95. Returning to the East Hero Wubasi
As the aggressive power of Tsarist Russia continued to expand and there were more and more wars, Catherine II's tentacles gradually extended to Western European countries. However, if they wanted to send Tsarist Russian troops to Western Europe, the biggest obstacle to them was the
The Turkish Empire, a long-established military power in Europe. At that time, Tsarist Russia’s military was unprecedentedly powerful, and it formed a confrontation with Turkey at the Caspian Sea port. Once either party could obtain the management rights of the Caspian Sea port, it would be equivalent to victory in this long war. For
For Tsarist Russia, the cavalry of the Torgut tribe was as brave and good at fighting as a charging blade, which could mercilessly tear apart the solid defense lines of the Turks. Therefore, the Queen continued to recruit troops and flatter the Torgut tribe for years.
Almost all the young and middle-aged men who came to Torgut never came back. In a normal war, it was not Tsarist Russia and Turkey that suffered the most casualties. Indeed, in the Torgut Khanate, the war lasted for 21 years, and Torgut suffered the most casualties every time.
It was necessary to support about 100,000 young adults to go to the front line, but less than 12,000 came back. At that time, the Turgut people said that if the war continued like this, it would not be Tsarist Russia and Turkey that would perish, but the Torgut Khanate.
.
It was not the years of war that made the Torhut people determined to return eastward. The whole trigger came from the mental control of Tsarist Russia on them. The Torhut tribe is a branch of the Mongolian tribe, and they believe in Tibetan Buddhism.
After spreading Buddhism, Tsarist Russia forced them to convert to Orthodox Christianity (one of the branches of Christianity). A nation can be trampled on and conquered, but their hearts still advocate freedom. No force can use force to change their beliefs and beliefs.
It is also the last bottom line of human psychology. If you try to break through this bottom line, you will inevitably be destroyed.
In 1770, under the leadership of Turgut Khan King Obasi, 33,000 herdsmen families in the upper reaches of the Volga River finally embarked on their way home. "Go to the east, return to the motherland that once nurtured us, and
Find our new life in that place where the sun rises." This was the daily prayer of every herdsman in the Turgut tribe.
The return of the Torgut Khanate to the east was undoubtedly a humiliation to Queen Catherine, who sent a large number of Kazakh cavalry to pursue her. In the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi, in May 1771 AD, the people of the Torgut Khanate gathered in Khan
Under the leadership of Wang Wobasi, they crossed the Caspian Sea, the Aral Sea, and crossed Kazakhstan. They walked through countless quagmires and swamps, broke through countless defense lines in Kazakhstan, and got rid of countless Tsarist Russian pursuers and reached the Ili border in Xinjiang, China. This time
The long tribal migration lasted for more than half a year and covered nearly 10,000 miles. The 170,000 herdsmen at the beginning were reduced to 80,000 at the end. Death was no longer enough to pose a threat to them. The strong desire to return without hesitation prompted them to migrate.
They finally accomplished this feat.
"There are rumors that the migration of Torgut to the Volga River was mainly caused by the growing threat from the Jungar tribe. Do you think it is also related to Nurhaci's curse?" I asked Lili.
"I'm not sure about this, but my family tree doesn't mention the intrusion of the Jungar tribe, but the skull-like pattern on people's chests began to appear before our tribe migrated to the northwest."
After the video call with Lili ended, my heart couldn't calm down for a long time. I think the things recorded in history books are the most unreliable. He can impose modifications according to the wishes of the ruler at that time and influence history. Calculated according to this time,
The year when the Torhut tribe began to migrate was also the time when Nurhaci’s Houjin Kingdom began to become powerful in the Northeast. Is there any connection between them? The two are nearly 10,000 kilometers apart, one is far away in the Changbai Mountains, and the other is far away
In Xinjiang, if the Turhut people were also poisoned by the voodoo cursed by Nurhachi, then what was the reason that made Nurhachi extend his tentacles to the distant Xinjiang across the Ming Dynasty?
