Chapter 114 Goal Achievement
In fact, at this time, Mongkogirekhan was extremely shocked. He remembered the former Golden Horde and Crimean Khanate. Originally, the Crimean Khanate was just a small Khanate separated from the Golden Horde. However, the Crimean Khanate has grown stronger and eaten the Golden Horde of the main branch. Similarly, looking at the map, Mongkogirekhan was thinking - one day, after the Grand Duchy of Moscow is extremely powerful, will he eat the Crimean Khanate? As he thought, Mongkogirekhan became fascinated...
"Do you want me to send troops to attack the Grand Duchy of Moscow?" After a while of awakening, Mongogirekhan looked at Marin thoughtfully.
"Khan, you're not fighting alone..."
"Who else?"
"Lithuania..."
"Uh...we are still in a hostile relationship now..." Menggelehan was a little surprised.
"As long as the Khan is willing, Lithuania can become a Khan's friend at any time!" Marin said firmly. This is also the task entrusted by Lithuania to Marin.
"This... is too much of a joke..." Monggerehan murmured.
"Khan, I wonder if you have ever heard this sentence - 'There are no eternal allies between countries, only eternal interests'! The Khans of the Khans back then, in order to balance the countries of Ros and prevent their dominance, wouldn't they support you today and support him tomorrow?"
"There are no eternal allies between countries, only eternal interests..." Menggelehan murmured and repeated this classic, as if he had some enlightenment.
"right!"
"But... Moscow is already the only one...." Mongogirekhan said depressedly. He wanted to balance now, and it was too late. In addition to the four Khanates, the Novgorod Republic, the Grand Duchy of Tver, the Duchy of Yaroslav, and other powerful countries, they have been annexed by the Grand Duchy of Moscow. The Principality of Ryazan has actually become a vassal of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Only the weak Republic of Pskov, barely supported with the support of the Knights of Livonia...
"Khan, the countries of Ross are indeed the dominant Moscow. However, you can also balance Moscow and Lithuania..."
"Balance between Moscow and Lithuania..." Menggogirekhan thought for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up...
But after a while, Mongkogirekhan said disheartenedly again:
"But Lithuania is too weak and has no choice but to be bullied by the Moscow people. It's so troubled that Hungary is asking for help in peace. Can such a weak country be used to balance Moscow?"
Hearing this, Marin smiled:
"Haha, Khan, haven't you noticed it? It's not that Lithuania is too weak, but because Khan, you helped the Grand Duchy of Moscow bully Lithuania! Without the help of the powerful Crimean cavalry, Lithuania wouldn't have been beaten so badly by Moscow!"
Hearing this, Mongkogirekhan and the Tatar nobles next to him suddenly realized, and then they were very satisfied - indeed, it was our cavalry that was powerful...
"Empress, if we attack Moscow, we can dispatch 40,000 cavalry. However, we are all cavalry and are not good at siege... The Moscow city walls are so strong..."
"Khan, why are you going to attack Moscow City?"
"Otherwise how to weaken the Moscow people?"
"What you want to do is to weaken Moscow, not to destroy Moscow. Just take cavalry and sweep the Moscow countryside, grab money, grab grain, and grab population, and you can weaken the Grand Duchy of Moscow..."
"Uh...this is good..." Menggerehan suddenly remembered, isn't this what the Crimeans are best at...
"What if the Moscows send troops to chase after me?" asked a ten thousand household of the Crimean Khanate.
"Where your cavalry on the grasslands fear the Moscow infantry?"
"You mean we retreat and put the battlefield on the grassland?"
"Yes! Moreover, if the Moscows dare to go out in full force, I think, as allies, the Lithuanians will definitely not sit idly by. They can completely invade Moscow on the western border..."
"It sounds good, but, entourage, what name should we send troops to attack the Grand Duchy of Moscow? We were allies before, but now we are not easy to find excuses..." Menggelekhan was moved, but he had not thought of a good excuse.
"Khan, I have an idea - you might as well send troops to the Duchy of Ryazan by the excuse of inheriting the throne of Qinzhan, and the other party has not paid you a tithe tax...."
"Ryazan? Why is this? Isn't I going to fight Moscow?"
"Ryazan is just southeast of Moscow City. As long as your army reaches Ryazan, the Moscows will be frightened. Before, the troops sent to invade Finland will also be transferred back..."
"After a long time of trouble, you want us to help Sweden to rescue..." Menggerehan suddenly realized.
"There are such reasons," Marin also did not deny it.
"What are the benefits of that khan?"
Marin clapped his hands, and Kahn picked up the gift he brought - a golden knife and 10,000 gold coins...
Sure enough, Mongkogire Khan was very interested in the golden sword, but the 10,000 gold coins made Mongkogire Khan unable to move his vision anymore...
"Shank you, please accept it with a smile..."
"Well...is there anything else?" Menggerehan asked greedily.
"Khan, Liangzan City is not as strong as Moscow City. As long as you capture Liangzan, what property does not exist? You must know that Liangzan is a famous agricultural area and is relatively rich. It is also a granary of Moscow. As long as you lead troops to capture Liangzan, you can not only seize a large amount of property, but also capture a lot of slaves..."
Menggelekhan thought about it and it was true. Liang Zan was already rich. Not to mention the wealth, the more than 10,000 people in the city and the large number of people in the surrounding countryside could allow the Crimean Khanate to capture many slaves. It was indeed a wonderful idea to lead troops to capture Liang Zan by himself, not only could he gain huge benefits, but he could also intimidate the Grand Duchy of Moscow, but he did not turn against Moscow directly.
"What else?" Menggejirehan's greed seemed endless...
Marin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, but he had an idea in his mind:
"I can make the decision now and buy 1,000 Mongolian war horses and 10,000 cows from Khan... This is just an order this year, and there will be..."
"Serious?" Menggejirehan's eyes lit up. If what Marin said was true, then he would receive a super big order worth 90,000 gold coins every year in the future!
"No joke! Da Khan, I brought a deposit of 40,000 gold coins, and the remaining 50,000 yuan. As long as you send troops to Liang Zan, I will send it here immediately. At the same time, please prepare the cattle and horse..."
"This is certain. Ben Khan has nothing else in his hands, but there are many animals!" If Marin only bought this time, Mongkogire Khan might have directly damaged the money and not given the cows and horses. However, if it is a long-term business, it cannot be done like this. After all, the annual profit is huge. Moreover, cows and horses are indeed not worth much in the Crimean Khanate.
"By the way, I'm sorry to write a letter of state that agrees to form an alliance with Lithuania. I'll be able to report to the Grand Duke of Lithuania when I go back."
"Why do you want to form an alliance with Lithuania?" The attack on Liangzan Mongkogirekhan said that it was no problem, but he was a little reluctant to form an alliance with Lithuania in writing. Because, in this way, he would be embarrassed to send troops to the Ukrainian prairie controlled by Lithuania in the future and rob the Ukrainian prairie. After all, they are all ally...
"Khan, if you don't form an alliance with Lithuania, how can the cattle and horse purchased by the chamber of commerce from Khan pass through the Lithuanian border? The other party will definitely not be happy. After all, they are also major cattle and horse producers..."
"This is also..." Thinking of the money brought by the cattle and horse trade, which seemed to be much more than robbing on the Ukrainian prairie, Mongkogirekhan finally wrote a letter of state that was willing to form an alliance with Lithuania. In this way, as long as the Grand Duke Alexander of Lithuania wrote another letter of state and returned it to the Crimean Khanate, the alliance between the two countries will be completed...
When Kahn put the large box containing the "deposit" of 40,000 gold coins in front of Mongkogirekhan and opened it, Mongkogirekhan and the Tatar nobles next to him were blinded by the 40,000 gold coins in the box...
"Okay, my Khan will now order people to summon troops and send troops to Liang Zan! However, the envoy, please send the remaining 50,000 gold coins as soon as possible!"
"Don't worry, sweat a lot. However, please choose the best one for those 1,000 war horses! Also, please choose the strong and fat one for those 10,000 cows..."
"Don't worry, the most important thing we have on the grassland is horses and oxes! As long as we have money, we need as much as we want!"
...
Seeing that Mongkogirekhan really began to gather elite soldiers from all over the country, Malin breathed a sigh of relief - he knew that his mission had been completed...
Moreover, Marin had completed the task more than he could. Originally, Marin planned to give 100,000 gold coins for free. However, he did not expect that the Crimeans were more interested in selling livestock for a long time. So he temporarily changed his strategy and changed the free money for a long time to buy livestock. Anyway, the livestock in the Crimean Khanate was very cheap...
In this way, although Marin would pay 100,000 gold coins to the Crimean Khanate, he returned after 1,000 Eastern European Mongolian horses (Don Hippos) and 10,000 cows, but he did not lose at all.
Because, just those 10,000 cows can be sold in Germany and doubled the price. In short, Marin can make a big profit...
The best thing is that Marin did not pay the money himself, but his allies paid in advance. In other words, he won 1,000 war horses and 10,000 cows for nothing without spending a penny. When he sold 10,000 cows in Germany, the huge profits he made belonged to him...
