Sultan Selim III was killed, and his cousin, Mustafa, became the new sultan, and this was Sultan Mustafa IV. In the original history, Sultan Selim III angered the feudal lords of the country because of his reforms, and was also deposed by the Sultan's own soldiers through a coup d'état. It was also Sultan Mustafa IV who succeeded to the throne.

It's just that in the original history, the army loyal to Sultan Selim III was not wiped out. As the saying goes, "The monk can touch it, but I can't touch it"? Could it be that only Sudanese pro-soldiers will carry out a coup d'état? So the new army, which had been loyal to Selim III, was directly killed. Originally, everyone thought that there would be a civil war in Turkey. However, I didn't expect that the Sultan's own soldiers were so peace-loving (Feira was unbearable), and as soon as they engaged in the battle, they broke up directly, and the soldiers went back to their homes and looked for their mothers. Then Mustafa IV was naturally finished, and his younger brother Mahmad II became sultan.

But in this time and space, because there were more and stronger troops loyal to Sultan Selim III than in history, Sultan Selim III lived a few years longer than in his original history. But in the original history, when he was deposed in a coup d'état, 40,000 new troops loyal to him were still there, but they were mobilized to confront the Austrians in the Balkans. So at that time, these troops were able to shout and kill back to Istanbul.

But in this space, most of Turkey's new army was killed by the Russians in the war, and what was left was left to suppress the Greek uprising. What's worse is that after the coup d'état in Istanbul, the new gang that came to power had long seen that these guys who were not pleasing to the eyes of the new army, and immediately sent personnel to arrest the officers who commanded the army, and at the same time stopped the army's material supply, including food.

Then, Assad Pasha, who led the troops, rebelled without hesitation. It's just that he has few soldiers in his hands, and Jing is difficult to appease, so Assad Pasha chose to occupy the mountain as the king, ah, no, it is the practice of occupying the island as the king. He led his army to a port, forcibly requisitioned dozens of large and small ships in the port, and then brought his army to Crete.

The Turkish army in Crete, the assistant was taken by them without blood, and Assad Pasha established himself as governor of Crete. And sent people to contact other countries, as well as Sultan Mustafa IV, in the hope that everyone would recognize his status.

In short, Mustafa IV is now in a more secure position than it was in his original history, at least domestically, because there was no new Turkish army of 40,000 men to kill him. Of course, there is a more troublesome thing, that is, although there is not a single Jingnan army to kill it, but a Russian army of 50,000 people has killed it. In the original history, the Sultan's personal soldiers could not stop the Jingnan army, and the current Sultan's personal soldiers could not stop the Russian army?

Therefore, after the coup d'état, Sultan Mustafa IV immediately contacted European countries, including Russia. He assured European countries that any agreements initialled between Sultan Selim III and other countries were legitimate and would be implemented to the letter, even though one of the reasons for the coup was Sultan Selim III's betrayal.

The envoy sent to Russia even told the Russians that Sultan Selim III had acted perversely, provoked border provocations without permission, and was convicted of going to the country, which was really a crime that could not be punished. Now that the new Turkish monarch has ascended the throne, he is willing to reconcile with Russia......

As for the Russians, let the envoy go to Petersburg to meet the Tsar himself, and then naturally do whatever he wants.

When the news of the coup d'état in Istanbul came, Napoleon was pouring a glass of red wine into his mouth.

"Poof!" Napoleon couldn't control himself at once, squirting a sip of wine all over the table, and couldn't help coughing. Lola quickly got up and patted him on the chest.

It was a long time before Napoleon gasped: "Is the news exact?" ”

"Nonsense, if it's not exact, I'll run over in person?" Lucien Road.

"Did you inform Joseph?" Napoleon asked again.

"Of course, I hung up on him before I came, and it was Fanny who answered her, and she said that Joseph was discussing something with the students. But she agreed to let him know right away, and he was supposed to be there right away. ”

"I haven't seen it, discussing things with his students, it's really not something that can be solved all at once." Napoleon shook his head, "Still, he should be here soon, after all, money is involved!" ”

As Napoleon had estimated, Joseph arrived very quickly.

"What's going on? What's wrong? I knew that those Turks had lost the mud that they couldn't hold up to the wall! As soon as he entered, Joseph yelled.

"You're right, Joseph." Napoleon had already lost his temper at this time, but his mood calmed down, "But to be honest, wasn't the reason why we supported Turkey in the first place was because they were bad enough?" ”

Originally, Joseph was on fire, but when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he couldn't help laughing.

"Napoleon, what you are saying is ...... It makes so much sense! ”

Since ancient times, it has been a very contradictory thing to raise foreign agents, or to raise dogs. Dogs can't be too good at fighting, too useful. If you are too good at fighting and too useful, you will not be willing to be a dog, and you will always want to be a human being on an equal footing with you. But the dog is too useless, and it's not good, because if something happens, not only will he not be able to help, but he will always drag you back. However, considering that most of the time dogs are not raised to bite people, but to eat meat, so when choosing a dog, most of the time it is better to choose not to do it, drag its feet, and never choose the kind that can bite.

After laughing for a while, Joseph said, "But these Turks are really ...... The Russians are going to fight Constantinople, and they are still playing this hand. However, we can't completely control these stupid people from being stupid. The question now is, how do we deal with this state? ”

"Constantinople must not be given to Russia." Joseph said.

If Constantinople fell into the hands of the Russians, the Russians would control the junction of Eurasia and have access to the Mediterranean. And in the Middle East, he has a decisive geographical advantage. Joseph didn't want Britain to be able to calm down to the west, and before he could catch his breath, an unprecedentedly powerful Russia suddenly appeared in the east.

"Although those Turks changed a sultan. But the treaty signed between the previous Sultan and us, and what is the new Sultan called? Napoleon said this, and suddenly asked.

"Mustafa IV." Lucien replied.

"Oh, Mustafa IV, a rotten ear of grass that damaged his sturdy brother, a murderer, a scoundrel, a slave, a harlequin posing as king, a pickpocket who steals the throne, steals that precious crown from the shelf and stuffs it in his pocket! How did you say they would play such a hand at this time? Napoleon said.

"Isn't this a normal, common thing? Don't you see that in the Revolution, Philip Equality's performances were all the same in a sense? Joseph laughed, "But for us, such an unjust king may be more useful." His position is unprecedentedly weak, and he will not dare to violate the agreements we have signed with them, even if they are only initialed. Therefore, our plan can still be carried out according to the original plan. No, the plan should have been quickened so that the volunteer army of the Holy See arrived faster and built fortifications outside Constantinople. ”

Philippe Equality, the Duke of Orleans. In the Revolution, he has always behaved very revolutionary, very radical, even among the far left of the Montagnards, he is on the far left. Even to show how much he loved the Republic, he changed his surname to "Equality" and spearheaded the death sentence in the trial of Louis XVI. However, everyone knows that these actions of the Duke of Orleans were all to give himself a chance to become the king of France. To this end, he did not hesitate to form an alliance with the most sinister enemies of the royal power. Compared with the Duke of Orleans, in fact, Mustafa IV and the Turkish conservatives are really not particularly strange.

"You're right, but there's one thing I think we can put on a posture of condemning them and denying their legitimacy first, and wait for them to come out with a higher price." Napoleon said.

Foreign Minister Talleyrand immediately summoned the Turkish ambassador and made this statement about the internal affairs of Turkey:

"Your country, Sultan Selim III, is an old friend of the French people, and France is very concerned about the current situation in your country, and firmly opposes any illegal means to overthrow such a legitimate monarch, who is loved by the people of Turkey and the people of the world."

Looking at Talleyrand's righteous and stern appearance, Turkish Ambassador Ahmadi couldn't help but think in his heart: "You French gang, the guy who sent the orthodox king to the guillotine for public execution, and what kind of legitimate king are you embarrassed to say?" Besides, my country in Turkey is here, and it is my traditional Turkish virtue to kill between these brothers......"

However, he didn't dare to say it directly, because it was going to come out, and it would be difficult to say what the relationship between the two countries would be, but he himself would definitely not have a good result. So he explained: "Your Excellency, I know that there are many rumors that I have had a coup d'état, and that the current Sultan of our country has usurped the throne by killing the previous Sultan. But these rumors are not true, they are all our enemies, made up by the Russians, and used to sow discord between our two countries. In fact, our previous king, His Majesty Sultan Selim III, has always been in poor health, and after the recent shameless war of aggression launched by the Russians against our country, His Majesty became more and more unhealthy because of his worries about state affairs. On his deathbed, His Majesty left a testament to his cousin, His Majesty Mustafa IV, the new Sultan of our country. All this is done under the witness of Allah. ”

"Is that really the case?" Talleyrand asked.

"Of course it is." Ambassador Ahmadi replied in the affirmative.

"So, are some rumours about your country, such as the imam of your country and the new Sultan condemning the policies of His Majesty Selim III and intending to reject him altogether? The agreements reached between our country and your country during the time of His Majesty Selim III are still valid? ”

"Of course, my country has always kept its promises. The agreement reached between your country and our country, of course, will be adhered to by our ......"

Hearing this, Talleyrand laughed: "In this case, some misunderstandings between our two countries should be resolved. Well, your country has just suffered losses on the battlefield, and now it has lost such an outstanding king as Sultan Selim III, and your country is in a very bad situation. I heard that your country intends to sue for peace with the Russians? Even intended to cede lands in the Balkans to the Russians? My friend, as a friend, I would like to give you a word of advice. You must know that dealing with the Russians by cutting off the land is like using firewood to put out fire. The fire will not be extinguished until the firewood is burned. Although your country is large, the amount of land is always limited, but the greed of the Russians for land is unlimited. So I suggest that you speed up the hiring of those 'Southern Italian volunteers' in Italy, and hurry up and hand over the rest of the money and drag the troops back, otherwise it will be too late. In addition, because of the recent changes in your country, there is a general consensus among our bankers that the risk of lending to your country has increased significantly, so if you lend to your country, then the interest rate will have to rise a little bit. At the same time, we need more collateral. ”

Immediately after the talks with Talleyrand, Ambassador Ahmadi reported the situation to the country via cable. Soon he got a reply, and Mustafa IV fully agreed to the demands of the French. Soon, a large number of South Italian volunteers boarded the ship.

In order to solve the crisis, Mustafa IV sold the interests of the country more simply than his brother, and the asking price was much lower, for example, he completely mortgaged the mining rights in the Persian Gulf to the French, so that he could borrow money from the French to hire Italians and buy weapons and ammunition from the French.

Considering that the French have raised interest rates on loans, the Turks' ability to repay is actually very problematic. Of course, the Turks tightened their belts up and down, not repaying. But this is really not a Turkish habit. The Turks are still more accustomed to paying their debts, but the French are not good at paying their debts. Fortunately, the French took a fancy to the barren land near the Persian Gulf and offered to use the minerals of this area as collateral. And claim the right to garrison troops here. And the Turks felt that there was nothing wrong with selling all the minerals here to the French in order to survive this crisis.
