Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 391 Lotus sends envoys to recruit three sweats (Part )
In the middle of the vast Kazakh steppe, the city of Turkestan stands quietly, not as prosperous as Bukhara, nor as beautiful as Khiva (an old proverb goes: "I would give a bag of gold, but I just want a glimpse of hope"). "tile"), some are just vast and desolate. This is the capital of the Kazakh Khanate and the political center of Central Asia.

Thirty-eight-year-old Yangir Khan still maintains the Mongolian tradition. He does not live in a palace but in a tent, and leisurely sips camel milk in the tent. His body was extremely strong and he was one of the best warriors in the tribe when he was young. He was honored by his subordinates as "The Mighty Yangir Khan". Khan's eyes narrowed, and those who knew him well knew that this was the state when Khan was happy. I am indeed very happy. The envoy who attended the enthronement ceremony of the new Sultan of the Ottoman Turkish Empire has returned, saying that he was treated with great courtesy by the other party.

Five years ago, Yangjier Khan's father Eshmu Khan passed away. According to the rules left by his ancestors, the domestic nobles need to elect a new Khan at the Kurirtai Conference. As a well-known warrior in the tribe and in charge of the powerful Eastern Legion, he was very confident and believed that he was the new Khan. Unexpectedly, he did not get the support of most nobles. They recommended several candidates to stand against the young him.

How can I bear this? The Kuril Terrace Conference was just a formality, but the noble gentlemen actually took it seriously! Therefore, Yangjier Khan used the powerful Eastern Legion in his hands to subdue the Central Legion and the nobles from various places, sent those candidates back to the embrace of Changshengtian, and named himself Khan. Although the emperor is a man with strong soldiers and horses, he violates tradition and does not go through the election of the Kuriltai Assembly, which makes him worry about improper access to the throne. In order to suppress the opposition forces, troops loyal to him had to be stationed in various places, leaving the capital city of Turkestan with only 3,000 defenders.

In order to secure his position as Khan, he engaged in large-scale diplomacy. While subduing his two younger brothers, Bukhara and Khiva, he also focused on making good relations with the Ottoman Turkish Empire (Rumi State), the Crimean Khanate, and the Safavid Dynasty of Persia. relation. Among the next three countries, Crimea and Kazakhstan were both countries founded by the descendants of Genghis Khan's eldest son Jochi. They have the same culture and race and have the best relationship. However, the most powerful one is not the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the suzerain of the Crimean Khanate. After all, it was a powerful empire spanning Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Because everyone believed in "Allah", and with the support of common beliefs, Yangir Khan's diplomacy was done very well, and he received widespread support from various countries, and his position became much more stable. A few days ago, Sultan Ibrahim I of Ottoman Turkey died. Queen Mother Kosem supported the young Mohammed IV to succeed to the throne. He immediately sent envoys to attend the succession ceremony of the new Sultan.

The envoy was not only treated with great courtesy by the other party, but also brought a letter written to him by the new Sultan. The letter praised him as: "The incarnation of justice and noble spirit, the flag bearer of the flag of friendship and peace, and the guardian of the borders of Ye Silan World"; it also said that the friendship between the two countries is just as the "Hadith" said, "Emotions are like warriors in the array. , becoming more intimate and stable with mutual communication"; I hope that the two countries will carry out more exchanges, communication and interaction; Finally, the new Khan personally put a robe on the envoy, in the tradition of the Kazakhs In Chinese culture, putting a robe on a guest means showing a high degree of respect.

Yangir Khan was very happy to hear the envoy's report, which showed that Kazakhstan still had the friendship of the powerful Ottoman Turkey in diplomacy. In the five years since he succeeded to the throne, he has been quietly accumulating the strength of the Khanate, especially developing the military strength of the Khanate, hoping that one day he can restore the glory of his ancestors.

In fact, in Central Asia, the Kazakh Khanate has always been one of the largest powers. According to statistics from some scholars, the total population remained between 1513 million and 1720 million from 130 to 180. According to Mongolian tradition, "five people and one soldier or three people" "One soldier", the total number of troops that the country can dispatch is as high as more than . If they can really be integrated, world hegemony will not be a dream! It is a pity that it is now divided into Karasek, Adayi, Tielwu, Alash and Alqin in the Xiaoyuzi area; Naiman, Qinchak, Hongjira, Kelei, Arhun and Wak in the Central Yuzi area. , Merqi, Kelei; Zha Layier, Dugrat, Kangli, Alban, Suwan, Jurkelie and other tribes in the Dayuzi area are difficult to form a joint force.

As descendants of Genghis Khan, all Kazakh Khans were brave and adept at fighting, and they almost unified Central Asia. Fifty years ago, the invincible Tavukli Khan died of injuries during the "Siege of Bukhara", becoming the fifth khan of the Khanate to die in battle. His unexpected death gave the Bukhara Khanate, which was about to be destroyed, a breathing space. When the main force of the army was completely lost and the northern territory and many large cities fell, in order to avoid the fate of the country, Imam Khoury of Bukhara Khan sent an envoy to the city of Samarkand to request surrender. Eshmu Khan, the younger brother of Tavukele Khan and the father of Yangir, had just ascended the throne of Khan at this time and reluctantly agreed, and the two sides signed the famous "Treaty of Samarkand". According to the peace treaty, the entire territory of Hezhong and the Tashkent area were merged into Kazakhstan. Bukhara paid war indemnities and became a vassal of Kazakhstan.

His father, Eshmuhan, was also a war god. As soon as he succeeded to the throne, he repulsed the Tsarist Cossack army that went south, and jointly carved up the Siberian Khanate with Tsarist Russia. Then he defeated the invading Oirat Mongol coalition many times, and once forced the Oirat people to retreat to the Kuobksara grassland; in 1613, in Defeated the Bukhara-Afghan coalition forces under the city of Samarkand; in 1616, he again defeated the Oirat coalition forces that invaded the Irtysh River Basin of the Kazakh Khanate; in order to subdue the Oirat Alliance that was about to move, he fought against the Oirat tribes in consecutive years from 1619 to 1624 , and in 1621, together with the Khalkha Mongolian god of war Shuolei Ubas, they attacked the Oirat Alliance from both sides, which aggravated the internal conflicts of the alliance, and eventually led to the Torgut tribe, which was oppressed by the Junggar tribe, to use the western route of the Kazakh Khanate. Moved to the Volga River Basin; in the spring of 1624, the commander's army attacked the Bukhara Khanate and won a decisive victory on the Fergana battlefield. He once again forced Imam Quli Khan to surrender and sign the "New Treaty of Bukhara".

The long-term war depleted Kazakhstan's national power, and his father, who was superstitious about force, became comatose in his later years, which eventually led to civil strife in the country and a great decline in national power. Now that he has inherited the throne, he originally wanted to reform and revitalize, but because he was not elected by the Kuriltai Congress, his name was not justified and he had to fight against various opposition forces. After five years of hard work, the Khan's position has become much more stable, and with the support of neighboring countries such as Ottoman Turkey, it seems that he can flex his muscles.

While he was drinking camel milk and thinking comfortably, his subordinates came to report, "Great Khan, your sworn brother Mamedale Ubash wants to see you." When Yangir Khan first came to the throne, there was internal instability, and Tsarist Russia was still eyeing him. He worshiped Dataiji Kundu Lun Ubas of the Heshuo Special Department who was stationed in the Qihe Basin as his adoptive father, and together with Kundu Lun Ubas, he Bash's sons are like brothers. Mamadale Ubashi was the eldest son of Kundulun Ubashi. He was a few years older than him, so he was naturally regarded as an adopted brother.

"Why is he here?" Yang Gilhan frowned and said slowly, "Let him enter the account."
