About this book
The Turkish Empire, Its Growth and Decay is by G. Shaw-Lefevre Eversley. The text says that, after the organization of the army by Orchan and Murad and the great rewards held out to the soldiers for the conquest of non-Moslem territories, it does not appear that the Ottoman armies were inspired by any missionary zeal.
The text says that the main, if not the sole motives, were loot and plunder, the sale of captives as slaves, and the confiscation of land and its distribution among the soldiers as fiefs. The text says that in the year 1354 Orchan, after completing the organization of his army, turned his attention for the first time to Europe. The text says Achmet, who quailed before the mutineers, asked whether they wished these ministers to be handed to them alive or dead, and that they unanimously agreed that they wished to have the dead bodies.
