These are four words that are deeply painful and disgusting for any emperor.
Just kidding, if your absolute supremacy is to be challenged, if you have to hand over your control over such a large empire, who would be willing?
Of course, except for guys like Liu Zheng who like to "do nothing".
At least when Hamid saw these four words, he refused in his heart.
He has just become sultan and is about to give up power?
but.
He also knows that today's Ottomans still have vast territory, military strength, and are still arrogant among the heroes, but in fact it is easy to fall apart. After he came to power, every city has been occupied by the reveling Sipaxi cavalry.
The flag of Pashi has been planted all over the Ottoman Empire.
This is what the idol said in the letter.
"Water can carry a boat and also capsize it."
Hamid is not stupid. He knows that everything he has was given by these Sipaxi cavalry, but what he needs to do now is how to make these Sipaxi cavalry better in the new system of his reform and the new conflict.
, you can still follow him wholeheartedly.
Sipaxi is a cavalry system.
This system was once extremely popular in Europe, that is, the fief system. This system was developed from Western Europe and lasted for hundreds of years as a feudal dynasty land ownership system. The fief system refers to the European system in the Middle Ages.
The king granted land to ministers, and the lord could enjoy it for life, subject to cavalry service, but it could not be hereditary.
In fact, to put it bluntly, this is the feudal system in ancient China, but there are two differences. First, the recipient of the fief must perform military service. If he refuses to perform military service, the fief will be taken back. Second, it cannot be hereditary. Both sides of the fief
, if either party dies, the fief will be recovered.
But as history changes.
The hereditary succession of fiefs was unstoppable.
In the end, when hereditary inheritance became the mainstream, it was almost the same as feudalism.
The fief system is very helpful in improving the country's combat effectiveness. The lord has complete administrative, judicial, military and financial rights in his own land.
certainly.
Here we are talking about Sipaxi.
So what happened to the Ottoman Sipaxi? In fact, it is the cavalry system in ancient times. They are the lord's cavalry team. They rely on the output of the lord's land to maintain the troops and will not cause any financial trouble to Istanbul. Their status is
It is equivalent to the knights in the European Middle Ages, but Sipaxi is absolutely impossible to be hereditary.
In the Ottomans, this kind of fiefdom system was called Dilic. In order to obtain the fiefdom, they were obliged to provide their loyalty and military strength to the Sultan.
Hamid has always been a supporter of the cavalry system.
Because in the past, the Ottomans relied on Dilic to expand crazily, reaching a place and leaving a lord behind, which supported the Ottomans' proud territory across Asia, Africa and Europe.
But after he became Sultan, he felt that the cavalry system had begun to become an obstacle to his top-down reforms.
Yes.
Just like him, no one is willing to change the previous centralized system. To put it simply, what do these lords support him for? Isn't it for supreme power in their own territories and absolute control over land, farmers, and property.
Right now.
Countless lords, in the Istanbul Government Office, were shouting, slamming their wine glasses, and yelling curses, waiting for his reward and his conferment of honors.
But Hamid hesitated.
He suddenly felt that the cavalry system full of aristocratic spirit was just the perfection he had always longed for.
Today's world is no longer the world of lords and knights.
Capitalism has become a force that cannot be ignored.
Osman, how to save yourself.
He chewed carefully what the idol conveyed to him in the letter.
