Qitade thought about it again.

"Although the northern provinces of Kazakhstan are cold and freezing, their land is fertile and they are also a good place to grow rye. Nowadays, the Ministry of Agriculture of my country has cultivated cold-resistant wheat varieties and is vigorously promoting them to various places."

"At present, my country's immigration to the Far East has not yet ended. Every year, thousands of households are accustomed to the cold Japan. When North Korean immigrants arrive, they simply leave it here, such as Custana, Astana, and Karaganda."

He asked again: "What is the surrounding situation?"

Sheling said: "There was chaos within the Kyrgyzstans again. Originally, with the support of our country, the Kyrgyz Baturu Edick unified the tribes and occupied the Fergana Basin, which was occupied by the Kokan country."

"The conditions in the Fergana Basin are much better than those near Isek Lake, so Edicki moved the capital there. However, there are far more Uzbeks there than Kyrgyzs. Edicki was assassinated while outing"

"The Uzbeks took the opportunity to overthrow the Kyrgyz rule, drove them out of the basin, and rebuilt the Kokhan Kingdom. At the moment, its Khan was Narbuta. He obviously knew that we were behind the Kyrgyzs, and immediately and loyal to the Afghan Empire and the Qing Empire at the same time"

"After our country took over the Kazakhstan land, we focused on internal construction and integration, so we ignored them. The Kyrgyzstans scattered in Lake Isek, Taras River, and Naren Basin have resumed the previous situation of the lords separating the country"

"After the Bukhara Khanate in the south was defeated by the Afghan Empire last time, Durani was given a prophet's holy artifact to Durani, allowing Durani to retreat to the area south of the Amu River. Nowadays, both sides are in peace"

"With Dulani's death, although the Afghan Empire was nominally controlled by his son Timur Khan, his prestige was far less than that of his father"

"Now Timur Khan can only control the areas near Kabul, and other important places, including the Peshawar area, which originally belonged to the Mughal Empire, are all in charge of their own affairs."

"In the Qing Dynasty, although they were far inferior to ours in combat power, they still had a relaxed freehand painting when dealing with the Hui tribes in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. They had firmly occupied those places, and had set up ministers to Xinjiang in Urumqi and generals in Kashgar."

"At present, both positions are held by one person. He is Fu Heng's second son, named Fu Longan, and he has some achievements. In fact, he is always in Kashgar, and the Urumqi area is under the control of Liu Yong, the son of Liu Tongxun, the former Minister of Military Affairs."

"In order to deal with us, they migrated many of the New Manchuria and Korqin tribes in the northeast. After the news of Russia's defeat by our country reached them, Emperor Qianlong also became interested. He sent troops to attack north and completely obtained the bottom of the Tuwa basin and the surrounding areas of Lake Baikal."

"However, his herdsmen were still extremely poor. In order to control the Mongolians, the Qing people allowed their young and strong people to enter the temple to serve as lamas. Since lamas were not allowed to get married, they obviously wanted to control their population"

"After our country acquired the Kazakh land, it occupied the river valley between the Sayan Mountains and the Jinshan Mountains, and built a castle at the eastern end of the valley. Many of the Tuva people and the Zasaktu Khan Mongols entered our country through this valley, and naturally they were accepted by our country, mostly in the Zhaisangbo area of ​​Karaganda Province"

"The Qing people did not respond to all this"

"After our country took over the Kazakh prairie and half of the Junggar land, we have already identified the border with the Qing people. Since your Majesty, you have promised never to go east, they want to reduce the population of the Mongols, so we waited for the Khalkhas to join us. Obviously, there are their spies here."

Qitad nodded, "When the matter here comes to an end, you send someone to contact Fulong'an and ask if you can set up a market market near Tarbhatai City. We need their tea, silk, porcelain, and in addition, tell them that in the southern deserts of Turpan and Hami, there are a large amount of saltpeter mines stored. If they are willing to mine, they can get them to Tacheng to trade with us in large quantities."

Sheling asked: "Why is Your Majesty so careful with the Qing people? With our strength, it is easy to completely capture the northern and southern borders, so we can develop those saltpeter mines by ourselves!"

Qitade shook his head, "People's hearts are not enough, they have both long and looking for Shu. It is already the limit of our national strength to occupy Yili. If there is no railway, I would probably not even want to take Yili."

"Concentrating limited resources into a certain place, and after doing a good job in another place, it has always been the national policy of our country. Yuzi, Zhong Kazakhstan, looks similar to the Mongols, but has a different language. Only then did I make up my mind to completely incorporate it. As for Dayuzi, it was just by the way."

"Your Majesty, what if the Qing people were deeply wary of us and were unwilling to trade saltpeter mines with us?"

"That's it, but we can make a branch line from Ayaguzi to enter the vicinity of Tacheng, which is specially used to trade tea, silk, porcelain and other things"

"Yes, but the Kyrgyzstan country?"

"Forget it, it only increases your worries. The Kyrgyz lords should be heading to us."

"That's natural. Even if they want to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, they have to cross the Tianshan Mountains first. How easy is it? Their territory is close to us. What if they don't surrender to us completely?"

"Very good, by the way, there is also a tentative field in the valley that relies on the Zazaktu Khan tribe. Trade with the herds there. Don't be mean to them. It will slowly turn it into a base to absorb the Khalkhas. The Kazakh herds are actually far more herds than the Khalkhas, and we are not short of skin and wool"

"It's just a means to attract them. They will get good news from our country from here. They can set up wool mills, air-dried meat factories, etc. in Ayaguzi. The planned railway is to pass through Ayaguzi. The place used to be just a trade base. If you want to become a provincial capital, how can you do without industry?"

"In addition, the Tianshan Mountains are rich in grapes and cherry grass, and you can also trade with us near Tacheng"

(Sakura, hops are also)

"Breweries and wineries can be set up in Ayaguzi"

"Your Majesty, there is also production near our Zhaisangbo"

"It's okay, you can continue to buy from the Qing people"

"What about Yili?"

"There are also rich in mineral resources near Yili. If the geographical location is not too remote, it would be a good place to set up a large industrial center."

"Take it slow, wait until Karaganda City is completed. At the same time, the agricultural conditions there are also very good, and your next goal is there"

"However, in principle, it cannot exceed Karaganda. You can just set up a medium-sized complex that can radiate the entire Yili Province and Almaty Province"

"By the same reason, you can set up a tentative site in a place bordering the Kyrgyzstan and exchange some materials with them, not to make profits, but to stabilize them"

Sheling has also worked in Truqin for decades, so he naturally knew that "stabilizing them" was actually "controlling them", so he nodded with understanding.

Qitad asked again: "Is there a brigade in Jizak?"

Jizhak, close to the Bukhara Khanate, was once a place where the Bukhara Khanate and the Kazakh Khanate repeatedly competed with each other. It was across the Turkestan Mountains and was surrounded by vast plains alluvialized by the Sir River, and is now controlled by Truchen.

“Yes”

"Very good. You can set up a tent near the pass where the Sir River flows out of the valley to trade with the people of Kokan. On the one hand, it can make the people of Kokan feel at ease, and on the other hand, the national grain production in Kokan is rich, so they can use grain to exchange industrial products with us"

"Similarly, contact Abu Ghazhan and set up a deliberation in Jizakh, where they trade with the Bukhara people, and the focus of the transaction is also on food"

"In the future, Jizak's status will be similar to Ayaguzi"

"The Ministry of Jobs understands"

"How are the two khans of Kazakhstan now?"

He refers to Abul Bandit Khan who occupied Turkestan and Yanger Khan who occupied Tashkent. In order to completely take over the entire Kazakh, he had to make a compromise and let the two continue to manage the above two cities. In addition to the cities, each of them also has about 3,000 herders.

The reason why he did not give Chimkent to Younger, but gave him the great city of Tashkent, was naturally to separate him from Abrbant.

"What else can you do? Just wait for death. These two people have married a lot of wives and concubines, hiding in the harem and giving birth to children all day long. Now they have dozens of children under their knees."

"Very good. They have several sons who are in our country. In fact, we did not treat them badly, but let them go to Truchen School to study. They will graduate in two or three years and will be released back then. Abrem Bandit is old and may die at any time"

"From the beginning, they were given the successor Khan who was once a qualitative person in our country. They were deeply influenced by our country and would soon take the initiative to hand over the regime."

"Yangel is still young and strong, but once Abrembant's Turkestan is handed over, he will definitely be in panic all day long. At that time, he will negotiate with him on the condition of retaining his family property, five hundred herders and five hundred farmers, and then take down Tashkent"

"I understand"

"By the way, how many brigades do you have now?"

"Six, Yili, Karaganda, Astana, Ayaguzi, Jizak, and Almaty each have one"

"Where is the population?"

"Your Majesty, there are about 500,000 households and nearly 3 million people in Kazakhstan, but most of them are concentrated in the Sir River Basin, and the rest are vast and sparsely populated"

"However, after our country took over, the pastorals were divided again. Nowadays, the herdsmen in various provinces are generally close, and most of the farmers in the country are Bukhara"

"The six brigades in our country are military farming brigades"

"Well, when a large number of Japanese people, the Koreans came, Turkestan and Tashkent were taken down, and another mobile brigade could be added, which would be located in Tashkent"

"Money and grain are spent on the income from border trade"

"Your Majesty, if you have this brigade, the eastern border region will have mobile power. What you mean is..."

"What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, in Central Asia, except for the Zarafshang Basin and the Sir River Basin, the rest are not a good place. As you said, it only adds to your worries. Is Your Majesty ready to take down the Fergana Basin or the Zarafshang Basin?"

"Well, I haven't thought it through yet. Let's talk about it then. Remember, this brigade focuses on mountain combat"
