A week after returning from Kafa, all the mercenary regiments had packed up, set out from the krezv fortress to the wharf of Kafa, boarded the ship and returned to Poland. Although some of them have doubts about why Chechen doesn''t start from the pier of the nearest begzisalai, no one takes out this small problem that is nothing more than taking a few more steps to question Chechen face to face.


    At the wharf of Kafa, Kemal waited there early. As soon as Che Chen saw Kemal''s figure, he met him.


    "It''s bothering you, chef Kemal. Are you well?" Chechen thanked and asked about Kemal''s injury as soon as he met.


    In the face of Cherchen''s thanks, Kemal waved his hand and said he didn''t dare.


    "Cherchen bey, these are trivial things. It''s not worth mentioning. The ship is right ahead and your people can board at any time. As for my injury, it''s beginning to scab now. Thank you, Dr. salben of your mercenary regiment."


    Kemal said, pointing to the right front behind him.


    There, there are five tall Galen ships and a dozen medium-sized paddle sailboats.


    Galen ship was invented in Spain, Chechen''s motherland. After Spain established colonies in the Americas in the 16th century, it often needed to carry a large number of goods and soldiers across the Atlantic from the mainland. At that time, the main sea ships Nawu ship and caravel ship were no longer competent for such heavy tasks. Therefore, a new ship called Galen ship was born. Galen ship combines the advantages of these two types of ships. It generally has four masts. The front two masts are hung with fence sails, and the rear two masts are hung with triangular sails. The standard length is between 46m and 55m, with a displacement of 300-1000 tons. There are several layers of long decks, and the poop is very high. The stern deck of large Galen ship has seven layers, with a displacement of 2000 tons and a draft of 8 meters, so it has good endurance. Such excellent performance makes Galen the largest seagoing ship in the world for a long time


    However, these three Galen ships are not from Spain, but from Genoa, Italy.


    Although the countries on the Italian peninsula such as the Ottoman Turkish Empire and Venice have been at war for centuries for the hegemony of the Mediterranean, war is war, and the businessmen on both sides are not ambiguous in doing business. Especially for the slaves exported by the Crimean khanate, Italians are flocking to them. Because of the black death, Italy suffered a serious population crisis from the second half of the 14th century. At that time, at least half of the population of Italy was killed by the black death. In rural areas, there is a lack of labor force in the fields; In towns, there was a shortage of craftsmen in each guild; In a big city like Venice, even big businessmen and nobles can hardly find enough servants. The shortage of labor caused the rise of wages. These two factors forced the Italians at that time to find a solution. Their solution was to import slaves. With the help of the developed trade network of Italians in the Black Sea area, a large number of Slavic and Tatar slaves were imported into Italy. With the economic recovery, the demand for slaves is increasing. In the ten years from 1414 to 1423, at least 10000 slaves were exported to Venice from Kafa alone. These slaves from the East spread all over Italy, from big cities such as Florence and Venice to remote villages. These foreigners can be found almost everywhere. Moreover, these slaves even affected all aspects of Italian society at that time - there were slaves in the bride''s dowry, doctors were willing to accept slaves instead of medical fees, priests bought slaves to serve themselves, and even an ordinary shopkeeper or a weaver bought slaves to use as their own servants. By the late 16th century, with the increase of the national strength of the Republic of Poland and czar Russia, slaves from Slav became a tool for dignitaries to show off their wealth.


    Therefore, every year, countless Italian ships call at the wharf of CAFA. With the bumper harvest of this year''s "grassland national harvest", countless Italian businessmen rushed to Crimea like brown dogs smelling rotten meat. Chechen''s team has thousands of people, and only in Kafa or begzisalai can we find a large ship that can transport so many people. This is also one of the reasons why Chechen came to Kafa to take a boat.


    Looking at the five tall Galen ships, Chechen felt a sense of intimacy in his heart - he and his uncle arrived in Riga in such a big ship, and began their legendary journey from then on.


    At this time, Kemal kept saying, "the owners of these ships are old customers who come to Kafa to do business. At first, I let them ship people, and they didn''t want to kill them one by one, but when I put a knife on their neck, no one dared to say no."


    "Chef Kemal, I''ll give them a lot of money for the boat fare and losses. This is a little token I gave you. You must take it." Chechen said and threw a bag of gold coins to Kemal. Then he waved his hand and said, "get on the boat and let''s go home."


    With a cheer, the soldiers of the mercenary regiment and the civilians of Czar Russia rescued by Cherchen began to board the ship. In a corner of the wharf, a pair of ulterior eyes stared at the scene.


    The owner of these eyes is Alan, Muhammad gley''s loyal dog.


    Although Muhammad gley left without saying a word that day, Alan, who was good at negotiating, felt that his master Muhammad gley agreed with his poison plan, and his silence was a kind of acquiescence. So Alan began to make active preparations. He had thought that Chechen and his party would return to Poland by boat in bagzisarai. Unexpectedly, Chechen and his party ran to Kafa and turned to Mehmed Pasha for help. Although Kafa is not his own territory, in order to "complete the mission entrusted by the master", Alan disguised himself to Kafa and hired a group of scoundrels among the gangs in Kafa''s slum to carry out the sabotage.


    According to Alan''s plan, they would secretly bring gunpowder onto the ship, then bury it under the cabin, and control the initiation time through special devices. When the ship went out of the sea, the gunpowder exploded and blew the bottom of the ship, causing the ship to sink into the water.


    At this time, Alan, hiding in the corner, saw that the porter disguised as a scoundrel he hired was carrying the goods of the mercenary regiment and boarded the ship. The plan went well.


    Alan could hardly help laughing at the thought of how happy his master would be when he heard the news of Chechen''s death.


    While laughing, Alan still said in his mouth, "Cherchen bey, don''t blame me. Who told you to disobey my master repeatedly? The will of Crimean Khan can''t be violated, so you have to die. But for you to make me rich and prosperous in the future, every year today, I will sprinkle some salt and bread into the sea to sacrifice you."
