Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Kill these outsiders, the Cuman Desert does not belong to them, but to the brave Megra people!  Destroy them, drive them away, Cuman does not need the rule of outsiders!

    In the endless desert, thousands of knights riding camels and wearing white Arabian robes rushed out from behind a sand dune. They waved their scimitars in their hands, shouted and rushed towards a neatly formed formation opposite them.  Queues numbering in the thousands.

    This team, lined up in neat lines and wearing red fitted uniforms, is the army of the Song Empire.

    The flag bearers in the team have erected the imperial flag high. The five-star red flag that Zhao Hongyu decided to use as the national flag is vibrating in the wind and making a "lie" sound at this moment.

    With the support of the empire, Siwex's offensive in Hungary is progressing very smoothly. As long as he can defeat the mercenary group sent by the church, he can achieve a stable period for more than half a year.

    It can be said that the Cairo Intelligence Department selected Siwicks to support, which is a very wise choice.

    "Compared to Cairo's progress in the rebel army, after reaching a loan agreement with the Ottomans and obtaining ownership of the Cuman Desert area, there was a little trouble.

    Legally speaking, the desert area of ??Cuman is already considered the territory of the empire.

    Because the rulers here were originally Ottomans, but the Ottomans were now short of money. In order to borrow a large sum of money from the empire, they took Cuman out and gave it to the empire as a gift.

    ¡°Anyway, the Cuman Desert is a completely barren land for the Ottomans.

    There is nothing produced here, and there is nothing valuable.

    Therefore, there is nothing distressing about giving it to the Song Empire.

    Now that you can use it to please the Song Empire, gain its favor, and successfully borrow the money you need, it can be considered a waste.

    However, although the Ottomans took Cuman out, privately the Ottomans felt a little uncomfortable.

    Don¡¯t look at it. The Cuman area is completely a world formed by yellow sand.  There was no farming and no mineral resources, but even so it was Ottoman territory.

    In order to gain the right to rule here, the Ottomans also fought here with the Arab tribes in the Cuman area and paid a high price.

    But now the Song Empire has nothing to lose, it completely owns this place.

    Of course the Ottomans would feel uncomfortable.

    But the Ottomans selectively forgot that this was not something the Song Empire forced them to give, but something they themselves were rushing to give the Cuman region to the empire.

    The shameless Ottomans, after evacuating Cuman¡¯s defenders, officials and tax collectors, created a power vacuum in Cuman.

    In fact, it doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s just like this.  Anyway, after the Song Empire's army stationed, it was just a change of ruler, and it was no different to the Arab tribes living here.

    As long as the rules of the Ottoman period are maintained, everything will be business as usual.

    But the Ottomans secretly did something bad and stirred up the hidden tribal hatreds between the regions. A dispute broke out between the tribes, which then led to a war that swept all the tribes in the Cuman region.

    At the same time, the three largest tribes in the Cuman region.  He also became ambitious under the instigation of the Ottomans and decided to become the master of the Cuman region.

    As for the nominal and legal owner of the Song Empire, the three major tribes who are now fascinated by ambition have not considered it at all.

    In their view.  Who knows where the so-called Song Empire came from.

    Moreover, I heard from the Ottomans that the Song Empire was far away from Cuman, and it was impossible to send too many troops to station here.

    Therefore, as long as the three major tribes decide the winner.  Then the tribe that finally controls Cuman will definitely be able to expel the so-called Song Empire.

    Although the Cuman region is not large, it is still very attractive to be able to become the dominant tribe in a region.

    Especially the Ottomans.  It was also hinted that if it really succeeded, the victorious tribe would be allowed to establish an Arab kingdom.

    This is a kingdom!

    How could it not be tempting?

    Moreover, the three major tribes can completely use this opportunity to annex other small and medium-sized tribes to strengthen themselves.

    Even if the war here in the Cuman region fails, you can take the tribe and move to other places.It¡¯s easy to go, isn¡¯t it?

    It is precisely because of this factor that a storm broke out in the Cuman area in a short period of time, with large tribes annexing small and medium-sized tribes. Except for those who were bewitched by the Ottomans in the early stage, all the people who had brought the entire tribe migrated to the territory controlled by the Ottomans.  In addition to the tribes above, the remaining tribes were all involved in this storm.

    And, to this day, the three major tribes in the Cuman region have completed the preliminary preparations for the war, and have annexed or destroyed all the small and medium-sized tribes.

    Of course, it is not accurate to say all of them, because now in the Cuman region, there is only a coalition composed of Bedouin tribes that has not been annexed or destroyed.

    As long as this Bedouin tribal alliance is resolved by the three major tribes, then the war in the Cuman region will begin.

    No one thinks that the Bedouin can support it. After all, any of the three major tribes that the Bedouin face is much stronger than them.

    Whether it is the wealth and population of the tribe, or the warriors.

    The tribal alliances of the Bedouin are completely incomparable.

    Many people believe that it is only a matter of time before the Bedouin tribal alliance is resolved by the three major tribes.

    If there is any difference, it is that we don¡¯t know if the Bedouin Tribal Federation has been annexed or completely wiped out in this desert world.

    If they are annexed, who knows which of the three major tribes will be annexed?

    It can be seen that no one here can think highly of the Bedouin.

    Even among the Bedouin themselves, there are some depressed voices about this.

    However, the Bedouins are stubborn at heart. Although the enemies they face are very powerful, it is still impossible for them to surrender like this.

    They would rather fight the enemy to the last moment than grovel like this.

    This is not what the Bedouin leaders meant.  It means that the entire Bedouin tribe unites everyone, including ordinary tribesmen who also have this idea.

    The stubbornness and pride inherent in the Bedouin people are sometimes really incomprehensible.

    But you have to admire them.

    However, it is precisely because of this that the Bedouin have been inherited until now in the desert world where the jungle is strong.

    ¡°Compared with the pessimists among the Bedouins, there are still some who are optimistic.

    Unlike the pessimists, optimism believes that they cannot perish like this.

    Nor will they be like the depressed faction who despair of hope and prepare to fight to the death with the three major tribes.

    People like Omar, the chief of the Bagir tribe, are relatively optimistic about the current situation.

    He believes that although the current situation in Cuman is very bad.  But it was probably also an opportunity for the Bedouins.

    If we can seize this opportunity, it is not impossible to restore the glory and reputation of the Bedouin ancestors.

    ¡°Moreover, he is not blindly optimistic. He has detailed plans and reliance on this in his heart.

    First of all, Chief Omar knew some of the reasons why the Ottomans withdrew from Cuman, and also got some information about the new ruler after the Ottomans left.

    He didn¡¯t know where the Song Empire was, but Chief Omar had heard a lot about the people of the Song Empire from businessmen who had been to Cairo and had contact with the Song Empire.

    Their products are very exquisite.  The weapons of the soldiers are very sophisticated This can determine whether the Song Empire is powerful or not.

    Of course, this is just a judgment.

    But with these words alone, Chief Omar could not make the decision to surrender to the Song Empire.  What really made him make this decision was the information he got from a European businessman.

    Although several countries in the Mediterranean are competing for hegemony.  Maritime trade has been disrupted.

    But there are still some businessmen from Europe who are willing to take big risks to come to Arabia to do business.

    After all, the more war there is, the higher the profits can be earned, right?

    ??And what a coincidence.  This European businessman who stayed for three days in the oasis originally controlled by the Bagir tribe had spent time in Manhattan City of the American Song Empire.

    So, from this guy¡¯s mouth.  Chief Oma learned some things about the Song Empire, especially the powerful army and warships of the Song Empire.

    Especially the record of the "Volunteer Army" of the Song Empire in the early stages of the European war made Chief Omar make up his mind to join the Song Empire.

    ¡°Besides, Chief Oma also has some calculations in mind.

    ?That means he knows that the Cuman region is far away from the Song Empire.  And the Song Empire really couldn't station too many troops here, so the Song Empire definitely needed local tribes to help them maintain the stability here.

    As long as the Bedouin choose to take refuge, the Song people will definitely spare no effort to support and support them.

    By then, wouldn¡¯t the status of the Bedouin be improved?

    At the same time, it goes without saying that you can also get more benefits.

    Of course, the premise of all this is that the Song Empire can help them fight or defeat the three major tribes.

    Otherwise, this plan would be just a fantasy.

    However, considering that the Song Empire¡¯s army was said to be so powerful, it should be possible to deal with the three major tribes.

    Even if your plan fails in the end, you can still leave Cuman and go to Cairo.

    I have to say that Omar is really shrewd.

    He found out clearly that the life in the concession in Cairo was prosperous and the environment was very good.

    If you leave Cuman, there is nothing wrong with living anywhere.

    Look, they have even chosen this fallback path.

    When everything was planned, Omar informed the other tribal elders and chiefs of the Bedouin about his plan, and received unanimous approval from everyone.

    So, there was the matter of that group of travelers appearing in Cairo.

    After seeing the emissary and hearing about the situation in the Cuman area, Mabond, the governor of the Cairo Concession, immediately sent an imperial army of 4,000 people to march towards Cuman.

    After the Imperial Army entered the Cuman Desert, their whereabouts were of course known to the three major tribes.

    In response to this, the three major tribes responded by sending cavalry to strangle the Imperial Army.

    Therefore, there was this encounter in the desert (To be continued)
