Vol 7 Chapter 325: One thousand five hundred and two, a new era

The starry night sky is deep and cold.
The snowy moon shines on the Gobi, casting shadows on the rocks, large and small.
Mrs. O'Connie was also looking up at the sky at this time, imagining what the night in her hometown was like.
Mrs. O'Connie had almost forgotten the appearance of her home, she had been out for too long, and sometimes she even forgot where she came from.
A faint war horse neighed in the distant basin, but the Wrangler quickly quieted the beasts.
Mrs. O'Connie took a few steps forward, looking at the small group of people moving in the distance.
She was a little excited, and the long-awaited anticipation made it difficult for her to calm down.
Those people quickly approached, and a tall man riding a horse in front of him took the reins and squinted, carefully looking at the woman standing on the Gobi with only one entourage.
Although not far from the military camp, she was too dangerous to be here alone, which made the man quickly determine that this woman should be the person she wanted to see.
"Mrs. O'Connie?"
The man's accent was a little weird, and it took a lot of effort for Mrs. O'Connie to hear it clearly. She nodded and then tilted her head and glanced at the line behind the man.
"We brought the one you wanted."
The man waved his hand behind him, and immediately a rider came over with a camel. On the camel sat a tightly wrapped figure. When he was brought to a stop in front of Mrs. O'Connie, the figure struggled a few times. There was also a muffled noise.
"This is your reward."
O'Connie also gestured to the entourage next to her, and the entourage immediately handed a heavy bag to the man.
The man bent over to take it and squeezed it in his hand. In the night, he seemed to split his mouth, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
Those people came fast and went fast, they threw them down the man on the camel and whizzed away, as if they wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
O'Connie can understand why these people are in such a hurry. This place is no longer peaceful, and a fierce war will break out at any time.
The Ottoman Empire has maintained a very strange system since its establishment. This system is not much different from the feudal lordship of Europeans, but it is completely different.
Large and small tribes form this huge empire, and the tribal leaders are the true rulers of these tribes.
They will be loyal to Sudan, pay taxes and send troops to serve, but they also have privileges that the Sudan cannot revoke.
Compared with the feudal lords in Europe, these tribes are more like a country in the true sense. This allows the sultans of the Ottoman Empire to have supreme power while having to win over those tribal leaders as much as possible, lest they give themselves Ask for trouble.
Bayezette II was a more benevolent person than any of his ancestors, so many people miss the time when the old sultan ruled, but with the death of Bayezette II, the two sons began to fight for the throne of the sultan. The situation in the Ottoman Empire has changed drastically.
Mehmet is now actively preparing for war in Egypt. The previous series of conflicts with Selim have caused him a lot of losses. Even at sea, he has not been able to rely on the Arab pirates to take advantage of it. Egypt sent troops, and this time he planned to fight Selim to the death.
And Selim in Constantinople is not easy, he is now fighting on two sides, while dealing with Mehmet from Egypt, he also has to deal with the little kid who suddenly emerged from the east.
Selim once laughed at Mehmet for defeating the hand of Ismail, but now when he confronts that nasty kid, he realizes that it is really difficult to deal with. opponent.
Two-line combat made Selim exhausted. His only luck now is that Mahmed seemed to be scared by him, and he did not dare to act rashly for a while, which gave him a short respite.
Selim had thought about peace talks with the Shah of Safavid before, but the other party strongly refused. Now he decided to teach the Ismaili who doesn’t know what’s good or bad, and then turn around and concentrate on thoroughly. Destroy Mehmet.
In addition to this, Cerro also wanted to take the opportunity to clean up the disobedient eastern tribes. In his opinion, the sultans in the past were too kind and tolerant to those tribal leaders, especially his father was simply condoning them. people.
All this should be changed. Selim thought so. While ordering the tribal leaders to send more troops to serve him, he sent his own officials to the places where the leaders were temporarily gone because of the war. Directly take over the power, and then declare that these areas will be the direct jurisdiction of Sudan.
Selim knew that this would inevitably irritate some people, but because the land was taken away from the minority, the risk was worth taking.
The key is that the tribal leaders are scattered. When they do not really offend their own interests, those people will not really stand up except anger, not to mention that none of them have the prestige and reputation that can bring them together. status.
Selim’s idea was not wrong, and the plan went smoothly. Despite some resistance, most of the officials he sent achieved their goals. Most importantly, although the tribal leaders sent people to Constantinople one after another. They protested, but because there was no real leader, none of them dared to act rashly.
Salim is satisfied with his decision. He has already planned to send people to directly take over some very important cities, such as Genchi, which was captured by the Safavid army before, but now it is because the original leader did not return. An important city in the east of an empty city.
Although doing so might really irritate the tribal leaders, the risk is worth taking, and Selim wanted to see how much those people can tolerate.
Once successful this time, it means that he can continue to make bolder provocations, until finally gradually wipe away those tribal territories in the east that are like independent kingdoms.
Selim carried on his plan with full confidence, until finally one day an accident happened that he did not expect at all.
The head of the official he sent to the city to accept the city of Genqi was sent back. Although this made Selim so angry that he was still in the second place, what really surprised him was that the person who sent the letter back reported that Genqi city has now been claimed to be Occupied by the son of his father Bayezette II’s brother Jem.
It is said that the man had the name and appearance of a European, but he claimed to be Jim who was living with a local woman when he was trapped in Europe. This was fine. To Selim's surprise, this man actually got the Iraqi. Smail's support.
Selim was surprised at first, and then furious. He didn't know if the that popped up was Jem's son, but it was obvious that this person was a puppet introduced by Ismail, and to make matters worse, He was keenly aware of the conspiracy of that Safavid kid.
He can imagine how the tribal leaders who were daring to be angry and dare not to speak would react when they heard that such a person appeared, just like him, those people would not care about the guy who appeared suddenly. Whether it is true or not, they will never let go of this opportunity easily.
In fact, the things that worried Selim also happened very quickly.
Some tribal leaders eagerly announced that they recognized the young man named Kaderon as Jem's son, and then they offered him their tribal tents, carpets, cows, horses, sheep, and sabers.
Even if it did not openly support the man as the Sultan, it would be no difference. Other tribal leaders were much more cautious, but they also said that they would not be an enemy of this man.
This also means that they will not fight the Safavids who have announced their support for this cardron, so that Salim finds that his situation becomes difficult.
He realized that he had really underestimated that Ismail before, and he didn't expect that he still had such a terrible trump card in his hand. Now that little kid who he thought was just a trouble has become a sharp one. His knife cut a terrible wound on his back. If he doesn't want this wound to deteriorate and fester and eventually be fatal, he must eliminate this opponent as soon as possible.
Selim began to mobilize all the troops he could use. For this reason, he even moved back to Europe from Bulgaria and Greece. At the same time, he also actively expressed goodwill to Moldova, hoping that they would be able to fix that for themselves in the north. Hate Poland.
These actions of Constantinople were sent to Europe from various channels, whether it was Krakow, Prague, Bucharest or Vienna. When they heard of the internal changes in Ottoman, they all burst into ecstasy. cheer.
The huge threat of the Ultraman Empire has brought too much fear to Europe. The entire eastern Europe seems to be shrouded in the shadow of the Ottoman Empire. Every invasion initiated by this eastern empire will scare the entire Europe. , And now they can at least finally take a breath.
In the Royal Palace in Bucharest, Sophia watched indulgingly at a pair of children lying side by side in a swinging crib. Now they are fast asleep, perhaps feeling a bit cold, and the two children are hugging each other tightly together. The tender little faces pressed close together, and his lips puffed out with a soft "pupu" sound.
Sophia bowed her head and kissed each of them on their little cheeks, then gestured to the nanny standing next to them to take care of the prince and princess, and then walked out of the bedroom just a few steps back.
Passing through the corridor, came to a room on the wall where the butter lamp was completely lit at no cost, where a group of Wallachian officers had been waiting for her.
Sophia who walked in didn't wait for anyone to finish the salute, and waved to an officer with an impatient gesture that he could start, and then she sat down and started listening.
This officer wore a costume that was completely different from that of other Wallachian generals. Those familiar with the Balkan Guardsman in Alexander would recognize it at a glance. Except for some floral decorations, the costume was completely a replica of the Guardsman, even Even the iconic stand-up collar Hu throat armor is exactly the same.
The officers swiftly began to tell the Grand Duke of their plans. The Wallachian army was ready to advance from southern Hungary to the north and regain the entire Hungary with the Kingdom of Bohemia.
After determining that the Ottomans had to repatriate a large number of troops from southern Bosnia due to their own domestic changes, so that the threat to the southwest of Wallachia would be greatly reduced, the Wallachian officers immediately formulated an army to stay in the southwest. Most of them were transferred to the western border to strengthen the defense against northern Bosnia.
"His Royal Highness, if we can try our best to strengthen contact with Archduke Karl of Caraño, then we can threaten Northern Bosnia from both sides at the same time. I believe that King Helva will not act rashly at that time, and then we can According to the plan, we proceeded from the southern mining area that has been occupied by us and marched towards the Donau Castle, and finally went to Budapest with the Bohemians..."
The officers confidently explained their intentions to Sophia, but they soon discovered that the Grand Prince's attention did not seem to be on the map of Hungary in front of her.
Sophia's gaze was fixed on northern Bosnia in the west, and her hot gaze made the officer next to her suspect that what the grand duke saw was not the map but the undressed duke.
Then everyone saw Sophia suddenly clenched her fist and slammed hard at the position of North Postia!
The muffled sound of "Boom!" and this familiar action seemed to hit everyone's heart. Just before people reacted, Sophia had already punched the wine bottles on the table as if they were shaking. Shook.
The generals looked at the Grand Duke dumbfounded, they already understood what Sophia wanted to do, but the idea was too bold or even reckless, which made the generals a little embarrassed.
"But your Highness, if we attack North Bosnia and Hungary at the same time, it will be too difficult. We don't have that many troops, and this is likely to attract the intervention of South Bosnia." The officer tried to dispel Sophia's nearly crazy idea, but watch. With Sophia's stubborn look, he really has no confidence. "His Royal Highness, unless we can get more support, we can't succeed."
The officer’s words made Sophia’s eyes light up. Her fist opened slightly and turned into a finger poking on northern Bosnia. Then the index finger stretched westward, past Caniola, then past Venice, and finally landed. On the desktop beyond the edge of the map.
Then she clenched her fist again and slapped her lightly on the empty table.
There was a thoughtful look on the officer’s face, and then he looked at the people next to him and saw that they were still a little dazed. The officer had to say: "Do you think the duke, I mean the duchess will send soldiers? ?"
Sophia tilted her head in the habit, and then shook it firmly.
Seeing the officer's stunned look, she let out a laugh that only she could understand.
Sophia obviously didn't want to continue entangled in this matter, she signaled the generals to continue reporting the upcoming war to regain Hungary, but the atmosphere in the conference room was much more solemn than before.
Because the generals who have gradually understood the temperament of the female grandfather knew that the previous seemingly nonsense behavior was not revealed by the grandfather as if nothing had happened.
On the contrary, no one knew what she was thinking about at this time.
From the East to the West, from the Black Sea to the Atlantic coast, in the eyes of many people, 1502 was a turbulent year, and even this turbulence is no different from the turmoil of centuries.
But Alexander knew that many things that happened this year were destined to have an incalculable impact on the future.
In 1502, Selim should have completely wiped out his brother Mahmed, and then he would invade and take the opportunity to completely destroy the Mamluk dynasty, but now he is facing several enemies.
It was also this year that the Ottoman Empire should have eliminated the last resistance in Northern Bosnia, and then completely annexed Bosnia, except for a part of the northern part, which almost completely blocked Bucharest’s connection with Europe from three sides, and then completely conquered after more than a decade. Bucharest is ready.
In the east, frequent Ottoman invasions of Poland will continue until the era when the Polish Winged Cavalry appeared.
But now all this has undergone tremendous changes. The Ottomans have to withdraw their troops from the Balkans and Eastern Europe, and Selim will face a civil war that will tear the Ottoman Empire apart.
As for the other side of the Atlantic, everything will not be discovered until 50 years later, and the mysterious land that will not officially enter the sight of Europeans after nearly a hundred years has gradually lifted its mysterious veil.
In addition to the letter from the Pope that Uliu brought to Alexander, there was also a strange piece of wood that Rusha sent from Valaritod~EbookFREE.me~ According to the people, this strange piece of wood The dark red, heavy and hard wood was returned by James Columbus from the new colonial zone. According to him, this is a rich local wood, and trees similar to this redwood are very precious in Europe.
Of course Alexander knew what it was, and knew how enthusiastic this precious wood would be in the future, but he didn’t care about it very much. What Alexander really paid attention to was that James had apparently reached that piece of land known as the world. Resources occupy the most precious place.
Of course, Alexander at this time didn’t know that James also gave him another living gift. It was only a non-human being entrusted by the unlucky fleet commander. As soon as he left the palace, Ruosa asked the young woman to be sent to her. A house in the city
That was what she had prepared for the upcoming Berley. She had already figured out that her brother happened to be missing a woman here, and she could also solve a problem.
Alexander didn't know that he and an exotic beauty had just passed by. He is now waiting for Ferdinand.
The year 1502 is destined to affect the coming year!
