Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The situation in Western Europe is tense and tense.

    The conflicts between England and Spain and the Ming Dynasty, the conflicts between Spain and France competing for the top spot in Europe, and the conflicts between Portugal¡¯s expansion in West and North Africa and Spain.

    The conflicts between France and Spain in the Mediterranean and Italy; the conflicts between France and the Holy Roman Empire, and the conflicts between the Ming Dynasty and Christendom, dominated by the Holy See.

    It can be said that throughout Western Europe, the situation is becoming increasingly tense, and invisible smoke has begun to fill the air.

    On the other side, in Eastern Europe, on the vast plains of Eastern Europe, the Tatars are raging on this vast plain.

    Outside Ryazan, more than 20,000 Crimean cavalry surrounded the city.

    Ryazan City is the capital of the Ryazan Principality. When Batu conquered the west, the first city to conquer was Ryazan City. The Ryazan Principality was a prince enfeoffed by the early ancient Rus and a principality entrusted by the Rus in the Middle Ages. It is an authentic  Taoist Russian country.

    Also because it is inevitably the Crimean Khanate, it has always been one of the objects of plunder by the Crimean Khanate. The Tatars of the Crimean Khanate will plunder and capture slaves.  This behavior is called the "harvest of the prairie people" and is a traditional behavior with a long history.

    It is the coldest winter at this time, which is the most difficult time of the year for the prairie people. As before, the prairie people have begun to thresh grass and grain on the vast Slavic grasslands.

    Outside the city of Ryazan, Sardat was riding on a tall horse. He was the commander-in-chief of the Crimean Khanate's army. There were many people gathered around him, one of whom was a slave in the Crimean Khanate.  Businessman Haji buying and selling.

    Haji is considered a golden-domed merchant of the Crimean Khanate. He does not do business for himself, but for the great khan of the Crimean Khanate. He also does business for the great nobles of the Crimean Khanate.  Business.

    ?Specializes in selling the slaves captured by the Crimean Khanate to the West Pole Port of the Ming Dynasty in the South Caucasus, and then buys back the goods everyone needs.

    "Haji, I heard that a Slav can be sold for thirty taels of silver in the Ming Dynasty?"

    Saldat was riding on his horse, looking at the city of Ryazan in front of him. It was a big city with tens of thousands of people inside. If all of them could be captured and sold to the Ming Dynasty, it would cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, which would be enough.  Come back after purchasing a large amount of supplies.

    "Yes, sir~"

    "The people of Ming Dynasty are very rich. With all the money they have, the demand for slaves is very strong. No matter how many slaves they have, they can eat them."

    Haji nodded quickly and replied.

    "That's good. Send the order. After the city is breached, try to catch as many people alive as possible. Each person is worth thirty taels of silver. Keep an eye on them all."

    When Saldat heard this, he immediately nodded with satisfaction.

    Life in the Crimean Khanate is actually not easy. The Tatars are nomadic people who only destroy and are not good at management and production. They mainly make a living by plundering and herding.

    In the past, they often plundered the surrounding Slavs, Lithuanians, Poles and Hungarians, and then sold slaves to the Ottoman Empire.

    But since the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Ottoman Empire this year, the Crimean Khanate, which has always submitted to the Ottoman Empire, also took the opportunity to break away from the control of the Ottoman Empire.

    He turned around and sold the slave to the people of Ming Dynasty, not only because the price offered by people of Ming Dynasty was higher, but more importantly, people of Ming Dynasty could buy everything here. As long as there was money, everything was easy to deal with.

    Armor, weapons, gunpowder, artillery, grain, tea, and salt were all sold by the Ming Dynasty, and they could even be transported directly to the Crimean Khanate by ship via the Black Sea.

    In the past, a slave sold to the Ottoman Empire only cost five or six gold coins. If converted into Ming currency, it would only cost less than ten taels of silver. However, now sold to the Ming Dynasty, it can easily be sold for a high price of thirty taels of silver.

    This greatly stimulated the nobles of the Crimean Khanate to rob the surrounding neighbors and capture slaves.

    Soon, with the sound of horns, the Tatars surged up toward Ryazan City like a tide. For a while, the entire Ryazan City turned into a bloody place of fighting.

    ¡°Dong dong~¡±

    The artillery purchased from the Ming Dynasty let out bursts of roars, and the cannonballs attacked Ryazan City one after another. The whistling iron balls hit hard, and the city walls shook slightly.

    The siege city shot out blazing fireballs. The fireballs dragged long tail flames in the sky, fell heavily into the city, and burned quickly at the point of impact.

    Under the city wall, the Tatar archers continued to suppress the defenders above the city wall one after another, fiercely"These are all silver, white and fluffy silver, one person is worth thirty taels of silver. If Ryazan City is captured, at least tens of thousands of people can be captured, and this time they can earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

    "Sir, I have said before that the Ming Dynasty's explosive packs are very useful. They used this explosive pack to capture more than a hundred Ottoman Empire cities, including the city of Erzinjan."

    Haji also had a smile on his face, and his eyes looked at the captured prisoners. His eyes were full of money, including countless grains, salt, tea, weapons, equipment, etc.

    "I'll hand these prisoners over to you. Hurry up and sell them to the Ming people in exchange for more explosives. I want to sweep across this Slavic grassland all the way. I want to capture Moscow and turn all the Slavs into slaves."

    Saldat couldn't help laughing happily. With the explosive pack, attacking the city became an extremely simple matter.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
