The Crescent of the Sultan

Chapter 81 Processing (Please Order First)

When the European countries were accusing France more and more, the Sultan was still concerned about his own affairs. Sorry, I don't know Louis XVI, Napoleon, or Roland.

Selim didn't care about the impact of the French Revolution. Anyway, if the Balkan tyrants in the country wanted to try nationalism, Selim didn't mind letting them recall how they dealt with the Greeks last time.

As for the so-called ideas of freedom, equality, democracy and progress, Selim didn't worry that such nonsense would spread to the people of the Ottoman Empire.

Almost all the printing houses and newspapers in the empire had supervisors sent by Selim.

Even if there were some lawless people who distributed propaganda books of foreign reactionary forces in the empire, Selim would not worry at all.

The reason is very simple. At this time, the population of the Ottoman Empire was about 25 million to 30 million, and the literacy rate was about 5%, that is, only 1.25 million to 1.5 million people were literate.

If you are not sensitive to data, you can roughly understand that except for the dignitaries, officials and jurists, the Ottoman Empire is basically illiterate.

Note that this is only literacy, not complete reading comprehension.

In the case of the Ottoman Empire, even if the entire French National Convention was moved here and preached every day, Selim would not be afraid that he would turn around like Louis XVI.

After all, Robespierre's brainwashing ability is strong, so how could Islamic jurists be worse.

As for the beheading of Louis XVI, Selim the Great was not worried at all.

Apart from other things, the Guards can be said to be quite skilled in executing monarchs.

Since they first went crazy and deposed the Sultan, these people have tried more than a dozen methods, including but not limited to poisoning, strangling, strangling, and suffocation.

Oh, there was originally another way to die, and it was also the first time that the Guards executed the Sultan with a sword. As for who was the victim?

Selim could only say that it was fortunate that he had killed the Guards in advance, otherwise he could have helped the Guards with more tricks.

Stretching, Selim stood up and prepared to visit Ishak Pasha.

First, Muhammad Ali's message had arrived. Selim could guess who was behind the cavalry that could arm a thousand-man force. He had already arranged for Justinian to investigate.

The main purpose of looking for Ishak was to give him a warning. Although he had been brought up by him since childhood, the king was the king and the minister was the minister. Selim still had to ensure his loyalty.

Second, Sai the Great had helped Roland, the scumbag, so much before. The other party had promised to help track down the money hidden by Ali Pasha. This time, Ishak just happened to urge him.

Sitting in the carriage, Selim looked at the luxurious houses on both sides of the street and couldn't help sighing.

These were all the residences of former senior executives of the Guards, and now they have become part of the Ottoman Empire's talent introduction plan.

After the carriage had been driving for about thirty minutes, Selim arrived at a mansion or palace outside Constantinie.

This palace is very luxurious, consisting of suites surrounded by high walls, long corridors, various courtyards and gardens.

It is a brick and wood structure, only two stories high, occupying a large area. As the Sultan's housekeeper when he was a child, Ishak Pasha's palace was a reward from the Sultan, and Selim himself would stay here from time to time.

In this palace, the suites are painted and gilded, and are decorated very gorgeously.

It has four public meeting rooms, a red room, a yellow room, a brown room, and a colorful room, each occupying a corner, which are used by Ishak Pasha when he receives guests of different levels.

Although the colorfulness may be tempting, this is not Ishak Pasha's favorite room. The brown room is actually used by Ishak Pasha to entertain guests.

That was where Selim and Ishak Pasha learned to read and write when they were young.

The Sultan walked to the gate and greeted the guards. The palace steward was guarding the door at this time. He had already received the information that the Sultan was about to visit.

"Your Majesty, the Pasha is in the room where you stayed before. The master is discussing some matters with the Grand Vizier."

Selim nodded, indicating that he knew it, and then walked towards the courtyard with the guards and entered the house.

The whole house is connected by many corridors, and the first floor is usually used to receive many ordinary visitors.

Selim walked along the corridor and found a small organ on the windowsill. He immediately realized that this should be the toy of Ishak Pasha's granddaughter.

At the other end of the corridor, there is a small door leading to a small showroom full of long amber pipes. Selim knew that this was the collection of Ishak Pasha's son, because many of them were given by Selim, although the Sultan did not smoke.

As he was going upstairs, the Sultan kept looking at the courtyard, where there was a mosque that looked like the Hagia Sophia in Constantiniya. Many people reported to Selim that Ishak Pasha had rebellious intentions.

But who knew that the construction of this mosque was the decision made by Selim, the student, and Ishak Pasha, the teacher.

Thinking of this, the Sultan couldn't help but feel a little funny, and he continued to move towards the brown room.

The guards saw that the person coming was the Sultan, and immediately let him go.

"My dear Grand Vizier and Ishak Pasha, what are you talking about?"

The Sultan looked kind, and he casually pulled out a chair and sat down, just like he was at home. To some extent, this was indeed his home.

"Your Majesty, we have analyzed the attack on Muhammad Ali Pasha that you mentioned. This may be the result of Aladdin Pasha's collusion with certain people in the country."

Yusuf Pasha replied.

"Aladdin, I remember that this stray dog ​​ran to the usurper Catherine II.

He dared to stir up trouble in the empire, and I can understand that he paid.

But how did he know the whereabouts of Muhammad Ali Pasha?

Except for the Imperial General Staff, the Ministry of Finance and Justinian, it seems impossible that anyone else knows the whereabouts of Muhammad Ali."

The Sultan pretended to be confused, hoping that the two people in front of him could give an answer.

"Your Majesty, perhaps there are still people in the upper echelons of the empire who are in collusion with Aladdin Pasha.

This person or this person must be supported by people from the Imperial General Staff and the Ministry of Finance."

Ishak Pasha replied calmly.

"Why don't you consider Justinian, Ishaq? Isn't he good enough?"

Selim looked at Ishaq Pasha and said casually.

"Your Majesty, you still like to joke like when you were a child."

Listening to the other party's helpless answer, Selim couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, let's talk about something serious.

About the attack on Muhammad Ali and the money that Ali Pasha cheated from me."

Please order first, my family, the current data is really ugly.

Also, regarding the update on the day of listing, can I say that I can only write 10,000 words a day?

I am really a waste, please be more considerate of the book friends, I am still writing now, let's see if I can update another chapter
