Chapter 61 The storm is coming

 However, don't think so much about it.

Qitad's rear-mounted flintlock rifle inevitably flowed into Russia, which made the Russians feel both treasured and deeply frightened.

So, although they enthroned Lash as the Khan, they also played tricks. They also enthroned Qitad as the Manechi Khan, obviously in order to create a gap between the father and son.

Although Qitade went north several times to explain to Lash, it is estimated that the effect is not very good.

That's not all. The Russians asked that Wobasi go to Kazan to be a mass-produced. It is probably because they learned that Astrakhan is too close to the Mongols. This time they asked Wobasi to go directly to Kazan.

At this time, Lash's second wife had already given birth to two more children for him. Thinking of the hard-won Khan's title, Lash still reluctantly agreed.

But Lash learned about Cossacks, and asked Truchen to pay him some food and iron tools every year, and asked him to equip his Qixue army with flintlock rifles as soon as possible.

This made Qitad really embarrassed.

In addition, because the infamous reputation of "dual cultivation religion" began to spread in the Caspian Sea, this provided an excellent opportunity for the Chechens and Azerbaijanis to launch a "jihad".

Although they didn't do well themselves, they couldn't keep themselves from being so proud on the surface.

In the autumn of this year, when the pilot in Jeddah just ended, Chechnya Maulla Mansour finally completed the internal integration.

It would be perfect if he wanted to further establish authority in the newly stable Chechen tribe, seek revenge from the Truchens and fight the name of jihad.

This time, he took the initiative to contact Azart Khan of the Azerbaijan Khanate.

This Azart Khan is not a simple person. He is good at dancing between Persia, Ottoman and Russia. He has done his best to invade Armenia, which has already surrendered to the Persians and Ottomans.

But at this time, the Armenians were vassals of the Persians, and they were not the ones he could hold hands and pinch.

So, when Mansour came to him, it was obviously a hit.

For Azart Khan, he could not afford to offend the Turguts, but he would not let a small tribe that was said to have a estrangement from Lash Khan.

All this news cannot be what the budding Chitard can get.

In early autumn, he met Bukhara businessmen again.

This time it was obviously not Rasim or Arslan who came in person, but the old housekeeper of Rasim.

His name is Mahamo. Qitad didn't care much when he saw him, but now he has taken the initiative independently and has shown a different wisdom.

On his slightly old face, his eyes were shining from time to time, and before that, they were all turbid.

For a moment, Qitad couldn't help but think of "Is he another wise cultivator besides Arslan."

Besides, he came from the sea, and obviously had more ability than Rasim before, at least he could pass through the Persian territory and use their ships with ease.

"Dear Manechi Khan"

Mahamo's voice was steady, thick, and there was a faint sound of metal, which fully demonstrated his amazing cultivation skills.

According to his introduction, he is now fifty-nine years old, but he is still energetic.

Just now, Qitad asked him about the Turkmen and Rasim's recent situation. When he heard the name of "Rasim", his eyebrows moved slightly, and this scene happened to be captured by Qitad.

This made him more confident.

"Mahamo is another wise practitioner outside Arslan, that is, the deputy leader, or the Miaoshui envoy, the first of the five major envoys of the Zoroastrianism, the second only to the leader and the deputy leader"

"The Zoroastrianism is not as pure as its teachings themselves. As long as you are a human being, no matter how much you practice, you will have weaknesses"

"Mahamo, obviously Rasim used to balance Arslan, but did he have no doubt about what Mahamo himself thought?"

"Khan, it has been half a year since you left. Not long after, conflict broke out in the Naimans, Qinzha people and Hongjila people in the oasis area."

"First, the Naimans were preparing to contact the Qinzha people to attack the Hongjila people, but what the leader never expected was that the Manjit people were weakened, and the next thing was the Naimans the largest. The Qinzha people were so willing to form an alliance with you?"

"In fact, the Qinzha people secretly formed an alliance with the Hongjila people, so the Naimans were defeated and finally had to retreat to the south. In this way, the strength of the three major tribes was almost equal."

"But it is unlikely that the Kincha people and the Hongjila people want to become Yilak, and in the end they have to let the Altuk of the Manjit tribe continue to serve as the manjit tribe"

"In the war against the Naimans, Arslan also made efforts. Therefore, in order to jointly deal with the possible alliance between the Manjits and Naimans, Hongjilas, the Qincha people tolerated the existence of the Turkmen for the first time and allowed Arslan to move the Turkmen serfs of Nukus to Chimboy"

"So, the Oasis area has truly become the top five"

Hearing this, Qitad felt excited.

"I heard Rasim say before that Arslan is a Kinja, but this Mahamo did not say it. It seems that Arslan is not simple either. It is really hard to say what direction the situation in the oasis area will develop in the future."

"More south, although Nadirsha of the Persian Empire was dead, his descendants were still there and were fighting for the throne. Therefore, the territory belonging to the Persians near the Caspian Sea also secretly became independent"

"The people there are good at farming and doing business, and there are also many Zoroastrians, so I can regain this actually the most convenient trade route."

"On the east coast of the Caspian Sea, there is a port called Kizil. I transported the goods there by camels, and then went south along the east coast of the Caspian Sea first to reach the southern part of the Caspian Sea, and then headed north along the west coast. I originally wanted to unload the goods from the Chechens' Sulak Port"

"Later, I found out that the Khan and the Chechens seemed to be not very good at dealing with each other, and I heard that the Khan had already built a port in Lagan, so I continued to go north"

Qitad nodded, "Where did you get this news?"

"Of course they are businessmen. They are all Islamists, but they obviously like to do business more than week. The best kung fu for businessmen is to communicate information"

"This news is not only about business, but also about political affairs and military affairs that affect business at any time. Everyone gets together and says everything, so..."

"Okay," Qitad interrupted him, "You should do the ruby ​​transaction with your father Khan. This is his lifeblood. I wonder if you come to me..."

Mahamo approached him a little.

"Da Khan, I'm not hiding it. Although our troops have temporarily gained a foothold in the oasis area, they are still the weakest tribe. If you want to stand firm completely, you still need Da Khan to help you"

Qitad smiled and said, "I don't have rubies here, not even ordinary gems. What can I help you? Do you want me to lead my troops into Shiva Khanate again?"

"No, no, no," Mahamo actually had ten thousand grass mud horses flying by, "I really want to make a deal with Khan"

Qitad immediately understood something.

"Tell me, what do you like?"

"Mustgun"

Qitade thought to himself, "It's true, but I have to provide the Qixue army with my father Khan, which is three thousand, and I have to use it myself, how many can I sell it to them?"

"What's more, my Minnie gun and rotary pistol will take at least one year to fully equip these 8,000 people at present. It is impossible to sell them before this."

So he said, "It's not impossible, but it's very difficult to build this kind of musket. I don't have much inventory at the moment. If I insist on selling it, the price will not be cheap."

Nowadays, a pre-mounted flintlock rifle produced in Europe or Ottoman requires at least one hundred Bukhara silver coins. I believe Mahamo has also heard of it.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Mahamo said, "We have guessed that this thing is rare in the world. I have been to Istanbul, and there are no Ottomans, and it is said that there are no Europeans. Khan, please bid. As long as it is not too outrageous, I can accept it."

Qitad thought for a while, "My rear-mounted flintlock rifle is not in stock, but there are still thousands of shots. I'd just dial all into Truchen's army and then replace the used ones"

Then he said, "You know that the Persian and Ottomans have at least one hundred silver coins. I have a unique world like me, at least double it."

As soon as these words were said, Mahamo showed no sign of bargaining, and he stretched out his big hand that looked skinny but still full of flesh and blood, "Just count!"

Qitade couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

But he is just a sweat at the moment, and he can't go back on his word.

I had to say: "This thing is built so much. In this way, I will give you five hundred poles first, which cost 100,000 Bukhara silver coins. Since you are familiar with Persian and Azerbaijani merchants, you don't have to bring gold and silver coins when you come again next time, you will go to their place to purchase wood first."

"Oak, oak, beech is the best, and those with a length of more than twenty meters are the best. They must be straight. According to their price, a tree like this requires twenty silver coins. So just ten woods can be replaced with a musket. What do you think?"

He, based on the ability of Shiva craftsmen nowadays, would make counterfeits after a little research. Since they can produce uzi steel, there is no problem in making springs, but it is impossible to produce large quantities in a short time.

So, they will need to order large quantities from themselves in the first three years, and they will probably not need them after three years.

In three years, the wood he brought was enough to form a fleet by himself.

"Okay!"

Sure enough, Mahamo agreed without hesitation.

As he said that, he brought hundreds of boxes in.

"Shan, these boxes seem to be equipped with gems or knives, but in fact there are other mysteries below"

As he said that, he opened the bottom of the box and suddenly a pile of dazzling gold coins were revealed!

"Although he has a wide connection, he must not be cautious when walking on the Caspian route for the first time. The price of gold coins is higher, and it is not too obvious to be installed in the mezzanine."

"Da Khan, each interlayer has 100 gold coins, which is exactly 10,000, equivalent to 100,000 silver coins in Bukhara, which is exactly the price of 500 muskets"

"Then how do you transport it back?"

Mahamo smiled and said, "I designed this kind of box early in the morning. Each box is more than enough to hold ten muskets, and then cover it with some fur from your body. The owner of my rental ship happened to be a Persian Zoroastrian. He is the best in the port of Kizil on the east coast of the Caspian Sea, and there is no problem."

"As long as you get ashore, Turkmen cavalry will come to greet you"

"Then you have to pass through the territory of the Hongjila people"

"Oh, I forgot to tell the Khan just now that since the Turkmen took down Chimboy City, some of the deserts on the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea were also approaching us and occupying the pasture of the Sarekamesh people."

"Don't worry, it won't snow in the east coast of the Caspian Sea in winter, and this half of Hainan will not be frozen. Lagan Port will not be frozen in most of the winter. After I go back, I will come back to get the other five hundred muskets"
