Picture
Photograph dated c. 1855 purporting to show Meyvaci Ali in old age.

A village in Walalchia has refused to pay its taxes and stoned the tax collector when he arrived. Meyvaci Ali with his janissaries are billeted nearby, and Ali has been placed in command of a party of a few janissaries and some local sipahis to visit the village and recover goods to the value of the taxes.  As expected, when the villagers sighted the group they fled to the hills.

However unbeknownst to Ali, but beknownst to us, a few of the most determined villagers have defied their headman and stayed behind to protect their possessions.
