Chapter 1085: Tosagupin (15)
Following Selim’s decision, an immediate purge of the Janissaries was carried out. The place where the most persistent purges took place was the Beyrik Janissary, which protected the capital city of Constantine. The ones who most actively blocked the Selim army in conjunction with the Habsburg army were the Beyrik Janissaries. As soon as Selim’s order was given, all the commanders who had been dragged were put on the execution platform.
It wasn’t just the commanders. The Janissary soldiers who were disarmed and confined in the camp were also attacked by the Selim army and the French, Italian and Portuguese armies.
bang! Quack! bang!
bang! Tatang! Ta-ta-tang!
During the fierce street fighting, hostility had built up to the point where the French, Italian, and Portuguese troops fired cannons at the camp and pulled the trigger of the freight car.
“Escape! Escape!”
“Fire back! “Fire back!”
“I can’t die like this!”
The soldiers of the Beyrik Janissaries who were attacked took out their hidden weapons and resisted or tried to escape by finding an opening. However, the resistance of Enicheri, whose high-ranking commanders had disappeared, had no system and was almost a struggle relying on survival instincts. The Janissaries who escaped the camp after a fierce struggle headed to the Sultan’s palace.
“The Sultan has not changed yet! “Let us ask the Sultan for mercy!”
“OK!”
However, the army sent by Selim was already encamped in front of the Sultan’s palace.
“They are traitors! “Kill it!”
“shooting!”
Ta-ta-tang!
As soon as the commander’s order was given, Selim’s army pulled the trigger. Selim’s army had no hesitation in pulling the trigger on the Janissaries, who were once its allies. Even though they were converted, they were pagans. The Janissaries were those who received higher wages than themselves and behaved arrogantly.
On the other hand, the soldiers of Selim’s army were conscripted from the Sunni Ottomans. It was an experimental unit to gauge the reality of the ‘new army (جيش جديد)’ envisioned by Selim.
“Ahh!”
“You are the Sultan!”
“Have mercy! Have mercy on us!”
“Ahh!”
The Janissaries who were attacked by Selim’s army cried out for mercy at the top of their voices, but in the end, they had to lie on the ground bleeding. It was a purge called the ‘Konstantiniye Massacre’ in Europe, which was later named an ‘auspicious incident’ (حدث ميمون).
Selim, who wiped out the Janissaries stationed in Constantine, who were the biggest worry, quickly took over power. The nobles of Constantine, who witnessed the Janissaries’ tragic end, rushed to swear allegiance to Selim. After hearing the news that even the nobles had surrendered to Selim, Bayezid had no choice but to acknowledge the reality.
“From now on, you are the Sultan of the Ottomans.”
“It’s an honor.”
“Now I want to move to the villa and rest. “I’m so tired.”
“Not yet.”
Selim immediately rejected Bayezid’s request.
“The unrest outside has not yet subsided. “As soon as the uneasiness subsides, I will take you to the villa.”
“.......i get it.”
After finishing his audience with Bayezid, Selim headed to the main hall. After looking around at the nobles and subjects gathered in the main hall, Selim sat down on his throne and opened his mouth.
“As the new sultan, I will give my first command. “First, restore the destroyed houses of Konstantiniye and comfort the people.”
“Yes, Sultan.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to restore the collapsed wall?”
When one of his subjects suggested restoration of the walls, Selim clicked his tongue.
“If you want to enjoy that peace for a long time, tell him to crouch where he is now as if he were dead. “Tell them that my eyes and ears toward where they are will never close or close, so the moment they make even the slightest mistake, that meager peace will disappear.”
“I will definitely say that.”
“go away.”
In response to Selim’s order to congratulate the guests, the messengers repeatedly bowed their heads and left the palace. When the messenger left, the vizier bowed his head to Selim and asked:
“Sultan. Are you really going to leave the weightlifters alone? “There will definitely be a return.”
Selim responded to the Prime Minister’s advice with a slight smile.
“It is necessary for the time being.”
“Please consider the place where those weightlifters are located. “The roads are blocked because of those weightlifters.”
“Know.”
Adana, where Antalya Ahmad is located, where Korkud is located, was blocking the most important transportation route connecting Konstantiniye and Suez. The most important place for the Ottoman Empire was Suez.
Selim continued.
“Because I know, I’m going to leave it alone for a while.”
“A dull-witted person will not understand the Sultan’s deep intentions. “Please have mercy.”
Selim answered the Prime Minister’s request succinctly.
“We can use them as an excuse to grow our navy.”
“ah!”
The prime minister exclaimed in exclamation at Selim’s answer. In this civil war, France, Italy and Portugal distinguished themselves in land battles, but even more so at sea. Although they suffered slightly in the naval blocking battle that took place in the middle, they would later completely dominate the sea and dominate the battlefield.
Selim was greatly impressed by this and began to work on strengthening his naval power. At the same time as ordering iron-clad steamships from France, Italy and Portugal, similar warships were leased. The excuse given in this assumption was the existence of Korkud and Ahmad.
“Why do you need a warship?”
“The road to Suez is blocked by those ungrateful weightlifters! In the end, we have to use a ship to transport it!”
“If that’s the case, it can be a merchant ship, but why a warship?”
“There are too many pirates!”
“If it’s a pirate, our navy will sort it out, right?”
“They’re just pirates with flags!”
“Ah...”
The civil war ended, but England and Habsburg did not just back down. Where there were French, Italian and Portuguese warships, it was a quiet trading ship, but where there were not, it became a cruel pirate and robbed merchant ships, becoming a headache for the Ottomans.
“To properly punish Korkud and Ahmad, we must attack from both land and sea. It’s still not enough. You need to train a navy in advance using borrowed ships so that you can use them for full force as soon as you acquire them. The same goes for the Army. “Right now, subjugation is not the priority, but growing a new army is the priority.”
“The Sultan is so wise, this is a blessing from Allah!”
“That’s too much praise. “Don’t be satisfied with what you have now and keep trying.”
“I follow your orders!”

While the bloody wind of the Tosagu Peng was blowing in the Middle East, three generations gathered for the first time in a long time at Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul.
