Chapter 156 Eastern Rebellion
The cold wind in early winter blew the blue lake water into ripples, and the ravens were heard from the shore. A small boat in the lake slowly drifted with the slow water flow, and gradually the bottom of the boat touched the stones on the shore.
The people sitting on the boat moved gently as the boat shaking, and tightened the thick wool blanket wrapped around them slightly.
Several servants with tall red turbans immediately dragged the boat ashore with their hands and feet, and then fixed the cables to the stones. Then they stood aside and looked at the mistress on the boat.
Mrs. Connio glanced at the servants waiting on the shore. These people were sent by the head of the Safavid sect to serve her, or should be said to be the monarch of the Safavid dynasty.
Almost a year ago, the little brat who had already claimed to be the monarch of Safavi finally completely eliminated the Aries dynasty that threatened his sect.
This is much more than in history, thanks to the great and sharp firearms obtained by the Safavi army in time. In the Battle of Falsabad, Ismayi's army carried out a devastating blow to the enemy who originally had the advantage of military strength. Even with flexible and maneuverable semi-nomadic cavalry, due to the terrain, the Aries army could only tear open the powerful firepower net arranged by Ismayi again and again with desperate charge apostles.
But the result was that more and more deaths caused his enemies to collapse, and the new Persian Empire established by the Safavid Order seemed to have begun to appear ferocious.
Thinking of these, Mrs. Connie Ou couldn't help frowning. This was because she had been a little confused. She couldn't understand why Alexander was so familiar with the sect in Azerbaijan. He even swears to Mrs. Connie Ou: "If you want to use that Caderon and don't want to be chased by the Ottomans, you must help the young sect leader."
When she heard this, Connie Ou was skeptical, but she didn't object to the trial because of the weapons and money provided by Alexander.
But when I saw Ismayi again, Connie O really wanted to turn around and leave. If it weren't for Alexander's seriousness in this matter and indeed delivered all the supplies they needed in time, Connie O could not believe that this little brat in front of him could do such a big thing.
Then it turned out that she was obviously wrong.
Not only did that little brat do it, but it was also very successful.
When he was only 14 years old, he destroyed the Aries Dynasty.
And now his target is the Oriental territory of the Ottoman Empire.
Lake Urmiye is about 30 Faris away from Tabriz. The entire lake runs north and south like a long spindle. The east bank of the lake belongs to the present Safavi Possian Empire, and the west bank is the eastern border of the Ottoman Empire.
The two sides tacitly used the middle line of Lake Urmiye as a buffer zone, and the cavalry on both sides of the strait confronted each other across the lake. This situation had almost been formed more than two years ago.
However, with the demise of the Aries Dynasty, Ismay I was able to mobilize his army to the eastern front, which made the borders of the two countries, which were originally in constant conflict but were temporarily peaceful for a while, were tense for a while, and the smell of war filled the sky above Lake Urmiye.
While Mrs. Connie O'clock admitted that Alexander had an unusually keen sense of smell about the situation in the East, she was indeed shocked by Ismayi.
She never thought that this hairy child, who was less than 16 years old, had actually accomplished such a miracle thing. He established a country, a country that perished, and then had to compete with another world's most powerful country.
Now Connie Ou even feels that if she can, she is willing to throw all her money into this furry child, because she really can't imagine that this little kid will do something earth-shaking in another 10 years.
But this was just a thought. She knew that these Persians would not like her, just like the servants around him, who were serving her while also monitoring her. She could also feel that as a woman, as a woman, she would not achieve anything in this country as a woman.
So Connie Ou decided to faithfully implement her previous plan, especially with the arrival of Calderon, she felt that it was time for her to show her skills.
The Battle of Bucharest was a failure for the Ottomans, although it suffered huge losses but still did not hurt the bones.
The Ottoman Empire still owns the world's most powerful army and navy. Even though they temporarily retreated from the western Balkans, they still owned a large area of conquered land in Europe, even in the Balkans, Bulgaria and Greece still surrendered to the rule of the Ottoman Empire.
In the farther east, Moldova was once again forced to submit to the Ottoman Empire, and the imperial army once again defeated the counterattack from Poland.
At sea, the Ottoman Navy had almost completely expelled the Venetians from the eastern Mediterranean. Except for the two stubborn places, Rhode Island and Crete, the entire eastern Mediterranean had completely fallen into the hands of the Ottomans.
The Venetians lost their last colony in the Mediterranean Sea, and the Ottoman Navy even advanced straight into the Adriatic Sea from the Neonian Sea. Venice was under the threat of the Ottoman Navy at any time.
All of this seems to show that Bucharest's defeat was so insignificant that the Ottoman conquest was not even a little slow because of this small setback.
But in fact it's a different look.
What really scared the Ottomans in the Battle of Bucharest was the turmoil caused by the serious injury of Bayesette II.
Compared with the casualties of the army and the loss of materials discarded during the retreat, the turbulent situation caused by the two princes in the Sultan to compete for the inheritance of the empire by the two princes, which seemed extremely powerful, actually was in a subtle state of division.
Mehmed took advantage of the opportunity of expedition to Mamuliuk to firmly control the vast western provinces of the empire. In the east bordering Safavido, Selim was ready to compete with his brother at any time.
In Constantinople, the great nobles who were still loyal to Sultan Bayesette II or were temporarily watching the situation watched the huge storm caused by the two princes with a cold attitude of not wanting to help.
As for the many tribal nobles far away from the capital and those remote high-ranking officials, most of them looked completely unrelated to themselves.
But these are just illusions. Everyone is trying their best to make themselves look less noticeable, but at the same time, they are arming their subordinates with all their might. For a moment, the entire Ottoman Empire was shrouded in a strange atmosphere of hit.
The Ottoman Empire was suddenly on the verge of a split state. At the same time, in addition to the constant wars between the Ottomans in Europe and Egypt and their enemies, the rise of Safavidois also aroused Selim's vigilance.
As early as two years ago, the Safavid Order had taught Selim, who was then the governor of the border province, at the Ottoman border. Although Bayesette II was furious, because he was at the critical moment of the Battle of Bucharest, he had to denounce his son's incompetence while warning Selim not to have trouble at this time.
However, in the following two years, the rapid expansion of the Safavid Clan began to gradually make Selim uneasy, especially after completely destroying the Aries dynasty a year ago. As his strength increased, Ismay I began to turn his attention to his neighbors on the western border.
A war seemed inevitable. The emerging Safavido and the Ottoman Empire, which was heading for its heyday, were like two strong giants. When they met on the shore of Lake Urmiye, both of them showed strong muscles to each other and their willingness to fight at the same time.
For Selim, his desire to defeat his opponent was stronger than Mehmed, who was far away in Egypt.
This is not because he wanted Yixue's former shame to be abused by a thirteen-year-old child because of underestimating the enemy, but because he wanted to use a real major victory to shock the tribal nobles in the east.
He did not gain any benefits in the previous battle with Ismayi I. As Safavido gradually became stronger, some tribes that had originally surrendered by the Ottoman force became ready to move.
This situation was very unfavorable to Selim. He knew that although Mehmed also had to deal with Mamuruk in Egypt, the complex relationship between the numerous tribes in the east and the Ottoman Empire was much easier to solve compared to the difficulties faced by Mehmed.
The news from Constantinople made Selim very uneasy. Bayesette II's body was getting worse and worse. The Battle of Bucharest not only hurt his body, but also seemed to destroy his spirit.
Sultan became suspicious because his long-term paralysis in bed and his moodiness made everyone around him accompany him with an irritable sick lion and worried all day long.
What's worse was that he began to worry that someone would betrayed, and he no longer believed it, both the ministers and the confidants, and the people who stayed in Constantinople to inquire about the movement said that the Sultan was now worried that his two sons would rebel.
This made Selim start to worry about himself. He knew that once Bayesette II became suspicious, even if he was the son of the Sultan, what was waiting for him would be a terrible ending. The only thing that could help him get rid of the predicament was to pacify the eastern border as soon as possible, and then take the opportunity to command Constantinople.
As long as Constantinople is seized first, Mehmed will undoubtedly be defeated.
Selim mobilized a large number of troops to the border, and he knew that there was not much time left for him, and before Valiceth II was completely crazy, he had to build a solid rear for himself.
Mrs. Connieou sat in the carriage and looked at the vast lake of Urmiye. The lake seemed very quiet in winter, and there was no sight of the water bird that was flying over the water. Even though she had been rafting on the lake before, she looked a little terrible.
A man rode to them in the distance, and from a distance you could hear the person coming shouting loudly to explain his purpose. When he heard the man shouting "Diabaker", Mrs. Connie's face suddenly showed a look of attention.
The servants looked at the visitor vigilantly, and noticed the black clothes on the other party and the white felt hat on their heads, and their eyes couldn't help but show hostility.
"Madam, I am here to see you." The visitor bowed cautiously, and he did not dare to look at the servants' eyes, trying to make himself look less noticeable.
"Shane allows me to see my friends at will." Connie O said to the servants. Seeing that they looked ugly, they still let them aside, Connie O was relieved.
The hatred and cruelty towards heresy is more terrifying than the pagans. This does not seem to be unique to the West. In the East, civil strife that erupts due to different understandings of doctrines also makes this land full of the blood of the believers.
"Madam, we have sent the 'that' to the place safely," the visitor stood in front of the carriage and whispered. "The tribes of Diyabaker received him very attentively, and now he is their VIP."
"Is that so good," said Mrs. Connie Ou with a little excitement. She took risks to find him after hearing the legend about that person. She paid too much for this purpose. Now those efforts have finally seen the shadow of reward. "Let our people keep a close eye on that person, believe that someone must be making a decision on him. We must be more careful at this time."
The person who came to listen carefully, although this woman was a pagan, she did something big that no one could have expected. When the tribal nobles heard that the descendants of Jem, the son of Mohammed II, came back, he felt that perhaps the woman in front of him could really change the future of the Ottoman Empire.
The people who came did not stay for a long time. Although the Safave Sufi sect led by Ismayi I was not so extreme and terrible, the strong sense of insecurity on the pagan territory still made him leave quickly.
However, he had already obtained a very important inspiration from Connieou, including her promise to encourage the nobles of Diyabaker to "get it a big deal".
Diyarbaker was a gathering place for tribes in the southeastern Ottoman Empire. Before the Ottomans occupied the Anatolian Plateau, these tribes formed alliances of all sizes. Then, in the war to conquer Eastern Rome, these tribes became forces that cannot be ignored in the Ottoman Empire.
When Mohammed II's son Jem was awarded the support of the Diyabakir tribe when he was awarded the throne of the Sultan with Bayesette II.
After Jem fled to Europe, although the tribal nobles vowed allegiance to Bayesette II, Bayesette II was always worried and could not eliminate the suspicion of the Sultan for them.
When the news that Jem died of illness in a prison in Naples came back to Ottoman, Bayesser II sent someone to Diyabakir, and he wanted to completely give up the tribal nobles who were still obsessed with Jem. However, although those tribal nobles seemed to have finally given up because of Jem's affairs, Bayesser II could not let go of his vigilance against them.
Because of this, Bayesette II sent his son Selim to guard the eastern part of the empire for him, which was also to shock the eastern tribes that were always hostile to him.
Connie Ou knew very well what Caderon's return meant to the tribes of Diyabakir, so as soon as the sender left, she proposed to meet "Shan". In order to meet the talented young monarch as soon as possible, she said to the close minister of Ismay I: "Please go and tell Shane that he must be willing to hear that a rebellion might occur in Ottoman."
This news obviously attracted the interest of Shane Ismay I of Safavido, and soon Connio was allowed to enter the palace to meet the king.
Shane Ismay Ibn Heidal, 14 years old.
Whether from his age or from his pretentiousness or pretentiousness, Alexander even deliberately laid a layer of fluff on his lips that was not a beard, he was not wrong. He was indeed a little brat now.
Ismayi, who already has two wives, likes to wear brightly colored clothes, which makes him look older. A huge turban covered with precious gems and pearls was inserted with a straight peacock feather on the top. When he moved his head a little, the peacock feather would tremble quickly, which made the little kid look less majestic, but it was a little funny.
But no one dares to despise him now, because it was this 14-year-old child who completely defeated the Aries dynasty in two consecutive battles. Just two months ago, he was established by the Safavid Order as the king of the newly established Safavid Persian Empire, and that day he had just celebrated his 14th birthday.
"Are you saying that those Ottomans might judge?" Ismayi asked curiously. Perhaps because of his young age, he was obviously not tempted by Connie O's appearance. The young monarch full of energy now only wants to expand his territory. Now that there is such a good opportunity in front of him, Ismayi couldn't help but be moved.
"Jim's son is back." Seeing the surprise on Ismayi's pretended face, Connie Ou nodded to him. "The tribal nobles of Diyabaker are preparing, and I believe that a rebellion will soon appear in the Ottoman territory."
"Oh, oh." Isma Yi I made these two responses, and then there was no sound. He began to walk back and forth on the steps, and the peacock feather above his head kept shaking in the air with his movements.
After a while, he finally stopped and stared at Connie Ou with a scorching look: "You know that the Ottoman army's firearms are very powerful. Although we have such weapons now, they are still much worse than Selim's army."
Connie O was a little silent. She knew that Ismayi was right. Despite receiving a large amount of funding, Safavipos' firearms could not be compared with the well-equipped Ultraman army. If it was a defense, it might not be much different, but if it was an active attack, it would expose the weakness of the Russian army.
"I will find a way to get more equipment for your army, but you have to respond accordingly."
"Of course," Ismay laughed, looking at Connie Ou like a naughty child, as if happy that he was about to get a new toy. "Tell your friends, the best they can help me, I can do it for them, which is fair to us all."
Connie Ou nodded silently, and at the same time she couldn't help but frown secretly.
Although Ismayi was only 14 years old in his lifetime, she felt that this little kid was really difficult to deal with.
