Chapter 50 Each Has Its Own Difficulties

This rebellion and riot gave Selim a wake-up call and made him realize some things.

Sometimes, if you are not a time traveler, you can look down on the natives just because you think you have seen hundreds of years more than others.

A guy imprisoned in the palace can join hands with the outside world to stir up such a storm. If he continues to be arrogant, let alone reviving the Ottoman Empire, it is hard to say whether he can even save his life.

Selim was reflecting on himself when the spy prince came in and began to report the situation.

"Your Majesty, the Fanars have already explained. According to them, they were not aware of this matter. The whole process was communicated by Anthimos and Aladdin Pasha.

But they still gave some useful information.

First, Ali Pasha should have connections with the Armenians and Greeks. It was with the help of these two families that Ali Pasha was able to exchange so much European currency.

For the Greek side, it should be the head of the Angelos family, Mihajvich Angelos. As for the Armenians, the head of the Gantakuzino family, Cardosi Gantakuzino, is not very clear.

Second, Aladdin Pasha and the unknown The high-ranking guardsmen who went there should have fled to Austria or Russia, but Cardosi said that they were more likely to flee to Russia, and we are sending people to hunt them down.

Third, part of Ali Pasha's money should be stored in France, Britain and other places. We are sending people to negotiate, but I am afraid we can't get it back. As for the other part, it may have been transported away, most likely to Russia.

Fourth, regarding the theft of the artillery in the arsenal, the officer should have faked his death, and most likely fled to Austria or Russia with Aladdin Pasha. "

Selim listened to Justinian's report, looked at him, and said with a smile.

"Justinian, you have been with me for more than ten years, since I met you in Cairo and brought you back.

I remember you were only eleven or twelve years old at that time. It would be hard for anyone to accept that such a young child was sold to Egypt as a slave.

After all, not everyone is Hassan. A slave was promoted all the way to the commander-in-chief of the imperial navy.

You were locked up in the slave market at that time, in a cage. What era is there? Such a thing still exists.

At that time, Ayub Bey invited me to see the characteristics of Egypt, and this guy saw you at first sight.

Ayub doesn't look like a Sufi. (A sect in Islam with a mystical color, advocating abstinence and asceticism)

But, I am the heir, no matter how much Ayub likes it, he has to give it up, right?

What did you say to me at that time, remember? Justinian."

The Sultan's smile still remained on his face, but that smile was like a layer of oil on the water, which made it hard to believe.

"I remember, Your Majesty, Justinian will always remember that it was you who made me kill the slave trader and avenge my mother.

It was you who saved me from being humiliated by that guy Ayub.

It was you who made me learn and practice physical skills since I was a child, and trained me to become the leader of the "Ottoman Sword".

It was you who made me from a slave into a person, a person who does not have to worry about being sold, a person who lives in a mansion and enjoys delicious food, and a person respected by every Pasha in the empire.

Justinian remembers all this, Your Majesty."

Listening to the words of the spy leader, Selim's face did not change much. In fact, he did not doubt the other party's loyalty.

The reason for this is that Selim is not satisfied with Justinian's recent performance.

Ali Pasha's tricks, the assassination of Thessalonica, and the riot of Constantinia, the spy leader did not do well in these three things.

"You are 24 years old this year, Justinian. You haven't married yet. Why don't you find one?"

Selim asked with a smile. This time it was not the fake smile before, but the smile between relatives.

"Your Majesty, people like us, as your swords, are destined to live in the shadows. A wife will only damage the qualification of a spy, which is not conducive to serving you."

"Don't talk to me like this, Justinian. You are like Anna. You have been with me since childhood. You are no different from my family. Do you know? Justinian.

You are under too much pressure. The entire Balkans, Anatolia, Arabia, Egypt, as the general manager, you have to monitor almost every corner of the empire.

You need a wife, I will arrange one for you. If you have any ideas, you can also tell me, okay?"

Justinian bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After sending Justinian away, Selim received Abraham again. The old man was very sensible and directly gave him 200,000 pounds.

Ishak Pasha also came with Abraham. After a series of bad things, Selim finally heard good news.

The official sent to the UK to discuss technology transfer and worker training with Matthew Bolton (who was Watt's partner) said that Matthew Bolton had agreed to cooperate and the price he offered was 150,000 pounds, which was within the acceptable range of the empire.

"Ishak Pasha, make this happen as soon as possible. The holy month is coming soon. The new order of the empire is about to come. The old one will be crushed and thrown into the garbage dump."

While Selim was planning the bright future of the famous Ottoman Empire, Louis XVI was also planning his escape plan tonight.

It was Christmas. After a long revolution, bloodshed, and struggle, even the energetic people in the old district of Paris felt tired and were eager to relax on this day.

There were almost no people in the Tuileries Palace late at night.

Many guards had gone to the celebration, and the only guards were drunk.

With the help of disguise, Louis XVI and his family quickly got out of the Tuileries Palace. They rushed to the Saint-Martin Gate. Furson was waiting for them, and the people arranged by Kalman Pasha were ready.

Under the cover of night, the group ran all the way along the path.

They will go to Montmedy, a heavily defended royalist stronghold located on the northeastern border of France.

The other party will escort them to meet the Austrian army.

Fortunately for these fugitives, their means of transportation have changed dramatically compared to the original time and space.

The carriages they rode in history were too slow. On the bumpy provincial roads, they were lucky to travel more than 5 miles an hour, and at most 10 miles.

This is why Louis XVI was later captured.

But fate is always unpredictable. Behind luck is always misfortune. An "incorruptible" (Robespierre) who happened to be on the top of the city watched the king's convoy leave.

He did not send anyone to chase, but just stared at the carriage without saying a word until the other party disappeared.
