Unification of Anatolia ( 01/03/78 - 04/04 /78 )

After the collapse of the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum in the second half of the middle century, many small Turkic kingdoms emerged. until finally the Turkiye Stratocracy stood and dominated the Anatolian plains. The surviving beyliks were Karaman (one of the beyliks that had great influence in Anatolia as well as Turkiye's sworn enemy at that time), Isfandirids on the northern shore of the Black Sea, and Dulkadir in Cilicia which at that time became a vassal state of the Mamluk sultanate. 

Anatolian States during years 78 of Turkiye Calendar. 

Zaganos Pasha wanted to unify all the small kingdoms that were still divided. with the ambition of establishing a large Turkiye Stratocracy. To secure his military operations, on the 14th of the month of Tencere, 78 of the Turkiye calendar, Zaganos dispatched Tughril Mahmut Pasha to the Mamluk Sultanate to strengthen political, trade relations and forge military alliances. through the relationship between the two countries Zaganos Pasha succeeded in obtaining the legality of the official stamp of the Abbasid Caliph, Al - Muttawakil II, so that the Turkiye Stratocracy has a strong influence in the Islamic world. thus, the zaganos pasha could freely carry out his military operations in Anatolia without having to deal with the Cairo Government. and cut off the beyliks' only attempt to ally with the Mamluks in the face of threats from the Zaganos Pasha's forces.

Mamlukes Sultanate. 

At the beginning of the month of Raki, Zaganos Pasha started his military operations in Anatolia, bringing with him 80,000 Troops, and 250 ships, under the command of Yakup Pasha, and Kasim Pasha ( Governor of Balta ). His first target in this operation was the city of Amasra which was under the Genoese colony. This city was the trading center of the Genoese in the Black Sea region. but because the majority of people in this city were merchants, and did not care about who ruled their city as long as it did not disturb their property and honor, they agreed to open the city's gate. Zaganos Pasha managed to conquer it without war.

on the other hand, knowing the movements of the Zaganos troops, Kemâleddin Ismâil Bey the ruler of Isfandirid fled to Sinope, the capital of his government. Though relieved by Amasra's downfall, learns that Zaganos' military operations are not going towards his country. but he remained vigilant by preparing war fleets, standby troops, and cannons. it is known that Sinope's army numbered 12,000 soldiers, who were reinforced with 400 cannon. The Isfandirids, in this case, were the first to adopt Cannon technology, before the Turkiye Stratocracy. they are said to also have a strong navy. 

to prevent bloodshed among his soldiers, Zaganos Pasha tried to trick Ismail Bey. he sent Ishaq Pasha as his emissary to Sinope, informing Ismail Bey that the Turkiye military operations were directed at the Trebizond, not the Isfandirids, to prevent misunderstandings between the two sides. Ishaq Pasha succeeded in convincing Ismail that the Turkiye military operation would not threaten the sovereignty of his country. he was greatly relieved by it. in order to satisfy the zaganos, Ismail agreed to help by sending 6000 of his best troops under the command of his son, Kızıl Ahmed Bey. to assist the Turkiye campaign to conquer trebizond.

Isfandirids Beyliks Flag

At the same time, Zaganos Pasha decided to change his route from the shores of the Black Sea, towards Ankara, this was done so that Ismail bey would appear to be sure that the Turkiye troop movements were indeed directed towards Trebizond. as said by Ishaq Pasha. not long after, came Ishaq Pasha with an entourage of 6000 Isfandirids troops led by ahmet bey in Ankara. but immediately, zaganos pasha ordered his janissaries to arrest the party. (including Ahmet Bey). Zaganos Pasha apparently wanted to take them hostage, to threaten Ismail into surrendering his city, as well as reduce the number of isfandirids soldiers defending the city of Sinope.

11 days later, on the 12th, Zaganos arrived in front of the city gates of Sinope, giving Ismail Bey an ultimatum to surrender. On the other hand, the Turkish fleet had laid siege to the port of Sinope at an inopportune moment. because their fleet was not prepared beforehand. in an emergency like this, it was impossible for Ismail to put up a fight, he immediately surrendered and gave his city to Zaganos. thus, the Isfandirids region merged into the Turkiye Stratocracy. in return for surrendering their city, Zaganos bestowed the titles of Pasha Kemâleddin Ismâil, and Kızıl Ahmed. Ismail was given command over the towns of Inegol, Yenisehir and Yarhisar. while his son, Ahmet, is the governor of Bolu City.

Zaganos Pasha managed to conquer Amasra and Sinope without losing a single troop. his final target this time was the Trebizond Empire. The background to the founding of this empire was formed from the fall of Constantinople by the Latin Crusaders about 250 years ago. divided Byzantium into small kingdoms in Sud and Anatolia. a member of the Byzantine family, Alexios Komnenos fled to this city which later established this empire for generations.

This city was battered by the Seljuk Rum sultanate, led by Ghiyatsuddin and Allaudin Kaykubat. despite defeating its army, the Sultanate was unable to conquer the city and could only enforce the annual tribute that was paid to maintain its sovereignty. Trebizond also frequently entered into defensive alliances with the neighboring Turkomans, by marriage. like Ak koyunlu. Emperor David Komnenos married his daughter Despina Hatun to Uzun Hassan, ruler of Ak Koyunlu.

in order to break the alliance between Ak Koyunlu and Trebizond, Zaganos Pasha decided to move towards Sivas. then encamped at Erzincan, which became a border town between Turkiye and Ak Koyunlu. Zaganos wanted to make sure Ak Koyunlu wouldn't become a stabbing dagger when he launched his military operations against Trebizond. Uzun Hassan thought that the Turkiye military operation was directed at him, became very frightened. he decided to negotiate with Zaganos by sending his delegation accompanied by his mother, Sara Hatun to Erzincan.Zaganos Pasha respected her so much that he called her Mother ( ana ). an agreement was agreed upon in which clause, Ak koyunlu promised not to militarily assist Trebizond when Turkiye besieged the city. thus, Zaganos succeeded in severing the ties of the Trebizond Ak Koyunlu defensive alliance. but as a guarantee that Uzun Hassan kept his promise to the end, he decided to keep Sara Hatun's delegation and sent a letter to Uzun, that he promised to release the delegation after the conquest of the city of trebizond was completed. 

Ak Koyunlu States

Zaganos Pasha divided his army on its way to trebizond into two directions. he himself moved with his 40,000 troops from the direction of Erzincan, while another 40,000 troops under the command of Hizir Pasha moved from the shores of the black sea. Naval troops under the command of Kasim Pasha and Yakup Pasha move across the Black Sea. their troops first arrived at trebizond port on the 16th. by landing 30,000 troops accompanied by 2 ballista cannons. 2 days later, Hizir Pasha's army arrived at trebizond by west. the zaganos troops arrived too late, due to the steep terrain, and dense trees that prevented troop mobilization.

the siege of Trebizond lasted 34 consecutive days. Turkiye troops continued to bombard the city walls with cannons, causing serious damage to the fortifications. but the Turkiye troops had yet to launch a general attack. David Komnenos realized that his city would not be able to withstand the siege any longer. he sent his delegation, Amiroutsez to reason with the zaganos, that Trebizond would be willing to pay the annual tribute, even marry the emperor's daughter, Hanna Hatun. however Zaganos rejected all of the offers. he only asked Trebizond to surrender voluntarily.

wall fortifications in Trebizond. 

on the 4th, the month of Seker, as a result of successive shelling from the Turkiye cannons, some of the city walls began to crumble and opened many gaps. David Komnenos decided to immediately surrender to Zaganos. the surrender of Trebizond ended the reign of the komnenos dynasty that ruled the city for 261 years. Zaganos Pasha entered the city in triumph, then converted one of the churches there ( Chrysokephalos ) into a mosque. and according to what was agreed, Zaganos Pasha released Delegation Sara Hatun while giving gifts in the form of souvenirs and abundant possessions to Sara Hatun, as well as gifts to Uzun Hassan. after the conquest of Trebizond, Zaganos Pasha decided to marry Emperor David's daughter, Anna Hatun whom he had turned down in her offers during the siege. in exchange for guaranteeing security for members of his family dynasty. according to Tursun beg, Zaganos pasha celebrated his wedding with the pashas and soldiers at Trebizond for 3 days, while inviting his new wife to have their honeymoon together.

Historical Practices in Treasury Management

The tradition of sealing Treasury doors was believed to have persisted until the time of Sultan Murat II.

Importance of Treasury Register Books

During Sultan Mehmet IV’s reign, significant emphasis was placed on Treasury register books. This focus stemmed from a notable incident following the death of Superintendent of the Treasury, Mermer Mehmet Pasha, who had been promoted to the Kubbealti vizierate. A substantial quantity of jewels and valuable goods belonging to the Treasury were discovered among his possessions.

Rise of Heritage Seizing

The practice of seizing heritage became more common from 1679 A.D., eventually becoming a primary source of income for the Imperial Treasury. However, Sultan Mahmut II later abolished this practice Private Istanbul Tours.

Distinction Between Heritage and Confiscation

While both heritage seizure and confiscation contributed to the Treasury’s income, they differed in nature. Heritage seizure involved acquiring the property of individuals who died naturally, whereas confiscation targeted the assets of individuals like Vizier Hasan, who had been executed.

Contributions from Foreign Envoys

During Sultan Mehmet IV’s reign, gifts from foreign envoys significantly enriched the Treasury. For instance, the French envoy presented ninety purses of jewelry and thirty purses of assorted gifts, while the envoy from the Tsar in Moscow arrived with one thousand one hundred ninety-eight sable furs and various other items.

Tradition of Gifting to the Treasury

Gifts presented to the Sultan by the Valide Sultan (queen mother), the Grand Vizier, and other high-ranking officials as tokens of congratulations were also directed to the Imperial Treasury, continuing a longstanding tradition within the empire.

But are you reading Shoukoku no Altair?

As the nerd who spends way too much time while translating Yume no Shizuku, Kin no Torikago, I wanted to make a post on my first "Ottoman" manga: Shoukoku no Altair.

Left: A real-life Mahmut (Ottoman Sultan, Mahmut II). Right: Japanese Mahmut. I know that Altair has nothing to with his time period, but I can't help but think about Mahmut II everytime I hear the name "Mahmut". He's such a boss. So in my mind, a Mahmut can never be as bishounen as Tughril Mahmut.

I first saw that manga in the dark corners of LiveJournal years ago, at a time when there weren't even scanlations. And I LOVED the art. But back then, due to the lack of scans and because I couldn't even read the Japanese title, I forgot about it for years. Yes, I do have a very bad memory.

Fast forward to 2017, Shoukoku no Altair got an anime adaptation. And when was I going to start reading this Ottoman-inspired manga if not now? Like I did with DoD, I expected it to be an orientalist trainwreck. But little did I know that Katou Kotono had a degree in history and the more I got into Altair, the more I would be crying about how ignorant I was. I quickly caught up with the story. And boy, did I love it! (The anime adaptation doesn't do this manga justice. And I'm still mad that they skipped an entire sea battle.)

Published SnA volumes, minus the latest vol. 24, and the fanbook. Japan should bring SAL back already, I want to be able to buy my mangos without developing shipping strategies.

Warning for DoD fans, this is a full shounen manga. There is no shoujo romance to see here (I'm still mad at the editors for forcing that dancer girl in the story in the earlier volumes because a shounen manga had to have a female love interest. I'm glad we didn't get to see her again and if anything, not-Vlad the Impaler's cute daughter would make a better waifu for a pasha like Mahmut). It's about the wars between the not-Ottomans and the not-Holy Roman Empire, complete with some Italian city-state drama. It only has battles, politics and keikakus. Huge armies maneuver in battle, alliances are made and broken, heads fly, armies clash, cities are besieged, we peek at the logistics behind huge armies, and civil war and coup d'états can happen any moment! If you are in DoD for politics, I'm sure you will love Altair because it actually delivers in that department.

My little pasha can't be this smug. Vol. 20, and vol. 9's cover from the Milkazzar Altair art book (2014). Those volume covers have me screaming.

Unlike DoD, Altair is not a fully historical manga, so it's not based on real events nor there's a set time frame for it. But looking at the story elements, we can say that it's set somewhere around the second half of the 15th century. So it's somewhat close to DoD's time frame if we squeeze hard enough. I also think Burak Paşa, the "sultan" in Altair, kind of resembles to an old Suleiman I.

Every little detail in Altair is just chef's kiss! Katou-sensei has a vast knowledge of military tactics and uses it in every chapter of Altair. And huge kudos to Sense Scans and their translator, murakumo, who did a perfect job. Turkish written in kana hurts my brain, and I always check their scans before going "naruhodo!". Go check their Altair blog, it's awesome and has lots of info on the manga and you can find pretty manga artwork there. And after thanking them, go buy the manga in a language you can read, it's very likely licensed in yours.

Now my little inner fangirl will speak: Altair has the finest men and boys. You can't find this many bishounen even in 70s shoujo manga. Even if you don't care about all those battle tactics, you might care about all the bishies! Anyway have this very soft Bayezid to prove my point <3

Can you believe that this is the face of a murderer?

Let me also talk about the art in Shoukoku no Altair: It's gorgeous! That's all I can say. I legit spend minutes looking at the outfits and the accesories. Katou herself said that she was inspired by Turkish jewelry and created Altair. Check this Mahmut swag out:

Vol. 3's cover, scanned from the 2017 art book. I wish I knew how to process my images so that I could do sensei justice.

Shoukoku no Altair is licensed in English by Kodansha, and they are almost up-to-date with Japanese releases. Honestly the best timeline for reading Altair. Go read Altair while waiting for new DoD chapters.
