Rise of the 1630s South America

Chapter 2497 Follow-up Arrangements

"In the Ottoman Empire, coups are really commonplace. How many times in history, hey, I can't count them, but the country has not been tossed up, which is also a miracle. Well, this may have something to do with their nationality and culture, the legacy of the grassland Well, it’s interesting to admit defeat after the coup d’état is over, other people don’t stalk, and the winners don’t go after the losers’ henchmen. The scale is not large, the intensity is not high, and it will definitely damage the vitality of the country in the end." Sheng Dehong, who was wrapped in a fur coat, threw a document on the table and shook his head.

Today is mid-February 1704, and the Baltic Sea is in the season of heavy snow.In a seaside manor outside Danzig City, Sheng Dehong has lived here for more than a month.

This manor was originally owned by a local German businessman. Because of some shady relations with the Prussians and the serious crime of smuggling, he was directly captured by the agents of the newly established Syphilis Patient Statistics and Investigation Bureau. It has disappeared, and the manor was naturally conquered and confiscated, and transformed into a state-owned farm. At the same time, it also functions as a government guest house for people on official business to rest and stay.

Sheng Dehong came to Danzig County by boat for inspection. The officials of the county government planned to receive him grandly, but he insisted on staying in a guest house, so everyone had no choice but to give up.This farm, of course, has a beautiful scenery, if it comes in summer, it is really a health resort.It's a pity that it will be winter, and the wind is howling. Even though there is a fireplace in the house, I still feel a little bit of cold air seeping in.Sheng Dehong's behavior made him look a lot taller, and the dark and ruthless feeling that he gave people because of his background as an intelligence officer has faded a lot.

The news of the coup in the Ottoman Empire has been spread to Sheng Dehong by the East Coast intelligence network at any cost.And only two months have passed, and this efficiency is much better than those of the Nordic countries. It also reflects from the side that after decades of painstaking efforts, the intelligence transmission network of the people on the east coast in Europe has taken shape.

Sheng Dehong was quite satisfied with the conditions Wu Yifei negotiated with Helabry.He wasn't at all worried that Hellaberry would comply.The reason is actually very simple. At present, the Koprulu family cannot do without the support of the East Coast people. Whether it is a financial loan or a military order, he needs the help of the East Coast people.In addition, he also wants to revive the dilapidated Turkish economy, which is even more inseparable from the help of the east coast: Do you still want to export your wool and leather?Do you still want someone to want your minerals?Your production technology is so backward, do you still want to introduce advanced machines?As long as Hellaberry was sane, he dared not cooperate with the East Coasters.

As for the next few years, when Herabery's wings harden and the situation stabilizes, will he turn his face and deny anyone?That's even more impossible.On the thief ship, still want to get off?How can it be so easy!Apart from other things, the East Bank has helped you train so many civil servants and military generals. What do they think? Have you considered Helabry?Do you really support you?

"Write a letter to Helabry. You can organize the specific wording. The general idea is that the Ottoman Empire is currently extremely weak, the economy is in difficulty, and the people are suffering. What is needed now is rest and recuperation, not military violence." After drinking a cup of hot tea to refresh , Sheng Dehong said: "The top priority is to let the farmers return to their land. The macarinai system must be abolished, and the taxpayers must be rectified. Many people have turned into local bullies. There is not enough output. It’s superfluous to talk about other agriculture, let them fix agriculture first.”

The secretary nodded, recorded the main points of Sheng Dehong's conversation, and planned to organize the language well after going back later, and write a secret letter to Helabry.This guy seems to have a bright future at present, but he is actually facing a mess.Effendi, the religious fanatic who only knows how to launch jihad, has already made the country's economy full of holes, and it will be impossible to rectify it.

"This time the Crimean Tatars did not participate in the Turkish rebellion. I am very satisfied. Although there were some rumors before, it was said that the Prince of Crimea (Grey family and Ottoman family have been intermarried for many years, strictly speaking, son-in-law is also acceptable) There is no shortage of precedents in the grasslands) to go to Istanbul to inherit the sultan’s throne, but the Grai family resisted the temptation and did not jump out to make trouble, which shows their political wisdom. Good, good, Greg The Lai family can get my reward. Tell De Follette (the new Great Khan of Crimea) to work hard, and the military aid will arrive in the middle of this year, and I will reward him with an additional 30 artillery pieces." Sheng Dehong closed his eyes He fell asleep, but he kept saying: "The Russians are currently at war with the Swedes in the north. This is a very good opportunity for the Crimean Khanate. Of course, I don't mean to let him start a war, That's an extremely stupid behavior! Don't provoke the Russians, don't provoke the Cossacks, and try your best to reform the internal affairs. The previously discussed national tax reform can be implemented, and don't be afraid of someone standing up to oppose it. This is an important step towards the rebirth of Crimea , must not be interrupted! Let De Follette make good use of his new army, which was built at a high price, not as a display for relying on, and whoever opposes it will be beaten! If you still refuse to accept it, directly suppress it, We fully support him! Those feudal armed forces or tribal soldiers are not opponents of the new army. I am very confident in this, and the Gray family must also have confidence. Before this country was only 70% owned by them, now the opportunity is in front of us. 80% or even [-]% of the country belongs to them, if De Follett is still looking forward and backward, there is no need to continue to keep it, anyway, there are so many people with the surname Grei, whoever can be the sweater will not do."

Sheng Dehong's words are domineering, which also highlights his self-confidence.The East Coast Republic has managed Crimea for decades, so how can it not have the means to suppress the bottom of the box!In Sheng Dehong's most secret safe, there are several secret letters written to him by important officials of the Crimean Khanate, generals, and even other members of the Grai family.If De Follett really can't support the wall, he really doesn't mind changing someone to be a sweat, although the price may be very high.

"Defulet Gelai Khan sent people to send 60 high-quality war horses to Haji County a while ago, and said that he will fully implement the reform of the unified tax system, and the rotation training of middle-level government officials will also be carried out in depth. Haji County The first phase of the crash course on government affairs has started for more than a month, and [-] officials from the Crimean customs, taxation, agriculture, administration and other departments are studying. Section Chief Zhou of the National Intelligence Agency said that everything is under control. " said the secretary in a low voice.

"En." Sheng Dehong snorted, expressing that he knew about it.Later, he said: "The Oirat Mongols moved too slowly. Is it the lack of combat power or the fear of the Persian counterattack? Or is it afraid of the accountability of the Ottoman Empire? It has not yet defeated the resistance of the Azerbaijanis. The Caucasus The mountain people in the mountains are also making trouble in the rear. Is Ayuqi Khan too old to do what he wants? Huh, write to Ayuqi and tell him not to worry about the pressure of the Ottoman Empire, and quickly deal with the Caucasus mountain people who surrendered and rebelled. What? After decades of good life, I can’t lift a knife anymore? Is this still the Mongol who is powerful on the grassland? After finishing the fire in the backyard, he rushed to Batumi with all his strength and took down this ancient trading city for me , drink the Mali Sea."

It is said that the Oirat Mongols in the North Caucasus also took advantage of the favorable opportunity when the main force of the Russian army was in the north and had no time to pay attention to others. They assembled more than 2 people (including [-] Caucasian servants) and went south. Crossed the Caucasus Mountains and entered the Shannan region.After wandering around in Georgia, [-] Chechens were left there to deal with the East Georgians, and the [-] Mongolian cavalrymen of their own family followed the requirements of the East Coasters, and went straight to the site where the Azerbaijanis lived, burning, killing, and looting all the way. , expand the site.

Azerbaijanis are a widely distributed ethnic group in the South Caucasus and have a large population.For hundreds of years, they have been controlled by the Persians most of the time, paying tribute to them, but their autonomy is actually very high.However, after the Ottoman Empire defeated Persia several times and captured large tracts of land in Iraq and western Iran, the minds of the Azerbaijanis became alive again. Many tribes abandoned their old masters and began to pay tribute to the Ottoman Empire.This time, the Oirat Mongols fought against the scumbags who voted for Ottoman, but there were also some tribes loyal to Persia. Therefore, it can be seen as provoking the two major regional powers of Ottoman and Persia, and they are quite courageous.

However, the pressure from Ottoman's side can be resolved by the people on the east coast, which helped them a lot.As for the Persians, hehe, when they were nomadic in the lower reaches of the Volga River, they often went to Persia to plunder. They didn't have much awe of this southern neighbor, and they dared to fight if they said they would.Therefore, when the more than 2 Mongolian cavalry rushed into the traditional territory of the Azerbaijanis, they completely ignored the warnings of the Persians and attacked wantonly, very arrogantly.

But what surprised the Mongols was that the resistance of the Azerbaijanis seemed to be a bit strong, causing considerable damage to the Mongolian cavalry, which annoyed them very much.In addition, the Caucasus mountain people who had been ruled by their government once again broke out in rebellion, which not only cut off their supply routes, but also forced them to return to the division and attack these rebellious mountain people together with the cavalry organized from the North Caucasus. It took a lot of energy.

Sheng Dehong was seriously dissatisfied with their progress, and planned to put some pressure on Ayuqihan.This guy is old now, and he seems to be no longer ambitious. The people on the east bank must keep an eye on them all the time, and give them a whip from time to time, otherwise they will not be able to do anything. In the end, they will rot completely and be killed by Russia, which went south like locusts. People drown.

"Tell Ayuqihan, don't be afraid of losing manpower. Our government will consider it as appropriate, and give them some Indians or Mestizos. The number will not be less than [-]. As long as you follow us, the benefits will be indispensable." Sheng Dehong concluded Said.
