When Aziz asked if the big guy was interested in muskets, everyone said that was of course. It's just that everyone is worried that the Song people may not sell them this powerful weapon.

However, Aziz then conveyed Ma Bond's meaning, which immediately made these people happy.

Although the price of sixty gold coins is high, it is affordable for the big guys to grit their teeth. Besides, the other party also allows them to barter for something, which makes it even easier, isn't it?

Eventually, the members of the tribal coalition who had followed Aziz to Cairo reached an agreement with Mabond for the sale and purchase of muskets.

Here in Ma Bond, a total of more than 3,000 muskets were sold, making a large profit.

The 3,000 muskets that were sold were divided among the thirteen tribes, of which Aziz alone purchased 200 muskets on behalf of his tribe.

Strictly speaking, the number of 3,000 muskets is not very large, but the profit from it is very large.

Therefore, Ma Bond is also very happy to be able to make this deal.

Of course, compared to the arms trade agreement reached between Zhao Hongyu and the Ming Empire in the east, Ma Bangde's deal here is really a small deal.

However, the tribes of Aziz and their tribes, even if they are united, are not comparable to the Ming Empire in the east.

With the strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is very simple to buy tens of thousands of muskets from Zhao Hongyu at one time, plus a large amount of armor, weapons and food.

Whoever made the Ming Dynasty have a large population, and the tax for a year is not comparable to these tribes in Asia.

Not to mention that Zhao Hongyu also lent Daming a large amount of money in order to reach an arms trade agreement, which made Daming's finances become more comfortable all of a sudden.

Although this is advanced consumption, and it will be repaid in the future, at least Daming has money in hand now.

Therefore, it is already very good for these Arabs to buy 3,000 muskets from Ma Bond.

If it weren't for the thirteen tribes united. Ma Bond couldn't sell so many muskets.

Ma Bond himself is very satisfied with this, and in his opinion, with such a good start, then the future will not be bad.

The Arabs did not have gunpowder and lead pellets, so in order not to turn the muskets into flintment sticks, then they would definitely have to buy gunpowder and lead pellets from the empire in the future.

In this way, it is another long-term income.

Aziz said that there were hundreds of tribes in the Cuman region, large and small, and that if muskets were sold to each tribe, the sale of gunpowder and lead pellets alone would be enough for the Cairo Concession to earn a large amount of money.

After all. After you buy the musket, you can't use it as an ornament.

Training also requires some exertion, right?

These Arabs were still fighting with cold weapons, and when they got their hands on muskets, they had to train how to use them and become familiar with them.

The musket is very different from the cold weapon, that is, it must be shot enough times to master the use and accuracy of the musket.

Hey!

Ma Bond could have foreseen what kind of changes would be brought about when the empire's muskets were sold to the Arabs.

At the same time, the arrival of Aziz. It also allowed Ma Bond to start working on the matter of taking over the Cuman region. After all, according to the news brought by Aziz, the Cuman region has now begun to be unstable, and if he does not receive it quickly, there will be greater variables if it drags on for a while.

Although there is no need to worry that the Cuman region will not fall into the hands of the empire. But it's nice to be able to cut some hassle out of it.

Therefore, just three days later, Ma Bond sent 3,000 volunteers stationed in the Cairo concession to Cuman.

He was here in the Cairo Concession. Only a thousand troops remained.

For Ma Bond, leaving a thousand troops behind is enough to deal with emergencies.

There is no doubt about the strength of the Imperial Army.

And the army of 3,000 men was drawn out. After going to the Cuman area, it can be regarded as an armed force that cannot be underestimated, and it is not necessary to say that it will go sideways, but it can still be done by receiving the Cuman and then stabilizing the situation.

Ma Bond himself began to mobilize a large amount of supplies, preparing to start sending supplies and materials where to build a fortress after the corps received the Cuman to stabilize the situation.

Because he himself was in charge of the Cairo Concession, he was unable to personally lead the army to Cuman, which Ma Bond was somewhat disappointed about.

But he also knew that as the governor of the Cairo Concession, it was impossible for him to let his temperament do things.

Therefore, he appointed a colonel to command the army of 3,000 men, and gave him carte blanche to handle all matters in the Cuman region.

In other words, if something happens to Cuman, the colonel has the right to deal with it immediately without reporting it.

Regarding the dispatch of the Song Empire's troops on the Cairo Concession, the Egyptians reported to the Ottoman Empire.

Because Prince Mustafa said something about this, the Ottomans did not say anything about the Empire's dispatch of troops to Cuman.

After all, the contracts have been signed, and the Cuman region has been given to the Song Empire, so it is normal for the Song people to send troops to station now.

And the Ottomans are now pushing their own affairs a lot, so they don't have the energy to take care of this aspect.

Of course, although they didn't have the energy to take care of it, the Ottomans still made a stumbling block for the Song Empire because of their unhappiness.

That is, the Ottomans who were active in the Cuman region were constantly fanning the flames against the tribes or threatening them to leave the Cuman and move elsewhere.

For the Ottomans, the Cuman region, although there was nothing, was simply a barren land. But the tribes here are warlike, and the men are qualified warriors.

Therefore, if they stayed for the Song people, they were still very unwilling.

If these tribes could be allowed to migrate, then the Song Empire would only get a desert.

In this way, the Ottomans will feel more comfortable.

Anyway, as long as the Song Empire can receive the Cuman region, isn't it, but he did it according to the agreement.

When the time comes, even on the side of the Song Empire, there will be nothing to say.

Therefore, under the instigation of the Ottomans, many tribes in the Cuman region were deceived and began to migrate to the territory of the Ottomans and left the Cuman desert area.

The number of these tribes. It accounts for about half of the total number of all tribes in the Cuman region.

It can be seen that these tribes do not have the slightest confidence in the Song Empire that is about to take over here.

And they just think that being ruled by the people of the Song Empire is not as good as the Ottomans.

Here, it can only be said that these tribes will regret their death in a short time. However, when that time comes, it will be useless for them to regret it, the path is their own choice, isn't it?

So. They will have to pay the price for their choices.

The tribes that remained were originally more conservative and warlike.

They think that they can't leave the desert left by their ancestors, and that is a very courageous and sorry thing for their ancestors.

And, they believe that a time like this is a good time for them to get the most out of it.

The complete withdrawal of the Ottomans from Cuman, leaving a power vacuum.

Although in the near future, there will be people from the Song Empire to take over the fill. But who cares so much now.

They didn't know the Song people, and they didn't deal with them.

God knows where these people came from, maybe it's still soft-footed shrimp.

So, take advantage of this when there are no more rules. Hurry up and get your own benefits is the right thing to do.

And a small number of tribes, because of their ambitions, want to take advantage of the Song Empire's people not stationed, delusional hope to be able to dominate this desert.

When the time comes. Even if the people from the Song Empire came, there must be nothing they could do about it.

No, they were able to stop the Song people from stationing. Finally, he will become the uncrowned king of this desert.

Even if they are successfully stationed by the Song people in the end, they can still have a transcendent status.

I have to say, these people's intentions are really good.

There are not many tribes with such ideas and ambitions, just two large tribes.

The rest of the small and medium-sized tribes took advantage of this chaotic period without rules and began to use force against other tribes. Some of them are because of the hatred between tribes and tribes, and some want to annex other tribes to strengthen themselves.

Or, they simply want to plunder the populations of other tribes, or occupy other tribes' water sources or oases.

It can be said that the withdrawal of the Ottoman forces and armies left the Cuman region completely destabilized.

The Bajir tribe, to which Aziz belongs, and the other twelve united tribes are small and medium-sized tribes that do not want to leave the Cuman, where their ancestors lived, nor do they want to participate in the melee.

However, there are some things that don't mean they don't want to participate.

Don't talk about other tribes, they're already eyeing them.

So, in order to avoid losses, and to be able to find a way out.

The union of these thirteen tribes sent several envoys to Cairo to find the concession and meet Ma Bond to explain his intentions.

At the same time, it is also to measure and see what kind of virtue the future master of the Cuman region is.

If the Song Empire is not strong, then these thirteen tribes will leave if they don't do well, or simply join this melee with a ruthless heart.

Fortunately, after these envoys came to the Cairo Concession, they saw the power of the Song Empire.

Therefore, such a thing is not going to happen.

It was precisely because of the appearance of these people that Ma Bond began to pay attention to the problem of receiving and garrisoning troops in the Cuman area.

The Cumans were acquired by the Ottomans and were important to the future development of the empire, so Mabond would not let the ambitious ones get their way.

If the empire does not have great military power and self-confidence, then this goes without saying.

However, it is clear that the empire is not afraid of this at all.

And as the legion that left the Cairo Concession entered the Cuman region, it would make it even more chaotic...... (To be continued......)
