The wolves in Liaodong Wangchuan began to fight back.
In Central Asia, the Ottoman Empire's army finally met the Liangzhou Cavalry head-on!
One hundred thousand versus one hundred thousand.
Sipaxi vs. Liangzhou!
Everyone is paying attention.
What is Sipaxi? It is also transliterated as Spark! It means army in Persian. Sipaxi cavalry is the military feudal landowner cavalry of the Ottoman Empire. Its status in the Ottomans is equivalent to that of European knights. However,
Unlike European knights, they were not hereditary.
Together with the rising Janissary, they constituted the main military force of the Ottoman Empire.
Because the predecessors of the Ottoman Empire, like other Central Asian countries, were nomadic peoples, the Ottomans adopted the military organization and system of fief cavalry such as Sipaxi. This will not be discussed in detail here.
When the Sipaxi cavalry first came out, they were originally just light cavalry. However, with the evolution of the times, in the 15th century, a large number of heavy cavalry equipped with heavy armor appeared in Sipaxi. But at this time, the Sipaxi cavalry
The Sipahi cavalry has actually begun to decline. As Jenicheli's position in the Ottoman Empire became more and more important, and the fief system was corrupted, Sipahi's status was not as good as before. Especially when it came to paying wages
After the massive expansion of Yenicherry, under the influence of the collapse of the fief system, it became increasingly impossible for Sipasi to be maintained.
Finally, the Sipaxi cavalry also became part of the Janissary.
However, in the seventeenth century, the fate of both sides changed again.
What is Jenichery?
Very simply, they are the Turkish Guards.
This is also the biggest problem currently existing in the Ottoman Empire. That is the competition between Christians and Islam.
We have said this before.
The Ottoman Empire was powerful because they tolerated Christians, which made their conquests easier. Therefore, when the Ottomans were at their most powerful, they had already reached the Mediterranean. However, conflicts of religious beliefs existed all the time.
And this Yenicheri is a fanatical Islamic believer! They will never get married, engage in handicrafts, or do business throughout their lives. Their salaries are generous, and those who have made meritorious deeds can be promoted to senior officials.
But later on, these systems began to be relaxed, full-time heirs were passed down, and discipline was ruined. By Mudra III, in order to celebrate the circumcision of the prince, everyone could join the army, which caused Yenicery to completely lose its combat effectiveness and make the organization bloated.
, which infinitely increased the financial pressure on the Ottoman Empire.
Finally, Jenichery became an instrument of palace intrigues, and its barracks became the source of palace turmoil and rebellion.
In 1622, Yanichery killed Sultan Osman II and established the mad Mustafa I. Erdogan was Mustafa’s eldest prince!
As of now.
Erdogan is actually close to Jenichery. After all, his father's throne was given to him by Jenichery.
Likewise, he was also aware of...the internal disputes within the Ottoman Empire at this time.
A few days ago, Sipahi suffered a great defeat in Europe. Since then, Sipahi, who represents the power of feudal lords among the people, has no choice but to join Yenicheri. However, the hatred and gaps between the two parties have always existed.
Very complicated.
Every country is very complex, not to mention that the Ottoman territory now spans Asia, Africa and Latin America?
so.
For Erdogan, this battle must be won!
Sipaxi, we can’t lose again!
If you lose again!
This Sipaxi cavalry, which has always valued glory, will definitely rebel!
What are you commanding, this group of Guards? We might as well play by ourselves!
It's a lot of pressure.
One hundred thousand Sipashi cavalry and one hundred thousand Guards are not of the same mind.
at this time.
Zhai Shiqing's fierce attack was not a good thing for him.
But both sides.
Still, the close combat began.
This scene is undoubtedly quite shocking! Because some time ago, Zhai Shiqing's side was clear and strong, so there was almost no obstacle to the cavalry on both sides.
