Answer:
Hinterlands - a land adjacent to a city or port that supply it with goods and services is known as hinterland.
Garrison- a fortified settlement, with soldiers is known as a garrison town.
A garrison town is a fortified settlement with soldiers. The Sultans seldom controlled the hinterland of the cities and hence were dependent on trade, tribute and plunder for supplies. Rebellion, war and bad weather would snap the fragile communication routes.
