1123 Kara is a dog asking for support)
Does the owner need a reason to kill a dog?
unnecessary!
Besides, Kara is also a slave of a slave, a dog. Killing him is like crushing an ant to death.
"As you wish, your Majesty."
As the confidant eunuch of His Majesty the Sultan, Ali also didn't think it was a big deal. He just killed a slave, and that slave had just one more thing than him. Soon, he led several guards to the manor where Ahmed Koprulu lived, a manor belonging to Lord Sipahi, whose master was fighting for the Sultan on the front line.
When Ali arrived at the manor, Kara Mustafa was arranging how to ensure food on the front line. After learning that Ali was here, he immediately left the work at hand and greeted Ali in person.
"Ali, my friend, why do you have time to come here today?"
Ali just sneered at the closeness of Kara Mustafa.
"Kara Mustafa, I came here at the will of the Sultan. As a minister, you did not raise military supplies in time during the war, resulting in a setback on the frontline attack..."
What!
Before Ali could finish speaking, Kara Mustafa stared at the black eunuch with his eyes full of doubts and confusion.
What is this guy talking about?
What?
Sultan wants to kill me?
"Why?"
Kara Mustafa shouted.
"By the will of the Sultan!"
Ali retorted.
"Hang him!"
As soon as Ali finished speaking, the guards behind him walked towards Kara Mustafa with a rope. When the Ottoman Empire hanged the big man, there was no need for gallows. They just had to twist a rope around the big man's neck, and then two soldiers pulled the rope hard.
Such hanging ensures that the great man will die in pain.
Kara Mustafa was stunned at first and then said loudly.
"Sultan is crazy! He wants to kill Vizier,"
In an instant, Kara Mustafa figured it out, and the Sultan was not just trying to kill him, he was paving the way for the killing of Ahmed Koprulu.
Kara Mustafa, who considered himself a member of the Koprulu family and the guardian of the family's power, realized the danger of the family, immediately pointed at Ali and others and shouted at the guards beside him.
"Kill them!"
Every Great Vizier has a guard of 1,500 people. This guard is a black slave sent by the Pashas in North Africa. Those black slaves have received strict training since childhood. They are simple-minded and never ask whether the order is reasonable.
And Kara Mustafa also has a guard with more than 300 people, and is also a black slave.
After receiving the master's order, the black slaves immediately pulled out the scimitar and killed Ali and others silently.
"You, you dare to rebel..."
Ali, who was startled, pointed his finger at Kara Mustafa and shouted loudly. At this time, the black slave guards had rushed to his side and cut down the guards in a few seconds. Seeing Kara Mustafa directly rebelled, Ali, who was scared to death, looked at Kara Mustafa in horror. He, he really rebelled!
Just as the scimitar was about to slash him, Kara Mustafa shouted.
"Save him a life!"
"Ah, my grandma, please spare me, I just took the order..."
Ali, who usually acts extremely domineeringly, was also tactful and immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. This is the nature of these eunuchs. They will never be tough guys in the face of danger. After all, they are not good guys in themselves.
"After order... Then why did the Sultan kill me!"
Kara Mustafa asked.
"Because I was worried that the Great Vizier would collude with Lord Sipahi to rebel, so I would attack you and then attack Vizier again."
At this time, all the responsibility is of course to the Sultan. Even if Ali is crazy, he will not say that he has received 10,000 silver coins from others. It is to disagree with the relationship between Great Vizier and the Sultan, which makes the Sultan doubt Great Vizier, and then he is ready to use your head to remind Great Vizier.
Now that people have not been killed, the responsibility is of course the Sultan.
"Damn guy!"
Kara Mustafa cursed hatefully, and then fell into deep thought.
What should I do now?
Is it just waiting to die?
In fact, Kara Mustafa has never been a person who is waiting to die. Even before that, he had already had his own plans and would never let Davizier's brother-in-law become the scapegoat for the Sultan, and of course he would not watch the Sultan kill himself and his brother-in-law.
Perhaps, Kara Mustafa is a dog of the Koprulu family, but this dog is not a pug. He can bite people. It is true that he is a dog, but this dog is a guardian of the family. In any case, he will not tolerate anyone threatening the Koprulu family!
He had already had the answer in his heart, pondered for a while, and then he ordered people.
"Go and call Mustafa and Siyawolfs over."
Soon, Mustafa Koprulu and Siyawofs came over. After entering the manor, Siyawof asked when he saw the bodies of the guards on the ground.
"Kara, what's going on?"
He was another son-in-law of the Koprulu family, and in history, he took over the position after Mustafa Koprulu was forced to resign from the post of Davizi.
"The Sultan is going to attack us. He not only sends people to kill me, but also to kill Vizier!"
His words made Mustafa Koprulu and Siyawovs's faces change slightly. He stared at the blood on the ground, and Mustafa Koprulu said directly.
"Since the Sultan has taken action against us, then follow the plan!"
Compared with others, Mustafa Koprulu was more decisive. In history, after Kara Mustafa was killed due to the defeat in Vienna, facing the complete collapse of the imperial edifice established by the first two Koprulu, he spent several years colluding with other generals to depose Muhammad IV on the charges of lack of ability in governing the country and not being called the monarch of the Heavenly Square.
Now, facing the test of life and death, he immediately made the same decision to depose the Sultan!
He knew very well that once the Sultan attacked his elder brother, he would also be affected.
"Then let's do it!"
Siyawolfs said directly.
Although he was the son-in-law of the Koprulu family, his interests had long been bound to the family.
"Now the main force of the Guards is under the control of the elder brother. There are only a few hundred guards around the Sultan. As for the Guards here..."
Siyawofs said looking at Kara Mustafa.
"Isn't it always in your control? If they are ordered to attack the palace, they will definitely obey the order!"
This is exactly the reason why Muhammad IV wanted to kill Kara, he controlled 20,000 guards near the palace. Once he wanted to rebel, the Sultan was completely dead.
"They will definitely obey orders, but..."
Kara sneered.
"But some of them also disobey orders. Do we still have time to plan all this carefully? I originally thought that at least we would wait until the elder brother failed on the front line before he would take action. I didn't expect that he would attack the elder brother so soon, so..."
Kara said looking at the two brothers.
"Just use our guards, use them to pretend to be eunuchs, enter the palace, and then directly deal with the sultan..."
Even during the march and war, there were hundreds of black eunuchs around the Sultan, which was why Kara formulated this plan.
"But who can bring our guards into the palace?"
“Ali,”
Kara said.
"He will take us to the palace, and as long as we enter the palace, we will succeed. After all, everything is in our control now."
Sometimes, launching a coup is not very complicated, especially for those powerful officials who hold military and political power. Launching a coup is a very simple thing in itself.
For several powerful ministers of the Koprulu family, they not only control the army, but also control the government and launch a coup... it is naturally simple.
"The plan can be implemented like this. As long as the Sultan is solved, even the guards around him will not have any abnormal movements. They are also guards. Our interests are common, but what is most worrying is the big brother's idea!"
Mustafa Koprulu had never worried about the Guards. It is true that the Guards were slaves to the Sultan, but the Guards also had their interests. In fact, more than ten years later, the reason why Mustafa Koprulu was able to launch a coup successfully was because of the help of the Guards. In the following 100 years, the Guards became an extremely important force within the Ottoman Empire. As long as they were willing, they could depose the Sultan at any time!
The former slave turned into another master of Türkiye overnight! And as long as they were willing, they could replace their nominal master at any time.
From then on, this force has become a force that cannot be ignored in Turkish politics.
Mustafa said with some concern.
"We don't know what the eldest brother is thinking, and will he agree with our actions."
"Whether we agree or not, after we do all this, even if our elder brother disagrees, he can only express his support."
Kara said bluntly. Such a thing is a serious crime of beheading. Even if the elder brother doesn't agree, when the road is complete, what's the point of his opposition?
Besides, the eldest brother is not a person who is waiting to die!
Kara then said again.
Chapter completed!
