No matter what, Garygur Sultan survived. However, considering that he had lead poisoning in his left arm, Marin thought about it and decided to send someone to send a letter to Italy to transfer, inform Egypt to send alcohol extracted from liquor, and teach the Egyptian court doctor to boil gauze in boiling water to avoid infection and death after amputation.
You should know that medicine is extremely backward in this era and does not pay attention to disinfection at all. Even if Garygul is a sultan, the possibility of infection after amputation is extremely high. Once infected, it will be a life-threatening death.
So Marin quickly asked someone to release the pigeon and notify the spies from Italy. Then the Italian side used the pigeon to notify the spies from Egypt to avoid accidental infection during amputation.
But two days later, the Egyptian response had not been sent back, but another bad news was sent back - Türkiye's Sultan Selim I deliberately released the captured 20,000 Mamluk cavalry...
Originally, after the defeat of more than 50,000 Mamluk cavalry, Garygul could not escape with the remaining 14,000 cavalry of the Mamluk feudal lord. The 20,000 cavalry of the Mamluk feudal lord was deliberately abandoned by Garygul.
After being abandoned, the 20,000 feudal lords were also very unconventional and surrendered to the Turks without any resistance. Originally, Selim I planned to detain these people. However, the ministers familiar with the internal situation of the Mamluk dynasty suggested that he let go of these cavalry belonging to the Mamluk feudal lords...
Because he only brought back the cavalry of his headquarters when he could not escape, despite the loss of national strength, Gary Gur's rule could become more stable in the future. Because no one had the strength to challenge him.
If Garygur Sultan was given enough time, he might be able to clear out the opposition in the country and complete the true unification of the Mamluk dynasty. By then, the Mamluk dynasty's strength may not be very poor.
However, Selim I broke Garygul's wishful thinking with this hand...
After the 20,000 Mamluk cavalry who were subordinate to the feudal lords returned, Garygul's strength not only no longer prevailed, but would instead fall at a disadvantage.
Of course, because these cavalry belong to multiple feudal lords, these feudal lords could not have an advantage over Gary Gul. However, Gary Gul could not suppress those feudal lords...
In other words, from then on, the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt will be in a chaotic period of internal power struggles for a long time, and it will be difficult to pose a threat to Türkiye. Then, Türkiye will be able to free up its hands to concentrate on dealing with Persia...
"This is really bad news!" Marin rubbed her temples, feeling a headache and depressed.
Originally, Marin planned to suppress the rise of Turkey through the joint efforts of Persia and Egypt. However, now, the Egyptians have collapsed. Although they have not been eliminated, they have lost half of their lives.
As for Persia, although it was not seriously injured in the last war, it lost its strength...
What is sharpness? Sharpness is morale! Before the war with Turkey, the Persians were proud, just like their Shah Ismayi I. Because they had never suffered a defeat, the morale of the Persian army was very high. When facing the enemy, the Persian army maintained strong self-confidence and morale. Even if they were not as strong as their opponents, they could defeat their opponents!
Just like in the early Tang Dynasty, because the Tang army established extremely strong self-confidence after destroying the Turks, Xi Junmai dared to use 120 cavalry to defeat ten thousand enemy troops...
Did Xi Jun buy a cheat? Or did his 120 cavalrymen take one to make a hundred? None of them, but because the Tang army was invincible in various battles in the early Tang Dynasty, the Tang army soldiers became extremely confident. However, their opponents were naturally a little afraid of the Tang army's reputation. Therefore, this led to Xi Jun's amazing deeds of buying 120 cavalry to defeat ten thousand enemies.
Similarly, after the last battle between Turkey and Persia, although Persian strength was not greatly lost, the confidence of the Persian army was severely hit. Since that battle, the Persian army, including their monarch Ismay I, no longer believed that they were "invincible".
On the contrary, Turkey established the same strong confidence as the army in the early Tang Dynasty through two major decisive battles with Persia and Egypt. It can be said that when the Turkish army and the Persian army encounter in the future, Persia may not even dare to take the initiative to attack. Unless it has a great advantage, otherwise it will only take a defensive...
This is war! Once a country's army encounters a crushing defeat or a big victory, it will have a great impact on the morale of the army!
War has never been a comparison of digital strength! Only those unscrupulous arms dealers will one-sidedly exaggerate the role of weapons and equipment. In fact, weapons and equipment cannot determine success or failure! Just like when the Eight-Nation Alliance of Wanqing invaded China, they opened the fleeing Qing army arsenal and found that the Qing army's weapons were very advanced...
However, because of the repeated defeats over the past decades, and the serious problems in the discipline and training of the Qing army, machine guns and Krupp cannons were not enough to defeat mixed miscellaneous armies such as the Eight-Nation Alliance.
Not to mention war, even football is the same. Because of the frequent loss to the South Korean team, the national football team in later generations suffered from the inexplicable "HK fear". As soon as they came on the court, they naturally lost their morale and confidence in the South Korean team. Where can they win?
Therefore, although Persia's national strength is still there and Egypt has not collapsed, the threat to Turkey is no longer great. Because Turkey has already shown great confidence and its combat effectiveness is extremely effective. Egypt and Persia have long lost confidence. When they meet the Turks again, the fighting spirit is very problematic.
If Egypt had not lost this battle, the two countries might have been able to turn the tables. But in this war, Egypt was defeated too badly. Sultan of Garygur and his allies lost more than half of the Mamluk cavalry, while Garygur's opposition did not suffer much loss and was sent back to prisoners by the Turks. In the future, it would be difficult for Egypt to threaten Turkey again...

However, Marin did not expect Egypt to overthrow Türkiye. What Marin asked was that the Turks would not go south to control Jerusalem and Egypt.
Needless to say, Jerusalem is a holy city shared by Christianity and the Green Church. If Turkey takes over this city, morale and prestige will probably be overwhelmed. However, Europe will be greatly affected. After all, if the holy city is taken over by the Turks, European people's spirit will also be affected. As one rises and the other falls, the Turks will become more arrogant.
In addition, Egypt is also very important. If Turkey takes over it, it will not only cause a heavy blow to Venice, but it will also make Spain and Portugal even more invincible. Venice is an important piece used by Marin to restrain Spain and cannot be defeated by Türkiye.
In addition, with Egypt, a granary that is more important than Syria, Türkiye will want to fight in the future. After all, the agricultural areas in the Nile River Basin are not built...
In history, Türkiye had only had its super powerful tyrannical ability after annexed Egypt...
Before annexing Egypt, Türkiye sent troops to fight, and could only send an army of 60,000 to 100,000 people. However, after annexing Türkiye, when it attacked Europe, it would send an army of 200,000 to 300,000 at every turn...
According to information, Turkey's population is about 11 million, including millions of Slavs on the Balkans.
However, the Slavs on the Balkans could not provide Turkey with a large amount of cavalry, but could only provide Turkey with 10,000 to 20,000 infantry, including musketeers and artillery. Although these European infantry were of great importance in war, the number was not large.
At this time, the Mamluk Dynasty, according to what the spies lurking in Cairo, had a population of about 5 million.
Among them, Egypt has 3 million people, the largest. The second largest is Syria, with 1.2 million people. Then, there are less than 300,000 people in the Lebanon region, less than 200,000 people in the mountainous region of Jordan, more than 100,000 people in the Palestinian region, and many people in Libya and the Hanzhi region.
But now, the Syrian region has basically fallen into the hands of Türkiye. Most of the Lebanon region has also fallen into the hands of Turkey, and only the southern mountainous area is still under the control of the Mamluk Dynasty.
In other words, the Turks suddenly increased by 1400,000 people. For the 16th century, when population was productivity, it was definitely a significant increase in national strength.
Moreover, the Arabs are different from the Slavic farmers in the Balkans. There are many Arab herders, while many herders go on horseback and pick up scimitars to be soldiers. Therefore, although most parts of Syria and Lebanon only bring 1400,000 to Turkey, the source of troops they may bring is even better than the millions of Slavs in the Balkans...
For example, in the Syrian region, in the previous Dabik Grassland Battle, the Mamluk Dynasty provided 20,000 minions. Now, these people are all returned to Turkey...
As one goes up and down, Türkiye naturally has greatly enhanced. The Mamluk Dynasty in Egypt lost nearly one-third of its population, and Syria, a money cow with developed agriculture and commerce.
In addition, Selim I sinisterly released all the captured Mamluk feudal lords cavalry back, and in the future, there will definitely be a lot of trouble within Egypt. Not to mention being able to fight against Turkey, being able to defend its current territory is a big problem...
