River waters are highly mineralized and not suitable for land irrigation. Moreover, the banks of Yeya are very swampy, covered with reeds.

Shahin Giray, supported by Russia, rushed to the throne of the khanate. But his time will come later, but for now he is located on the shores of the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov. Later, this place will be called the Shagin-Gireysky town or the Yeysk fortress. In winter, it was used to place the Kuban redoubts, created by the great Russian commander Suvorov.
