Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Arab tribal war in the Cuman region is already on the verge of breaking out.

    Faced with this situation, the Ottomans, who had given Cuman to the Song Empire, were secretly very happy.

    Although they sent Cuman away in order to obtain a large loan from the Song Empire, the Ottomans felt equally uncomfortable.

    Although the Cuman area is a barren land, and the various tribes living here are still unruly and have not submitted to the management of the Ottoman Empire.

    But no matter what, Cuman is considered part of the Ottoman Empire, right?

    When the Ottomans occupied the Cuman area, they paid a heavy price here.

    But now, the Song Empire has easily obtained this place. How can the Ottomans feel comfortable?

    However, the agreement has now begun to be implemented, and it is difficult for the Ottomans to overturn it.

    Therefore, they could only evacuate the garrison from Cuman and prepare to hand it over to the Song Empire to take over.

    "However, the Ottomans did not intend to let the Song Empire obtain this barren land so easily, so they secretly also made mischief and prepared to cause some trouble for the Song Empire.

    The current bad situation in Cuman is actually caused by the Ottomans.

    So, how could they be unhappy?

    It¡¯s just that this kind of happiness should be kept in the dark, and they won¡¯t show it casually.

    Nowadays, the war between the tribes in the Cuman region is about to break out, and the Song Empire has not officially taken over and managed it.

    The Ottomans also wanted to see how the Song Empire would take over this place in the face of such a bad situation.

    The Ottomans know the three major tribes in the Cuman region very well.

    Under the rule of Ottoman, they did not dare to say that they had truly conquered these three tribes.

    It can only be said that the Ottomans and the three major tribes have reached some unwritten rules.

    The three major tribes do not want to disrupt the stable situation. The Ottomans need to obtain as much tax as possible. As long as the public security is not too chaotic, the Ottomans will not care so much.

    In addition, the Ottoman Empire was indeed the most powerful country during this period, so it was impossible for the three major tribes to challenge the Ottoman Empire during this period.

    ?That is to say.  Some disharmonious factors in the Cuman region were entirely the result of suppression by the powerful military power of the Ottomans.

    Now that the Ottomans have withdrawn from Cuman, there has suddenly been a power vacuum here, and there are no rules at all.

    Therefore, all the troubles that were previously regulated and suppressed by the Ottomans have now exploded.

    Needless to say about the small tribes, the three major tribes are all entangled in different hatreds.

    In this desert.  Vendettas for survival are not uncommon.

    Therefore, it is not surprising that there is such hatred between the three major tribes.

    It can be said that the three major tribes also have a feuding and hostile relationship. Usually these hatreds are suppressed by the Ottomans and do not break out.

    But now it is completely different. The Ottomans have withdrawn from this area.  How could the three major tribes that were suppressed not have conflicts?

    Revenge!  Benefit!  More importantly, ambition!

    When these points are mixed together, war is inevitable.

    For the Ottomans, the Cuman region was a barren land. There were no rich products and minerals here. Even if they were given to the Song Empire, there would be nothing to regret.

    But this world of yellow sand has a different meaning to the Arab tribes living here.

    ?Except for some tribes who were bewitched by the Ottomans to migrate.  The three major tribes and most of the small and medium-sized tribes did not migrate away but chose to stay.

    They are unwilling to leave this yellow sand world chosen by their ancestors, and they must continue to follow their ancestors' will and continue to survive here.

    "Otherwise, wouldn't they feel sorry for the ancestors who shed their blood and lost their lives for you?"

    However, the tribes who chose to stay had a hard time, because the conflicts between the three major tribes began to spread and swept them all into it.

    At the beginning, small conflicts broke out between the three major tribes.  A large-scale war did not begin immediately.

    After all, the top leaders of the three major tribes are not idiots.

    Therefore, they all unanimously chose to annex and conquer those small and medium-sized tribes immediately,??Grow your own strength.

    Because annexing and conquering these small and medium-sized tribes can not only strengthen one's own strength, but also reduce the opportunities for opponents to grow.

    Although the three major tribes have not yet broken out into a large-scale tribal war, anyone with a brain knows that after the three major tribes conquer and annex all the small and medium-sized tribes in Cuman.  Then war will break out.

    This is no surprise.

    And now the integration here in the Cuman Desert is coming to an end.

    Except for the union of a dozen small tribes of the Bedouin, basically all other tribes have been integrated and annexed by the three major tribes.

    Now the energy of the three major tribes is focused on the Bedouin alliance.

    As long as the Bedouin were conquered.  Then a war between the three major tribes will definitely break out.

    So, now people are watching to see when the Bedouin will fall.

    Facing the three aggressive tribes, although the Bedouin, the last free tribe in the Cuman region, united, they still could not resist any of the three tribes.

    The reason is simple, the opponent is too powerful.

    There are a total of thirteen small tribes in the Bedouin Federation. The largest tribe has only seven or eight thousand people, and the smallest Bajir tribe has less than five thousand people.

    The combined population of everyone has just exceeded 50,000, and the number of soldiers is only about 8,000 at best.

    Any one of the three major tribes can dispatch about 50,000 warriors, which is an absolute advantage in terms of numbers.

    Not to mention that each of the three major tribes has a population of three to four hundred thousand people, which is simply incomparable.

    Therefore, in the eyes of others, the Bedouin alliance is just trying to overestimate their capabilities.

    But how come the three major tribes that have grown up in the Cuman region never thought that the Bedouin did not choose to surrender to them and become vassals, but instead chose to join the Song Empire, the real owner of the Cuman region.

    This is something that the three major tribes never expected.

    Of course, even if the three major tribes knew the choice of the Bedouin tribes to unite, they would probably laugh at each other.

    Because they don¡¯t understand the Song Empire.  Not even interested in understanding.

    From the perspective of the three major tribes, can the people of the Song Empire be more powerful than the Ottomans?

    You must know that even if they are as powerful as the Ottomans, they still do not have to be polite to the three major tribes.

    When the Ottomans conquered the Cuman region, they fought fiercely with the three major tribes. After paying a very heavy price, they did not let the three major tribes surrender.

    It is precisely for this reason.  In the end, the Ottomans had to put down their dignity, signed some agreements with the three major tribes and paid some benefits, before they gained the right to rule the Cuman region.

    Although the three major tribes suffered heavy losses at the beginning, they successfully won their interests from the Ottomans with courage and unyielding.

    Therefore, the Song Empire first wanted to take over the Cuman region from the Ottomans.  So how can it be so easy.

    In their hands, the Ottomans could suffer losses, but it was no different when the Song Empire came.

    What's more, the three major tribes now have a large population, so they might not be able to try to rule Cuman.

    They don¡¯t know where the Song Empire is.

    But one thing the Ottomans revealed privately was that the Song Empire was very far away from Cuman.  And it's separated by a vast ocean.

    In other words, although the Song Empire had the right to rule the Cuman region, they had no way to send absolute military force to control it.

    ??This way, it gives the three major tribes a chance.

    Yes, it¡¯s an opportunity.

    Why can¡¯t they rule the Cuman region?

    Isn¡¯t it bad for Arabs to rule Arabs?

    There is no need for outsiders to rule themselves. They can establish a country belonging to the Arabs in Cuman.

    Once this kind of ambition appears, it is impossible to suppress it.

    After all, if it succeeds.  The benefits it can bring are obvious.

    However, there are three tribes with strong military power here.

    Therefore, for the sake of future dominance, the three major tribes will not all break out into war.

    Besides, the three major tribes still have a hatred relationship with each other, so taking this opportunity to take revenge and fight for hegemony is to kill two birds with one stone.

    I just feel sorry for those small and medium-sized studentsFall.  annexed and conquered in the process.

    It was precisely because of the Ottomans' bewitchment that the three major tribes did not take the Song Empire into their eyes at all.

    In their view, it was really a joke for the Song Empire, which was unable to mobilize its absolute military power, to take over Cuman.

    at the same time.  The Ottomans took advantage of this mentality of the three major tribes and sold some inferior weapons to the three major tribes, making huge profits.

    You should know that in addition to borrowing money from Mabande, Prince Mustafa, who was sent as envoy to the Ottomans, also purchased tens of thousands of fine steel weapons and armor from the concession.

    Now, the goods have been delivered in the concession.

    The Ottomans were of course very happy to have obtained these sophisticated weapons and armors. After all, the combat effectiveness of legions equipped with these sophisticated weapons could be greatly improved.

    However, the Ottomans also had to face a small trouble.

    That is, after being equipped with these sophisticated weapons and armors, some old weapons and armors will inevitably be eliminated.

    It would be very wasteful to throw these obsolete weapons and armors into the warehouse if they are no longer good.

    After all, these weapons and armors that have been eliminated are not a small number, but also a large sum of money.

    Therefore, in order not to waste these weapons and armors, the Ottomans took advantage of the unstable situation in the Cuman region to sell these eliminated goods to the three major tribes in large quantities.

    After obtaining these weapons and armor, the three major tribes became more confident.

    Although these weapons and armors were eliminated by the Ottomans.

    But in the Cuman area, these are all good things, which you can¡¯t usually buy even if you want to.

    Therefore, the three major tribes can be regarded as "changing a shotgun for a cannon", and the fire of their ambition is burning and cannot be extinguished.
