Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 458: North or west?
On Maburi Mountain in the northwest of Lhasa, the Potala Palace is surrounded by three layers of siege. The Red Palace in the center is where the emperor and his concubines slept. There are countless palaces in the Red Palace, and each palace has a beauty. Emperor Qianyuan, who was busy with everything, sometimes felt stressed and needed to relieve his pressure, so palaces such as the West Sixth Palace and the East Sixth Palace were built one after another.

On the sixth floor of the Red Palace, to the west of the Qianqing Palace, there is a palace named "Yikun". "Yi" means assistant, and the queen's palace is Kunning Palace. Yikun means assisting the queen in managing the Sixth Palace, and it is the palace of the imperial concubine. The David Palace drew on the Han people's idea of ​​respecting people close to the central axis. The Qianqing Palace where the emperor lived was built in the center, but it maintained the Mongolian characteristics of "respecting the west". The Yikun Palace was built in the west of the Red Palace, far away The Qianqing Palace is slightly farther than the Kunning Palace, which represents the status of the owner here in the harem of the Kingdom of David.

The main hall is five rooms wide, with yellow glazed tiles on the top of the mountain, brackets under the eaves, screens, incense tables, and palace fans. On the throne on the ground in the west of the bright room, a beauty as beautiful as jade is sitting. The beauty was about thirty years old, and she was well-maintained like a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old. She had a pretty face and snow-white skin. She was none other than the Royal Consort Yaruo of the King of David.

At this time, the empress was in a very good mood, chatting with a young and handsome man in a gentle voice. The man's face was very resolute, and he looked like a passionate man who had gone through countless hardships. He actually looked a bit like Sultan, but he was much younger than Sultan, and he lacked the domineering aura of dominating the world.

He is the younger brother of the imperial concubine Yaruo and the eldest son of Turgut Khan Shukur Daiqing who moved to the Ejile (Volga) River. Have friends come from afar! Not to mention close relatives! After not seeing her brother for a long time, Lady Yaruo was very excited and prepared delicious food and fruits early. The considerate Lotus Great Khan specifically avoided it, allowing the siblings to chat for half a day, talking about everything from their parents' health to their children, the current status of their relatives, and the living environment of the tribe. Until the sun sets.

Just as he was enjoying himself, a chamberlain reported, "Your Majesty, your Royal Highness, your Majesty has decreed that your uncle will come from afar and give you a banquet in the royal garden."

"Let's go, brother, follow me to the banquet first." Yaruo smiled and took Guru Taiji straight to the imperial garden.

The types of flowers in the Imperial Garden are far inferior to those of the Ming and Qing dynasties. It’s not that Sultan is stingy and reluctant to spend money to buy flowers, but the special environment of the snowy plateau means that flowers that are too delicate cannot survive here. Only Kelsang flowers, Persian flowers, etc. Only cold-resistant plateau flowers such as chrysanthemum, white jade grass, pagoda, snow lotus, alpine rhododendron, red polygonum, dipyrope, gongshan thistle, raspberry, and pansy can adapt to the environment here.

The banquet was actually held in the Imperial Garden! His Majesty the Emperor is so elegant that he looks more like a Han than a Mongolian. Despite this, none of the civil and military ministers present dared to laugh at his arty manner. This is the mighty Lotus Khan who single-handedly created thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the Kingdom of David!

"The slaves see the Lotus Khan", this "Lotus Khan" has far-reaching meaning, representing that the Turgut people far away in the Volga River Basin recognized Sultan's status as the co-owner of all Mongolia. It’s not easy! I remember that he originally wanted to replace the "Boerzhijin" surname with the "Yikeming'an" surname, but when he declared himself Khan, no one except the Oirat tribe, Liao Liaoji, expressed surrender. Now, finally, a large and influential tribe has voluntarily surrendered. The Torgut tribe was one of the Four Owarats in the past, and they moved overseas to establish their country. With him taking the lead, I hope that most of Monan and Mobei, the three khanates in Central Asia, and all areas under the control of Mongolian forces can surrender to me.

Sultan looked at his brother-in-law like a treasure. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him. "Come on, you are my uncle. Come sit next to me," he said with a smile.

"Yes!" The wine and meat were fragrant, and the host and guest looked happy. After eating, Sultan stayed alone in Guludong Nuan Pavilion to discuss matters. The east wind is blowing in the small building tonight, so many important events are happening in the storm!

"Guru, are Torgut's army ready?" When it came to fighting, the Great Khan changed his gentle and elegant gentlemanly demeanor and returned to his true character of a butcher, with his eyes all red.

"Thank you, Great Khan, Torgut's army has been prepared for a long time. As soon as your army enters Kazakh territory, we will launch an attack from west to east."

"it is good!"

Sultan clenched his fists and shouted, "Go back and tell you Eqige that in October this year, I will conquer Kazakhstan westward and will not withdraw my troops until Yangjier Khan is defeated!"

He wants to expedition to the Kazakh Khanate at the end of this year. This idea has been around for a long time. Firstly, after two years of recuperation, the Davidic Kingdom had recovered from the war and had savings in the treasury; secondly, the failure in the Battle of Orbrak was a rare defeat in his life, which was embarrassing. How could the arrogant Lotus Khan endure being thrown thousands of miles away? Vowed to avenge and avenge humiliation; thirdly, the Kazakh Khanate was a powerful country with 400,000 troops at its peak. Even if it is now divided and declining, it is still the leading power in Central Asia and has extremely strong war potential. Attacking this country will not only greatly enhance the strength of Weiguo, but also eliminate worries, which will help to concentrate on dealing with the Manchus. While the Manchu and Qing dynasties have not yet put down the rebel armies in Nanming and other places, how long will it take for them not to expand their territory?
Armies one after another gathered towards the northern foot of the Kyrgyz Mountains in Wanhu Prefecture of Heshuote, and the Ili River was filled with densely packed grain and grass boats. Sultan, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, naturally knew the difficulties of fighting in winter. He not only prepared sufficient food, but also sufficient fodder for the war horses. He even made a large number of sleigh boats and raised a large number of reindeer to pull the sleigh boats.

But the upcoming war was delayed for several days because of the inscription written by Bobei, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. The fighter planes shown in the title book and the suggestions to garrison Mobei and control Khalkha Mongolia deeply moved the great Khan of Lotus who loved petty gains.

The Great Khan felt that Bobei was right. Among the three Khans of Mobei, Chechen Khan Shuolei and Zasaktu Khan Subadi are both dead. Ahaihatun, who is in charge of the Chechen Khan tribe, is his sister-in-law. Norbu Khan of Zasaktu was killed because of his attack on his great-uncle. Although their pastureland and reputation were damaged, they had to rely on David to survive. Only Tuxietu Khan Gunbu was left alone, and he was alone. If a force is sent to Mobei at this time, they may be able to conquer the Khalkha Mongolia and make it a powerful base for the Davidic Kingdom to attack the Manchu Qing Dynasty. But he had made an appointment with the Turgut people to attack Kazakhstan from a flank, and the arrow was already on the string, so how could he not fire it?
To the north or to the west? The Great Khan of Lotus was hesitant and scratched his head in pain.

"Come here, announce that Batu Hetan, Tiemo'er, Nasutu, Liu Haogu, Erke, Xue Zongzhou, Hashiha, Narisong, Reheman, and Hu Lianqi have entered the East Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace." He hesitated. Undecided, he summoned important ministers in Beijing for discussion to determine the attack direction of the Guards Tiger Wolf.
