Chapter 109: 1 flattery
The territory of the Crimean Khanate is not large. Its northern border is not far from the Crimean peninsula, the core area of the Crimean Khanate. Therefore, Sadat's report was quickly sent to the capital Bakhchisalai.
Mengo Jirehan heard that a messenger from European countries came to congratulate him, and was also very interested, so he agreed to let Marin and others come in. However, for safety, only Marin is allowed to carry 100 cavalry escorts. Others must stay in the border area and wait.
Heard this reply, Marin only hesitated for a while, and agreed. Because he cannot reveal his true identity. An earl, personally visiting an unfriendly pagan country, is very dangerous. In particular, a robber country like the Crimean Khanate.
If you insist on accompanying 700 cavalry, the other party may wonder-is this a big man? If the Crimeans moved their hearts and kidnapped Marin, it would be ashamed.
Therefore, Marin only hesitated for a while and agreed to the other party's request. Then, he took only two diplomatic adjutants, an accompanying adjutant sent by Lithuania, and 100 cronies cavalry including Kahn, and went to Bach with the responding minister sent by the capital of the Crimean Khanate Cizale.
On the way, in order to show the identity of the envoy, Marin took off his armor, put on the robes of Wenchen, sat on the three horse-drawn carriages, and put on an ceremonial ceremony to show that he was regular.
In fact, Marin was blindfolded to the blind. The Crimean people are originally grassland tribes, so they don't care much about etiquette. Like the Crimean Foreign Minister who came to lead the way, saying that he is a minister is actually a rude little chieftain. At least, from the appearance, the other party is definitely a well-developed limb with a simple mind.
However, the other party is literate, can read the Tatar language, and confirmed the identity of Marin's messenger ...
Crimean sent 500 fully equipped Khanite cavalrymen from the capital, well equipped. They will be responsible for escorting Marin and others to Bakhchisaray all the way, and also have the task of monitoring Marin and others. If it is not necessary, the Crimean Foreign Minister does not allow anyone in the Marin team to easily leave the team. This is to prevent Marin's hands from going into the intelligence of the Crimean Khanate.
While riding the carriage, Marin took the opportunity to divide the gold coins on the carriage into four parts-a 10,000 gold coin, which was placed in a beautiful box. Another copy of 40,000 gold coins was placed in another beautiful box. The remaining 100,000 gold coins were placed in two large boxes and hidden in a dark compartment under the carriage seat.
According to the plan, Marin intends to use 10,000 gold coins to catch the appetite of Mongoire Khan. When you are interested, add 40,000 gold coins. If you still can't move, take another 50,000 gold coins to smash ... As for the other 50,000 gold coins, Marin said-the head has been black ...
Anyway, the Tatars in Eastern Europe and Western Europe have little contact, the news is not good, and there is no inspection team to check the accounts, black him 50,000 gold coins, no one knows ...
Bakhchisarai was not far from the border area. Even in a horse-drawn carriage, Marin arrived in Bakhchisarai two days later.
However, this capital city of the Crimean Khanate is indeed a bit shabby, just a small town in the valley. In addition to the Bakhchisalay Khan Palace, which covers an area of about 4 hectares, the city is home to some military camps and administrative agencies. As for the housing of civilians, it seems few ...
It's no wonder that the Crimean Khanate is a nomadic country after all, with no handicrafts. They need handicraft products or weapons, mostly imported from Ottoman Turkey. The Turks did not want their cattle and sheep, nor their horses. Therefore, in order to obtain the money for purchase, the Crimeans had to go to Eastern Europe to rob and sell for money. Only with money can we go to Turkey to import all kinds of necessities.
For now, in addition to the capital city of Bakhchisaray, the Crimean Khanate is the eastern port city of Kfar (Feodosia). The port of Kafa is also an export port for slaves of the Crimean Khanate. Each year, there are thousands of Eastern European slaves exported from Kafa.
However, because there is only one buyer in Turkey, and Turkey is the eldest brother of the Crimean Khanate, the price of slaves has been kept low. An ordinary strong male and female slave, as long as five or six gold coins in Kafa. Even the beauty is only 10 gold coins. The only relatively expensive ones are the beautiful original girls and the healthy boys.
Needless to say, the beautiful original girl is definitely for Turkish nobles. After all, a man over the green religion can have multiple women.
And a strong little boy, who underwent brainwashing and became a slave soldier who fanatically believed in green religion, grew up and sold his life to the Turks. The famous Sudanese soldiers are all Slavic boys who were trained by brainwashing since childhood.
Of course, the source of Sudanese soldiers is mainly the area conquered by Turkey on the Balkan Peninsula. The Turks called the plundering of these little boys "blood tribute". After being sent to Constantinople, these little boys received brainwashing from an early age and received various martial arts and riding training. When they grew up, these people became the sharp blades in the hands of the Turkish sultan, the most powerful Ottoman Turkish combat force.
Although the Crimean Khanate can also plunder the Slavic boys, the Turks were mainly forced from the Balkan peninsula without spending money. Therefore, although the Turks also bought strong boys in Crimea, they were not many. The Crimean Khanate itself has no such tradition. Therefore, many of those children were actually sold to Turkey's "Pasha" (Turkish official, equivalent to the governor), and they were trained into their own personal guards.
……
Because the price was too low by the Turks, the economic situation of the Crimean Khanate has always been poor. There are about 250,000 people in the country, and they can export thousands of slaves every year, but only sell tens of thousands of gold coins. It is difficult to maintain the operation of the Khan Court and the luxury life of Montgomery Khan ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ let alone let the country Rich and strong. So, after Sigmund I spent 15,000 gold coins, he bought Mongoire Khan to attack Moscow.
Under the arrangement of Crimean officials, Marin wore aristocratic robes and aristocratic hats with bird hairs on him, let Kahn and others carry gifts, followed the guide officials, and entered the only luxury of Bakhchisarai. Buildings-Bakhchisalay Khan Palace ...
The gifts brought by Marin are simple. There is only a gold-encrusted knife (only a few hundred gold coins) bought from the Lithuanian nobles, and 10,000 gold coins.
Now that he knows that the Crimean Khan is poor, Marin naturally chose to use the gold that blinded their dogs as a gift ...
After entering the main hall of the Khan Palace, Marin saw at a glance Montgomery Khan sitting on the throne ...
Mengge Jileihan is not tall, about 50 years old, but looks relatively strong. I don't know why, looking at the flashing eyes of Montgorgérehan with stout stature, Marin always feels that the other party is a cunning person ...
However, after entering the hall, Marin was not idle. He immediately took off his hat, bent over and bowed to Montgomery Khan, then yelled in Tatar:
"The common messenger of the Hanseatic League and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania congratulates the Khancha Khan, the co-owner of the grassland, the gods of eternal happiness, longevity and heaven ..." Inattentively, Marin used the **** line of Lu Dingji Li Wei Xiaobao ... … It's just that there is no immortal in Europe, and we can only enjoy it forever ...
Didn't expect that this fart line effect was quite good. After hearing Malin's almost shameless fart, Montgomery Khan originally had a majestic tight face and immediately smiled ...
Marin saw the effect was good, so he immediately put in more effort, ready to vigorously patting Montgomery Khan ’s ass, anyway, it does n’t cost money ...
