Chapter Ninety-Two: Two Cities in Collapse
Wei Yang took the order and left. Chen Hanlin and others then came to the door.
Chen Hanlin's bones have been loosened recently, and now when he heard that he was going to beat a small country in the mountains, he was so excited that he directly took the entire army away, more than 2,000 people plus ten newly cast two-pounder cannons, thinking that the Duchy of Theodosius should not be able to withstand this killing god.
Recently, three-quarters of the plate armor used in the army that the Great Iron Supervisor has been producing has been basically installed in the army. As it turned out, the full-cover plate armor was nothing more than the last vestiges of the knightly era. This expensive, difficult-to-manufacture complex commodity is not as good as the straightforward three-quarter plate. Compared to Milanese plate armor, three-quarter plate armor is more economical, the process is simpler, and it does not affect defensibility very much.
After all, you can't treat every creep like a knight.
.......
"The Duchy of Theodosius? It's the poor ghosts in the ravine? Haji Gelley waved his hand impatiently and said, "Let him hurry!" Get rid of the monkeys in the mountains! I can't wait. Look at my palace! Just because they send materials slowly, they always do half and leave half, I'm already bored! ”
Even the Greek priest around Haji Gelai knew it well. He found that houses made of cement, lime and bricks were much better than those made of heavy rock. Meditating in a room like this is a blessing.
The nobles of Bakhchisaray were united in their desire for the Han Chinese to open up the sea passage faster and transport all their goods to Bakhchisaray.
The Tatar feudal lords did not lack money. For them, these gold and silver goods were actually inferior to cattle and horses, so the Tatar feudal lords were happy to pay for their quality of life.
As for the Tatar herders at the bottom, who are so poor that they don't have a good life? They were not taken into account by the Tatar feudal lords.
The large fleet loaded with 3,000 colonial regiments, 5,000 stone wheat, a large number of living tools, building materials such as bricks, cement lime, etc., and an army of 2,500 men slaughtered Sevastopol with great vigour.
It was tentatively named Port Cisse.
The huge fleet did not understand, and of course it attracted the attention of Kaffa. As the fleet traveled west along the coastline, the merchants of Kaffa had noticed the large fleet of Han Chinese. For them, the Han Chinese are both partners and competitors. The large number of unique commercial resources at their disposal allowed these Genoese merchants to survive in the lower reaches of the industry, competing for not many interests.
This is unacceptable to Italians, who have always liked to be at the top of the industry. Just like the Byzantine silk industry, the relentless prying eyes of the Italians finally allowed them to own this lucrative industry.
Conrador knew Qin Cang's actions for the first time.
"Quick! Write to Chizhou! I want to know what that abominable king is doing? Is he going to completely destroy our friendship? Conrado said angrily.
He had already been overwhelmed by the events in Constantinople. The current consul of the Republic of Genoa, Raffiola Adaro, demanded that he take over the supply of Constantinople for the campaign. Full support for Giustiniani in the fight.
However, Conrador had already spilled out all the resources on hand, so what more money was left to help them deliver supplies?
Sitting in his office, Conrado felt a pang of despair.
.......
Soon, Qin Cang's reply was submitted to Conrador's desk.
"My army was sent to help my father-in-law clear the Greeks of the mountains who had angered him. And to better deliver our goods to Bakhchisaray. You don't have to worry, because my merchants will follow the promise and will not appear in the cities of Sudak and Sebra. ”
Qin Cang's reply did not make Conrador feel at ease. The Han Chinese still found a very good time to break out of the Sea of Azov and squeeze into the Black Sea trade circle.
The cities of Sudak, Sebra, Karita and other cities have long coveted Kaffa's various trades. Due to the scarcity of Genoese here, the Greeks had a strong voice. They were more amiable to the Han Chinese, who had assimilated a large number of Greeks, and secretly managed a large amount of mountain trade. Conrador knew that there were a large number of Greeks working for the Han Chinese, and that the Greeks in the southern part of the Crimean Peninsula were even more interested in Chizhou.
The Genoese were in the eyes of the Greeks of the region as representatives of the exploiters. They forbade the Greeks to buy more advanced tools of life, prevented the Greeks from consuming, and prevented the Greeks from progressing. It's like the colonies of North and South America in the sixteenth century were to Europe itself.
The steep southern shore of the Crimean Mountains, the lack of fertile land, and the risk that the region will not be able to produce its own food, and the cultivation of a large number of cash crops make it possible to do a large business in this narrow coastal area.
Kangrado knew that this group of Han Chinese, who had not been around for a long time, were very good at farming. He once went to Desheng County to inspect it personally. Where, tens of thousands of acres of huge land shocked his heart. And when he saw that there were countless more wastelands being reclaimed, Conrado's heart was broken.
The Han Chinese have broken through the already weak blockade and entered the Black Sea, how many years will the Genoese survive?
Conrador was extremely anxious.
.......
And at the moment, where Conrado doesn't know.
Taman Peninsula.
Linhai County.
The development speed of Linhai County is very fast, after the successful settlement of You'anwei on the opposite bank of the reclamation of tens of thousands of farmland, plus 30,000 acres of wheat fields and 5,000 acres of vegetable fields in Linhai County, here has quickly become the strength of the first grain production base with Desheng County.
Of course, the fishery, timber industry and shipbuilding industry in Linhai County are also developing rapidly. And there is a very amazing place, Linhai County can find some escapees in the eastern forest every once in a while, and then they are included in the household registration as homeless people.
But then Luo Shengzhi found out that you were acting too much, how can you eat two or three hundred people a day?
After interrogation, Luo Shengzhi found that the group of people came from Temutarakan City. It was the territory of the Emirate of Circassia, but it was a mixed bag, with Rus', Greeks, Jews, and other ethnic groups gathered there.
The group, mainly Greeks and Jews, told Luo Shengzhi that life was not easy for Temutarakan. The nomadic tribes blocked the trade routes, leaving Temutarakan weaker and weaker. The chiefs of the region turned a blind eye to this, and even liked to raid the farmland, leaving them in despair of the dying city.
So they began to migrate en masse to the newly emerging Linhai County to the west. Despite the dense primeval forests and muddy swamps that hindered them in the middle, they still made it here without fear.
Of course, Luo Shengzhi accepted them.
