Day 7.

Ogel.

Sengge still did not make any progress, and Solhan was anxious.

"Father, I must give you a clear word to whether to leave or not. If I don't leave, I should ask Truchen for help immediately"

"If you decide to leave, you will not be able to get to Hatu Ulya Sutai if you delay it. The counselor and minister can kill you on the spot on the grounds of delaying military aircraft"

Sengge has been spending the past few days in hesitation. It can be seen that he is sad, looking at his only son, this sadness seems to have added a little bit.

After a while, he finally spoke.

"Solhan, you have been secretly reading in Karaganda for three years. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Solhan did not urge his father again, but straightened his chest and replied: "Truchen is the holy place that nomadic tribes like the most yearn for"

"Kalaganda, the former Kazakh King's tent, was located. There were only a few more tents before, but now it is a magnificent city"

"There is also the so-called railway that we have never heard of, transporting coal, copper ingots, iron ore and other minerals here for further processing. The iron pots, copper pots, kitchen knives, iron stoves, and coal balls we use now are produced from there."

"They used steam engines to replace manpower for production, with the efficiency of ten times that of manpower, no no no no, more than a hundred times, and the quality was more reliable. In the past, we needed to use cattle, sheep and fur, horses and Han people to exchange iron tools. Not to mention the price, Han people often used inferior products as good ones, so that they would need to buy them as soon as possible next time."

"Truchen's iron tools are different, the quality is better than that of the Han people, and the price is very reasonable. They further processed the fur we exchanged for them in Karaganda"

"After processing, it was processed into a leather coat, wool quilt, hat, glove and other items in the factory. The price was several times higher, and then it was sold back to us"

"There are only a small number of herders around it, and Astana to the north is an agricultural area where a large number of rye from the Rakshasa Kingdom are planted. There are still a large number of herders in the vast Kazakh prairie, with a total of about four times that of Khalkha."

"They have strict regulations on the livestock raised by herders. Because there are a large number of pastures in the country, the prices of cattle, sheep, horses, and fur are not high, and the prices of food have always been stable, which has led to many herders becoming farmers."

"In addition, joining the army, working, and politics is much better than herders, and some people have left the pastoral areas. It is said that since the Truqin Empire took over the Kazakhsland, its population has decreased by more than 30%. Even so, it is still four times that of Khalkha."

"They have very strict management of pastures. In addition to the above-mentioned cases, the pastoral population will not grow too fast, and there are strict regulations on the migration range of each household. In addition to going to alpine meadows in summer, there is no restriction on coming to lowlands in winter, and horizontal movement is not allowed to exceed one hundred miles."

"It is not allowed to raise too many livestock. According to their words, the pasture is given by God, and in winter, the livestock of herders will not even let go of grassroots. Therefore, in addition to limiting the number of livestock, in winter, they will transport a large amount of dried alfalfa and rye straw that they grow to the pastoral area for their winter to survive the winter"

"At the same time, the shepherds under the Truqin Empire almost became settled herders"

"They set up cities, counties, and township institutions like the Han people in the pastoral areas, and appointed officials to manage them separately. The township chiefs are mostly local soldiers and retired from the army. You know, my father. The pastoral areas advocate bravery and riding and shooting, but these people are far inferior to soldiers."

"It is natural and easy to manage"

"Although there is no large-scale migration, supplies including tents, stoves, kitchen utensils, utensils, and food are very cheap. In addition, the lives of herders' families are actually many times better than before."

"All pastoral areas are under the jurisdiction of a large empire, and there is less migration, because disputes arise from fighting for pastures, water sources, and wood are greatly reduced. Once they stabilize, they will be tired of the current step-by-step state and flock to cities and farming areas to become workers and farmers"

"Because its leader was born in the Turgut tribe, one of the four tribes of Weila, he naturally advocated cavalry. At the beginning, a large number of young and strong pastoral areas were young, no, no, no, most of them were young people under the age of twenty who joined the army"

"Soldiers do not need to prepare their own food and equipment, and they are distributed uniformly by the state. They also have monthly salary, and can also arrange places when they are discharged from the army. There is also a considerable discharge fee, which can be regarded as a profession that everyone in the country yearns for"

"A large number of herdsmen's children have transformed into village chiefs, township chiefs, police officers, spies, etc., and they are still living a good life"

"They also have local troops, called militias, which are concentrated in winter by young and strong people in pastoral areas for training, and they still do not need to raise their own food and equipment."

"There is no corvee service in the country. Generally speaking, such as road construction, water conservancy, city construction, etc., they will spend money to recruit people to carry out the work."

"When the army sets off, it will not force the people to follow, but will have a special baggage battalion to take care of everything."

"It is almost impossible to break through such a country from within, and there is no strong enemy outside that can match them."

"Therefore, the child believes that they are the most powerful empire in the world. Compared with it, the Qing Empire is like a torch that cannot be compared to the same thing"

"Then why did you return here after graduation?"

"Father, they are good everywhere, but there are no nobles. According to the emperor Qitade, there is only a different division of labor, no distinction between high and low. Although we are bitter and cold here, we are the best people after all, and we can use others unscrupulously..."

When listening to Solhan's words, Sengge's expression was very complicated, but it could be seen that he listened very seriously and waved his hand when he heard this.

"Okay, Solhan, listen"

"I originally promised Danba to bring all the six hundred young men from the headquarters to Hatu Ulya Sutaikaren, but when I came back and thought about it carefully, it was very inappropriate."

"In front of the Qing people, I was always respectful to my father. I suddenly said those words at the alliance meeting. I didn't have to think that Danba and others were very shocked and dissatisfied. In their opinion, through the Qing court's policies for more than 100 years, Xiao Taiji in the pastoral area had long become a docile lamb and had no great insight."

"And I suddenly emerged. Even if he can't say anything now, he will not do anything. No matter what he has done before, such as hiding people and smuggling items, they will not let me go with the words I said in the Menghui."

"Then why do you still say it?"

"Oh, time is tight, and I can't talk too much to you. In this way, I will take away the three hundred old, weak, sick and disabled cavalry in the clan, and leave all the elites for you. Remember, once I leave, the Qing army of Kobdo will probably appear in Org soon"

"But you still have time. My father has sent someone to ask for help from the Truchens in the city of Barrier in the upper reaches of the Baktalma River. They have a mountain camp there, and they are probably rushing here at this time."

"I will have at least three days to arrive at Hatu Ulya Sutaikaren. During these three days, let alone the Qing army of Kobdo is also rushing here. If you are lucky, the Truchens will arrive at the same time as them."

"Father!"

Solhan's voice was almost crying at this time.

"You know that the tribe will suffer a great disaster, why do you still have to go to Hatu Ulya Sutaikaren?"

Sengge's eyes became firm.

"Just like I must say those words at the alliance meeting, they are all to alert the tribe members. Those words only barely touch the hearts of the tribe members. Only when I die alone will they completely awaken them!"

"Father!"
Chapter completed!
