The Crescent of the Sultan

This rebellion and riot gave Selim a wake-up call and made him realize something clearly.

Sometimes, just because you are a time traveler and you think you have hundreds of years more experience than others, you can look down upon the natives.

A guy imprisoned in the palace can join forces with the outside world to stir up such a storm. If he continues to be arrogant, it is difficult to say whether he can save his life, let alone revive the Ottoman Empire.

Selim was reflecting on himself when the spy leader came in and began to report on the situation.

"Your Majesty, the Fanar people have already finished explaining. According to them, they did not know about this matter. Antimus and Aladdin Pasha were in contact throughout the whole process.

But they still gave some useful information.

First, Ali Pasha should have connections with the Armenians and Greeks. It was with the help of these two families that Ali Pasha was able to exchange for so much European currency.

On the Greek side, it should be Mihajvich Angelos, the head of the Angelos family. As for the Armenians, Cardosi Gantacuzino, the head of the Gantacuzino family, is not sure.

Second, Aladdin Pasha and the missing group of senior Guards officers should have fled to Austria or Russia, but Kadosi said that they were more likely to flee to Russia, and we are sending people to hunt them down.

Third, part of Ali Pasha's money should have been stored in France, England and other places. We are sending people to negotiate, but I'm afraid we won't be able to get it back. As for the other part, it may have been transported away, most likely to Russia.

Fourth, regarding the theft of the artillery in the arsenal, the officer should have faked his death and most likely fled to Austria or Russia with Aladdin Pasha. "

Selim listened to Justinian's report, looked at him, and said with a smile.

"Justinian, you have been following me for more than ten years, since I met you in Cairo and brought you back.

I remember you were only eleven or twelve years old at the time. It would be hard for anyone to accept that such a young child was sold as a slave to Egypt.

After all, not everyone is Hassan. Born a slave, he rose through the ranks and became the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Navy.

You were locked in a slave market at that time, in a cage. What era is it that such a thing exists?

At that time, Ayoub Bey invited me to see some Egyptian features. This guy saw you right away.

How could Ayub look like a Sufist? (A sect in Islam that is mystical and advocates asceticism and asceticism)

But, I am the heir. No matter how much Ayub likes me, I have to let him go, right?

You said something to me at that time, remember? Justinian. "

The Sultan's smile still remained on his face, but it was like a layer of oil on the water, making it unconvincing.

"I remember, Your Majesty, Justinian will always remember that it was you who allowed me to kill the slave trader and avenge my mother.

It was you who saved me from being insulted by that guy Ayub.

It was you who allowed me to learn and practice physical skills from an early age, and trained me to become the leader of the "Ottoman Sword".

It was you who transformed me from a slave into a man, a man who did not have to worry about being sold, a man who lived in a mansion and enjoyed good food, a man who was respected by every pasha in the empire.

Justinian remembered all of this, Your Majesty. "

Listening to the spy leader's words, Selim's expression did not change at all. He actually did not doubt the other party's loyalty.

The reason for saying this is that Selim was not satisfied with Justinian's recent performance.

Ali Pasha's mischief, the assassination in Thessaloniki, and the riot in Constantinople, the spy chief did not do well in these three things.

"You are twenty-four years old this year, Justinian. You haven't married yet, why don't you find one?"

Selim asked with a smile. This time it was not the fake smile before, but the kind of smile between relatives.

"Your Majesty, people like us, as your swordsmen, are destined to live in the shadows. A wife will only damage the qualifications of an agent, which is not conducive to serving you."

"You don't have to talk to me like this, Justinian, you, like Anna, have followed me since childhood, and there is no difference from my family. Do you understand? Justinian.

You are under too much pressure. The entire Balkans, Anatolia, Arabia, and Egypt. As the general manager, you have to monitor almost every corner of the empire.

You need a wife, and I will arrange one for you. If you have any ideas, you can also mention them to me, okay? "

Justinian bowed and said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

After sending Justinian away, Selim received Abraham again. The old man was a very good man, just two hundred thousand pounds.

Abraham also came with Ishak Pasha. After a series of bad things, Selim finally heard the good news.

Officials who were sent to the UK to discuss technology transfer and worker training with Matthew Bolton (who was Watt's partner) said that Matthew Bolton had agreed to cooperate, and the price he offered was 150,000 pounds. Within the acceptable range of the empire.

"Ishak Pasha, please make this happen as soon as possible. The holy month is coming soon. The new order of the empire is coming. Crush the old and throw it into the garbage."

While Selim was planning a bright future for the famous Ottoman Empire, Louis XVI was also planning tonight's escape.

It's Christmas. After the long revolution, bloodshed, and struggle, even the energetic people in the old districts of Paris are feeling tired. People are eager to relax on this day.

There were almost no people in the Tuileries Palace late at night.

Many guards had already gone to participate in the celebration, and the only guards were drunk.

With the help of disguise, Louis XVI and his family quickly sneaked out of the Tuileries Palace. They rushed to the gate of St. Martin. Ferson was already waiting for them, and the people arranged by Kalemani Pasha were also ready. .

Under the cover of darkness, a group of people ran along the path.

They were to travel to Montmedy, a heavily fortified Royalist stronghold on France's northeastern border.

The other party would escort them to join the Austrian army.

Fortunately for these escapees, their means of transportation have changed dramatically compared to the original time and space.

Historically, the horse-drawn carriages they rode were too slow. On the bumpy provincial roads, they were lucky to be able to travel more than 5 miles an hour, and they could only travel 10 miles an hour.

This is why Louis XVI was later captured.

But fate is always fickle, and behind good luck always comes misfortune. An "Incorruptible" (Robespierre) who happened to be at the top of the city watched the king's motorcade leave.

He did not send anyone to chase him, but just stared at the carriage without saying a word until the other party disappeared.
