He ​​said to Cedandorji, Cebekdorji, and Zhamuyang: "May I ask if the Durbot tribe, the Heshuote tribe, and the Torhut tribe that left this department still belong to the Turhut tribe?"

A tribe from the Khanate?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little surprised, thinking: "What are these words? Nonsense!"

I saw Zhamu Yang saying: "No need to ask, of course yes"

Cebokdorji hesitated for a moment and then said: "Yes"

But Natsetan Dorzi looked at Kishenskov. At this time, Kishenskov was lowering his head to calculate how many benefits he could get before he left office (five years). He did not raise his head and had to cough.

Kishenskov then raised his head and asked, "What topic?"

After Kitard repeated it, he said calmly: "This is your internal matter, I have no control over it. If Dulbert's Ministry is willing to move to the west bank of the Don River, the great and benevolent Russian Empire will very much welcome it.

But it was rejected just now"

After saying that, he lowered his head and crossed his fingers.

Cedandorji hesitated for a long time, and then said: "But now it is the Truchen Khanate, not the Turgut Khanate!"

Kitard sneered and said: "This is what outsiders say. I have never said that. Moreover, His Majesty the Tsar's edict of canonizing me clearly says 'Torgut Khanate'!"

Cedandorji quickly said: "Yes"

"Well, since they all belong to the tribes of the Torgut Khanate, then I will act in accordance with the Oirat Code. According to the provisions of the Oirat Code, every time a new Khan succeeds to the throne, each tribe needs to give up a part of the herdsmen.

To express my congratulations"

"However, the three of them didn't seem to do this"

There is a reason why the code stipulates this way.

Because once the Great Khan of Turgut wanted to marry a girl, he would definitely give a generous dowry. Most of the dowry would be pastures, herdsmen, cattle and sheep. In fact, neither party would lose or gain.

Of course, recently, Kitard married off the unmarried granddaughters and great-granddaughters of Ayuchi Khan near Vitlyanka to his own men without giving them a dowry. These people did not know this, but they did not marry

The noble sons and daughters of other tribes also know this.

Thinking of this, Cedandorji shouted: "Where's Dulan? Why didn't you marry into our tribe?"

Kitard ignored him and said, "What do you two say?"

This is why he wants to cut their flesh. It concerns himself. Even if they recognize that they are the Turghut tribe, they will not give away the herdsmen easily.

After a long while, Zhamu Yang said: "Great Khan, before I married Abahai, I had given it away to five hundred households, and it was so beautiful..."

As he spoke, he glanced at his son who was writing furiously.

"Sekosena took away another five hundred households. Our total number was only eight thousand households. Two thousand households were moved to the west bank of the Don River. They all accepted the jurisdiction of me and the Russians at the same time, so there were only five thousand households left.

household"

"Forget it, according to the past rules, 10% of the herdsmen need to be sent as a gift, so I will make up for 500 households."

Kitard did not comment, but looked at Zebokdorzi.

At this time, Congcebo Doerji felt as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, which was so complicated and inexplicable.

I don’t know how long it took before he said: "Our army only has 4,000 households in total, and once it reaches 400 households, the Great Khan will have nearly 100,000 more households after taking over the Xiaoyuzizhedur Alliance and the Zhongyuzbala Sultan."

, will you still like this about me?"

Kitard said calmly: "I earned it myself. Don't worry about it. I know that after you accepted the original 3,000 households in the Jain tribe, the number of households has expanded to 7,000."

Cebokdorji argued: "All I caught were women and children, and they were all distributed to herdsmen. The number was still four thousand."

"Don't you have a separate household?"

"...no"

"Okay, just four hundred households"

Then he continued: "My proposal is that since I am the Great Khan of all the tribes of the Turgut people, I have the right to build lamaseries and castles in each tribe."

"I propose to build castles and set up lamaseries and schools in Bateisk in the Kushote tribe, Aksay in the Dulbert tribe, and Malaya where King Tsebokdorzi's tent is located."

(Batysk, near the Azov Fortress, Aksay, Tsaritsyn/south of Volgograd, north bank of the Aksay River, a tributary on the east bank of the Don River, Malaya, north of Tsaritsyn, located between the Don and Volga rivers

between)

At this time, Cedandorji woke up and immediately objected: "No, the previous Khans have never done this!"

Kitard looked at Zhamu Yang, and he thought for a while before saying: "Whose built castle belongs to it?"

"Of course it belongs to the Zaisang Mansion of the Khanate, but the large garrisons of the various ministries can also live there. I believe you have heard about the conditions of the several castles below Truqin. The comfort level is no less than that of the Russians. When the castle is completed, I

You are very welcome to live here”

Then he said to Zhamu Yang: "With his own castle, Abahai can also take his children to visit Dadai Ji."

He used the word "own" very strongly, which obviously meant something.

At this time, the Russians began to accelerate their pace on the east bank of the Don River, building a series of castles, and Bateysk, located near the Azov Fortress, was almost surrounded.

Since Tsebekdorzi, north of Tsaritsyn, attacked the Jain tribe, its territory has been facing the Russians. However, once a castle is built on its territory, it means that Kitard can send people

Monitor yourself nearby.

Cebokdorji asked: "I wonder where the labor, bricks, and stones for building the castle came from?"

"According to the Oirat Code, each ministry has to contribute manpower, material and financial resources to assist the Khan in building the castle. The so-called corvee refers to this. Considering the current situation of each ministry, I can send many master craftsmen and outstanding craftsmen responsible for the construction to assist you.

"Build"

"No", this time Cebokdorji seemed to be determined not to let Kitard contaminate him, "unless all the manpower, material resources, and financial resources are borne by the Khanate Zaisang Mansion"

"Really?", Kitard looked at Tsetan Dorji.

Cedandorji also made up his mind at this time, "Before Kitard reaches out his hand, when winter comes, move to the west of Hexi as soon as possible to avoid being annexed by him in the end."

He said: "That's what I mean too. It's okay if you need space, but if you need manpower and money, you can't even kill me."

"Then let's vote and decide on this matter first. As for when to build it and how to use manpower, material and financial resources, I will discuss it privately with you."

This time, thanks to Zhamu Yang’s consent, it passed smoothly.

As for when to discuss specific construction matters, these people will obviously show their "procrastination tactics". After the meeting is over and the signatures are signed, everyone hurriedly left.

But Kishenskov stayed, and now only Kitard was left in the big tent.

He looked around and said: "Khan, I'm very tight recently. I have five younger brothers and sisters. They all need to get married. They all need a lot of money. Look at the thousand shi of food you gave me."

Can you convert it into silver coins and advance it to me in advance?"

Kitard was amused in his heart, but he was also happy. He searched for it for a while and took out a gold ingot.

"Ambassador, this gold ingot weighs about fifty taels, which is exactly equivalent to a thousand silver coins. A thousand silver coins, that's at least dozens of kilograms. It's a big package. It's unsightly to carry it out. It's only five kilograms.

Just be careful and tie it around your waist and no one will see it”

Kishenskov took the gold ingot with a smile on his face, then took off his woolen coat to wrap it up, then held it on his left arm and said with a smile: "Although it is still autumn, the weather is like seeing a ghost, how can it still be there?"

Isn’t it cool?”

With that said, he carried his coat and went out.

Looking at his back, Kitard thought coldly: "Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem. At present, the Cossacks have begun to immigrate to the Don River below Tsaritsyn and both sides of the Volga River.

The land on the shore is still nominally owned by the Turghut people."

"I have to race with them, but our department will definitely not be able to relocate dozens of households from one small village to another like theirs. We must speed up the process in the form of military settlements."

"This Kishenskov is much easier to deal with than his predecessor Bekotov. Bekotov is not greedy for money and will not take advantage of you."

After Sekesena, Hamuyang, Baodunge, and Norbu Zang Tenzin returned, they all asked almost in unison: "Great Khan, we all understand that you want to build a city in their tribe, but I think that except your father-in-law Zhamuyang will immediately

Agreed, there is no need to think about Cedandorji and Cebekdorji”

"They will all use various reasons to avoid discussing with us in detail. Maybe they will move to a Russian West Bank city as soon as they return to their base."

Kitard nodded, "Ben Khan also knows what you said, but I made this proposal just to test their reaction."

"This way, Bao Dunge"

"The staff is here"

"Tomorrow you go to Batesk, and Sekesena will accompany you to discuss the matter with Zhamuyang in detail. Tell him that he only needs to mobilize manpower. Well, let's take the three thousand herders near Batesk.

Personnel limit, two meals a day”

"Start laying the foundation now, and start building the city during the winter break. It will not affect them. When the city is completed, each person will be given a piece of cloth and a set of iron tools, including two fine iron pots, five copper bowls, and a set of knives.

A good saber, good performance, and a flintlock gun will be given to you with all your heart.”

Except for the precious flintlocks, other items were really not worth much in the Truqin Khanate at this time.

At this time, Bateysk was close to the Don River, rather than far away from the river bank (because of the siltation of the Don River), across the river from the famous city of Rostov-on-Don. If you control this place, you will have the port of the Don River.

.

As for food, just use the rye produced in Vitlyanka. The herdsmen all have their own dried meat, but they are short of food. If you have rye and cook it together, it is much better than simple dried meat.<

/p>

Influenced by the Cossacks, the Torgut herders on the Don River gradually became settled herders, because the pastures there were lush and a large amount of forage could be harvested in autumn to prepare for the winter and feed the livestock. Only the women and the elderly of the family were needed.

Just with children.

With the above temptations, young herders will definitely rush to sign up to participate.

"As for the other two, Master..."

The Great Lama seems a little intolerant, but for him, first of all, he is also a disciple of his own clan. Now, with the help of the Russians, Cedan Dorji and Tsebek Dorji have not only converted a large number of herdsmen from Lamaism to Orthodox Christianity,

The number of lamasery temples is also gradually decreasing.

In this situation, as the great lama, he was unwilling to do so.
