Chapter 49 Chu City (Part 2)

 I was still a little hesitant when I saw Sheling.

Qitade simply said directly: "What can you do if you stay here? Since our troops moved to the coast of the Caspian Sea and stayed here to serve as Huntaiji, the Khan's Khan either came from the Borjijin clan or the Choros clan"

"Although Amursana is just the posthumous son of Razang Khan, he is the Borjijin clan and the grandson of the Choros. Think about it, has a Taiji from the Borjijin clan not in the past hundred years, and the Choros clan become a great khan?"

"No, no one!"

"Even if I can defeat the Qing army, I will not be able to live here for a long time. In that case, my territory will be too large. Throughout history, how many people have destroyed their country because of their endless greed for the land?"

"What's more, there are Kazakhs in between us. They all speak Turkic and are not the same as us. Badu Khan and his descendants have also tried to assimilate them. As a result, you also saw that the original Mongols disappeared completely, and they all spoke Turkic words."

"I still believe in the Islamic Church"

"If you want to maintain a long-term stability in a tribe, you will have to be apart from bloodline, religion and habit. Now the Islamic religion has ruled the Kazakh prairie for hundreds of years, and it cannot change them in a short period of time. Of course, the land of Balah Sultan I took is an exception"

"Their nobles are white bones, from the Borjijin clan, but the black bones chief is a Naiman who believes in Nestorianism. I remember now, why can his tribe last until now?"

"There is only one reason. Hulagu, the Great Khan of the Il Khanate, supports Nestorianism. Il Khan is a great Khan advocated by the East and the West. Although it has been hundreds of years so far, the remaining power is still there."

"Also, since Galdan started and fought a century-old national war with the Qing Dynasty, it is now the time when the Junggar Khanate is weakest. The Qing Dynasty will obviously not give up when it comes to this time. How can you let you go easily for such a century-old feud?"

"Even if I help you to the position of Khan, it won't last long"

When he saw She Leng's eyes lit up first, and disappeared instantly.

"The Qing Dynasty had some differences with the Mongolian tribes. They were most intimate with the Korqin tribe, followed by the Chahar, Tumot, Ordos, Zhaowuda tribes, and Neikharkha again"

"However, these works are included in the Eight Banners, which are directly under the jurisdiction of the Qing government. Outer Khalkha is under the jurisdiction of the Lifan Yuan and are called "Under Vandals"

"After this troubles of Amursana, the outcry of Khalkha has led to a drastic change in Outer Khalkha. I believe that after this war they will also include the ministry under the jurisdiction of the Eight Banners. Obviously, the Khan will not last long."

"Amursana incited the rebellion of Outer Khalkha, which has touched the Qing emperor's rebellion, and this time it will never give up"

"Therefore, migration to the shore of the Caspian Sea is the most serious"

He looked at Sheling and continued, "You also know that the coast of the Caspian Sea is the sphere of influence of the Russian state. They, like the Qing Dynasty, also adopted strategies of direct jurisdiction or restraint over the surrounding tribes, but you naturally also know that the Turgut Khanate, maintained considerable independence after all."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have traveled all the way here"

Sheling's eyes lit up, "Khan, Russia allows you to come?"

Qitad did not comment, but continued: "It's not that simple. Sometimes it's done with the flow. It seems that the Russians allowed us to come here."

"Russia, which is said to have a population of 20 to 30 million, is naturally not as good as the Qing Dynasty, but its national strength is also very strong. They have a large number of Cossack cavalry, just like the Mongols who were in the Qing Dynasty, so they can easily deal with nomadic tribes like us."

"Their territory is too large. Two or three million people are spread on such a large land and need to be digested carefully. Naturally, it is not a day's effort. Therefore, after all the situations, we are not without opportunities."

"At present, our army has herdsmen, and there are more than 100,000 farmers in total. It is obviously not enough to see in front of the Russians. Even if there are still not enough people here, the population of our army is still so large. Why can it be bigger than what my Zu Ayuqi Khan did?"

"People, it's not expensive. If we wait for two parts to combine, we will benefit from each other, and if we divide, we will be weak. The pastures in Europe are much better than here. It seems that there is no place here or Mobei University, but on average, each acre of pasture can feed more herders than here, which is actually not much different."

"Since there are more herders available for the ranch, it is possible to settle down, so there is no need to switch places continuously. Without the hardship of transition, more standing troops can be formed than before."

"Also, it's not enough to have herdsmen alone. The past era of tribal cavalry swaying the world has passed. Only the combination of agriculture and animal husbandry, plus a large number of excellent craftsmen, is the way to win"

"I am very lucky that I, the current Khan Sarachitad, did all this. If I had the blessing of the Erats here, I believe I would have done it even bigger!"

"As for you, I believe you have also heard of our country's regulations. If you obey my arrangements and arrive at the coast of the Caspian Sea, I will include half of the herdsmen under the jurisdiction of the Khanate Zaisang Mansion"

"The remaining herders are under your control. There are still a lot of free pastures in the northern and western Aral Seas, and the lower reaches of the Sir River, where you can station your tribes"

"Of course, before this, I will help you as the Great Khan of the Junggar Khanate and serve as the deputy Khan of our country, otherwise you will not be able to take away the herdsmen here"

Shelen was ecstatic. He knew that without Qitade's support, he would not have a chance to become a great Khan of the Junggar Khanate. The Khanate now has at least 80,000 herdsmen, and half of them left for him, and there would be 40,000 households.

What a glory it is to be the deputy khan of the Truqin Khanate.

However, he quickly calmed down.

"Khan, thank you for your attention, but Amursana..."

There was an unpredictable smile on the corner of Qitad's mouth.

"You sit closer"

“……”

“……”

....

Sheling is back.

Although he came here secretly, he still did not hide it from Ablikhan's eyes and ears.

He did not hide when he returned because Qitad asked the Qilibu Brigade to follow him. When he arrived at Ayaguzi, he did not intend to deal with Ablikhan with the Qilibu Brigade, because the Qilibu Brigade did not stop in Ayaguzi, but went directly to Zhaisangbo!

At the same time, the Momen Tuyou also went to Yili.

Sheling only left his younger brother Laozhangzab in Ayaguzi with five thousand cavalry to continue confronting Ablikhan, and he took his army to Bortala!

Not only did Ablikhan get such news, but it may soon be spread to the Qing army.

Therefore, in order not to allow Qitad and Amursana to join forces, Yongchang, Salar could only speed up the attack on Amursana and Qinggonzabu!

Also, since three brigades were sent out at once, there were only three brigades left in Chucheng, with three brigades and tens of thousands of people, which would allow Ablah Khan and Ablah Bandit Khan to see the opportunity.

If only this opportunity was the case, Ablikhan would not move lightly, because he knew that Qitad was powerful.

But the next thing happened, Ablikhan finally made up his mind.

Not long after Sheling left, a plague broke out in Qitade Camp in Chucheng!

Balkhash, the headquarters of Ablikhan.

In a huge white tent, several people were discussing nervously.

The one who was in the center was naturally Ablai Khan. The nomadic tribe was respected by the right. On his right hand was an elder over 60 years old. The chief of the Wusun tribe, who had a good reputation for him, was the official of the great commander of the Wusun tribe.

The left hand seat was the Sultan of the Balah who was taken away by Qitad. He first defected to the Russians, and then returned to Ablikhan's command through the Russians' territory.

Ablikhan ignored his past grudges and asked him to command the Krei tribe of Zhongyuz.

The other one is naturally his eldest son, Vari.

Opposite Vari sat a young man of his age.

This person is Abilis, who is the eldest son of Abul Bangbit Khan. He is only sixteen or seventeen years old now.

There was one person kneeling in front of these people. It was Ablai Khan's adopted son, the commander of the army. He grew up with Warri since childhood. He was also a Muslim slave. Yanger, who was praised by Ablai Khan as the number one warrior in Zhongyuz.

Yanger does not have the brilliant life experience of Ablikhan. Although he has the same name as Jiangge, the famous Khan in the history of the Kazakh Khanate, he is a perfect black bone.

"King, all the nobles"

"My people can see clearly that the bodies of Truqin people are constantly being carried out from the ruins of the city and buried in the suburbs. At the beginning, there were only a dozen people every day, but in recent days it has grown to the point of hundreds of people every day"

"My people are very careful. When no one is in danger of getting infected with the plague, they dug out some of the bodies. Yes, they are all Truchen people, all wearing their strange clothes, and they are completely Mongolian."

Ablikhan nodded and looked at Abilis.

Abilis said: "At that time, my father Khan asked me to prepare 20,000 dry food for the Truchen people that could last for a month, including air-dried meat and ground flour."

"At that time, a tribe of cattle and sheep died in large numbers due to the infection. I asked the slaves to slaughter them, and then marinate them with salt, and hung them in the Trár vent and dried them quickly"

(Tral wind vent, a famous wind vent in Alata Mountain near Turkestan, with strong winds all year round)

"In order to verify the quality of this batch of dried meat, our people secretly observed the slaves responsible for slaughtering. Ten days later, some of the slaves died of illness."

"The Truqin people carried a lot of dry food. According to time, it was just the time when they wanted to use this batch of dry food"

"Didn't they get another batch of cattle and sheep after defeating the Kyrgyzs?"

"After the Khan, the Truqins set up camp in Chu City, they sent a scout cavalry in a nearby area of ​​100 miles. These people naturally could only carry dry food, and then returned to Chu City from time to time, which would naturally stain the people in the abandoned city."

Ablihan asked Yanger again, "Did you see that the other two brigades have arrived in Zhaisangbo and Yili?"

"It's true that my people not only observed along the way, but also met them in Zhaisangbo and Yili. Their outfits are very strange and they can't be wrong."

"Also", when talking about this, Younger's body seemed to be trembling slightly.

"What?"

"Shank you, the white wool flag hung in the camp in Chucheng!"
