Sultan Osman realised that, the war against Poland was lost as a result of the army’s the lack of concentration and courage. He decided to reform the military system. He started his reforms with the Kapikulu Corps. When he understood that the number of soldiers were less than the number of people that were registered in book of salary he stopped paying extra money. With this event an enmity between the soldiers had raised against the sultan.

Sultan Osman II was aware of all the abuses in the administrative system but, he was so inexperienced that he could not have guessed where to start. He wanted to establish a new army, composed by the soldiers of Anatolia, Egypt and Syria. At the same time he had ideas about reforms on the palace, harem and science organisations and he was planning to organise a new judicial system. The Kapikulu Corps were anxious about this situation and they did not spare themselves pointing out it. The educated class led by sheyulislam Es’ad Efendi was so silent.

The yeniceris learned that Sultan Osman had sent a secret will to the Halep, Erzurum, Sam and Egypt Governors in order to register new soldiers. The sultan wanted to go to Anatolia in order to collect soldiers. Meanwhile, a new of revolt led by Durzu Maanozlu Fahrettin was begun in Lebanon. Sultan Osman, told that he would go to Anatolia in order to press the revolt. But, the grand vizier Dilaver Pasha and sehyulislam Es’ad Efendi told him that “it is inconvenient for the great Sultan to go to Anatolia for an unimportant revolt” and tried to prevent him from going to Anatolia. Sultan Young Osman who realised that he had no other alternative declared that, he would make a pilgrimage to Mecca. Since then, sultans never made pilgrimage, before. Grand Vizier Dilaver Pasha and Es’ad Efendi, tried to dissuade Sultan Young Osman from his plans. The governors of the cities that Sultan would have passed through were informed and ordered to restore the safety. 500 yeniceris and cavalry would given to the sultan and the others left in Istanbul in order to protect the city. The grand vizier, and many important officers and clerks would have joining the group going to Mecca.
