Chapter 859 Attacking Yarkand

In Baturhui's big tent, Fan Wencheng traveled thousands of miles, and finally saw Jungar's sweat.

"Who is he?" Baturhun put down his glass and looked at Sengge.

Fan Wencheng introduced himself: "Great Khan, I am Fan Wencheng, a scholar of the National Academy of the Qing Dynasty. He was ordered by the Regent of the Qing Dynasty to come to see the Great Khan."

Baturhui's face became serious, "Oh, Shi Chen of the Qing Dynasty, what are you doing here?"

Sengge at the side said: "Father Khan, Fan Xueshi is here to discuss with us the matter of jointly dealing with Wei!"

When Baturhui saw Sengge's attitude, he obviously supported the alliance with the Qing to fight against Wei, but not long ago, he was still a person who advocated retreating from Hetao.

"The soldiers and horses of the Western Wei Dynasty are strong and strong. They defeated Gushi Khan of Heshuote first, and then defeated your Qing Dynasty. What is the benefit of this Khan joining forces with you to fight against Wei?" Batu Erhui asked directly.

Fan Wencheng smiled slightly, and gave a direct answer that Baturhun had to agree with. He stretched out a finger, "Khan, because the Western Wei Dynasty is rich and rich, this alone is enough!"

"Rich?" Batu Erhui was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood, and couldn't help but take another look at the scum of the Han people in front of him.

Herding and robbery are the main occupations of the Mongols, and the money in the Western Wei Dynasty is indeed the basis for the cooperation between Zhungeer and the Manchus.

It's like two gangs of robbers have their eyes on a rich man, but they can't deal with the rich man's nursing home alone, and finally decide to join forces to fight for a vote.

Zhungeer has become stronger, and after all, they want to find someone to rob. The general forces and tribes are not enough for them to rob. Since the past dynasties, the northern nomads have always targeted the Central Plains. Only the huge Central Plains can withstand their constant robbery. sweep.

"Haha~" Baturhui laughed, he was moved by this reason, "Come here, let's have a banquet, Ben Khan wants to entertain the envoys of the Qing Dynasty!"

At that moment, a bonfire was lit in the big tent, and freshly slaughtered lambs were placed on the shelves. The women from Zhungeer brought kumiss and sliced ​​cakes from Yarkand to entertain the distinguished guests.

Inside the tent, Mongolians danced and toasted Fan Wencheng from time to time. The atmosphere was very warm.

At this time, Fan Wencheng raised his wine glass: "The Great Khan ruled Moxi, and his strength is strong, but it is a pity that he has to live in such an environment." Fan Wencheng glanced at Baturhui's tent, with regret on his face.

Baturhui's smiling face froze, and the tent became quiet for a moment, but Fan Wencheng said calmly: "Damn Khan, the grain in Guanzhong is filled with hundreds of high warehouses, each of which is bigger than Khan's tent. The storehouses are full of cloth and silk, too much to be used up. The Khan should live in the majestic palace in Guanzhong, counting money, grain and cloth, instead of herding sheep on the grassland! The autumn harvest will be in two months, I am very grateful Qing is willing to conspire with the Great Khan in Guanzhong."

After hearing this, Baturhun stared at Fan Wencheng, then burst out laughing, entertaining him to eat and drink.

After the banquet was over, Baturhui had someone help Fan Wencheng to rest, and left Seng Ge to ask: "Before you advocated not to conflict with the Western Wei Dynasty, why do you advocate alliance with the Qing Dynasty today?"

Sengge said: "Father Khan, one person is timid, and everyone is fat. The wolves on the grassland are in packs. If they want to eat delicious food, Zhungeer needs partners. The Qing Dynasty wants to unite with us. For us It’s a good thing to say, but we don’t have to listen to them and go directly to the Western Wei Dynasty, but we can use the Qing Dynasty to contain the Western Wei Dynasty so that we can wipe out Yaerqiang.”

Now Zhungeer has unified Moxi and forced other Mongolian tribes to surrender. He has 16 accounts and a population of 80 million.

For the Central Plains, this population is just a mansion, but the Mongols are different from the Central Plains Dynasty. Only a few households in the Central Plains raise a soldier. As long as Mongolia is a man, it is a soldier. With a population of 80 million, it is a man who controls the strings. , but it is frighteningly large. Even if there is one person in each account, it is still 16 people who control the strings.

Although there are many Zhungeer troops, Baturhui also covets Yarkand, but Baturhui still has doubts about when to send troops.

At this time, he listened to Sengge's words and immediately understood that if Zhungeer formed an alliance with the Qing Dynasty and Zhungeer attacked Yarkand, the Western Wei Dynasty would have to weigh the consequences of intervening.

A smile appeared on Baturhun's face, "Ben Khan understands, you want to use the Qing Dynasty to contain the Western Wei Dynasty, so that Ben Khan can take down Yaerqiang and strengthen his strength."

Seng Ge nodded, "Seizing the population and resources of Yarkand, Zhungeer's strength will inevitably double. At that time, we will unite with the Qing army, enter Guanzhong, live in the magnificent palace of Wei State, and sleep with the southerners. woman."

Baturhui's eyes were shining, he stood up suddenly, and said: "It seems that under the guidance of Changshengtian at this time, this Khan is destined to become the Great Khan of Mongolia, restore the glory of our ancestors, and rule the Central Plains!"

The Yeerqiang Khanate was established by the descendants of Chagatai. Its territory is very vast. The territory of the powerful period stretched from Jiayuguan in the east to Uszang in the south, Yuzi in the west and Tianshan Mountain in the north. The territory of the Khanate included Turpan, Hami, Tarim Basin and other places.

Today, this khanate has existed for more than 100 years. Like all countries, it has gone through the rise and the most powerful stage, and is now rapidly declining.

To the east of him is the powerful state of Wei, and to the north is the rising Zhungeer tribe.

These two powerful forces made Abdullah Khan of Yarkand feel deeply disturbed.

At this time, within Yarkand, the Black Mountain faction and the Baishan faction were fighting fiercely.

It is not only difficult to accommodate under the belief of one god, but also difficult for other beliefs, even different sects under the same belief, to coexist. It is not as harmonious and tolerant as the Central Plains, where Laojun, Buddha, and saints all worship.

Now that Yaerqiang is in turmoil, it is difficult for Abdullah to compete with Wei Guo and Zhungeer, so after thinking about it for three years, he decided to hold a thigh and pay tribute to Wei Guo, hoping to become the Great Wei Guo in name country dog.

Abdullah made such a decision after careful consideration. From a historical point of view, the Central Plains Dynasty rarely invaded other countries on its own initiative, and would not harm his interests. However, Yarkand traded with the State of Wei and became a second-hand businessman. A lot of money and food.

Zhungeer in the north inherited the nomadic characteristics of the north. They believed in war horses and scimitars, and were addicted to aggression. Once they became bigger, the surrounding area would inevitably suffer.

In fact, his judgment was very accurate. More than ten years later, Yarkand would be destroyed by Zhungeer. The power immediately grew, thus challenging the almost unified Qing Dynasty.

At this time, Wei State was in the Western Regions, so Abdullah hoped that he would send a message to Zhungeer by paying tribute, telling Baturhun that Yarkand has a boss, and you had better not beat Yarkand However, Abdullah did not expect that Zhungeer also found his own foreign aid.

Yeerqiang and Zhungeer are bounded by Tianshan Mountain. At the foot of the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain, the herdsmen of Yarkand are grazing on the hillside. Men and women are playing piano and singing and dancing together.

At the foot of the mountain in the distance, a rider suddenly appeared, and then another rider climbed over the hillside, followed by dense figures crowding the hill.

Teams of cavalry at the foot of the mountain galloped back and forth, raised their heads and blew the horn. The low sound of the horn continued to echo at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. Not far behind them, the murderous Oirat cavalry turned over the top of the mountain, and a large banner appeared.

Baturhui drew out his scimitar, pointed forward, and roared loudly, "Conquer Yarkand!"

For a moment, the cavalry rushed down the hillside with the sound of horns like quicksilver.
