Chapter 26 The Russians’ calculations

 After leaving, Kitard asked Baodunge to take Abahai away first.

He dragged ten of his own soldiers behind him because he still had something to say to Gongge.

Gongge is thin and withered, and he does not look like a tribal Dazai Sang, but like a farmer who works hard all day long under the Qing Dynasty.

However, Kitard knew that the reason why the Heshuote tribe had not been won over and divided by the Russians was that he played a very important role in it.

"Huntaiji"

When parting, Gongge hesitated again and again, but finally spoke out what was in his heart.

"According to Dadaiji's idea, even if I agree to marry Abahai to you, the dowry will not be too much. At most, Sekese is supposed to have a thousand households, but he only gave him five hundred.



"Because of your appearance, it is no longer possible for him to seal Sekesena near the Manech Lowlands. Therefore, at most, he will bring over a thousand families under his control. As for Sekesena..."

Kitard said: "Sekese, then don't stay in the Heshuote Department. I am going to let him go to Truqin. After getting familiar with the situation there with Abahai, let him become the Zaisang of Truqin."

Or join the Truchin Army as a soldier"

"No," Gongge shook his head, "Even if the son of Zhamu Yang and the Cossacks wanted to inherit the position of Da Tai Ji, the majority of Tai Ji and herdsmen would not agree, leaving Sekese Na in the tribe to deal with Hun.

Taiwan and Kyrgyzstan will be more advantageous in the future"

"According to my speculation about Dadaiji, he will seal Sekesena to the south of Yeisk, closer to the Kuban area."

"Huntaiji, if you become the Great Taiji of Heshuote Department in the future, you will have thousands more troops under your command!"

Kitard thought, "What opportunity will there be?"

Gongge looked at no one around him and said: "Ever since Dadaiji married a Cossack woman, the woman was still very charming at first, which fascinated Dadaiji. But later, as she gave birth to several children one after another, her figure changed.

Things changed, and Dadaiji gradually became bored."

"During this period, the originally strong and powerful Dadaiji was bewitched by the Cossacks and handed over most of the rights in the tribe to the Heshuotes who had been trained in the Azov Fortress.

, these people have long since joined the Orthodox Church and have families on the west bank of the Don River."

"These people perform tricks to make Datai Jicheng drunk and dreamy every day. Don't look at the fact that there are only women in his big tent on the high platform. There are also several of his women in Tsaritsyn on the upper reaches of the Don River. Every summer, he

They would go north on a Russian ship to live in the name of cooling off from the summer heat."

"He is also addicted to meat and indulges in excessive sexual activities. In the past few years, his health has been getting worse and worse. He suddenly fainted and fell to the ground several times. I see, he doesn't have much time left."

"At that time, with the support of Huntaiji and the permission of the Great Khan, Sekese will be able to ascend..."

"Da Zaisang, Zhamu Yang should have many brothers and nephews, how can we let Se Kese take the position so easily?"

A sneer appeared on Gongge's face.

"Don't Huntaiji know why Zamuyang is so free to indulge in women? His close relatives, brothers and nephews were bribed by the Russians like Nur Ali Khan in the Kazakh tent, and they all moved to live in Zaporozhye. The tribe

In fact, everything is controlled by Zhamu Yang”

"As a result, Huntaiji had one thousand more tents, and I had more than a thousand tents under my subordinates. In the past few years, because Zhamuyang ignored the affairs of the tribe, my herdsmen were all prosperous, although there was only one

There are more than a thousand households, but there are many households with more than two males."

"My pasture is close to Sekesena. If Huntaiji needs it, I can only do it if Huntaiji needs more than a thousand tents."

Kitard was moved in his heart, but he was not the kind of person who would get excited when people talked about him.

"Da Zaisang, can you transfer a thousand boys from the tribe who are over twelve years old and under eighteen years old to Truqin?"

A hint of black suddenly appeared on Gongge's face, but he was also known to be a good person. He said in an instant: "It's a bit difficult for a thousand people, but it can still be done with five hundred people. I want to ask Huntaiji, do you want these?"

What do people do?"

"What else? Let him study in school. After graduation, he will either join politics or join the army and become my assistant."

Gongge hesitated for a while and thought to himself: "Look at what this guy did in Truqin and his record of defeating the Chechens and Ottomans. If they are true, Lashi will become a khanate in the future, no matter whether he wants it or not."

Sweating is a matter of course."

"If we don't make friends with him in advance at this time, won't we be at a disadvantage in the future?"

"What's more, if Sekesena really becomes the next great lord of the tribe, the pastures will be re-divided in the tribe. Depending on his relationship with Sarai, wouldn't it be easy for the lost thousand people to come back?



Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and seemed to have made a lot of determination.

"Huntaiji, since I said that, it's only a thousand people. To be honest with you, my herdsmen only have about 1,500 households in name, but the number of herders exceeds 10,000. It can still be done with a thousand people."<

/p>

"A word is settled"

Kitard stretched out his palm, and Gongge had no choice but to high-five him as an oath.

......

After leaving Gongge, Kitard's expression was not as relaxed as when he met Zhamuyang, Gongge and others.

This is because the attitude of the Russians was roughly determined before he came to the Heshuote Department.

They apparently obtained the reason for Rumyantsev's death from the captured Ottoman prisoners.

However, "Although the Truchens had laid an ambush on the hill in advance, only the Ottomans' long-barreled firecrackers could accurately hit a man on a horse from hundreds of meters away. With Truchen's ability, it was not possible

You probably own this thing”

"Most of the Ottomans were also on it. Rumyantsev was not a celebrity. The Ottomans just used long-range kills to scare the cavalry who came to investigate. In other words, Rumyantsev died in an accident."

"What's more, the Truchens later turned against the Ottomans and defeated them"

This was Bekotov's inference, and he immediately reported it to Takishev, a senior official in Astrakhan Province.

However, although they temporarily gave up the pursuit of Truqin and acquiesced that Sarai's resurrection was due to fear of them, they were still not prepared to let the Turgut people go.

"Set up a branch of the ambassador in Truchyn, set up a platoon of Cossack cavalry, let Dudin go to Magal City to monitor nearby, and participate in military and government affairs in Truchyn area. Although there is no Zalgu there, Dudin's opinions

Just like Zhargu”

"The Russians must take 10% of the taxes from Truchen, Kayasura, and Alan City, and Sarai will pay them directly. In this way, they will not violate the treaty with the Persians and Ottomans."

"And..."

This is what Bekotov particularly emphasized.

"Since Lashi is ready to attack the Khiva Khanate, he agreed to it"

Originally it was just a casual thought by Kitard and a casual comment by Lashi, but unexpectedly it became the most important thing for Russians.

Naturally, this is their plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Although the Khiva Khanate has declined under the attack of the Persian Empire, the Uzbek cavalry and Turkmen cavalry in its territory are both brave and good at fighting. The former emperor of the Persian Empire, Nadir Shah, mobilized an army of 200,000 to capture this place.<

/p>

If the Torguts only dispatched 10,000 cavalry, even if they were lucky enough to win, both sides would suffer losses. Not to mention plundering a large number of people, it would be problematic to successfully return to their original base.

What's more, there are Kazakhs...

The above is what Kitard is worried about.

Although Lash agreed to them and promised to wait until the autumn was high and the horses were fertilized, wouldn't such a big movement, given the cunningness of the Russians, be deliberately revealed to the Khivas through the Kazakhs?

"That's for sure"

On the way, Kitard couldn't help but murmured.

"However, if this matter is completed, the Russians promise to officially confer the title of Great Khan to Lashi and give him the Khan flag, saber, mink hat, and mink coat that symbolize the Khan's position. This is the moment.

The only reason why Lashi, as the 'supervisor', suddenly changed his mind and became enthusiastic about this matter."

"Once the troops are dispatched, my Truchen will need to dispatch at least 3,000 men, and the headquarters will dispatch 5,000 cavalry. The Heshuote Department and the Dulbert Department will no longer plunder. They will definitely dispatch some troops. However, the expedition to Khiva

The people are so dangerous that they can dispatch up to a thousand people per unit."

"With 10,000 cavalry, the main force is of course Truqin. Can these 10,000 cavalry capture a Khiva city? No, before that, I must go to the Khiva Khanate in person."

After returning to Vetlyanka, I saw that Lash had fully opened the top window of the tent, and his face had changed from the previous gloomy look. He was obviously completely moved by the Russian promise of "canonizing the Great Khan", and begged.

Tad felt very uncomfortable when he saw it.

In a few days, Lash will take most of the herdsmen to move to their summer pasture, the Manuto Sea (the large saltwater lake south of Lake Elton) on the east bank of the Ezina River (Volga River), and he himself will also move

He quickly returned to Truqin, and when they were ready to move north, he said goodbye and went south.

This time, he brought Sekesena and Abahai with him.

Although he promised to marry Abahai, he did not want to marry an illiterate and thin fifteen-year-old girl. He planned to let the brother and sister train at Truqin's school for a year.

When Abahai recovered and reached the age of sixteen, he went to the Heshuote Department to welcome the bride.

And since he escaped from the Heshuo Special Department, the sad look on Abahai's face has also disappeared. Not to mention how happy Abahai is to marry such a tall, handsome and capable Huntaiji. At this time, Qita

Whatever De asked her to do, she would agree without hesitation.

Seeing the brother and sister looking so happy, Kitard was also infected and felt relaxed along the way.

When we arrived in Truqin, it was already June, the grasslands were already covered with cattle, sheep and horses, and the fields were lush green.

As soon as he entered his residence in Magar City, he handed over Sekesena and Abahai to Su Wenyu and let them enter the school to study.

And said to him: "From today on, use the four textbooks written in Chinese that we compiled together. When the young men from the Heshuo Special Department arrive, we will study Chinese together with the newly joined Armenians.



Su Wenyu was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.

However, Kitard's ambition was far more than that. He said to Chuhu'er: "You are the judge of Glia, the former enclave of our family in the Caucasus Mountains. You are familiar with the connections. Please go there immediately and let someone hide in the mountains."

All Christians are coming here, and tell the Alans and Georgians in Alan City to send a thousand young men to Truqin."

Chu Huer asked: "What if they don't agree?"

"Tell them that Truchin has been recognized by the Russians. If they don't agree, please think about the fact that the Chechens, Ottomans, and Armenians have all moved here. Isn't it enough to take them a thousand years?"
