Chapter 1027 – 1023 [Kuozi Boy And Bayan Beauty]

Chapter 1027 1023 [Kuozi boy and Bayan beauty]

The emperor of the Han family was really majestic. Ji Bieke and the envoys had an audience together, and felt pressure even after a distance of two feet.

All the envoys paid their respects, and Alten, the cousin of Jibeke, spoke first: “Your Majesty, my elder brother said that the ancestors of Kazakhs came from China, and China is the ancestral country of all Kazakhs. My elder brother is the Kazakh Khan, please Your Majesty canonize the king. From now on, from generation to generation, the Kazakhs will be loyal to the Chinese emperor.”

Zhao Han smiled and said: “How did I hear that your brother didn’t even unify Zhongyuzi, let alone a Kazakh Khan.”

Since he was sent to be the head of the envoy, Altin was eloquent and had already prepared his speech: “My uncle Jianger Khan was once the co-lord of the Kazakhs, so he is also considered the leader of the Kazakh Khanate. king.”

“Since this is the case, order the Ministry of Rites to write the canonization document and engrave the golden seal of the Kazakh king.” Zhao Han followed suit and regarded it as true.

Central Asia belongs to the land of the Four Wars. Even if it is unified, it cannot be strong for a long time, and there will be chaos once in 30 to 50 years.

Moreover, Kazakhstan after unification has a better direction of expansion. Only when the brain is stupid will they attack Xinjiang across the mountains. Not to mention the hard work of the battle, there are still mountains, deserts and Gobi everywhere.

Kazakhs really have that strength, isn’t it good to fight Persia?

Zhao Han’s vision for China’s western borders is to take Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, rely on the mountainous areas there to build pass defenses, and only need a small number of troops to ensure border security in Xinjiang. As for the area further west, support the dependent countries and disrupt the various places.

Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan are China’s western gateways, while Kazakhstan is China’s watchdog.

In addition, in the north of Xinjiang, it occupies the Yenisei River Basin and the Altai region. Connecting Yenisei, Altai, and Xinjiang together can not only effectively defend against Tsarist Russia, but also be condescending to prevent Kazakhs from rebounding.

Toukhan, a young man, made Zhao Han very satisfied.

Not only sent the sister here, but also donated a lot of goods, including 500 high-quality war horses, which gave our Emperor Zhao enough face.

You have to return the gift, and the betrothal gift also counts.

Zhao Han was so generous that he bestowed 800 flintlock muskets, some ammunition, 1,000 sets of cotton armor, and ten pairs of binoculars. It also gave silk, cotton cloth, tea, and iron pots, all of which were needed by the grassland peoples.

With these materials, Toukhan should be able to unify Zhongyuzi faster, and then unify the entire Kazakh Khanate by force.

The Turghut Khanate and the Kazakh Khanate are all vassal states of China, and Tsarist Russia will be extremely troubled, and it is pure nonsense to think about crazy expansion.

Waving the Kazakh envoys to retreat, Princess Jibeke was taken to learn etiquette, and sent to the harem on an auspicious day.

Zhao Han still doesn’t know that this Kazakh girl is only fourteen years old, and she looks like she is sixteen or seventeen years old.

Following the Kazakh mission, there was also information from the north of the Tianshan Mountains.

Civil war broke out in Oirat Mongolia, and the Heshuote and Junggar tribes fought!

As early as decades ago, they had fought fiercely.

The result of the battle was that the Junggar tribe won, the Torghut tribe and the Durbert tribe were forced to move westward to the Caspian Sea, and Gushri Khan moved some Heshuote tribes to Qinghai-Tibet. There are also some Heshuo special departments, although they stay in the north of Tianshan Mountain, they nominally obey the Zhungeer Khan.

Of course, Gushi Khan left on his own initiative, and he was indeed the leader of Oala.

Now, the descendants of Gushi Khan returned to Tianshan, and brought tens of thousands of troops there, and re-integrated with the Heshuo Te tribe who stayed there. They plundered Hami and Turpan year after year, and they were very happy to rob, but they aroused the fear of the Junggar tribe.

Last year, due to grassland problems, a large-scale war broke out between the two films.

They are all defeated generals of the Datong Army, and they are evenly matched. But the Heshuo special department has a secret weapon, and that is Galdan, a young man who is nothing but the identity of H Buddha and the son of the previous Great Khan!

The Heshuo Special Department could not win, so they sent two thousand troops to Galdan and asked him to return to the Junggar Department to be a **** stick.

Galdan, who was only 21 years old, really led two thousand troops to the Northern Expedition under the banner of avenging his brother. More than a thousand former tribes of elder brother Sengge came to vote one after another, and many leaders of the Junggar tribe chose to stand by and watch the good show, and did not plan to interfere in the family affairs of the two brothers fighting for the throne.

Just this year, Galdan took 1,800 cavalry to defeat his elder brother Chechen’s 10,000 cavalry army and regained control of the Junggar tribe.

The two ministries of Heshuote and Junggar met in an alliance, and agreed to live in peace without interfering with each other. The Junggar tribe expanded westward, attacking Zhongyuzi in Kazakhstan; the Heshuote tribe expanded southward, attacking Turpan and Hami.

But this kind of peace is only temporary. Once the expansion fails, civil war will inevitably resume.

Continuing with the situation in southern Xinjiang, Zhao Han called the Ministry of War and the Civil and Military Affairs Office of the Governor’s Mansion: “Go to Gansu this year to stockpile logistical supplies to prepare for the attack on the Western Regions next year.”

“It’s time to do it long ago!” Fei Ruhe laughed.

After Fei Ruhe completely lost his command of the army, his relationship with Zhao Han became closer, and his speech became more casual.

Lu Xiangsheng is 65 years old and has served as Minister of the Ministry of War for many years. It will only be a matter of a year or two before he leaves office, and he will either be transferred to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, or enter the cabinet to assist the government. He wants to take over the Western Regions before he leaves office. This is the homeland of the former Ming Dynasty. It is not just a nominal attachment, but the imperial court must agree to garrison troops. If you don’t follow, you will be famous.”

“It should be like this.” Zhao Han nodded.

A big country still has to face. You can’t conquest vassal forces indiscriminately. Even if you make up a lie, you have to find a reasonable excuse.

What’s more, this time it’s not just making up, but really going to take back the homeland of Ming Dynasty.

Due to the civil strife in Yarkand, the two kings are still confronting each other. It is absolutely impossible for Hami and Turpan to have reinforcements. The Datong army can win it in minutes.

Lu Xiangsheng said again: “Your Majesty, next year when we conquer the Western Regions, will we only take Turpan and Hami, or will we annex the entire Yaerqiang Kingdom?”

“Swallow them all.” Zhao Han said.

Annexed Yarkand, Xinjiang will take half.

Moreover, it can block the expansion space of the Heshuo Special Department, force the Heshuo Special Department and the Junggar Department to grab the grassland, and make the civil war break out again between the hard-pressed brothers and sisters.

Zhao Han added: “I heard that Hami has a cavalry of fanatics. Whether they surrender or not, they will all be killed!”

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly said: “Your Majesty, you must immigrate to the real side.”

Zhao Han nodded and said: “Order the training divisions of the provinces to recruit farmers and soldiers who volunteered to go to the Western Regions, and form a new army of 5,000 people. Hami, Turpan, Aksu, Kashgar, and Yarkand will be stationed in each city after they are defeated. One thousand, five thousand family members of the new army will also bring them over.”

The population of the country has increased, and the contradiction between people and land has also begun to emerge.

There are too many men in the family, and there are those who are willing to make troubles. Taking their wives and children to serve as soldiers in the Western Regions can improve the living conditions of the whole family.

These 5,000 people belong to the city defense force. In addition, Anxi Dufu will be set up, and the Dufu will arrange thousands of mobile troops. In the next few decades, it is estimated that there will always be sporadic rebellions, and iron and blood rule is required to stabilize them.

Lu Xiangsheng said: “Your Majesty, the number is not enough.”

Zhao Han thought about it and said: “Recruit another 50,000 men, and they must bring their wives. When they go to the Western Regions, they will be able to divide the land and let them set up villages in the Western Regions. Give them leather armor, knives and guns, so that they can protect themselves at critical times. The reinforcements to the Protectorate have arrived.”

Fei Ruhe was stunned: “50,000 men and wives will be 100,000 immigrants all at once, or immigrate to the Western Regions, how much money will it cost?”

Lu Xiangsheng said: “These 100,000 immigrants are just as civilians who will send troops next year. They will **** the grain and grass there, so they don’t have to go back to their hometowns. They will find places suitable for farming in the Western Regions and form a number of villages.”

“There is a lot of food. At least half a year’s rations for 100,000 immigrants must be prepared. Bullock carts are often used to transport grain and grass. After the war, the cattle are distributed to the immigrants for farming.” Fei Ruhe said.

It is normal for everyone to worry. Jiayuguan has been lost for hundreds of years, and there are not many Han people left. It is impossible to gain a firm foothold without large-scale immigration.

As for arable land, there is plenty of it.

Yarqiang itself was fighting a civil war, and was plundered by the Mongols year after year, and the land in many places was barren. In the next year’s war, many people will die, and the vacant land will be allocated to Han immigrants.

The imperial court formulated a plan, and the huge state machinery quickly started to operate.

The food factory under the Ministry of War makes military rations around the clock, and makes traditional compressed biscuits with rice flour. Grain from Taiwan, Hainan, Guangnan, and Nanyang was also transported to Tianjin one by one, followed by the Grand Canal to Xuzhou, and then transported all the way to Shaanxi and Gansu for storage.

The training departments of each province, with the cooperation of the government, recruited immigrants, farmers and soldiers for training.

Immigrants mainly come from the south, because the conflict between people and land in the north is not serious. Moving from the warm south to the Western Regions, only if there are too many males in the family, they are willing to sign up to go, and they have to give enough settling allowance.

In autumn, the heat is slightly dispersed.

Ji Beke was finally sent to the harem, and her Chinese is also proficient, and simple communication is no longer a problem.

Her personal maid is also a dowry.

“Will the emperor drink and beat people?” The maid was a little worried.

Jibie laughed and said: “The emperor is a great hero, but not a drunken madman. He allowed us to wear Kazakh clothes, which shows that he is very magnanimous, and he shouldn’t be beating women.”

The two girls of different races were talking, when suddenly it was reported that the emperor was coming, and they rushed to the door to greet him.

“Go in and sit down.” Zhao Han said with a smile.

Ji Bieke lowered his head and did not dare to look at the emperor, but he was curious in his heart. He was too far away from the meeting that day, so he couldn’t see the emperor’s appearance clearly.

After taking two steps, Ji Bieke suddenly looked directly at the emperor, wanting to see what the emperor looked like.

Zhao Han has changed from a handsome guy to a charming uncle. The skin is well maintained, but it is quite tiring to deal with government affairs. Before the age of 50, the gray hair has gradually grown. If you don’t look carefully, you can’t see it, but if you look closely, you can always find a few white hairs.

Between the lips and nose, there is a small mustache, and the rest of the beard is clean-shaven.

He already has a belly, the characteristics of a middle-aged man. Fortunately, he has not yet turned into a beer belly. Emperor Zhao’s body management is not good.

Zhao Han is also looking at Ji Beke, and he is a little surprised. This Kazakh girl can go directly to the camera and shoot movies without makeup. It is probably due to the mixed race, and she is pampered, her skin is fair and smooth, and her facial features are distinct and exquisite, as if she had edited a picture with a computer.

Jibieke was quite courageous at first, and after being watched by the emperor for a while, she felt a little shy, so she actually fetched Dombula and said, “Let me sing for Your Majesty.”

“You sing.” Zhao Han sat down with a smile.

Ji Beke actually sang a long poem, which lasted for several minutes without ending.

Zhao Han didn’t interrupt, this foreign song was quite interesting, although he couldn’t understand what he was singing.

Waiting for her to finish singing, Zhao Han asked, “What’s the name of this song?”

Ji Beke said: “”Kozi Kul Pash and Bayan Sulu” (also known as “Kuozi Boy and Bayan Beauty”) is a long love poem of our Kazakhs.”

In fact, it is not exclusive to the Kazakhs. This long poem has been circulated throughout Central Asia and has been born for hundreds of years.

“It seems to be a beautiful story.” Zhao Han laughed.

Ji Beke introduced: “The young man is called Kuozi, and the girl is called Bayan. Their fathers married them by fingertips. But Kuozi’s father passed away, and life was very difficult. Bayan’s father refused to marry his daughter, so he took The family moved to a place far, far away. The girl’s family raised 90,000 horses, and in order to solve the problem of water sources, she was betrothed to Kudar…”

Zhao Han couldn’t help laughing: “It’s still a remorseful marriage.”

Jibeke continued: “Bayan couldn’t forget her sweetheart, so when she moved, she left earrings, bracelets, and shepherd sticks as marks along the way. Later, the sticks she left behind all grew leaves. Kuozi followed Looking at these marks, they finally found Bayan. But Bayan’s father and his new fiancé jointly killed Kuozi. In order to get revenge, Bayan stabbed his fiancé to death with a dagger, and then committed suicide.”

Zhao Han muttered: “The Central Asian version of “Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai”, as well as the European version of “Romeo and Juliet”, why are the love masterpieces all over the world similar?”

“What did Your Majesty say?” Jibie couldn’t understand.

Zhao Han glanced at her waist: “You also have a short sword?”

Jibeke said: “It was taken away.”

Zhao Han said: “Autumn is here, I will take you to go hunting on horseback tomorrow.”

“Sure!” Jibie was overjoyed.

The emperor had a new love, and the people in the palace knew it very quickly, because the emperor slept with Ji Beke for three nights in a row.
