1161 Ottoman is different from Mingming
When it comes to the demise of a country, there will often be monsters, and even wild beasts will bully people!
...
Speaking of which, the Ottomans were depressed enough. They had always been used to being arrogant. They would hit anyone they wanted, especially the red-haired man, who were even more tearful.
When every Ottoman Sultan was born, he would launch an attack on the European Red Hair Fan to face the audio and video, so as to save a lot of trouble and directly establish prestige and control the country. They never care about the risks, but let the Red Hair Fans curse and have such a neighbor!
Every time the attack was attacked, the monarchs of the white-skinned European countries did not dare to take it lightly. The monarchs who were facing the Ottoman attack could not sleep at night. Even the most remote Spanish kings had to listen to military information reports every day to prevent the Ottomans from digging their ancestral graves--to deal with the Roman Catholic Church.
The Ottomans have always been proud of their strength, which is one of the necessary qualities to maintain a great empire.
Unexpectedly, the Orientals came from the sea and captured Egypt in one fell swoop. They defeated 400,000 Ottoman troops under Cairo. Then they fought north and occupied Damascus, the paradise on earth. The battle of Homs City was beheaded 100,000 Ottoman troops and their troops entered the city of Apole, but were blocked.
After the defeat of the Battle of Holmes, the Ottoman Empire's lord Ihasan Pasha quickly rode and reported the message to the rear.
In just one day, Holmes City was quickly removed from the Southeast Army, and he sent people to report the news.
Then, something strange happened.
...
At the Kozan City Station in the Ottoman Empire, three riders were busy and ready to go.
This inn is located outside the city, 500 miles northwest of the city of Aspole. It has a long history and can be traced back to the Turkish period of the Ottoman Empire. The clever Seljuks took many measures to ensure the prosperity, smoothness and safety of trade. They traded with the East, and the hotels and inns built on the Silk Road played an extremely important role during this period, protecting long-distance merchants like forts.
The inn in Kozan City is one of them. The building is spectacular, with a rectangular structure, with a solid exterior wall and wide gates that make it look very much like a fortress. The courtyards of the inn are generally open-air, and there are many vendors, their livestock and goods around the courtyard to rest, and the rooms and corrals are stored. Since most of the transportation was made of camels at that time, the Turks called these inns, also called "Camel Palace", namely kervan sarayi.
In addition to providing services to caravans, the post station can also quickly convey distant news to the country. The Ottoman Empire has a vast territory and spans three continents. If the post station is not used to relay messages, the imperial capital will lose control of the distance.
The three riders at the Kozan City Post Station left on horseback. They were sending the battle report in front to the rear. At this time, the messenger who departed from the Asole City stayed at the Kozan City Post Station, and three new riders were sent to the relay of the Kozan City Post Station.
Because the battle situation is kept confidential, the three riders did not know the news of the defeat ahead, nor did they know what the letter they were going to send.
In fact, the letters of the three people were unanimous, all of which were news of the Battle of Holmes City. In order to be delivered safely, they were delivered in triplicate and were sent by the three people at the same time.
The superiors asked them to rush to Erelli City as fast as possible. At that time, Erelli City Station will send someone to relay it.
The cost of relaying express delivery is huge. Generally, the news is that one rider is sent, and when it is important, three riders will be sent.
"drive!"
The horse's hooves rolled, and the three riders rushed to the next stop along the post road.
Riding a horse seems poetic, but the reality is very sad, with the scorching sun, dust, dry mouth and the pressure of delivering it on time!
The riders did not dare to take it lightly. They hurried on their way with their faces covering themselves, thinking that they would deliver the letters quickly.
The post road extends in front of them and leads to the distance.
The Ottoman Empire still spent a lot of effort to maintain their post station-post road system, which was a necessary expense to maintain the great empire. Local officials from all over the country were instructed by the court to protect the post roads between major cities. Therefore, although it was not a luxurious road, it could also make people run.
After running about thirty or forty kilometers, they arrived at the next station, changing horses but not people, and continuing their journey.
Generally, each two stations are about 30-40 kilometers apart, which is exactly the distance that a caravan can reach after traveling at normal speed for 8-10 hours a day. It is not far or near, and it is designed very scientifically.
A group of riders ran for 200 kilometers, and then changed horses and people, and the letters were delivered quickly.
After leaving the next station, the road gradually became desolate.
Türkiye in the 17th century AD did not have modern prosperity. Many places were once out of cities and wilderness, which riders were used to.
The road is not peaceful, it is normal for someone to block the road and rob, beat people, steal things, etc.
People in many places believe in religion, but it does not prevent them from doing business without capital.
However, for the messenger, there is almost no one who makes any idea.
They have no money, and their information is important. If the channel is not accessible, it will attract the attention of the government, trigger the government to clean up, and affect everyone's wealth.
The messenger drove the horses and suddenly went uphill, and all three galloping horses were blown away!
The three horses neighed wildly, and suddenly deviated from the road and rushed into the sting. The riders could not stop and could not control them no matter what. They did not want to control them, so they let the horses escape.
A group of wolves appeared in front of the road!
If it is a lone wolf, the horse will not be afraid, but if there are twenty or thirty wolves, the horse cannot afford to offend them.
Wolves are very common in Türkiye, and there is a food source for barren mountains and wildernesses, so it is normal for wolves to exist.
But it is not normal for wolves to drive horses. The wolves are likely to be in a bad state and are so hungry that they are shrunk, so they are chasing the three riders.
Wolves are actually smart animals. They never mess with bipedal beasts. Bipedal beasts are the most vicious natural enemies that wolves encounter, but they don’t care about anything when they are hungry.
As soon as they fled and chased, the riders ran into the mountains and were eventually caught up by the wolves, and they climbed onto the trees in a panic.
As a messenger, everything is simple. You can only defend yourself by carrying a scimitar. You can deal with a wolf, but you can't help it.
Three horses ran away, and one of them was eaten by a wolf pack.
The horse was eaten by wolves, and the more they ate, the hungry the more they ate, the hungry wolves surrounded the riders under the tree for a day and a night before leaving in disappointment.
The rider went down the tree and looked for directions, but found himself lost.
This area is full of mountains, mountains are connected, with no people and no roads.
It was three days later that I finally got out of the mountains. It was four days later that I would go back on the road.
As a result, the news of the defeat of Holmes City was sent to Istanbul before the news of the defeat of the Battle of Holmes City, causing chaos in the imperial court!
The senior officials were puzzled. They knew that Ihasan Pasha led his army out of Holmes to fight the Chinese. Why did there be any report on the defeat of Holmes but no battle?
Ihasan Pasha was cut off from the rear by the Chinese. How can I fight this battle?!
Failed, or not defeated?
Give me a letter of approval, don’t let everyone care about it, you can’t sleep at night!
