Chapter 43 Turkestan (Part 2)

 He ​​invited everyone to discuss countermeasures.

At this point, he had to make all his plans public.

"Everyone, what is our country able to gain a foothold near the dangerous Caspian Sea?"

Chu Huer smiled and said, "Of course, the Khan is planning and invincible."

"Not right"

Qitade shook his head.

Yamankara said: "Is it the benefit of firearms?"

"Not right"

The momen said, "Of course it's me, Turgut... Cough cough cough, Truqin's man is brave and good at fighting, and he is moving forward. With the exquisite firearm of the Great Sweat, he will be invincible."

"Not right"

Chilibu is the younger brother of Zebakdoorzi. His residence is north of the Khanate, surrounded by Cossacks and Germans. He knows the most about the situation in Russia and even Europe.

He said: "According to the view of the Ministry of Justice, it should be elite cavalry plus firearms"

Bambar is a famous warrior of Turgut and has also participated in a foreign war in Russia. Seeing that everyone was wrong, he thought of the rise of Qitad and said, "Is it because of the strong military farming?"

Qitad still shook his head, he turned his head and said to Se Kesena, "Tell me"

As his personal guard and his own cousin, I have been exposed to him for a long time. Before discussing with everyone, I actually talked with him early in the morning.

Sekosena said: "It is said that the total number of Cossacks in Russia now exceeds one million. Although it is distributed in a vast area from Europe to Asia, most of them are still in Europe."

"There are at least 300,000 young and strong men among them. That is to say, if they need it, they can gather a team of Cossack cavalry with 100,000 people"

"Their riding skills are so superb and their cavalry are as fierce as us, and they also have the advantages of firearms. To be honest, if they ignore their strength other than ours and do their best to deal with us, they will not need to use regular troops at all.

, just form a Cossack army of 50,000 to 100,000 people”

"The reason they gave us a foothold near the Caspian Sea is not because of other things, but because we can use it. In their eyes, although we have a standing army of more than 30,000 people, we still don't see enough"

"In other words, the tolerance of the Russians is the fundamental reason why we have a foothold"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.

They naturally knew how powerful Russia was, but they did not expect it to be so powerful.

Qitad continued: "Also, the Russian tribes have wars with the Russian army from time to time, and there are many who have won the victory. For example, in the Battle of Tara many years ago, the Junggars defeated thousands of Cossack cavalry nearby, and

Besieged Tara City”

"There is also the former Kazakh Xiaoyuz. The battle between the two sides over Orenburg was also protracted, but when you look closely, the Russians dispatched local local troops every time, and they did not do their best."

"Their war against the Ottomans, Persians, and Swedes is the real power of the country"

"Why did they tolerate or suggest that I move the Junggars to the Caspians near the Caspian Sea, obviously I don't take us to heart"

"And we also need their psychology. The Junggars had a population of two million at their heyday. Now, due to plague and war, it has been reduced by half, but there are still 100,000 entries"

"One hundred thousand tents, close to at least half a million people, can almost create another Truqin!"

"So, my purpose of sending troops this time is not to annihilate them, but to take them near the Caspian Sea!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became excited.

However, it is not easy to bring a tribe of 100,000 yuan back thousands of miles away?

When I think of this, I feel solemn after being excited.

Qitad looked at them and smiled and said, "This is why Ben Khan accepted Abul Bangbit Khan intently, but the Kazakhs and the Junggars have a century-old feud, and I took down their little jade and Zhongyu.

This one, in his heart, has long regarded us as a great enemy..."

"Why..." Bamubal couldn't help but shout.

Qitade waved his hand, "This is the real and false. Although the enemy and us are obvious, the enemy is not a solid piece of iron."

"Abrbantit is a direct descendant of the Khan tribe of the Kazakh Khanate. Although he had to give up Zhongyuz Khan for the sake of the future of the Khanate, he barely gave up Zhongyuz Khan and faced the situation where the Junggar people were about to be destroyed..."

"Why do I say that, because they saw the Qing Dynasty defeated Dawazi Khan with only a few people, and Amursana, who followed up, began to rebel again. Anyone with discerning eyes would know that their demise was in the evening."

"When anyone sees a century-old feud that is about to be destroyed, he will tolerate another great enemy before it is completely overturned"

"There are one, the second, Su Wenying"

Su Wenying is Su Wenying's younger brother. He is currently staying in Qitade's personal guard as Sekesena's deputy, but he is good at medical science and has a family background in traditional Chinese medicine, and Qitade instilled in him.

After the real modern medical knowledge in later generations became the actual health minister of the Khanate.

After arriving in the army, he was the commander of all the medical soldiers.

She looks similar to Su Wenyu, gentle and elegant, only twenty-three years old. When she heard Qitade's words, she quickly stood up from Se Kese.

"My generals, after we received the dry food given by Abrem Bandit, we were not careless, but carefully checked it"

"You know, we have been lingering around Turkestan for nearly a month and a half, and the dry food they sent were divided into several batches. The first batches were obviously fine. Recently, what we ate was either given or purchased by them.

The beef and mutton I got”

"But the recent batch found problems"

"If I guessed correctly, this batch was made of cattle and sheep that died of the plague. As early as Truchen, Dahan asked me to study whether beef and mutton that had the plague could be eaten. I used it at that time

The shepherd dog test, and it was found that there was indeed a problem”

"Half of the shepherds died of illness"

"At that time, I carefully distinguished the difference between air-dried meat made of this meat and air-dried meat that is normally slaughtered, so I found it after careful inspection"

Momentu also stood up suddenly, "Shan, you are willing to surrender your nobles and become sworn brothers. That guy actually did this, and he would attack Turkestan City with all his might. After taking it, he can also be ours.

Rear base!"

Qitad sneered, "Sit down! Didn't I just say it, it's real and real! Standing in Abrembante's position and ideas, it's reasonable to me, but what he gave it to me

This batch of air-dried meat is obviously not used immediately, but will not be used until you leave here”

"Maybe you have to really go to the battlefield"

"When the war is tense, who can tell whether it is caused by eating meat, or is caused by infection with wind and cold, or is it caused by discomfort in the environment?"

"So, he can leave the relationship aside"

"And once our army is unwell, it will become an opportunity for the Kazakhs to take advantage of. On the other hand, isn't it an opportunity for us to take advantage of?"

"Also, at present, Amursana is betrayal of his relatives. Except for a few Taiji supporters, most of them have adopted a wait-and-see attitude. Why didn't Ablai Khan, who had heavy troops, take this opportunity to attack him with the Qing army?



Yamankara was born as a general after all, and his eyes lit up, "Da Khan, what do you mean is not because Sheling restrained Ablikhan, but because of us?"

Qitad looked at him with admiration, "Of course, according to Nolbu's intelligence, after Amursana rebelled, only the Huits troops supported him, up to 10,000, and the Turkuts here

At most, there are only 10,000 people”

"Tanuwulianghai's and Touhuit's troops arrived here with the Qing army, with only three thousand cavalry at most. The main force of the army on the Qingbei Road was the Khalkhas"

"And there were at least 30,000 Ablikhan's army stayed on the west bank of Lake Balkash!"

"Then we..."

"Not busy, the Junggar stayed south of Jinshan, and there were still many tribes north of Tianshan. Seeing the Junggar rebellion for a while, the Qing Dynasty must have lost patience this time. Moreover, the ministry severely crushed the Qing army many years ago, so it made it happen.

The loss of troops and generals is now the weakest time for the Junggars. How could they have the idea of ​​destroying them without a complete battle?"

"At present, they are cleaning up the Junggars in Urumqi. In fact, in addition to the Junggars, there are also the Hoshuots, the Turkuts, and the Dulberts, but for them, they don't care about this much, they will definitely be able to do it.

Extinguish”

"When Amursana rebelled, he also incited the remnants of the Yarkand Khanate in southern Xinjiang to rebel at the same time. Therefore, this will also involve part of the energy of the Qing army, so..."

He turned his head and signaled to Se Kese.

Se Kesena and Su Wenying quickly expanded a large map, and then stood with one person holding a corner of the map.

Qitad stood up and pointed at the bayonet.

"This is Talas, this is Bishkek, all of which are north of the Alata Mountains. At present, except for Talas, almost all are controlled by the Kyrgyzs. From here, it goes straight east, and is the closest road to Yili.



"Amursana is no longer in Yili, but goes to Bortala and is preparing to resist the Qing army's counterattack, because the last time the Qing army attacked Dawazikhan, the two north and south armies gathered here.

'

"The last time they sent troops in winter, they naturally couldn't walk the road from Yili to Yanqi. It's summer now. Although it's still a bit rugged and difficult to walk, it can be walked after all."

"Yanqi, next to Turpan, became one of their rear bases against the Junggar people after the Qing army defeated Dawazi Khan"

"If Urumqi is taken down, it will completely lock the passage to the east and south of the Junggar people"

"It is said that after learning of Amursana's rebellion, the Qing Dynasty transferred Zhao Hui, the grain transport minister at the Balikun Lake base, to guard it. He was not followed by Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, but a full Gansu governor.

The soldiers and horses”

Speaking of Zhaohui, Qitade's heart couldn't help but jump.
