176. Chapter 176: The Second Half of the Year
Thus, in the summer of 1747, the Crusaders swept through the great frontier as if in a furious manner. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info dictates all disobedience. And with the rampant rush of the Crusaders, the crusade craze in the interior of the empire also intensified.
The monarchs, nobles, bishops, and merchants of various powerful countries commented on this, and they praised the crusaders as a mighty army of benevolence and righteousness, invincible and invincible.
Under the protection of the Lord of Radiance, with the support of a group of kings and nobles, and under the leadership of the Crusader noble knights, they will overcome all difficulties and obstacles and successfully push the human world to the highest peak of glory.
Given the blank slate, the speculative frenzy in the Polotsk United Province has become irrepressible. Occasionally, though, a few smart people would say that this was strange, or "Is this worth that much money?" and "If the crusade fails, won't it be lost?"
But this kind of calmer and more rational words were quickly, fast, and fast and could not be faster than melted by the heat ignited by the speculative frenzy.
At this moment, people have completely lost their minds. I don't think about it at all. The price of Crusader Securities has repeatedly reached new highs. People are always cheering at the price of a security, and think that it will break the laws of science and go up abnormally.
Or, at this moment, a small number of people have begun to be suspicious. However, it is this group of people who preach the invincibility of the Crusaders and the inevitable profit of investment, and that Crusader Securities is a shortcut to success.
-- William is not alone in trying to fish in troubled waters and profit from this speculative frenzy.
In addition, people also have another fluke mentality. Or rather conceited. All consider themselves to be the smartest. It's like a stock flipper, and everyone thinks they're the next Buffett.
Everyone thinks that no matter how high the price of a security is, there will be the next fool to take over. All of them also believe that even if the investment market really crashes and the bubble is punctured by the "biu", they can predict the prophet at the first time, return all the funds, and then take their assets that have increased more than ten times, dozens of times, or even more to live their own good life.
Of course, it is not known what the real situation is.
In the second half of 1747, the great cause of all mankind to go hand in hand to catch up with the United States and the United States took a new stage.
It's not a good development.
This was mainly due to the fact that in the south, the Knights of the Holy Sword attacked Tronica, making it impossible for the Centaur Khan to endure it any longer.
On one side it is an important coastal trading area, and on the other side it is an important source of timber, minerals, grain and livestock. After a little weighing, Sarida Khan chose the latter.
Or, in fact, he didn't have to weigh it - because he didn't have a choice.
The benefits of trade along the Black Sea coast, and from the Black Sea to the azure seas, are truly staggering. But there is a premise here, and that is first of all, you need to have a product, and a product to sell and exchange.
And to ensure this premise, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the interior of Tronica.
In addition, there is a more important point, that is, sea supremacy.
Today, the Tartariya Khanate has completely lost its sea supremacy. Moreover, the inland resource production area is also in danger. In such a situation, it is obvious that to put the cart before the horse, to dwell on the gains and losses of a corner of the Crimean peninsula, and such an impractical thing as seafaring trade.
Instead of thinking about how to catch the moon in the well, it is better to think about something else realistically......
After thinking about it like this, Sarida Khan finally decided to give in. He sent emissaries to the Crimean region, expressing his readiness to come to an agreement with the Dark Elves. He is willing to acknowledge the Dark Elves' occupation of the Crimean peninsula. In exchange, the Dark Elves stopped invading other Tartarian territories and ports along the Black Sea coast, and allowed the merchants of Tartaria to continue their trade.
Of course, the Fatimid woman of the dark elves, Sudan, did not want to accept this condition at first. She wanted more than that. Especially now, when the crusaders of the Knights of the Holy Sword are raging and have threatened the back of Sarida Khan.
At the same time that Sarida Khan sent an emissary to the Fatimid female Sudan, the female Sudan also sent an emissary to the Knights of the Holy Sword, the newly baked Grand Master Siboland. I hope that he can form an alliance with him, and then fight from the north and south to destroy the henchman of Sarida Khan.
The female Sudan's plan is very good. The strategy is not bad either. If the humans of the North and the South, the Dark Elves really unite. Then the balance of power in the great border areas will once again be upset. An army of 200,000 to 300,000 humans and dark elves will overwhelm the Tartarya Khanate in power.
In this way, the female Sudan will get more. Not just the Crimean peninsula, half of Tronika will be controlled by her. And in such a change of strength and weakness, the Tartarya Khanate will become more passive than ever. Female Sudan is even certain. In the next Ninth Armenian War, she would have won the final victory for the Ottoman Empire......
It's just that the situation is a little different from what the Fatimid woman Sudan thought. Grand Master Ciberland rightly rejected the offer of an alliance with the Dark Elves. And, in order to show his legitimacy, to show that he, the Grand Master, represents justice, piety, truth, goodness, and beauty. He did not hesitate to hack the messenger of the Dark Elves to death - for he was a Dark Elf.
When the news came, the Fatimid woman Sudan was bewildered and furious. Feeling insulted, she was eager to rally her troops and cut off Cibeland's head. But alas, she can't. Because they were separated by a large number of men and horses of the Tartariya Khanate.
So, despite her reluctance, the female Sudan agreed to the peace of the Tartarya Khanate. After extorting another war reparation, a non-aggression pact was signed with the Tartarya Khanate. Then a small garrison was left with a garrison navy. returned to the DPRK with a large army......
This time, the female Sudan spent a lot of strength and manpower. The Dark Elves dispatched nearly 200,000 naval and army forces in total. And of these 200,000 troops lying on the Isthmus of Perekop, there are more than 30,000...... However, the results of the dark elves were not as much as expected.
The Crimean peninsula, as a springboard for an attack on the Tartarya Khanate, was not too qualified. As long as the Perekop Isthmus exists, then this moat is enough to stop thousands of troops.
At the same time, though, it's not right to say that the Dark Elves have made a loss-making deal.
The gains and losses in Crimea alone are nothing. But the supremacy of the Black Sea is crucial. The next time, if the Dark Elves want to attack the Tartariya Khanate again, they can land on any of the shores of the Black Sea. In addition, the maritime trade, which was vital to the Tartariya Khanate, had also become hostage at the hands of the dark elves. As long as the female Sudan likes it, she can cut the arteries of the centaurs in Tartaria at any time.
In this way, the strategic initiative for the Tartarya Khanate was in hand. If there is another war between the two sides, then the dark elves will not have to fight, and they will be invincible at the beginning of the war.
Of course, even though it is so, although it is said that it is so, but the Fatimid woman Sudan is still very, very, very unhappy. He was haunted by the fact that William took advantage of her and then sold her. She's not a big-hearted person. Whenever she has the chance, she will definitely give William the fiercest revenge.
In this way, although a certain amount of armed forces are maintained on the Crimean peninsula and in the Black Sea region. But with the return of the Fatimid Sudan to Istanbul, the Ottoman Empire became the first country to withdraw from the Second Great Border War.
And after confirming the retreat of the Ottoman's army of dark elves. Sarida Khan was finally free to pay off a blood debt.
Compared to the dark elves who invested a lot and had a slight surplus, Tartaria's centaurs were much more struggling. They have killed countless people and lost countless funds, wealth, and resources. But in this war, they got nothing. Not only did they gain nothing, but they lost a lot of things.
And things like the Crimean peninsula, the free trade of the Black Sea, after being controlled by the Ottomans, it is very difficult to get them back. If the Fatima woman Sudan is obsessed, then Sarida Khan, who has lost so many things, is almost crazy.
Approaching madness, he has no interest in continuing to play the role of an enlightened king. The brutality and desire to kill that belonged to the centaurs in the depths of the blood once again took over. After this, he concentrated the 200,000 troops of the Tartarya Khanate, from the troops that had attacked Ruthenia and Pillm, and the soldiers who had been urgently conscripted from the Cuman-Chincha steppes.
He led the 200,000-strong army to the north. Prepare for trouble with the Crusaders.
"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you all!"
The killing intent in Sarida Khan's heart continued to rise. Even with it, the feeling of revenge also infected the soldiers under his command. The 200,000-strong army slaughtered towards the north with great momentum.
In the face of the vengeful 200,000 centaurs and nomadic army, close to the crazy Sarida Khan, the first to bear the brunt is the knightly crusade of the Holy Sword Knights, with 50,000 soldiers, the pretentious Grand Master of Siberland!
