Chapter 863: Defeat Yarkand
In Baturhun's big tent, the dusty Fan Wencheng traveled thousands of miles and finally met the Great Khan of Zungar.
"Who is he?" Baturhun put down his glass and looked at the monk.
Fan Wencheng himself introduced: "The Great Khan, the contemptible person is Fan Wencheng, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, who came to see the Great Khan on the order of the regent of the Qing Dynasty. ”
Baturhui's face became serious, "Oh, Shi Chen of the Qing Kingdom, what are you doing?" ”
The monk on the side said: "Father Khan, Master Fan is here to discuss with us about jointly dealing with the Wei State!" ”
Batur Hun saw that the attitude of the monks was obviously very supportive of uniting with the Qing to resist Wei, but not long ago, he was still a person who advocated the withdrawal of troops from the Hetao.
"The Western Wei soldiers and horses are strong, first defeated the Gushi Khan of Heshuote, and then defeated your Qing State, this Khan and you join forces to resist Wei, what is the benefit?" Baturhun asked directly.
Fan Wencheng smiled slightly, and gave a direct answer that Baturhun had to agree with, he stretched out a finger, "Great Khan, because the Western Wei Dynasty is rich and rich, this is enough!" ”
"Rich?" Baturhun was slightly stunned, then understood, and couldn't help but glance at the scum of the Han in front of him.
Grazing and looting were the main businesses of the Mongols, and the wealth of the Western Wei was indeed the basis for the cooperation between Junggar and the Manchus.
It's like two gangs of robbers who are targeting a rich family, and one of them can't deal with the rich family's nursing home, and finally decide to join forces to do a vote.
Jungar is strong, after all, they have to find an object to rob, the general forces and tribes are not enough for them to rob, and for generations, the target of the northern nomadic herding is the Central Plains, and only the huge Central Plains can withstand their continuous plunder.
"Haha~" Baturhun smiled, he was moved by this reason, "Come on, set up a banquet, Ben Khan wants to entertain the envoys of the Qing Kingdom!" ”
At that moment, a bonfire was lit in the tent, and newly-slaughtered lambs, and Dzungar women were set up, and mare's milk wine and cut cakes from Yarkand were brought to entertain the guests.
In the tent, the Mongolians danced and toasted Fan Wencheng from time to time, and the atmosphere was very warm.
At this time, Fan Wencheng raised his wine glass: "The Great Khan dominates Moxi and is strong, but it is a pity that he has to live in such an environment. Fan Wencheng glanced at Baturhun's tent, and his face showed regret.
Baturhui's smile froze, and the tent was quiet, but Fan Wencheng said calmly: "Great Khan, the grain in the gate is piled up in hundreds of high warehouses, each of which is bigger than the Great Khan's tent, and the gold, silver and cloth are also full of warehouses, so much that they can't be used up. The Great Khan should have lived in the majestic palace of Guanzhong, counting the money, grain and cloth, and should not have herded sheep on the grassland! In two months it will be the autumn harvest, and I am willing to conspire with the Great Khan to pass the gates. ”
After Baturhun heard this, he stared at Fan Wencheng, suddenly laughed, and entertained him to eat and drink.
At the end of the banquet, Baturhun asked Fan Wencheng to help him to rest, and then left the monk and asked: "You advocated not to conflict with the Western Wei Dynasty before, why do you advocate alliance with the Qing State today?" ”
Monk Ge said: "Father Khan, one person is timid, everyone is timid, the wolves on the steppe are all packs, if you want to eat delicious food, Zhunger needs partners." It is a good thing for us that the Qing State wants to unite with us, but we don't have to listen to them to go directly to the Western Wei, but can use the Qing State to contain the Western Wei and facilitate our sweep away Yarkand. ”
Now Jungar has unified Moxi, forcing other Mongol tribes to submit, with 160,000 tents under his command and a population of 7.8 million.
This population is just a government for the Central Plains, but the Mongols are different from the Central Plains Dynasty, the Central Plains only raise a soldier, and Mongolia as long as it is a man, it is a warrior, should have a population of seven or eight hundred thousand, but there are many people who control the strings, even if there is one person per account, it is also 160,000 people who control the strings.
Although there are many Jungar troops, and Baturhun also covets Yarkand, Baturhun still has doubts about when to send troops.
At this time, he listened to the words of the monk and immediately understood that if Zungar formed an alliance with the Qing State and Zungar attacked Yarkand, the Western Wei would have to weigh the consequences of interfering.
Baturhun smiled on his face, "Ben Khan understands, you want to use the Qing State to contain the Western Wei Dynasty, let Ben Khan take Yarkand and increase his strength." ”
The monk nodded, "Seizing the population and resources of Yarkand, the strength of Jungar will inevitably multiply, and when the time comes, we will unite with the Qing army, enter Guanzhong, live in the palatial palace of the Wei State, and sleep with the women of the Nanren." ”
Baturhui's eyes were blazing, and he suddenly stood up, and then said: "It seems that under the guidance of the Immortal Heaven at this time, Ben Khan is destined to become the Great Khan of Mongolia, restore the glory of his ancestors, and enter the Central Plains!" ”

The Yarkand Khanate was established by the descendants of Chagatai, its territory is very broad, the territory of the strong period, east to Jiayuguan, south of Usizang, west of Yuz, north of the Tianshan Mountains, the territory of the Khanate includes Turpan, Hami, Tarim Basin and other places.
Today, this khanate has existed for more than a hundred years, and like all nations, it has passed through the stage of rise and strength, and is now in rapid decline.
To his east, is the mighty state of Wei, and to the north is the rising Jungar tribe.
These two powerful forces made Abdullah Khan of Yarkand deeply uneasy.
At this time, within Yarkand, the Black Mountain faction and the White Mountain faction fought fiercely.
Under the monotheistic belief, it is not only difficult to tolerate, but also difficult for other faiths, even if they are different factions under the same belief, to coexist, not as harmonious as the Central Plains, so tolerant, Lao Jun, Buddha, and saints all worship.
Now that Yarkand is in turmoil, it is difficult for Abdullah to compete with Wei and Jungar, so after thinking about it, he decided to hug a thigh and pay tribute to Wei, hoping to become the dog of the Great Wei State in name.
Abdullah's decision was well thought out, historically, the Central Plains Dynasty rarely took the initiative to invade other countries and would not harm his interests, while Yarkand made a lot of money and grain by trading with Wei and becoming a second-way dealer.
The northern Dzungar inherited the characteristics of the northern nomadism, they believed in war horses and scimitars, and were addicted to aggression, and once they became bigger, the surrounding areas would inevitably suffer.
In fact, his judgment was accurate, and after more than a decade, Yarkand would be destroyed by Zungar, and after annexing Yarkand, gaining semi-agrarian craftsmen and a relatively stable income, Zungar's power immediately grew, thus challenging the almost unified Manchu Qing Dynasty.
At this time, Wei was in the Western Regions, and with a certain prestige, Abdullah hoped to release a message to Zhunger through tribute, telling Baturhun that Yarkand has a boss, and you had better not fight Yarkand's idea, but Abdullah did not expect that Dzungar also found his own foreign aid.

Yarkand and Dzungar are bounded by the Tianshan Mountains, and at this time, at the foot of the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the herdsmen of Yarkand are grazing on the slopes, and men and women play the piano and sing and dance together.
In the distance, at the foot of the mountain, a ride suddenly appeared, and then another ride over the hillside, followed by dense figures crowding the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, a group of cavalry galloped back and forth, raised their heads and blew the horn, and the low trumpet continued to echo at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.
Baturhun drew his scimitar, pointed forward, and roared loudly, "Conquer Yarkand!" ”
For a time, the cavalry, like mercury, rushed down the hill at the sound of a trumpet.
