The Torguts’ autumn offensive was a mixed bag.

Fortunately, they defeated the Tatars and Bashkirs who went south near the Manuto Sea, and pursued them northward for hundreds of miles, capturing a large number of people and livestock.

To the east, Huntai Kikitad was even more powerful, defeating the Kazakhs continuously. After the two battles at Taybak and Kulisare, the young men of the Zedur Alliance lost nearly 20,000 people.

Twenty thousand people are already a strain for a nomadic tribe. Since the beginning of the 18th century, the Turguts have followed the Russians in many battles against Sweden, the Ottomans, and Persia. In the past few decades, they have

Twenty thousand people were lost.

Not to mention, in the previous Sharkar ambush battle, the Zhedeur Alliance was ambushed by the Sultan of Zhongyuzbala and the Xiaoyuzi Khitan Alliance Datov, and also lost tens of thousands of people.

Thirty thousand people, even if there are 60,000 households in the Zedur Alliance, their vitality will be severely damaged.

Worryingly, their great khan Tun Roblash was killed by a stray bullet in an encounter.

Lash, who was only in his forties, had presided over the revision of the Oirat Code since he and the Great Khan of Orlak. He was not considered a great Khan who had done nothing, but he died unexpectedly.

This is indeed a great loss.

After learning about Lashi, Kitard asked Techna and Su Wenyu's two brigades to stay in Kulisare, and instructed Techna to send a brigade to occupy Aktobi. For him, since he decided to open up the relationship with Junggar

Human connection, faced with such a good opportunity, will not be easily missed.

What he said to Ivanovich was naturally a lie to deceive him.

For the Russians, even if the Turghuts occupied the Zedur Alliance, it would still be a battle between tribes. Although they were a little angry, they still could not blame a tribe that had made great contributions to the empire.<

/p>

Besides, since Ivanovich got the ten golden statues, he will definitely speak for Kitard.

Besides, since it was he, Ivanovich, who took away the statues of the Kazakh Khans and Zhonggen, rather than the Turguts, ordinary Kazakh herdsmen would think, "It was the Russians who drove the Turghuts."

"Someone did it" idea.

Coupled with Kitard's appropriate policies, as ordinary herders, they would obviously not leave the ranch easily without the call of the nobles.

After finishing these things, he quickly rushed to Manutuohai with his soldiers and Hamuyang's tribal cavalry.

Along the way, he sent Norbu, who had been tested for a long time, to first investigate the cause of Lash's death. When he arrived at the Manutuo Sea, he roughly understood the truth of the matter.

After all, Chu Hu'er is not the real Dazaisang, he is just a high-ranking officer in the Truqin Army. He cannot make everyone listen to him.

But Kitard was different. There were more than a dozen people following Chu Hu'er at that time, and they were investigating in the name of Kitard. Chu Hu'er still kept a close relationship after all.

However, Kitard did not severely punish Chuhu'er, but acquiesced to his statement that "Rashi died from a random gunshot".

But he will not let Chu Huer go.

After holding a grand funeral for Lash, he was buried near the Manutuo Sea, and a thousand Vit Liangka craftsmen were assigned to build his mausoleum.

Chuhu'er and his two thousand cavalry were stationed near the mausoleum by Kitard in the name of "Khan Mausoleum Guard" because they failed to protect the Great Khan.

This is his punishment for Chu Huer.

However, he also built the city of Manuto near the Manuto Sea. Apparently he did not want to repeat the mistakes of Lashi and the previous great khans, and planned to firmly control the area south of Lake Weir and north of the Caspian Sea.

It's in your own hands.

Since the two zaisangs of the headquarters, the eldest zaisang, Baodunge, was his uncle, and the second zaisang, Sanghamuyang, had always been close to him, he accepted the Torgut headquarters smoothly.

Of course, he is not the Great Khan yet, and there are Heshuote Department, Dulbert Department and Zhargu that he needs to face.

According to the usual practice of the Russians, they would not be willing to allow a person like him to succeed the Great Khan. Among other things, Tsebekdorzi, who had always been eyeing the position of Great Khan, hurriedly learned about Lash's death.

He went north to Moscow, exactly like what he would do ten years later after receiving the news of Lash's death.

He is prepared to spend a lot of money to mobilize the top Russian officials so that they can appoint him as the Great Khan.

Let’s not talk about this for now.

In the past, the main headquarters of Torgut was roughly divided into two parts with the Volga River as the boundary, with about 10,000 households each in the north and south. After Lashi defeated Jain, he moved 3,000 households in his tribe to the vicinity of the Manutuo Sea.

Tad didn't let them stay here long.

He asked Hamuyang to take them near Aktobi.

Although they have taken in a hundred warriors from Kazakhstan who were born as civilians, it is still inappropriate not to have any of their own people around them.

He also transferred 2,000 people from the northern part of his headquarters to the vicinity of Kulisare, and then transferred 2,000 people from the south to go north to the vicinity of the Manuto Sea.

These tasks were naturally completed by his uncle Bao Dunge.

Kitard has repeatedly defeated powerful enemies, and even conquered the entire Zedur Alliance in one fell swoop. His prestige has reached its peak in the minds of the Turgut people. These actions of his will not cause much opposition.

of.

When winter came, Kitard transferred Shen Muhua to Elista again to prepare for major construction projects there.

In his plan, the city of Manuto controls the north of the Volga River, the city of Elista controls the south, the city of Stavropol controls the entire North Caucasus, and the city of Akto will control the Khitan Alliance.

In the territory between Bala Sultan and Kulisare, it is enough to control the area near Xiaoyuzi and the Caspian Sea for the time being.

When he frees up his hands, he will build more castles in key locations like the Cossacks and open up a lot of fertile farmland near the castles, but it is not possible yet.

He is not yet a Great Khan, so he can only work hard in the Torgut headquarters.

If you want to obtain the position of Great Khan, you still need to pass it through the Zhargu Conference and report it to St. Petersburg for approval.

Of course, the moment he received the news of Lash's death, he asked Bayar to hide in the caravan heading to the Qing Dynasty, preparing to obtain the canonization of Emperor Qianlong.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

He is not Lashi, and he does not just want to be enthroned as a Khan in the Qing Dynasty. He hopes to get more books and talents through Bayar's negotiation.

At this time, the Qing Dynasty was planning a war to completely annihilate the Junggar people, and they would not oppose his proposal.

Moreover, he went through the caravan instead of passing through the pastures of the Junggar people under official banners like the previous Khans. Naturally, most of them were intercepted by the Junggar people.

Go through the caravan and come back through the caravan. This is the safe way.

Once the Junggar tribe is overthrown, the Tsarist Russian Empire in the north will be the only opponent of the Qing Dynasty. If a tribe close to the Qing Dynasty is left beside the Russians, I believe that the old man Shiquan will not miss it.

While building Manuto City and Elista City, he did not forget to select young men of suitable age from the northern and southern divisions of his headquarters to join the Truqin Army. He planned to recruit 3,000 people from each division and build two new ones.

Travel.

Of course, he could definitely deploy more men and horses, but this is a complete pasture. Without food supply, it is very difficult to support an army of tens of thousands of people.

Including the Qixue army left behind by Lash, there are three brigades.

At the same time, in Xiaoyuzi, although its young people suffered heavy losses, there were still more than 60,000 households. After clearing the intermittent rebellion there in Techina, he built new ones in Aktobi and Kulisare.

Two brigades.

With Lashi's death, he could remarry his sister Dulan in the name of his eldest son. He persuaded Duran to remarry Yamankara, a general who played a decisive role in the Zedur Alliance, and promised that once he accepted

After half a year of training, you can lead a brigade.

Using women to marry is actually the most economical and practical way, and even though Kitard is a time traveler, he is not exempt from this practice.

He could only do this without officially obtaining the title of Great Khan and completely solidifying the Zed-Ur Alliance.

At the same time, he asked Su Wenyu to open up farmland near Aktobi and Kulisare. He originally wanted the local Kazakh herdsmen to abandon herding and turn to farming. However, the time was not ripe at the moment, so he could only let the two

A brigade first settled there.

The land conditions there are average, and you can only grow some alfalfa, rye, etc.

But in order to stabilize the newly accepted territory, such actions must be done.

During his absence, the North Caucasus was calm.

Although he only has four regiments left there, based on the complicated situation around him, four regiments are enough for the time being.

Soon it was the middle of winter, and Kitard finally returned to Vitryanka after running around.

A thorny issue before him now is how to deal with Lash's young ladies.

According to tribal tradition, he could marry them all, but he still held back.

In Vitlyangka's wooden tent, everyone, including Jain, knelt respectfully on the ground to welcome his arrival.

Compared with Lash, who is in his forties, marrying Kitard, who is younger, more handsome, upright, and more talented, is exactly what they want.

Kitard walked over slowly.

"I want to hear your opinions"

I didn't expect that such a sentence would come out of Kitard's mouth.

Jia En's face was full of smiles, but she didn't look sad because her husband had just died. In her opinion, everything was good as an Orthodox Christian, but this marriage was too bad.

I am in the age of a tiger and a wolf, and I cannot live on my lover again.

"I am willing to follow the Great Khan for the rest of my life"

Kitard felt a chill, especially when she thought that he had two sons who were about the same age as herself. Although she was a little unhappy, she thought that there were still six thousand tribes behind her (three thousand of which had been claimed by Zebok).

Erji took it away) and had a good relationship with the Russian upper class, so he nodded.

"What about you?"

He looked at the other two people. They were actually about the same age as him. They were both newly married by Lash after Kitard's mother died, and they all had children.
