Chapter 12 Odessa Pasha (Part 2)

 At this moment, an Ottoman cavalry ran over.

"Hiss..."

The cavalry stopped the war horses about ten feet away from Aladdin. The front hooves of the war horses jumped high and made a long neigh.

"Pasha, the Truqins are here"

The secretary around Aladdin (Pasha's assistant, who is proficient in literature and arithmetic) is a person from the Koplulu family, whose full name is Koplulu Abdullah.

The name of Abdullah (the servant of the Lord) is like Celing among the Mongols at this time, as numerous as a cow. No one is called Koplulu now, so we call him Koplulu.

As soon as he heard this, Koplulu's eyes lit up. He said to Aladdin: "We might as well borrow money from the Truchens. If we recover the land seized by the Russians in the future, we will give them a piece of it."

At this time, due to its full silver content, Truqin silver coins have not only become popular in the entire Islamic world, but have also gradually become popular in Europe.

However, Aladdin obviously doesn't want to do this, because Pasha Aziz of West Georgia was his relative, and Aziz died at the hands of the Truchens. Aladdin could not erase the shame of this family.

"Let's talk about it, see them first"

At Mecklef Hall, Aladdin met with Wobasi and his party.

Obviously, the scene not long ago was Aladdin deliberately making things difficult for them. If Wobasi was not there, they would have been outside for longer.

Aladdin didn't dare to be too lazy about Wobasi, so he gritted his teeth and greeted him.

After seeing their "gorgeous" clothes that resemble European military uniforms, his mind changed.

"I didn't expect that the Mongols who had always thought that the barbaric and backwardness had begun to become decent. They had just defeated the Junggar people not long ago and must have seized a lot of money. Well, let's borrow some from them first."

"What if Europe can help our country defeat the Russians and give up a piece of land?"

"If you still lose to the hands of the Russians, you don't have to exchange this money, hehe"

"Cough cough", thinking of this, he coughed lightly, "Your Highness, I didn't know you were in the mission just now, and my subordinates did not inform him in time. I have sent someone to scold him severely. This will never happen in the future"

Wobaxi smiled and said, "Nothing, it's all a misunderstanding."

Aladdin nodded, "Actually, the prince hasn't come, I'm going to send someone to your country."

"Oh?"

"Since His Highness, the prince has arrived in person, it will save a lot of effort. I am going to discuss a major event with your country"

"What's the matter?"

Aladdin revealed a huge map near the Sea of ​​Azov, which was marked in Turkic text.

"This is the Azov Fortress, this is Mariupol, this is the buffer zone for discussion between our country and the Poles"

"If your country can help our country defeat the Russians and restore the Azov Fortress, I can make the decision. To the west of the Sea of ​​Azov, the south bank of the Don River can be allocated to your country, and the areas in the east coast of the Azov Sea, including the Azov Fortress will be recovered by our country"

People like Aladdin are indispensable for meanness and greed, but it is definitely a military trick to make Sudan feel at ease in important border areas.

He also knew that after the last Russian attack, the strength of the Crimean Khanate was greatly reduced. Although there was secret support from the Truchens, it was a dream to rely on them alone to resist the Russian army.

If a nail is inserted between the Sea of ​​Azov and the Black Sea, or a tough nail, it can save a lot of time for the empire to be arranged calmly and dispatch.

Anyway, the Truchens were still sandwiched between the Ottomans and the Russians, and they could be controlled at any time.

Also, a silver Truchen coin is almost the same as an Ottoman gold coin. If you can borrow hundreds of thousands from them, you can not only fill up all the shipyards and weapons workshops along the Black Sea coast, but also take out a fleet that is enough to compete with the Russians' Azov fleet as soon as possible.

For the Truchens, although they took over the north of the Crimean Peninsula, they could only set out from Yesk through the Sea of ​​Azov to reach this place. If they wanted to travel calmly, they had to cross the Don River to attack Eastern Ukraine and take down Donetsk.

In this way, it will free up a lot of time for the empire.

Wobasi did not reply to him immediately, and he did not have the qualifications, let alone he knew that Aladdin could say this, and he must have laid a big premise in advance.

"Okay", but after so many things, he gradually became familiar with it. Although he did not agree, he still applauded and had a hint of unconcealed greed.

Aladdin smiled and said, "You know that our country's territory is too wide and its borders are too long. A large amount of military power has consumed too much money. Nowadays, Truqin silver coins are very popular. It is expensive. It is the time of friendship between our two countries. I wonder if your country can lend a sum of silver. The mortgage is this land!"

Wobaxi couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "This deal is really cost-effective"

But he said, "No problem, I don't know how much Pasha needs, what are the specific conditions?"

Aladdin said carelessly: "It's better to have 500,000 silver coins. If it really doesn't work, 300,000 are fine..."

"What if we can't defeat the Russian army?"

Aladdin nodded, "I have considered this section. In the past, when our country sold Yeshik, it was for the sake of vigorously assisting your country, and only charged a very small fee. Your country is now strong, and our country is temporarily facing difficulties."

"Yeyisk is worth 300,000 silver coins"

"And," a strange look flashed in his eyes, "In the north of our country, there is a buffer zone about 500 miles long and 100 miles wide. You have just been to Poland, and you are obviously very friendly to them."

"I can make the decision here. If I can't defeat the Russian army, how about Yesk adding the buffer zone? You must know that the buffer zones were all from our country before."

Wobasi nodded, "Pasha is intent, but this fact is too great. I need to go back and report to Khan"

"That's natural. I suggest you go back immediately. From early to mid-November, there will be a huge storm on the Black Sea for a period of time. In a few days, ice will appear on the shore."

"Also, there is one of your own merchant ships parked here. I hope to get a reply from your Khan as soon as possible"

Wobassy wanted to make a walk in Mecklef, but after hearing what Aladdin said, the humiliation he received from the Russians not long ago suddenly surged up again, but he still held it back.

After having a meal in the official hall, they arrived at the dock.

The Nanbuge River is indeed an extremely wide and magnificent river. It is calm and the river water is also dark, showing its great depth.

The other side of the river is also shady. Such a place is indeed an excellent place for a large port and a shipbuilding workshop.

On the dock, Wobasi saw a ship from Truchen at a glance, with a sharp head and a wide tail, with three masts. This is a European transport ship that is imitated by the Lagan Port Shipyard, with a full load displacement of about 500 tons.

There were not many people on the dock, and it was also the outpost where the confrontation with Russia. Russian warships and Ottoman warships appeared from time to time. They called warships, but perhaps inspired by the British, if they encountered a single merchant ship, they would still rob.

However, Truchen's status is a bit special. They are nominally a vassal state of Russia and are friendly to the Ottomans. Generally speaking, neither Russian warships nor Ottoman warships will make their decisions.

A Truqin flag was hanging on the main mast. When they came to the dock, a strong west wind blew over and the flag fluttered violently.

Deng Ce, the captain of the merchant ship, met them, and when he saw them, he quickly came over. When he stepped into the cabin, he stood up and looked at them with a smile on his face.

Yesmu!

Wobaxi's heart moved, "Yesmu had already come here with the ship, but he did not go ashore. He was obviously avoiding Aladdin"

Then he asked, "Ambassador, why are you here too? Why don't you go ashore to visit the new Pasha?"

After seven or eight years of training, Yesmu, the former camel hunter, has long been a middle- and high-level figure in the Khanate who is not as good as he is, and has a light weight. After hearing Wobasi's question, he did not answer immediately, but asked them to sit down first.

"Aladdin was a relative of Pasha Aziz, West Georgia, who was very hostile to us, and his relative married the new Sultan as a concubine, and was very talkative in the Sultan"

"When I was in Istanbul, I learned that he was going to succeed Odessa Pasha and quickly prepared gifts to visit him, but was turned away. In addition, I was treated coldly at the Sudan ceremony, so I knew something was wrong"

"I immediately visited the Sultan's secretary, a man from the Kopruri family. After seeing him, the Sultan agreed to see me and promised that the policy toward our country in the era of Mahmoud I remained unchanged, but it left a barrier in the end"

Wobasi curled his lips, "What did they think? Do they want to offend our country and Russia at the same time? If we annoy us, we will cross the Caucasus Mountains and assist the King of West Georgia to expel the Ottoman garrison and occupy a series of ports on the eastern coast of the Black Sea!"

Yesmu shook his head, "It's not that simple. From the current perspective, Ottoman and Russia are still a behemoth to our country. We must be careful when every step we take"

"If you start a fight with a disagreement, there will be no current situation in our country"

Only then did Wobaxi realize that he had been fucked just now, so he told him about Aladdin.

Ye Simu listened with a serious look on his face, and after a while, he said, "Huntaiji, you shouldn't tell me about this matter, but since I have said it, I have the obligation to participate in this matter"

"First of all, although our country is not rich, we can still get 100,000 silver coins, but Khan will not agree with his conditions so easily. The Melitopol area is naturally good, but once we take this place, our country will be hit by the Russians' sleepless blow"

"At that time, it would be easy to say if everything was ready in our country, but if it was not ready, it would be bad"

"The Khan once taught us a lesson, saying that there was a South Korea in ancient China. He once gave a piece of land to Zhao to avoid the attacks of the powerful Qin State and then led the disaster to Zhao State"

"The reason we were able to take over Yeshik last time was because our ranch was next to it and could be taken care of at any time"

"But the west coast of the Sea of ​​Azov is different. To stabilize this place, you must deal a heavy blow to the Russian army in a war that determines the destiny of the country. It is best to fix the entire lower Don River basin in the form of a treaty"
