Nasir al-Din Khan stroked his chest and saluted to Zuo Zongtang, the governor of Xinjiang, the secretary of the Imperial Academy, the secretary of the military department, and the first-class prince Zuo Zongtang, who was also in charge of military affairs in Qinghai and Gansu, "Nasirdin, a small foreign vassal country, greets His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Empire, and the governor is well." ”

"Holy Wan'an," Zuo Zongtang gestured to the east, "King Khan, please take a seat." ”

That Xiucai was frightened by the cold and displeased eyes of the Governor, he was in a cold sweat, his legs trembled, and he finally moved behind Nasir al-Din Khan, Zuo Zongtang spoke slowly, "Your Majesty, please sit down too." ”

Xiucai slowly moved to the position below Nasir al-Din Khan, Zuo Zongtang was very unhappy, Xinjiang was finally safe for a few days, and it was this self-defeating person in front of him who brought this unlucky ghost to the east of the trouble!

The so-called saint is angry and can't make a face, although Zuo Zongtang is unhappy in his heart, he only shows it in that eye, the feudal officials who live in eight seats will not show their dissatisfaction, wait until the two of them sit down, the guards serve tea, Zuo Zongtang took a sip, and said slowly, "What is the purpose of the lord of the country asking to see this time?" ”

"I beg the Celestial Empire to send troops, no, please ask the Governor to send troops," Nasir al-Din Khan stood up and pleaded, "The Russians have bullied Kokand, and the small country cannot be hostile to it, and now the Celestial Empire is in trouble, and the lower kingdom is very uneasy, so I beg the Governor to send troops and reason with the Russians to expel the Russians, the small country of Kokand is willing to submit to the Celestial Empire for generations, and will never rebel." ”

Zuo Zongtang half-closed his eyes, "The Chinese system is different from your country, local officials are not allowed to send troops or negotiate with foreign countries without central orders, this is the law, moreover," Zuo Zongtang said lightly, "Your country has been called a vassal for several generations, but it has no intention of surrendering, the old Zhang Ge, the previous Agu Bai, this is all from your country," Zuo Zongtang also covered the second half of the sentence: If it comes to the ambitions of China's northwest land, the Russians are the first, and this Kokand ranks second, absolutely no one has an opinion.

"This is by no means the mainstream of our country," Nasir al-Din Khan eagerly explained, he saw things clearly, "the reason why Kokand is prosperous is only because it happens to be at the throat of China and Russia, not because of his own national prosperity, and the old Khan also realized this, taking advantage of your lordship to pacify Aguba, he personally took Aguba to Beijing to ask for guilt, and even withdrew from the east of the sea to clarify the boundaries between the two countries." Nasir al-Din Khan's face showed a sad look, "Before the old Khan died, he never forgot to be subordinate to the east, and he ordered me to be loyal to the Celestial Empire and do a good job of the northwest barrier of the Celestial Empire. ”

In fact, the Khan King who committed suicide before had nothing to do with him, but the people elected him as the Khan King, but Zuo Zongtang did not break the matter, but just said, "The center has no order, and this seat cannot act rashly." ”

"Then the Russians invaded the east of the Yibo Sea, approached Ili, and drank the Ili River, which violated the majesty of the Celestial Empire! The Governor guards the northwest, how can he treat it ordinarily? That Xiucai saw that the lord of Kokand was poor in words, and hurriedly jumped out, "It is the responsibility to defend the territory, and now if you can't expel the Russians from Xinjiang, I'm afraid that the adults will not be able to escape their responsibility." ”

None of the lamps that can mix in foreign countries are fuel-efficient...... For example, cough cough, Zuo Zongtang snorted coldly in displeasure, "This seat has already sent someone to negotiate this matter, maybe the Russian cavalry is just lost, and when I declare it to him, they will inevitably retreat." The subtext in the words is that there are other things, and he can't control it.

"The west of the sea is the land of Kokand, the Russians are cruel, the Kokand country looks up to the heavenly dynasty like a long drought and a rain, and the Kokand country and the tribes in the east of the sea believe in Islam, all of them are Kazakhs, the great changes in Kokand will inevitably affect the territory of Xinjiang, not to mention whether Russia will continue to invade Xinjiang, and the future refugee turmoil will inevitably affect the Tuntian policy that the governor is now implementing, it is related to the plan of Xinjiang, and the adults have to check it."

When it comes to the ability to push Tai Chi, a hundred Kokand lords and a hundred Xiucai are not comparable to Zuo Zongtang, an old fritter who has been fighting in the battlefield and political arena for many years, Zuo Zongtang just blindly shirks, Nasil al-Din Khan gritted his teeth, knowing that if he does not show something practical, I am afraid that the Chinese will never be moved. Regardless of the identity of the vassal lord, he knelt down on one knee, "The lower kingdom has prepared the fold," Nasir-al-Din Khan took out a notebook from his sleeve, covered with parchment, faintly a map, Xiucai took it and presented it to Zuo Zongtang's case, Zuo Zongtang looked at the book, his eyes instantly became fascinated, "As long as the Celestial Empire administers justice for Kokand, the Kokand Kingdom is willing to use the map version to surrender to the land!"
