65, mountain bandit(2/2)

Ali Pasha of Egypt was like this, and other lords were naturally like this as well.

For example, Ali Pasha of Ioannina openly raised his troops in rebellion not long ago.

This pasha once relied on his brutal methods to rule a large area such as Albania, and began to openly oppose the imperial center in Istanbul.

In 1820, Ali Pasha assassinated Pacho Bey, his political rival in Istanbul, and Sultan Mahmud II took the opportunity to dismiss Ali Pasha from his post and asked him to return to the capital to report on his duties.

Of course Ali Pasha knew that he would die if he reached the capital, so he refused to resign his official position, and united with other pashas in the surrounding areas to openly launch troops to resist the Sultan.

By 1822, after two years of fierce fighting, despite initially gaining the upper hand, Ali Pasha was finally defeated by the Sultan's army. In January 1822, the Ottoman army came to Ali Pasha's refuge and deceived him.

Said the Sultan would grant him a full pardon.

Ali Pasha was fooled and prepared to lift the resistance, but when he was asked to surrender and be beheaded, Pasha chose to resist bravely to the end. In the final battle, a bullet penetrated his body and his head was immediately beheaded.

He took it down and gave it to the Sudan.

The remaining remains of him were buried in a local mosque.

After Ali Pasha's death, his original army was scattered. Some turned into bandits and wandered around, some disappeared, and some simply joined the Greek rebellion and continued to fight against the Turkish Sultan.

Therefore, the current Balkan Peninsula is in chaos. The Turkish Empire and Greece, warlords Pasha, and other various forces are intertwined with conflicts. They cooperate with each other and fight with each other. The situation is chaotic, and civilians are the most direct victims.

Of course, they also endured the most profound disasters.

[Ali Pasha of Ioannina is the historical prototype of Ali, the governor of Ioannina who was betrayed by Fernando in "The Count of Monte Cristo".

In the original work, Alexandre Dumas fictionalized that Haidee was the daughter of this pasha, but in history, the pasha was already 80 years old when he was defeated and killed, while Haidee was only 4 years old... Therefore, in order to make it more

To be more realistic, this work sets Haidee as the granddaughter of this pasha, otherwise it would be too scary...]

After learning about the other party's past experience, Edmond Dantès suddenly became more interested in this group of bandits - after all, compared to the ragtag group of ordinary bandits, people who have had formal military experience are obviously more likely to

A bit more useful.

Moreover, their embarrassing situation left them with few choices - they were enemies of Turkey, but the Greeks did not welcome them, so they could only work for their own survival in a hurry.
