Payitaht Abdulhamid - 118 - Abdulhamid Episode 118

Abdülhamid’s reforms in Rumelia disrupted Hechler’s plan. Hechler realized he couldn’t dismember the Ottoman Empire while Abdülhamid was alive. He hired a professional assassin to kill Abdülhamid. Halil Halid, learning of Hechler’s intentions, informed Abdülhamid. Abdülhamid did not have the assassin arrested. He would strike Hechler with his own weapon. Goldsmith also devised a separate plot. He too would attack Abdülhamid, and if Hechler failed in his attempt, he would reap the praise of his supporters. He also exploited Abdülkadir’s good intentions, drawing him into his treacherous trap. Zülüflü Ismail had recovered, but he still harbored resentment towards Abdülhamid, believing he had ordered his son’s death. Hechler had prepared documents that would put the Ottoman Empire in a difficult position during Zülüflü’s trial. This time, he believed he would definitively defeat Abdülhamid.
