Answer:

The ottomans attracted new recruits to help with their conquests by inducing them to reach the highest posts in the military in a short span of time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Ottoman Empire and its military administration used different inducements to attract youth from the newly conquered regions to join them in their next conquests to take over the other regions.

They made the youth believe in their idea of power and authority they would get if they join the military.

I believe it's because ottoman imposed a tolerant meritocracy who made themselves acceptable to the conquered populations, which attracted new recruits to join their victorious army
(Even slaves were able to reach high position in Ottoman empire depending on their achievements)
