Chapter 26: We Still Have to Do Business without Capital
While Haji Pasha was transforming Egypt, Suleiman had led the private soldiers of the Chapan family to directly overthrow the Janikli family.
The reason was to collude with the Russians and infiltrate all major departments of the Ottoman Empire in an attempt to subvert the empire.
As for whether it is reasonable or not, this is not within the scope of Selim's consideration. Sultan, what has happened to you? Besides, he was wearing white gloves.
As for the specific situation, as the head of the family, Suleiman did not have any superior demeanor at all, and directly killed Ali Janikli himself.
After all, they have been old rivals for so many years. Suleiman always feels uneasy if he doesn't personally send the other party to his death.
At the same time that the Janikli family was wiped out, Kilig Janikli, the head of the family's private soldiers sent to Egypt, was also killed by Haji Pasha.
The whole process is very simple, just like Haji Pasha getting rid of the Mamluks. However, some people always don't know how to learn from experience, so there is only one word - should.
The boss was killed, and the news that the family was being punished for collusion and leaking secrets was notified to every private soldier of the Janikli family.
With their weapons already disarmed in advance and the surrounding new army watching eagerly, except for some die-hards, the private soldiers of the Janikli family surrendered collectively and became part of the Egyptian guard force.
Although he knew that these powerful families had been hereditary for a long time, Selim never thought that the other party was so rich. A Janikli did not count the assets of his tax concession area, but only the family's liquidity and various antiques and real estate in the province. The value is close to that of a "Great Selim".
What made Selim even more angry was that the Janikli family actually had a large number of treasures leaked from Topkapi Palace, including a jeweled dagger belonging to Muhammad IV.
"How dare Shu Zian deceive me?" Looking at the list sent by Suleiman in front of him, Selim took out the Ottoman sword worn on his waist. The sword forged hundreds of years ago still exudes a frightening cold light at this moment. A gap was cut out of the charcoal stove.
The servants in the Baghdad palace were so frightened that they did not dare to speak out, for fear that the Sultan would kill them with a sword.
Although I heard that the Sultan has always had a good temper, who can guarantee that he will not be the next Murad IV?
The flames in the charcoal stove were still burning, but they could not dispel the chill in the hearts of every servant. The entire palace seemed to be ruled by Selim's anger. The Baghdad Palace, which had been the Sultan's study for a long time, seemed to have become an execution ground at this moment.
After a while, Suleiman, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head slightly to spy on the Sultan's expression. The anger had disappeared from the Sultan's face, replaced by his usual warm smile.
"Get up, Suleiman, I lost my temper." Selim said gently.
In fact, Selim did not expect that a mere Janikli family would have such wealth at first, but he later became happy that a Janikli family was so rich. You can build a wonder, such as the Dokhmabahce Palace.
"Your Majesty, I am also deeply disgusted with a family like Janikli. Such national thieves deceive the superiors and exploit the inferiors at a time when the country is in crisis. They only care about their own selfish desires and ignore the future of the empire. They really deserve to be killed.
Of course, Your Majesty, in view of the imminent reform of the empire, Egypt must also prepare for the training of a new army, in order to prevent Your Majesty from worrying about money.
The Chapan family is willing to hand over the entire Amasya to Your Majesty. I think Haji Pasha's actions in Egypt are very suitable for this area. If Your Majesty does not mind, I am willing to recommend my second son Abdullah to join the new army. Contribute to the restoration of the empire. "
After saying this long sequence, Suleiman's anxious heart relaxed.
When the Sultan in front of him saw the property of the Janikli family, his expression was as if he saw the enemy who killed his father. How poor he must be.
As for why he voluntarily handed over Amasya, looking at the fate of the slaves and the Janikli family, Suleiman knew whose side to side with.
Considering that the Sultan liked to practice Tai Chi, Suleiman made it clear that even if Emperor Selim above did not want others to get involved in the new army, there would be no problem in exchanging Amasiya for a non-commissioned officer position.
"Suleiman, it's good that you have such an awareness. I hope that we, the monarchs and ministers, can all stand here in the future and contribute to the rejuvenation of this country." Selim walked to Suleiman and helped him up.
"Let's go, from now on the new order will dominate the empire."
After sending Suleiman away, Selim got up and went to the Royal Bank of the Ottoman Empire.
The old guy Abraham actually dared to deceive him with fake data last time. This time, he will pay a private visit incognito to teach this old boy a lesson.
Walking into the gate of the Royal Bank of the Ottoman Empire, Jacob, who was responsible for receiving major customers, immediately put down his work and came to receive the Sultan.
As soon as he ran away, a Venetian who was still doing business on the side suddenly started shouting loudly.
He ran over and wanted to grab Selim's collar, but Selim easily dodged it, and then punched him. The Venetian fell to the ground immediately, muttering incomprehensible Northern Italian.
As for why Selim can’t understand, it’s all due to his deceased father Mustafa III and uncle Hamid I. They didn’t care about the education of the future Sudan at all. Selim had to speak both Ottoman and English if he could learn it. It's a gift and a legacy from past lives.
While Selim was comforting himself in his heart to ignore the fact that he was a linguistic waste, he looked at Jacob beside him.
The latter finally woke up from his confusion at this time. He first ordered the bank guards to detain the Venetian, and then knelt down in front of Selim in the bank hall.
It must be said that the Jews are still very capable. Jacob shed tears directly and began to confess his poor hospitality, which caused the Sultan to be so frightened. He really deserved to die. . . . . .
After a confession, it can be said that it was sincere, logical, and well-organized. It was emotional and reasonable, and fully demonstrated that although I did something wrong, I was still the Sultan’s most loyal dog. Selim trembled when he heard it.
"Get up, Jacob, just think of it as exercise. What's the matter with that Venetian?"
Selim pointed at the Venetian who was dragged to the corner like a dead dog. Perhaps seeing the lobby manager who was fawned by everyone on weekdays was so humble at this time, the Venetian was already scared and there were even obvious water stains under his pants.
"Your Majesty, his name is Alessandro Ricardo, a businessman under the current Venetian Governor Paolo Rainier." Jacob stood up and answered respectfully.
The previous part about the cost of warships in Chapter 4 has been revised. I'm sorry for the typo. Here are some data for everyone. One pound is about one pound of silver, one pound is 435 grams, and the cost of a warship similar to the "Great Selim" in the Battle of Trajafal is about 100,000 pounds.
