Vol 2 Chapter 40: , Wolf Smoke 4 from Ottoman


   Although the Constantinople uprising was extinguished by the Sudanese government, the sequelae cannot be eliminated. The former prosperous international metropolis is now almost like a ghost town!
   Hundreds of thousands of people were buried here, and it took more than a month to clean the corpse! The people who were lucky enough to escape the calamity also fled this ominous place immediately.
  According to the official statistics of the Ottoman Empire after the war, the turmoil caused more than 500,000 deaths, including the loss of more than 30,000 soldiers who participated in the counterinsurgency. The economic loss is even more incalculable!
   What the Turk’s mood is now, Ferdinand doesn’t know, he’s in a good mood anyway. Although this uprising in Constantinople was extinguished, the impact was far-reaching!
   Compared with history, both the influence and the destructive power are much greater! The ruling foundation of the Ottoman Empire has been shaken, and revolutionary organizations everywhere have begun to flourish.
   Greeks, Macedonians, Bulgarians, Serbs, Hei tribes and other ethnic groups can’t help it, and have joined the ranks of opposing the Sudanese government!
   With the secret support of Bulgaria and Greece, the Ottoman Empire began to surge from the Balkans to the Anatolian Plateau!
   The Albanians could not stand the long-term violent conquests by the Sudanese government and were affected by the Constantinople Uprising.
   With the secret support of Bulgaria, the Albanian Revolutionary Party planned a peasant uprising on July 14, 1895, and once defeated Durres.
   It is a pity that the insurrection army was made up of improvisations and lacked a strong organization. They did not belong to each other to fight separately. The uprising broke out on July 14 and was extinguished by the Ottoman army on July 27. It lasted only a short period of 13 days!
   After the uprising, the Ottoman government carried out a white terror reign in Albania. All organizations and individuals who supported or sympathized with the Revolutionary Party were persecuted!
   For a time, the Albanian Revolutionary Party was wiped out! Well, the Albanian Revolutionary Party in this era is not a political party, it is composed of only a few passionate young people, and it was established under the influence of Bulgaria.
   A grass-roots team, without any preparation, under the encouragement of Bulgarian intelligence personnel and provided support with a thousand rifles, they launched an uprising in a hurry. Failure is inevitable!
   On August 6, the Greeks launched another uprising on the Aegean coast of Asia Minor. The original plan was to launch an uprising on August 18, when the Greek navy would transport a batch of supplies to support it, but unfortunately it was betrayed by traitors and was forced to launch it early.
   Due to the advance of the uprising, there was no time to receive the support of the Greek government. The uprising was extinguished just three days after it broke out!
  Ferdinand knew that the Ottoman Empire had been operating in Asia Minor for hundreds of years, and most of the local Greeks were used to being ruled, and the revolutionary enthusiasm was not so high!
   It’s not over yet. On August 15, 1896, another uprising broke out in Macedonia where the Ottoman Empire gathered heavily.
   This uprising can be divided into two stages. First, the bourgeois revolution broke out in Western Macedonia on August 15 and the rebel army once defeated Kozani.
   However, due to insufficient advance preparation and the strong military strength of the Ottoman Empire in Macedonia, the uprising soon fell into a low ebb.
   The weakness of the bourgeoisie was exposed. Faced with the brutal suppression of the Ottoman Empire, after the uprising fell into a low ebb, the revolutionary leaders decisively ran away. After losing the leader, the rebel army began to split.
   But this is just the beginning. On August 24, an uprising broke out again in the Kumanovo region of Macedonia. Due to Ferdinand's intervention, the Kumanovo did not attack the heavily armed Skopje, but moved to the Kosovo region!
   Well, it was actually forced out! The Ottoman Empire has more than one hundred thousand garrisons in Macedonia, and the headquarters is in Skopje, only more than 20 kilometers away from Kumanovo. If you don't run, you will be finished!
   In this run, a group of rogues came out. Except for the support of Bulgarian arms at the beginning of the uprising, the insurgents had to try their own way at other times.
   If you don’t have guns, grab it! There is no food, no materials, still grab! Without soldiers, grab, grab, grab! ! !
   The uprising army has successfully carried forward the essence of the word "grab". The price paid is that the uprising army has successfully changed from a revolutionary army to a gangster!
   By the end of the uprising, the quality has deteriorated. After walking all the way, the place is hungry! In order to expand the ranks, the rebels, under the training of Bulgarian instructors, fully learned the essence of the peasant uprisings of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong!
   held high the flag of the local tyrants to divide the fields, and continued to entrap the participation of ordinary people along the way. As for the unwillingness, it is simple: entrap the people to attack the Turkish aristocratic manor, and then give full play to the spirit of Sanguang, and let go of a few messengers after finishing it.
   Of course, if you believe in the noble morals of the noble lords and are not afraid of revenge, the rebel army will not force it. If you want to stay, just stay!
   If it's just an insurgent army, then it's nothing. The Ottoman army is chasing after it, and it won't harm many people.
   "Bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grate!" This is not the patent of the Eastern dynasty. It is also applicable in the West, and the Ottoman Empire is one of the best!
   The manor of the noble lords, they dare not move, but they are not so polite to ordinary people. Grabbing things is polite, committing adultery, looting, killing, and doing meritorious deeds are all familiar with the road!
   Of course, I can’t completely blame the army for not observing military discipline. It is all because the Ottoman logistics is too scumbag, or the efficiency is too low. If you wait for the officials to deliver the supplies, it is estimated that the daylily will be cold!
   At the beginning, the two sides were still working with real guns. In the later stage, the soldiers of the Ottoman Empire didn't care!
   They wish they could postpone more time so they can continue fishing! Called this way, from Kumanovo to Kosovo, from Kosovo to Albania, and then back to Macedonia.
   The two sides are almost in a tacit understanding. The rebel army ran in front, and the Ottoman army chased after it. From time to time, they fought a battle. The rebel army left a corpse to give them military service.
   The insurgents couldn’t win and had to run away! The Ottoman army has no fighting spirit. Compared with usual, the noble lords have to deduct the army's salary. Now it is a rare opportunity to go out to fight and reap benefits!
  Military discipline, go to hell! No matter what you do, you can shift the responsibility to the rebels in front of you and kick the actual benefits into your pockets. The only drawback is that there is still war!
  In the minds of ordinary soldiers or basic officers, it would be great if they could not fight and could rob unscrupulously!
In contrast, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, the high-level Ottoman army has a hard time. Although the people below have also paid them a fortune according to the rules, the income is good, but the domestic orders are repeated, and his pressure is increasing. Big!
   After more than two months passed, the commander-in-chief Celtic finally couldn't stand it anymore, even though he knew that his men wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, and it was not in their interest to kill the enemy now.
   But the harm of the two things is the lesser one. Offending the people underneath is at most cursing. If you violate the order of the Sudan, your future will be worrying!
   To raise the thief's self-respect is also to divide the target. At least the mob in front of him is not qualified. Celtic knows that any commander can win the war.
   At the moment, I dare not delay any longer, and strictly ordered the troops to attack with all their strength! Level by level, the Ottoman army is serious!
   Regardless of their lack of training and low morale, there is still no pressure to deal with a mob like the rebel army!
   Once the Ottoman army was on its way, the rebel army couldn't stand it. Although this team has now expanded to tens of thousands of people, in the face of a smaller number of regular troops, they are still beaten up!
   In order to preserve the revolutionary forces, the insurgents scattered and fled on the advice of Bulgarian intelligence personnel. The uprising was suppressed, but the Macedonian region is also more chaotic!
   Falling grass is the bandit, occupying the mountain as the king is the best choice for the defeated soldiers! It is easy to suppress an uprising, but it is difficult to suppress bandits and bandits! Until the Ottoman Empire completely lost the Balkans, there was no way to wipe out the blooming bandits!
   After Bulgaria occupied the Macedonian region in the future, it also launched a two-year campaign to wipe out the place. Ferdinand lifted a rock and smashed himself in the foot!
