  Chapter 1014 1010 [Another person sent a girl to the emperor]

  The envoys and Ayuqi continued westward, and when they arrived in the Aksu area, they found that the division of Yarkand had reached an irreversible point.

  The governor of Aksu, as the king's confidant, actually supported himself and did not obey anyone's orders.

  The King of Yarkand, who nominally owns half of Xinjiang, is blocked in Yarkand City (Yecheng County) at this time and cannot get out. And it was his son Jolevas who blocked the king.

  Passing Kashgar, Yao Lewas personally greeted him.

  After the wine was hot, Yao Levas said at the banquet: "Your Excellency, my father is already unpopular. Please ask the emperor of China to canonize me as the new king of Yarkand."

  Xie Yuan said in an official tone: "It is inconvenient for the Chinese government to interfere with the internal affairs of Yaerqiang. Your father is, after all, the king appointed by the Chinese government. Unless he dies, the Chinese government will not be able to designate a new king."

  Yao Lewas was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "I see."

  This fellow had long wanted to fight a decisive battle with his father, and after the envoys left, he mobilized his troops and planned to go to the city of Yarkand in the coming year.

  King Abdullah Khan heard that his son was collecting food, and immediately responded severely—killing his own grandson and granddaughter!

  Yao Levas has only one son and one daughter, and they all live in the city of Yarkand. If they are all killed, there will be no future.

   It's a human drama, the son wants to lead troops to attack his father, and his father kills his grandchildren so that his son will never be born again.

  Hearing that his sons and daughters were killed, Yao Levas couldn't wait for next year, and he didn't care about the lack of food and grass, so he even led his troops to the city of Yarkand.

  The king and the prince are fighting for hegemony, while the rest of the governors are all on the sidelines.

   In fact, it was the army of Kashgar, which went to fight the army of Yecheng County, and the total number of troops participating in the battle was barely over 10,000.

  Abdullah Khan was unfortunately defeated and was forced by his son to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca. He "died of illness" within two months of departure.

  Black Mountain sent He Zhuo to flee to Aksu with the little prince, and the governor of Aksu supported the little prince as king. The two kings of Yarkand coexisted and started a more intense civil war, completely ignoring the Mongols' invasion south.

  …

   After Kashgar, it is the territory of the Kyrgyz people, which is the Kyrgyzstan of later generations.

  The people of Kyrgyzstan did not establish a country. For hundreds of years, they were repeatedly beaten by surrounding forces. But no one has killed them all, and they all regard this place as a subsidiary force, and at this time they nominally submit to the Zhungeer Ministry.

  Going to this place, of course, went to Suiye City to pay homage, Xie Yuan paid homage to Li Bai there.

  There are mountains in front of you, so you can only go southwest or northwest.

  In the southwest is the Bukhara Khanate, a Persian cultural country established by the Uzbeks, and at the same time, they went to Persia to plunder and fight every now and then.

  Ayuqi has no communication with the Bukhara Khanate, so he is not sure whether it is safe there.

  So everyone went northwest and soon came to the pasture of Dayuzi.

  The Kazakhs in Dayuzzi are eyeing the envoys. But seeing that they brought cavalry and claimed to be Chinese envoys, no one dared to rob them after all.

  Some tribes here belong to the semi-nomadic state. Many cities have been built in the river area, and there are many Kazakhs who are half-cultivating and half-herding.

   When it came to Zhong Yuzi's site, the style of painting obviously changed.

   There are almost no cities in Zhongyuzi, and they are all nomadic tribes, just like the Mongolians in Mobei.

   After about six days of advancing in the Chincha Grassland, someone finally came to contact me.

  The scout in charge of guarding the rear rushed back on a fast horse, and blew the horn before the people arrived.

   "The whole army is in armor!"

  Sun Ruotao, the cavalry general responsible for escorting the envoys, immediately shouted orders, and Aqiyu's cavalry also began to put on their armor.

   Not long after, the sound of rumbling horseshoes came.

   About 3,000 Kazakh cavalrymen stopped a hundred steps away from the envoys.

  Deputy envoy Pang Anguo said: "You are an envoy, but you are not good at riding. I will negotiate with the other party."

  Xie Yuan nodded and said, "Be careful."

  Pang Anguo led a few cavalrymen and rode out with Aqiyu.

  Several Kazakhs also came on horseback.

  The leader is a young man in his twenties. He spoke with a loud voice: "I am the son of Jianger Khan, the leader of Kazakhs, Khan. Are you envoys from China?"

  Pang Anguo said: "I am the deputy envoy of the Celestial Dynasty, and I was ordered to go to the Turghut Khanate to be crowned king."

  Tou Kehan ​​asked: "I heard that China defeated Zhungeer in the east. Is this news true?"

  Pang Anguo said: "The Zhungeer part was divided into two parts, and one part occupied Mobei in China, and has been wiped out by His Majesty the Emperor."

"China is really powerful," Toukhan couldn't help feeling, and asked again, "Can I send an envoy to China? I would like to represent the Kazakhs and obey the Chinese emperor as the Lord. I have a younger sister who is 13 years old and beautiful. And smart, willing to marry the great Chinese emperor."

   Aqiyu reminded in a low voice beside him: "This person cannot represent the Kazakh Khanate, not even Zhongyuzi."

  Pang Anguo asked: "What is his background?"

Aqiyu explained: "His father, Jianger Khan of Zhongyuzi, led his troops to resist the Zhungeer tribe's repeated invasions. Later, the army was defeated and killed, Zhongyuzi was torn apart, and some who claimed to be Khan Seven or eight. At that time, he was less than ten years old, and he followed his mother and the tribe into exile, and when he was more than ten years old, he suddenly brought troops back and conquered several Zhongyuzi tribes."

  Pang Anguo gestured to Xie Yuan who was behind, and Xie Yuan also rode over, and the two exchanged to explain the situation clearly.

  Toukhan was also gesturing, and among the Kazakh cavalry, a girl came on horseback.

  This Kazakh girl is thirteen years old, but she looks like fourteen or fifteen years old. It seems that people here are very precocious. And she was born beautiful, her skin was as white and tender as milk, and every frown and smile was charming.

  Central Asia has always been a melting pot of races, and I don’t know how many ethnic groups have been mixed in. The style of Kazakh girls is not only different from Han people, but also different from Indian and Persian orchids.

  Xie Yuan smiled and said: "This fellow has been prepared for a long time, and he actually brought his sister along."

Aqiyu explained: "Zhongyuzi has been classified as a vassal state by Zhungeer, and at the same time it is still forming an alliance with Yarkand. Now that China has defeated the Zhungeer tribe, and Yarkand has fallen into division again, this person must want to find China. Be a backer. Moreover, there are several khans in Zhongyuzi, if he marries his younger sister to the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, he will gain great prestige, which will be more conducive to his unification of Zhongyuzi."

  Xie Yuan said to Pang Anguo: "The imperial court needs to arrange a chess piece in Kazakhstan. This head Kehan ​​is very young and has great potential. I think it can be drawn."

   "Let them send people to Nanjing, let His Majesty decide for himself." Pang Anguo said.

Xie Yuan took out a pen and paper, wrote a document, and handed it to Tou Kehan, saying: "Your envoy can take this document, whether it is in China or Yarkand, you can show the document and pass smoothly. If you meet When the Heshuote Mongols plundered, they also took out the documents. Hurting the envoys holding the documents of the Celestial Dynasty is tantamount to launching a war against the Celestial Empire!"

   "Thank you very much, Messenger!" Toukhan was overjoyed.

   Toukhan's residence is not far away, and he invited the envoys to drink in Yan, and also prepared a grand and lively bonfire dance.

  The next day, Toukhan sent a hundred cavalrymen to **** the envoys to move on, and presented some horses, as well as food such as cattle, sheep, and cheese.

  After the envoys left, Tou Kehan ​​immediately sent people to China, and directly brought his sister with him. He was determined to complete this marriage, and he had to get the help of the Chinese emperor, even if the help was only to increase prestige and fame.

  In another time and space, Toukhan not only unified Zhongyuzi, but even the entire Kazakh Khanate.

  Unfortunately, after he died of illness, the Kazakh Khanate split again and was attacked by Russia and Junggar at the same time.

  The envoy continued on its way and met many Kazakh tribes along the way.

  Due to the ghost weather of the Little Ice Age, these tribes were not very prosperous, and often a major snowstorm would take away countless people and animals. After natural disasters, there must be human disasters, and the various ministries have been fighting all year round, robbing each other of pastures, livestock and people.

   Completely passed through Zhongyuzi's territory, and no other tribal leader took the initiative to contact him.

   No wonder Toukhan was able to unify Kazakhstan, but his political vision was different. The other tribal leaders were all mediocre, unable to understand what the Chinese envoy meant. Only Toukhan had a keen sense of smell. Not only was he the only one who took the initiative to contact him, but he was also in a hurry to marry his sister to the Chinese emperor.

  Come to Xiaoyuzi, it is even more chaotic here.

  The ethnic composition is extremely complex, and it is really a melting pot of races. The khan of Xiaoyuzi still controls the overall situation in name, but each tribe acts on its own.

   Very weak!

   Xiaoyuzi's territory on the east coast of the Caspian Sea was almost swallowed up by the Khiva Khanate.

  More than a hundred years ago, the Khiva Khanate was still the territory of Persia, and the Persian governor was stationed in Khwarazm. After driving away the Persians, the Khiva Khanate experienced decades of war.

   Just when Zhao Han raised his troops, the Khiva Khanate also had a strong man, who unified the country, developed the military and people's livelihood, and frantically annexed the territory of Xiaoyuzi. The new king just succeeded to the throne last year, and he was a strong man, and later even overthrew Peter the Great's expeditionary army.

  Xie Yuan asked for information along the way, and recorded all kinds of news, especially the city and climate.

   "It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books," Xie Yuan said with emotion, "I have gained a lot from this mission. Kazakhstan and the countries in the south have very different customs from European knowledge and materials. I have learned a lot."

  Pang Anguo joked: "People are of different races, and there are orchids everywhere. People here grow up really fast. They seem to be fifteen or sixteen years old, or even seventeen or eighteen years old, but they are only twelve or thirteen years old."

   "I don't know what the area around the Caspian Sea looks like," Xie Yuan said, "If I didn't have a mission, I really want to go all the way to Russia."

  Mr. Envoy, this trip is regarded as a public trip.

  Xiao Yuzi was not threatened, and everyone relaxed a lot, and arrived at the territory of the Turghute Department smoothly.

  Here is the northern shore of the Caspian Sea, and there are many desert areas, and the living environment of the Turghut Department is a bit harsh.

  Aqiyu returned to the tribe’s camp and asked his mother, “Why haven’t I seen many people in the tribe?”

  Mother replied: "Your grandfather and father went to war with soldiers."

   "Who are you fighting with?" Aqiyu asked.

   Mother said: "War with the Russians."
