    Borrowing the donkey from the slope, Mabond agreed to the "small request" of the Bedouin leaders and promised to select some adult warriors from these tribes to join the concession army to contribute to the concession.

    With this, the Bedouin leaders finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    "You let them eat for nothing, these people really can't eat.

    ¡°If they were to be of some use and work in the concession, they wouldn¡¯t have such worries.

    It can be said that this matter is beneficial to both Mabond and the Thirteen Tribes.

    So, of course, Mabond will not be so stupid as to refuse.

    In this way, in the next few days, Mabond successively selected 2,000 adult warriors from the thirteen tribes, organized them into an independent unit, and began training.

    Mabond doesn¡¯t have high expectations for this force. He only needs them to be of some use when a crisis arises.

    Therefore, some of the training contents and subjects are very different from those of the regular imperial army.

    Mabond did not train them in some subjects that only the regular army of the empire could touch.

    However, in order to ensure a certain combat effectiveness after training, Mabond still brought out the five-stage shooting and musketry skills that the Imperial Army must master.

    After all, this tactic is nothing, and it has been learned and practiced by various countries in Europe.

    Therefore, there is no need for Mabond to choke and hide it. It is better to take it out now and let the thirteen tribes see it and sigh at his "selfishness".

    But apart from that, Mabond will not come up with much more.

    "It is impossible for Mabond to teach this army such as trench digging and some more modern tactics and tactics.

    even so.  The thirteen tribes were also very satisfied.

    ??At least, in their eyes, Mabond truly treated them as his own people and taught the team of tribal warriors without any reservation.

    At this point, the tribal leaders and chiefs are very satisfied and grateful.

    Compared to the Ottomans, the people of the Song Empire made them more comfortable.

    It¡¯s just that they don¡¯t know that in fact Mabond has nothing to offer at all, and for a Chinese person like Mabond, he will never trust the Bedouin.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off¡±: Mabond seems to be very friendly.  In fact, this is not the case at all.

    Of course, Mabond hid these very well and would not be discovered.

    But no matter what, the Thirteen Tribes migrated to the Cairo Concession. They have escaped the quagmire of crisis in Cuman and can live here safely.

    After solving the problem of the thirteen tribes, Mabond focused all his energy on the Cuman region.

    Cuman is close to the Persian Gulf. In modern times, it is the Kuwait area. The oil resources here are very rich.  therefore.  Controlling Cuman means controlling rich oil resources.

    In the near future, the oil in Cuman will provide a new opportunity for the development of the empire.

    Moreover.  These things must be considered first. You cannot wait until you need to think about them. That will waste a lot of time, right?

    Therefore, Mabond felt that since he had such an opportunity.  If you don't catch it, you will really be sorry for the empire and yourself.

    So, now Zhang Xiao has led four thousand troops into Cuman, and almost a month has passed.  I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on with Zhang Xiao.  This made Mabond feel a little worried.

    Since the Thirteen Tribes arrived in the Cairo Concession ten days ago, there has been no news from Cuman.

    Therefore, Mabond never received any news from Kuman in the past ten days, which had to make him feel worried.

    After all, Ma Bangde is different from Zhang Tie, Wang Shan and other people in high positions. He is also a person who has not been granted permission to purchase materials from the virtual trader.

    Therefore, it is impossible for him to be like Wang Shan and Zhang Tie who can purchase the supplies he needs through the virtual world anytime and anywhere, and provide them to his men to carry out some of their military operations.

    So, Ma Bonde will inevitably have some worries about Zhang Xiao.

    This is a normal thing.

    You must know that the Imperial Army led by Zhang Xiao is not an elite force.That's wrong, but the environment in Cuman is very harsh, which is quite disadvantageous for them.

    Furthermore, Zhang Xiao and the others carry a limited amount of supplies. Once they encounter large-scale battles, they will run out of supplies in just a few times.

    So, if such a situation occurs, no matter how good the Imperial Army is, Jingru will suffer heavy casualties, and it is possible that the entire army may be annihilated.

    Hand-to-hand combat is also a very cruel battle for the Imperial Army.

    In terms of combat, the Imperial Army does not have any advantage.

    What¡¯s more, the three major tribes in the Cuman region still have a numerical advantage.  If Zhang Xiao and the others run out of supplies and have to engage in hand-to-hand combat, Mabond really doesn't have the slightest confidence in this.

    Although he was determined to transport supplies into Cuman and provide Zhang Xiao with a certain degree of protection.

    However, now the Thirteen Tribes have migrated to the Cairo Concession and left the Cuman Desert.

    "And when the Thirteen Tribes leave, Zhang Xiao will definitely leave the original location of the Thirteen Tribes to avoid the sharp edges of the three major tribes.

    So, without knowing the exact whereabouts of Zhang Xiao and the others, it is impossible for Mabond to recklessly let people transport supplies into Cuman.

    If one of them fails, these supplies will fall into the hands of the three major tribes.

    Therefore, Mabond now needs to wait for news from Zhang Xiao, and after reestablishing contact with Zhang Xiao, determine a location and time before he can mobilize supplies into Kuman to replenish Zhang Xiao.

    "It's a pity that the last news from Zhang Xiao was obtained ten days ago after following the concession in the Thirteen Tribes area.  In other words, since the Thirteen Tribes moved to the concession, there has been no news about Zhang Xiao.

    It is precisely because of this that Mabond is worried.

    But he also knows that since some things are already like this, no matter how much he worries, it will not help.

    so.  He could only pray to God secretly, hoping that there would be no accidents on Zhang Xiao's side.

    At the same time, Mabond also gritted his teeth with hatred for the Ottomans who secretly provoked the instability in Cuman and led to the current situation.

    Yes, if it weren¡¯t for the Ottomans, Cuman wouldn¡¯t have become such a mess now.

    But now the Ottomans are not too worried. The battle in the Mediterranean is in full swing. The Ottomans have not taken advantage of it. Instead, they have lost a lot of warships.

    Portugal and France firmly guarded the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea.  Withstood the offensive of the church-military alliance vassal states.

    At the same time, because of Mabande¡¯s secret funding, the former Ottoman northern rebel group that occupied the Principality of Hungary has established a firm foothold in the Principality of Hungary.

    A few days ago, intelligence came in that the Hungarian Archduke who had returned to his army had been defeated by the rebel army, and the entire army was annihilated at the border of the Principality of Hungary.

    Therefore, there will be no war in the Principality of Hungary in the short term.  The rebels can be given a period of stable development.

    This news is not good for the Ottomans.

    Because the rebels occupied the Principality of Hungary and had a large territory and population, they put a lot of pressure on the northern part of the Ottoman Empire.

    You must know that the rebels are composed of Serbs.  and other ethnic minorities from the northern part of the former Ottoman Empire. These people were beaten very hard by the Ottomans, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they hated the Ottomans to the core.

    "Otherwise, there would not have been riots and uprisings.

    Now the other party occupies the Principality of Hungary.  With the territory, population and tax revenue, they got rid of the early disadvantages of the rebel army and began to gradually gain some advantages.

    foreseeable.  Once the rebel forces occupying the Principality of Hungary are allowed to develop for a period of time, these people will definitely take action against the northern Ottomans.

    After all, there is irreconcilable hatred between the two sides.

    And because of the unfavorable suppression of the Serbian rebels, some other areas within the Ottoman Empire began to show signs of instability.

    At the same time, after the Serbian rebel army successfully occupied the Principality of Hungary, some careerists also saw opportunities.

    Many people will think that since the other party can succeed, the Ottomans have nothing to do.  So why can't I do it myself?

    Therefore, the Ottomans are really troubled by the current situation.

    Of course, this is not a good thing.

    However, there are also some relatively sober people among the Ottomans, but they see something in this.??Big benefit.

    That is, if they can strangle the rebels, in addition to eliminating the hidden danger of unrest, they can also take advantage of the situation and occupy a base like the Principality of Hungary to expand the territory of the empire.

    Therefore, the Ottomans began to gather troops in the north, preparing to take action against the rebel forces occupying the Principality of Hungary.

    However, it is not that easy to mobilize an army in this era. It will take at least a year and a half to accomplish.  Therefore, the rebel army still has a stable development period that they can take advantage of.

    As long as you can seize the entire opportunity, enhance your own strength, and train the soldiers of the rebel army at the same time.  Then, there may not be any chance of winning against the Ottoman army in the future.

    However, it is not that easy for the Ottomans to launch military operations against the rebels.  They also have a lot of work to do before this.

    At the same time, the Ottomans also had to consider that they could move faster than the church-military alliance.

    After all, the Principality of Hungary was occupied and the original Grand Duke of Hungary was defeated.  This is a real slap in the face, and it is impossible for the church forces to remain indifferent to this.

    Therefore, the Ottomans must defeat the rebels and occupy the Principality of Hungary before the church forces take action.

    Otherwise, everything is just empty talk.

    However, the church power is not having a hard time now, so the Ottomans still have a great chance.  (To be continued)
