Chapter 320 Erzurum, blood flows into a river!
Testimation can be transliterated as Shehady, also known as Qing Zhenyan.
In Islamic faith, testimony is to distinguish between faith and unbelief.
According to the view of most Shariah jurists, whoever verbally pronounces testimony will be a Muslim, and there will be corresponding teachings.
In the Abu Hamzai Sumari prayer, Imam Sajad believed that even if he only recited testimony verbally, even if he did not admit it in his heart, it would be enough to protect people from harm.
It can be said that testimony is so important that it is enough to distinguish between enemies and us on the surface.
But at the same time, the threshold is so low that it can allow many people to get involved and strengthen their momentum.
When everyone who attended the meeting read it together according to Gerris' testimony, it achieved an effect similar to the blood alliance in ancient China.
"I testify that all things are not Lord, but Allah. I also testify that Gerris is the servant and messenger of Allah!"
"He was Erza's younger brother. He died a thousand years ago. He knew the secrets we did not know. Now he will lead us to build a new ark!"
"The ark is the new kingdom, and it belongs to the people. It will rise from the ashes, like a new dawn will come and illuminate all the nations."
After everyone finished reading in unison, their eyes on each other became much more friendly.
In other words, from now on, they have already been on the same boat.
Before the current crisis of Rom Sultan was resolved, everyone here had no way out.
Only under the leadership of Gerris, they may be able to make a journey of life and be safe.
Many times, such rituals are indeed needed. No matter how urgent the time is, this kind of behavior of boosting morale and changing concepts must be done.
Of course, after completing this step, Gerris did not immediately lead the people in the barracks to attack the Sultan mansion.
But I simply described to them my future plans so that they could understand Gerris’s ideas.
First of all, one thing to emphasize is that the Turks present still enjoy the right to grazle on this land.
This is an unscathed benefit of the Turkic tribes. At the same time, the grassland must be re-divided and the migration route that is most in line with the truth must be planned to maximize the extent of the truth.
Secondly, each tribe will begin to set up settlements, thereby reducing the various weather and frost in the nomads.
Geris will draw a series of technicians from Antioch to help these tribes complete the construction of settlements.
It is not only necessary to increase farmland output, but also to increase the yield of livestock, so as to double the number of herds of various tribes.
After the establishment of a settlement, a grassroots autonomous structure that conforms to Muslim traditions will be established based on the religious system.
In Jerusalem, there are already many sage scholars who originally belonged to the Hanefi school. Now they have recognized Gerris' identity and can be sent here to build a new mosque.
In addition, at a high level, judicial and political power must be independent, so as to facilitate the management of other religious believers in African Muslims in the new country.
Ultimately, according to Geris's goal, it is to build a new country near Erzurum that is separated from church and state, tolerance for faith, protection of private property, and encourage production reform.
Because this country will no longer obey the authority of the Roma Sultan, the rights of tax holders will be abolished locally.
Overall, whether it is the tax rate or the number of personnel recruited to serve, it will be reduced compared to before.
It can benefit the entire rule of the original Saltukibey dynasty.
Although this future will theoretically damage the privileges of the Turkic tribes present, in the face of the crisis of life and death, they will prioritize their own survival issues.
And the technical assistance promised by Gerris and fixed trade exchanges can make up for the tribe's own losses.
Then regarding the development of productivity, the Turkic tribes faced the shortage of supplies and needed to go out to rob.
Geris also gave an answer.
Jerusalem is currently facing a war crisis, and is currently competing with Egypt.
Therefore, the Kingdom of Jerusalem can provide a large number of mercenary positions.
After listening to Garys' description, the representatives of the Turkic tribes present improved a lot one after another.
If Gerris just showed them the opportunity to survive before, then Gerris now tells them how good they can live in the future.
This is no longer just hope in desperate situations, but a bright future awaits them.
As long as you can survive today's day, everything will be easy to say...
Under Garys's operation, the morale of the people in the conference room increased significantly.
As one of the organizers of the conference, Ottoman also summed up at this time: "Everyone, go back and prepare for publicity and mobilization! We don't have much time."
"I don't understand any other principles. I only know that if we lose, it is rebellion. If we win, it is called liberation!"
"Yes!"
...
...
The current Rom Sultan Suleiman II was breathing heavily, and a panic surged into his heart. He realized that he was in a dangerous situation.
As the son of Killijer Arslan II, Suleiman II has a much sharper sense of crisis than ordinary people.
After all, his father is too abstract.
Killie Jarslan II's lifelong achievements were actually quite good. He not only seized a large area of land from the Eastern Empire, but also reached a peaceful agreement with the Eastern Empire.
Because of this timeline, Barbarossa did not choose to cross Anatolia by land, he also avoided the dilemma of being captured by Barbarossa.
However, out of some family concept, coupled with the fact that Kilijah Arslan II began to feel tired of life due to paralysis.
So he distributed his country to his eleven sons...
And then, the official start of the Anatolia Rom Chicken Eating Competition, and Kilijah Arslan II himself became victims of the power struggle during this period.
In the end, Suleiman II won the Chicken Eat Competition and killed it from the brothers.
As the winner of the chicken-eating competition, Suleiman II naturally has something extraordinary.
For example, he not only arranged an open shift change system for day and night in prison where Aladdin Bey was imprisoned, but also prepared manpower to patrol at different times and report the situation to him personally.
So, before dawn came, he was awakened by his close servant's bed and informed him of the inhumane massacre near the dungeon.
Sureman II, who was originally sleepy, woke up instantly when he heard the news of Aladdin's escape. "You mean, those people are dead?!" "Yes, yes, adults, everyone has their necks cut or their heads cut off. According to the investigation of people around them, no one heard strange movements." "Then, how many people are there?"
"Eighteen."
Sulaiman II gasped, eighteen! Those are eighteen people! Just disappeared quietly?
Then the one who was rescued was Aladdin Bey, who was most worried about.
It can be imagined that it won’t take much time for that Bey to organize the men in Erzurum to launch an attack on himself!
Even if you don’t come directly to attack, you can still seize the city gate and let the Georgian army outside the city enter the city.
What should I do now?
Even though the Sultan now has thousands of defending troops in his hands, he has the advantage in the city.
On the contrary, since Erzurum City is the old nest of Aladdinbey who has been running for generations, between him and Aladdinbey, he is also a slap in the fight against the wolf - both ends are afraid!
When I thought that I was in danger, Sultan Suleiman made a quick decision and asked the close servants who had heard the news to start mobilizing their guards to strengthen the defense of the Sultan's mansion.
Then he sent a messenger to inform some of his own credible troops in the city, Emir, and asked the other party to immediately encircle and suppress Aladdinbey's direct troops.

He now doesn't care whether the civil strife in the city will bring opportunities for the Georgians to siege the city, but is eager to exterminate the danger in the cradle.
Not only that, after thinking for a long time, Sultan Suleiman chose to grit his teeth and quickly pack up his things, let his servants find ordinary people's clothes for him, and prepare to leave the city.
Now that Georgian troops have surrounded three and one missing one, they still have left the West and have not surrounded them, just to deliberately let the Turks in the city flee.
After all, the Georgians just hope to take down the city as soon as possible, and do not intend to fight to the death with the Turks here.
…
In autumn, September, in the first half of the night in Erzurum, only gloomy clouds blocked the bright moon.
When the dawn is coming, the darkest moment before the dawn comes.
The drizzle drizzle was like needles and threads falling on the city of Erzurum.
The rain poured down with the cold air from the plateau, forming a convection with the dry wind blowing from the Alarat Mountain in the distance, hitting people on the faces, making the pedestrians on the road shudder.
This damp mist poured into the arcades of the great market, causing the walls to be engulfed in the night.
The city of Christians in the past has now become the territory of the Turks.
Since Rom Sultan Suleiman II occupied Erzurum, the military and civilians in the city have been like birds in cages, and a curfew is completely carried out at night. However, tonight is unusual - the inner city gate, which should have been closed, was pushed open in the drizzle.
After a thunder, the rain became a little heavier.
Hundreds of guards wearing heavy armor, originally belonging to Aladdin Bey, entered one after another through the open city gates, and the sound of iron armor colliding and fighting boots stepping on the water echoed between the streets and alleys.
This army is not very crowded, and the Sudan army left behind in the city is 3,000. However, tonight, with the opening of the inner city, the balance of victory and defeat is quietly tilting. "Ataberg, thanks to your cooperation inside and outside, Sultan never expected that you would stand on our side!"
Ottoman, who was walking in the team, communicated with the people who opened the city gate under the escort of the soldiers on the side.
The affairs of the Rom Sultanate are so complicated, you have me and I have you.
Aladdin Bey would be imprisoned without any warning because of the betrayal of the people close to him. There were also many people with ill-heartedness around Suleiman Sultan.
After all, you must know that Suleiman II came out of the other ten brothers, and his troops were already mixed.
With the connection between Gerris, Ottoman and others, a net of heaven and earth that was even bigger than Suleiman expected had already sprinkled on him.
Ataberg did not greet him for too long, but looked at the sky and whispered: "Perform, the night rain will not last too long, we must fight and decide quickly."
It's not just on the inner city, but the gate suddenly opened, in another military camp.
A group of nobles and officials stationed here are immersed in the banquet.
Although there are Georgian troops outside the city, for many people, life is a day of life no matter what.
Even if you die tomorrow, today will be singing, running, dancing, and living a life of drunkenness and dreams.
The curfew established by Suleiman Sultan is naturally a strong constraint for ordinary people, but when facing these Emir groups second only to Sudan, it seems to be useless.
Especially in the second half of the night, when dawn was about to dawn, Sudan was asleep and would not come out to check the posts. It was the best time for these people to relieve the pressure in their hearts.
The leading Emil toasted everyone on the field, which was just at this time.
A messenger suddenly broke in outside the hall.
Before Emir attack, I heard the man shouting loudly: "Irhaz Emir! No! No! Aladdinbey escaped! Now the Sudan urgently ordered you to organize manpower and start blocking the city streets!"
The wine glass in Irhaz shook and his face turned pale.
It was at this moment that in the dark night, weapons broke through the air, screams mixed with the neighing of horses!
Outside the house, blood splattered all over the stone slab street, many soldiers were already riding horses and holding sword blades, and rushed into the camp!
A bloody battle is breaking out.
Faced with such a critical moment, Irhaz was unaware of his own energy to organize the troops in his military camp to resist the opponent's attack.
There is no way to tell how many people are attacking themselves, so naturally they have no ability to draw personnel to the martial law city of Erzurum.
And another location in the city.
After thinking that the emirs under his command are not reliable, Erzurum is Aladdinbey's lair again.
Sureman II left the city lord's mansion with strict garrison, turned his head and started moving towards the west gate under the escort of dozens of his most trusted people.
The sudden shouts and shouts from afar confirmed his speculation.
The robbery of Aladdin Bey was not an accident, but had a premeditation.
And just when he was glad that he could dodge a piece.
As the city of Erzurum was about to flow into a river, he saw a man in a robe standing at the intersection at the end of the road, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Behind that man, in the rain and mist, there seemed to be many people standing there.
Obviously, Suleiman had a bloody battle waiting for him a day before he escaped.
