Do you like that tumblr blog where they solely draw yaoi of karl marx and friedrich engels?
Can't say I follow it, but I do have knowledge of it and think it's very funny. Wish I had the strength and talent to start a tumblr blog solely for the purpose of Vlad the Impaler and Mehmed II yaoi

About copied pamphlets. One of the most painful topics for those who like things "louder. In fact, pamphlets and manuscripts, whether German or later Russian (tertiary sources in general) represent the same copied text, the source of which is a rather narrow series of documents (and according to some sources only one - a fake Transylvanian denunciation) and a couple of three entertaining stories, which have been around as table jokes since long before Vlad Drguli Tepesh, but his name was later inserted into these medieval anecdotes. Such table jokes existed for a long time; if necessary, the right name was inserted, in order to make fun (and such stories were then considered a kind of fun) of this or that person. The purpose of these versions of the old stories for the feasts was the desire of some of the Transylvanian lords and of the mercenary Corvinus to smear the reputation of the too brave Walachian crusader in the eyes of Pius, especially the voivode who was eager to fight the Turks at such a bad time (and for Corvinus it always seemed to be bad time). Florescu, who writes about "Germanic" pamphlets, provides a list of 14 pamphlets. They are all either in Germany, by most, or in Hungary, and only a couple of them in Romania (as copies given to him) and one in New York, a copy in France, and one in Great Britain. The pamphlets he has cited date from an unknown in a low dialect of German, presumably from 1480. Cazacou, however, writes of four other pamphlets, which are copies of a single pamphlet from 1463. Their content is also the same, but only one of the existing pamphlets, Kazaku notes, has a concluding paragraph. This pamphlet is in London (probably the one described by Florescu under No. 6). I will give here first the list of pamphlets that Florescu mentions, and then this most elusive final paragraph. Florescu's German pamphlets: 1. "An deme quaden thyrane Dracole Wyda." No date, no place of publication, now in Budapest. There is a copy in Bucharest. There is also a copy in the Central Library of Bucharest. Date about 1480 (on this point of controversy, obviously a pamphlet before 1488, but not before 1480). On the title page is the first version of the portrait, from which other, later versions were taken and slightly altered. First published by J. C. Engel, who found this pamphlet in the library in Budapest of Count Szechenyi. It was first published in Fortsetzung der Algemeinen Welthistorie durch eine Gesellschaft von Gelehrten im Teutschland und England ausgefertigt, 49, 4, 1 (Halle, 1804). There has been some debate about this pamphlet as to whether it was written in a Transylvanian dialect of German or in Lower German, that is, a non-literary version. Most linguists are inclined toward the second version, proving it visually. For example, Bogdan held this view in his work. The publisher is supposed to have been Bartholomew Gotan. 2.Second edition in Nuremberg, title not given, Markus Ayrer published it in 1488. It is in Weimar. The portrait on the cover is similar to the pamphlet from Budapest. This pamphlet is already written in literary German. There are those who argue, Stridter, that this pamphlet was the ancestor of the others. Most, however, are inclined to say that it was copied from the work above and rewritten into literary, literate German. 3. "Dracolewaida." The date is not known, nor is the author or place of publication. Now in Munich and Stuttgart. There is a copy of it in Bucharest. The cover is a slightly altered version of the 1488 portrait. Published, presumably by P. Wagner, circa 1488. Literary German. 4. "Historie von Dracole Wayda," Leipzig, 1493. Now in St. Petersburg. The only edition, depicts Vlad in military robes with a short haircut. The headdress from the portrait is very similar to the image from the frescoes in Corvinus Castle, made during the time of Matthias Corvinus. Probably published by Martin Landsberg , Leipzig edition 1493, The Tale of Dracula, p. 185). 5. No date or publication information. Florescu writes that he did not have the opportunity to see its
title. The only pamphlet is from Wolfenbüttel. There is a copy in Bucharest where the following is written about the pamphlet, from Lübeck, Steffen Arnder, 1494-1498. Not literary German, lower German. Probably a copy of the pamphlet from Budapest. 6. "Ein Wunderliche und Erschroechenliche Hystorie von einem Grossen Wuttrich Genant Drcole Wayde ...," Bamberg. Wood-carved portrait, a simplified version of a pamphlet from Budapest. Not literary, again "Lower German".Found in the British Museum.Reprinted by Robert Proctos "An index to the early Printed Books in the British Museum", London, 1960. There is a copy in the Bucharest Central Library. The British Museum received this copy at one time in 1846 and it belonged to a Frenchman, Henry Ternot, who probably wrote on one of the blank pages where this copy came from what year. 7. "Hier facht sich au gar ain grassenlichen erschrocken ystoren ..." [Dracole Waida]. Augsburg. Christoph Schneiter, March 14, 1494. There is a crucifix on the cover. now two copies in Munich, Library of Bavaria, a copy in Zloturn and Zwickau. There is also a copy in the Romanian Academy and the Bucharest Central Library. 8. Nuremberg, Ambrosius Huber, 1499. Florescu had no opportunity to see the title. The text is identical to the one in Budapest. 9. "Hie facht sich au gar ein graussemliche und erschroeckenliche hystorien ...," Strasbourg, Matisz Hupfuff, 1500. On the cover is an image of a voivode eating a meal in the midst of his staked enemies. A colorful version of this engraving is presented in Cazacou's work. Now in the state libraries of Berlin, in a city in Colmar, France, a copy in the library of the bishop's seminary in Mainz, a copy in Copenhagen, the royal library, and a copy in Bucharest. 10. "Von dem Dracole wayda dem grossen Thyrannen. Nuremberg again. No date. Presumably 1515. Probably by Johan Stuchs. Now in Marburg, in the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation. 11. No date or publication information. Florescu had no opportunity to see the title of the pamphlet. There is a small portrait on the title page. Probably dates the pamphlet to 1520. M. Rumminger, Ausburg. Now in the library of the Romanian Academy of Sciences, from the Sturdza library , copy in the central library of Bucharest. 12. Nuremberg, Gudknecht Jost, 1521 . The title of Florescu is not known. Quoted by Bogdanov in his work Vlad Tepes. 13. "Von dem Dracole Wayda dem grossen Tyrannen," again by Ausburg, Mathis Franken. Probably date around 1530. Now in the state library in Berlin. 14. No date. The curator of the library gives the date as 1485., no information on publication. On the cover is the only portrait of Vlad the Voivode, executed in watercolor. It is now in Philadelphia in the Philip H. and A. S. W. Rosenbach Foundation. (See Frederick R. Goff, Incunabula in american Libraries (New York 1964, p. 221).This overbought American copy is usually bypassed, probably this pamphlet copy by 1488, Peter Wagner, Nuremberg. This is the kind of informative series Florescu cites in his 1974 edition. In fact, as often happens, Florescu is very careless, even judging from his references to letters, so the information can be read and accepted, but it needs verification. As we can see, Florescu did not write about the pamphlet of 1463. What is known about the pamphlet, however, 15. 1463. "Geschichte Dracole Waide," published at Vienna, by Ulrich Hahn. As they write, none of the copies of this pamphlet, of six sheets with the portrait of the voivode on the cover, has survived in the original (perhaps this was the reason for its not being mentioned by Florescu, although I doubt it) there are four more copies. One in Austria, in the Lambach monastery, from where the pamphlet disappeared at the beginning of the 20th century., in Switzerland (St. Gall Monastery), in France in Colmar (this pamphlet is mentioned by Florescu, but as a copy of a 1500 pamphlet "Hie facht sich au gar ein graussemliche und erschroeckenliche hystorien ...", Strasburg, Matis Hoopfuff, 1500), and in the UK library. One of the copies in the
original is available online, I will post it here later. Many of the pamphlets in the original were published by Karadji in 1931. So, what was in the final paragraph, presented in only one pamphlet, the original of which, as Kazaku writes, is now in London. And it says the following about the events of 1462 : "The ruler of Hungary wrote to Dracula that he wished to give him his daughter in marriage. Dracula arrived in expensive clothes, he took with him a Vlach 900 of cavalry, he was at first warmly received there, and the governor gave him his daughter as a wife, although that was then only in words still, but all in good order, as it is assumed. The wedding was celebrated then and his father-in-law accompanied him and his retinue back. When he reached Vlad's country, he stopped and said: "My lord, now husband, I have escorted you quite well," and Dracula replied, "Yes, my lord." Then Vlad was sure that he could return to himself. But then they suddenly surrounded him and immediately grabbed him. In general, the original pamphlets, the name of its task was not only a political goal, it was also intended to entertain the listener, and therefore added color in them to the full, so that each paragraph is almost naive, and the information itself is contradicted and exaggerated to grotesque proportions. In the appendix. Historia. Dracole Waida, Die geschicht dracole waide. - 14. Oktober [14]88, Weimar, the same six pages. I wondered if this is the Weimar edition, and if this is the original, then it appears Florescu was wrong again, it appears there are two colorful portraits. I understand that it is not difficult to paint a ready-made form and it is not sensational, but nevertheless. Russian, on the assumption, manuscripts we have considered, and the existing versions we will set forth above. ______ RU: О копированных памфлетах. Одна из самых болезненных тем для тех, кому нравится что "погромче". На деле, памфлеты и манускрипты, что немецкие, что более поздние русские (третичные источники вообще) представляют собой один и тот же копированный текст, источником которого является довольно узкий ряд документов (а по некоторым данным лишь один- фальшивый трансильванский донос) и пара тройка увеселительных историй, которые бытовали в качестве застольных прибауток еще задолго до Влада Дргули Цепеша, но имя его было позже вставлено в эти средневековые анекдоты. Подобные анекдоты для застолий существовали давно, при необходимости в них вставляли нужное имя, дабы потешиться (а такие рассказы считались тогда своего рода забавой) над тем или иным человеком. Целью этих же версий старых историй для застолий стало стремление как некоторых Трансильванских господ, так и сребролюбивого Корвина очернить репутацию слишком смелого валашского крестоносца в глазах Пия особливо, воеводы, который рвался в борьбу с турками в такое неподходящее время (а для Корвина оно, казалось, было всегда неподходящим). У Флореску, который пишет о памфлетах "германских", представлен список из 14 брошюр. Все они находятся либо в Германии, по большинству, либо в Венгрии и лишь пара из них в Румынии (как копии, переданные им) и один в Нью-Йорке, копия во Франции, и один в Великобритании. Приведенные у него памфлеты датируются от неизвестного на низком диалекте немецкого языка, предположительно с 1480 года. Казаку же пишет еще о четырех памфлетах, которые являются копиями единственного памфлета 1463 года. Содержание в них также одно и тоже, но лишь в одном из всех существующих памфлетов, отмечает Казаку, есть заключительный абзац. Этот памфлет находится в Лондоне (вероятно тот, который описал Флореску под №6). Приведу здесь сначала список памфлетов , которые отмечает Флореску, а далее этот самый неуловимый заключительный абзац. Немецкие памфлеты у Флореску: 1."An deme quaden thyrane Dracole Wyda". Без даты, нет места публикации, сейчас в Будапеште. Есть копия в Бухаресте. Копия представлена и в центральной библиотеке Бухареста. Дата около 1480 (по этому моменту споры, очевидно, что памфлет до 1488, но не раньше 1480). На титульном листе первый вариант
портрета,с которого взяты и немного изменены другие, более поздние варианты. Впервые опубликован Дж. Ч. Энгелем, который нашел этот памфлет в библиотеке в Будапеште графа Сечени. Первая публикация в издании "Fortsetzung der Algemeinen Welthistorie durch eine Gesellschaft von Gelehrten im Teutschland und England ausgefertigt", 49, 4, 1 (Халле, 1804). По данному памфлету велись споры, написан ли он на трансильванском диалекте немецкого либо же на нижненемецком, то есть не литературном варианте. Большинство лингвистов склоняются ко второму варианту, доказав это наглядно. Например, Богдан в своей работе придерживался такого мнения. Издателем предполагают был Бартоломей Готан. 2.Второе издание в Нюрнберге, название не приведено, Маркус Айрер публиковал его в 1488. Находится в Ваймаре. Портрет на обложке схож с памфлетом из Будапешта. Написан этот памфлет уже на литературном немецком. Есть те, кто утверждают, Штридтер, что этот памфлет стал родоначальником остальных. Большинство же склоняются к тому, что был скопирован с работы выше и переписан на литературны, грамотный немецкий. 3. "Dracolewaida". Дата не известна, как и автора или места публикации. Сейчас в Мюнхене и Штутгарте. Есть его копия в Бухаресте. На обложке несколько измененная версия портрета 1488 года. Опубликовано, предположительно, П. Вагнером, около 1488 года. Литературный немецкий. 4. "Historie von Dracole Wayda", Ляйпциг, 1493. Сейчас в Санкт-Петербурге. Единственное издание, изображает Влада в военных одеждах с короткой стрижкой. Головной убор с портрета очень похож на изображение с фресок в замке Корвина, сделанных во времена Матиаша Корвина. Вероятно, опубликовал издание Мартин Ландсберг , Лейпцигское издание 1493, Повесть о Дракуле, стр. 185). 5. Без даты и информации о публикации. Флореску пишет, что увидеть его название у него не было возможности. Единственный памфлет из Вольфенбюттель. Есть копия в Бухаресте, где о памфлете написано следующее, из Любека, Стеффен Арндер, 1494-1498. Не литературный немецкий, нижненемецкий. Вероятно, копия памфлета из Будапешта. 6. "Ein Wunderliche und Erschroechenliche Hystorie von einem Grossen Wuttrich Genant Drcole Wayde ...", Бамберг. Резной по дереву портрет, упрощенная версия памфлета из Будапешта. Не литературный, снова "нижненемецкий".Находится в музее Великобритании.Переиздавался Робертом Проктос " An index to the early Printed Books in the British Museum", Лондон, 1960. Есть копия в центральной библиотеке Бухареста. Британский музей получил в свое время эту копию в 1846 и принадлежала она французу Генри Терно, который, вероятно и написал на одной из пустых страниц, откуда эта копия какого года. 7. "Hier facht sich au gar ain grassenlichen erschrocken ystoren ..." [Dracole Waida]. Аугсбург. Кристоф Шнейтер, 14 марта, 1494. На обложке распятие. сейчас две копии в Мюнхене, библиотека Баварии, копия в Злотурн и Цвиккау. Также есть копия в Румынской академии и центральной библиотеке Бухареста. 8. Нюрнберг, Амброзий Хубер, 1499. У Флореску не было возможности увидеть название. Текст идентичный тому, что в Будапеште. 9. "Hie facht sich au gar ein graussemliche und erschroeckenliche hystorien ...", Cтрасбург, Матиш Хупфуфф, 1500. На обложке изображение воеводы трапезничающего посреди своих поверженных на кольях врагов. Красочный вариант этой гравюры представлен в работе Казаку. Сейчас в государственных библиотеках Берлина, в городе во Франции Кольмар, копия в библиотеке епископской семинарии в Майнц, копия в Копенгагене, королевской библиотеке, а также копия в Бухаресте. 10."Von dem Dracole wayda dem grossen Thyrannen". Снова Нюрнберг. Даты нет. Предположительно 1515. Вероятно Йохан Штухс. Сейчас в Марбурге, в Фонде прусского культурного наследия. 11. Без даты или информации о публикации. Возможности увидеть названия памфлета у Флореску не было. На титульном листе небольшой портрет. Вероятно датируется памфлет 1520 годом. М. Раммингер, Аусбург. Сейчас в библиотеке румынской академии наук, из библиотеки Sturdza , копия в центральной библиотеке Бухареста. 12. Нюрнберг, Гудкнехт Йост, 1521 . Название Флореску
не известно. Цитируется Богданов его работе "Влад Цепеш". 13. "Von dem Dracole Wayda dem grossen Tyrannen", опять Аусбург, Матиш Франкен. Вероятно дата примерно 1530 год. Сейчас в государственной библиотеке Берлина. 14. Без даты. Куратор библиотеки называет дату 1485., информации о публикации нет. На обложке единственный портрет Влада воеводы, исполненный в акварельных красках. Находится сейчас в Филадельции в Фонде Филипа Х. и А. С. В. Розенбаха. (См. Фредерик Р. Гофф, Incunabula in american Libraries (Нью-Йорк 1964, стр. 221).Эту перекупленную американцами копию обычно обходят стороной, вероятно этот памфлет копи работы 1488 года, Петера Вагнера, Нюрнберг. Вот такой информативный ряд приводит Флореску в своем издании 1974 года. На деле, как часто бывает, Флореску ну очень небрежен, даже судить по его ссылкам о письмах, потому информацию можно прочесть и принять, но проверки она требует. Как видно, о памфлете 1463 года Флореску не писал. Что же известно о памфлете, 15. 1463 год. "Geschichte Dracole Waide", издан в Вене, Ульрихом Ханом. Как пишут, ни один из экземпляров этой брошюры из 6 листов с портретом воеводы на обложке, из шести листов, не сохранился в оригинале (возможно это стало причиной его не упоминания Флореску, хотя я сомневаюсь) существует еще четыре копии. Одна в Австрии, в монастыре Ламбах, откуда брошюра исчезла в начале XX века., в Швейцарии (монастырь Сент-Галл), во Франции в городе Кольмар (эту брошюру упоминает Флореску, но, как копию памфлета 1500 года "Hie facht sich au gar ein graussemliche und erschroeckenliche hystorien ...", Cтрасбург, Матиш Хупфуфф, 1500), и в библиотеке Великобритании. Одна из копий в оригинале представлена в сети, позже я выложу ее здесь. Многие из памфлетов в оригинале публиковал Karadji в 1931. Так, что же было в заключительном абзаце, представленном лишь в одном памфлете, оригинал которого, как пишет Казаку, сейчас в Лондоне. А написано там следующее о событиях 1462 : "Правитель Венгрии написал Дракуле, что желает отдать ему свою дочь в жены. Дракула приехал в дорогих одеждах, с собой он взял влахов 900 кавалерии, он поначалу был тепло принят там, и отдал ему правитель в жены свою дочь, хотя то было тогда только на словах еще, зато все чинно, как и полагается. Свадьбу ту отпраздновав тогда, тесть сопроводил его со свитой обратно. Доехав же до страны Влада, остановился тот и произнес: "Государь, ныне муж , довольно вас я сопроводил я ", - а Дракула ответил: "Да, господин". Тогда уверен Влад был, что он вернуться сможет к себе. Но тут его они вдруг окружили и тотчас же схватили". В целом говоря, исходные памфлеты, имя своей задачей не только политическую цель , также были нацелены и на развлечение слушающего, и потому красок добавлено в них сполна, да так, что каждый абзац почти наивен,а информация сама себе противоречит и преувеличена до гротескных размеров . В приложении. Historia. Dracole Waida, Die geschicht dracole waide. - 14. Oktober [14]88, Ваймар, те самые шесть страниц. Меня заинтересовало, если это ваймарское издание, и если это оригинал, то ,выходит, Флореску снова был не прав, выходит, есть два красочных портрета. Понимаю, раскрасить готовую форму труда не составляет и сенсационного в этом мало, но все же. Русские, по предположению, манускрипты мы рассматривали, а существующие версии изложим выше.

A Spark in Search of a Powderkeg
Rebellion is its own justification, completely independent of the chance it has to modify the state of affairs that gives rise to it. It’s a spark in the wind, but a spark in search of a powder keg.
André Breton
If only one thing has brought me joy in the last few weeks, it began when the matriarchs at Unist’ot’en burned the Canadian flag and declared reconciliation is dead. Like wildfire, it swept through the hearts of youth across the territories. Reconciliation was a distraction, a way for them to dangle a carrot in front of us and trick us into behaving. Do we not have a right to the land stolen from our ancestors? It’s time to shut everything the fuck down!
Tawinikay (aka Southern Wind Woman)
The toxic cargo carried in Canadian pipelines, whether it be tar sands oil or fracked liquid natural gas (LNG), is, according to all serious climate scientists, a major, perhaps even decisive contribution to global warming, i.e. ecological catastrophe.   Meant to fuel industrial expansion, the pipelines have themselves become fuel for revolt. Designed to move these dirty fossil fuels from one location to another, they are a crucial element in normalizing the dubious paradise of unlimited growth in awe of which all obedient consumer/citizens are supposed to genuflect. In what the colonial mapmakers have called British Columbia (BC), resource extraction has always been the name of the game. However, the emergence in February of this year of a widespread oppositional network ranging from “land back” Indigenous warriors to elder traditionalists and from Extinction Rebellion activists to anarchist insurrectionaries was heartening. Railways, highways and ferries were blockaded, provincial legislatures, government administrative offices, banks and corporate headquarters were occupied. The catalyst for this rebellion was a widespread Indigenous uprising that refused the illusory promises of reconciliation. Together, these rebel forces disrupted business as usual in solidarity with the Unist’ot’en Big Frog clan of the Wet’suwet’en tribal house.
       ​As objective chance would have it, the primary Indigenous land defense camp is situated not far from the same Hazelton, B.C. area to which surrealist Kurt Seligmann and his wife Arlette had journeyed in 1938. During that time, they visited Gitxsan and Wet’suwet’en villages, marveled at the imaginative power of the totem poles and ceremonial objects, made field notes, shot 16mm film, collected stories and recorded mythic histories. Now, in 2020, growing numbers of these same Indigenous peoples have been threatening to bring the Canadian economy to a grinding halt. Unwilling to be bought off by corporate petrodollars or mollified by a legal system that has never done anything but pacify, brutalize, or betray them in the process of stealing their land, Indigenous peoples passionately fought back against the forces of colonial law and order in a radical whirlwind of willful disobedience and social disruption. One action built upon another in creating a rolling momentum that seemed unstoppable. When one railroad blockade would be busted by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), another would spring up in its place elsewhere extending the frontlines of the battle all across the continent. Then the debilitating Covid-19 virus arrived to compound the damage that had previously been done to the capitalist economy by the incendiary virus of revolt. The resistance of these Indigenous communities against the pipelines concerns all of us, worldwide, since they are on the front lines of the struggle to prevent cataclysmic climate change.
       ​In the future, a key question will be whether Canadian authorities can successfully put the genie of Indigenous rebellion back in the colonial bottle of “reconciliation”. As surrealists, we hope they will not, and we stand in solidarity with the unreconciled insurgent spirit of defiant Indigenous resistance. A new reality is to be invented and lived instead of the one that today as yesterday imposes its environmental miserabilism and its colonialist and racist hierarchies.  As surrealists, we honor our historical affinity with the Kwakwaka’wakw Peace Dance headdress that for so long had occupied a place of reverence in André Breton’s study during his lifetime before being ceremoniously returned in 2003 to Alert Bay on Cormorant Island by his daughter, Aube Elléouet, in keeping with her father’s wishes. With this former correspondence in mind, we presently assert that our ongoing desire to manifest the emancipation of the human community as distinctively undertaken in the surrealist domain of intervention is in perfect harmony with the fight of the Indigenous communities of the Americas against globalized Western Civilisation and its ecocidal folly.

 Postscript: During the process of gathering signatures for the above declaration, we were inspired to see its uncompromising stance against white supremacy and police repression reflected in the brightly sparkling flames of the Minneapolis uprising that lit a powder keg of pent-up rage and incited an earth-shaking eruption of spontaneous rebellion in the streets of America. It was only fitting that in solidarity with the uprising about police brutality kicked off by George Floyd’s execution/lynching at the hands of the police, anti-racism protestors in the United States would take direct action by beheading or bringing down statues of Christopher Columbus, genocidal symbol of the colonial expropriation of Native American lands.

Cengiz Han vs III Vlad - Hangi Lider Daha Acımasızdı?
Tumblr media
Cengiz Han vs III Vlad
Tumblr media
Cengiz Han vs III Vlad. İnsanlık tarih boyunca birçok acımasız komutan ve lider ile karşılaşmıştır. Yüzlerce Protestan'ı yakarak öldüren "Kanlı Mary"den, sinirlendiği için kendi oğlunu öldüren "Korkunç Ivan" gibi.. Peki bu liderler arasından ikisi olan Cengiz Han mı yoksa III Vlad mı daha merhametsizdi? 
Cengiz Han vs III Vlad: Cengiz Han Kimdir? 
Tumblr media
Cengiz Han ya da doğum adı ile Temuçin, Moğol İmparatorluğu'nun kurucusu olan hükümdar ve komutandır. 1162 yılında doğan Cengiz Han, 1227 yılında hayatını kaybetmiştir. Börte ve Yesüy isimli 2 eşi olan Cengiz Han'ın yasal varisi olan 4 erkek çocuğu olmuştur ve Alaltun isimli bir de kızı vardır. Ancak bunlar dışında başka kadınlardan birçok kızı ve birkaç da oğlu olsa da, yasal haklardan mahrum edildikleri için isimleri bilinmemektedir.  İlk eşi ile evlendikten kısa bir süre sonra Merkit kabilesinin saldırısına uğrayan Temuçin, hayatta kalmayı başarmış olsa da eşinin kaçırılmasına engel olamamıştır. Karısını kurtarmak için bataklıklar içinden geçerek düşmanı ağır bir mağlubiyete uğratır ve onu kurtaramasa bile büyük bir ün kazanır. Verdiği bu hücum kararı, dünyayı fethetme yolundaki en önemli adımlardan biridir.  1189 yılında toplanan bir kurultay kararı sonucu Temuçin, "Kağan" unvanını aldı ve Temuçin Kağan olarak anılmaya başladı.
Temuçin'in Cengiz Han Olması
Tumblr media
Temuçin'in Merkitler'i, Naymanlar'ı, Keraitler'i, Tatarlar'ı ve diğer küçük kabileleri liderliği altında birleştirmesi onu Orta Asya bozkırlarındaki tek güç hâline getirdi. 1206 yılının ilkbaharında Onon nehrinin kaynaklarında, kendisine bağlanmış olan bütün kabileleri bir araya getirerek büyük bir kurultay topladı. Tüm göçebe topluluklarını birleştiren Temuçin, tek bir ulus yarattı ve bu ulusa “Moğol Ulusu” adını verdi. Artık o Moğolların mutlak efendisi idi. 1206 kurultayının en önemli kararı Temuçin’in daha evvel aldığı “Kağan” unvanına ilaveten “Cengiz” unvanını almasıdır. Bu tarihten sonra kendisine “Cengiz Kağan” veya “Cengiz Han” diye hitap edilmesini istemiştir. Temuçin bu sırada 44 yaşındaydı. 
Acımasız Olarak Bilinmesine Sebep Olan Olaylar
Tumblr media
Söylenenlere göre Cengiz Han düşmanlarına teslim olma fırsatı sunar, kabul etmezlerse kendilerini, tüm ailelerini ve dostlarını merhametsizce öldürürdü ve estirdiği terörden gurur duyardı. Elbette bahsedilen olayların uzak tarihte gerçekleşmesi sebebiyle her zaman doğruluğu kanıtlanamıyor olsa da, en korkutucu Cengiz Han eylemleri şu şekilde;  Düşman liderlerinin göz ve kulaklarına erimiş gümüş döktürmesi: Inalchuq isimli bir soylunun, Cengiz Han'ın gönderdiği karavanı parçalayıp, askerlerini öldürmesi sonucu, tüm halkı öldürüldü, kendisinin ise sonu erimiş gümüşten oldu. Hükümdarlığı sırasında ordusunun öldürdüğü insan sayısı: Birinci Dünya Savaşı'nda toplam 16 ila 19 milyon insanın öldüğü tahmin edilirken, Cengiz Han'ın bu olaydan yüzlerce yıl önce toplam 40 milyon civarında insanın ölümüne sebep olduğu tahmin ediliyor. Savaş esirlerini kalkan olarak kullandırması: Kimi kaynaklar Cengiz Han'ın ele geçirdiği esirleri askerlerine canlı kalkan olarak kullandırmak için hayatta tuttuğunu söylüyor.  Tarihin belki de en kanlı ve vahşi katliamı olan Ürgenç Yağmalaması: Harezmşahlar Devleti'ne karşı savaşının son durağı olan Ürgenç'te 1 milyondan fazla insanın katledildiği söyleniyor. Savunmacıların, esir düşerlerse başına geleceklerden korktukları için kazanma şansları olmadığında bile savaşmaya devam ettikleri de notlar arasında.   
Cengiz Han vs III Vlad: III Vlad Kimdir?
Tumblr media
Kazıklı Voyvoda, Vlad Tepeş ya da Kont Drakula isimleriyle bilinen III Vlad, 3 kez Eflak Voyvoda'sı olmuş Rumen komutan ve liderdir. Doğumu 1428/1431 ve ölümü 1476/1477 yıllarındadır. Slav dillerinde Voyvoda kumandan ya da prens anlamına gelir.  Osmanlılara karşı savaş kaybetmesi yüzünden babası tarafından rehin verilmiştir. 1442 - 1448 yıllarını rehine olarak geçiren Vlad, beylik şehzadeleri ile birlikte yaşamıştır. Osmanlı desteğiyle Eflak'ın başına geçme girişimi başarısız olunca, o zaman Eflak Voyvoda'sı olan II. Vladislav tarafından Boğdan'a sürgün edilmiştir. Osmanlı'nın 1456 yılında Belgrad şehrini kuşatması sonucu Erdel beyi güney kısmı savunması için Vlad'a bir ordu verir ve bu durumdan faydalanan Vlad, Eflak'a sefer düzenleyip yeni Eflak Voyvodası olur. Kabul edilen görüşe göre Aralık 1476 ve Ocak 1477 tarihleri arasında 300 Rumen askeri ile birlikte Osmanlı ordusuna mağlup oldu ve kılıçla başı gövdesinden ayrılarak idam edildi. II. Mehmet'e Vlad'ın öldüğünü ispatlamak için Vlad'ın başı, Osmanlı birlikleri ile birlikte başkente getirildi. III Vlad'ın Kazıklı Voyvoda Oluşu
Tumblr media
Voyvoda'lık döneminde rakiplerini çeşitli yöntemlerle cezalandırdı ve idam etti. Bu yöntemler arasında en ünlüsü olan "kazığa geçirme", ölümünden sonra kendisine "Kazıklı Vlad" (Vlad Ţepeş) adının verilmesine neden oldu. Kazığa geçirilenlerin kanlarını fıçılarda toplatıp şarap gibi içtiğine dair söylentiler daha sonra onun bir vampir olduğu efsanesine neden oldu. Bram Stoker III Vlad'dan esinlenerek Dracula adlı romanı yazdı ve bu III Vlad'ın, meşhur vampir Kont Drakula'ya dönüşmesine sebep oldu.  Acımasız Olarak Bilinmesine Sebep Veren Olaylar
Tumblr media
Binlerce insanın öldürülmesi: Toplamda farklı yöntemlerde 80,000 insanın ölümüne yol açtığı tahmin ediliyor. Günümüzde Romanya'da bulunan Targovişte bölgesinin dışarısında insanlara göstermek adına kazığa geçirip dizdiği 20,000 kişi de buna dahil.  Cennete gitmelerini sağlamak adına rahipleri kazığa oturtması: Michael Beheim'in iddialara göre bir papaz ile konuştuktan sonra yazdığı şiire göre, Vlad 2 rahibi cennete kavuşturmak adına kazığa oturtmuş, ardından sahibinin ölümünün ardından inlemeye başladığı için eşeklerinin de kazığa geçirilmesini emretmiş.  Türk elçilerini ziyaretleri sırasında öldürmesi: Antonio Bonfini'nin Historia Pannonica kitabında geçen bir bölüme göre Vlad, kendisine saygılarını sunmak üzere gelen Türk elçilerinin gelenekleri dolayısı ile sarıklarını çıkarmayı reddetmelerine sinirlenmiş ve başlarına üçer tane kazık geçirterek sarıklarını "çıkaramamaları için güçlendirmiş"tir.   Bugün sizler için tarihin en acımasız 2 liderinden bahsettik. Cengiz Han vs III Vlad , kim daha acımasız? Karar sizin.  Yazımızdan memnun kaldıysanız daha fazlası için sizler Kararsizin Tarih kategorisini incelemeye davet ediyoruz.   Read the full article

Each team's lineup if season started today
We're less than a month away from Spring Training, so it's a good time to project what each club's Opening Day lineup will look like, or at least what it would look like if the season started today. With the help of all 30 MLB.com beat writers, here's a roundup of how they might shake out.
AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST
Blue Jays Initially, the Jays will be looking for a healthy, bounce-back year from second baseman Devon Travis and continued growth from shortstop Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and left fielder Teoscar Hernandez to support a lineup anchored by first baseman Justin Smoak, right fielder Randal Grichuk and designated hitter Kendrys Morales. But at some point soon, the real fun begins when the next wave of Jays stars reach Toronto -- outfielder Vladimir Guerrero Jr., infielder Bo Bichette and catcher Danny Jansen are all expected to arrive in 2019. Jansen likely will start the season with the Jays, and the other two won't be far behind. -- Gregor Chisholm
LINEUP IF SEASON STARTED TODAY
1. Devon Travis, 2B 2. Justin Smoak, 1B 3. Kendrys Morales, DH 4. Randal Grichuk, RF 5. Teoscar Hernandez, LF 6. Kevin Pillar, CF 7. Brandon Drury, 3B 8. Danny Jansen, C 9. Lourdes Gurriel Jr., SS
Video: Bo Bichette discusses his goals for 2019, Vlad Jr.
Orioles For years, the Orioles were anchored by a core group of positions players who Buck Showalter would regularly arrange into one of baseball's most powerful offensive units. Now with the O's fully in rebuilding mode, the only guarantee about new manager Brandon Hyde's first lineup is that it will look very different.
Seven of the nine members of last year's Opening Day lineup are out of the organization, but the fact that dozens of free agents remain on the market gives the Orioles ample time to bolster a roster that, as of now, projects to be only a fraction as productive as it was a year ago. The current group could receive a boost if Mark Trumbo recovers from offseason knee surgery in time for late March. Top prospects Yusniel Diaz or Ryan Mountcastle could also play their way into the mix, should they impress enough in camp to crack the club's Opening Day roster. -- Joe Trezza
LINEUP IF SEASON STARTED TODAY
1. Cedric Mullins, CF 2. Jonathan Villar, 2B 3. Trey Mancini, DH 4. Chris Davis, 1B 5. DJ Stewart, RF 6. Renato Nunez, 3B 7. Joey Rickard, LF 8. Richie Martin, SS 9. Chance Sisco, C
Rays Due to the team's versatility, manager Kevin Cash will have a lot of quality options with his lineup card. Mallex Smith, who had a .357 on-base percentage in the leadoff spot in 2018, was traded to Seattle in November, which creates a hole at the top of the lineup for the Rays. With Smith gone, outfielder Kevin Kiermaier could be the first in line to get a crack at the leadoff spot. Kiermaier struggled at the plate to begin last season and then was sidelined for two months with a torn ligament in his right thumb. The 28-year-old outfielder finished the season with a .217 batting average, but had an encouraging end to his season, posting a .306/.371/.597 slash line in September.
In this lineup, Tommy Pham would hit third with designated hitter Ji-Man Choi hitting cleanup. In just 25 at-bats in the cleanup role last season, Choi posted a .450/.520/.850 slash line. Willy Adames and Yandy Diaz provide a good combination of contact and power in the fifth and sixth spots, while Meadows, who hit .250 in 10 games with the Rays last season, provides some power from the left-hand side in the seventh slot. Mike Zunino and Joey Wendle (or Daniel Robertson, depending on the pitcher) would round out the team's lineup. -- Juan Toribio
LINEUP IF SEASON STARTED TODAY
1. Kevin Kiermaier, CF 2. Matt Duffy, 3B 3. Tommy Pham, LF 4. Ji-Man Choi, DH 5. Willy Adames, SS 6. Yandy Diaz, 1B 7. Austin Meadows, RF 8. Mike Zunino, C 9. Joey Wendle, 2B
Red Sox The World Series champs are in the enviable position of returning their entire allotment of position players, except for Ian Kinsler. But there's good news on that front also, as the hope is that second baseman and veteran leader Dustin Pedroia can return to the lineup after missing all but three games last season due to a left knee injury.
This lineup is deep and balanced, with power and speed, and has the ability to put the ball in play consistently. Mookie Betts and J.D. Martinez should again present major headaches to the opposition on a near nightly basis. Andrew Benintendi and Betts will be flip-flopped from their spots from a year ago, with the hope it will create more RBI opportunities for the latter. This could be a big growth year for the 22-year-old Rafael Devers. -- Ian Browne
LINEUP IF SEASON STARTED TODAY
1. Andrew Benintendi, LF 2. Mookie Betts, RF 3. J.D. Martinez, DH 4. Xander Bogaerts, SS 5. Mitch Moreland, 1B 6. Dustin Pedroia, 2B 7. Rafael Devers, 3B 8. Jackie Bradley Jr., CF 9. Christian Vazquez, C
Yankees One year after the Yankees became the first team to have a dozen players reach double digits in the home run department, the Bronx Bombers again appear primed to boast impressive power, even without adding a megastar like Manny Machado or Bryce Harper. The projected order skews heavily toward right-handed bats, which is odd considering Yankee Stadium's configuration, but most have the ability to power the ball to right-center field. Troy Tulowitzki will have first crack at shortstop, but DJ LeMahieu provides a capable option at second base, shortstop and third base. -- Bryan Hoch
LINEUP IF SEASON STARTED TODAY
1. Brett Gardner, LF 2. Aaron Judge, RF 3. Aaron Hicks, CF 4. Giancarlo Stanton, DH 5. Gary Sanchez, C 6. Miguel Andujar, 3B 7. Gleyber Torres, 2B 8. Luke Voit, 1B 9. Troy Tulowitzki, SS

AMERICAN LEAGUE CENTRAL
Indians The Indians' lineup will feature plenty of new names in 2019, but one familiar face will be back with the Tribe. After spending last season with the Phillies, Carlos Santana was traded to the Mariners briefly before coming back home to Cleveland in exchange for Edwin Encarnacion.
Despite the team's high turnover rate, Francisco Lindor and Jose Ramirez will return to the Indians' infield, providing leadership to the young roster. Both Ramirez and Lindor are coming off standout seasons, placing third and sixth in American League MVP voting, respectively. -- Mandy Bell
LINEUP IF SEASON STARTED TODAY
1. Francisco Lindor, SS 2. Jason Kipnis, 2B 3. Jose Ramirez, 3B 4. Carlos Santana, DH 5. Jake Bauers, 1B 6. Tyler Naquin, RF 7. Leonys Martin, CF 8. Jordan Luplow, LF 9. Roberto Perez, C
Video: Jose Ramirez is the No. 1 third baseman right now
Royals Of course, the big question regarding the batting order is where manager Ned Yost will fit in speedster Billy Hamilton, who primarily hit toward the bottom of the order while with the Reds. Yost could go for the speed trifecta at 9-1-2 with Hamilton hitting ninth, and then Whit Merrifield and Adalberto Mondesi at the top. -- Jeffrey Flanagan
LINEUP IF SEASON STARTED TODAY
1. Whit Merrifield, 2B 2. Adalberto Mondesi, SS 3. Alex Gordon, LF 4. Jorge Soler, DH 5. Salvador Perez, C 6. Ryan O'Hearn,1B 7. Hunter Dozier, 3B 8. Jorge Bonifacio, RF 9. Billy Hamilton, CF
Tigers The Tigers have work to do before they can put together a lineup of young talent to go with their promising pitching prospects. But their 2019 lineup shows some promise. With Jeimer Candelario at third base and Christin Stewart likely in left field, Detroit has a pair of young run producers. On the flip side, the Tigers get veteran Miguel Cabrera back after he missed most of last season due to biceps surgery. If Nicholas Castellanos isn't traded, Detroit has a decent core to the batting order if it can identify another run producer for the fifth spot. -- Jason Beck
LINEUP IF SEASON STARTED TODAY
1. Jeimer Candelario, 3B 2. Christin Stewart, LF 3. Nick Castellanos, RF 4. Miguel Cabrera, 1B 5. Niko Goodrum, 2B 6. John Hicks, DH 7. Grayson Greiner, C 8. JaCoby Jones, CF 9. Jordy Mercer, SS
Twins: Minnesota finished 23rd in the Majors with 166 homers in 2018, but added a trio of right-handed sluggers with 30-homer power -- C.J. Cron, Jonathan Schoop and Nelson Cruz -- to address the power concerns and fill the needs at first base, second base and designated hitter on manager Rocco Baldelli's first Twins roster. -- Do-Hyoung Park
LINEUP IF SEASON STARTED TODAY
1. Jorge Polanco, SS 2. Eddie Rosario, LF 3. Miguel Sano, 3B 4. Nelson Cruz, DH 5. C.J. Cron, 1B 6. Max Kepler, RF 7. Jonathan Schoop, 2B 8. Jason Castro, C 9. Byron Buxton, CF
White Sox This lineup on Jan. 15 could change by the end of the month or the end of the week or even the end of the day, as the White Sox continue their strong pursuit of premium free agent infielder Machado and possibly even premium free agent outfielder Harper. If they get one, let alone fulfill the long shot of reaching a deal with both, their lineup immediately looks quite different. Even if they miss out on both, the White Sox still have made significant changes to balance their lineup with the additions of left-handed hitting Yonder Alonso and Jon Jay. They also brought in catcher James McCann, who probably won't split time with Welington Castillo, but will get more than backup playing time. -- Scott Merkin
LINEUP IF SEASON STARTED TODAY
1. Jon Jay, RF 2. Yoan Moncada, 2B 3. Jose Abreu, 1B 4. Yonder Alonso, DH 5. Welington Castillo, C 6. Daniel Palka, LF 7. Tim Anderson, SS 8. Yolmer Sanchez, 3B 9. Adam Engel, CF
AMERICAN LEAGUE WEST
Angels The Angels are expected to be without designated hitter Shohei Ohtani to begin the season, as he recovers from Tommy John surgery, which means Albert Pujols will open the year as DH. Manager Brad Ausmus said he'd like to see Mike Trout hit No. 2 in the lineup, while Zack Cozart served as leadoff hitter early last season until suffering a season-ending labrum tear in his left shoulder. There remains a competition in the infield among David Fletcher, Taylor Ward and Tommy La Stella and it'll be determined in Spring Training. -- Rhett Bollinger
LINEUP IF SEASON STARTED TODAY
1. Zack Cozart, 3B 2. Mike Trout, CF 3. Justin Upton, LF 4. Justin Bour, 1B 5. Albert Pujols, DH 6. Andrelton Simmons, SS 7. Kole Calhoun, RF 8. David Fletcher, 2B 9. Jonathan Lucroy, C
Astros The Astros made a huge addition to their lineup last month when they signed free agent outfielder Michael Brantley, who brings a much-needed presence from the left side of the plate while being difficult to strike out. The core of Houston's powerful lineup is all right-handed --Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, Alex Bregman and George Springer -- and the addition of Brantley gives them a top five in the lineup that's perhaps the deepest in baseball, when healthy. -- Brian McTaggart
LINEUP IF SEASON STARTED TODAY
1. George Springer, CF 2. Alex Bregman, 3B 3. Jose Altuve, 2B 4. Carlos Correa, SS 5. Michael Brantley, LF 6. Yuli Gurriel, 1B 7. Josh Reddick, RF 8. Tyler White, DH 9. Robinson Chirinos, C
Video: AJ Hinch on Brantley's veteran approach, preparation
Athletics  One of baseball's most potent offenses will feature many of the same bats that helped the A's into the postseason last year. Homer-happy Khris Davis isn't the only power hitter residing in this lineup: Matt Olson, Stephen Piscotty, Matt Chapman and Marcus Semien also routinely hit the ball out of the park, and they're flanked by productive complementary pieces, including on-base machine Nick Martini and the dynamic Ramon Laureano. -- Jane Lee
LINEUP IF SEASON STARTED TODAY
1. Nick Martini, LF 2. Matt Chapman, 3B 3. Matt Olson, 1B 4. Khris Davis, DH 5. Stephen Piscotty, RF 6. Jurickson Profar, 2B 7. Ramon Laureano, CF 8. Marcus Semien, SS 9. Chris Herrmann, C
Mariners Only four of last season's Opening Day position starters are still on the roster, though it's likely that a fifth -- Ichiro Suzuki -- will be added before the season begins. But gone are Seattle stalwarts Robinson Cano, Cruz and Jean Segura, who batted in the 2-3-4 spots in the lineup in last year's 2-1 Opening Day win over the Indians. Also gone is 2018 Opening Day catcher Mike Marjama, who was filling in for an injured Zunino, who has also been traded.
That leaves returning starters Dee Gordon -- who is shifting from center field to second base -- along with right fielder Mitch Haniger, third baseman Kyle Seager and first baseman Ryon Healy. -- Greg Johns
LINEUP IF SEASON STARTED TODAY
1. Mallex Smith, CF 2. Dee Gordon, 2B 3. Mitch Haniger, RF 4. Edwin Encarnacion, DH 5. Kyle Seager, 3B 6. Domingo Santana, LF 7. Ryon Healy, 1B 8. Omar Narvaez, C 9. Tim Beckham, SS
Rangers The Rangers are loaded with young left-handed power with Nomar Mazara, Joey Gallo, Rougned Odor and Ronald Guzman, but are still susceptible to the strikeout. They could also use more help from the right side and depth at both catcher and third base. They also need a full and healthy season from Delino DeShields in the leadoff spot. -- T.R. Sullivan

NATIONAL LEAGUE EAST
Braves The Braves feel good about having three MVP candidates at the top of their lineup, but uncertainty about who will be the third outfielder leaves a glaring hole in the cleanup spot. If an outfielder is not acquired and Adam Duvall is given a starting spot, manager Brian Snitker could address the top-heavy nature of his lineup by moving Ender Inciarte to the leadoff spot and dropping either Ronald Acuna Jr. or Josh Donaldson to the fourth spot. The offense's success will be influenced by Ozzie Albies' adjustments against left-handers and Dansby Swanson's attempt to expand his plate coverage. -- Mark Bowman
LINEUP IF SEASON STARTED TODAY

Marlins The Marlins continue to explore the market for a left-handed power bat to play either first base or a corner outfield spot, and there is the on-going saga of whether All-Star catcher J.T. Realmuto will be traded or not. With so much up in the air, projecting the Marlins' Opening Spring Training lineup remains highly speculative. But based on how the roster is constructed as of now, there are a number of directions the organization can go. A year ago, Lewis Brinson was the Opening Day leadoff hitter, and unless a more traditional table-setter is added, Brinson again could get a look at the top of the order, in hopes of getting him on track. -- Joe Frisaro

Mets The addition of Jed Lowrie gives the Mets an obvious No. 2 hitter, though they'll skew left-handed at the top of the order for as long as Yoenis Cespedes remains sidelined. A greater issue is where Lowrie fits on defense; given his lack of experience at first base, he may push Todd Frazier to that position early in the season. -- Anthony DiComo

Video: Jon Heyman discusses the Jed Lowrie signing for Mets
Nationals There is still so much speculation about whether Harper will ultimately wind up back in the middle of this batting order, but the Nationals feel confident in this lineup even without their homegrown star at the center. Thanks to a boost at catcher, a new second baseman and the infusion of rookie Victor Robles, this new-look Nats lineup has a chance to remain one of the most productive in the National League. -- Jamal Collier

Phillies  The Phillies have upgraded their lineup from 2018, with the additions of outfielder Andrew McCutchen and shorstop Segura. But they hope to make one more major move before Opening Day. If the Phillies sign Harper or Machado to a multiyear contract, it changes everything. -- Todd Zolecki

Brewers The Brewers are returning the bulk of the roster that played to within one game of the World Series in 2018, with second base representing the only real hole after the team signed catcher Yasmani Grandal. Right now, a Hernan Perez/Cory Spangenberg platoon is possible, though general manager David Stearns is likely to either sign or trade for a player to fill that position, or find a third baseman and move Travis Shaw to second. -- Adam McCalvy

Cardinals The top of the Cardinals' order became instantly more formidable with the December acquisition of Paul Goldschmidt. He'll likely hit behind one of the best leadoff hitters in the game and ahead of the club's two biggest power threats. With an element of speed at the bottom of the order, the Cardinals' lineup is positioned to be more dynamic than it was a year ago. -- Jenifer Langosch

Cubs Cubs manager Joe Maddon cycled through 152 lineup variations in 2018, so this alignment is definitely written in pencil. At least 10 players appeared in each lineup spot for Chicago, which featured one of MLB's top offenses until a two-month slump to end last season. The Cubs are banking on a return to health from slugger Kris Bryant, among other things, to help this group get back on track in '19. -- Jordan Bastian

Pirates The Pirates haven't officially settled on a shortstop, and it's unclear how they'll use Colin Moran and Jung Ho Kang at third base. The look of their lineup will also change when right fielder Gregory Polanco, their most productive hitter last season, comes off the disabled list. Manager Clint Hurdle will look for the right configuration, but it's fair to assume that Adam Frazier, Starling Marte and Corey Dickerson will be involved atop the order with Josh Bell getting another shot in the cleanup spot. -- Adam Berry

Reds The front office has signaled more improvements to the club are coming in the final month before Spring Training. There is still a need for a regular center fielder and the team has an overload of corner outfielders that will need to be sorted out. A fluid situation, it does not account for how the Reds will utilize another acquisition in corner outfielder Matt Kemp. And then there is Nick Senzel. The organization's No. 1 prospect, according to MLB Pipeline, will be competing for the opening in center field but could also be a lineup regular in a utility role, playing up to five positions. -- Mark Sheldon

D-backs The D-backs still have work to do in order to complete their lineup for Opening Day with one big piece still unknown. They are looking to either move Ketel Marte to center and acquire a second baseman or acquire a center fielder and leave Marte at second. How that plays out could will reshape this lineup. One thing to note about the catching spot: while Carson Kelly figures to get a lot of time behind the plate, the D-backs also like to rotate their catchers, so Alex Avila and John Ryan Murphy will also play. -- Steve Gilbert

Dodgers There's plenty of time left for trades and free-agent signings and a host of mutations depending on matchups and platoons. Russell Martin figures to challenge Austin Barnes for the starting catching job. All that aside, what does the Dodgers' starting lineup for 2019 look like today? Some variation of this. -- Ken Gurnick

Giants The Giants' current projected lineup is comprised of holdovers from 2018, but they are hoping to add a couple of new faces to the starting outfield by Opening Day to help boost an offense that struggled to consistently score runs last year. -- Maria Guardado

Padres Franmil Reyes, Wil Myers and Hunter Renfroe are currently fighting for two corner outfield spots (and, presumably, the No. 4 and 5 spots in the lineup). The Padres have a clear logjam in their outfield, and it's possible one of those three big boppers is dealt before the season. Meanwhile, it seems unlikely that Ty France actually starts on Opening Day. General manager A.J. Preller remains in search of third-base help, and it's a near certainty he adds someone before the start of camp. -- AJ Cassavell

Rockies The addition of Daniel Murphy puts some left-handed pop in the lineup behind home run threats Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story. The lineup still could use one more right-handed threat. Another idea could be to lead off with David Dahl, followed by Story, Charlie Blackmon and Arenado to separate the left- and right-handed hitters through the early portion. -- Thomas Harding
