The tale of Rashid I Jalayirid 1708-1714 (Part 2/6)
The first thing besides the war that our new Sultan was worried with was our realms nobles, they wanted to pressure our Sultan to give in to their demands due to us being at war, as expected our leader did not oblige and the nobles spread vicious rumours and destabilized our realm as a result.
We got a report from Europe saying the the tiny country of Hamburg had laid a claim to the Austrian throne.
Our leader followed up our plan of getting Bohemia out of the war in order to free the northern front, we bribed them with a small indemnity of a mere 25 ducats.
Since the Bohemians gave up the war, many countries followed and soon only Venice and Austria forced to continue the war, while Magdeburg soon peaced out.
Also we have reports indicating that the Austrians themselves are troubled with revolts.
Austria is forced to give a humiliating peace to the Swiss, losing Tirol and much cash.
Our dear Sultan is most skilled in the art of combat, and as such he favors Quality in his troops.
Without ever facing the French in battle, the war ends in a white peace.
Our land technology gives us a stronger cavalry.
Our troops can nearly reach Vienna, and aren't far from the city now, however the war has taken it's toll and the country is yearning for peace.
Our Sultan realises that the war has reached the point where he can demand what he wants from the Austrians, and even though the armies are standing near the Austrian capital he demands that we make peace with them, in his own words, "There is no reason to continue the war, even if we reach Vienna we can't gain anything more, our people and theirs, have suffered enough. It's time to end this, this great victory for our country will be in the honor of the memory of the former Sultan, as it was he that made it all possible. We will continue his efforts, to make us even greater!"
These are the conditions of peace, in the three provinces they will keep in Turkey, we have planted rebels.
Overextension happens as a result of extremely quick rebels (Only took days for some reason, enlighten me anyone?)
Now that the war is over, we can introduce Rashids heir. Ahmad Jalayirid!
Also, Banten defects to us, a province in the middle of nowhere.
