Chapter 55 Judgment Day (6) Istanbul (Part 2)
In fact, the Truchin Army could have opened a city gate and started attacking the outer city, but they did not do so.
They were waiting for the Austrians, who finally reached the first Great Wall that divided the peninsula a month later.
At the same time, the Persians finally defeated the Ottoman Ankara Army in the Battle of Bateman and began to advance inland.
At this time, if Hamid I was alert, he would have to send someone to negotiate peace.
In Kitard's mind, Hamid I would only surrender to himself and would not surrender to the Austrians - the Austrians were obviously prepared to take down the entire Europe.
But Truchin is different. This is something that the whole of Europe understands.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the negotiators to arrive.
Chufeng Port.
The representative sent by Hamid I was his vizier, State Secretary Hamit. Kitard was not surprised that Hamid I sent this person to negotiate.
Although he could still send out Grand Vizier Mohsinbad or Foreign Minister Effendi, at this critical moment, Mohsinbad's former status as Greek Pasha and Navy Commander, Effendi's Turkic
His status as a scholar obviously does not make him feel at ease.
Hammett, who once studied in Europe, is proficient in many languages, is extremely intelligent, and participated in the last ambush of the Truchin Navy, is obviously more suitable.
He has a higher status, is smart, understands European affairs, and has a flexible body. There is no one more suitable than him.
But what surprised Kitard was that there was another person accompanying Hamit.
Olga!
This Olga was mentioned again and again by King Solomon!
He is the division commander responsible for protecting the palace, so he is not afraid of being captured by the Truqin people and leaving him leaderless?
Of course, the combat effectiveness of the Jenichery Division guarding the palace will not be greatly reduced because Olga was detained, but Olga has been the leader of this force for the past five years!
He is about twenty-seven or twenty-seven years old, with fair complexion, medium build, curly black hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, with calm eyes. There is no trace of any psychological activity on his face.
"Did the Sultan send him here intentionally, or did he just come to negotiate?"
"Is he a member of the Austrian side, a member of the Mysterious Society, or is he neither of the two but a die-hard loyalist of the Sultan?"
"Perhaps he was sent to follow Hammett because he has rich experience living in various European countries."
At this time, the Truqin people had built a five-story enclosed building made of blue bricks and concrete behind Chufeng Port. The middle place was the playground. Soldiers lived on the first floor, and soldiers lived on the second floor.
The layer is where Kitard and others live.
Of course, it can only accommodate the soldiers of one regiment at most.
At this time, Gutad had increased from a barracks to a group. When he traveled in the country in the past, he took a camp except for a boat, but now it was a group.
This is the guard group that is inseparable from him.
The head of the team is naturally Jisai Yin.
Since the rise of Katadd in the North Caucasus, almost all new weapons have been used by his guards, but at least in recent years, the guard battalion he brought out has not been the same as other troops. P>
Right now is the war, did he put some secret weapons for the equipment of the Guard Group?
In addition, since Kang Xiaozi stayed in Cebu Island in the Philippines as the supervisor, his captain of the Guard Army has also changed.
Kang Xiaozi can become the commander responsible for his safety, not because he can protrude, nor because he is loyal enough, but the result of Batter's balance after many considerations.
In the past, there were only four martial arts that were left in Turkut in Tulin, Su, Shen, Kang, Zhang, Su, and Shen need not say it. It is already one of the great honors of the empire. There was only one Kang Xiaozhong, a Kang Xiaozhong, who worked in the army and the navy.
The Zhang family was unknown, but since Zhang Henxue's rise, it is time to catch up with the Su family.
The martial arts family is a mixed -race descendant of Han and Mongolians. This meaning is very strong.
In the end, he still chose his cousin's color, that is, the son of Jizomar Yang, the former and Masterpiece, and the brother of the queen Abahai.
In the past few years, Sexica has served as a teacher, mayor, and has also served as a high position as senior officials. In addition, he is a big sister -in -law of Qgatard, which is promoted to the prominent position of the Guard Army. Kang Xiaozi is still big.
In the past few years, Sexiche has not participated in previous wars and has been dormant in the place. Now it is promoted by him. This means that it is obvious.
Of course, this appointment is also very happy for the son of Abahai.
With less gossip, Qgatard met the two in the reception room.
Sure enough, Hamitt came to peace with the command of Sudan.
Batter carefully observed the two of them. Obviously, whether it is Hamit or Olga, there is no interpretable look on his face.
Only the anxiety or even anxiety of the negotiations is normal. This is normal. A huge empire seemed to be gone. As the Ottomians, there is no anxiety.
In addition, there is no more disclosure.
The two sides talked for a long time. In the end, Qutad said: "Since Gui Sudan is going to surrender to us, then you must take out your sincerity and say your conditions"
Hammett hesitated and said: "Our country hopes to retain European territories except Serbia, Wallachia, and Bulgaria, as well as the entire Anatolia."
Kitard smiled and said: "Anatolia? Then we need to negotiate with the Aga Khan"
Hamit said: "Your Majesty, now that we have reached this level, we don't need to beat around the bush. The Aga Khan will definitely obey your Majesty. Besides, Anatolia is the fundamental place of our Turks, even if the Aga Khan
It won’t be stable even if it’s taken down.”
"Nader Shah also tried it before, but he didn't return in despair. When it comes to fighting, Nader Shah can't be worse than him. He has already obtained the two provinces of Baghdad and Van. If you give him some money, it will probably be enough."
Can you withdraw your troops?"

"Then the Sultan retreated to Ankara. We also know His Majesty's intention. It is nothing more than the land around the Ottoman Strait. This is no problem."
Kitard never expected that things would develop exactly as he expected. Istanbul still had a population of 500,000, of which there were at least 100,000 young men. Plus three divisions of Yenicheri, there were more than 100,000 people living in the city.
Most of them are descendants of nobles, and their hearts are obviously towards the Sultan.
It is estimated that there are at least 20,000 to 30,000 jihadists inside. It is easy to take down the city wall by yourself, but if you want to enter the city, you will have to engage in street fighting with them. The Ottomans' flintlock manufacturing technology is no less than that of the Europeans. Their gun bodies
The slender, beautifully made and extremely long-range Lumi gun was introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty.
More than a hundred years later, they are faced with the aggressiveness of the Russians and Persians. Although their overall combat power is worrying, it is not because they lack sophisticated weapons, but because of the decay of their political system.
Once you are pushed to the limit, even an evolved version of the Rumi Gun is enough for you. In the end, everyone in the city will die for you, which is not worth the loss for the Truqin Empire.
He wants to capture the complete Istanbul, not the Istanbul that is in ruins and full of corpses.
He was still thinking, thinking about Sultan's true thoughts and possible changes, and as he thought about it, his eyes fell on Olga.
This is a standard soldier. Although Hamit looks anxious, there is no trace of worry on his face. It seems that the Ottoman Empire has nothing to do with him, but perhaps it is due to the long-term almost puritan-like life of Jenichery.
Let him be like this.
"The Sultan will definitely not send him out just to show off. If so, it would be more effective to send out the hard-line Grand Vizier Mohsinbad, or the deadly war-minded naval commander Gates Hassan.
Hammett, a civil servant, is one red and one white, and they complement each other."
"They obviously know that I am not a cruel and unreasonable king. I will never massacre Istanbul. I am open to negotiation. You will know if you carefully observe my trajectory over the past few decades."
"Since we can negotiate, wouldn't it be better to send one civil and one military, one red and one white?"
"Why bother sending an officer who doesn't speak much and whose presence is almost zero?"
"Would Hamid I, who was vigorously employing Europeans and reforming the financial system and military system with determination, make such a mistake at this life-or-death moment?"
"Obviously not. Since the Ottoman Sultan implemented the system of ascendancy by blood, the tragic disasters caused by the competition for the Sultanate have been reduced. Although I dare not say that all the successive Sultans have great talents and strategies, they are obviously not completely mediocre."<
/p>
(The system of blood-related supremacy refers to the fact that after the Ottoman Sultan came to power, he slaughtered all his brothers who threatened his position, leaving only one successor. Before he consolidated his power, this successor was also imprisoned in the cold palace until he took over the power.
, he was sent to Ankara to experience and learn government affairs)
But he still didn't capture any useful information on Olga's face.
After a while, I saw him say: "Your Majesty the Vizier, this is a serious matter. I have to discuss it with my people. You can rest here."
He knew that if he stayed in this room and negotiated, he wouldn't find anything.
Only by leaving space can you have a chance.
The meeting between him and Hammett has been going on for two hours. Both he and Hammett and others need to do something.
Go to the toilet.
Although he is an emperor, he still needs to go to the end of the corridor to use the toilet. After leaving the room, he goes straight to the toilet.
Nowadays, the Truchen people have long invented urinals, toilets and other things in later generations. They can use a small steam engine to pump up the seawater from the Bosporus and store it at a high place for flushing toilets. Of course,
This is just a temporary measure. Once the Ottoman Raiders are completed, fresh water will definitely be used to replace sea water.
The urinals of the Truchen people are almost the same as those of later generations. They are leaning against the wall. Naturally, there is no automatic flushing. You need to step on it with your feet.
But this also opened the eyes of people from all over the world.
Sure enough, when he finished his convenience and was about to come out, he saw Olga - he was sure that Olga would be the first to come out, because during the two-hour meeting, this person had not spoken.
But he didn't stop drinking water. He drank all the tea and coffee the guards served him.
In winter, if you don't talk and drink a lot of water, there will only be one result.
The corridor is naturally filled with Truchin guards, and Olga is walking towards the toilet.
At this time, Kitard was about to walk out.
The two met at the door of the toilet, but Olga only bent slightly towards him and went in. However, Kitard was not disappointed. After using the toilet, he did not go to the negotiation room, but went to his own room.
.
After sitting behind the table, he spread his right hand.
