I

Nanjing, Forbidden City.

Although Chechen Daiqing is the leader of the mission, the nominal envoy is the Qinghai eminent monk Duoju Gyatso.

The two came to the palace and saluted Zhao Han one after another.

Honglu Temple has been reestablished and belongs to the Ministry of Rites, which is in charge of foreign guests, court meetings, banquets and etiquette. When envoys from foreign vassals meet the emperor, they are no longer as rough as before. They all have to study at Honglu Temple, and they all bend down and bow to pay tribute to the emperor - special professions such as monks and Taoists can do whatever they want.

"Give me a seat." Zhao Han said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Under the guidance of the female officer, the two carefully took their seats.

After a brief exchange of words, Chechen Daiqing said: "Your Majesty, my father Tulu Baihu is willing to bring the Oara Mongolia and the Khoshot Khanate to join the Great Harmony of China wholeheartedly and serve as the northwest border of the Celestial Dynasty for generations to come."

"Your father is commendable for his loyalty and obedience. I am very pleased." Zhao Han nodded in approval and asked casually, "How is your father's health? If you have time, you can come to Nanjing to meet. I also want to meet the Mongolian hero."

Chechen Daiqing replied: "Thanks to your Majesty's great blessing, my father is in good health and can ride a horse and hunt like a sixteen-year-old boy."

Zhao Han smiled and said, "You speak Chinese very well."

Chechen Daiqing said: "I have been learning Chinese for eight years."

Zhao Han looked at Doju Gyatso again: "This master doesn't seem to like talking."

Doju Gyatso was a Han Chinese, and he still had awe for the emperor. He said quickly: "Meeting your majesty is like worshiping the Buddha. Just be sincere and there is no need to say more."

"Master's Dharma is profound and I really admire it." Zhao Han immediately expressed his respect, but he was just respectful and not interested. He changed the subject and asked, "Oar Mongolia is often attacked by Russia?"

The Russian state and the Rakshasa state are the correct transliterations of Tsarist Russia.

But Mongolian rarely begins with an R consonant. When talking about Russia, the first syllable is deformed into O, and second-hand translation into Chinese becomes Russia.

Similarly, Russia has always used the wrong European name for China: Khitan.

Chechen Daiqing replied: "Russia is in the north, and their expeditionary force is called Cossacks. They are not many in number, but they are very hateful. They invaded the Telyanguti tribe of Oara Mongolia and built a city called Kunzko (Kuznetsk). The castle. And in the north of Dulbert's tribe, they built a castle called Tarana (Tara). They usually hide in the city, often go out to rob our people, and then return to the city after the robbery."

Kuznetsk Castle was built more than 20 years ago. To the northwest of this city is Tomsk Castle. Further to the west, is Tara Castle.

The three castles are all located in the north of Oara Mongolia.

Zhao Han asked: "Russian Cossack cavalry, how effective are they?"

Chechen Daiqing replied: "To report back to your majesty, I have never encountered this. I only heard from the elders of the clan. These Cossacks are extremely fierce, vicious, and very cunning. They like sneak attacks and do not fight head-on. Every time the Mongols When the warriors went to conquer, they hid in the castle. It was too cold there, and the Mongolian warriors lacked supplies, so they had to withdraw their troops within a month or two of siege at most. After the Mongolian warriors withdrew, the Cossacks went south to rob the Mongolian herdsmen."

Zhao Han understood immediately that the Oara Mongols were not afraid of the Cossack cavalry, but they were disgusted by the Cossacks.

The original meaning of Cossacks is "freedom". They were originally a group of common people who could not bear the oppression of the nobles. In order to escape the persecution of the feudal lords, they kept fleeing and migrating eastward. They lived by the river and called themselves Cossacks (free people).

The original Cossacks did not have cavalry troops, but lived on boats for a long time.

They were also on the boat when fighting, and if they couldn't be beaten, they would row to escape. They usually made a living by fishing. After repeatedly defeating the conquests of feudal lords, the Cossacks began to gain a reputation, and were later recruited and laundered to become mercenaries of the nobles.

Zhao Han asked about the Cossacks, and then said: "Since Oara has surrendered to the Celestial Empire, the enemies of Oara are the enemies of the Celestial Empire. In addition to Russia, what other major enemies does Oara have? Let me tell them all together. After I finish dealing with the Jurchen barbarians, , then go help Wala defeat the enemy!"

Daiqing of Chechnya happily said: "Your Majesty, the most serious problem of Oara is the Khalkha Mongols in Mobei. If Your Majesty is willing to send troops, the various ministries of Oara are willing to send 50,000 cavalry to cooperate and completely wipe out the Khalkha Mongols from Mobei." ! When the time comes, Hetao will return to the Heavenly Dynasty, and Mobei will return to Oara!"

"Who occupied Hami?" Zhao Han asked.

Daiqing of Chechnya said: "All areas south of the Tianshan Mountains belong to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, but they are actually owned by the Yeerqiang Khanate. The Eastern Chagatai Khanate was originally divided into the Yeerqiang Kingdom and the Turpan State. The country was divided into various tribes. Twenty years ago, the son of the Khan of Turpan took advantage of his brothers' struggle for the throne and led the Yeerqiang Kingdom's army to send troops to Turpan. This man unified the Yeerqiang Kingdom and handed over Turpan to I was governed by my younger brother, and controlled Hami to the east. I attacked the Jungar tribe of Oara Mongolia to the north and took away the Ili Valley and Lake Balkhash."

The founder of the Yerqiang Khanate was the cousin of the founder of the Mughal Empire in India.

Now the monarch who reunited southern Xinjiang is called Abdullah. His death is very ridiculous in history. After professing tribulation to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he personally went on a pilgrimage to Mecca. When he came back, he died of illness in Delhi, India. The Yeerqiang Kingdom fell into civil war and was later destroyed by the Jungar tribe of the Oara Mongolia.

Oara Mongolia is surrounded by enemies on all sides.

There is Russia in the north, Kazakhstan in the west, Khalkha in the east, and Yerqiang in the south. However, the truce with Yeerqiang was temporarily reached at the cost of recognizing Yeerqiang's rule over the Ili Valley and Lake Balkhash.

Zhao Han does not have the current map of the Western Regions, but only a few ancient maps of the Western Regions.

He called Chechen Daiqing to his side and asked: "Which piece is Yeerqiang?"

Chechen Daiqing was also a little confused. After thinking for a while, he pointed to the southern Xinjiang region and said, "It should be here."

Zhao Han pointed to the north of Yinshan Mountain again: "Is this Khalkha?"

"Yes." Chechen Daiqing was much more certain this time.

"Where is this side?" Zhao Han pointed to the west.

Chechen Daiqing said: "That's Kazakhstan. Between Kazakhstan and Yeerqiang, there are also Kyligis."

The Kyrgyz people are the Kirgiz people. Later, some of them lived in Xinjiang and some in the former Soviet Union. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it became Kyrgyzstan.

The Gilghis originally lived in the Seven Rivers Basin (the seven rivers east of Lake Balkhash, including the Ili River). The Jungar tribe drove away the Giljis and occupied the Ili Valley themselves, but now they have been taken away by the Yeerqiang Kingdom.

Zhao Han chatted with Chechen Dai Qing for a while, finally opening up the fog of war in the Western Regions and roughly understanding the distribution of forces in those regions.

Chechen Daiqing is very honest and always answers Zhao Han's questions.

Because the content of what Zhao Han asked was very far away, if the Datong Army really wanted to fall out, it would not fight the Western Regions at all, but Qinghai and Tibet of Gushi Khan!

Gushi Khan is an interesting person. He led the army to conquer Urumqi and other places at the age of thirteen. He could have ruled the northern frontier, but he had to use force. In order to avoid civil war with his uncle, brother, and brother-in-law, he directly gave up his own territory and led his troops to conquer Qinghai.

It is equivalent to the heir of a large company, who has already served as the president, saying that I don’t want this company anymore, you can share some of the shares, and I will bring a sum of funds to start a business.

The leaders of the Heshuote Department were very grateful for this and honored Gushi Khan as the honorary chairman. The group's head office, Oara Mongolia, still respects Gushi Khan as its honorary president.

As long as the actual interests of the Mongolian leaders of Oara are not affected, Gushi Khan can make the decision on behalf of the entire Oara.

For example, surrender to the Datong court!

After chatting about the Western Regions for a while, Zhao Han began to ask for Buddhist advice and learn about the various sects in Tibet and Qinghai.

It is inconvenient to write out the relevant content as it has been deleted and revised several times.

Chechen Daiqing lived in Nanjing for more than a month, and finally waited for the emperor to confer him:

The Chinese court of Datong consecrated Gushi Khan as the King of Guiyi and gave the vassal king a gold seal. He also consecrated the leaders of the Wala tribes as dukes and gave them the gold seal. Gushi Khan and the leaders of various tribes gave him a fine matchlock gun and some ammunition. Gushi Khan himself gave a special Tianzhu horse (a hybrid of Marwari horse and Mongolian horse).

He also granted the title of XXXX to Duju Gyatso, and stipulated that in the future, XXXX must accept the canonization of the Nanjing Emperor to be effective.

The cavalry of the various tribes of Oara is authorized to have military access in Gansu.

However, permission must be reported before each pass. If there is any illegal behavior during the process, strict law will be dealt with, otherwise it will be tantamount to rebellion.

Chechen Daiqing was overjoyed. The task assigned to him by his father had been successfully completed. This Datong emperor was so kind.

Emperor Zhao Han of Datong is waiting for his father to die of illness.

Anyway, Zhao Han is very young, while Gushi Khan is already sixty-four years old. How long can a Mongolian who has been fighting all year round live at the age of 64?

Once the newly minted King Guiyi dies, Qinghai and Tibet will definitely be divided. Even if it doesn't split, Zhao Han will let it split, and then the court will have the final say.

Daiqing of Chechnya knelt under the city of Nanjing, facing the majestic towers, bidding farewell to the emperor and returning to Qinghai.

As for xxxx, they were detained as human beings... as guests.

Historically, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties also played this way. There were several xx in Qinghai and Tibet. In the event of a rebellion, the xx is in hand and can issue relevant orders at any time. If the local leader disobeys, it is against the will of the xx.
