Chapter 206: Moldavia

The spring breeze blows the grass.

Kuchuk Maha Khan is sick. He lay in bed for many days and could not get out of bed, and it is said that he had collapsed on the ground with feces and urine.

Syed Aheima has gradually begun to usurp the throne. But then, Kuchuk Mahama's son Aheima (who was not alone with the previous one) went to Batu Sarai (present-day Astrakhan) and established the Astrakhan Khanate, where he confronted Saeed Aheima.

This is what happened inside the Golden Horde in March. In contrast to this, the Makhtitik in Kazan swept Nizhny Novgorod, the battle between the Nogai Khanate and Timur, the beginning of infighting between the Uzbek Khanate and the Kazakhs inside.

These messages were sent to Dingbian County (the capital of the Don River) and then to Chijing, so that Chijing could better understand the movements on the grassland.

In any case, Qin Cang had already issued an order, ordering Qin Fusheng to gather his troops and prepare to the west, and ordering Mu Lutu to gather his elite troops and prepare to advance westward.

The second day of the first month of April.

Qin Cang said goodbye to his wife at home and got on the westbound boat alone. Recently, the family was not at peace, Artenis learned that Qin Cang and the Ottomans were united, and the Pope issued a crusade against heresy, denouncing their remnants as heretics, and saying that they could all be killed, and then became mentally unstable and almost committed suicide.

The state of Artenis is representative of many of the Greeks in the country now. Especially in Binh Nam Province, these economically prosperous places actually experienced a decline in growth in March! This has never happened before!

Liu Yujing plans to stay in Pingnan and Xishan for the next period of time, and the Greeks here must take care of it.

Qin Cang set out from Hezhong County with 40,000 armored cavalry, and arrived in Anxi County after pacifying many Tatar tribes along the way.

At this moment, Anxi County is already a rather majestic city. The huge city of reinforced concrete is located thirty miles northeast of the mouth of the Dniester River. Anxi County, which has many good ports, has a scale of 20,000 people.

As a huge grain production base and flax production base, Anxi County has been perfect enough.

Among the Shengzhou plans currently in the pipeline, Anxi County and Jincheng County are the places with the highest demand. Walking along the lake, rows of linen looms are constantly in operation. Before cotton, linen was indeed the most commonly used clothing for humans.

It's a pity that Qin Cang is not ready to get the cotton out. At present, the best areas for growing cotton are in the Nogai and Uzbek Khanates and the Nile Valley in Egypt. But these three places are no longer in Qin Cang's hands.

The Golden Horde was in chaos, but Qin Cang had no way to pick peaches, which made Qin Cang very annoyed.

The Ottomans were already mobilizing. It is said that Mehmed II was ready to send 200,000 troops to Belgrade to fight the Hungarians. In Qin Cang's view, the defeat of the Hungarians was certain. No matter how powerful Janos Hunyadi was, he didn't have enough troops to fight the Ottomans.

Therefore, quickly seizing land is something that Qin Cang urgently needs to do.

"Great Khan....... The 40,000 cavalry had returned. But we lack infantry .......," Mulutu came over and asked.

The place to be attacked is Moldavia.

The Wallachians were not yet aware of the secret pact between Qin Cang and the Ottomans, but whether Vlad III knew it or not, he would have distanced himself from the Han Chinese after the Crusader.

After the erosion of Qin Fusheng, the Moldavians have lost control of the sea access. From Baixian to the fortress of Kilya, the entire stretch of land was either Han Chinese villages or Tatar pastures, and the Moldavians were driven into the mountains.

Moldavia is still under the rule of Peter Aron. The incompetent Grand Duke has been hiding in the mountains of Suceava to this day. In the face of Qin Fusheng's attack, he was extremely weak.

Qin Fusheng quickly rushed over. He had already assembled his border army in advance, a mountain infantry corps composed of 14,000 border people who were full of food.

"How is the interior of Moldavia now?" Qin Cang asked Qin Fusheng.

Qin Fusheng said: "The situation here is not good now. The further you attack, the stronger the resistance. Actually, I could have attacked all the way to Iasi, but in order not to startle the snakes, I withdrew so that the Moldavians would become more resistant. ”

That's about the same as the pre-departure estimate. Moldavians will not always be vassals, or unlucky people who are oppressed.

Grand Duke Stefan, the national hero of the Moldavians, where will he be?

At night, Chen Dong, Qin Fusheng and Mu Lutu went up the river overnight.

Moldavia is a good terrain where mountains and rivers meet, and the land on the banks of the rivers is still very good between the mountains. So it seems that wine can be grown here.........

Suceava.

Suceava is today the land of the Romanians. Including the important town of Iasi. At this time, Moldavia was a large area of land on the outer side of the Carpathian Mountains, and later Moldavia was only a part of the land outside the mountains.

Qin Cang and others led the team all the way north along the Dniester River, aiming at the first destination, Chisinau.

At this time, Chisinau was still a small town that had risen because of religion. But his location is good, on the banks of the Dzhab River in Transnistria. Therefore, it has not been long since it arose, and it has already faintly acquired the ability to become the core of domination in this mountainous area.

In the evening, the bishop of Chisinau was still sleeping at home.

It was here that he built the first monastery, and then the peasants who depended on the monastery appeared, and then the small town gradually flourished.

Suddenly awakened by a scream in the middle of the night, he hurriedly got up to check if there were bandits breaking in. Recently, the demons in the south have been pressing harder and tighter, and many people are afraid of being caught farming, so they have run to the mountains to become robbers.

As soon as he ran out of the door, the scene in front of him scared him.

Neatly lit torches burned, and thousands of Tatar cavalry surrounded the small town!

The townspeople drove to the square in front of the monastery. Thousands of people crouched on the ground like turnips.

Qin Cang came here under the guard of honor like the stars holding the moon.

The bishop, who had not yet reached the clothes, knelt on the ground in fear when he saw Qin Cang's arrival. He was afraid that Qin Cang would prepare to step on the deserted village if he didn't agree with him, and his head would fall to the ground.

"We ........ The people have never had the will to form a crusade! Please also open up! Bypassing our lives......"

"It's actually a monk with a good character." Qin Cang said in surprise.

In such a chaotic time, literate monks are more precious, and there are even fewer virtuous people.

"Well, get up. I forgive you and your people. Tell me, how is Suceava now? ”
