Ten days later, news about New Serbia reached Nikolayev.

As the most skilled in building intelligence networks in the world, we have mastered the skills to quickly deliver messages from land (horse) and water (ship).

"Your Majesty, something happened in New Serbia"

"Oh?"

"The Jews there were preparing to move half of the people to Kishinaulai, but they were stopped by the Serbs"

"What qualifications do they have to stop it? Is it..."

"Yes, Your Majesty guessed it well, the Russians intervened. Now they have established two provinces on the east bank of the Dnieper River, Zaporoze and Poltava, plus the adjacent Kursk, a total of three provinces, and officially established the Eastern Ukrainian Front."

"Your old friend Suvorov served as commander-in-chief and governor-general of the front army. After our country completely captured the Nogay area and included the Pavomai buffer zone north of Nikolayev, the lord of New Serbia, Sangovic, found Suvorov in fear."

"Suvorov sent a senior official and secret police leader of Zaporoze Province. Boris, the former clerk of Zaporoze City, went to New Serbia to deal with the matter. Because the incident suddenly happened, our people did not report it in time"

"The Russians obviously do not want our country to take over New Serbia, but they dare not cross the Dnieper River and take it here with great confidence"

"Wait"

Qitad seemed to hear something from it.

"The departure of the Jews is not a big deal for the Serbs and Russians"

"Your Majesty, even though that's the case, Boris is a little expert in making money. He is usually greedy and Suvorov is very strict in his control. The surrounding areas are now under our control. There is no better way to squeeze the local Cossacks and Mongolian herders."

"Whether it is the Cossacks or the herdsmen who moved in our country are suffering, and there is no money for him to exploit, so he set his sights on the Jews in New Serbia early in the morning"

"In Vinnica, southern Poland, some Jews settled there, but were extorted by the local Polish nobles, United Cossacks, and finally killed all the Jews there and robbed their property."

"With Vinnica's precedent, the New Serbs would not make any noise even if they did the same. So, under Boris' instigation, the New Serbian lord killed all the local Jews, and even the women and children were not spared. The property they obtained was naturally divided into two or one, and they separated from Boris."

"At that time, a merchant ship in our country that went to the place to buy tin ingots happened to be parked with the Jewish ship. Unfortunately, the sailors on the ship were also intercepted by the Serbs"

"Is Sangovich so stupid? The Jews are his good helper!"

"That's natural, but the Serbs are not stupid. In the past ten years, they used the Jews to manage government affairs for them, and on the other hand, they also incorporated Serbs into them. They probably learned the Jews' approach."

"What's more, according to the routine of European Jews cooperating with local aristocrats at this time, the Jews were responsible for levying taxes and managing cities for them. All the lords received were food taxes and fixed commercial taxes. The majority of the fiscal revenue was actually taken away by the Jews."

"Sangovic must have seen this. Also, behind the Jews of the New Serbian is the former Great Vizier Rajpra, the Ottoman Empire. After Rajpra was captured by our country, he naturally released him back because of the Odessa Treaty. As soon as he returned, the Sultan imprisoned him"

"As Rajp loses power, Sangovic is even more confident"

"Also, No. 1 Serbia is one of the few places in Europe that can produce tin mines. Obviously, Russia has promised that all the tin ingots there will be purchased by them in the future, because such things are sought-after everywhere, and Sangovic has not lost it"

"The Jewish trade had nothing to do with him, so he did this. In order to destroy the evidence, he burned the merchant ship of our country, tied all the bodies of the sailors on the ship and sank them into the Ingur River"

"At that time, our country had only one intelligence officer there, and it was obviously powerless to stop this..."

"Wait, our country's intelligence personnel have close ties with the Jews and are usually hidden in their caravans. Haven't they been implicated?"

"Your Majesty, there are more people working for the Jews, and there are even many local Serbs and Cossacks. There is no problem in stuffing one or two in it"

"What's more, since they occupied it under the name of the Islamic Church, there are naturally many Islamic church members. Our intelligence personnel are a local Nogai who joined our country early in the morning."

"He was not working with the Jews, but in Sangovic's residence, he served as a coachman who fed him horses, and the coachman who traveled by Sangovic's family, had been regarded as a trustworthy person by Sangovic's."

"Well, this is almost the same"

Deng Ce was still reporting. He closed his eyes immediately after seeing Qitade after listening to the report, and knew that he was thinking about his strategy to deal with this moment, so he did not dare to disturb him and stayed quietly aside.

After a while, Qitade opened his eyes.

"Since Boris has passed, obviously not alone, have your people observed how many Cossacks he brought with him?"

"There are at least thirty people, because the Cossacks on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are similar in appearance, clothing, and habits. Most people really can't find this, but after these people followed Boris into the city of No. 1 Serbia, they all moved into Sangovic's mansion. As a groom, he naturally noticed it immediately."

"That's not all. In addition to the people from Sangovich who carried out the massacre on the dock, these thirty people also participated. After obtaining the property, they left by boat three days later."

"Well, let's talk about the city defense in No. 1 Serbia"

"Okay. This castle was built ten years ago and is all made of stones. It is not large in scale. It is about three miles in radius, but it is still very strong. The city wall is about two meters high and one meters thick. There are cannons on the city."

"When Sangovic entered the throne, there were about 20,000 Cossacks, Noga people and serfs. There were leaders before, who were under the jurisdiction of Mihau, the lord of Uman City. However, it was independent. Mihau's measures to govern the area were registered for him."

"According to the information provided by Mihau, he registered a total of 100 Cossacks here at that time. The leader at that time was named centurion. When the Serbs entered the throne, all of these 100 Cossacks were killed..."

"Slow down! Don't the remaining Cossacks resist?"

"Your Majesty, there are 20,000 households, most of which are Cossacks. That is to say, there are at least 15,000 Cossacks. After Sangovic killed the 100 registered Cossacks, he immediately registered a thousand people for them. In addition, he relied on the powerful Ottoman Empire, so the remaining Cossacks naturally did not dare to resist."

"In recent years, he has increased the registered Cossacks to 3,000 people. The grain taxes of local farmers and the income from tin ingots are enough to support these registered Cossacks, and the remaining Cossacks are naturally subject to the registered Cossacks."

"Okay, I'll ask you, where is the closest my country's army to No. 1 Serbia?"

"Of course it is the Kafbass Brigade. Now the Kafbass City has been built, the army has trained for three months, and the students have also been enrolled. Prime Minister Su Wenyu and Minister of Works are still there, and there is also a regular battalion in our country."

Qitad nodded, "The matter here is almost over. You should hurry back to Kelsson and drive Kelsson squadron there. By the way, can the canal opened by the Jews allow our warships to sail?"

"Of course, there are several rivers between Novo Serbia and the Dnieper River. The Jews used these rivers to build canals, and the Dnieper River can be directly connected to the Dnieper River from Novo Serbia"

"Okay, you rush back overnight and then take the squadron there early the next morning. By the way, just load a battalion of troops on the ship"

"A camp?"

"Not afraid, I ask Su Wenyu to take the Kraft Bass Brigade north from land..."

"Your Majesty, the Kraftsbass Brigade has just been training for three months, and they are still using flintlock rifles, all of which are half-baby!"

"What are you afraid of? I can guarantee that Sangovic will not dare to go out of the city to fight with us. He will only stick to the city. He will definitely ask for help from the Russians on the other side, but as long as your fleet arrives, the Russians will be helpless"

"By the way, after you arrive, you declare that you will avenge the victims of merchant ship sailors in our country, and ignore the Jewish affairs for the time being"

"Does Your Majesty not want to tie our country to the Jews?"

"Go quickly, you will understand these things in the future"

“Yes!”

....

Ten days later, Su Wenyu brought a regular battalion and a Kafbass brigade who had just finished training arrived outside New Serbia. At the same time, Deng Ce's squadron also arrived at the New Serbian Pier.

As Qitade expected, Sangovic did not dare to come out to fight, but closed the city gates, obviously preparing to stick to it.

On the dock, Su Wenyu and Deng Ce met.

"Prime Minister"

Although he was a little nervous about only carrying one battalion, he was deeply impressed when he saw Su Wenyu with three thousand young soldiers and dared to go north without any fear on his face.

"The battalion I brought with me carried dozens of mortars, and put them around the castle. After a few rounds of debugging, the grenades could be accurately sent to the city wall. Our army could easily occupy a section of the city wall, and after climbing the city wall, they could also quickly occupy all the city walls with their weapons advantages."

Su Wenyu nodded. He obviously understood the purpose of Qitade's request to bring him here with the newly established brigade. He was also an officer. Although he was working on government affairs most of the time, Qitade would also let him lead troops from time to time in order to balance civil servants like him and military officers like Chu Huer.

Otherwise, the identity of a civil servant alone would obviously not be in the eyes of Chu Huer and others.

In my country, because the weapons have the advantage of generational differences, as long as you have a certain military literacy, you can guarantee that you will not make big mistakes. What's more, Su Wenyu was once a brigade commander?

Qitad asked him to come here just to prevent him from completely forgetting about military affairs.

"Can the cannons on the ship blow open the city wall?"

"At present, there are two 24-pound heavy artillery on the flagships of each squadron in my country, but it is not impossible to blow up the pure stone city wall that is as thick as one meter. It will take several days to do it, let alone..."

Su Wenyu smiled and said, "Your Majesty wants to take all the new Serbians into your pocket"
