Chapter 107: Battle Determination
"Hurry, hurry! Come on! ”
As soon as Srinitsky returned from the front, he shouted at his subordinates to pack up and evacuate!
"What's wrong? Srinitsky, didn't you say okay and wait? A leader who had kicked off half of his hair stood up. It seems that he should be a Cossack regimental commander.
"It's too late! The Khan's messenger of reproach is about to be killed! We need to cross the river quickly, or they will catch up with us!" The muscles of Srinitsky's muscular face quivered, and he picked up his tent with his own hands and jumped into his light boat first.
"What the hell is going on? You rabbit, come out and make it clear! The crowd roared.
Srinitsky raised his head with red eyes and shouted: "Damn it, go away!" That man...... Haji Gerakhan's son-in-law's 300,000-strong army broke the 100,000 cavalry of the Golden Horde, and now he is slaughtering Belgosare! Let's go! The cunning fellows of Mengus have fled to Kajibey (present-day Odessa) and hid! Do you want to be hung up and slaughtered? ”
All the Cossacks were in chaos at once! They're here to pick up the bargain, not to die! So the banks of the Dnieper were full of panicked Cossacks. The crowd simply packed up their belongings, wrapped them in tents, threw them into the boat, and then pushed the boat down the river and swam into the distance.
The Cossacks fled in a hurry, Mengus had fled far away from Kajibey, and the whole steppe was in turmoil!
.......
And Belgosale, the thriving commercial city of the region, is now surrounded by tens of thousands of cavalry!
"Hell, my goods!"
"Don't move, you Jew! You're dead! ”
.......
In contrast to the desolate steppes, the steppes of this period were full of merchants, and the Greeks, Armenians, Alans, Jews, and other mercantile peoples became the channels for these tribes to communicate with each other.
The Arab traveler Ibn al-Baduta, who visited the city in 1333, wrote: "The city of Sarai is one of the most beautiful cities, and it is a very large city, built on flat land, and the city is crowded with people, with beautiful markets and wide streets...... There are thirteen mosques in the city where prayers are held...... The city was inhabited by different ethnic groups: the Mongols (who were the real inhabitants and rulers of the country, some of whom were ****** Christians), the ****** Azovs, Kipchaks, Circassians, Russians and Romans (all of whom were Christians). Each ethnic group occupies a certain area and has its own market. ”
As you can see from the records, this was a very prosperous city at that time.
Even now, Qin Cang felt that this city was no worse than Chizhou. Unfortunately, because of the haste of dispatching troops, the Colored Banner cavalry hardly brought any equipment to attack the city. And the city of Belgosare is not defenseless.
In the city there were many quarters of hereditary craftsmen, as well as Slavic mercenaries from Ryazan and other Slavic principalities.
Kuchuk, who fled back in a hurry, threw a lot of his subordinates along the way to the queen of the palace, but obviously, after the first queen of the palace surrendered and made a bad start, a large group of people directly changed the mountain and changed the khan to continue worshipping.
Fortunately, there is no nationalism now, and there is no psychological pressure on them to change khans, and they do not feel ashamed at all.
"King, a letter from Tana."
Tana was rebuilt by ****** people, and many of those who fled returned to the commercial city.
"Conrador's?"
"That's right."
Qin Cang took the letter.
"Respectfully to King Han...... The Ottoman Turks were fighting more and more urgently, and the mainland was already stretched thin in the Aegean Sea. In order to concentrate on the markets of Aragon and Castile, the native has decided to summon me back and appointed me head of commerce in the kingdoms of Sardinia, Sicily, and Naples. The Black Sea land itself ordered me to sell it to others. Please come back as soon as possible to discuss the plan. ”
Qin Cang was taken aback!
The abandonment of business here was also a consequence of the frenzied attack of the Ottoman Turks. But that's twenty years later! Now I didn't expect Mehmed II to go crazy enough to make ****** people feel troublesome?
After accepting the letter, Qin Cang also felt that it was time to return. Fighting all the way to Belgosale, both the physical strength and the mental strength of the army are already tired.
"Write a letter to Kuchuk Maha Khan."
Qin Cang said coldly.
Soon, the letter was brought into the city of Belgosalay by Armenian merchants.
Kuchuk got the letter with a strange expression.
Did Qin Cang ask for too much?
Not much, but the deadliest!
Qin Cang demanded that Kuchuk give up his suzerainty over the Crimean Khanate and recognize Qin Cang as the legitimate Great Khan of the Crimean Khanate! And Kuchuk must treat Qin Cang's merchants well and be exempt from taxes.
Moreover, Qin Cang demanded that Kuchuk hand over his belongings worth 10,000 Haiperun!
10,000 Hyperun, Kuchuk, of course, is not unable to take it. It's just that Qin Cang asked Kuchuk not to settle the bill with gold coins. Use all kinds of portraits and gold and silver objects!
Kuchuk's heart, 10,000 mothers can't say it.
If you want gold coins, you need gold coins, and you have to ask for 10,000 items of the equivalent of Happeron, are you sick in the brain?
"I've decided to accept this kid's request." Kuchuk agreed. He also had to agree. To the east of the Don River, the surrender of a large number of tribal lords has created a power vacuum. If Kuchuk continues to fight stubbornly, I'm afraid these places will really belong to Qin Cang. He was also glad that Qin Cang didn't ask him for land.
As a result, the Beergosalay of the day was in chaos. The sight of soldiers and subjects looting everywhere is also enough to say, 'What is the matter of this country, think about it.'"
Pulling the carriage and taking the soldiers, Qin Cang went back and forth along the Don River.
Next, if it is an ordinary Tatar, of course, where did it come from, and where did it go. But Qin Cang was not a Tatar, so he was unwilling to hand over all the land he had to these Tatar feudal lords.
Qin Cang has his own plan.
After coming to Tana City, Qin Cang had a brief meeting with a group of feudal lords.
"I decided to re-divide the pastures. And set up some business inns, towns, to provide convenience for everyone. Qin Cang bared his white teeth and smiled like a flower.
When Qin Cang crossed the Sea of Azov and returned to Chizhou, one order after another had already set off waves on the grassland!
"The ministries clearly demarcate the pastures! Don't leave without permission! In view of the fact that the various divisions of the previous war have been dispersed, the divisions are re-divided into colors and 10,000 troops, and they are stationed in various places! Since then, the following orders, regardless of the princes and nobles, will be implemented as one! ”
On the steppe, with the addition of the Gudil Department, a six-color color flag has been drawn. Qin Cang decided to use these six colors to expand and build a strong defense line outside the Crimean Peninsula!
