"This Ottoman Empire is really a common coup. There have been many times in history, and I can't count them, but the country has not been dispersed, which is also strange. Well, this may be related to their national character and culture, and the legacy of the grassland. After the coup, it will admit defeat, and others will not stick to each other, and those who succeed will not pursue the loser's followers. However, it is better for our country not to get involved in this atmosphere. Every coup, even if it is not large in scale and intensity, will definitely damage the country's vitality in the end." Sheng Dehong, wrapped in a fur coat, threw a document on the table and shook his head and said.

It is already mid-February 1704, and the Baltic Sea is the season of heavy snow. However, in a coastal manor outside Zecheng, Sheng Dehong has lived here for more than a month.

This manor was originally owned by a local German merchant. Because of his shameful relationship with the Prussians, and he committed the crime of smuggling, he was directly arrested by agents from the newly established Syphilis Statistical Investigation Bureau. At present, he disappeared. The manor was naturally conquered and confiscated and converted into a state-owned farm. It also has the function of a government guesthouse for business personnel to rest and stay.

Sheng Dehong came to Danze County on a boat to inspect. The county government officials originally planned to receive grandly, but he insisted on staying in the guesthouse, so everyone could only give up. Although the scenery of this farm is good, if it comes in summer, it would be a place of recuperation. Unfortunately, it will be winter, and the wind will be roaring. Even though the fireplace is burned in the house, a trace of cold air still feels infiltrating in. Sheng Dehong's style has made him look much taller. He was originally a sinister and cruel feeling because of his intelligence officer.

The news of the Ottoman coup has been transmitted from the intelligence network of the East Coast people to Shengdehong at all costs. It has only been two months since time passed, and this efficiency is much better than that of the Nordic countries. It also reflects from the fact that after decades of hard work, the intelligence transmission network of the East Coast people in Europe has taken shape.

Sheng Dehong was quite satisfied with the conditions that Wu Yifei and Herberry had discussed with him. He was not worried at all about whether Herberry would abide by it. The reason was actually very simple. At present, the Koprulu family cannot do without the support of the East Coast people. Whether it is financial loans or military orders, he needs the help of the East Coast people. In addition, he also wants to revitalize the dilapidated Turkish economy, which is even more inseparable from the help of the East Coast: Do you want to export your wool and leather? Do you want someone to ask for your minerals? Your production technology is so backward, do you want to introduce advanced machines? As long as Heraberry is still rational, he dare not not cooperate with the East Coast people.

As for the years, when Herabury's wings become hard and the situation is stable, will he turn against others? That's even more impossible. After getting on the pirate ship, he still wants to come down? It's not that easy! Not to mention anything else, the East Coast has helped you train so many civil servants and generals. What do they think? Have you considered Herabury? Do you really support you?

"Write a letter to Herabery. For the specific wording, you should organize it. The general idea is that the Ottoman Empire is currently extremely weak, economically difficult, and people are in distress. What we need now is to recuperate, not to be strong and military." After drinking a cup of hot tea to cheer up, Sheng Dehong said: "The top priority is to let the farmers return to their land. The Makarina system must be abolished, and tax collectors must also rectify it. Many people have evolved into local bullies. Agriculture without enough output is unnecessary. Let them make the agriculture first."

The secretary nodded, recorded the key points of Sheng Dehong's conversation, and planned to organize the language and write a secret letter to Herabury after going back. This guy seems to be incredible at the moment, but he is actually facing a mess. Aifendi, a religious maniac who only knows how to launch jihad, has long made the country's economy full of holes, and it will not be possible if he doesn't rectify it.

"I am very satisfied that the Crimean Tatars did not participate in the Turkish rebellion this time. Although there were some rumors before, saying that the princes of Crimea (the Grey family and the Ottoman family have been intermarried for many years, and strictly speaking, the son-in-law can also compete for the throne, which is a precedent on the grassland) went to Istanbul to inherit the throne of the Sultan, but the Grey family resisted the temptation and did not jump out to cause trouble, which shows their political wisdom.

OK, very good, the Grey family can get my reward. Tell DeFulet (the new Khan of Crimea), do it well, this year's military aid will be available in the middle of the year, and I will reward him with an additional 100 artillery." Sheng Dehong closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but he kept saying: "The Russians are currently fighting against the Swedes in the north, which is a very good opportunity for the Crimea Khanate. Of course, I am not saying that he wants to start a war, that

It is an extremely stupid act! Don’t provoke the Russians, don’t provoke Cossacks, and do your best to reform the internal affairs. The national tax reform that had been discussed before can be implemented, don’t be afraid that someone will stand up and oppose it. This is an important step for Crimea to move forward to a new life and must not be interrupted! Let Defulet make good use of his new army, which is formed at a high price, not as a decorative arrangement, whoever opposes, will beat anyone! If you are still unsatisfied, directly suppress it, and we will support him with all our strength! Those feudal armed or tribal soldiers are not opponents of the new army, and I am very confident about this, and the Grey family must also have confidence. In the past, only 30% of this country belongs to them, but now the opportunity is in front of you, so 70% or even 80% of this country belongs to them. If Defulet still cares about it, there is no need to keep it. Anyway, there are so many people in the surname Grey, so who can be the Khan."

Sheng Dehong's words were domineering, which also highlighted his confidence. The Eastern Republic has been operating Crimea for decades, so how could it be without some means to keep the box? In Sheng Dehong's most secret safe, there were several secret letters written to him by important Crimean Khanate officials, generals and even other members of the Grey family. If Defulet really couldn't help him, he really didn't mind being a Khan, although the cost might be very high.

"Deflet Grey Khan sent 500 excellent war horses to Haji County a while ago, and said that he would fully implement the unified tax reform, and the rotation training of middle-level government officials will also be carried out in depth. The first phase of the government crash course in Haji County has been in full swing for more than a month, and 60 officials from Crimea customs, taxation, agriculture, administration and other departments are studying. Section Chief Zhou of the State Intelligence Administration said that everything is in control." The secretary said in a low voice.

"Well." Sheng Dehong snorted, indicating that he knew about this. Then, he said: "The Mongols of Weilat were too slow. Is they not able to fight or fear the Persian counterattack? Or are they afraid of the Ottoman Empire's accountability? They have not defeated the resistance of the Azerbaijanis, and the mountain people of the Caucasus were also making trouble in the rear. Is Ayuqi Khan old and unable to do so? Humph, write a letter to Ayuqi, telling him not to worry about the pressure of the Ottoman Empire. The mountain people of Caucasus who have quickly surrendered and rebelled, and then massacre them! What? After decades of good life, I can't carry the knife anymore? Are these still the Mongols who are powerful on the grassland? After getting the fired backyard, I rushed to Batumi and took down this ancient trading city for me and drank the Mali Sea."

Speaking of which, the Verrat Mongols of the North Caucasus also took advantage of the favorable opportunity of the Russian army being in the north and having no time to take care of it, gathered more than 30,000 people to go south (including 5,000 Caucasus servants). Under the guise of quelling the rebellion for the Ottoman Empire, the sect leader, crossed the Caucasus Mountains and entered the southern part of the mountain. After stalking around in Georgia, five thousand Chechens were left there to deal with the East Georgians. The more than 20,000 Mongolian cavalry in their homes rushed to the territory where the Azerbaijanis lived in accordance with the requirements of the East Coast people, burned, killed, looted, and expanded their territory.

The Azerbaijanis were a widely distributed nation in the Southern Caucasus with a large population. For hundreds of years, they were controlled by the Persians and paid tribute to it, but their autonomy was actually very high. However, after the Ottoman Empire defeated Persia several times and captured large swaths of land in later Iraq and western Iran, the Azerbaijanis became more and more energetic. Many tribes abandoned their old masters and began to pay tribute to the Ottoman Empire. This time, the Erath Mongols fought against the Ottomans, but there were also some tribes loyal to Persia. Therefore, they could be regarded as provoking the powers of the two major regional powers of the Ottomans and Persia, and their courage was quite large.

However, the pressure from the Ottoman side of the East Coast can help resolve it, 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 for their neighbors in the south and dared to fight. Therefore, when more than 20,000 Mongolian cavalry rushed into the traditional territory of the Azerbaijanis, they completely ignored the Persian warnings and attacked wantonly, and were very arrogant.

But what surprised the Mongols was that the resistance of the Azerbaijanis seemed to be a little powerful, causing considerable damage to the Mongolian cavalry, which made them very annoyed. In addition, the Caucasian mountaineers who were once in their government broke out again, not only cut off their supply routes, but also forced them to return to their troops and attack these rebellious mountaineers with the cavalry organized from the North Caucasus, which took a lot of energy.

Sheng Dehong was seriously dissatisfied with their progress and planned to put some pressure on Ayuqi Khan. This guy is old now and seems to be no longer ambitious. The people on the East Coast must keep an eye on him all the time and give him a whip from time to time, otherwise he will not be able to do anything, and in the end he will completely rot and be submerged by the Russians who are heading south like locusts.
