Djebedji

Djebedji (from Turkish Cebeci, pronounced [ˈdʒebedʒi]) was a military subunit of Ottoman Army's artillery corps.

[2] They were considered as a part of the Kapıkulu corps and based on devshirme system.

[3] During peace times, they kept the weaponry in arsenals named cephane.

The Djebedji unit participated in all campaigns commanded by the sultan or the grand vizier.

[4] In most Istanbul revolts during the stagnation and decline periods of the Ottoman Empire, the Djebedji units acted together with the Janissary, and in 1826, when the Janissary was abolished by Sultan Mahmud II following the Auspicious Incident, Djebedji units were also abolished.
