Chapter 29 Undercurrent
Considering that the Venetian was only one path, Selim decided to go both ways.
Ishak Pasha directly notified the British government to see if he could use his money to dig out a group of technical personnel and machinery.
When it comes to the spread of industry, it has to be the combination of people and machines. Have you ever seen how much the Republic profited from it? The dividends it brings cannot be estimated on paper.
When Egypt and the coasts of the two seas (the two seas refer to the Black Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean or the Aegean Sea) are brought together, the gang of national thieves in the Balkans and Arabia will recognize the facts and understand who is the master of this country.
When Selim thought about his ability to make money, he thought of Ali Pasha and why he hadn't sent the money belonging to the Sultan yet.
"No, we can't wait any longer, we have to give him a ride." Selim thought in his mind about how to deal with Ali Pasha.
For some reason, the figure of the Guards always appeared in front of him. Although these people were not good at fighting, their wages were still among the best in Europe. When he got anxious, the Sultan killed them all, but he was afraid that he would not be able to kill Ali Pasha.
"Paul, go to the editors-in-chief of the Ottoman Post, Constantiniya Daily, and Edirne Observer and ask them to release the news that Ali Pasha, the Commander-in-Chief of the Guards, is suspected of embezzling the fallen Guardsmen. The military's property was refused to be handed over to the relevant families.
Then notify the Grand Vizier and ask him to transfer the pressure to Ali Pasha. Also, remember to block the news in the palace so that Ali Pasha does not know about it. "
After arranging Paul, Selim suddenly remembered that asking for wages requires an organizer.
Besides, if Ali Pasha was killed, could it be that the second in command, Aladdin Pasha, was left alone to dominate?
"It seems it's time to find the successor to the second generation of the Guards during Selim's era, the third generation. Speaking of which, can the Guards survive this long?"
After getting rid of the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Selim decided that he should focus on recuperation in the past few days to prevent his dragon body from getting sick, and wait for Aladdin Pasha to organize a spontaneous wage request activity.
"Your Majesty, Aladdin Pasha is outside Topkapi Palace. He requests to see you. The matter of Ali Pasha has been resolved."
"How do the Guardsmen want to kill him? Should they hang him, shoot him, or burn him to death?"
Selim asked while yawning. He really didn't expect this group of people to organize so quickly.
But it’s normal. Ever since Selim asked Ali Pasha to rectify the wealth of the Guards, the imperial government has been using various excuses to frustrate those who applied to get their property back. Now, we can only say that God will reincarnate, and God will spare no one.
Humming an unknown tune, Selim walked with his guards to Ali Pasha's residence.
"Your Majesty, what can I do? You promised to ensure my safety."
Obviously, Ali Pasha was anxious.
Selim said slowly: "I did promise you, Ali. But what you promised me, it's been half a year, and you haven't handed it over yet. I'm very disappointed."
"Why don't we look outside and see how much these people want to kill you." Selim pulled Ali Pasha to the window.
At a glance, I saw that the entire palace gate was almost full of guards. Aladdin Pasha, standing at the front, tried his best to control the surging crowd.
"How about it, Ali, do you think you can survive these people? Or do you still not think that I have figured out your little plan?"
Selim smiled playfully, playing tricks on me, you should wait for the rest of your life.
Hearing Selim's words, Ali Pasha's eyes suddenly widened, and there was no color on his face.
"Your Majesty, how did you know? What did you do to them?" Ali seemed a little crazy.
However, Selim would not condone him. Sultan grabbed Ali's head and hit it against the glass. Blood immediately flowed from Ali's head.
"Remember, Ali, you must use honorifics when speaking to me." Selim wiped his hands disdainfully and said contemptuously.
"These idiots really thought they didn't even have spies, and they didn't even think about why Hamid I progressed from illness to death so quickly."
After muttering a few words in his mind, Selim continued to ask.
“Have you thought about it, Ali, give me the money, and you can still be reunited with your family.
Otherwise, your wife and daughter will probably belong to the guys below. "
Ali was almost going crazy, but he slowly calmed down, fell to his knees and begged the Sultan.
"Your Majesty, I beg you, I know you will never let me go no matter what.
I only hope that you will swear to Him as a King to spare my family.
As for what you want, I have already prepared false accounts, and you can take away at least 70% of their wealth.
I will bear the crime of corruption alone. "
Looking at the pitiful Ali Pasha in front of him, Selim nodded.
As for why he agreed, I'm sorry, Selim firmly opposed feudal superstition.
"I swear by Imani and ask the great Messenger Muhammad to witness. As the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, the protector of the Two Holy Mosques, and the Caliph of the Islamic world, I hereby promise:
When Ali Pasha kept his promise, I will keep mine.
If you violate it, you will suffer eternal destruction! "
After hearing Selim's oath, Ali finally felt relieved, because the Prophet did not advocate swearing, so such oaths are extremely important to Muslims.
After receiving Selim's assurance, Ali Pasha took out a box.
"Your Majesty, here are the receipts from many stores in Constantiniya City. I have already replaced the things you need.
Are you concerned about the Imperial Bank recently? With these notes, you can easily clean up these small banks.
Finally, I wish you complete your great renaissance. "
Ali Pasha seemed to have completely put aside his petty thoughts and did not offer the slightest resistance as he followed the guards away.
The guards quickly took Ali Pasha away. The retreating crowd burst into roars from time to time. Ali Pasha's tragic end was already foreseeable.
Selim smiled and waved to summon a young man.
"Justinian, go kill Ali's family. Remember, in order for them to appear to have died at the hands of the Guards, they must be seen by most of the citizens of Constantinople. Whether or not the whole body is left, it will be up to you. you."
The young man left in response. Under the dim morning light, Selim stood alone by the broken window, and the cold spring wind slapped Selim's face.
Sultan suddenly sneered: "Ali, who are you lying to?"
He turned and left the room, followed by the guards.
In the empty room, the cold wind kept pouring in from the broken windows, making waves of whimpering sounds, as if singing an elegy for someone.
I have something to do today, so this chapter is a bit late. Routinely read and collect. The two seas in the article come from the dream of Osman I
