Chapter 16: Magalce Confrontation (Part 1)

 A few days later, the conference was reconvened.

Today Nolbu is the protagonist.

"Khan, all ministers, let's talk about the east first"

"After our troops left Junggar, the Qing Dynasty successively accepted the surrender of Shakduermanji, Qinggonzabu and Adikyi"

"The Great Records of the Book of Changes has conferred Shakdurmanji as Junggar Khan, Qinggonzabu as Huit Khan, and Adikyi as Kyrgyz Khan"

"But the Qing emperor did not punish Zhao Hui and others who were released by our army. Instead, he continued to use Fu Heng as the head coach and Zhao Hui as the deputy commander. After hiding for two years, he launched a large-scale attack on the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. With the assistance of the Junggars and Kyrgyzs, he defeated the Heishan Hezhuo brothers"

"Finally, the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains were brought to the Qing court"

"The Hezhuo brothers fled into the Fergana Basin and gathered a group of people to continue to cause trouble. The Qing army is now clearing out there."

"Kazakh Khan Abul Bandit personally went to Chengde to request his support, and the emperor agreed and formally appointed him as the entire Kazakh Khan"

"Although Shakduermanji and Qinggunzabu were enthroned, the Qing court obviously would not rule over the territory of Junggar as before"

"They set up generals of Ili and Kashgar in Yili and Kashgar respectively, and set up ministers in Xinjiang in Turpan. Their jurisdiction also includes the Fergana Basin and all the Kyrgyzstan territories"

"It seems that I am planning to completely incorporate these places under my jurisdiction"

"They also migrated a large number of farmers from the large-capital Jiangnan, and settled in Urumqi, Yili, Turpan, Kashgar, Aksu, Hotan, Talas and other places, and the scene of restoring the prosperous Tang Dynasty"

Yan Xiangshi, Zhuang Zhihe, Fang Xiaode and others looked complicated, while Su Wenyu and others were worried, but Qitade was very comforted.

"Let's talk about the south, the Persian Kingdom is in chaos at present. Karim, the general of the former emperor Nadirsha, now controls all enemies except the Dowathan area, the Ashgabad area and Khorasan, while Nadirsha's grandson Sharuk controls Khorasan"

"But Shah Rukh was blinded by the tribe chief and became a puppet who nominally controlled Khorasan"

"The Persian chaos was in chaos, and the military and civilians suffered heavy casualties. Although Karim nominally controlled the most territory, it is said that he stole a large amount of treasures Nadirsha got from India, which also attracted the covetousness of his subordinates"

"Therefore, his position is not stable, and he can only barely maintain internal stability through cruel battles"

"At this time, there were still many Zoroastrians in Persia, especially in the Tehran region in the north and south of Mount Elbolls, as well as the Dorbastan and Ashgabad areas."

"In order to avoid the war, they fled to Hualazimo and surrendered to Rasim"

"In the recent meeting of the Khanate of Shiva, Rasim did not receive any notice from the meeting, so he asked Arslan to attack the Hongjila leader who had already gone south to Kungla city in Shiva, and successfully took the city before the leader returned"

"Then all the Uzbek and Turkmenistans were concentrated in the oasis south of the Aral Sea. Yilak Altuk of the Khanate naturally would not sit idly by and immediately gather the other three main forces to go north"

"Before this, Rasim had sent people to our country and signed a covenant with our country. The Khan also asked Sheling to lead two brigades south to echo Rasim. In the end, Altuk had to give in, admit that the Turkmen occupied Kungler and also allowed him to enter the Supreme Noble Conference"

"The Hongjila people's base camp moved to the central area of ​​the oasis, opposite Nukus, Altuk's old nest, and a castle was built there"

"Wait," Qitad suddenly interrupted him, "It is obvious that Altuk does this with conditions, right?"

"Yes, he has two conditions. One is to let Rasim give up his covenant with our country, and the other is to pay taxes to the Khanate government. Rasim only agreed to the second one, claiming that the covenant was between the Zoroastrians and the Changchun Church."

"Not involved with the Turkmen, Altuk had no choice but to stabilize the situation, he had to temporarily agree. He also knew that Rasim was the supreme spiritual leader of the Turkmen, and Arslan was just the nominal leader"

"There are tens of thousands of Zoroastrians moved from Persia, Ashgabat, and Bukhara. The power of Lasim has increased greatly. With the firearm support provided by our country, they can fully persist until the arrival of our army."

"In addition, religious leaders from the Tubasishan area of ​​the southern bank of the Caspian Sea also sent people to make an alliance with our country to avoid being affected by the war in Karim"

Qitad nodded, "Next, I'll discuss this matter next. Bayar, you are the Minister of Foreign Affairs, you can talk about it first"

Bayar said: "Although the area of ​​Dowathan is not large, it is one of the few warm and humid places in Persia. It can even grow rice there. There is a population of millions. If Karim obtains this land, it will only be a matter of time before it unifies the entire Persia."

"The Khan has always been obsessed with the population. The population here is all farmers, and the total population is almost the same as the total population of our country, so it is naturally the best to get it."

"But if this happens, we will completely fall out with Karim. At present, he is instable internally and urgently needs to quell the internal affairs through foreign wars. Although Persia is in chaos, Karim still has a powerful army under him. The background of the army is Nadirsha. It has not only a large number of cavalry and many firearms."

"It can be said that Karim is the largest successor of Nadirsha, and there is no problem in dispatching a hundred thousand troops at any time"

"But what is beneficial to us is that most parts of Persia believe in Shiites. As long as Sunnis are mainly in a few areas such as Dorbastan, although it was dominated by religious leaders who believed in Shiites during the Nadirsha era, after Nadirsha's death, the Sunni leaders overthrew the Shiites and then came to power themselves"

Qitad asked, "Since they believe in Sunnis, they must have contacted the Ottomans?"

Yesmu was also present, and he quickly replied: "Yes, I saw the messenger of Dobastan entering the Sultan's palace with his own eyes"

Qitade couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In the end, he said: "Bayal, you continue to talk"

"Okay, Khan. The Ministry of Service is to accept its suggestions and contact the Ottomans at the same time. If the troops of both sides enter the area together, we can enter the Surrey area, and the Ottomans can enter the Rasht area"

"The Persian Kingdom is unstable and obviously will not provoke the two major powers at the same time. We took the opportunity to discuss with Dobasi alone to open the port and the terms of small-scale garrisons. It would be best if we could rent a port"

"If the Ottomans want to enter the region, they can only pass through Azerbaijan. At present, Azerbaijan is in chaos. The place near Georgia is occupied by the Kingdom of East Georgia, and Armenia they control is separated from Azerbaijan by the Little Caucasus Mountains"

"So, he could only send small-scale troops eastward through West Georgia under his jurisdiction, because he had to go through East Georgia under the Persians, and the troops were definitely not large in size"

"Then secretly support the Shiites, and when the time comes, defeat the Ottoman troops and completely take down Dobastan"

"Haha"

Qitad smiled, "But you have not solved the problem of the Persian counterattack. I know the timing you mentioned, that is, when our country has enough strength to withstand the Russians, you don't think about it. Even if you have this opportunity, you must do your best to deal with the Russians, and it is impossible to make the rear unstable."

"That..."

"There is only one way to get rid of Karim and then support Sharim. Karim is the most prestigious force in Persia, and Sharim is just a puppet in Khorasan. After helping him to the throne, there will definitely be another internal struggle in the country"

"During this period, we secretly support a slightly stronger tribal leader to come to power and sign a clause to completely cede Dobassan"

"In addition, behind Karim are the Kurds, behind Sharuk are the Turks. There are also many Kurds in Azerbaijan. At present, Azerbaijan is divided into two, and the west belongs to Georgia"

"There are still several small countries in the east, and now the Kurds occupy Baku..."

Bayar's eyes lit up, "What Khan means to subdue the Kurds, and then let them enter Karim's team, and finally take the opportunity to take power?"

Qitad nodded, "We can provide them with armed forces, but the Baku Port will be ceded to us on the premise. They are nomadic tribes and do not care about farming. The port does not matter to them, and it should not be a big problem."

"For them, is it better to take charge of a small Baku or to take charge of the power of the entire Persia? I will see that it is better for fools"

"If it is really successful, he will not be able to hold on for a few years. It would be great to be able to accept part of Karim's legacy. In ten years, just ten years, I can stabilize Dobasidan"

"As for Ashgabat, the Turks are mainly dominated by the Turks, but the biggest force is the Turkmen who believe in the Islamic religion. Now he is temporarily in charge of Sharukh, who is actually the tribe chiefs who are in charge of Sharukh, and it is the Turkmen in the place who are controlling Sharukh"

"After Shah Ruk came to power, we would discuss with him the matter of ceding the east coast of the Caspian Sea. For them, as long as Ashgabat is still in their hands, it doesn't matter if the desert areas of the East China Sea are abandoned"

"In this way, we can master most of the Caspian Sea"

Bayar nodded, "The Ministry of Justice understands that we don't need to take action to get rid of Karim. Just let the Kurds in Baku do it. Karim is a Kurd. He will open his arms for any tribe who defects to him and will not doubt it at all."

"Now Tabriz, the westernmost province of Persia, is in the hands of Karim. The most powerful cavalry team stationed there are the Kurds. The Baku Kurds can easily enter Shiraz, where the palace of Karim is located through Tabriz."

"There is no need to be too anxious to talk about Persia. It will take time to contact the Kuban Kurds. If it succeeds, it may take several years to go to Shiraz and succeed."

"In this way, the ministry will do two things immediately after the meeting. One is to meet with the representative of Dobastan as soon as possible and tell him what we mean. When the army is approaching, he should agree to the matter of garrisoning, and then meet with the Ottoman representative and agree on cooperation."

"Go south to contact the Bakukukurds as soon as possible"
