Chapter 35 Wild Spraying of the Red River (1) Termez

 At the beginning of this year, not only did the situation in the Bukhara Khanate change drastically, but the Kokhan country, which "restored its country" from the Kyrgyzstans, also changed drastically.

At this time, the Qing Dynasty had completely suppressed the chaos of the chieftains of Jinchuan, and once again turned its attention to the northwest.

Previously, Qitade had sent someone to meet Emperor Qianlong and told him something.

"My eastern border is ending in Yili'er, and from then on, we should guard the border together"

Qitade sent a letter of nationality to Hongli, which was also covered with his seal, Mongolian and Chinese characters.

After obtaining this book, in order to completely eliminate the influence of Hezhuo in southern Xinjiang, Hongli sent Fucha Mingliang, who had just experienced the Battle of Jinchuan, to be the General of Kashgar, to take down the country of Kokhan and the Badakh Khanate, which had once housed Hezhuo.

Soon, the army led by Baoning, a descendant of Heshuottaiji in Qinghai, defeated Narbatu, the Sultan of Kokan in the Battle of Fergana (later Fergana City). Narbatu fled in a hurry. At this point, the Qing Dynasty took the entire Fergana Basin.

After Qitade learned about it, he sent someone to inform General Mingliang of Kashgar, and made it clear that Truchen had no interest in the Fergana Basin.

After Mingliang received this promise, he continued to let Baoning go south and continue to pursue Narbatu. Narbatu finally fled to the Badakh Khanate (later Afghan Fazabad) and was taken in by Sultan Sulertansha.

More than ten years ago, this Suletansha took in Hezhuo, and although he finally killed Hezhuo, he did not hand them over to the Qing army, which obviously made the Qing court very dissatisfied.

At this time, Baoning had already captured the Penchi River Basin and set up a camp in Ishkasen (the later Afghan Ishkasen, Afghanistan, at the turn of the Penchi River).

Since Truqin appeared, Emperor Qianlong did not dispel his ambition to manage the northwest, but instead became stronger. Although he could not cross the line between Zhaisangbo and Yili, it aroused his intention to march to the southwest of southern Xinjiang.

A large number of new Manchuria, including the Ewenki, Xibe and Hezhe, still migrated from the Northeast and were placed in large quantities on the Pamir Plateau.

Seeing that Ishkasen's geographical location was important, Baoning asked a young Siberzo leader named Tubert to cultivate here with a Zuo (one Niulu three hundred households).

Baoning stopped when he reached this point - he had learned that Ashina, the fourth prince of the Truqin Empire, brought a division to the north bank of the Amu River.

How to deal with the Badakh Khanate, which frequently takes in traitors, and how to deal with the reaction of the near-side Afghan Empire, he needs to figure it out before he can decide on his next move.

And Asina, who was stationed on the north bank of the Amu River, also hesitated after learning about this.

Originally, he wanted to cross the river from Paka in the upper reaches of the Amu River (Pench River), and then detour from the south bank to attack Mazarri Sharif.

But the current situation has changed again.

Termez.

Although Asina was only sixteen years old, Qitad still asked him to lead the army to implement the Gandhara plan that he hesitated for a long time.

If the Qing army on one side had no action, he would obviously not have made up his mind, but with the intervention of the Qing army, he also made up his mind.

At this moment, he was not ready to attack the Qing army, but was preparing to form a complete alliance with him.

At this time, Mingliang had already formulated a major plan to completely take down the entire Pamir Plateau and even the Kashmir region in later generations. After learning about this plan, Qitad was ready to cooperate with him to fight and then realize his Gandhara plan.

This time he brought one division and one brigade were transferred from the local area, and two brigades were trained in the Kazakh area, all of which were mountain brigades!

As the deputy division commander, Suhe is actually the commander of this mountain division.

Suh also serves as the commander of the brigade of the first brigade, the commander of the second brigade is Yan Dunhuang, and the commander of the brigade of the third brigade is Tiemurlan, a Hazara man who used to surrender to Truqin in the Battle of Hualazimo!

The Third Brigade of Timurland is worth mentioning.

Since the Battle of Hualazimo, Truqin has brought about 20,000 Hazara households from northern Afghanistan, all of which are placed in the Kazakhstan area, and recruited three thousand teenagers who passed through the school to form a mountain brigade.

This mountain travel is the focus of this Qitad Gandhara plan.

Timurlan has changed his name to Timur at this time, but it is actually Timur. In order to show the difference, he will call it Timur in the future.

The former Zoroastrian pirate of Aral Island, Rahman, commander of the Truchenli Fleet, was already one of the great members of the empire. Although he was nominally the Ming power messenger of the Truchenzor, his focus was obviously not on that.

Rahman's eldest son is Naz, who is almost thirty years old. He is now in charge of intelligence work in the two river basins. Afghanistan, Pamir, and Kokhan are all under his jurisdiction, so this time he has naturally followed Ashina.

Tieren, the second son of Techina, has been following Ashina and is in charge of Ashina's personal guard camp.

"The current situation is"

Naz is reporting the latest situation.

"The leader of Mazarisha Sharif was originally a Tajik, but was later overthrown by Rasim, the Bukhara noble who wandered here. Rasim called himself Khan and obtained Durani's first acquisition"

"When our country conquered the Bukhara Khanate, a large number of Bukhara nobles fled here, and they also brought a lot of slaves and wealth. In this way, Rasim Khan's strength increased greatly. After Timur Khan came to power, he recognized his position as governor and also allowed him to take charge of Kunduz and Talukan in the east."

"However, Kundus has its own tribe, and it is also a tribe dominated by Tajiks. It can gather 5,000 tribal cavalry, so naturally ignore Rasim and just serve allegiance to Kabul"

"Temur Khan moved the capital to Kabul. Although he brought 20,000 Durani households, the nearby ones were mainly Girzai people, which made him feel scared, so he was foolish. Since the Uzbek Rasim was in charge of Kunduz and Talukan, he also ordered that the leaders of the Girzai people also take charge of the places."

"He naturally made the wishful thinking to let the Uzbeks and the Girzai fight to the death, and let both of them suffer losses, so that they will not affect his status"

"The Kundu scholars were originally loyal to him, so the Kundu scholars were also angry. He happened to have a treasure in his hand..."

"Baby?"

"Yes, this treasure is not an object, but a person. This person is called Samusak. He was the grandson of Yamato Zhuo who was entrenched in Yarkand. After the Qing army recovered the southern border, they almost caught all the descendants of Hezhuo, leaving only this person missing"

"Samsak escaped from Kashgar and came to Kunduz. He first defected to Suletansha of the Khanate of Badakh Mountain in the east. Although Hezhuo died at Suletansha, this time Suletansha did not kill him, but sent him to Kunduz"

"If Timur Khan had not done this, Samusak would have existed as an imam that was highly respected by the Kunduz tribe. Such a thing happened. In addition, Afghanistan was in chaos again, and the leader of Kunduz decided to support Samusak as the sultan and established the Kunduz Sultan Khanate"

"And Talukan, on the east side, was originally a Tajik tribe under the jurisdiction of Kundus. They were always in peace, and they became interested in seeing Kundus do this."

"After the fall of Kokhan Kingdom, its leader Narbatu also fled here. The leader of Talukan supported this person as the leader and established the Talukan Khanate. Narbatu was a person that the Qing court was eager to obtain, and Samusak was similar. Therefore, it was inevitable that the Qing army would enter the upper reaches of the Amu River, that is, the Penchi River area."

"However, east of Talukan, the Khanate of Badakh Mountains, if the Qing army wanted to capture Samusak and Narbatu, they had to cross the Khanate of Badakh Mountains. The sultan of the Khanate had had a grudge against the Qing court before, and because they killed Hezhuo, they did not hand it over to the Qing court for disposal."

"They surrendered to the Qing Dynasty at first, but later they were scolded by Emperor Qianlong and then turned to Dulani, which even annoyed the Qing Dynasty."

"A army mainly composed of the Sorens and good at mountain combat in the Qing Dynasty has arrived in the Penchi River Basin. Their work has arrived in the Amu River area. It must have received information from our country and stopped on the east bank of the Penchi River"

"The deputy commander of the Qing army was named Baoning, who was also a descendant of Taiji, a former Qinghai Heshuot Khanate. He is currently stationed in Selekur, but his vanguard has arrived in Ishkasen"

(Serkur, Tashkurgan, my country in later generations)

"After learning about this, Baoning sent someone to contact our country"

Asina nodded, "The situation is complicated at the moment. Rasim Khan in the Mazarish Sharif area in the south can dispatch 20,000 troops after being strengthened by fugitives in the Bukhara Khanate, and tens of thousands of people can be dispatched. How to enter is also a problem."

"Then it was about contacting the Qing people. Although the father had ordered that the land they occupied should not be deprived, if they reached Mazarri Sharif, would we also give it up?"

"Also, Naz, tell me about Hazara people and Gilzai people"

"Yes, Your Highness. The leader of the Hazara people is Orgrad, but he is a Mongolian name. However, he can't speak Mongolian language, only Persian, and a Persian language mixed with a lot of Turkic and Mongolian languages"

"Originally, they had no fixed tents, and their pastures were spread all over the north and south of the Kush Mountain in Xingdu. After Timurland defected to our country, Dulani strengthened his control over them and allowed them to move them all to the south of the Kush Mountain in Xingdu"

"After Durani's death, the successor Timur Khan was not worthy of prestige, and the major governors in the territory became independent, and the Hazara people began to migrate north of the Hindu Kush Mountain"

"Argrad Khan received contact from our country and agreed immediately. Mazarisha Sharif was next to the Bak Mountains belonging to the Hindu Kush Mountains. He has now led 5,000 elite cavalry to Abak on the southern foot of the Bak Mountains and controlled the pass of Bak Mountains."

"Originally, Rasim Khan of Mazarishaif wanted to attack Orgrad Khan with all his troops, but with Kunduz and Talukan's great changes, and our army suddenly appeared on the north bank of the Amu River, he couldn't help but hesitate..."

Although Ashina is young, she is obviously not stupid. "When the Bukhara fled south, there must be our people inside"

Naz smiled and said, "That's nature. Also, most of the places between the Pamir Plateau and the Hindu Kush Mountains are the territory of the Gilzai people, mainly centered on the Kunduz River Basin, with at least 50,000 tents, and intersected with the pastures of Kunduz, Talukan, Badakh Mountain and Hazara people."

"This is a powerful force. Originally, there were only Patans here, which were Pashtuns. After the former Garras, they married Patans in large numbers, which later led to the division of Pashtuns. The tribes dominated by Garras men and Patan women gradually became Girzai people"

"The tribes that mainly Patan men and some Gloro women became Durani people, and the Durani people had about 60,000 entries"

"But these two Pashtuns are not the largest. There are also a large number of Pashtuns around the great city Herat to the west. The Persian mixed-race Pashtuns were originally the largest and most powerful. However, due to the rise of Dulani in Kandahar, the Dulani became the largest tribe among the Pashtuns"

"After Durani became emperor, the Pashtuns of Herat also called themselves Durani. They had 100,000 tents, and actually controlled the places near Persia in Afghanistan"

"Our spies also arrived there. The current Governor of Herat is Mahmoud, the son of one of the three generals under Durani. He inherited the position of Governor of Herat. This man seemed to be stronger than the other Governors. Within a few years, he completely unified the territory."

"The Durani, Persians, and Baloch people who are centered on Herat are completely loyal to him, and even Zabole, who originally belonged to the Persian Empire, was occupied by him."
