Chapter 34 Crimea! (1) Businessmen from “Britain”(1/2)

 Spring returns to the earth, and the new year (1760) has arrived.

In the past few years, although the Truchen Khanate has launched a large-scale attack, it is still safe and sound, with only two reasons.

First, Elizabeth, the queen of the Tsarist Russian Empire, is already in her twilight years. She has stayed up late to hold a dress dance for a long time, and her fear of her successor problem has damaged her body. In the past two years, she has fainted at the dance scene from time to time. Russian ministers know it well.

She has not had much time left.

Even the Russian army, which was involved in the Seven Years of Britain and France not long ago and fought with Frederick the Great in Prussia, would occasionally receive news of the Queen's death, which caused the withdrawal of the army.

Then there is the Russian-Prussian War. At this time, Frederick the Great was really a strange figure. At the same time, he even supported the three behemoths of Russia, France, and Austria (Holy Roman Empire).

Even so, Frederick only placed a small number of troops on the Western Front to guard the coalition forces led by the French, and placed the main force of Prussia on the Eastern Front to compete with the Russians.

Frederick, who is the one who has almost expanded the territory of Prussia by himself, expanding the kingdom's population from about three million to five million.

And vigorously implemented diplomatic, finance, finance, military, industry, mining, and serf reforms at home. Except for the last one, the aristocratic opposition was not very effective, but they achieved remarkable results in other aspects.

This is also the reason why he was able to be domineering in Europe.

Of course, just like Napoleon in later generations, rising like a comet, attracting a large group of European fans, like fans, and Frederick is the same. His biggest fan is naturally Queen Elizabeth, and his biggest fan is the Tsar.

Nephew, Peter III, the husband of Catherine Elder.

At this time, even without Rumentsev and Suvorov, famous generals were still emerging one after another. In the recent battle, only half of the elite were the Russian troops who were temporarily recruited. The Russian troops were still short of the time being.

You can imagine it by conquering Konisburg, the capital of East Prussia, just one thing.

If it weren't for Empress Elizabeth's rule, it would be a problem to destroy the Prussian Kingdom with Austria with Russia, because at this time there were still several famous generals no less than Rumentsev and Suvorov.

In any case, it is a fact that the Russian army's actions in East Prussia prevented them from going to war on the southern front again.

The Russian army had to go to war on the southern front until the Poles in Western Ukraine were ready to rise. At that time, Frederick was domineering and used Poland as bait to lure Russia to give up his attacks and divide Poland.

Lay the foundation for the rise of Prussia and even modern Germany.

Once the Russian army reaches Western Ukraine, its pace will not stop, and a new Russian-Turkish war will surely take place.

Speaking of which, the situation of the Prussian Kingdom is quite similar to that of the Truchen Khanate. Both are small in population, but the kings are all heroes of a generation, and they have fought a bloody path in a dangerous situation.

A new situation is coming, and the key to this situation is in one place.

Crimea.

At this time, in the Black Sea and the Azov area, except for Zaporoze and Azov, a few places such as the Russians have occupied it, and most of the coastal areas are still in the hands of the Crimean Khanate and the Ottoman Empire.

Unlike the highly central autocratic regime of the Truchen Khanate, the Crimean Khanate is a loose alliance.

By the 18th century, it was divided into two major ethnic groups in its country. One was the Crimean Tatars, which were mixed with the Mongols and various Turks and Europeans. Most of them lived on the Crimean Peninsula.

.

After a long period of evolution, the Crimean Tatars were divided into three major forces:

The Xilin family located in the eastern part of the peninsula and the Mahesur family located in the western part of the peninsula. They were both founders of the Khanate. The descendants of the generals when Badu’s younger brother Tuhua Timur founded the Khanate at that time, which was equivalent to two ten thousand men.

The Haji Grey family, descended from the Bald Timur, occupy the central part of the Iranian Peninsula.

On the west coast of the Sea of ​​Azov north of the peninsula, there are a large number of Noga people distributed on the north coast of the Black Sea. Speaking of this Noga people, it is also a hodgepodge, a large mixture of Scythian, Mongolian, and Turkic, they have multiple ones.

The figure of the dynasty.

The Hunter Empire of Attila, the Khanate of Xhosa, the Peccheneg Khanate, the Hunter, the Xhosa, and the Peccheneg are now called Nogae.

Nogai, in Mongolian, is actually "dog".

Originally, the base camp of the Nogai people was near the Caspian Sea, but was massacred by Xiaoyuz Kazakhs and Turkuts. After being driven away, most of them moved to the west coast of the Sea of ​​Azov and the north coast of the Black Sea. Now only the east coast is left.

A Kubanogai man.

One thing can be seen from here, and this is the important reason why the Turkuts can persist until now without being destroyed.

That is, whether it was the Tsarist Russian Empire at this time or the Soviet Union in later generations, it generally adopted a strategy of focusing on the various tribes in its territory, rather than killing them all.

Among them, it would be impossible to use Orthodox Church to influence them and thus show their own "Oriental Orthodox" orthodox Church.

At present, the Nogai people who depended on the Crimean Khanate near the Sea of ​​Azov and the Black Sea were also divided into four major tribes, from the Danube to the Don River, as follows:

Bujak;

Ye Dishan;

Jaboyruk;

Yedikule.

In the latest Russian-Turkish war, the Khanate of the Crimean Khanate was able to mobilize 200,000 troops. They implemented a military service system with the eight households drawn three cavalry. From this we can see that the total population of the Khanate is

When there are 500,000 households, about 2 million people!

A very powerful Khanate.

Of course, since the Tsarist Russian Empire built a Great Wall fortress specifically for dealing with them in the Don River and the Dnieper River, the strength of the Khanate has been in a slump.

When the strength of the Khanate declines, the major nobles and tribes in the country will not work so together, which is an inevitable result of historical development.

What's more, at this time, the Khanate Khan's appointment power was in the hands of the Ottoman Empire. In order not to make the Khanate bigger, the Ottoman Empire definitely did not want a talented and stubborn figure to appear in the Khanate.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Therefore, after the 18th century, the Khanate Khan was replaced very frequently, and there were naturally Ottoman and Russia behind it.

Yesk Port.

Wobasi stood on the pier and looked at the turbulent sea of ​​Azov, feeling quite restless.

Since leading the mountain regiment to wipe out the Chechen guerrillas, he thought about it and felt that it was more suitable for him to engage in diplomatic affairs.

Of course, he also saw his own crisis in the eyes of Akton and others, that is, if he stayed in the army for a long time and was promoted to brigade commander, it was only a matter of time before the division commander was established. With his influence, he would become a big part of the field.

There is no problem with the staff.

But that would inevitably affect Qitad.

"I won't join the military chief anymore"

So he became Bayar's deputy and began to make every effort to travel around Europe as the chief secretary of the Foreign Minister.

Adir, a camel-seeking man who had lurked near the Junggar land, became his assistant. This year, Obasi was seventeen and Adir was nineteen. The two of them were preparing to go to the Crimean Khanate with their few entourages.

They obviously carried the mission.

"Second brother, I heard that now Russian Prime Minister Ivan Shuvanov's secretary Panin has been operating in the Khanate, mostly trying to win over the chiefs of the Nogay tribe. Why can't we do this?"

A Khanate that was about to fall apart was also surrounded by a powerful Ottoman Empire. Its destruction was never caused by foreign enemies, but by the disaster.

As a time traveler, Qitad knew this very well.

So he sent Wobasi out again.

"The Grey family, Xilin family, and Mahesur family need not be thought about. They are all descendants of the Badu family and their direct generals. Although they have differences in their domestic interests, they must be consistent when facing the outside world."

"Your focus is those Nogay people"

"Among the four major tribes of the Nogae people, because their great mullah Abdullah Krim Afanti is in the Yedishan tribe, this makes the Ye tribe actually the head of the four major tribes, trying to contact its leader Man

Bet, he is the leader of the Nogay people on the west bank of the Dnieper River”

"His sister married the chief of the Yedikule tribe centered on Melitopol on the east bank of the Dnieper River. Now the chief is gone, leaving behind a ten-year-old boy, now his sister

In holding power”

"In other words, if you win over Manbert, you can win over the Nogae people on both sides of the Dnieper River"

"As far as I know, in the total population of the Crimean Khanate, there are only about 500,000 Tatars, but the Nogai people are as many as 1.5 million, which is completely worth our win"

"As for the Noga people on the south side of the Crimean Peninsula, the number of people is small, and the number of cities in the south is directly under the hands of the Ottomans. These Noga people must have been bribed by the Ottomans long ago.

Don't have to work hard there"

Whipping the salty and wet sea breeze and thinking about Qitad's explanation, Wobasi's mood was slightly better.

At this moment, a large European ship that was rare on the sea of ​​Azov jumped into his eyes.

When the Ottoman Sultan made a promise to Britain and France that the Barbary pirates under their control would not harass their merchant ships, European ships could directly cross the Black Sea to reach the Azov Sea.

At this time, the patterns produced by the Truchen Khanate were more refined and the patterns were more diverse, and cotton cloth, wool materials, and stainless steel products were gradually spread to Europe, and merchants naturally came to hear the news.

Also, the news that Truqin Khanate was good at treating diseases also spread there, and the dignitaries came here at great expense, asking Truqins to treat their diseases.

Of course, Yeysk is nominally a territory of the Ottoman Empire, but now the Truchens and the Ottomans have a good relationship and can successfully arrive at the Truchen Khanate through this port.

Before he was completely guilty of the Russians, Qitad didn't want to know that he had a port in the Sea of ​​Azov.

The big ship slowly sailed into the dock under the leadership of the water diverter, and soon after the docking, a large group of people walked down. In addition to the sailors, there were some European nobles wearing instant noodles.

These people were not concerned about seeing too much, but two of them caught his attention.

A tall and thin figure, about thirty years old, black tuxedo, white shirt, trousers, and a black suitcase.
