Novel Serbia (Kirovgrad).

Lord Sangovic is a tall middle-aged man. When he was in Belgrade, he was the best fencing player and a good rider.

As soon as he arrived in Ukraine, he immediately announced that he would double the number of registered Cossacks, which was immediately warmly welcomed by the local Cossacks.

After the Jews arranged by Rajp arrived, he also entrusted all government affairs including tax collection, business, and management of cities to them. The Jews naturally reciprocate and provided him with 100,000 Ducats (Venice gold coins, popular in Europe,

An interest-free loan worth nearly one Truchen silver coin.

Sangovic repaid in installments, with a repayment period of up to ten years, and the tax lost by Sangovic every year is minimal.

The leader of the Jews was a businessman named Judd from the Venetian Republic. Seeing that Sangovic trusted them so much, he naturally let go of his hands and feet.

They arrived here one after another since 1752. In this decade of cooperation, the relationship between the two parties can be described as collusion.

Without Truchen's rise, the Serbs and Jews would continue to expand their territory and power here, and they would be integrated into the Tsarist Russian Empire in the end.

But with Truchen's sudden appearance and showing strong strength, everything changed.

For Serbs, faith is the most critical. They are all Orthodox Christians, and naturally their hearts are towards the current powerful Tsarist Russian Empire.

For the Jews, seeing a country with freedom of religious belief emerged on the land of the Khanate of the past, it is an opportunity that cannot be missed for both the Restoration faction and the World faction.

What's more, not long ago, it was because of Truchen's intervention that a de facto Jewish country like Chishinau appeared.

For the Jews at this time, they had huge strength both in the open and in the dark, but that was mainly at the economic level and at the political level. In Europe, where the prevalence of sect

Needless to say, even the Ottoman Empire, which always maintained a policy of religious tolerance, was a third-class citizen.

So, without sending people to contact him, Judd and others had the idea of ​​going to Kishinau to join Nicholas.

However, Nicholas' appetite is obviously quite large. In his thoughts, since there is a precedent for Kishinau, can't it bloom everywhere on the edge of Europe?

What's more, the large number of castles in the Black Sea were actually built by merchants from the two major countries of Venice and Genoa. They were the real pioneers in the development of areas near the Black Sea, among which Jews occupied the vast majority, otherwise there would not be COSSA.

The rise of the Khanate.

Because he was the first to establish the country, Nicholas' status in the Freemasonry was obviously much higher. Judd and others agreed after careful consideration of his suggestions.

However, the territory of Novo Serbia is too narrow, and there is only a waterway of the Dnieper River that can communicate, which is far less convenient than the Principality of Kishinau, which already occupies a section of the western coast of the Black Sea.

So Judd decided to divide the Jews in Nova Serbia into two, half of them staying here, and the other half moved to Kishinau.

Unfortunately, these actions did not escape Sangovic's eyes.

When Qitad agreed to accept Tvorrogov and others at the western end of the buffer zone, Sangovic became nervous.

He immediately contacted Suvorov of Zaporoze. Suvorov was overwhelmed by Truchen's continuous expansion. He was overjoyed by the Sangovic who was delivered to him, so he naturally agreed.

However, Judd and others were not vegetarians. Not only were their people densely populated in Western Europe, Central Europe, and Southern Europe, but there were also many in Russia. Sangovic's actions were also known by Judd.

Judd was ready to talk to Sangovic openly.

Judd is a young old man in his forties who is gray-bearded and wearing glasses. In fact, he is not myopia, but he thinks that this thing can be used to conceal his expression. Although he is in the Mediterranean, where the situation is complicated this year.

, Black Sea Trading has been tempered by long ago and is no longer shocking to be favored and disgraced.

He came to Sangovic's mansion alone.

At this time, Sangovic was dancing his sword. After learning that Judd had arrived, he did not stop, but continued to practice until he was sweating profusely.

This made Judd a little worried that although he was higher than them in New Serbia, once he came, he would stop anything he had to meet him.

"Your swordsmanship is getting more and more powerful"

Judd gave a flatterer in real time.

Sangovic did not reply as usual, "There is no more praises, sir," but he still invited him into his reception room.

After the two sat down and drank tea, Judd immediately praised Sangovich's swordsmanship, figure and his newly trained Cossacks. As a businessman who has been traversing the Mediterranean and the Black Sea for many years, this skill is naturally not something that can be achieved.

Then, it naturally turns to the trade that you are good at.

"Your Excellency, we purchased a large amount of high-quality honey and wood in Polotsk not long ago, and are ready to ship it to Istanbul tomorrow"

(Polotsk, later generations of Belarus)

"You can just make the decision on these things yourself. What should I do?"

Judd thought about it all, but finally decided to tell him the truth.

"Your Excellency, the climate here is too cold, far less than that on the Black Coast. The Principality of Kishinau is now a permanent neutral country. It is a great place for doing business. We are ready to send some poor health to live there."

After saying this, Judd thought to himself: "You and I are just their masters. You are from the Sultan, and I am from the Great Vizier. Although Rajp lost his power, Koprulu

But the family is still there, they are still the largest noble family in the Ottoman Empire except the Sultan family”

"Besides, you are still a fake Islamist, and you are still looking to Orthodox Church in your heart. I have given you a lot of face to explain this matter"

So I prepared that no matter what Sangovic said next, it was decided that the matter of leaving for Kishinau tomorrow morning will not change.

Unexpectedly, Sangovic finally smiled.

"Sir, I never ask about your community, and I don't need to tell me, but don't delay the matter in New Serbia"

Judd replied naturally: "That's natural. Although some people have been moved away, all those who are left are elite soldiers and will not have any problems."

"What about you sir?"

"I will stay here, but I'll have to go to Chishinau first"

"Okay, I will go to the dock to see you off tomorrow morning"

Judd was shocked.

"He never did this before, what's wrong now?"

Seeing that his expression was not abnormal, Judd was slightly relieved, and thought of something, and said, "I heard that you are planning to expand the number of Cossacks in the book to three thousand. In order to help you complete this matter smoothly, I decided to be a personal one.

Donate 10,000 Dukat in the name”

Sangovic smiled, "thank you, thank you"

....

In the early morning, Sangovic's mansion.

A black figure suddenly came to the back door. Not long after, Sangovic's bedroom lit up, followed by the reception room.

Sangovic did not look sleepy, but was excited and obviously hadn't been asleep.

There was a man crawling in front of him, with black curly hair, in his twenties, Caucasian face, but his skin was dark.

Such people had a name in Europe at this time - the Roma people, which were actually famous gypsies in later generations.

Jews are always inquiring about news and market conditions when doing business everywhere. Such things are most suitable for the Roma people who are used to wandering around.

Some people will also be taken as slaves by the Jews.

"Sir, they are going to move to Kishinau with a hundred households, all of whom are the richest, and even Judd's house is finished."

"Really?"

"Real"

Sangovic nodded, threw him a small bag of money bags that had been prepared long ago and let him leave.

Sangovic came to another courtyard, stopped in front of a house, and after hesitating for a while, hesitated, he still knocked on the door.

Soon, a short and fat man came out of it. The man looked sleepy, but when he saw it was Sangovic, he still smiled.

"Your Excellency..."

"Sir, there's a result"

The man suddenly felt energetic and quickly let Sangovic come in.

....

In the early morning, Sangovich brought ten Cossacks to the dock of the Ingur River, where the ships could lead to the Dnieper River. The biggest thing the Jews did after arriving here ten years ago was not business or assistance.

Sangovic gains a foothold here.

Instead, the Ingur River and other rivers were dredged and several short-distance canals were built so that the goods here could reach the Dnieper River as fast as possible.

When he arrived, Judd and others had not arrived yet, he walked around the dock and understood.

"The largest fleet that went far away was not as high as this time. It seems that what Narom said is true"

However, his excitement ended soon.

On the dock, he found a completely different ship!

Most Jewish merchant ships retain the Mediterranean style, with both ends raised high and sails hanging. In order to adapt to inland shipping, the ships will definitely be smaller, but there is a straight ship that is sandwiched in the middle, with only one sail.

Luqin Boat!

Although the Truchens had already shown their steam warships in the Black Sea Battle not long ago, they did not drive up the inland river, nor did they drive up tributaries like the Ingur River, but the sailing ships were not listed here.
p>

This is a ship similar to the sand ship running offshore in the Yangtze River in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Unlike the sand ship, its stern is equipped with a complex tail rudder system composed of pulleys, gears and riggings.

The system allows boats to easily drive away from the dock.

Since the tributaries flow towards the Dnieper River through a series of small canals, if they enter the Dnieper River, they will drive downstream all the way. When driving towards the Dnieper River, they can use the side wind of the west wind, and after entering the Dnieper River, they can continue to drive.

Capture the west wind and the north wind.

There are tin mines that are rare in Truchen and even in Europe in Kirov, so some ships arrive here to buy them.

As Sangovic stared at the ship, there was a man squatting on the deck with a cigarette pouch in his arms.

The man had a distinct Mongolian face. When he saw Sangovic, he grinned and smiled, revealing his teeth that were browned and yellowed by tobacco.

Sangovic immediately showed a disgusting expression.

Although he also knew that Truchen's ship came here to buy tin ingots, his mind was not on it, and he had been taking care of it all the time.

At this moment, a lot of people came from afar, obviously Judd and the others.
