Chapter 596: The envoy is angry and the enemy chief is killed
Zhao Zhiyong, led by Azamu, came to the king's account of the Kazakh tribe.
Kasa Khan, who came to power with the support of the Great China Empire, led his tribe's nobles to stand in the wind and snow, and welcomed the envoys of the Heavenly Kingdom with solemn etiquette.
When Zhao Zhiyong saw Kasar Khan in the wind and snow, he walked forward quickly and asked angrily: "Kasar Khan, why have you been hiding from me these days.
You have to know who you are because of to get this position.
If you don’t want to be a great Khan, there are many people in your tribe who want to be a great Khan.”
Kasa Khan immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down, the wind and snow are too heavy this year, I am going to the west to investigate the damage.
After receiving the news of the envoy's arrival, he immediately rushed back in the wind and snow.
After a slight delay, I felt deeply frightened.
I have laid down the banquet and am waiting for the envoy to take his seat.
If China needs our cooperation, our tribe will definitely cooperate."
Zhao Zhiyong saw that Kasa Khan had a very low profile and looked aloof, but he was not angry yet.
His previous plan was to make Kasa Khan fall out first, so that he could take advantage of the situation to deal with the Kazakh tribe.
If he strikes preemptively, he may cause trouble for the military.
Zhao Zhiyong did not expect that a person with such a reckless background as Kasa Khan could be so tolerant.
With a groveling look on his face, Kasa Khan led the heavenly envoy to approach the king's tent.
It is very warm here, and there are maids carrying roast lamb, kumiss and other traditional delicacies on the grassland, waiting for the guests to take their seats.
The nobles of the Kazakh tribe all admired the performance of the Khan.
The sweat can bend and stretch, and show a heroic posture. You will definitely lead the tribe to a further step.
They broke away from tribal alliances and became a powerful nation.
After Zhao Zhiyong took his seat, he accepted frequent toasts from Kasa Khan and Kazakh tribal nobles.
However, he did not drink a glass of wine, and the deputy envoy and those accompanying him did not touch the dishes on the table.
Kasa Khan saw this situation, he toasted a glass of wine and said: "Envoy, did we not entertain you well?"
Zhao Zhiyong said in a calm tone: "Let's talk about the matter first. After the matter is settled, I will definitely have a drink with the Khan."
Kasa Khan originally wanted to have a good drink with the envoy, but after becoming familiar with him, it was easier for him to ask for something.
He has been doing business with the wise Guzel in the past two days. Under the coercion of Russia, the Celestial Kingdom should mobilize every ounce of its strength.
There are so many warriors from the Kazakh tribe, and the Heavenly Kingdom will never miss these cannon fodder.
They asked for some muskets and artillery, and China would probably agree.
As long as the tribal warriors are equipped with firearms, their combat effectiveness will be improved.
They can swing between Dahua and Russia. Once the situation changes and their strength is needed, they can sell it at a good price.
Kasa Khan saw that the envoy was a relatively calm person. It was useless to build relationships with such people. He could only talk openly and honestly.
He raised a glass of wine again and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, our tribe also knows that the Russian Cossack cavalry is moving troops in this direction.
More than 10,000 Russian Cossack cavalry have been stationed on the western border of Kazakhstan.
Russia's goal has been determined, which is to conquer China.
Our Kazakh tribe will always follow the Celestial Kingdom and will not fall to Russia.
But with the ability of our tribe, we cannot resist the attack of the Russian Cossack cavalry.
Our tribe hopes that the Heavenly Kingdom can provide us with some supplies and weapons."
When Zhao Zhiyong heard Kasa Khan say this, a cold look flashed in his eyes.
Kasa Khan knew so clearly that he must have had contact with Russia.
Russia's attack on the Tumfu-Balkhash Lake defense line must pass through the area of the Kazakh tribe.
Russia has only two options, drive out the Kazakh tribes or use the passage.
Driving out the Kazakh tribes is an option that Russia will only take action when war is about to begin.
Russia is also afraid of alerting the enemy and allowing the Chinese Empire to prepare for war in advance.
After all, the border between the two countries is too long. As long as Russia does not mobilize its troops, the Chinese Empire can only rely on guesswork and cannot determine Russia's main attack direction.
The best way for Russia is to take advantage of the passage and at the same time hide it from the Chinese Empire so that they can get the chance to launch a surprise attack.
Zhao Zhiyong believed that Kasa Khan did not understand the current war. He should not have said that Russia had already stationed 10,000 Cossack cavalry on the border of the Kazakh tribe.
Russia's choice is very abnormal, and the Kazakh tribe's choice is even more abnormal.
Ten thousand Cossack cavalry is already a danger to the Kazakh tribe that can lead to the tribe's extinction.
Kasa Khan acted too relaxed, as if he knew that Russia would not launch troops against the Kazakh tribe.
Zhao Zhiyong looked at the other nobles of the Kazakh tribe. Their performance was also very dull. They should all know the news.
These are just his guesses, Zhao Zhiyong is ready to test them.
"Kasar Khan, the empire has always been very generous to its allies.
As long as the Kazakh tribe can agree to the empire's conditions, supplies and weapons will continue to be sent over."
Kasa Khan was very excited when he heard that the envoy agreed to his request. The rise of the Kazakh tribe was in sight.
He will become a famous hero in Central Asia.
Kasa Khan toasted another glass of kumiss and asked: "Your Majesty, what are the conditions of the Celestial Empire? Our tribe will obey the Celestial Empire and will definitely agree to the conditions of the Celestial Empire."
Zhao Zhiyong said with a serious expression: "The Great Khan also knew that there were some conflicts between the empire and Russia.
The empire wants to know in which direction the main Russian force is?
You Kazakh tribe, send a cavalry to test whether the Cossack cavalry around you is the main force of Russia.
The empire will provide you with a large amount of supplies based on your efforts."
When Kasa Khan heard Zhao Zhiyong's request, his face changed drastically and he stumbled for a long time without saying a word.
When he was talking to the wise Guzel, because the worst-case scenario was that the empire would let the Kazakh tribe be used as cannon fodder.
The current situation is no longer to let them be cannon fodder, but to let them die.
Kasa Khan frequently looked at the wise Guzel.
Other nobles of the Kazakh tribe also repeatedly looked between the Khan and the envoy.
The wise man Guzel immediately stood up and rebuked loudly: "Impossible, our tribe is not a slave of the heaven.
The Heavenly Kingdom is asking us to die, and our tribe will never agree."
When Zhao Zhiyong saw the performance of the Kazakh tribe, he knew that the Kazakh tribe had made contact with the Russians and learned about the strength of the Russian Kazakh cavalry near them.
Normally, the Kazakh tribes served as tributaries of the empire.
When they receive such an obviously impossible task, they will not refuse it outright.
Instead, send a team of cavalry to test the situation first, and then find reasons to refuse.
Zhao Zhiyong already had sufficient reasons to believe that the Kazakh tribe was alienated from the empire.
He coughed twice to signal to his teammates.
Zhao Zhiyong immediately took out his loaded revolver and shot Kasa Khan in the head.
Kasa Khan's head was like a watermelon that had been hit hard.
He stared in disbelief and fell on the chair.
Until his death, he could never imagine that he would be directly killed in his own king's tent.
Zhao Zhiyong's second shot killed Guzel, who was obviously Kasa Khan's confidant.
Only after two shots were fired did the other nobles of the Kazakh tribe react.
Some people immediately lay down under the table, and some shouted for the soldiers to come in.
Kozhe was sitting next to Kasa Khan. He was splattered with blood and was frightened to death. He sat on the chair in a daze.
The deputy envoy and others also reacted. They took out their pistols and pointed them at the Kazakh nobles in the royal tent.
Zhao Zhiyong saw Azamu leading troops into the king's tent. He pointed his gun at Azamu and shouted: "I am the envoy of the Great China Empire. If you dare to touch me, the Kazakh tribe will be annihilated."
When Azamu heard what Zhao Zhiyong said, he was already ready to capture Zhao Zhiyong and immediately stopped the soldiers from continuing to act.
When Zhao Zhiyong saw the reaction of the Kazakh tribe, he immediately smiled. The empire's deterrent was still very strong, and things would not go to the worst direction.
He had anticipated all the consequences before taking action.
The worst outcome was that they were cut into pieces by the angry Kazakh tribe.
This result really happened. He used his small life to guide the empire to eliminate the hidden danger of the Kazakh tribe and clear the way for the next war. It was also a gain in death.
The most optimistic scenario is that the Kazakh tribes are afraid of the empire and dare not really take action against them.
The current development of the situation is leaning towards the most optimistic scenario.
Kozhe, a noble of the Kazakh tribe, quickly regained his consciousness. When he saw the Great Khan being beaten to death by his superior, he immediately realized that this was his opportunity.
Kezhe stood up and said: "Azamu, take the people and retreat.
This guy Kasa was flirting with the Russians, and everyone in the tribe was aware of it.
He wants to lead the tribe to destruction and is not worthy of becoming our Great Khan."
Zhao Zhiyong smiled even more when he saw the nobles of the Kazakh tribe standing up to maintain order.
He looked at the man and asked, "What's your name?"
Kozhe replied in fluent Chinese: "Your Majesty, my name is Kozhe, Jiknur Kozhe."
Zhao Zhiyong walked over, patted Ke Zhe on the shoulder and said: "The empire supports you in becoming the new khan of the Kazakh tribe. You should first deal with the chaos in the tribe."
Kozhe was very excited. With the support of the Great China Empire, his status as the Great Khan would be very stable.
He had looked down on Casa's approach before. They were a small force that couldn't even be considered a country.
It can only survive by relying on the surrounding big countries. It is too dangerous to repeatedly jump between two big countries.
As long as a certain big country is displeased, the tribe will face disaster.
Kozhe immediately assured: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that our Kazakh tribe will definitely serve the empire and will never turn to the feuding Russia."
After Kozhe finished speaking, he scolded Azamu: "Azamu, what are you doing? Put down the gun quickly and drag these two corpses down to Ben Khan."
Azamu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.
"Greetings to the Great Khan, why are you standing there in a daze? Listen to the Great Khan's instructions."
When other nobles of the Kazakh tribe saw this happening, they immediately crawled out from under the table and paid homage to the new Khan.
When Zhao Zhiyong left the king's tent, he heard shouts of death coming from behind.
This is the new Kozhe Khan cleaning out Kasa Khan's confidants.
Every change of Khan position on the grassland is a disaster of life and death for many people.
The chaos in the Kazakh tribe lasted for three days before Kozhe Khan cleaned up all the forces and took complete control of the tribe's situation.
Zhao Zhiyong immediately took people with him and continued to discuss with Kezhehan the matters that had not been completed in the previous few days.
As a newly appointed Great Khan, Ke Zehan did not have a deep background and had to rely on the empire to maintain the stability of his position.
The Kazakh tribe saw how tough the envoy was, and Kezehan knew that he would not agree to the empire's conditions, and the empire could always replace him with a more obedient khan.
In a very low profile, he agreed to the harsh conditions proposed by Zhao Zhiyong.
The imperial army will be stationed in the Kazakh tribes to help them resist the Russian attack.
The empire dispatched officers to train the cavalry of the Kazakh tribe.
Dozens of clauses directly transformed the Kazakh tribe into servants, and they completely lost their autonomy.
Zhao Zhiyong asked the deputy envoy to return to Tumufu to deploy troops to the Kazakh tribe, and he personally stayed in the Kazakh tribe to take charge.
…………………………
The Royal Army of Great China is in the Ili Governor's Mansion and the Tumu Mansion Camp.
Zhang Wansi walked into the camp with her head held high and her chest held high.
"Reporting to Commander Wu and Chief of Staff Qu, our first division successfully entered the Kazakh tribe.
The defense line has moved forward more than 300 kilometers, requiring the large battalion to transport supplies to our army in a timely manner."
Zhang Wansi never thought that Zhao Zhiyong could handle things so efficiently.
He directly went to the home base of the Kazakh tribe and shot the Great Khan to death, forcing the Kazakh tribe to completely lead to the empire.
What tens of thousands of cavalrymen might not be able to do was easily accomplished by Zhao Zhiyong alone.
Fu Xiucheng said angrily: "How could Zhao Zhiyong do this and directly kill the leader of his main ally?
Central Asia is not just a tribe of Kazakhs. Will there be any tribes that will ally with us in the future?
Does he know that doing this will cause great harm to the empire?
The great khans of other tribes will definitely turn to the Russians in order to survive.
Our army is not very familiar with the Central Asian region. If we want to completely annihilate the Russians, without the cooperation of the local tribes, the difficulty will increase sharply.
If Zhao Zhiyong does this, how will the imperial court view our Ili Governor's Mansion?"
Zhang Wansi immediately retorted: "What Staff Zhao did is so outstanding, it gave us a chance to win the war in advance.
Now the Kazakh tribal cavalry is all under the control of the empire.
We can use these people however we want.
With the cooperation that Staff Officer Fu said before, they are now able to exceed their expectations.
Things are going so well, why is Staff Fu still not satisfied?"
Cai Gong Wu Jie saw the two quarreling again. He knew that it was a dispute between the infantry and the cavalry.
They had promised before that based on the results of the Kazakh tribe, they would decide whether to use the plan provided by infantry or cavalry.
Now the cavalry has clearly won the victory. Cai Gong and Wu Jie were from the Fourth Army, so he could not favor the infantry.
Cai Gong Wu Jie ordered: "I will personally report this matter to Your Majesty.
Based on the news discovered by the Kazakh tribe, the northwest battlefield will adopt a proactive approach, with each cavalry division responsible for the main attack, and the Fourth Army and the 19th Army will cooperate with the cavalry divisions."
Zhang Wansi couldn't hide the smile on his face when he saw the cavalry division's final victory.
Commander Wu once stated that the direction of the northwest battlefield will be mainly offensive, and he will not change it again.
Their cavalry division will be the protagonist of this war.
Fu Xiucheng was like an eggplant beaten by frost. The Central Asian prairie was indeed more suitable for cavalry division operations, but he was really unwilling to do so.
However, he could only salute the army together with Zhang Wansi and said: "I humble my position and obey orders."
