Chapter 131 A Good Horse

The stables of the Ottoman Empire are not ordinary places. Among the honorary titles of the Ottoman Empire, "Head of the Royal Stables" is a relatively high-ranking one. In the original time and space, Suleiman had this title.

This time, as long as Suleiman does his job well, the awarding ceremony after the wedding banquet will definitely be given to him.

When he walked to the stables, Selim suffered from choice difficulties.

After all, as a sultan, he doesn't need to put on makeup. At most, he can tidy up his appearance. What's the use of a good-looking face? Temperament is the key.

So in the matter of choosing a horse, it is very important for him. A good horse can set off his temperament.

The horses of the Ottoman Empire can be said to be quite rich. Not to mention some small breeds, these are also quite good.

First of all, there is the Arabian horse, which is widely bred and used in the Ottoman Empire.

The Arabian horse is an ancient and noble horse breed that originated in the Arabian Peninsula.

They usually have a small and elegant appearance, a slender neck, a high tail and sharp eyes.

Arabian horses are known for their elegance, endurance and loyalty, and are considered the basis of horse breeds around the world.

During the Ottoman Empire, Arabian horses were valuable war horses and symbols of nobility.

Balkan horses were also commonly used in the empire. After the Balkans were conquered, some horses adapted to the environment of the region were bred here, known as Balkan horses.

They are usually adapted to harsh weather conditions and rugged terrain, and are horses often used in military and agricultural fields.

Armenian horses are very practical horses. These horses are usually highly adaptable to extreme environments, such as working in deserts, mountains and cold areas, and are commonly used in the Caucasus war zone.

Others include Anatolian horses, which are usually of medium height and muscular body.

They are suitable for long-term riding and farming work, and have excellent endurance and adaptability.

Then there are Akmanakh horses, which come from Turkmenistan and have a history dating back thousands of years.

They are known for their unique lean body and metallic-like shiny hair.

Moreover, Akamana horses usually have elegant appearance, excellent running ability and outstanding endurance.

Finally, there is the Andalusian horse, which was introduced to the Ottoman Empire from the Iberian Peninsula.

These horses have elegant posture, graceful gait and excellent jumping ability, and are often used in royal parades and competitive performances.

And speaking of this kind of horse, Emperor Serbia thought of another insulting joke.

In the era of Suleiman the Magnificent, Charles V had inherited the throne of the Holy Roman Empire from his grandfather Maximilian and the Spanish throne created by the marriage of his grandfather Ferdinand and his grandmother Isabella.

I am the strongest in the European continent and the most crazy on the surface battlefield. I surrounded France in all directions and tried to unify Germany. The suppressed Francois I didn't know what to do.

At this time, the French chicken found his lifelong brother-the great native chicken Ottoman Empire.

The two sides hit it off. Suleiman went north, France went east and south, and Charles V was at a loss. He tried his best all his life but failed to successfully unify Germany.

The funniest of all was the Hungarian issue. In 1526, after King Lajos II of Hungary and Bohemia was killed in the war with the Ottoman Empire, Ferdinand succeeded to become the king of the two countries (his wife Anna was the sister of Lajos II).

However, he was very embarrassed as a king at that time. The nobles who supported the Habsburgs' succession followed Lajos II to see God in the Battle of Mohacs, while the rest of the nobles supported their leader, János of the Zapojo family.

More importantly, since a large area of ​​Hungarian territory was occupied by the Ottoman Empire, Ferdinand could actually only control a small part of Hungary.

He gained a foothold in this part of the territory after a long struggle with János Zapojo, the Transylvanian commander who opposed the Habsburg dynasty. The Ottoman Empire besieged Vienna twice in 1529 and 1533, causing a huge crisis to his rule.

Ferdinand was so servile at the time, and the Andalusian horse was said to be Ferdinand's apology.

Even so, he still begged Suleiman the Magnificent to accept it. During the period, Suleiman the Magnificent directly said that Charles V was the King of Spain, and Ferdinand's envoy had to nod his head in agreement.

After thinking about the glory of his ancestors for a while, Selim continued to find a suitable mount for himself.

It must be said that the royal stables are really big. Selim has been picking for a while, and Paul couldn't help but urge the Sultan several times.

Finally, Selim caught a glimpse of an Arabian horse, and it was this glimpse that made Selim unable to walk.

The Arabian horse stood there, with a moderate height and a dignified posture.

Its body lines are smooth, revealing strong and slender muscles, and strength and elegance are intertwined.

The graceful neck is stretched and slender, like an elegant arc, which perfectly sets off the overall image.

Its head is small and elegant, with a broad and flat forehead, and large and bright eyes revealing sharp intelligence, as if watching everything around it.

The wide nostrils allow it to easily inhale fresh air.

The fine structure of the jawbone shows its nobility and majesty.

The Great Emperor rushed over and stroked it. Such a good horse, my God.

It must be said that this horse feels good to the touch, its hair is soft and colorful, and the gray and white hair form a gorgeous picture.

The tail was long and thick, and it was raised high, showing confidence and pride.

Selim couldn't help but push aside the hair on the other's forehead, and a white mark like a star was there.

The horse lowered its head and licked the hand of the Emperor of Seychelles, looking particularly docile.

The Sultan was very excited. It was not that he had never seen a good horse.

The Sultan of the Ottoman Empire had seen all kinds of good horses. Are you kidding? The area of ​​the royal stables is not exaggerated.

Even so, this horse still made the Emperor of Seychelles very satisfied. It can not only set off the majesty of the royal family but also show the temperament of the Emperor of Seychelles as a soldier.

Selim couldn't help asking.

"Paul, who sent this horse? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Paul also came over at this time.

"Your Majesty, this horse seems to be sent by Suleiman Pasha."

Paul looked at it uncertainly at first, and then answered.

"Because this horse was delivered late and has a fierce temper, I didn't let you try it.

But from the way you looked just now, it seems to like you very much."

"Suleiman, it's him again."

Selim couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This old guy is really good at flattering people. Every time he does it, it's just right.

It has to be said that smart people are really useful. Such people are easy to deal with and can do things efficiently.

"Okay, okay, put on the saddle and other equipment. I have seen that this horse is prepared for me."

After the preparations were completed, Emperor Serbia rode on the horse. The horse carried him docilely to the outside of Topkapi Palace, followed by the bride's team.
