~ THE OSMANLI EMPIRE ~

Here follows the tales of great Sultan Beyazid II
'adala of the Osmanli Empire
Son of Mehmed II the Conqueror​

written by The Grand Vizier​

1492:
It was warm monday morning, Grand Vizier Ali Pasha was walking quickly towards the Palace in Istanbul. The 'adala had summoned him, Ali was wondering what was so urgent that it couldn't wait till after breakfeast. "Can it be rebellions in the east again" he thought to himself. "We must avoid another Kizil Bash". His pace quickend, "Could it be trouble with the Shah of Persia again", it was a known fact Ismail I Shah of Persia had sponsored several of these Rebellions. "Why would anyone would think the prophet, choose Ali, when it is clearly documented abu Bakr was to be the first caliph" he thought as he entered the Palace, but as always he concluded it was a mystery.

Beyazid was resting on his throne, his 2 sons Selim and Ahmed where standing close to him. Ali was sure Ahmed was a would be 'adala one day, he had proven himself a able field commander. As Ali aproached the thone beyazid greeted him, he was gravely concerned about recent arrival of a Venetian diplomat, "hmmm, Venetians!" Ali thought, "what where the Venetians up to this time..."

Beyazid had conquered Morea not long ago, and it was a known fact, that the Venetians still held a grudge against the Turks. Ever since Great 'adala Mehmed II conquered The City of Men's Desire and constituted it as capital and trade center of the Osmanli empire, there had been trouble with the Venetians.

But now it seems the venetian, had come to their senses. The diplomat was offering to cede Ionia, and pay tribute as a sign of friendship to the great 'adala. After having discussed the situation for hours, Ahmed reminded us that Allah where with us and would grant us the power needed to crush the heretics, if they tried to deceive us. All agreed to his wisdom, and beyazid decided: the rest of the day, should be spend in the Harem. Allah be Praised!

Ionia ceded to the Osmanli Empire.

A gift of good intentions and faith from Venice towards the Ottoman Empire


Venice acknowledges the ottoman demands for Ionian, we find it logical and sensible for the ottoman to receive that island connected to the main land. We offer that island as a tribute to the all mighty Sultan and ask that in return for that fine tribute the ottoman empire will recognize Venice as an independent country and will grant us a cease fire and a guarantee of a 50 years peace treaty, in return Venice will respect Ottoman claims for Ionian and for military access across Venice.

So, in return for our very intriguing proposal and as a sign of good faith between the two Mediterranean navy powers I here by declare Ionian as Ottoman in return we ask the Sultan to promise us a 50 years of cease fire and our Independence guaranteed.

To this broadcast message sent to all the fair powers of Europe came into signing:

Agostino Barbango- doge of Venice

Emnuale III- Master of trade and economy, minister of treasury

Al Granciona – Minister of arms

Grosplo rochela – prime minister

Signed Beyazid II,
'adala of the Osmanli Empire
Iman of Islam
Roman Caesar of the East
Overlord of Serbia
Magistrate of Wallachia

 

[Adam B.]

After long talks threats and insults from and to the French crown; we have finally come to an agreement about the Calais issue.

The English do not want to stay involved in european politics any longer; they will concentrate on the scottish; for they are our main enemy; without the scottish, we have our own mighty and proud island.

The French however, wanted to sabotage this plan; and supply the scottish with French grain, weapons and manpower, this was a direct insult to the English crown.

The English ambassador was mad, furious even; but then the French said they would accept our supremacy and claims on the island; if we are to surrender calais.

This was offcourse a good deal, for we didn't want to be involved in the mainland anyway, so this deal was signed:

The Pact of Amiens​

Henry VII of England renounces all her claims on Calais, and cedes this grand French city to Charles VIII of France.

In return; Charles VIII gives the English a free hand in scotland.​

Signed,

Henry VII of England and Ireland.

The Polish King has one short comment:

When people accuse Poland of being aggressive and only interested in glory for itself, let the world remember the deeds of Sigismund I Stary, Ostrogski, and the men of Poland who fought and died for Germans on German soil! Let them remember August, 1518, when Poles assaulted the fortress in Küstrin, and saved Brandenburg from annihilation by the other German powers. Let them remember these deeds and let them cry out, "Viva la Polska!"

(yeah, it's French, i know...)

We all express our solidarity to Bra. in Any Case Poland is still guilty of greed and opression.

Oppression of whom?! You are the one who so blatantly violated our treaty and who then oppressed the people of the Golden Horde. You are the aggressive one, I am the savior of the Germans.

The uniting of Italy

And then it came to time when the Doge of Venice was seated in Veneto the palace, the city of the lights, where hundreds of rivers cross, creating this wonderful city of eternal beauty, controlling lands and territories that reach from the Mediterranean until- THE Mediterranean. As the Doge set at the palace, servants and army generals near bye to complete any mere wish he started thinking of what he had done in the past 27 years.


He called forwards his army general, the first in command, the best he had ever had, some say he is even better then him- but they don’t live to repeat it. The general rushed to the king, kneeling and kissing his feet three times: “Sir, can I help you? He asked in a very confident voice, he knew he can help me, he was sure of his own abilities.
“Yes, you have done well, you have done greatly leading this country while I was ill, and making it the wonderful power it became to be, for this I am forever grateful ”he bowed again “My lord, my life quest is to serve you sire” he said in the humble voice.
“I wish to grant you absolute power, immense control and a great reward for what you have done in the first 15 odds years, but first you must say it yourself, what had happened in your very own point of view?”
“Sire, I vassalised Mantua, not rising our reputation to a bad scale, I’ve taken control of the Genoese Island and helped our Austrian ally to annex Liguria, promising by that immense power and wealth. Sir, I’ve liberated the now free provinces of the pope who dared settle in our Italy! And most important my lord, even more important then any other things, I gave Inions to the Ottomans, by that assuring great relationships in the future and the seeds for a true bound of friendship. I’ve built your navy forces so big that now only the support limit is a burden, we control the Mediterranean sire, we can travel without the fear of any pirates attacks” he said and bowed again.
“Kneel down my son” as he did I took my sword and in two quick swings his head was off, bleeding on the royal carpet, while doing so I heard only one question, “Why?”. You do not become the Doge of Venice if you don’t annihilate potential threats. He was too dangerous, too good, even better then I, that is not allowed here in this kingdom, he was a good soldier until he started thinking for himself- and let that be a sign to all you free thinkers, I though. Where the hell are the servants when you need them? I clept my hands twice, “not again” they mumbled as they saw the body and the stains, they were quick to clean, very quick indeed. As I did that remorse starting pinching my heart, he was a good man, the best there was- too good indeed.
“Fetch me my armor and sword we are going to France” and by that I exited the room, leading an army of 40 thousand men into battle, capturing Emilia and liberating the city of our alliance the Genoese capital, then I landing at France land, capturing Provence.

It was a great year for Venice, for Italy for me, now I only fear the revenge of the general’s brother, it he said he is the one to lead the Mughal tribes, far away from here...

The English Tales of Trade.​

Internal and external policies.
Calais, our last city in mainland europe, has been sold to the French; The Franch who had been our enemy's for too long, so long that our rescourses were stretched and our country's ruined. England has gone into isolation, To rebuild our mighty country upon the ruins of the previous kings; only interested in claiming France, but not in our glorious mainland.

Trade
The rebuilding of England has begun; Refineries have been build all over the country, this was a hard task, especially because the internal stability hampered our trading skills.

1.5 D/ month was our trading income at some point, very pathetic for the trading nation we are, but with each refinery we build; for the prize of +-700 Ducats and a little inflation, our trade income went up.

Our bankers have been very proud of our latest Trade income, 6.5 D/month. We had almost *6'ed our trade income; and we were moving onwards.

Religion
We are stunned by the sheer explosions of various religions in europe; already have we heard that the scottish are displeased with protestantism and catholisism; yearning for a more structured society, our ample colonies are also very diverse in religion, because of that the king has decided to hamper their growth a bit; before they become bastions of religion and decide to break away too quickly.

The Osmanli Empire 1492-1520​

The Phoenix of Arabia, companion of the 'adala​

Ottoman Light Cavalery​

The Wars for Turkish Supremacy 1492-1499​

In early 1492, A treaty was signed between Grand Vizier Ali Pasha and the Venetians. Having seen the strengh of the Osmanli army proven in the glorius victory of 1492. The Venetians accepted to cede the island of Ionia, as they recoqnised the Osmanli claims on it. Only days after, Osmanli troops arrived, and secured the island.

The Grand Vizier kept impressing the 'adala. As a rebellion broke out in kurdish Dukladir, he send general Ahmed in. He swiftly crushed all rebels, unfortunatly the capital was razed and since there was no goverment left, Dukladir was accepted into the Osmanli Empire.

Enraged by the annexation of Dukladir, the pityful wrong beleivers in Persia began rattling their sabres. Quickly forced where dispatched to the Persian border, but as Beyazid was looking into persia it Ismail had begun retreating. Hence a attack on Georgien was ordered as they had refused to accept the Sultan as overlord of the black sea. The Sultan invaded Georgia and it feel within days, unfortunately the mongol hordes of astrakhan decided this would be their time of glory and invaded georgia just as peace was about to be settled. The Sultan could do nothing else, but send in the famous Ottoman tiger troops, 2 months all of the hordes where burning. Seeing how allah was with the sublime porte, they accepted beyazid II as the one true leader of islam.

The Last Years of beyazid II: 1499-1512
​

All true belivers rejoice, as the Sultan returns home​

Having acheived great succes as Sultan, Beyazid stated converting the newly conquered lands to the one true faith. At first he had a lot of succes, several new lands accepted the teachings of Allah. unfortunatly albania, morea, and smyrnia proved harder, hence several rebellions had to be put down. In Beyazid's last years, he spent most of his time promoting new goverment officials, and ensuring that corruption was kept at a minimum.

In 1512, Beyazid II died mysteriously... and the struggle between the sons, Ahmed and Selim began, who should be the next sultan? But while Ahmed was away, Selim had managed to turn the Janissaries on him, after a battle outside Istanbul, ahmed was defeated. Selim returned to the city and took the title of 'adala. All hailed Selim I.

The Sultan becomes Khalifa: 1512-1515
​

Selim I, 'adala of the Osmanli Empire​

Only months after having assumed the title of Sultan, Selim I began preparations to crush the mameluks. Disgusted by the attempt to convert good sunni's into shiites, Selim launched an attacked on the mameluks in 1512.

Knowing that all true sunni's wouldn't fight the Ottoman liberators. He quickly reached Egypt. He began an assault on the capital, and within months it fell. Securing the capital proved to be a disasterous blow to the mameluks, within months the whole empire crumbled, and accepted Selim I as their Sultan.

Returning Victorius from Egypt, he announced himself to be the Khalifa - The Guardian of Islam!

The Shiite War: 1515-1518
​

The annexation of the mameluks, did not go unnoticed in Persia, The shah was so enraged, he ordered all able men to arms. With the pitiful wrong beleivers in Persia rattling their sabres again. The Sultan invaded Persia, demanding all of Kurdistan as compensation. Ismail rejected the demands and war raged back and forth. After some major fighting, the shiites where defeated, and accepted Ottoman supremacy of the Middle east. The peace terms included Oman embrassing the one true faith as state religion. It was a great victory, all Glory to the Iman, Allah be praised!!

The Death of a Great Sultan: 1518-1520
​

During the war, a rebellion had struck Anatolia. The rebellion was seriously threatening Ottoman authority in Anatolia, and unfortunately before Selim could reach Anatolia. The Grand vizier Ali Pasha, was killed in battle against rebels. Enraged by this Selim I, took a large cavalery detachment and charged in, to rout the rebelles. But unfortunately he was killed in battle. It was a honorable death, to die in battle is no shame, Selim I and Ali Pasha will allways be remembered....

[Sterkarm]

Polish discussions with the Russians have failed. We offered them Ufa and Samara for Smolensk, Kursk, Vorones, and Bogutjar (territory taken from Lithuania) and also a peace. However, the Russians simply spit in our face, insult our country (US and Poland), and head off to do some warmongering. We respect the Russians' ally, Sweden, and now that the Russians have stopped all reasonable diplomacy, we ask that the Swedes realize what is going on, as a new, utterly dominant Russia is rising.
