When the Rakshasa Kingdom thought it had made the right decision and formed a mission to seek reconciliation with the Ming Empire, the Ming Dynasty was secretly doing bad things.
Located in the southern part of the South Russian steppe, Crimea!
Crimea was also a hot spot in that era.
To the east, the Crimean Khanate was a huge nomadic empire that spanned the Eurasian continent and isolated Poland, the Rakshasa Kingdom, and the Black Sea.
The Crimean Khanate that occupied this place was also no coward.
In the East, where weak chickens abound, Eastern Europe seems to be no hegemon.
It can even be said that it is the nightmare of Rakshasa Kingdom!
Because one of the sources of income for the Crimean Khanate was traveling to Eastern Europe to capture Slavic slaves, they called it the "harvest of the steppe peoples".
That situation lasted for a long time, and until the late eighteenth century, there was a huge slave trade with the Ottoman Empire and the Middle East.
Kaffa was one of the most famous and sought-after slave markets, and transporting slaves from there to various places for sale was a major source of income for the Khanate.
Now, the Ming Dynasty is not a major patron of the Crimean Khanate.
Ming merchants often purchased large numbers of female red slaves in the Crimean Khanate.
In addition, between 1558 and 1596, there were about 30 large-scale invasions into the territory of Tsarist Russia.
Every spring Rakshasa mobilizes as many as 65,000 soldiers to serve on the border, placing a heavy burden on the country.
The biggest war was the siege of Moscow in 1572, when 150,000 Rakshasa people were captured and the Moskva River was filled with corpses.
The entry of the Crimean Khanate forced the Rakshasa Kingdom to choose to rebuild the Great Wall of Crimea to defend against the intrusion of the Crimean Khanate's Tatar cavalry!
From this point of view, the Crimean Khanate was to the Rakshasa, a bit like the Qing Dynasty was to the Ming Dynasty.
The effect of the Great Wall of Bu Nao Rakshasa is a little better than the previous one.
Due to the completion of that tight fortification, large-scale plundering by the Tatars was basically contained.
The estates of many Rakshasa nobles were protected from plunder, which greatly reduced the defensive pressure on Rakshasa's southern flank, and also protected the fertile southern Russian prairie from the flames of war.
Thousands of Rakshasa farmers will come to colonize the area, developing the black fertile soil into the largest granary in Europe and becoming the material guarantee for the Rakshasa Kingdom to continue its conquests in all directions.
Zhu Kezang didn't want to see that, so he begged Rakshasa to suffer a little more.
At this time, Bakhchisarai, located on the Crimean Peninsula, is a city rich in the color of Tianfang religion.
The envoy from the Ottoman state, Akyol, was smiling at Selim Glei, the Khan of the Crimean Khanate in front of him:
"Khan, on the orders of the Sultan, they obtained a batch of new weapons from the Ming Empire to use against the red-skinned pigs of the Rakshasa Kingdom. I wonder if I am interested?"
"Ming dynasty?"
Hearing that word, Selim Khan knew without sufficient knowledge that the Ming Dynasty often purchased slaves captured by their Crimean army in the far east.
Other than that, nothing is known.
He began to imagine the prosperity of the East in his mind.
"The Ottoman envoy, he knows that the Ming Dynasty has porcelain and tea, but why do they sell weapons so much..."
"No, the Mongols in your hometown have formed a co-king alliance with the emperor of the Ming Empire. The Ming Empire has become a quite large empire, ruling the grasslands of your hometown (Monan, Mobei, Moxi)
, even the Mughals in Tianzhu surrendered to his rule!"
There is no bragging in that. The Mongols in the southern and northern deserts were actually ruled by the Ming Dynasty. In name, Zhu Kezang was not the Heavenly Khan of the Mongols.
"So powerful?"
Selim Gray couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Isn't that natural? Besides, Osman really wants the princess to marry the Ming Emperor!"
Akyol continued.
Concerned about whether to consolidate the friendship with the Ming Dynasty, Ahmed II decided to marry his beautiful young daughter Bensu Solal to Zhu Kezang.
Bensu Solal does have a good appearance, with red skin, a high bridge of nose, deep eyes and long hair. Her facial features are well-defined, giving people a noble and elegant feeling.
Selim Khan, the Mongolian, was obviously not interested in those things, he frowned.
"Does that have anything to do with the Crimean Khanate?"
"The Crimean Khanate has long since cut off contact with its Mongolian relatives from the East!"
"If it is true that the Crimean Khanate was involved, will he tell me the source of those weapons?"
Akyol explained with a smile, and then took a sip of the specially fermented grape juice that the Crimeans used to treat him.
Could someone please find fault and say it's not wine?
That's not right. Heaven teaches people never to drink alcohol. That would be a waste of delicious grape juice.
"Whether those weapons are provided by the friendly Ming people, the Crimean Khanate needs to pay Slavic slaves to get military aid from the Ming Dynasty, which can help us to attack the Rakshasa Kingdom in the north!"
Crimean Khan Selim Grai frowned, "Can you say that a considerable part of the Great Wall of the Rakshasa Japs has been built, and it will not be easy to fight through it. Moreover, outside the Great Wall, there are no castles for nobles and landowners.
The warriors in the grassland can’t defeat it!”
Since that damn wall, the performance of the Crimean slave catching team has gotten worse and worse.
To be fair, what he said was not true, but Akyol didn't think so. He said with a smile, "Khan Gedong, the problem has been solved!"
"The weapons provided to me by the Ming Empire can easily break through the enemy's Great Wall and then blow up the enemy's castle!"
"That will be an excellent opportunity for the warriors under your command to plunder!"
"No?"
Selim Grai was a little excited. If what the Ottoman envoy said was true, he would be rich!
Selim Gray is a devout believer in Tibetan religion. As soon as he heard that he could buy it for zero yuan, he put the "lamb leg" of the "big-eared sheep" he was chewing in his mouth.
The Ottoman envoy was also a devout Christian believer. When he saw that the Crimean Khan was interested, he immediately showed off and used a knife to cut open the roasted "short-nosed elephant" meat, cut it into long strips, and dipped it in
Add the spices, stuff it into your mouth and chew it.
"Khan Gedong, of course that is true. If you don't believe it, they will go and see the power of those Ming weapons in Yidong!"
Not long after, the two of them were feasting, drinking too much fermented grape juice, and eating a lot of short-nosed elephants, and even mutton with big ears.
The somewhat dizzy Ottoman envoy and Selim Gray Khan met in front of a solid stone wall.
With a loud noise, the two people who were a little drunk after drinking fermented grape juice suddenly woke up!
