With the destruction of Curtis' main force, it was only a matter of time before the Taurus Peninsula fell into the hands of Qin.

However, the situation is still not optimistic.

"King"

The person who is reporting to him is Su Xijie.

"Since most of the land is in the hands of the nobles, if we put all the prisoners back, the situation on this peninsula will not be much different from before."

"They mean to surrender to our country and then pay a certain amount of taxes to our country every year. According to their previous practice with the Khanate of Xhosa, self-cultivated farmers needed to pay 40% of their food to the government, and 60% of their slaves. Then the Khanate of Xhosa took 10% of the taxes collected from the Goths..."

"10%? So little, so what about the food in the nobles on the peninsula?"

"It can't be said completely that there are no mercenaries on the peninsula. Almost all professional soldiers are specialized in noble families. Curtis verified the number of people who need to be in regular soldiers according to the size of their manor. Each family can range from one to three people. The equipment, horses, and food of professional soldiers need to be brought by themselves."

"However, most of the people who own the manor have slaves, and Curtis also implemented a tax-packing system similar to the Khanate of the Xhosa, and included the taxes of the self-cultivated farmers to the owners he liked. Therefore, the professional soldiers sent by each manor actually had at least ten entourages."

"The big one has a hundred people, so he is naturally the centurion, and the other centurions need to be designated by the Curtis family. As for the thousand-time captains, they are all from the Curtis family or relatives of the family."

"The other tribes are similar. Unlike the Goths, Curtis only needs to ask the chiefs of each tribe to pay taxes. These chiefs are not always held by a certain family, but are replaced every five years. Although some families cannot be replaced after long-term management, at least one person must be replaced within the family, such as the Alan."

Sun Xiurong thought for a while and said, "This is definitely not possible. The Khanate of the Khanate has not yet conquered it. If it is now a massacre on the Taurus Peninsula, it will definitely not work. In this way, immediately recruit prisoners who are not more than twenty years old from slaves and self-cultivated farmers."

"Let them join our army and then distribute all the captured weapons to them. Have you investigated? How many such people are there?"

Su Xijie thought for a while, "The people here are adults at the age of fifteen. Those over twenty have basically started a family and started a business. They are all pillars of the family and are reluctant to let them come out to join the army. Except for the Gothic heavy cavalry and infantry, there are many such people in the rest of the troops. I estimate that at least 30% of them are."

"Okay, all of them will be drawn out and formed three regular battalions. The Aslan battalion in Suha is here to train and guard it, so that its nobles can hand over 10% of the food and grass to Taurus. By the way, all weapons, armor, and horses cannot be taken away, and they must be left to the young soldiers here."

"That rest..."

"Let them all be put back, but they are detained in Taurus first, and wait until the three regular camps in Suha are completed before they are put back..."

"Put it all back?"

"Yes, including Curtis, not only will they be put back, but they will not cancel the slaves' slavery for the time being. Let's talk about it after the complete resolution of the Khonsa Khanate."

"Subordinates understand"

......

Things about Solomon and Taurus Peninsula soon spread to the North Caucasus.

On the west coast of the Caspian Sea, the capital of the Khanate of the Khanate, White City (Makhachkara), the largest stone castle near the Caspian Sea at this time suddenly fell into a dead silence.

Before this, the guard of the city of Kosa (Stavropol), Brans' nephew Suwut, went out of the city again to fight Bai Xiaode. This time Bai Xiaode did not give him another chance, and concentrated the cavalry of seven regular battalions to fight him, and finally wiped out Suwut's cavalry and killed Suwut.

The fall of the city of Josa!

The so-called Xhosa Khanate is actually a loose alliance with 200,000 square kilometers of territory in the north of the Caucasus (north of the Caucasus Mountains and south of the Manech Lowlands), with the northern foot of the Caucasus Mountains and the lower reaches of the Attila River as the main pastures, with the Goths, Pechenegs, Mazars, and Bulgars as vassals.

After the Jews entered the country in a large scale, they did not bring major changes in their political system. They simply further strengthened the status of business in the Khanate, further clarified the practice of tax-inclusive system in the Khanate, and used sufficient finance to build more castles.

If they had not met an opponent like the Great Qin Kingdom, even if they faced the Romans at the same time, a strong opponent like the Great Cannibal could still last for hundreds of years, but now they have to withdraw from the stage of history early.

White City is their last castle in the North Caucasus.

Speaking of which, Curtis’s Taurus Peninsula should be Brans’ last hope. After Taurus, Brans, who was fifty, knew that the situation was hopeless.

However, he was not willing to accept it.

He still has 20,000 infantry and cavalry, and the food and grass in the city can still last for another year.

Moreover, compared with Derbint, Baicheng is taller and thicker, and there are still tens of thousands of young and strong people in the city who can participate in the battle to defend the city at any time.

However, the key to his attempt to reverse the fighter was not whether Baicheng could be defended, but whether there would be any changes in the Qin Dynasty. But what he could think of was obviously Sun Xiurong, whom he cared about the most, completely withdrew from Persia, and the Romans did not seem to want to interfere in the affairs of the Khanate.

As for the tribes around him who had high hopes, after Curtis surrendered, they would probably not be in the same relationship with him anymore.

"Oh my God, I, the most outstanding figure in the Ghaza tribe, God's choice, finally ended the rule of the Ashina clan, and it was about to end in less than twenty years? Shouldn't the fate of the Ashina clan end in his own hands?"

As the person who finally ended the nominal dominance of the Ashina clan, Brans was obviously not simple when he was still under the Xianbei Tengis twenty years ago.

Like any nomadic tribe in the Eurasian prairie in history, the nomadic tribe of the Xianbei (Huns, Xianbei, Khitans, Mongols) is more powerful than the Turkic (Turks, Tatars, Ugus). I won’t mention the famous Xiongs, Mongolia, but I will just say that Rouran, who is also part of the Xianbei system.

The Rouran nobles were separated from the Tuoba Xianbei. They were not as famous as the above tribes among the Xianbei nomadic tribes, and were not as famous as them. However, after they were defeated by the Turks and came to Europe, they once occupied the Pannonian province of the Roman Empire (Hungary, Romania, Ukraine, Slovakia) and established the Aval Khanate.

Although the Khanate did not support it for too long, it still had a dazzling existence in the nomadic tribes that he had been in Pannonia.

As one of the nine Uighur surnames attached to the Blue Turks, Brans's Ghasa tribe was actually a Black Turk. He was able to gradually gain the upper hand in the battle with the Xianbei clan's great chief Tengjis and expel him, and completely overturned the rule of the Ashin clan, which was not by force, but by means.

The Turkic tribe was inherently sensitive to religion. Brans chose to convert to Judaism after careful consideration. In addition to trying to win over the Curtis family entrenched in the Crimean Peninsula, he also wanted to get along with the Romans and cannibals.

If he had not chosen Judaism, he would not have been able to gain support from representatives of the Jewish tyrants like Adam who actually controlled Carthage (Tunisia) in the Roman province of the Empire, and then gained the upper hand in the battle with Tengis through armed forces.

However, it was also because of his flexible means that the army he controlled was not as resistant to warfare as pure Xianbei.

If Tenghis, who was still from the Dubo tribe, was in power, the financial situation of the Khanate of the Khanate would obviously not be compared with the present, but it would definitely be a Khanate full of military power.

Everything has two sides, and it is no exception to this time.

Sun Xiurong thought that Solomon's surrender did not put Adam who stayed in White City in danger, because at this time Adam was deeply tied to Brans. Adam was an extremely devout Jewish and a great rabbi of the Khanate. It was impossible for him to survive by betraying the Khanate.

However, Adam's failure to betray Brans does not mean that he cannot consult Brans for a way out. It is obviously not the Jewish creed.

Adam, who was eighty, walked to the gate of the inner city with a white linen robe and a rabbis hat.

Brans let him in.

Not only did Brans let him in, he also went to the inner city gate to greet him in person.

Brans is still grateful to Adam.

"In the Roman Empire, the Jews were also depressed and oppressed, but Adam not only gained a firm foothold there, but also became the main assistant of the governor in his Thracian Military Region and the Carthage Military Region, and also became the assistant of the Jews. This is impressive."

Of course, Brans, who was flexible and soft, also knew that Adam was also "soft".

Today, Brans was also wearing the Jewish kingly costume designed by Adam himself for him. He helped Adam walk towards the palace.

Although it was just a Khanate, under the leadership of Adam, Brans's Khan Palace was still very spectacular. The main hall where he hosted guests was about half an acre, about three meters high. The dome-style building was carved with portraits of Judaism and holy traces.

After Adam sat down, he saw the first image of Moses' Exodus painted on the opposite wall, which further strengthened his idea that "this is God the Lord is testing the Jews."

"My respectful king"

Adam spoke first.

"Dear rabbi, please speak"

"Our enemy is so terrible. They were able to fight against the great cannibals and the Taurus while attacking our country. Obviously, they had thought of all countermeasures before. At present, there was only one castle left in the Khanate. The last Xhosa cavalry loyal to the king was also defeated by the enemy. Although they were old, they still wanted to know the king's true thoughts."

"So what if you know? For someone like me, the enemy will not let go. What is the way out except relying on the city to fight against the enemy?"

"Otherwise," Adam shook his head gently.

"Oh?" Although Brans's methods are soft, it does not mean that he is extremely intelligent. He really can't think of any way out in this situation except fighting to the death or surrender. If Adam wants to persuade him to surrender next, he will draw out his special Turkic sword and chop off his hair-bearded head without hesitation.

"I have a way to protect the Wang family in the country, but I'm afraid the king will not agree."
