When Mabond heard Aziz talking about this issue, he became serious.
Mabond is very clear about the importance of the Cuman region. You must know that it is an area rich in oil resources. Once it is taken over and controlled by the empire, the empire can start to obtain an endless supply of oil from Cuman.
With this oil, the empire will become abundant and be able to develop its various plans more steadily.
The Ottomans didn¡¯t know what kind of treasures were hidden under the desert, so they were easily taken out and used in exchange for loans, weapons and other materials they needed.
Similarly, it is impossible for the Arab tribes living there to know what kind of wealth is hidden in the desert at their feet.
¡°In the Kumaon area, everything is covered with yellow sand, which is of no value at all.
Therefore, Mabande thought that it would be easy to control the Kumaon region.
But now it seems that it is not what he imagined.
Why does this happen?
Mabond was a little confused.
However, he was unable to grasp the truth of the matter in a short period of time.
Therefore, he can now only get some of the information he needs from Aziz, the old man of the Bagir tribe who is sitting in front of him and talking eloquently, and then make some judgments.
¡°These are all the fault of the Ottomans.¡±
Faced with Mabond¡¯s doubts, old man Aziz revealed the driving force behind this incident.
But why did the Ottomans do this?
You know, there is no value in Cuman, so the Ottomans wouldn¡¯t do this, right?
MaBangDe was puzzled.
"Why did the Ottomans do this?"
Mabond asked.
Aziz shook his head and said: "I actually don't know the reason for this, but I think the Ottomans were unwilling to give up the Cuman area. Otherwise, they wouldn't have announced that Cuman has changed. When I was the master, I secretly said some things in private that could easily lead to ambition."
Mabond quickly analyzed the information in his mind and guessed why the Ottomans did this.
Soon, Mabond guessed that a woman was inseparable from ten.
Thinking about it, the Ottomans were actually quite reluctant to give up the barren land of Cuman.
Although Cuman is full of sand and has few products, it is still the land of the Ottomans after all.
When the Ottomans got Cuman, they had to pay a price in blood.
But now, it has been handed over to the empire so easily, so the Ottomans must feel very uncomfortable.
But. The Cuman region was destined to be handed over to the Empire.
Otherwise, the empire would not fulfill the agreement it had signed and lend such a large loan to the Ottomans, thereby alleviating the financial crisis of the Ottomans.
"However, if we can secretly set a stumbling block to make things difficult for the empire in Cuman, it is still possible.
Thinking about it, the Ottomans may have created such a situation under the influence of this kind of thinking.
Of course, this does not exclude the possibility that the Ottomans will get a loan. Let the domestic economic crisis stabilize. Then the Ottomans will use some other means to regain the possibility of recapturing the Cuman region.
After all, there is no real friendship between countries, and treaties and agreements signed can also be torn up.
Who knows what the Ottomans will do when the time comes.
To know. Now that the empire is in turmoil in the northern Ottoman Empire, it is also secretly using unknown methods.
Therefore, if we think about it this way, we cannot think of the Ottomans as too simple and beautiful.
Although the Cuman area is a piece of yellow sand. There are no valuable properties, but there are many large and small tribes living there in the Cuman area.
Individually, these tribes are nothing, but together they are. It also has a large population.
And in this world that can still be considered a cold weapon age, population can be considered valuable.
So, could it be that the Ottomans secretly did this kind of thing because of the population of these tribes?
Um!
If you think about it carefully, it should be possible.In MaBangde's mind, he was quickly thinking about the possibilities, as well as some key questions, guesses and judgments.
If he can be appointed as the governor of the Cairo Concession, Mabond must have something special about him.
Otherwise, why would so many Chinese people choose him to be the governor?
Therefore, Mabond has analyzed many problems.
¡°As for the tribes in the Cuman area, it was not so easy to fall into the hands of the Ottoman Empire.
They have been living in this desert for generations. If you want to get these tribes and people, you must use some extraordinary means.
At the same time, these tribes should not be allowed to hate the Ottoman side.
So, how can we do this?
In fact, this is very simple, that is war and turmoil.
No matter what, although there are killings among the various tribes living in the Cuman area, people still hope to have a stable living environment in their hearts, right?
¡°Besides, vendettas between tribes don¡¯t happen every day.
Even if something like this happens, only a few people will die in Dingtian, and the impact on various tribes will not be much.
However, when the balance of the region is broken, and laws and rules do not exist. Then this area will become completely different, it can even be said to be a hell on earth.
Once such a problem occurs, these tribes will have to start thinking seriously and care about survival.
Stay and be swept away by the turmoil in the Cuman region and drain the last drop of blood of the tribe, or move to a peaceful place so that the tribe can live in peace.
"With these two choices, as long as the tribal leaders are not idiots, they should know which one is the right one to choose.
Of course, there are exceptions to those who are full of ambition and some old-fashioned and stubborn people.
And among the remaining tribes. Because there are no restrictions, war will definitely break out between them.
As for the owner of that land, they won¡¯t think about it.
For those who are ambitious, as long as they can occupy Cuman and conquer all the tribes.
Even if people from the Song Empire come to take over the Cuman area, they can handle it.
¡°After all, these people don¡¯t know much about the Song Empire, nor do they know how powerful the Song Empire is.
Therefore, it is not surprising that such ideas will arise.
Having thought through this, Ma Bond has already made some calculations in his mind.
Moreover. The old man sitting in front of him proves that things are not hopelessly bad yet.
Some people are ambitious, some want to take advantage of the chaos to avenge the feud between tribes, and some people have spotted an opportunity and want to obtain some suitable benefits.
Everyone¡¯s thoughts are different, and everyone¡¯s thoughts are also different.
¡°Think about it, the Ottomans were unwilling to hand over the Cuman region to us, so that¡¯s why they created such a mess, right?¡±
Mabond sneered.
To be honest, he doesn¡¯t have a good impression of the Ottomans himself.
Descendants of Turks. It stands to reason that they have enmity with Chinese people.
As a supporter of Chinese chauvinism, how can I have a favorable impression of Turks?
"It is the wise Governor-General."
Aziz quickly complimented.
Mabond waved his hand: "What wisdom? You have made it so clear. If I still can't see this, then I will really be a pig."
Mabond was not dazzled by old man Aziz¡¯s compliments.
"It seems that you are going to join the empire?"
Mabond also guessed Aziz¡¯s intention at this time.
"We learned about the power of the empire through the merchants. Therefore, we are full of hope for the Cuman region under the rule of the empire."
Aziz nodded in response.
"Who doesn't want to vassal the powerful? We also hope to have a stable, peaceful and peaceful living environment, but the Ottomans cannot do this. So"
"So you hope we can do it?" Mabond smiled.
¡°Yes, you can say that.¡± Aziz admitted. "However, we still hope to see you showWith such strength, we can truly make up our minds. "
"Yes, if you don't show your strength to others, how can they really rely on you?"
¡°The arrival of Aziz and the others was just to see if the people of the Song Empire were really as powerful as those businessmen said.
If it were not the case at all, Aziz and the others would have found another way.
"You will see that I will never let you down. I have a 4,000-man regiment on hand, which should be enough to stabilize the situation in the Cuman area. At the same time, I also hope that you can send a few people to do it Guide, provide us with some convenience.¡±
"You don't need to say what you want. When the Cuman region is stabilized, you will get what you want. I can also guarantee you that Cuman under the empire will become very rich. Your tribe's People will also become richer and their lives will be dozens of times better than they are now.¡±
Mabond dared to make such a promise without Aziz negotiating any conditions.
The strong confidence released from him made Aziz¡¯s eyes widen and his mouth grew so big that he couldn¡¯t close it for a long time.
"I know you don't believe the empty talk, so let me show you the army I have first."
MaBangde feels that these country bumpkins should be opened up first.
¡°Otherwise, they won¡¯t believe what they promise.
And before Aziz had time to say many things, he was blocked by Mabond.
Originally, Aziz wanted to use some of the tribe¡¯s advantages to talk to the other party. He hoped to get some promises of benefits, but the other party didn't give him a chance at all.
This made Aziz disappointed and a little uncomfortable at the same time.
Were the people of the Song Empire too arrogant?
Do they think the Cuman area is really that easy to get?
It¡¯s okay, let them suffer a little first, and then the benefits you can get from here will be greater.
At the same time, he also wanted to see what the army in the governor's hands looked like and why he had so much confidence.
" Moreover, there are only four thousand people, which is nothing in the Cuman area.
However, there are some things that Aziz is too lazy to say.
Let these Song people be arrogant for a while. After they suffer a loss, will you be able to speak loudly soon?
To be honest, these people have also lived here in the concession for some time.
Through his observations over the past few days, Aziz knew very well that the empire was very rich.
You know, Cairo is just a small concession. I heard that on another continent in the distant ocean, that is the heart of the empire.
And the concession is so prosperous, so as the heart of the local empire, won't it become even more prosperous?
At the same time, it is a good thing that the Song Empire has money.
By then, they will be able to get more and better benefits from the empire, right?
What Aziz didn¡¯t know was that the empire was so powerful that he couldn¡¯t imagine it (To be continued)
