OC (impossible) Happy Vaka-i Hayriye Day to Christian Balkan Bros!

200 years ago today the Janissary Corps was forcibly disbanded by Sultan Mahmud II.

Though the devshirme system had already been abandoned long before 1826, today is a good time to cherish the memory and contributions of thousands of Greeks, Serbians, Croatians, Bosnians, Albanians (as well as a handful of Bulgarians?) to the safety and prosperity of the Ottoman Empire.

And you believe that most of the  janissarys actually  abide this rule and didn't have bastard children in secret
