The city of Khiva did not last as long as the siege of Samarkand, and the coalition led by Tsebakdorzi took the capital of the Khiva Khanate without bloodshed. But this does not mean that the mood of the citizens of Khiva is calm.

You know, not long ago they sent away Iltuzer Khan, and ushered in the accession of Muhammad Rahim Khan to the throne, and then the Great Khan did not even warm up the throne of the Khan, so he hurriedly fled to the shores of the Caspian Sea with his henchmen, and went to the other side by boat, to the arms of the Russians.

The first thing Muhammad Rahim Khan did after ascending the throne was not to resist or to start peace talks with the Northern Seven Khanates, but to hide under the protection of the Russians, which was a very heavy blow to the psyche of the entire Khiva.

After Muhammad Rahim fled, the intelligence officers of the Northern Seven Khanates were almost openly active in the city of Khiva, and in addition to winning over the noble ministers of Khiva, they also released some terrible news from time to time, such as which was turned into a white land by the war, which was turned into a pile of ruins in the war, how many people were killed, and not a single person in the city was killed.

In the midst of such 'gossip', how could the hearts of the citizens of Khiva not be worried? They lived in constant fear for a month or two, until the northern coalition was about to enter Khiva, and the remaining dignitaries in Khiva began to post notices of public surrender and promised that they would not commit any crimes after entering the city.

Autumn is a joke, and the Khivas are not naïve enough to believe it, but it gives them some hope. Even those who fled abroad began to choose to return. The mood of the people in Khiva may be described as the aftermath of the catastrophe. It's hard to imagine how much these civilians would suffer if the flames of war had burned into their city.

As for the glory of the Khanate, the glory of the true God, what is there not to give up at this point?

True piety does not change because of changes in the outside world. These celestial believers can only comfort themselves in this way.

Because they knew very well that the heavens above Shiva could never be changed again.

The sky of Khiva is not the day of the Kazakhs, who does not know that the master of Central Asia is Chen Han? Who else dares to doubt the strength of the Heavenly and Imperial Kingdoms? In this Central Asia, which has always been the size of a fist, the Chen Han Empire has demonstrated its power enough. The mighty Northern Seven Khanates were just a group of watchdogs for the Celestial and Imperial Dynasties. No matter how naïve people are, they won't think that they will have a day to turn the tables around!

Even the mighty Russia was beaten to the ground by China at the beginning, and even the entire heavenly world combined was not China's opponent.

Then such pressure fell on Shiva's head, and they had no choice but to accept their fate.

Led by a group of Khiva officials, Zebok Dorzi led hundreds of façade-filled cuirassiers and swaggered from the south gate to the Khan's palace in Khiva. Hundreds of Khiva elites who greeted Zeberkdorji followed Zeberkdorzi's ass to the Khan's palace, and then knelt down in front of Zeberkdorji one by one.

Tsebok Dorzi was a proud man, but also a man with big roots, he was a descendant of the famous leader of the Turghut tribe, Ayuqi Khan, a cousin of Woba Si Khan, and one of the important core figures of the Turghut tribe. When the Turks were in Tsarist Russia, the Russians reorganized Zargu and appointed Tsebok Dorzi as the head of Zargu. The aim was to make Zargu an institution that could compete with the Khan's power. That is, St. Petersburg chose Zeberkdorzi as a pawn against Worbasil.

Acting as a slave to Russia, a traitor to the Turghuts, and a fork in the road of alliance with Wobasi Khan against Tsarist Russia, Zeberk Dorji chose the latter. The position of Wobasi was unshakable, but in the present-day Turghut Khanate, Tsebakdorji was also the vice-king of the powerful khanate. Moreover, it is a status recognized by Nanjing, and a status that can be passed on to future generations.

The vice-kings of the four Mongol khanates were all raised by the Turgat Khanate.

Tsebakdorzi laughed, turned over and dismounted, and lifted Yadgarh and Abhaqi, who were kneeling on the ground, the uncle and brother of Muhammad Rahim Khan, the younger brother and son of Irtuzel, and the supreme chief of the Kongrad royal family in Khiva: "Rise up and speak! ”

As he spoke, Zebekdorzi carefully looked at the two of them, Yadgarh was an old acquaintance of him, this man was the foreign minister of the Khiva Khanate, and had made several previous missions to the Northern Seven Khanates. Abhaqi was the Minister of Commerce and Industry of Khiva, but he did not have the slightest intersection with Zebekdorzi.

Although I was scared for a long time before, I still have a good bearing now.

Although the Khiva Khanate would be annexed by the Kazakhs, they would not be destroyed, and Nanjing had promised that they and their families would soon move to Nanjing, and although they lost their rights, they would still be able to retain some of their wealth and live like ordinary wealthy merchants in Nanjing.

There will be some restrictions on the children and grandchildren they already have, but the next generation will be able to have all the rights and interests of a Chinese national.

As the 'generals of the defeated army', what else are Yadgarh and Abkhaqi not satisfied with?

The most tragic thing here is that of Saeed Alim, the eldest son of Muhammad Rahim Khan and a general in the new army of Khiva, who was wounded on the battlefield and left Muhammad Rahim in Khiva when he fled, and was in charge of staying behind and controlling all the defenders of Khiva.

Now Sayyid Alim's physical wounds have healed, but he is very depressed mentally, his face is gray, his eyes are dull, and his robe is empty as if it is one size bigger. The spirit of the whole person has collapsed, and he looks like a wasted person.

The cavalry behind Zebekdorji all dismounted and stood solemnly. They are very proud!

Because this is a war to destroy the country.

As a soldier, it is a great honor to experience a war to destroy the country.

One by one, the aristocratic officials of Khiva bowed their heads, and none of them dared to face Zebok Dorji. Zeberk Dorji saw this scene very clearly, and this is what he wanted!

He is not a barbarian who doesn't understand bullshit, after the Turks surrendered to Chen Han, their heads, and even the heads of the later Seven Khanates, were deducted more than once by some people in the interior of Chen Han, and he knew what it meant to be 'literati sinister' and 'afraid of power but not virtuous'.

Although the six words of the latter were very uncomfortable for the head of the Turgat Khanate, in the same way, these six words were very suitable for the head of the Southern Three Khanates. In the eyes of Zebok Dorzi, if the Southern Three Khanates had not fought a battle on the battlefield and lost a battle, and were beaten miserably, even if the 'barbarians' of Khiva had voted for Han, they would have been half-hearted.

Here in Central Asia, there will be a life-and-death battle in less than 20 years.

Chen Han's decisive battle with Russia!

If Chen Han were defeated in that battle, their own interests would not be lost, but the Seven Khanates, especially the Mongol Four Khanates, would suffer. Therefore, the Southern Three Khanates must be honest, and their Seven Khanates must purge the Southern Three Khanates in the shortest possible time and turn this vast land into food for their own growth.

In this way, they can give the greatest support to the kingdom in the future decisive battle of fate.

And if the upper country can win against Russia, will they be able to cross the Ural River with their footsteps?

This is a matter of life and death for the Seven Khanates, and if you can't let these Yidi be completely tamed, it is better to kill them all!

This thought arose not only in the mind of Zeberkdorzi, but also in the minds of the entire Seven Khanates.

In an instant, countless thoughts passed through Zebekdorzi's mind, and Yadgarh was heard whispering: "Your Highness, we have finally come to look forward to you, if you come a little later, this city of Khiva will be in chaos." ”

Yadgar was well aware of Zeberkdorzi's character, pride, and these two words had been carved into his bones.

Zebekdorzi knew that this was a compliment, but he still couldn't help but smile and let go of the hand holding Yadgarh: "The reason why Shiva City can be preserved is not because of me, but by the two of you. ”

"News has come from Nanjing, Your Majesty is very satisfied with the abandonment of the two of them, and another holy decree will be issued in the near future. The two of them will ...... later"

Zeberk Dorzi's words made the hundreds of Shiva nobles and officials present full of joy, listening to Zeberk Dorji's meaning, Chen Han Tianzi will also reward Yadgar and Abhaqi! This is a great grace. With this grace, they also have peace of mind.

Though this grace was given to Adgarh and Abkhazi, it was not given to Khiva or to them?

"Your Majesty is mighty." Adgar's lips quirmed, as if he had just recovered from his surprise.

The city of Nanjing even praised him and Abhaqi with gifts, which was a good thing that Yadgarh could not have imagined. And with this holy decree, Yadgarh and Abhaqi's life in Nanjing will be much better.

As he spoke, he took the holy decree from the entourage beside him, waved it in front of Yadgarh and Yadgarh, and said with a smile: "This is Your Majesty's will for you to surrender, the Son of Heaven will give you the surname of Han, Yadgarh and Abhaqi have also been knighted, and the emperor's grace is great." Don't forget it later! ”

The language spoken by Zebok Dorzi was Chinese, which many of the Khiva nobles and officials present could not understand, and had to be preached by another interpreter.

"Central Asia is the place where the Celestial Religion spreads. Your Majesty has no rejection of the heavens, and after you Khivas surrendered, this faith is still faith. As long as it complies with the laws and regulations of the Kazakh Khanate, it is not a problem. "The government agencies of the Seven Khanates are all set up to study Chen Han, so what kind of academic affairs bureau and corresponding laws and regulations have also been copied by them, and only need to make some minor modifications.

Is Chen Han practicing freedom of belief?

Whether it's the Buddha or the Sanqing, or the Jade Emperor and God, or the true god or something, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. As long as you don't end up in the Vatican, you don't be loyal to the caliphate, you're not loyal to Buddhism.

In the future, Central Asia will still spread modern civilization, and Confucian classics can also be used as extracurricular reading materials. Anyway, you can't use that scripture as a textbook to recite and read over and over again.

After the incense table is placed, you can immediately kneel to receive the holy decree. However, there are some things that Tsebok Dorji had better make clear with Yadgarh and Abkhaqi before the decree.

Neither Nanjing nor the Northern Seven Khanates were too exploitative and oppressive of the Southern Three Khanates, and they did not move much except for the necessary reasonableness. But there are still some taboos. Don't kill yourself!

This is the relationship between the conqueror and the vanquished.
