He ​​wanted to go to the Heshuote tribe as soon as possible, and then meet with Gong Ge to find out his details.

However, the most important thing right now is to report Truchin's matter to Lash as soon as possible. His opinion is too important. If he does not dare to offend the Russians head-on, then things will be difficult to handle.

"What's more, if what Sekeserna said is true, then the Russians may have been doubtful at first, but now they will definitely believe that Sarai is not dead, and that the whole thing was planned by Lash. This is a big deal for the Russians.

A great threat"

"For the Russians, those who secretly accumulate strength and prepare to do evil things to them have always responded with thunderous means. Now that the Austrian succession war has ended, they have enough military strength to attack Turgut!"

When he thought of this, Chitard suddenly felt anxious.

He said to Sekesena: "If you have nothing else to do, just come back to Vitryanka with me."

Sekesena nodded and agreed to him without any hesitation.

At this time, the group of twelve people no longer traveled at the normal horse speed, but increased their horse speed and rushed back to Vitlyangka according to the strategy of resting every two strongholds.

Along the way, he got another piece of news from Sekese.

"The original commander of the Astrakhan Corps and Ambassador Plenipotentiary to Torgut, Colonel Spedon, has resigned from the position of commander of the Corps, and the position has been replaced by the Russian Major General Memoje"

The rank of the commander of the Astrakhan Army was raised, which means that the Russians smelled unusual movements within the Torgut tribe!

Vitlyangka is located in the middle of the west bank of the lower reaches of the Ezina River (Volga River). Close to the river is a swamp with rich water and grass, and there is a sand state in front of it, blocking the possibility of massive flooding.

But these are not the main ones.

It is a short distance from Sarai, the former capital of the Batu Khanate (the capitals of the Batu Khanate were all called Sarai, which means palaces, and there are several throughout the Khanate), which is later known as Selitlennoye, and a short distance from Vit

Liangka is only a few dozen miles away.

The new arrivals and Orlek obviously wanted to set up the royal tent in Batu Salai, but it had long been destroyed by the Cossacks and turned into their winter camp.

So, they chose Vitlyangka. Of course, this is the name of a Russian. At first, he and Orlek called him "King Hansalai".

The direct descendants of the family, and Orlek did this, naturally because they wanted to distinguish their tribe from the Borzhijin family and restore the glory of the Wang Han family.

Until Ayuqi Khan, this place was called King Hanzalai. However, after the death of the great Ayuqi Khan, the strength of the Khanate was greatly reduced due to frequent internal fighting, and the Russians took advantage of it.

In the past, during the era of Ayuqi Khan, although they also surrendered to the Tsar, they were just slaves. The biggest price was to participate in the Russian army's foreign conquests. Although they knew that the Russians had bad intentions of using war to reduce their young population, through

The looting and rewards in the war are also what they need.

Therefore, following the Russian army to fight the Swedes and Ottomans is actually a matter of mutual consent.

After the death of Ayuqi Khan, his direct descendants fought fiercely for the throne of Khan, which led to the internal division of the Khanate. The Russians first tried to send a plenipotentiary ambassador to the location of the royal tent. The ambassador was generally held by the commander or deputy commander of the Astrakhan Army.

They have offices in Salai.

In the beginning, the ambassadors were all in Astrakhan, and Salai ran in both directions. By the time of Lashi, the Torgut Khanate was at its weakest, so the ambassadors became permanent, and the Russians transferred the ambassador's office to

The place was called Vitlyangka. By the time of Lashi, people had forgotten "King Hansalai" and only remembered Vitlyangka.

During the Ayuqi Khan period, a wooden city was built here. In the Lashi era, the Russians simply moved the ambassador's office to the wooden city. Naturally, they could closely monitor the Khan and the de facto highest authority of the Khanate, Zargu (similar to

In the general committee of the Eight Kings to discuss affairs).

They supported the grandson of the previous Great Khan Wangbu (not a descendant of Jia En) Tsebok Dorji as the leader of Zargu, and also won over Datai Jizhamuyang of the Heshuote tribe and Datai of the Duerbot tribe.

Jize Dandorji, together with the Russian representative Dudin, immediately occupied four seats in the Bazhargu.

Therefore, when it comes to major issues concerning the Khanate's national economy and people's livelihood, Lashi cannot make decisions with just one word, and often has many constraints. In addition, so far, the Russians have not given the set of clothes, sabers, and scepters that symbolize the Khan's position.

To Lashi, he only has the title of "Supervisor of Turgut" on his head, which is looked down upon by many herders.

This is the important reason why Lash and his son are determined to leave Russia and return to their former pastureland.

However, what is beneficial to Lashi is that the great lama of the tribe, Norbu Zang Tenzin, one of the Zalgu, is definitely on the side of Lash. His prestige is almost on par with the Great Khan and the leader of Zalgu, so, at least in

Lashi can still make the decision in the army.

Norbu Zang Tenzin, considered to be Kitard's uncle, was one of the grandsons of Ayuqi Khan who was determined to promote Tibetan Buddhism in Europe. When he was six years old, he went to Lhasa to study scriptures and became a great master of this world.

A direct descendant of Lama Lai.

Like Galdan, he returned to Torgut after graduation and naturally became the great lama here, managing hundreds of lamasery temples and more than 3,000 lamas and sutra-study children in the Khanate.<

/p>

In addition to the above, the other two Zhargu are Lash's main assistants, the big zai Sangbaodunge and the second zai Sanghamu Yang (actually Zhamu Yang, in order to distinguish them from Da Taiji of the Heshuote Department).

, here changed to Hamu Yang), plus Lash, and the Russian permanent representative Dudin, this is Bazhargu.

When he walked near Mucheng, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Although he has not returned to Vitlyangka for a year, he is still very familiar with the original wooden city with a radius of about two miles.

Wooden buildings simply made of logs laid horizontally and riveted with iron nails fill the entire wooden city. In the center of the wooden city is the Lama Temple, which is the only masonry building in the wooden city. The Great Khan's Palace next to it is also made of wood.

The wooden strips were bent to look like a tent.

But the current wooden city is larger than before. On the north side, a new white marble castle was built next to the wooden city. Above the small castle is a tall wooden building with a sky, a spire, and painted walls.

Painted with bright paint, it looks like a Russian Orthodox church.

With suspicion, when he walked to the gate of the wooden city, Kitard raised the black token in his hand that Lashi had issued to his Qixue army.

The gatekeeper checked and let them in.

Lash's big tent is still the same sky-like wooden tent, with a thick colorful tapestry from Persia hanging at the door.

Just as Kitard was about to pick up the curtain and go in, the curtain swayed and opened first.

A person came out.

A Russian, about thirty years old, looks like a typical Russian regular soldier nowadays, tall and thin, with a rugged face and a curly golden beard.

His eyes were deep and his expression was sharp. When he saw him, Kitard couldn't help but think of the famous movie "This Killer Isn't Too Cold" that he watched later in life, in which the American police leader killed the killer at the end of the story.

Calm, seemingly relaxed, but with a fierceness that cannot be concealed.

This person is neither Speeden nor Duding, but he can enter and leave the Lash tent at will without being accompanied by Mongolian soldiers, so he is obviously not an ordinary person.

After seeing Kitard, this person was stunned for a moment, then stared at him for a long time, and then left without a care.

Based on Kitard's cultivation, I also felt a little nervous in my heart.

After entering the big tent, I saw Lashi sitting alone in the depths with his eyes closed and meditating. It was still broad daylight, but he did not open the skylight on the roof, and only used a surrounding window with glass for lighting.

Naturally, it looks a little dark inside.

Kitard walked into him cautiously and sat down cross-legged.

When I looked carefully, I couldn't help but feel sad even though he was a person from later generations.

The forty-five-year-old Lash has already turned completely white on his temples. When he closes his eyes, his eyes are wrinkled, which makes the wrinkles on his forehead very dazzling, and the nasolabial folds below are also quite prominent.

"Obviously a lot of things happened in the past year. Why didn't the Great Khan inform me?"

Just as he was thinking about it, Lash suddenly said something.

"Is it Sarai?"

He spoke very softly, obviously not wanting to disturb the people outside the window.

Kitard quickly replied: "It's me, Father Khan"

He understood instantly - even the timid soldiers patrolling everywhere had to be led to the tent by the guards when they returned to Vitlyangka to report to Lashi. This had been the case several times before.

Today was completely different, which meant that Lashi knew that he was coming back soon and had greeted the doorman in advance.

And after entering the big tent, who else could walk straight to La Shi and sit down next to him?

Lash opened his eyes, a hint of cruelty suddenly passed by, and soon turned into a gentle look after seeing Kitard.

Kitard finally felt relieved, "Although my father is a little older, he is still the great Khan of the past, the Great Khan of the Mongols in Torgut on the shores of the 50,000-mile sea."

Lash was also filled with emotion. This son seemed to have become a different person since he came back from the dead three years ago and set up a plan to escape successfully.

It was not that Sarai was not good in the past. As a nobleman, he was good at martial arts, Buddhist scriptures, Russian, and participated in government affairs. However, his body and bones were too weak, otherwise he would not have fallen into a serious illness after falling into the water.

But now he is obviously not the same as before. He is tall and straight. Although not majestic, he is still quite outstanding among the young Mongolians.

What's more, he has created a huge career in Truqin in the past three years.

This alone was something that Lash did not dare to do and could not do. Although he took huge risks, Lash tried his best to cover it up for his son in order to train him.
