Quoting thehandsom

 

 

You reminded me one of the early threads I wrote  some times ago here Upsy Daisy

http://www.turkishclass.com/forumTitle_28994

I think Janissaries  was the best army of  the time  at the beginning..

But the corruption came later on.

Muslims were not accepted at the start but it was a kind of nice job, so the muslim rulers (pashas vezirs etc)  started to put their own people into janissary units..

 

Anyway..

I am glad you are out of the safety of the chat room and see you more around here

 

 

 

 

 

 Safety of the chat room?  That is debatable!

This is just to let you know that I´ll be giving you the pleasure (or pain?) of seeing me more around here... (but you´ll have no right of complainig about it... <img src='/static/images/smileys//lol.gif' alt='lol'> 

From now on I´ll be more here than enjoying the "safety" of the chat room. I used the word "safety" just because you used it...It is not safety (but insecure) especially when you join in and you join very often! Big smile

Just a litte info; Ottoman army´s hitting power in battles was always "Týmarlý Sipahi"s who were light cavaliers and those were defending right & left wing of the army as well as attacking. Janisseries´ and Kapýkulu soldiers´ duty was to protect Sultan. Kapýkulu soldiers at first decided to be chosen among "devsirme"s but since they were not good at horse-riding, all were started to be chosen among Turkmens. And all Týmarlý Sipahis were Turks & Turkmens as well. Actually its well known fact Turks, Turkic tribes, Mongols using light cavaliers in battles in central asia which were very good at fighting on horses and which was a key factor for Turks to win a battle during middle age and beginning of new era. And when the firearms started to become popular in battles during 18th century, cavaliers lost their importance and that was the downfall time of Ottoman army...
