Faced with China's expansion in Siberia, Russia has no way to organize it.
Sending two to three hundred regular troops to garrison Yeniseisk was already the limit of Tsarist Russia's military power projection. In order to compromise with the aristocratic landowners, the Tsar could not open immigration and had to rely on the peasants to escape on their own.
At the same time, the news that the Cossacks were defeated by China one after another had long spread to all parts of Tsarist Russia. The Chinese were described as man-eating demons, and they were also good at witchcraft. They could fly into the sky and throw explosive bombs. Even the brave Cossacks could not
resistance.
Fear was spreading, and the serfs fled and became Cossacks. They did not dare to run further to Central Siberia, but headed for the upper reaches of the Volga River.
At the same time, Tsarist Russia's losses in the Far East urgently needed to be replenished through other means. As a result, the living environment of serfs and Cossacks became increasingly difficult. In addition, the Tsar issued copper coins, and uprisings broke out everywhere in cities and villages.
The more uprisings occur, the more taxes must be raised to quell the uprisings!
The Racine Peasants' Revolt broke out two years in advance.
Stepan Razin came from a wealthy Cossack family. He once served as the leader of the Cossack army and negotiated with the Tsar on behalf of the Don Cossacks.
Four years ago, Rasin formed an alliance with the Torgut tribe, and the two parties agreed to jointly deal with the Crimean Mongols and Nogai people. Then he led the Cossack army, combined with the Torgut tribe, to attack Crimea and the Ottomans.
Go on an expedition and win.
Tsarist Russia's exploitation of the people at the bottom caused a large number of serfs to flee to the Don River, and the strength of the Don Cossacks expanded rapidly.
Following the escaped serfs came the army of Tsarist Russian nobles. They arrested Cossacks everywhere, and when they were caught, they said they were runaway slaves, and occupied the land cultivated by the Cossacks. Even those relatively wealthy Cossack families who had reproduced for two or three generations,
They were all denounced as serfs and arrested.
Stepan Razin couldn't bear it anymore and finally led the people to revolt!
Not only did he revolt himself, he also contacted the Torgut tribe on the east bank of the lower Volga River and the Bashkirs in the middle reaches of the Volga River.
The Bashkirs live between the middle reaches of the Volga River and the remaining mountains of the Ural Mountains. They have accepted the rule of Tsarist Russia more than a hundred years ago, and an uprising breaks out every thirty years. It is equivalent to saying that the previous generation was suppressed.
, the next generation will continue to revolt when they grow up, because they will not be able to survive without rebellion.
Racine led the Don Cossacks to march eastward and met with the Torgut tribe in Astrakhan.
Astrakhan is located at the mouth of the Volga River where it meets the Caspian Sea. It is an important military town and an important trade town. The city does not have a bastion, but it is a fortress in itself, with a total of seven solid towers.
Racine came from the west, and Torgut's troops came from the east, surrounding the Tsarist Russian fortress.
The serfs in the villages around the city were all released as free men. The landlords' houses were burned down, and the slow landlords were all beheaded without discussion.
"What should I do if I can't defeat it?" Racine asked.
Shukur Daiqing said: "Besiege the city and fight for reinforcements. The enemies of Tsaritsyn (Volgograd) may come to rescue."
Shukuer Daiqing is the leader of the Torgut tribe and Ayuqi's grandfather.
Razin shook his head and said: "The Bashkirs are revolting further upstream, and Tsaritsyn's enemies have too much to worry about and will not send troops to rescue this place."
…
The uprising coalition forces besieged the city for many days and organized several attacks, but they were all blocked by strong fortresses.
At this time, the Bashkir rebel army, unable to capture Tsaritsyn, also came south to join forces here.
The three teams came together, and the style was extremely strange.
The Don Cossacks led by Racine were all Slavs who believed in the Orthodox Church.
The troops led by Shukuer Daiqing were all Oara Mongols who believed in Buddhism - not only the Torgut tribe, but also a small number of the Durbot tribe and the Heshuote tribe who moved westward together.
The Bashkir rebels are all Turks who believe in the Green Religion.
Three races and three major faiths achieved great national and religious unity under the oppression of Tsarist Russia.
But it was useless. Facing the solid fortress, they could only stare there. Among the three teams, only the Don Cossacks had more than ten small cannons, which hit the walls of the fortress like scratching an itch.
"If we continue fighting like this, we won't be able to defeat it even if we fight for a hundred years!" Shukuer Daiqing couldn't help but say.
Muhad, the leader of the Bashkir rebel army, said: "We should move upstream, bypass Tsaritsyn (Volgograd) and fight all the way upstream!"
Shukuer Daiqing shook his head: "We are not interested in the upper reaches. We just want to tear down this Russian castle."
Rahim said: "Then you continue to besiege the city and prevent the enemies in the city from coming out. Muhad and I will march upstream together."
This is always the case with the coalition forces. Although they are all revolting, their demands are fundamentally different.
The Mongols just wanted to expand in the lower reaches of the Volga River and remove the spikes (fortresses) stuck in their throats.
The Don Cossacks and Bashkirs resisted the oppression of Tsarist Russia. They planned to march all the way upstream, even approaching Moscow, to force the Tsar to improve their treatment.
Racine, in particular, had a very simple idea: His Majesty the Tsar must be a good person, and those nobles and landowners are the bad guys. All the sufferings of the Don Cossacks were caused by the nobles, officials, and landowners, and the great Tsar was deceived.
"Da da da da..."
A cavalry force came from the east. The three leaders were startled and ran back to their respective teams to prepare for battle.
Ayuqi rode at the forefront and entered the Mongolian camp: "Grandfather, father, I'm back!"
"It's good to be back!" his father Punchuk said happily.
Grandfather Shukuer Daiqing asked: "Are those Han troops?"
Ayuqi explained: "I went to Nanjing to meet with the Han emperor. The Han emperor was very happy and presented us with a thousand muskets and some ammunition, as well as many grain seeds for new crops. In addition, the emperor sent an envoy to enshrine my grandfather.
King Turgut."
"Really?" Shukuer Daiqing said in surprise.
There were three Oara Mongolian tribes that moved westward. The Torgut tribe had the largest number of people. The Durbot tribe and the Heshuote tribe still maintained their independence. The unification of the tribes was completed after Ayuqi succeeded to the throne. The reason is still
Ayuqi's father was murdered by the leader of the Heshuo Special Tribe.
If the Chinese emperor canonizes the king, and it is also the king of Torgut, Shukuer Daiqing will have enough reason to annex the other two.
Shukuer Daiqing took his son and grandson out to greet him with great joy, and the leaders of the other two tribes also came after hearing the news.
…
The leaders of the three tribes all knelt down to greet him. Xie Yuan did not say any nonsense and directly read out the canonization edict.
Just when the gold seal and documents were being handed over, Abalai, the leader of the Heshuote tribe, suddenly said: "Wait a minute, I don't agree!"
Xie Yuan understood the situation instantly. Both he and the emperor had been deceived.
This kid Ayuqi hides his head and hides his tail. Although he did not lie, he kept misleading the emperor, making his family control all the tribes. Ayuqi did not mention the existence of the Dulbert tribe and the Heshuote tribe, otherwise the gold seal would definitely be
"King of Turgut" will not be engraved.
Shukuer Daiqing turned around and asked, "What qualifications do you have to disagree?"
Abalai said: "First, the three of us moved westward. Even if the Han emperor wanted to found a country and grant him the title of king, the name of the country could not be called the Torgut Kingdom. Second, after the founding of the country, why was it the leader of the Torgut Tribe who made the decision?
King? What should we do with our Heshuote and Dulbert tribes?”
Shukuer Daiqing said: "We, the Torgut tribe, have many people and are the strongest. Of course we should be the kings!"
Alabjuer, the leader of the Durbot tribe, also said: "I support Abalai. It is okay to establish a country, but the country's name needs to be changed. It is also okay to be crowned a king. Who should be the king should be discussed jointly by the three tribes. Otherwise, I will take the tribe with me.
People, just go and join the Russians!"
"Um?"
Xie Yuan's eyes showed a fierce look. He originally wanted to resolve the matter peacefully, but someone said something he shouldn't have said.
Xie Yuan asked: "Do you want to defect to the Russians?"
Alabjuer also felt that he had made a mistake and changed his words: "I was just making a metaphor, and I didn't really want to join the enemy."
Xie Yuan continued to question: "You don't obey His Majesty's imperial edict?"
Alabjuer said: "There is something wrong with this imperial edict. We should ask the Han emperor to send another one."
Xie Yuan put his right hand behind his back and made a cutting gesture.
Deputy envoy Pang Anguo and cavalry general Sun Ruotao immediately understood what was meant and both drew their swords and charged forward.
Pang Anguo slashed at the nearest Alabalay, and Sun Ruotao slashed at the nearest Alabjuer. They suddenly started killing each other, and neither target could react, so they struggled and fell in a daze.
Punchuk was so dumbfounded that he didn't dare to move.
But his father and son reacted instantly and each drew their swords and slashed at the deceased's entourage.
Shukuer Daiqing killed the two men and said to his children and grandchildren while he was doing it: "Pengchuk, lead your troops to the camp of the Dulbert tribe. Ayuqi, lead your troops to the camp of the Heshuote tribe. Don't leave anything behind."
In the time it takes for them to react, all the disobedient leaders will be killed!"
In a sudden melee, more than two hundred people were killed.
This farce finally ended, and the Oara Mongols officially established their country on the banks of the Volga River and the Caspian Sea. The Chinese called the leader King Torgut, and they themselves were called the Great Khans.
Xie Yuan and others were invited to inspect the Russian castle and were speechless on the spot.
This city was originally the palace of the Great Khan of the Golden Horde, and people came here to visit every autumn. At the same time, it was also a commercial center node for Indian and Persian goods to be shipped to Moscow.
Russia occupied the city for a hundred years and built a fortress across the river from the city, which was called the Kremlin (meaning tall and solid fortress).
There are only a few hundred troops stationed in the fortress, but they are enough to withstand any enemy.
There are not many Slavic immigrants. Businessmen and citizens all live in the city area on the other side of the river, which was emptied by the rebels a few days ago.
There were a small number of large landowners in the suburbs. Some were Russian landowners and some were local landowners, but they all practiced serfdom, and all the landowners who had no time to escape were killed.
"Do you have any way to defeat it?" Xie Yuan asked the cavalry general Sun Ruotao.
Sun Ruotao shook his head: "We have to besiege the city until the city runs out of food. Unless we use heavy artillery to bombard the city wall completely."
Shukuer Daiqing gritted his teeth and said, "Then surround him and kill him!"
Anyway, there are two other rebel armies. Even if the Tsar sends troops to quell the rebellion, the two friendly armies can last for a year and a half. Such a long time is enough to starve the enemies in the city to death.
