April.

It has been three months since I returned to Truchen.

Kitard settled the Salykamysh tribe in a vast area on the west coast of the Caspian Sea, south of the Manech Lowland, and a hundred miles north of the Terek River.

Nowadays, the Chechens have a sphere of influence from the lower reaches of the Terek River to the Chechen Island near the sea outlet. Although Truchin had defeated them not long ago, before they had the absolute strength to crush them,

Kitard didn't want to actively provoke them.

As he expected, although he led his army out for several months, the Chechens did not take advantage of the situation. Mansour still focused on stabilizing the interior.

Within them, there are still a large number of Dagestanis who are ready to make a move.

This area close to the Caspian Sea coast was not favored by the Russians because of the lack of good ports. This can be seen from the fact that they previously preferred to occupy Baku and other places further south.

It has become an established fact to strike first and wait until the Russians react.

This is Kitard's strategy.

This place is much better than the former barren land on the west bank of the Amu Darya River. None of the Sarykamysh people would be happy to get such a pasture.

However, Sangkun didn't seem to like taking on the role of the tribal Khan, not to mention that he had already arrived in someone else's territory, so it would be inappropriate to call himself the Khan. When he learned that his sister was studying in Truqin, he proposed to Kitard

I also went there to study.

Kitard got what he wanted, and after discussing with him and the elders of the tribe, they reached an agreement that they would be completely integrated into the Turgut tribe, and that the tribe would be managed by Zaisang.

Dai Qing, a tribal nobleman whom he met in Muirak City, was lucky enough to be appointed as Zaisang by Kitard.

As for the five thousand Turkmen Zoroastrian households, they were all integrated into farms with a radius of several hundred miles along the lower reaches of the Kuma River centered on Magar City.

Chitard kept its promise.

In the last battle of Alan City, a large number of young men from the Armenian tribe died, leaving thousands of families with orphans and widows. Kitard paired them with the more than 2,000 young Turkmen serfs who had moved over and had no families.

sub.

At this time, Raphael, the leader of the Armenians, was looking at not having enough ability to help them, but it was better now.

However, in order to calm the conflicts, Kitard personally came forward to make these Turkmen men and Armenian women give up their previous religious beliefs and convert to the Taoism of the Salykamysh people.

Speaking of this Taoism, as mentioned before, Qiu Chuji once visited the Hongji La tribe and lived there for a period of time, and left a Chinese version of "Quan Zhen Tong Lun" for them.

Later, the wise men of this tribe replaced the Taoist gods with many gods of shamanism, but the cultivation methods were still based on Taoism, thus creating the strange existence of the Sarekamysh tribe that emerged from the Hongjira tribe.<

/p>

In the past two months, Kitard read the book carefully, and finally worked with Turandot to revise it again.

He retained the immortal system of shamanism, but cut out the complex and simplified it, retaining only a few immortals of heaven and earth, added some Bodhisattvas of Lamaism, and restored the hell system.

The method of cultivation completely retains everything in the Quanzhen religion except for alchemy. In Chitard's view, Taoism actually takes Chinese medicine as its core, and then relies on it to understand oneself, maintain health, cure diseases, and nourish qi.

A hodgepodge of practices and practices that are actually very useful.

In order to cater to the habits of the people here, a set of prayer rituals are naturally added.

As a result, a strange religion was born that included shamanism, Taoism, Buddhist gods/bodhisattvas, and Taoist cultivation methods. It required sitting and praying for an hour every day, and attending a Taoist temple at least once a month to receive sermons and pray.

Since Qiu Chuji's name was Changchun, Chitard simply named this sect "Changchun Sect".

Changchun Sect, in Mongolian or Turkic language, is the Quanzhen Sect in Chinese.

In this era, it is impossible for people at this time to not believe in religion at all, so this can be regarded as emerging as the times require.

Since Turandot was the only one who knew this classic well, after a Taoist temple named "Changchun Temple" was built in the city, she was asked to preside over it.

She also appointed several boys and girls from the Salykamysh and Turkmen people as her disciples, and at the same time they studied Chinese, Mongolian and the newly compiled "General Theory of Changchun".

The former nanny of Kitard, Saren Eji, was familiar with some things about shamanism and Lamaism, so she simply let her serve in the Taoist temple and assist Turandot in taking care of the Taoist temple.

Saren Eji also knew that Turandot would become one of Hundaiji's wives sooner or later, and he was very happy to do this.

In only two months, the Taoist temple was built in a hurry. In order to allow Saren Eji to fully assist Turandot, Kitard transferred her son, eighteen-year-old Batu, to serve as her personal guard.

During his absence, Lash had already asked the great lama Norbu Zang Tenzin to build a lamasery in the city. When Kitard and others returned, the temple had just been repaired, and Kitard had no objection to this.

As a tribe that firmly believes in Lamaism, it is too weird to not have a Lama temple. As for why it built a Taoist temple, it is naturally covered up under the guise of appeasing the newly arrived tribes.

Although the Lama Temple was built, Kitard had his own ideas on how to promote Lamaism.

"Great Lama, Lamaism is so profound and profound that it is really inappropriate to put all school-age children into the temple to practice"

Norbu Zang Tenzin was also an eminent monk who went to Lhasa and obtained the Bandida degree. However, because he was Ayuqi Khan, he became the chief lama of the tribe at the age of more than 20 years old.

"Oh?"

"My suggestion is to select smart people from the tribe to enter the Zhao Temple to study scriptures. The number should not be too large. Only one person per 100 households can be born. In this way, real Gelongs can be cultivated for the Zhao Temple...

”

Having said this, he looked at Norbu Zang Tenzin.

Rob Zang Tenzin suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Nowadays in Turgut, there are not a hundred but dozens of large and small temples. Each temple has a lama (presiding officer), Gelong (ordinary monk), and students studying scriptures. Since Gelong cannot get married, he

He often committed adultery with the wives and daughters of pastoral households in the name of preaching in pastoral areas, which caused very bad effects.

Why did Lashi revise the Oirat Code? Apart from the fact that when he came to a foreign land, especially when dealing with a large number of Russians, he needed to stipulate matters in this area. Internally, it was because of the rape and adultery that Gelon often committed.

Sometimes, these Gelongs even attack school children who are studying scriptures, which is even more embarrassing.

Due to the small population of the Torhut people and their great respect for the Lamaist monks, Gelong who committed such crimes would be punished by confiscation of some cattle and sheep and ordered to serve as a temple handyman for a certain period of time.

After Lashi revised the code, he added a section on exile, which was actually a shield for Gelong.

Kitard didn't want something like this to happen to his truchen again.

"Anyone who commits adultery or crimes in Gelong will be stopped from being a monk and will be exiled to Gelia to mine. Then the lama will promote those who are qualified after five years of training as schoolchildren to Gelong. By the way, you must choose those with a firm mind.

, rather than being stuffed in at will by major families."

"Those who excel in Gelong are recommended to study in Lhasa"

"Only after further study can you be qualified to preside over a temple as a lama"

On the surface, Kitard was trying to reduce the harassment of the people by the lamasery. In fact, if he followed his approach, there would be no more than thirty schoolchildren entering the only lamasery in Truchen. They would first study the sutras for five years, and then

Studying abroad in Lhasa and obtaining the highest degree like "Bandida" will not take more than ten years.

In ten years, if there were no accidents, I would have become a powerful force. By then, I would have a solid foundation to face Lamaism.

Norbu Zang Tenzin was also troubled by the large number of lamas who committed crimes under him, so he agreed to his request after some thought.

After a large number of farmers and herdsmen arrived, Truqin finally ran out of the grain he had stored. Fortunately, he still had hundreds of thousands of silver coins available. After distributing some silver coins at one time, he barely stabilized the situation.

For the soldiers who followed him to the Khiva Khanate, he distributed 100,000 silver coins to the 5,000 people according to their merits. Those who stayed behind in Truqin also distributed five silver coins per person.

Kitard never wastes any time. Soon after returning to Truchen, he married Abahai and Turandot under the auspices of the tribe's chief minister, Sambodunge, and the great lama Norbu Zang Tenzin. From then on, they were officially married.

own home.

After finishing all these things, the time has come to April.

Chitard finally turned his attention to the main issue.

"After the Battle of Khiva, a conclusion can be drawn"

"That is, with the current capital alone, and even the entire Torgut tribe, they are still no match for the Russians. One of the Tsaritsyn Front troops can easily defeat me."

"The foundation of my career is cavalry. This cannot be lost. But if I still use the flint-haired short musket now, it will definitely not work. Last time, I only dealt with a tribe of the Khiva Khanate. It would be a bit difficult. If I encounter Cossacks who can easily cost tens of thousands,

The cavalry is even less of an opponent."

After thinking for a long time, he decided to officially put the Mini bullet and the matching revolver on the agenda.

For him, it is not difficult to make Mini bullets, nor is it difficult to make a single-shot Mini gun, but it is difficult to make a rotating Mini gun that is close to the pistols of later generations.

There are several difficulties:

First, the Mini bullet must operate in conjunction with the rifling, which will undoubtedly cause difficulties in mass production;

Second, currently he can only use the firing pin to hit the paper-cased bullet to fire Mini bullets. If an iron or copper shell is used, the cost and process are simply unimaginable.

The firing of paper shells will leave gunpowder residue in the barrel of the gun, which is a big trouble to clean up.

The third is the technology of automatic rotation of the runner. In fact, for him, who has completed the production of after-loading flintlock guns and mass-produced them, it is the least difficult. With manganese steel and machine tools, this technology is the easiest to solve.

It is conceivable that if his cavalry had a six-round minigun, plus a musket and a saber, they would be far ahead of any army at this time in terms of mobility and lethality.

For the cavalry, he has six mini bullets available, which are fired at close range. As long as he practices properly and the six bullets are used up, with his large number of cavalry, it will be easy to annihilate the opponent's cavalry in a cavalry battle.

For the infantry, he has a huge advantage in organic power, and can easily adopt tactics such as detours and setting up the battlefield in advance.
