Chapter Ninety-Seven: Haji Gelai's Decision

Countless arrogant cavalrymen on the Dnieper were crying wolf and singing that strange folk song. Most of them were ragged, wore shabby sheepskin hats, and were covered with holes in cloth or simply animal skins. They look rough in appearance and have no civilized air at all. The vast majority of people are a horse and a knife, and their equipment is all about grabbing.

Zaporozhye Cossacks!

Although in the fifteenth century the Cossacks referred to the Tatars, now the Cossacks mostly refer to these Slavic fugitives. These arrogant freedmen roamed freely in the steppes of Southern Ruthenia (the ancient region, referring to Ukraine, Belarus, etc.), established village communities, and stubbornly resisted the harassment of Lithuanians and nobles.

The Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland have been successfully united, i.e. one king and two kingdoms. But in reality, the two sides are still in the stage of separation. After all, the original intention of their alliance was to fight against the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and after the Battle of Tannenberg, the Grand Duchy of Moscow was fighting with the Novgorod Republic, so the degree of alliance between the two sides gradually stagnated.

The current Grand Duke of Lithuania is Kachimilz Jagiellon, the son of the legendary Grand Duke of Lithuania, Vytautas. Of course, he was also the king of Poland.

It should be noted that at the moment Poland has always been a large parliament, so an empty shell king is actually useless to put here. That's why Poland will accept coalition rule. Because the center of the ruling power was the Polish parliament Sem.

Because of the chaos of the Golden Horde, Lithuania, a magical Baltic state, actually penetrated all the way from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea!! It conquered about ten times as many lands as it had before! And the Zaporozhye Cossacks in South Ruthenia accepted Lithuanian rule, but they have always resisted a group of Lithuanian bandits who fought for freedom (crossed out).

Actually, it's right, the Zaporozhye Cossacks are no different from bandits. It's just that people have added the banner of chasing freedom, so it looks very lofty.

"Shall we just get over here? Do you really want to unite with that inbred hybrid? ”

Quite a few people in the Cossack group were dissatisfied with Srinitsky's idea of uniting Mengus. Relations between the Cossacks and the Tatars were not so good. Even sometimes the Tatars robbed the Cossacks as slaves. No less than 10,000 slaves flow into other places from Kaffa each year, often more than 20,000. These are all young people, children or fertile and beautiful women, this is the future of the Slavs! This is the real national hatred, Slavs and Tatar-Mongols.

That's why the Soviet Union continued to suppress the Tatars and almost wiped out this nation.

Srinitsky slapped the man on the head and scolded: "You kid, what's the hurry. Mengus, this idiot, won't do me much good. Be careful, keep your forces down. When Mengus and the old khan fight are defeated, we will teach him to be a man, hehehe......."

The Cossacks were neither purebred nomadic nor agrarian. They are a special group with fishing and hunting as the main body.

The Cossacks, who operated wooden boats, drifted along the Dnieper with their boats and horses to the vicinity of Karevka, an ordinary city on the lower reaches of the Dnieper. Here they disembarked and then began to march south as a group. The Cossacks gathered together in regimental and company organizations and quickly moved south.

By the way, harass and rob small tribes passing by.

The war between Haji Gelay and Mengus has been going on for half a month. In the past month, Mengus's forces have raided the Gudil tribe, and then crossed the Isthmus of Perekop at great speed, sweeping away the tribe of Haji Gelai, which is not unstoppable!

But Haji Glay isn't hot either. Hidden in the weeds, Bakhchisaray's huge army then went out and twice overtook Mengus's sweepers in the steppe, and then defeated.

But the main force of both sides has now become a trend of you chasing and catching up. Mengus led his men north across the Isthmus of Perekop, while Haji Glay followed with his army.

By the way, Haji Gelai has called on the Gudil tribe, the Kharach of the Don River and the Kharach of the Kuban in the Caucasus to overthrow the damned Mengus.

In this way, Hadji Glai seems to be invincible, while Mengus is already invincible.

But is that really the case?

.......

The eight-kilometer Perekop Isthmus is narrow and cramped.

An army of tens of thousands of Tatars gave priority to this place through which they rarely passed. The Perekop Isthmus is eight kilometers long and is the only link between the Crimean Peninsula and Ukraine. Before industry brought bridges and dikes across the sea.

"Mares's letter?" Hadji Gelley pulled out the letter.

Mares wrote a lot on and on. But the side that cares Haji Gray the most is that his sons are now being strung around. Although the heir of the King James has few supporters, Haidar is still trying to win over others, and his two most outstanding sons, Nur Daurat and Akari, are trying to win over the nobles.

And if it weren't for Maris letting Yang Qiu, a Han merchant, leave early, Yang Qiu would probably be torn to pieces by several sons, and each of them would be taken home for a three-day banquet. Restless, not only did they not pay attention to Mares's warning, but they also snatched the houses that Yang Qiu sent to build houses.

According to Mares, several of the boys built 'forts' in their respective homes.

In addition, in seven days, the young men sent seventy or eighty letters to Sophia on Qin Cang's side. You don't have to guess the content to know that it's a call for help.

This made old Haji Gray very angry, I'm not dead yet, and you're going to come and make trouble for me? Then if I die, do you still have to jump on the grave and start a party?

This is the life of the steppe peoples. The old wolf has to keep showing his muscles and tell the little wolf, I'm not dead yet, settle down. And the little wolf is ready to drive away the old wolf at any time and leave him to fend for himself.

After pondering for a long time, Old Haji Gelai suddenly said to the others beside him, "Draw up a letter for me and give it to Qin Cang." ”

"Tell him that no matter what, if I am defeated outside or murdered in the capital of Bakhchisaray, he will be the regent of the Crimean Khanate! If the cubs die, one of his and Sophia's cubs will inherit it! Get this letter out there, especially for my cubs! Fuck ......"
