Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 97 Yang Gilhan recognizes his adoptive father

There is a fertile grassland near Kashiluk of the Kazakh Khanate, where the Kundulun Ubas Dataji of the Heshuote tribe is stationed as herdsman. He was driven here. During the Heshuote civil war, he joined the Noer Guards to conquer Chukul. He was defeated miserably and fled here in panic like a lost dog.

Unexpectedly, this vast grassland was a blessing in disguise. This place is located on the east side of Lake Balkhash and belongs to the Seven Rivers Basin (seven rivers flowing into Lake Balkhash). The land is fertile and the water and grass are luxuriant. With this foothold, Kundulun Ubas's tribes and livestock gradually increased, and their strength began to grow stronger. Gradually, they began to have the ambition to dominate Oirat.

However, this ambition shrinks just as quickly as it expands.

Since the death of the second brother, Bagas Khan, the fourth brother, Tulubaihu, has taken charge of the horse whip of the Heshuote tribe, making the entire tribe prosperous again, which is impossible; Batur and Daletesh of Dulbert's department are all very powerful. If they don't attack themselves, they have already planned to do it. How can they succeed?
Therefore, his ambition quickly shrank to separatist control of the Seven Rivers Basin and becoming a small overlord was enough! However, it still faces threats from the Dulbert tribe and the Junggar tribe. In order to keep this territory, they had to form a good alliance with the Torgut tribe and the Kazakh Khanate behind them.

A few days ago, he received a letter from Oirat leader and national advisor Khan Tulubaihu. In the letter, the Great Khan affectionately called him "Third Brother" and asked him to send troops to the snowy areas to protect the religion.

This "third brother" made the elderly Kundulun Ubas burst into tears. Fourth brother, fourth brother, when we were brothers fighting a civil war, my second brother died, and I escaped. You became the khan of Oirat, completely forgetting that we are brothers from the same father and mother, born from the same mother’s womb!
Boil beans and burn bean sprouts,
Bean weeps in the cauldron.

Originally grown from the same root,
Why is it too anxious?

As a politician, Kundulun Ubas naturally knew Tulubaihu's intention to call himself "Third Brother" again at this time. After the civil war, the Heshuote tribe weakened, but the Junggar tribe and the Huite tribe took the opportunity to become stronger. The fourth brother wanted to unite all the forces of the Heshuote tribe to suppress these two tribes; in addition, the fourth brother wanted to march into the snowy region to obtain more for the tribe. He had too much territory, and he was afraid that he would be held back, so he wrote books to show his favor.

However, he also wanted to use the power of the Heshuote Tribe to resist the invasion of the Junggar Tribe and the Dulbert Tribe. He still wanted to accept the olive branch extended by his fourth brother, so he ordered his four sons to be summoned to discuss sending troops.

"Dataiji, everyone is here except Ekchotbutaiji."

"Hmph, this kid is just playful." Kundulun Ubashi angrily walked out of the sleeping tent and headed for the big tent.

In the big tent, the eldest son Mamadale Ubas, the second son Ubas Hutaiji, and the third son Dorji were all there, but the youngest son Ekchotbu was not seen.

"Eh, pray for Ge!" The three sons hurriedly saluted their old father.

"Well, everyone, sit down. I have called you here today to discuss sending troops to the snowy region. Your fourth uncle has given me a letter," Kundulun Ubashi said majestically.

In fact, there was nothing to discuss. In the tribe, he was the absolute authority. He quickly made a decision that the third son, Dorji, would lead a thousand cavalry with him.

"Eqi Ge~Eqi Ge~" While they were discussing something, their fourth son, Ekchuotebu, stumbled into the tent.

"You brat, you don't have any rules at all! How can you be so reckless?" Kundulun Ubashi yelled angrily. Okchotbu calmed down and said: "Yangir Khan of Kazakhstan is here."

Historically, the Kazakh Khanate was a powerful country with a population of over one million, occupying the seven river basins. The Khanate is divided into three parts: Dayuzi (big account), Zhongyuzi (middle account), and Xiaoyuzi (small account). This place belongs to Dayuzi. Later, the Durbots invaded Dayuzi, and many tribal leaders in the Seven Rivers Basin surrendered to the Durbots. However, Zhongyuzi in the central highlands of Kazakhstan and Xiaoyuzi from the Ural River to the Caspian Sea were in the "Kazakh Tigers". ”, “The tall and burly Barter” was unified under the iron fist of Eshmu Khan.

What the Great Khan never forgot was to regain the Seven Rivers Basin, and for this purpose he repeatedly attacked the Oirat tribe that occupied the Seven Rivers Basin. However, poor governance led to civil war and weakened the country's strength. After the civil strife was put down, Eshimu Khan handed over the power to his eldest son Yangjier due to illness and regret.

A few years ago, Eshmu Khan passed away, and it was supposed that Yangir Khan should succeed him. However, according to Kazakh tradition, the Great Khan was not appointed by the previous Khan, but by the chiefs, sultans, army leaders, Bi (chief chiefs) of each tribe. Recommended by the Chief Justice) and other dignitaries. The young eldest son did not have enough prestige and was not selected. It didn't matter, he held the elite "Eastern Legion" of the Khanate in his hands. With the support of the army, he became the Great Khan.

Because he was not an elected khan, the "Central Army" nominally submitted to him, but was torn apart by various nobles and sultans, making it difficult to mobilize; the southern army was in the hands of Sultan Galangtus, the governor of Tashkent-Bukhara. The Khanate only maintained superficial unity. This led to the fact that in the early days of his succession, the Great Khan had to transfer the main force of the Eastern Army to the vicinity of the capital Turkestan, and at the same time win over the nobles and sultans to eradicate opposition forces.

After finally securing the throne, the young Khan was eager to establish military exploits and wash away the stain of his unfair position. Nothing can impress Kazakhs more than recovering the Seven Rivers Basin and unifying Kazakhstan.

Therefore, he inherited his father's legacy and launched a war against Oirat. Things went well at first, but Oirat was in the middle of a civil war and had won many battles in a row. However, his good luck soon came to an end, and a powerful national advisor Khan appeared in Oirat. This person is very capable of manipulating things vertically and horizontally to reintegrate Oirat, which was a mess.

Two years ago, the national advisor Khan teamed up with Daleitaish and Batur Hutaiji to counterattack Kazakhstan and captured him. Although the Oirat people released him after negotiation, and the territories between each other did not change, they allowed him to see the powerful strength of the Heshuote people, Durbot people, and Junggar people, which gave rise to a deep sense of crisis. .

The relationship between the Kazakhs and the Turghut people in the north is also not good. At that time, the leader of Turgut and Orlek sent an envoy to Turkestan City to meet with Yesmukhan and requested to use the Kazakh Khanate to move westward. In order to disintegrate the Oirat Alliance and contain the Oros, Yesmukhan agreed to Orluk's request and opened a green channel for them. But not long after, the Kazakh Khanate fell into civil war, and the Torgut tribe actually refused to leave, staying nomadic in the area north of the Sare Alka grassland of the Kazakh Khanate, and constantly clashed with surrounding Kazakh tribes. After Yangir Khan succeeded to the throne, in order to show his military merit, he led the Eastern Army to ravage the Ulus of the Torgut tribe, and drove the Torgut people to the lower reaches of the Ezil River (Volga River).

Amid internal and external troubles, Yang Gilhan wanted to find someone to rely on. He fell in love with Kundulun Ubas, who was stationed as a herdsman in Kashiluk.

Kundulun Ubashi received Yangjier Khan in the tent with a smile, "Why did the Great Khan come to see me?"

"I am willing to form an alliance with your department to help each other and each to defend its territory."

"Of course that's good, but how can I trust your sincerity?" Kundulun Ubas was dubious. After all, he also had conflicts with the Kazakhs.

"You are about the same age as my father. I would like to worship you as my adoptive father. There is no reason in the world for a son to harm his father," Yang Gilhan said loudly.
