Chapter 7: Chitard’s Autobiography (Part 1)
"My name is Deng Guangming. I was originally a veteran of later generations. I also have double majors in engineering and literature. I love ancient literature. Because of this, I gave myself the pen name 'Sa Lai' in college, which means 'Endless Literary Thoughts Sa Lai'."
', I am from Jiangnan, and I am obsessed with Kun Opera."
"Unexpectedly, he was unfortunately shot and killed while the criminal police brigade was chasing a drug dealer. However, a ghost could not return for a long time. It traveled more than 10,000 miles to the distant Astrakhan and possessed this man named
On the body of the eldest son of Turgut Khan of Tun Norbu Sarai"
"Tun Norbu-Deng, Sarai-Sa Lai, it's a coincidence"
"Chu Hu'er and others saw that I still had a breath, so they announced that I was dead, put me in a coffin with a small hole in the bottom, and returned to the tribe's winter king's tent."
"Does God want me to do a great job in the Torgut tribe? Is it easier said than done?"
"At this time, flintlock muskets and rifled guns were common in Europe. Bronze cannons also began to be installed in large numbers. Solid bullets and grenades were widely used. Infantry and naval tactics were also approaching modern standards. Shipbuilding technology was advancing with each passing day. Think about it.
It is a delusion to dominate the world with the black technology of flintlock guns, artillery, and warships."
"The Caspian Sea area where the tribe is located is the sphere of influence of Tsarist Russia. At this time, the population of Tsarist Russia was approaching 30 million. After being built by two generations of tsars, Alexey and Peter the Great, it was already the strongest country in Europe in the pre-Napoleonic era. It is said that
Napoleon swept across Europe, but who would have thought that Tsarist Russia's famous general Suvorov also crossed the Alps and invaded Italy? And returned to Russia unscathed?"
"In addition to the powerful Tsarist Russia, neighboring Persia should not be underestimated. Nader Shah was the greatest king in terms of force in the Persian Empire after the 18th century, and defeated the Ottoman Empire several times."
"In Europe, the famous Frederick the Great has opened the prelude to the unification of Germany. His great achievements have become the idol of many European male and female nobles, including the Russian monarchs."
"Even Osman is not easy to mess with. This is the 18th century, not the 19th century. He has still maintained his independence. Do you want to be able to touch him at all with just the Torgut nomadic tribe?"
"Could it be that Wobaxi's unfinished business will fall on my head? Wobaxi had 30,000 or more than 100,000 people when he set out, and only 30% remained when he returned to the Qing Empire. Does he want me to do it?"
Wear it through without rebelling, chrysanthemum peach electric drill'?"
"The Chinese are living and dying in their own territory. They never thought that they could acquire more land and use the value of land outside the territory to compensate the local people. A single Indian support could allow the British Empire to dominate for three hundred years.
At this time, the Qing Dynasty was extremely powerful. Even if the anti-Qing Dynasty succeeded, it would still be a piece of cake and the Westerners would take advantage of it."
"But what's the future of staying in Europe?"
"Finally, after much deliberation, I decided not to hide among the herdsmen on both sides of the Volga River after discussing with Don Roblash, but to come to the Caucasus Mountains. The Caucasus Mountains are rich in mineral resources. In later generations, I studied mining and metallurgical machinery.
I knew something about minerals and machinery, so I decided to try my luck there first."
"Don Roblash thought I was afraid of the Russians and didn't want to hide near the Volga River. How could I know what I was thinking?"
"What's good for me is that although I was a little disappointed when I came to the Torgut tribe, the memory of Sarai still gave me a little comfort. In order to maintain its independence in this foreign land, the tribe, whether it is a noble or an ordinary herdsman,
Vigorously promote Mongolian education"
"Although it is just a nomadic tribe, it is completely different from the Oirat tribes in the Western Region at this time. The literacy rate is at least 50%. Lash also issued a certificate for each herdsman to have at least one person who can write in Mongolian and read a complete book.
"The strict command of all scriptures"
“In addition to being repeatedly drafted by Tsarist Russia, at least 30% of the young people can speak some Russian. Since the tribe is full of Tatars who speak Turkic, at least one herdsman can speak Mongolian, Turkic, and Russian at the same time.
into"
"The tribe is not entirely a simple nomadic tribe. In participating in Tsarist Russia's previous wars against Sweden, Poland, and the Ottomans, they also received a large number of rewards from the Tsar, and muskets are one of them. Although most of them are matchlocks, but with
With muskets, there are craftsmen who can repair muskets."
"At this time, the residents in the North Caucasus were roughly divided into three types. Most of the people living near the Black Sea lived in the Kuban River Basin. They were naturally called Kubans by the Russians. The Cossacks built the city of Kuban there, which was later known as Kra.
Snowdar"
"Most of the people in the central part are located in the upper reaches of the Kuban River and the Kula River, and are dominated by the Adige people"
"Most people close to the Caspian Sea live in the Terek River Basin, mainly Chechens"
"At this time, the Chechens were nominally surrendered to Azerbaijan, a vassal state of the Persian Empire, and the Persian Empire had just signed a peace agreement with the Tsarist Russian Empire, but the core part of Tsarist Russian territory and the North Caucasus were separated by the Turgut people"
"As a result, the Kubans and Adi all pledged their allegiance to the Russians and Turguts at the same time. The Russians have moved a large number of Cossacks in the Kuban area and established a complete Cossack cavalry regiment."
"In order to secretly compete with Tsarist Russia for the Kuban area, the Turguts built a stronghold in the mountains near the Kuban city in a place called Goliya where the Georgians were hiding from the Ottomans in the name of exiled criminals, and occupied
Pasture nearby"
"It is a place of exile in name, but in fact it is the same as the Cossacks. It is to monitor the Kubans and Adi people in order to successfully obtain their tributes."
“So, in my first year in Glia, I built a simple machine tool completely by hand, and used the rich manganese ore resources in the Caucasus Mountains to improve the iron smelting technology, using drill bits with high manganese content to
The threads and rifling were processed, and a breech-loading flintlock gun was made."
"Even so, in Europe, with Persia becoming an established institution, there is still no chance of victory in the face of a large number of troops."
"But now that you are here, you must calm down and work slowly. In the world of life, you should hold up the three-foot sword, raise your arms and dominate the world. So what if you escape to the Western Regions of the Qing Dynasty? You are not just like everyone else.
!"
"After I came to the Caucasus, I naturally couldn't use Sarai's name anymore. Since my mother is a woman with Nogai ancestry, my appearance is slightly different from that of ordinary Mongolians. People say I look like a Qing person.
In Mongolian, people who look like Han people are called Chitard"
"It was originally the name used by the Mongolians in the Yuan Dynasty for the people of Liao, Jin and other countries. It was actually Khitan. With the blessing of Mongolian language, it became Qitard. So I got a third name, Qitad."
Morality"
"I read a time-travel novel in later generations, and he also rose up in northern Xinjiang. That person was named Nikan, and he built a great career."
"Nikan, Kitard, will Nikan's fate be fulfilled again in my body?"
"But in Nikan's era, a flintlock gun could dominate the world. Now..."
"There are few people in the Caucasus mountainous area. There are only a few hundred herders living far away from the headquarters. There is also a heavily armed Cossack regiment nearby. It is obviously impossible to achieve a career here."
"So, I thought of the place with the middle and lower reaches of the Kuma River as the core, which in later generations was roughly the Stavropol Territory. At this time, it was still an area of about tens of thousands of square kilometers, interspersed with swamps, and barren deserts.
"Land"
"There are only a few hiding places for horse thieves, bandits and pagans who are not allowed to the tribe. Since it is close to the Manech lowland, and beyond the lowland is the Mongolian pasture, so I want to move there"
"One year later, I asked Chuhu'er to continue to station in Gelia in the name of the judge, who was later named Gorya Chikliuch, and left Bayar to assist him. I took the one hundred weapons I had already practiced.
A Mongolian boy sneaked here secretly"
"After a campaign, we eliminated the horse thieves and bandits there, took control of the pagan tribes, and secretly negotiated with Lashi to move the 3,000 herdsmen with more than two males to the north of the Kuma River.
, the vast area north and south of the Manage Lowland"
"The total number of Mongolian herders in the Torgut Khanate is about 50,000. Among them, the headquarters that Lash can control has about 20,000 households, the Durbot tribe has about 15,000 households, and the Keshote tribe has about 10,000 households.
households, and the rest include Nogai, Kazakhs, and Huites, about five thousand households."
"After moving 3,000 households here, it didn't have a big impact on the Lash headquarters, but it helped me a lot."
"Before me, Lash had several boys, but they all died in infancy. Therefore, when I was born, Lash cherished me very much. Regardless of the objections of the tribe elders, he named me Huntai Ji after I was born. In fact,
At this time, although Lashi claimed to be the Great Khan, he was only canonized by the Qing Dynasty and not by the Tsarist Empire."
"When I successfully grew up to ten years old, Lash was naturally even more delighted. Under the auspices of the great lama, he held a formal canonization meeting for me. Therefore, although he was forced to go to Astrakhan as a hostage, he was always
Don’t care about me”
"He once sent several groups of men to sneak into Astrakhan secretly, preparing to take me back to the Manuto Sea, the winter tent of the Turgut people, but they all failed."
"Therefore, when I returned to the king's tent with my own strength, he naturally obeyed me, although I was no longer the same person as before."
"After arriving at this place called Truqin by others, I was ready to fight. The shepherds in the north basically don't need to worry too much, because the Turghuts will also cross Manai in winter.
When it comes to grazing in the lowlands, it’s the farmers who need me to worry about”
"At this time, most people in the North Caucasus were farmers, but although there were only three major tribes on the surface, in fact there were several small tribes in each tribe. Even the religious beliefs of the tribes were different, even if they were the same tribe,
Under the belief, there are different sects”
"In addition, the Ottomans, Russians, and Persians have repeatedly competed here for nearly a hundred years. Naturally, the ability to win over and divide is indispensable. As a result, internal disputes among the various ethnic groups have become more prominent. If it were not for my arrival, four more years would have passed.
