Chapter 204: The Four-Nation Alliance

Back at Kulongle, Gao Junshan imprisoned more than 500 Rakshasa captives along with those he had previously captured.

Then he sent Li Dingguo to lead a regiment of troops to follow Auri Yilan to take over Yakutsk.

Yakutsk was founded in 1632 by the Rakshasa Kingdom on the right bank of the Lena River, and was the stronghold of the Rakshasa Kingdom's eastward expansion into northeastern Asia and to the Pacific coast.

According to Aolei Yilan, Yakutsk was an empty city, and after the high mountains cut off the Rakshasa from trade to Siberia, the East Slavs stationed in Yakutsk were left without provisions.

The first to be affected are the lowest soldiers, if the food can't be delivered, there will be no food, even if you are iron-beaten, without food, you are just a pile of rotten grass. Therefore, they can't eat, and many of the soldiers who rebel are fleeing, and they don't have the ability to rebel, so when these soldiers are so hungry that they can't do it, they all flee.

As the saying goes, rats have a way of rats, and snakes have a way of snakes, and they either went to the sea to become pirates, or went to the mountains to become bandits.

Gao Junshan sent a regiment of troops to undertake the task of suppressing bandits.

Blocking the Rakshasa Kingdom's transportation and trade in Siberia cut off the clutches of the Eastern Slavs reaching out to East Asia.

In January 1647, Gao Junshan telegraphed to the civil and military officials in the capital that the entire Siberian region was included in the territory of the Huaxia Kingdom, and this region was named Xijiang, and Yakutsk was renamed Xijing.

After receiving this good news, the capital was boiling. Gao Junshan commissioned the Ministry of Rites to draft an edict in the name of the emperor to announce the good news to the world.

In February, the ownership of Xinjiang (including the territory of the Lesser Yuz Khanate) and Western Xinjiang was recognized by Sweden, Poland, and Lithuania, as well as the Kingdom of Persia.

Sweden, Poland, and Lithuania were the old enemies of the Rakshasa kingdom, and Gao Junshan shocked the Rakshasa army in Xinjiang and western Xinjiang provinces, and they sent envoys to the Huaxia state to form an alliance with the Huaxia state.

Gao Junshan wrote letters in reply to Queen Christina of Sweden and King Sigismund III of Poland and Lithuania, agreeing to an alliance with them and inviting them to hold a covenant assembly at Balkashchi on July 18, 1647.

Balkhash Lake is the natural dividing line of the northwest border of ancient China since the Han Dynasty, the place where the ethnic groups of northwest China have been active in previous dynasties, and is the boundary lake between the Huaxia Kingdom and the Rakshasa Kingdom.

The high mountains also invited Abbasid II of the Persian kingdom. Abbasid II was Gia's cousin and had taken over the throne from Abbasid I five years earlier (1642).

Abbasid I, the grandfather of Giyah, was a formidable character: during his reign, he created a standing army, regained much of the lost territory, and brought the Persian kingdom to its peak.

When he ascended the throne, it was at a time of internal and external troubles, and the internal Turkmen tribal leaders were tyrannical and arrogant; Externally, the Ottoman Empire and the Uzbek Khanate, two powerful neighbors, constantly invaded the country. Abbasid I reduced the number of Kizelbash ("red-headed" armies) to be requisitioned from various Turkmen tribes to create a standing army.

The standing army was absolutely loyal to the king. Among them, the cavalry was mainly composed of prisoners of war who had converted to Islam in Georgia, Armenia and other places and their descendants, called the guram (slaves) of the royal family, which were actually personal soldiers; There were also riflemen and artillerymen recruited from the peasants.

Abbasid I relied on a standing army to eliminate the conspiratorial and disobedient leaders of Kizelbashi. In 1598, he defeated Uzbekistan at Herat and regained Khorasan, and then moved the capital from Qazvin to Isfahan. In 1603~1612, he fought against the Ottoman Empire and recovered the lost territory from Azerbaijan in the north to Baghdad in the south; In 1622, the Portuguese island of Hormuz on the Persian Gulf was recovered. In the same year, the Mughal Empire was defeated and Kandahar was occupied. He built mosques, seminaries, public baths, squares and boulevards in Isfahan, where envoys and merchants from all over the world gathered, and the capital flourished like never before.

At this time, the Persian kingdom reached its heyday, becoming a vast empire that ruled from the Tigris River in the west to the Indus River in the east.

By the time Abbasid II took over the throne, the Persian kingdom was trading with Europe on an even larger scale than it had been under Abbasid I, but it was threatened by the Ottoman Empire. In order to defend his homeland, Abbasid II was seeking foreign aid.

It was at this time that Gao Junshan sent Shair back to China and made contact with Abbasid II. When Abbasid II heard that the Chinese army had inflicted heavy losses on the Eastern Slavs in the Far East, he decided to seek the support of the Chinese state, and of course, he also recognized the demarcation of the Chinese state in the Far East.

Li Dingguo, who was stationed in Xijing (Yakutsk), successfully occupied the city without encountering resistance, and when Gao Junshan ordered him to develop into several border cities around it, he was faced with the dilemma of insufficient troops.

Because the western frontier is indeed too big, fortunately, now there is a transmitter, and orders can be issued quickly in a vast area.

Gao Junshan transferred the Second Army Division, which had just been formed in the capital, to Xinjiang to strengthen the defense here, and ordered Li Dingguo to bring all the First Army Division into Western Xinjiang (Siberia) and speed up the removal of the remnants of the Rakshasa Kingdom.

In Western Xinjiang, with the firm support of the Daur people, Ao Lei Yilan was appointed by Gao Junshan as the political envoy of Xijing Youbu (equivalent to the deputy provincial level), which was the first female political envoy of Huaxia and the first political envoy of an ethnic minority in Huaxia.

The Tu people also warmly welcomed the Huaxia Kingdom to govern them, because the barbaric behavior of the Rakshasa Kingdom was too disappointing to the Tu people, and the arrival of the army of Gao Jun Mountain brought them considerable benefits. Because wherever the army of Gao Junshan hit, the transport team of the logistics department also followed up, and the abundant materials transported by the logistics department not only supplied the troops, but also partially solved the living difficulties of the local residents.

Pacifying the people is what every part of the army in the high mountains must do.

One day in March, Gao Junshan was in the military tent to deal with affairs, and Sun Kewang came in to report that Shayl had returned.

"Hurry up and invite him in!" Gao Junshan said excitedly.

Before he could finish speaking, Shayl appeared in front of his eyes.

"Your Majesty!" When Shair saw the high mountains, he bowed.

Gao Junshan hurriedly helped him up: "Hurry up, please get up, you are our hero!" ”

As early as when the Marine Brigade reached the shores of the Aral Sea, Gao Junshan sent Shair back to Persia from the Aral Sea. He was Gao Junshan's liaison officer to the Persian kingdom, and because Shair gave a detailed account of the situation in China in front of the king of the Persian kingdom, Abbasid II was inclined to the kingdom of China.

Shair told King Abbasid II about the fact that Jiya had become the imperial concubine of the Chinese kingdom, and the king was pleased and invited Gemma Suena back to the Persian province.

Now, Gao Junshan asked Shair to get up and speak, but Shayr couldn't kneel for a long time.

Shail said: "Your Majesty, the subordinates can no longer serve Your Majesty!" ”
