of which were equipped by the British army, which was also a passive move for the British Empire to do something.

In January 1790, Saps brought his army to the two major emirates of Botan and Bitlis. To his surprise, he successfully entered the joint camp of the two major emirates without much effort, which made him more confident that he was destined to be the emperor.

That night, the complacent Saps gladly accepted Kamran's banquet. In the mentality of being the son of destiny, he only brought a small number of guards, and as for his own army, he handed it over to his eldest son to command.

When the banquet was in full swing, there was a deafening shout outside the tent, which sobered up Saps, who had drunk a lot of fermented grape juice and was already drunk. He just wanted to get up from his seat to see what was happening outside, but was pulled down by Kamran.

"Kamran, what are you doing? How dare you rebel against your superiors!"

Perhaps because he drank too much, Saps had already regarded himself as a sultan at this time. Unfortunately, he was not greeted by the obedience of a minister, but by a dagger with a cold light.

Alcohol paralyzed Saps's thinking. He sat staggeringly on the chair with a blurred look in his eyes. His movements became slow and his strength was not as good as before. Obviously, alcohol had affected his reaction ability and judgment.

However, years of military life still saved Saps' life. When the tip of the knife finally reached his eyes, he almost subconsciously raised his head. The dagger passed through his forehead, pierced the epidermis, and left a lot of blood. Saps was scared and broke into a cold sweat.

He rolled over and knocked over the table, and at the same time tore off the tablecloth and threw it directly to Diyal beside him, trying to block the two.

However, Kamran and Diyal were well prepared. They quickly solved these obstacles and rushed directly to Saps and cut off his arm with a knife.

Saps screamed in pain, but he knew that no one would come to save him. From the moment the other party attacked, he knew that his guards were probably gone.

Kamran and Diyal carried Saps out on the left and right, and helped him climb the watchtower. Saps clearly saw that his army stationed outside the city had already started a civil war.

Although Kamran had bandaged him, the bleeding still made Saps extremely pale. He tried his best to pretend to be vicious and asked.

"You, what did you do?"

"We didn't do anything. But you, Sarps, you did something. Don't you know it yourself?

Aladdin colluded with Aladdin, a remnant of the former Guards who fled to Russia. He had many contacts with the Russians, accepted military material assistance from the Armenians, signed a secret agreement with the British, borrowed troops from the Qajar dynasty, and lured the Emirate of Dramey and the Oman sent troops to secretly infiltrate Syria. "

"I...I didn't. You were deceived."

"Okay, I really thought Your Majesty didn't know anything. I really thought everyone was kept in the dark by you. What are you thinking?

But, the current situation is really not caused by us. Considering that we have known each other for so many years, I will make it clear to you this time. "

Kamran then sent the telescope to Sarps. Through the telescope, Sarps was surprised to find that his eldest son's flag had fallen down and the military camp was in chaos.

Kamran said with a smile.

"How about it, it's a surprise. After all, we didn't expect that just picking three of your dozen sons would have such an amazing effect."

Under the night, Kamran's laughter spread far away with the wind, and the faint smell of blood also went with the wind.
