Chapter 37 Crimea! (4) Current situation of the peninsula

 From this person, I think of one thing, and then look at Dion, who is dressed in a woman, and Qitad's thoughts will become clear.

In the past, the plan that he gave up after sniping Rumentsev was rekindled.

He asked both of them to stay, and Douglas, a French full-time spy, was about to stay at Truchen, and Dion, who had been freely circulating with Queen Elizabeth, was about to be sent to St. Petersburg.

Of course, for these spies, the way of dying fellow Taoists is common in the world, and he doesn't care about Douglas's life or death.

But he still cares about money.

Qitad promised him three thousand Truchen silver coins, which was similar to three thousand francs, which was a huge sum for Dion, not to mention that he was familiar with going to St. Petersburg.

So I just hesitated and agreed.

Although France and Russia were an alliance at this time, as a military intelligence officer, it was appropriate to know the movements of friendly forces in advance. I believe the French king would not object.

More importantly, Dion was also a three-sided spy. He served the French king, the Russian Tsar, and the Prussian king at the same time. He could return to the German battlefield when he returned!

The reason why he and Douglas pretended to start from Southampton was actually from Odessa to complete the mission of King Frederick II of Prussia.

Frederick is now in danger of being surrounded by strong enemies. He can't find a possible friend except Truchen. If he contacts the Ottomans, he will not be able to be the king.

And in later generations, if Empress Elizabeth was not his fan and disciple Peter III, but Caterina, Prussia would have perished.

At this time, he obviously did not realize his situation, but he obviously had a nervous state of mind.

Wobasi continued to go to the Crimean Peninsula.

Accompanied by Deng Ce, the head of the Intelligence Department in charge of Polish affairs, Obasi and Adir boarded a Truchen Khanate's own merchant ship.

This is a merchant ship that has no steam engines and artillery, no different from Yeshik's warships. It is loaded with 300 tons. It is currently the largest merchant ship on the sea of ​​Azov, larger than those from Britain and France.

In early spring, the last gust of cold wind from Siberia was still raging on the Azov Sea. After the ship successfully left the port of Yesk, it went south along the west coast of the Azov Sea and arrived at the Kerch Strait soon!

"Huntaiji"

After learning that Wobaxi and his mountain regiment were used to wipe out the Chechen guerrillas, Deng Ce also admired him very much and welcomed him to return to the foreign affairs/information portal.

"This Crimean Khanate is very strange. Except for the Jaboyruknogae people who are nomad on the southern slope of the Krim Mountain, all the rest are Tatars. They occupy pastures and castles, but in the vastness of the world

There are also a lot of farmland between the pastures and castles”

"The Tatars have plundered a large population from Europe, mainly Russia and Poland for hundreds of years. It is said that there are as many as millions. Most of them are sold to Istanbul through the port of Kafa on the peninsula, becoming the Ottoman Empire Jeniche

The important source in

"But hundreds of thousands of people stayed on the peninsula, they were the main components of the serfs of the Crimean Khanate. Of course, there were some white people from the European continent before, mainly Genoese from the Italian Peninsula and from Germany.

Saxons in the region”

"The Tatars did not know how to farm, so they let the Saxons control the serfs as landlords, and the Genoese manage the city as their deputy"

"Not to say, this method has allowed it to last for hundreds of years"

"At present, all castles in the southeastern part of the Peninsula, including Kerch, are directly under the jurisdiction of the Ottoman Empire, but Crimean nobles can also live in the city"

"On the peninsula, the Tatars had three noble families. The Grey family was descended from the Golden Family. The Khans all came from this family. They controlled the trade routes and foreign taxes on the peninsula."

"The eastern part of the peninsula is the territory of the Xilin family. Their old nest is near the city of Solhart, north of the eastern end of Krim Mountain, which was formerly the Governor's Office under the jurisdiction of the Peninsula by the Golden Horde."

(Solhart City, later generations of old Krim)

"They control the herders and farmers in the eastern part of the peninsula with Solhart as the center. Needless to say, the herders are the best people of the Khanate. In addition to being obliged to serve in the military service of the Khanate, they only go to the Xilin family.

Swear allegiance”

"The grain tax is the Grain family, and the Xilin family is divided into two"

"The west of the peninsula is controlled by the Mahesur family, which is similar to the Xilin family. Only the central part of the peninsula is the territory directly controlled by the Grey family, mainly descendants of the Qixue army who followed Tuhua Timur in the past"

"The Mahesur family's nest is Yevpatoria to the west. It used to be a Genoese castle, but later it was occupied by the Mahesur family"

"The Grey family obviously will not let these two families become completely bigger. There are still a large number of Nogai people on both sides of the Dnieper River on the north side of the peninsula"

"The Noge people on the east are centered on Melitopol, and there are castles there, but the castles are jointly managed by Yedikurenoge tribe and the Grey family"

"It is only effective for the Grey family to come forward during the recruitment. The one who guards Melitopol is the Khan's cousin, Sultan Nurdin,"

"The Nogae people in the west are mainly Yedishan tribes, mainly Olbia as the center, and are also jointly managed by the Nogae people and the Grey family, and are guarded by Kagar Sultan, another cousin of the Khan."

(Orbia, the harbor city in the east of Odessa in later generations, built by the Greeks)

"The westernmost Nogae city is Bunare, occupied by the Bujak Nogae"

(Bunale, later Tatar Bunare, you can tell what's going on when you hear this name)

"Norgai Maulla Afanti, who has been to Mecca for ten years, came from the Yedishan tribe in the middle. This person is also the uncle of Dajiajiang Manbert of Yedishan tribe. Therefore, Yedi

The Yama tribe is the most critical among the four major divisions of Nogai”

(Avanti, whose full name is Abdullah Karim Avanti, is the religious leader of all the Noga people)

Wobasi immediately heard the clue from here.

"I guess this Avanti is the highest prestige among the three major divisions of Yedishan, Yedikule and Jaboyruk. The Bujaks are close to the Ottoman territory, so they must be most influenced by them."

"Absolutely"

"Then we..."

"Since this is the case, we naturally do not land in Kerch Port, but go to Kafa Port. From there, we get off the boat and head west, the city of Solhart on the northern foot of the Krim Mountain"

(Solhart City, later generations of old Krim)

Wobasi asked: "At present, Odessa, Crimea, is the Sultan's brother-in-law Aladdin under the jurisdiction?"

“Yes”

....

Riding on the strong northeast wind, the ship quickly arrived at the Port of Kafa.

According to the agreement between Crimea and Truchen, all ships and personnel on board who have passed through both parties and registered with each other can enter the other country with "face signing".

Although the city of Cafa (the largest slave trade center on the northern coast of the Black Sea in the later years and until now) was directly controlled by the Ottomans, Odessa Pashasa Ladin of Ottoman received a loan from Qitad.

The Truchens followed the visa-free approach.

After entering Kafa City without paying any fees, Wobasi and his party rested in the hotel opened by the Truchens themselves in the city.

After entering the hotel, Wobaxi immediately asked: "Deng Ce, why are there more Jews on the street now?"

"It's not because of Catholic countries like France and Spain for the so-called purity of the country"

"It's not just these."

"Of course there are other factors. At present, whether it is Spain or France, the domestic financial situation is not good under the pressure of the aggressive British. Especially France, they are the main force in attacking Prussia on the Eastern Front and want to maintain such a large team.

The military's expenditures and its own finances are not good, so we can only pay attention to it."

"The Jews in Europe are good at doing business. They are not bad in Protestant countries for the time being, but they are rats crossing the street in Catholic countries. The country usually asks them to increase their business taxes. Once an emergency occurs, they will take action against them."

/p>

"In the past 10 or 20 years, France's large-scale foreign wars have almost never stopped. The finances are naturally extremely tense, so we use the same trick again, and naturally a large number of Jews flee"

“Compared with Christians, the Islamic people’s attitude towards Jews is much more relaxed”

"What's more, this is the territory of the Josa Khanate, which once believed in Judaism, and there are still some believers who believe in the religion. Therefore, there have been a lot more Jews immigrating to the Crimean Peninsula in recent years"

"It's more than that?"

"Huntaiji guessed well. The Crimean Tatars used the Genoese to control castles and commerce, but they were definitely not completely relieved. It was also appropriate for the Jews to balance them."

"They often set up the mayor position in the city, mostly using Genoese, but the Jews were the ones who collected taxes"

"The current patriarch of the Xilin family, who occupies the eastern part of the peninsula, is a young man. He just returned from studying in France and speaks fluent Latin. He also likes to live in Cafa City and often meets Genoese and Jews."

"By the way, when he came back, he brought a Frenchman, who was said to be his teacher. He is very famous in Europe but is not popular with the Tatars. He should still live in Kafa...

.”

As he was talking, a noise came from outside the hotel.

After a while, Adil came over.

"Huntaiji, a celebrity in the city is traveling, and everyone is watching"

"Celebrity? Who is it?"

"Who else is naturally the great noble who lives here for a long time, the patriarch of the Xilin family, Xilin Mansour, and his French teacher Diderot"

"Diderot?"

Wobassey suddenly thought of the French spy Dion who often held a book in his hand, called "thinking on explaining nature", and the author was Diderot!

Wobaxi smiled and said, "It's better to meet you than to miss me, but I'd better go and see the fun."

Several people walked out together. At this time, a luxury carriage was moving away. Wobaxi quickly ran. Because there were many onlookers, the carriage was not fast.

Wobasi finally ran to the front of the carriage.

I saw two people sitting side by side, one with a common instant noodles hairstyle, a typical European image, and the other with a Turkic image with long hair, fair face, black hair fluttering in the wind, and a red ribbon on his forehead

.

When I looked again, everyone was not trying to chase stars, but pointed at them. Obviously, the clothes of these two people annoyed them, such as the Islamic scholars, as if no one else had.

And the Eastern Kong of Wobasi, his strange military uniform, also attracted the two of them.
