The chapters that are updated in the middle of the night are usually anti-daoban chapters. I have tried to choose when it is late at night, and there are few people watching them at this time. △ Generally, anti-daoban chapters will be modified to the correct content at least half an hour.

It's okay to read on the computer, and it's okay to automatically subscribe with the mobile app. As long as I haven't clicked on the chapter before I modified it. Once I clicked on it, the wrong chapter content will be downloaded and entered into the mobile phone cache. At this time, even if I modify the mobile client, it is still the wrong content and will never change.

At this time, you can only download this chapter again. If it doesn’t work, you can only delete the book and remove it, and then add it again and put it on the shelves.

There are few people reading niche books, and daoban is rampant. There is no way, I can't make it if I don't do this, I'm sorry.

******************************************

Since its official founding in 1430, descendants of Badu’s younger brother Tuhua Timur have been ruling the Crimean Peninsula and some grassland areas north of it, and have been more than 200 years.

During these two hundred years, they developed from a governor-general area of ​​the Golden Horde (limited to the inland of the Crimean Peninsula) to a grassland kingdom with vast territory and no less than 100,000 string control men (of course, when fully mobilized, usually dispatching 40,000 to 50,000 cavalry is the limit). They defected to the Ottomans, expelled the ******* colonists, fought with the Grand Duke of Lithuania, and snatched Moscow. They even coveted the throne of the Golden Horde Khanate, but these were eventually blown away by the rain and wind, becoming passing clouds. The current Crimean Khanate is just a nomadic kingdom that plays balance between Poland, Russia and the Ottomans. Life is neither good nor bad, but it seems difficult to go further.

Gao Wengang rode a horse and headed towards Bekchisale, the capital of the Crimean Khanate. They came ashore at the port near the small town of Balaclava, which was controlled by the Ottomans and not far from the famous Sevastopol in the later generations. Of course, this place is a wasteland under the control of the Crimean Khanate. Last year, Muhammad Grey Khan designated this as the direct trade place between the East Coast and Crimea to avoid the unbearable taxes of the Kafa Port (here is an Ottoman territory) and promised that all East Coast goods would be exempted from taxes, except for the private tribute they should hand over to the Great Khan.

The East Coast people naturally had no objection to this. They did want to reduce the trade costs. After all, although the Ottomans in Kafa were very low, they had a lot of chaotic levies, which led to many unnecessary expenses. After agreeing to trade directly, the South China Sea Transportation Company, a large state-owned enterprise in the East Coast, naturally obtained the construction and fifty-year operation rights of the Port of Haji (Sevastopol, which commemorated the founding monarch of Crimea, Haji Grey). They planned to build a small terminal and merchant station here as a port of import and export for goods and a distribution center for some slaves.

As for why not all slaves sold in Haji Port, isn’t this nonsense? It’s not to take care of the interests of Jewish merchants who have been operating the slave trade in Kafari? You should know that behind these people are many Ottoman masters and cannot be neglected. Therefore, female slaves are still buying here, but prisoners of war produced by the war have to slowly turn to Haji Port. After all, there are not so many messy tax donations here, and the cost is even lower.

Back to the point, this time Gao Wengang was ordered to change the seat with Li Qing from Kafa, that is, Li Qing was transferred to Riga Trading Station to clean up the mess there, and Gao Wengang began to host the business from Kafa.

After coming to the Black Sea by boat from the tense Baltic Sea, Gao Wengang originally wanted to go straight to the port of Kafa, but because he still had some business to discuss with the Grekhan of Crimea, he went ashore in the small port of Balaclava (Balakrava, Sudak, Kafa and Azov on the coast of the Crimean Peninsula, etc., which were all the territory obtained by the Ottomans to expel the *******s and never handed over to the Tatars), and then rode a horse to the Khanate's capital, Bexsachlai, a city built in the 13th century during the Mongol conquest.

"Since the Great Mongolian moved the capital from Khalahelin to Dadu (Beijing), commercial cities such as Bekchisale and Solhard have begun to decline. Oriental goods no longer gather here, but are replaced by endless wars." The speaker was an East Coast official in his thirty years old, named Malati, who graduated from the first phase of the Corps Fort. He was of Tatar descent, and was the eldest son of Zampalini. He grew up on the East Coast since childhood. He has refined the Tatar language and Crimean history. He is the famous "Tatartong" in the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. He has worked at the Kafa Trading Station for more than a year and has been deeply appreciated by Li Qing and Ma De.

"But fortunately, the descendants of Turtle eventually ruled the land, and Bekchisale was designated as the capital. Later, the country relied on the power of the Ottoman Turks to break away from the control of the Golden Horde, and then through a series of wars and changes in the international situation, it obtained a large amount of the legacy of the Golden Horde. The military strength grew rapidly and has become an important force in the nearby areas. All forces rushed to win over, and the Ottomans were extremely generous to them, and their control was not as strong as those of Moldavia and Transylvania. This can be seen from the diplomatic autonomy given to them by the Ottomans that in addition to Poland, the foreign policy of the Crimean Khanate needs to be given to the Ottoman in advance.

Except for the Empire's report, everything else is independent - in short, this is a country with great autonomy. Of course, the territory and population are large enough: the Crimean Tatars are no less than 500,000. If the children born to slaves and slaves from various countries captured over the years (these people will eventually become Tatarized), the total population of this country is probably nearly one million, and it should not be underestimated." Malati's statement continued, "Of course, the economy of the Crimean Khanate is extremely primitive, to an outrageous level, and the industrial level of their nominal suzerain country, the Ottoman Empire, was also very average, especially the industries related to people's livelihood, which also gave my country's business community the opportunity..."

Gao Wengang nodded slightly when he heard this. As a senior official on the East Coast in Europe, he naturally has the right to understand the trade data of the East Coast in various commercial stations and even regions. Although the Crimean Khanate's trade territory on the East Coast is not eye-catching and remote, it must not be underestimated. Because this country is really primitive and has extremely low productivity, it is a bit of money, materials and population because of the fortunes (wars in the surrounding areas frequently occur). This has made their purchasing power quite a lot.

The improvement has a strong digestion ability for commodities from the East Coast - weapons and ammunition, spirits, tobacco, textiles, dyed leather, metal farm tools, sugar, cocoa, coffee, etc. are all things they like to buy. The largest batch of goods imported from them on the East Coast were always slaves (mainly female slaves), followed by livestock and a small amount of art and jewelry (looted from Poland, Russia and other countries). In short, the trade between the two sides was extremely complementary. In 1657, the annual trade volume exceeded 1.2 million yuan, which was extremely amazing.

"This time I heard that Grey Khan captured more than 16,000 Transylvanian prisoners of war in Poland. We are expected to eat it at an extremely low price. After all, the Tatars have robbed everywhere in recent years, and the number of slaves on hand is already extremely large. Wouldn't it be strange if the price of this slave does not drop!" Gao Wengang looked at the endless prairie intoxicatedly and said with a smile. He had just seen the outline of Bekchisale City, and a noble man from the Crimean Khanate who accompanied them had also sent his followers to the city to report.

To be fair, Beckiczalai City is not a magnificent city. Needless to mention the cities on the east coast, many small counties in the Ming Dynasty are no less than her. Perhaps it is just a lack of scale. However, under the guidance of the people on the east coast, Grey Khan has made up his mind to update the city defense facilities in various places in recent years. The first step is to start from the capital Beckiczalai City. After Gao Wengang and others approached, they saw a deep moat dug outside the city. The originally old city walls were also demolished, renovated, and reinforced. For this reason, Grey Khan conscripted more than 80,000 slaves from Poland, Ukraine, Russia and Moldavia to work. It seems that they were determined to manage their lair well.

In addition to the capital Beckiczale, Mad also successfully fooled Grey Khan to build a series of castles and forts near the Isthmus of Pilekop in later generations. Although grassland men have always disliked building cities, Grey Khan, who has been repeatedly touched by the enemy's strong city cannons in recent years, was deeply aware of the differences between modern warfare. Therefore, after consulting the price of East Coast City Artillery, Dahan made up his mind to start building a fort near the isthmus. According to the plan, four bastions that are only more than one kilometer apart will be built within a short eight-kilometer isthmus. For this reason, Grey Khan will import up to 96 types of city defense cannons (including spare cannons) from the east coast, some spare parts, special tools and other things. The total contract amount exceeded 125,000 yuan (including the cost of training artillery), which once attracted the attention of the Ottomans.

Of course, the reason why Mohamed Grey Khan agreed to build the isthmus fortress was not entirely fooled by the East Coast people. The reason was mostly because of their concerns about the future of their country. Over the years, Grey Khan's army had difficulty gaining advantage in both the Russian army and the regular Polish army. Khan himself may not understand the disadvantages of cavalry in the infantry equipped with a large number of firearms, but he knew that the era of Tatar cavalry might have been gone forever, so he agreed to build a fortress near the isthmus, in order to have the ability to resist the enemy's respite in the future.

Gao Wengang and others stayed in Beckiczale City for two days, and then a messenger who came from another place apologized to tell the East Coast that the Khan had summoned the 20,000 cavalry troops on the grassland and would go westward to Transylvania in the past few days (they had already entered Transylvania with the Polish army). The 16,000 Transylvanian prisoners of war they had captured before - this is a "sad" story,

The Prince of Transylvania led 30,000 people to attack Poland to get a bargain. Later, the war was unfavorable to retreat. As a result, he was intercepted by Tatar cavalry during the retreat. The prince himself led only 300 cavalry to flee back to the country, and almost wiped out the entire army - he could be sold to the East Coast people at a discount (35 yuan per person). Of course, they would try to collect as many young women in Transylvania and even Hungary. If the East Coast needs it, they could eat it together and deliver it in Haji Port.

Gao Wengang was of course overjoyed and immediately promised the Tatars' conditions and paid a deposit of 30,000 yuan to show his sincerity. After all this, he hurriedly bid farewell to the Tatars and then headed to the port of Kafa, where there was a last batch of more than 5,000 Moldavian female slaves waiting for him to pay the bills. The war has been going on, and the slave trade of the East Coast people has been flying, greatly enriching the domestic labor force and the number of women, which undoubtedly means the growth of national strength.

The reason was mostly because of their concerns about the future of their country.
