CHAPTER 2: PREPARATION FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF THE NEW SULTAN AND THE TASK OF THE STATE
"Sir.." suddenly the voice of the person who was calling me. He is my personal helper, MALIK his name.
"what's malik." I asked
"Sultan mehmed called you at his residence."
"wait, to KONYA" I said
"Yes sir. You have to go to KONYA" he said
"All right, I'll be there. You take 100 soldiers, we're leaving now" I said
now I am in the city of fethiye, which is quite a distance from KONYA to Fethiye. But I don't care about it. Immediately I, Malik and the 100 best troops quickly to rush the horse to ankara.
The trip to Turkey is about 1 and a half days. Akh was really tired but we continued walking while resting for a moment and then continued on our way back.
I also arrived in Ankara there I saw Halil pasha with another royal magnate.
"Sultan mehmed is waiting for you sir" he said, bowing his head. Looks like the others did the same.
"All right, I'm going in. Malik"
"yes sir"
"You wait here. I'm going to see Sultan MEHMED" I said
"good is sultan"
I entered his palace, the place was very luxurious. I also went to the door of the sultan's room guarded by 2 soldiers.
"Sir, the Sultan has been waiting for you"
"well, I'll go in"
they opened the door and I went inside. They then covered the door again.
I also saw the Sultan of MEHMED standing in white clothes holding a wooden rattan. I feel an unpleasant air.
"assalamualaikum sultan" said I bowed my head
"waalaikum greetings to mr. ALI. Comehere"
I stood near the Sultan facing him.
"what is the sultan calling me" I said
"it's the city of IZMIR, Sultan"
Yes, it is a map of the territory of the ottoman kingdom.
"Well, some time ago the kalos antamotshikane (king of the byzantines in Constantinople) had sent an army of 150,000 men to attack Izmir. He wanted to pave the way for the crusaders to attack through the border in this city. However, this army was eventually defeated by HASAN (Knight of OTTOMAN). I want you to bring 50,000 troops and help HASAN defend the city of Izmir. We don't know if this army will strike again or not. At least until my coronation as sultan is done."
To note, Murad II, Father mehmed II died yesterday afternoon. That's why Mehmed went to KONYA to see his father for the last time. Previously he was in the city of Sivas with his wife Emine gulbahar hatun and his son Beyazid. Knowing the news of his father's death he also langsungke KONYA city and tomorrow is the coronation of sultan mehmed II.
"I know you're very talented in martial arts and use weapons. Evidently when you managed to expel the rebels who attacked from the south and remove the bandits. I'm also sure you can help HASAN there. Until the preparation of the siege of Constantinople has been completed"
*WHAT!!!* I was shocked. Inside my heart felt something big was going to happen and it turned out that my gut feeling was right.
"S.sultan..."
"What's ALI"
"Whether the decision to besiege Constantine will not lead to a major war. We must remember that Poland, Kharzman, Germany, England and France will certainly help Emperor Kalos to defend Constantinople. Fear they will gang up on us at 3 border points.
Border in the ottoman there are 4: namely:
North: the Ottoman border with byzantium (enemy) near the city of Izmir. Ottoman borders with Poland near the cities of Neveshir and Ezurum. It is also close to Russia, which is bounded by a wide river.
South: Ottoman border with ayyubiyah
West : Ocean. At sea there are a lot of warships of francis sailing
East: Ottoman border with kwarazmian dynasti. This border is close to many cities such as Sivas, Alanya, Van, etc. Because these 2 kingdoms are still one land (not restricted by oceans or rivers) and moreover their relationship is not good this late, causing the possibility that if a great war breaks out, it is this kwarazmian that must be more wary.
Next to his story
"I know that. Do not worry, Halil pasha has sent letters to the kings of the Polish kingdom, Hungary, Russia, Karamagnolu, Kwarazman, and german. So that during the expansion is carried out will not get any obstacles. Trust me."
"Now the sultan"
"good. You can leave in the morning. Rest up. I've prepared an inn for you."
"Well sultan.sorry sultan, when will our expansion begin"
"2 more years. There's still time"
"Alright sultan. I'm retreating."
The next morning, Malik and I set out with 50,000 men (20,000 infantrymen, 5,000 cavlery, and 25,000 archers) to leave for the city of IZMIR. The trip is expected to take 5 days.
