Chapter 41: The Turks
At the construction site of Guangming City, a group of new people were recruited, and the language of this group of people, although different from the Kazakhs, is very similar. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chen Wenhua did not relax his vigilance, suspecting that there was something wrong with this group of people, and specially reported Yang Meng in person.
"General, this is a group of Mongolian descendants, they came from the Volga River Valley, and the lower officials suspect that they may be spies sent by the evil country."
Yang Meng said: "Send people to monitor first, pay attention to their every move, and report to General Ben immediately if there is any situation." ”
"Yes, General."
But just a day later, Chen Wenhua came to report again.
"General, the lower officials now don't think they are like spies of the evil country."
"Oh, what did you find?" Yang Meng suddenly became interested, and a day later, Chen Wenhua's point of view changed, there should be a story in this.
Chen Wenhua said: "General, when this group of people came, they dragged their families and mouths, and they all looked mentally exhausted, but yesterday the officials observed and found that this group of people actually wanted to settle in Guangming City. In their words, they looked excited, and they kept mentioning the term 'Turghut', which the lower officials suspected was the Turghuts who had been squeezed out of the Kazakh steppes more than a hundred years ago. ”
"Turgot? Lao Chen, immediately send someone to invite two people over, and General Ben will personally inquire about this matter! ”
Yang Meng stood up suddenly, and his mind suddenly brightened.
The return of the Turks to the east is a famous event in history.
Originally, the Turks also lived in the Kazakh steppe and were a tribe under the rule of the Golden Horde, but later they were constantly suppressed in competition with the Kazakh Khanate and the Dzungar Khanate, so they moved to the Volga River Valley.
However, with the expansion of the Bad Country, the Turks were also affected.
The Bad Countrymen allowed a large number of Cossack immigrants to expand eastward, and the nomadic lands of Turghut were constantly reduced, which meant that the development of animal husbandry in Turghut was restricted.
And militarily, the people of the evil country treat the Turks even more inappropriately.
The government of the bad country imposed a hostage system on the Turks, with the aim of controlling the Turks and obeying the tsar's command.
In the 18th century, the evil state struggled to control access to the sea.
As the invading forces of the evil countries continued to expand, there were more and more wars, among which there was a long war with the Ottoman Empire.
The aggressive conscription also led to a sharp decline in the number of young people in the tribe, and many of them fell victim to the foreign expansion of the evil state, dying on the battlefields of the Ottoman Empire and Northern Europe.
The evil country, which was desperately expanding, needed more Turk troops to participate in the new war, and needed Turkut cavalry to suppress the peasants who could not bear the heavy taxes and revolted; to control religious dissidents, such as quelling the rebellion of the Bashkirs who believe in Islam; to curb the unstable other surrounding nomads; Go to the war in Europe. During the Tun Loblash and Wobasi periods, sending troops to help the war became a heavy burden for the khanate.
However, the declining population and economic decline of Turghut could no longer meet the frequent conscription of the bad country.
At the end of the 17th century, at the height of the Turgot Khanate, the Turkuts had a total of 70,000 accounts, including the Nogai people, who were the vassals of Ayuqi Khan.
By the 60s of the 18th century, there were only 41,523 Turgots in tents.
The Evil Nation's demand for Turkut cavalry was constantly growing, and even the Turkut Ulus were forced to fight long distances regardless of their own safety, which put a heavy burden on the Turkuts.
At that time, the Bade State requisitioned the young men of the Turghat Khanate to serve as the army of the Bade State to fight the Ottoman Empire, and in the middle of the war, the Turghat army suffered heavy casualties.
Moreover, this war has been fought for 21 years, and every time the Turks go to 100,000 people, they almost come back from the war, and almost 10,000 or 20,000 people come back from the war.
In order to continue the blood of the tribe, the Turks finally chose to migrate thousands of miles, and under the leadership of Wubasi Khan, they resolutely chose to return to the Great Qing Kingdom.
This is the famous incident of the return of the Turks to the east in history.
Now it seems that they are already on the move, and the news of the defeat of the evil army by the expeditionary force has most likely spread to the Volga valley.
And these people are most likely sent by the Turks to fight the front station.
Of course, Yang Meng welcomed the arrival of the Turks, who laid down such a large territory and needed a large number of people to fill it, and the number of Turghots was estimated to be about 300,000.
In this way, this has a great sense of balance for the governance of Guangming City, and with the Turks holding it back, the Kazakhs should not be able to make any big waves.
After Chen Wenhua received the order, he brought a man and a woman after a while.
"Archim the Turks, see the general!"
The two saluted calmly.
Yang Meng was overjoyed, it seems that the guess is right, these people are indeed Turks.
"Excuse me, please be seated!"
Yang Meng said politely.
"Thank you, General!"
After thanking Yang Meng, the two sat down.
Yang Meng asked, "What is the situation of the Turghat Khanate now?" Your Great Khan is Ayuqi Great Khan, right? How is he now? ”
Knowing a little about this history, Yang Meng remembered that there seemed to be a Great Khan of Ayuqi, who was an outstanding leader of the Turks.
The man Aqimu said: "General Lao is worried about his father Khan!" To tell the truth, below is the third prince of the Turgot Khanate, Aqimu. ”
"Oh, it turned out to be the third prince, and General Ben was snubbing!" Yang Meng was a little surprised, this Aqimu turned out to be a prince, but after a long journey, he was already down, and he actually came to work as a construction worker here.
Aqimu said: "General, the situation in the Khanate is not very good now, the armies of the evil people are constantly invading our territory, their weapons are very advanced, we have fought several battles with them, although it is not a complete defeat, but there is no chance of victory. Father Khan sent me to the east, trying to contact the Qing Dynasty, I didn't expect the general to be so brave, he actually killed the Ural River, and begged the general to march into the Volga River valley immediately. ”
Yang Meng nodded again and again and said, "Okay!" Turghut is also a part of my China, this general will naturally not sit idly by, the evil country people are ambitious, not only want to annex your Turghut Khanate, but also want to invade our Qing Dynasty, this expedition of this general, is to teach the bad country people a lesson, with your help, why worry about the big thing? Someone, General Chuanben ordered: immediately notify the three forward divisions, and after taking the mouth of the Ori River, immediately rush to the Volga River valley and attack the evil countrymen somewhere! ”
"Yes, General!"
Esan, the newly promoted leader of the pro-army, took the order loudly and left.
Aqimu also stood up and said, "Aqimu thank you General!" ”
