20. The sin of wanting to add (3)
After more than 100 years of migration, the suffering of the ancestors has not been forgotten, and it is deeply engraved into the blood of future generations. Many people sang along with Tumudr Khan, and the song spread out of the big tent, and the people outside also sang along, and at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain, the song rose with the mist," ...... Relying on the wisdom of the Great Khan, after a lot of hardship, he returned to his hometown in the Tianshan Mountains, no longer had to look at the faces of the Russians, they had their own pastures, the sheep had fodder, the children smiled, and the people sang and sang, Eternal Heaven, Eternal Heaven! Present Hada to our beloved Emperor of the Celestial Empire, without whom the Turghuts would always be lost lambs! ”
"The Turghut will always be a lost lamb!" The steppe suddenly fell silent, it seemed that everyone was holding their breath, waiting for the news in the big tent, Tumudr Khan looked around at everyone, "The hatred between the Russians and us, even if it is washed away with the water of the sea, it will be difficult to remove, in order to solve such hatred, in order to share the worries of the emperor of the Celestial Empire, the Turks must avenge the people who died in vain!" ”
The Great Elder said, "Honorable Great Khan, who was right just now, the Governor of Ili, I don't know what his attitude is, I'm afraid that if we act without permission, we will blame him, or rather, what if the Great Emperor is to blame?" ”
How could the Great Elder not know the inside of this, just asked like this, in order to solve everyone's doubts, Tumudr Khan nodded, "The Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty invited me to enter Beijing with the Living Buddha Grand Lama of Chenghua Temple, and gave us muskets and artillery, so that we can have the strength to deal with the Russians!" ”
"The imperial court is afraid that it doesn't have any good intentions," a person looked at a few Central Plains men on the side, and said loudly, anyway, it's Mongolian, probably they can't understand it, let's talk about it. What does it matter if you understand, "They want to use us as guns!" Great Khan, we can't stupidly rush ahead, fall for the tricks of the imperial court, the Han people are the most treacherous! Although we are together now, maybe the Han people think that we are too powerful! What he meant in his words. I always felt that the court in Beijing was the court of the Han people, otherwise why did their emperor not live in a tent?
Tumudr Khan shook his head, "We have no other choice, of course, we can choose to slowly degenerate here, we have some of the pastures in this Tianshan Mountain, but there are not enough, there are other tribes on the left and right." I have the emperor of the county, other tribes have less grassland, and I don't dare to say anything, but the pasture is still too little, so little that our tribe is far from being able to continue to maintain, this is a fact, we will not slowly die out in the future. It's to dissipate to other tribes," said Tumudr Khan, a terrible truth. "Everyone knows this, the pastures are getting poorer and poorer, and we have more and more children!"
"How can we expand our pastures without talking to the Russians with knives and guns!" ……
"The son is afraid that he will raise a tiger for trouble...... Emperor Tongzhi was a little hesitant, especially when he was ready to launch the things agreed before. The emperor was a little indecisive, and suddenly felt that this was not too risky, and when he came to Shoukang Palace to ask for peace, he suddenly talked about it again.
It happened to be April, and the palace was ready to pack up and go to the Old Summer Palace. The melodious sound of the warbler outside the window, the Queen Mother saw that Emperor Tongzhi was a little hesitant, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Emperor, do you think that for more than a thousand years in China, why has the vassal paid endless tribute, and did not cut off the vassal courtesy of submitting to the Celestial Empire because China changed hands?" ”
"Naturally, the Celestial Empire is a country of etiquette and a country of gentlemen, so it is admired by all nations." The Queen Mother smiled and said nothing, and the emperor also laughed, "This is the saying of Confucianism, the son naturally doesn't believe it, if you talk about why the vassal affairs of China are obedient, it is naturally the prosperity of the Celestial Empire." ”
This point for the Tongzhi Emperor, felt deeply, his own emperor Ama when the dynasty, Burma Nanzhang Thailand Kokand and other vassal states are not courts, some are forced by the foreigners, do not dare to act, some are consciously strong, and see that China can not quell the rebellion, can not resist the invasion outside, so arrogant, no need to pay tribute to the courtiers. In this way, there are a lot less things to pay tribute to, and there are even more Tusi in southern Tibet, Sichuan, western Yungui and other places are ready to move, and it seems that under a sound, the Celestial Dynasty is about to fall apart.
After quelling the Agubo Rebellion, the lord of Kokand personally entered the court to ask for guilt, so the northwest was slightly settled, and through the stone to enter India, piggyback with a beat of the southwest Tusi and Burma, twice the Beiyang naval division dispatched, shocked the South Seas, stabilized the Ryukyu country, the lord of Sulu came to the court again, so that the vassals returned to the heart a lot, you said that this is the Heavenly Empire to convince people to convince so many vassals to submit, the emperor is not half a point of faith, this is all relying on the national strength.
"Yes, why can you surrender to China, look at China's national strength, simply put, look at the military prestige, culture, culture let's not talk about it for the time being, just say that the military prestige is good, the military prestige is strong, the vassal is the foreigner who dare not despise you, in the past, relying on the warship to come and want to blackmail the silver, it is impossible to happen in the future, the foreigners are like this, the vassal is also the same, whether it is the inner domain or the outer domain, it is the same, if you are strong, they are naturally happy to submit, if you decline, even if you say that no matter how much you care, They won't pay attention to it. ”
Anqian took out all the books that the Queen Mother had read, and the Queen Mother continued, "The Mongols, since the beginning of this dynasty, have always been the best barrier in the north. After the return of the Turks, they have always respected the central government the most, and at the same time, they and the Russians are mortal enemies...... Ahem, no, it was the officers of our twelve towns who went to assist, and gave muskets and artillery, they have these equipment, and it is not easy to harass Russia. ”
"If you are strong, you are not afraid of raising as many tigers as you want," the Queen Mother said with a smile, "If you decline, even if you are a watchdog, you will bite your calf." So it's all in itself, and besides, those things, it's better to give them to the Russians, it's better to give them to your own people, it's better to give them to the Turks! Anyway, at least our own family! ”……
"We have to rush ahead," Tumudr Khan laughed suddenly, "do you know why? ”
Everyone looked at each other, and Tumudr Khan's eyes showed a gleam, "Because, the emperor promised us to raze the north of the sea, and how much land is laid down, how much land belongs to our Turks!" (To be continued.) )
