In the spring of 1750, two years had passed since the last battle of Alan City, and the battle of Khiva had passed

Go eight months.

It’s spring again.

All Truqin’s new equipment has been installed.

After acquiring 5,000 new recruits, the total number of Truchin Legions now reaches 13,000.

Kitard eliminated a thousand people from them and sent them to Magar City, Kayasura City, Stavropol City, Pytigorska City, and Lagan Town, with one hundred to three people stationed in each place.

Hundreds of people serve as police and judicial forces to take care of local security and justice.

In the past winter, Kitard, together with Su Wenyu and others, consulted the "Oirat Code" revised by Lashi and the "Summary of the Qing Hui Code" left to the Turgut people by Turichen, and compiled the Russian laws.

Compiled Truchin's code.

This code has no name, and it is not as vast and complicated as the Qing Huidian with more than 100 volumes. It is only divided into three volumes, upper, middle and lower, but it also has more than 100,000 words.

Since they can make paper themselves and use engraving technology, the Truchen people can print their own books, which allows schools in the four cities to teach and study conveniently.

This time, he ignored the opinions of Lash and others and pushed forward the Chinese language against all opinions.

He divided the administrative system into two parts, still referring to the method of the Torgut Khanate, which established a large Zaisang to deal with the outside world, a second Zaisang to lead the army, and a third Zaisang to lead the army.

He asked Bayar to take charge of the external affairs, business, and intelligence systems.

Let Su Wenyu take charge of the team's taxation, workshop, income and expenditure, punishment and other matters.

Let Chu Huer be in charge of the army system.

According to the rules of the Khanate, Huntai Ji has its own Zargu (discussing system) and Zaisang. With Kitard setting up this way, Lashi has nothing to say.

Twelve thousand troops, divided into brigades of 3,000 men. Each brigade has two thousand hussars and one thousand dragoons. One thousand of the hussars have six-round muskets in addition to breech-mounted flintlocks and sabers.

A handful.

The remaining thousand hussars still use flintlock muskets

The dragoons also carry artillery, but considering mobility factors, Kitard still mainly uses 100-jin short-barreled artillery, supplemented by a small number of 200-jin artillery.

Now that we have two hundred kilograms of artillery, we need a camel team.

Therefore, according to the rule of one artillery piece for every ten people, there are a total of one hundred artillery pieces, including ten two-hundred-pound cannons with a range of two hundred meters and can fire four-pound solid bullets or equivalent weight shotguns. These are ten camels.

.

With the minigun, you can freely use skirmishers for training.

Of course, due to the rifling and airtightness of the minigun, a musket of the same weight has a longer range and higher accuracy. Even if we continue to use the tactic of queuing to kill, our side will still have a great advantage.

The artillery still maintains the smoothbore form, because the kinetic energy generated by the artillery primer is not comparable to that of the gun. If a rifle is used, the damage to the gun bore will be too great. As a Chitard who is still in the transition stage between the pre-modern industrial and modern industrial eras,

I really can’t afford it.

However, as mentioned before, a 100-jin short-barreled artillery can fire an iron bullet with a diameter of six centimeters, and a 200-jin artillery can fire an iron bullet with a diameter of nearly eight centimeters. If it is used for close range bombardment, it is enough to deal with ordinary obstacles.

.

Of course, it is completely insufficient to attack stone cities like Astrakhan, Orenburg, and Tsaritsyn, so don’t even think about it.

However, at least for now, Kitard has not had this idea. Firepower is inversely proportional to mobility. Under the current conditions, he can only guarantee mobility.

Forty students over the age of 18 were also selected from the students in Magar City to participate in governance in the above four cities as officials at all levels.

All the one thousand soldiers who were eliminated were sent to the workshop in Stavropol, where they will learn various craftsmanship skills under the leadership of old craftsmen.

Of the four Nogai young craftsmen who were taught by Kitard himself, one of them was led by Jeddah to take charge of various workshops in Stavropol, and the remaining two remained in Magar City.

Four brigades were stationed in one city. Kitard personally led a brigade to station in Stavropol City, Chuhuer led a brigade to station in Magar City, Shen Muhua led a brigade to station in Kayasura City, and Techi led a brigade to station in the city of Kayasura.

The first brigade was stationed in the city of Patigoska.

Kitard is also the division commander, Su Wenyu is also the mayor of Stavropol, and the brigade commanders of the other three cities are also the mayors of each city.

There are still only a hundred personal guards around Kitard, and Saren Eji's son Batu, who has been taking care of his mansion, is still the captain of the personal guards.

After more than half a year of training, he selected fifty soldiers each from the Mongols and Armenians in the army who were quick-responsive and proficient in two or more languages ​​to join Bayar's intelligence agency.

The Mongols are led by Norbu, whose younger brother died tragically in the belly of a wolf, while the Armenians are led by Paul, the son of Raphael, the Armenian leader who has now completely surrendered to Truchen.

Paul, the eldest son of Raphael, is only sixteen years old this year and is fluent in Turkic, Caucasian and Persian.

In fact, due to the complexity of production, he currently does not equip all his soldiers with zimini lances. The hussars still use the previous breech-loaded flintlocks. Only the 4,000 dragoons are equipped with the new zimini lances.
p>

The revolver pistols are only equipped with four thousand hussars, the other half of the dragoons, and all the dragoons still use flintlock short muskets.

Therefore, he could only get four thousand more breech-loaded flintlock muskets. He had already given one thousand to Rashim, and the rest were given to Lashi to equip his own standing army, the Qixue Army.

Naturally, he would send people to guide and train the three thousand Qixue Army on how to use these breech-loaded flintlock guns. At the same time, he would also intentionally or unintentionally mingle with the generals and soldiers of the Qierxue Army.

As for the other thousand guns that Rasim needed, they could only be made by the old craftsmen with the thousand soldiers who had just been eliminated from the Truchen Army.

According to the agreement reached between Kitard and Rahim’s old butler Mahamo, two hundred Bukhara silver coins are needed to purchase a musket. One thousand guns is equivalent to two hundred thousand silver coins. This is already Truqin’s largest

If we have a foreign trade project, we naturally need to vigorously guarantee it.

Two hundred thousand silver coins, even if Truchen is expanding rapidly, can still guarantee the needs of all soldiers, officers, craftsmen, priests, doctors, and officials for a year.

He received about 600,000 silver coins from the city of Chimboy. Since he had already spent nearly 100,000 on purchasing wood, grain, etc., under normal circumstances Kitard would not use the remaining 500,000 silver coins.<

/p>

His two wives, Turandot and Abahai, are still studying in school. Before they finally complete their studies, he will not let them completely return to the Hundaiji mansion, and of course he will not let them get pregnant.

Kitard has always been a person who has extremely strict requirements on himself, even ruthless, and he can definitely do this.

After another vigorous spring plowing, good news came from Lagan Port.

He drew the drawings himself, and the ship that purchased a large amount of wood from Azerbaijan is about to be launched!

Kitard was very excited. The ship could only be launched in half a year, which was beyond his expectation.

Although his current need for ships is not very urgent, for future considerations, this step needs to be taken as soon as possible.

He brought his personal guards to Lagan Port,

Since the port was expanded, there used to be only one temple and a market formed around a large tent, but it has now become a small city. In order to deal with pirates and horse thieves, Kitard also posted a hundred security soldiers here, adding more

Taiji up here has been placed under his jurisdiction, and there are ten more cavalry.

The port is not big and can only accommodate ten large ships. There are three 300-pound short-barreled artillery that he had eliminated on the dock. Those security soldiers who have served as soldiers naturally become their users.

These one hundred security soldiers have war horses, flintlock muskets, flintlock muskets, sabers, and artillery. It must be no problem to guard a mere Lagan Port.

With his current strength, he obviously does not have the ability to build ports and shipyards on the seaside. He can only build them on the Lagan River near the Caspian Sea.

The Lagan River near the seaport is almost three hundred meters wide, and the specially dredged port is also ten meters deep. The cement pier is actually more stable than the Astrakhan Port under the jurisdiction of the Russians.
p>

In a specially excavated dock, a large wooden ship is quietly sitting on the land.

The ship is about thirty meters long, six meters wide, and six meters high. It has a pointed nose and a wide tail. There are three masts in the middle, and there are front and rear masts that extend diagonally.

At this time, the ships of the Ottomans and Persians had been deeply influenced by the Europeans, and the Khiva shipwrights were naturally also influenced by the Persians. When Kitard took out the drawing, a man who had been to Istanbul

The Khwarizm craftsmen will understand.

In order to load as many supplies and people as possible, the belly of the ship is an oval shape that is more popular in Europe nowadays.

This kind of ship requires nearly 800 pieces of high-quality wood, plus the extremely precious integral keel. Without counting labor, the cost is as high as 8,000 silver coins, equivalent to 4,000 taels of silver!

This does not include the sails, rigging, pulleys, etc. that have not yet been installed.

According to the calculations of the Qing Dynasty, this kind of ship is at least a thousand tons of materials. According to Chitard's own calculations, it is a ship loaded with more than 500 tons of materials.

An old Khiva shipwright over fifty years old, still wearing a thick turban and a big beard, Amin, who turned out to be a master craftsman of the Manjit people, bent down to greet Kitard and his party.

Amin is actually a Persian who originally lived in the southern shore of the Caspian Sea. During the civil strife in Persia, he was kidnapped by Uzbek cavalry to Khiva. This time he was kidnapped by Kitard to the west shore of the Caspian Sea. However, judging from his expression, he did not seem to have any thoughts.

The sorrow of hometown.

When Kitard kidnapped them, he brought their families with him. In addition, he gave Amin a generous revenge of fifty silver coins per month, which immediately made Amin and others regard the Truqin people as their new masters.

What's more, Kitard also built a mosque for them in Lagan Port. Although it was just a simple wooden temple, Amin and others were very satisfied.

Different from European ships, Kitard designed two stern rudders at the stern. Under the premise of using a pulley organization, only four people are needed for each stern rudder, and a total of eight people are needed to operate the stern rudder.<

/p>

When the stern rudder is activated, even if there is no wind, it can slowly leave the dock like a fish swinging its tail. Even if the power is completely lost, if more people are added, the rudder on the bow can also be used.

Drive slowly with the tail rudder.

Of course, this is almost unnecessary on the Caspian Sea where westerly winds are constant all year round. Coupled with the influence of ocean currents, the Caspian Sea can be sailed almost all year round.

"Huntaiji"

Amin spoke respectfully to Kitard in Mongolian, which he was not proficient in.

"You can go into the water now"
