The royal city of the stone fortress of Dzungar is the city of Tashkent, which means stone city in Uzbek. The name Stone Town does not come from the stone walls, but from the huge pebbles that are very common outside the city. Tashkent is also an ancient city with a long history, which appeared as early as the 2nd century BC and is supposed to be a product of the Hellenism of Central Asia. Later, it became a necessary stop on the Silk Road, and thus became prosperous. But by the time the Sangha army arrived at Tashkent, the stone walls built in the Hellenistic era were long gone, and the city's prosperity was long gone.

In the face of the Mongol invasion, the local Uzbek nobles showed great courage and resisted to the end, and the city was almost razed by the flames of war.

The Dzungars, who had already begun to settle down in the city, soon discovered the city's excellent geographical location and climatic conditions, which were located in the heart of an oasis in the Chilchik Valley, a tributary of the Syr Darya River on the right bank, and not far from the main stream of the Syr Darya River, surrounded by fertile farmland and pastures. By holding Tashkent, the Dzungars would be able to control a large area of arable land that was rare in Central Asia.

In addition, 300 miles upstream along the Syr Darya River is the Ferghana Basin, the richest and most fertile region in Central Asia.

By building a new fortified castle on the ruins of Tashkent, then building another branch city at the confluence of the Chirchik and Syr Darya rivers, and finally taking control of the ancient city of Khujand at the outlet of the Ferghana Basin, the Dzungars would be able to firmly control the wettest and richest part of Central Asia.

What was even more satisfying to the king of Dzungar was that the Chircik valley, where Tashkent is located, and the area on both sides of the middle reaches of the Syr Darya River, had been greatly reduced in population due to years of war. On nearly 40,000 miles (10,000 square kilometers) of land, there is hardly any human population left.

Therefore, after the end of the war to destroy the Bukhara Khanate, King Seng decided to move his royal city from the city of Chu River to Tashkent, and built a stone fortress on the ruins of Tashkent as the capital of the Jungar Kingdom.

A large number of people who cultivated on both sides of the Chu River also moved to the vicinity of the Shibao King City according to the orders of King Sangge, and all of them were allocated fertile land.

As for the Mongolian hinterland of the Jungar Kingdom, it has absorbed a large number of Khalkha Mongols, Korqin Mongols, and Eight Banner Mongols who fled from the east, and the number has exceeded 800,000. These people were divided into 12 thousand households and 120 thousand households by the Sangha king. Among them, 4 10,000 households were Wangting Wanhu, and 8 10,000 households were distributed to Sangge's brothers and uncles, known as Fanzhen Wanhu.

All four royal households were relocated to the vicinity of Tashkent, two along the Chirchik River and two along the Syr Darya River, and each of them was allocated 15,000 miles of land (almost 6 million mu, nearly 100 mu per capita), and began to change from nomadic herding to semi-farming and semi-pastoralism.

Among the remaining 8 feudal towns and 10,000 households, there are also two "10,000 households in the city" that are half-cultivated and half-pastoral, and one belongs to Galdan and is placed in Chuhe City. An uncle who had returned to the Sangha was placed on the plain on the left bank of the Syr Darya River, guarding the southwest gate of the stone castle and building a castle as the ruling center, which was named Wangshubao.

The other 6 feudal towns and 10,000 households were nomadic 10,000 households, which were placed on the Dayuzi and Zhongyuzi grasslands north of Chuhe Prefecture (the area around Shibao City was called Wangtingfu, and the jurisdiction of Chuhu Ubash was called Wangshufu), which was responsible for suppressing the resistance of the Kazakhs and resisting the eastward invasion of the Rakshasas.

To the north of these six nomadic feudal towns of Wanhu are several tribes located in southern Siberia, sandwiched between the Jungar Kingdom and the Rakshasa Kingdom, which can be regarded as vassals of the Jungar Kingdom.

The largest of these was the Dulbert Division, one of the four tribes of Warat, who were now nomadic in the lower reaches of the Irtysh River, not far from Tomsk, the Rakshasa stronghold in Western Siberia. Since decades ago, the eastward expansion of the Rakshasa kingdom has been trying to bring the four Warats, including the Dzungar tribe, into submission. Now that the Rakshasa tribe has evolved into the Zungar Kingdom, the Rakshasa Kingdom naturally has no ideas, but the Dulbert Department and some other small tribes are still the targets of the Rakshasa Kingdom.

At the same time that the Rakshasa Kingdom was digging the corners of the Zungar Kingdom, the monks who became the kings of Zungar also began to dig the corners of the Rakshasas - sending a lama mission to the Turghut tribe that migrated to the lower reaches of the Volga River to persuade them to submit to the Zungar Kingdom.

In addition, the Kazakhs who were forced to Xiaoyuz by Junggar are also the object of contention between the Rakshasa State and the Jungar State - although the Kazakhs have been defeated repeatedly, they have not stopped resisting, so the Rakshasas have been supporting the Kazakhs to resist, and the Jungar Kingdom hopes to force the Kazakhs of Xiaoyuz to be vassal.

Because of the conflicts between Dzungar and Rakshasa in southern Siberia, in the Xiaoyuz steppe, and in the lower reaches of the Volga River, the contradictions between Dzungar and Rakshasa seem to be difficult to reconcile.

The contradictions between the Jungar Kingdom and the local Heavenly Sect forces in Hezhong were also difficult to reconcile. When they joined forces to destroy the Bukhara Khanate, everyone thought that the kingdom of Dzungar was just to grab a handful and leave - for a long time, the tribes in the Mughestan steppe were like this, and when they didn't eat or drink, they would come to the rich oasis in the middle of the river to grab a little, and leave when they were done.

But this time, the Jungar Kingdom changed its rules and wanted to live in the river for a long time, and also encircled the richest land in the river area. This provoked the Khiva Khanate and the Turkmen tribes (who were originally subject to the Khiva Khanate and the Bukhara Khanate), and they had already discussed how to divide the territory that was now occupied by the Dzungar kingdom.

In particular, the khans of the Khiva Khanate and the Khanate of Bukhara were still clansmen...... Everyone is ready to inherit it, but it was robbed by the Jungger Kingdom, can you not hate?

And this Khiva Khanate because of its proximity to Persia and the Ottomans, can get assistance from these two advanced Celestial countries, so the military strength has not been weak, and now it is the heyday of the Khiva Khanate, and the recently deceased Abulkhaz **** Khan and his heir Anusa Khan can fight well. After determining that the Dzungar state would take root in the Transoxiana region, Anusa Khan began to reconcile with his old enemy Turkmen, sent people to Persia and Ottomans for help, and also contacted Aurangzeb, who occupied Samarkand, to launch a war of gods to defeat the Dzungar kingdom.

As for Aurangzeb, who occupied Samarkand, he didn't look like he was fierce in India, but when he got to the river, he was a good gentleman...... In three days, he sent people to Bukhara (the capital of the Khiva Khanate had been moved from Khiva to Bukhara) and the city of Shibao to give gifts, and also pretended to persuade Anusa Khan to reconcile with the king of Sangha.

So when Shesta. When Khan came to the royal city of Stone Fort with rich gifts, the monk Khan gave him a very high courtesy, personally went out of the city to greet him, and welcomed the Wazir (prime minister) of the Timurid Empire in India into the newly built and very frugal royal palace.

Seeing this palace made of wood and stone, the defense function is very good, but it is definitely not comfortable to live in, Shesta. Khan remembered the Hindustan Emperor - it seems that Aurangzeb and the Sangha were misers who were not willing to spend money!

......

"What? Alamgil wants the king to submit, and does he want the king to convert to the Heavenly Sect? Is he crazy? Does he want to go to war with this king? ”

Happily put Shesta. Khan welcomed him into the palace, and the monk king listened to the envoy of the Timurid state to relate the story of Shesta. If you sweat, you will be annoyed immediately.

"The king is angry," Shesta. Khan heard the roar of the Sangha king, and knew that the Mongol was annoyed without a translator, but he still had something to say, "The king is angry, Alam Gil does not really want you to be his servant, but wants to reconcile the contradictions between you and the Celestial Sect you rule...... Please listen to my explanation.

First of all, the Timurid Empire was the legitimacy of the Transoxiana region, and once you became a vassal of the Timurid Empire, you could rightfully rule Ferghana and the Syr Darya Valley.

Secondly, Alambir also wants to marry his most beautiful daughter, Princess Nissa, to the Great King...... They are also willing to provide you with an annual stipend of 10 million rupees after you and Princess Nissa get married.

Thirdly, your conversion to the Heavenly Sect is only a formality...... It's just to appease the people of the Celestial Sect in the Fergan Basin, and it's also to avoid the war of the gods...... Now that the Khiva Khanate is planning a war of the gods, there is no excuse for the war of the gods if you become a cultist on the surface.

At the same time, the conversion is also to make it easier for you to marry the beautiful, wealthy, and wise Princess Nissa. ”
