There are several open spaces between the outer city and the imperial city, each open space is a military camp, and each military camp is actually a military fort.

Three military forts tightly guard the palace.

The palace was big enough. In the past, the Sultan allowed half of the Jenicheri Guards to live in the palace, but later, it was common for the Guards to participate in the coup to depose the Sultan, which made the successor Sultan feel scared, so he left only a thousand people in the palace city, and the remaining people lived in the military fort outside.

The second courtyard where the Imperial Conference is located is also called Diwan Square. It is the largest place in the Imperial Palace, with the Imperial Hospital, the Imperial Stable, and the Knives Barracks.

The so-called halberd soldier was originally a role similar to an engineer in Jenicheriri. He opened roads and met water on the battlefield to build bridges, cut down trees, and made camps. Later, the Sultan was incorporated into the palace and asked him to take charge of the construction of the palace and cleaned it up.

After the Guards coup, the Sultan left the name of the halberd soldiers, but turned it into an elite force who truly guarded the palace!

They are all descendants of nobles born and raised in the empire, and they still have no titles and inherited land. These people have no problem with loyalty.

In addition, a considerable number of European white slave descendants who were adopted by the previous Sultan and who were trained at the age of six. Their situation was similar to the descendants of the nobles, and at least in the view of the Sultan, they were also more loyal.

About a hundred of them were officers from the three military forts outside the city. They usually lived in the city and half outside the city.

As night fell, a "wanderer" wrapped in a black robe and even his face covered in black scarf walking on the street of Judd's old house.

Nowadays, since the Ottoman Empire controlled Medina and Mecca and worshipped the relics of the prophets in several magnificent temples in Istanbul, it still has great appeal in the Islamic world.

In the wars with the European world and Truchen, many jihadists from all over the world came here. For the Sudan, this was a painful and sweet trouble.

On the one hand, they came to protect themselves, but on the other hand, these people are not producers, and they are useless except to read the scriptures and be religiously pious.

For these people, the Sultan asked the municipal officials to select strong men to enter the baggage camp of Jenicheri, which means providing various logistics services to Jenicheri.

The remaining part advised him to return to his hometown, but part of him came here because of his dissatisfaction with the religious environment of his hometown. How could he return to his hometown easily?

So, they lived in Istanbul.

The so-called "living" actually became a wanderer in Istanbul and usually relied on temple alms to live.

For the Istanbul government, these people had no other unbearable behavior except for their love to gather together, so they let them wander freely in the city.

Instead of thinking that they are burdens to the city, they feel that they are superior and disdain to join the peddlers and pawns. In order to distinguish them, they all wear black robes without exception. They usually walk on the streets. As soon as the black robes appear, citizens will know who is coming.

Therefore, when this person appears on the dim street, it does not attract other people's attention.

The night is getting thicker and the pedestrians on the street are gradually becoming scarce.

This person suddenly disappeared!

But when he appeared again, he was already in Judd's old house!

The old house was quiet, but the port area outside was still noisy, as if this place and the outside were two worlds.

The man took off his burqa and took off the black scarf on his face.

The moon was on the treetops, and a faint light radiated on his face, revealing an ordinary face that was about thirty years old and was no different from the Ottomans here.

Adil!

Adil, who is currently in charge of intelligence affairs in the Mediterranean area!

Adil, who is the negotiating assistant of Yesmu!

Like all spies, they all look ordinary and will not leave a deep impression on others even if they are thrown into the crowd. Adil also has a round face, looks simple and honest, and looks harmless.

But just now, he showed his capable side as the head of the Truchen CIA region.

No one knows how he came in, nor how he came out of the luxurious hotel with strict defense, but he has already arrived here.

Obviously, there is no follower behind him, and even if there is one, he will be dumped.

There is no mold or dust emitted in the house because it has not lived in it for a long time.

Everything is very neat, and it seems that someone is coming to clean it up.

Adil is even more convinced.

Peternovic is not dead.

Not only did he not die, he also gained the trust of the Ottomans and became a member of them. In public information, he was Judd's adopted son, and Judd was a spy, but he was not sure. With his skills, it was not difficult to gain their trust in Lake Chek Major.

What's more, the Ottomans had almost fanatical confidence in the Jenicheri they cultivated. They had their own complete training and brainwashing system.

This is what Adil knows. Truchen doesn't count, but there are countless European spies sent here, but it is said that at least half of them were taken down by the Ottomans.

The so-called capture is not a tying or torture, but the spies eventually become Jenicer!

A luxurious mansion, with several beautiful wives and concubines, and land outside the city. Most people can't resist such a life.

The best of them may also enter the Guards or even bent halberds!

The harem of the previous sultans was extremely large and had many children. Most of their women would marry the best of Jenicheri and become the force to fight against the old Turkic nobles.

This is how the most famous Koplulu family in history came from.

The last Great Vizier Rajp is said to have 1,500 concubines, more than the Sultan, which shows their extravagance and wealth.

Stay quietly in the dark corner of the courtyard and feel all this, when everything is normal, Adil pushes open the door leading to the backyard.

"That big tree is still there!"

This is a very tall oak tree, which later became Turkish oak and is the most common Ottoman tree. Unlike ordinary oak trees, this oak tree grows very fast and is very tall, and is often used as an ornamental tree planted in the courtyard by wealthy families.

The tree is almost thirty meters high, and it seems to be a little old. At that time, Judd regarded the house as his secret base, and the tree obviously made great contributions.

Adil rushed up to the big tree in just a few seconds, and then placed a special piece of glass at the highest point.

This piece of glass has no effect at night and is not very useful during the day. Only those who are interested will pay attention.

Adil is planning to use this piece of glass to summon Peternovic!

After finishing this, Adil pushed a room open and lit the candles on the square table next to the bed. The floor was almost spotless and the bedding was all available!

Now he believed it completely.

If Peternovic is still there, he will not be able to come tonight, but he will definitely come back during the day!

....

About a mile away from Judd's old house is a military fort.

As a military fort that guards the imperial city, its walls are only one meter high and only one meter thick. However, as the military camp of Jenicheri, there is also a temple in the middle, and there is a tall minaret around it, almost thirty meters high!

Obviously, as minarets in the military camp, they can be used as worship preaching and as watchtowers.

Three military camps, each with about one brigade of troops.

At this time, a whole camp service at dusk had just ended, and the Jenicherris were walking towards their respective barracks.

The company commander (the current Ottoman barracks have adopted the French Baron de Tott's suggestion and have a new formation of the Guards in accordance with the company's squad regulations) and above officers can live in the military camps or in their own rooms outside the city.

When the soldiers in the square were almost dispersed, a young officer was about to come down from the minaret.

The night was getting darker and he couldn't see his face clearly, but judging from his outline, he was about twenty-four or five years old, with a handsome face and curly black hair. Jenicheri's new military uniform was covered with a green cloak.

There were naturally some imams who specialized in the soldiers all day long. Later, because these imams had also participated in the Guards coup, the Sudan's trust in them was greatly reduced, so he focused on cultivating some smart people from the soldiers to replace them.

Later on, these people were able to preach and fight, and naturally they rose much faster than ordinary people.

These people are potential candidates for the Sultan son-in-law.

"Click"

The guards beside the officer lit up the huge lamp oil on the minaret, using a Truqin-produced rotary lighter. The oil lamp will be on all night, so it is naturally huge, and it will illuminate both of them in an instant!

Peternovic!

This officer turned out to be Peter the son of Old Peter!

Old Peter is an authentic Russian. After he arrived at Truchen, he married a Turgut widow and later gave birth to Peternovic. Thus, his face became a mixture of East and West.

This appearance is similar to the Bulgarians who are currently controlled by the Ottomans. The Bulgarians are also formed by the mixing of Slavs and Bulgarians.

The Bulgarians were formerly nomadic tribes in the Kazakh prairie and the southern Russian grassland.

It seems that Peternovic is doing well, not only gaining the trust of the Ottomans, but also becoming an officer who can preach on the minaret!

You know, the officer who can preach here and support the liturgy is at least one regiment leader!

However, it seems that Peternovic is now calm and looks at it, and he seems to have not recovered from his holy and magnificent preaching just now.

Peternovic was about to walk down the spiral staircase under the light when he suddenly noticed something. In an instant, his face seemed to change.

He said to the guard, "You go down first, I want to stay on it for a while"

As he said that, he closed his eyes and then stretched his hands upwards into the sky. This is a common prayer ceremony. When the guard saw it, he quickly went down.

After the guard's footsteps disappeared on the spiral stairs, Peternovic suddenly opened his eyes.

A sea breeze blew, blew the green cloak behind him, and his face changed. After pondering for a while, he took out a monocular lens from his body.

But he was silent when he captured the reflections from the big tree in Judd's old house.
