"Oh! When they heard the word grain, everyone raised their voices and seemed to understand something. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoActually, relying on the operation of food to interfere in the affairs of other tribes, the Hechiti tribe can be said to be familiar with it, and of course it is not tired of it.

I remember that when the Turks encountered a white plague, the Hechiti tribe at that time relied on food, and they were stunned to get great benefits from the Turks, which also indirectly caused a bloody storm. However, it cannot be denied that it was precisely because of this that the Hechiti tribe amassed enough strength to eventually be able to annex it in the war with Turgot.

Unlike other aristocrats who only know how to express themselves, or simply seem to understand what they don't understand. The two advisors that Burhan relied on, Aditya and Liu Dingchen, saw the Khan's original intentions.

Liu Dingchen shook his head and said with a little taste: "Wonderful! What is the war fighting for? Not logistics yet? For this, Liu Dingchen and Guo Wei, who are Han, are deeply convinced.

Liu Dingchen also said: "In recent years, the Tushetu Khan Department has been plagued by drought, and the entire grassland has not rained for several years in summer and autumn, and most of the tribes are concentrated in the two rivers nomadic (Setun River and Orkhon River Basin), and the overall strength is not as good as before. Of course, the supply of supplies for the army is naturally insufficient.

Without enough food supplies, even if there are more soldiers on the front line, it will be in vain. And if Erek is to give up the pasture of Kobdo-Benchagan, I am afraid that he will be unwilling. Not to mention that the people do not agree, even Erek himself probably does not want to do so.

The threat of Khalkani forced Erek to plan ahead for Gunbu. Whether it's the Urat Mountain Ranch or Kobdo, it will be where he will settle down. Therefore, neither Erek nor Gunbu will give up easily. Then they will have to fight until the Dzungar Ministry is soft. And during this period, the only thing that threatened him the most was food. Even if the army doesn't need it, the people can't starve to death, right? ”

After Liu Dingchen's explanation, everyone's faces showed joy again, and Aditya added from the side:

"There is probably no one in Dzungaria who knows the situation better than me. Although they were sometimes short of food, the Yarkand Khanate was able to provide them with enough food to get what they needed for a year if they were patient enough to grab it. At this, Aditya's eyes lit up with hatred. Fortunately, the kung fu he has cultivated in the past two years has only been fleeting. If you want revenge, you must first protect yourself.

"Even so! At the end of the war, they will inevitably fall into a crisis of food shortage. This is a good time for us, and how many slaves will we have to exchange for the food they desperately need! Listening to the analysis of Aditya and the others, Batu Bagen couldn't hold back his excitement. He is still proud of the slave trade, and this is another great opportunity, how can he miss it? It is more tempting to increase the population than to have an extra pasture.

"You're all right, but you haven't hit the nail on the head yet!"

"What?" The ministers were at a loss, could it be that the Great Khan had any other deep meaning in it? I saw that Burhan said domineeringly: "How can you allow others to sleep soundly under the couch?" Hetao, the future is the place where I will be the foundation of the Chiti Ministry, and I have a gap with the Khalkani, and the final result can only be that there is no one and no other. Erek is old, and Gunbu is not in the climate. In the future, it is only possible to control the direction of the wind of Tushetu Khan's army, so it is impossible for Ben Khan to leave such an unstable factor that threatens the development of the Hetao. And if you want to make Tushetu Khan powerless to threaten, then let her shed the last drop of blood! ”

After listening to Burhan's words, Liu Dingchen and the others couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. With the victory of the Hechiti tribe in the war against the Taobu, Burhan's ambitions actually expanded again, and this time it was probably calculated by the Tushetu Khan department. Hiss! ... If this is the case, it means that the Tushetu Khan may have been in the Burhan hub as early as the time of the alliance, so isn't Kobdo a bait? Thinking of this, Liu Dingchen didn't look surprised, but became more calm.

Aditya stood up and said, "Great Khan! Can the minister infer this? In the future, our Hechiti Ministry will definitely participate in this matter, but we will not send troops, at least not until the situation is clear, but will provide grain and grass to the Tushetu Khan Department to profit from it? I don't know what is wrong with what the minister said? ”

At this moment, Burhan squinted and smiled, "That's exactly what it means!" Therefore, we must vigorously reclaim the farmland, and when we are self-sufficient in food, we will be able to influence the two wars! Hahaha! ”

The ministers looked at each other and smiled and said, "Haha! Unconsciously, Harakhura and Erek were already in a sweat, I wonder how the two would feel if they knew? ”

can't be complacent at any time, and Geng Despise appropriately expressed his concerns. "If that's the case, the 200,000 acres of land now are far from enough, I'm afraid that even my Hechiti Department is barely self-sufficient, and where can I get extra food for the Tushetu Khan Department? Do you have to rely on the Ming Court? ”

For this, Burhan already had a calculation "So! This time, if we are to trade with the Tushetu Khan, we will only need war horses and real money. We have to exchange these things for the people in the Ming court, and with the people, there will be more food. Burhan had a fruitful picture in his mind, the people were happily reaping the fruits of a year's labor, and the wheat fields were so clear that they could not see the edge.

Although the fact that most Mongolian nobles were no longer exchanging slaves was a little regrettable, the Han Chinese were also good. During the period of Altan Khan, didn't it rely on the 200,000 Han people in Eilechuan to provide them with food, which made the Tumut Department prosperous and prestigious?

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

For Yi and Burhan is right, the battle between the two steppe giants of the Tushetu Khan and the Dzungar is a few months, during which the Tushetu Khan is almost pressed and beaten without the strength to fight back, from the beginning of the Kobdo periphery until the Benchagan camp can be considered to stabilize the position.

In the ears of Tushetu Khan, Erek was angry. Because Gunbu's letter begins with a mention that his Tushetu Khan has taken full control of the area around Benchagan, the tribe will be able to graze in Benchagan this summer. However, a few days later, a letter came saying that the entire camp of Benchagan had been sacked, that the army of 4,000 had survived with less than 1,000 men of Dasitai, and that 3,000 people had been plundered. Erek was almost blown up, just in time for Gunbu to call for help, and the matter had already been figured out. Although Erek did not allow Gunbu to go deep into Kobdo too early, this time it was the Dzungars who provoked it first, so the Tushetu Khan was even more unbearable. As a result, tens of thousands of troops under the command of Tushetu Khan marched in under the command of Gunbu and fought against the Dzungars for several months, and the two sides were inseparable, and the war entered the stage of confrontation. The war must end as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be good news for both sides, the Dzungar tribe is better, it has been relatively stable over the years, especially the trade between the Hechiti tribe and the Persians has made the life of the Dzungar tribe better and better, but the Tushetu tribe is in trouble.

Because the coming winter will become the biggest threat to the Tushetu Khan, due to the war, most of the food and materials of the Tushetu Khan are supplied to the front, and now the tribe is showing signs of food shortage. This means that this winter, the Tushetu Khan will face widespread famine. Compared with the Tushetu Khan Ministry, the Dzungar Ministry's life was much more leisurely. Most of their grain was plundered from the Yarkand Khanate, and the vulture slaves could grow enough wheat for them.

Therefore, when Erek sent people to negotiate peace, although he was not very urgent, he also wanted to end the war as soon as possible, and he only put forward one condition, that is, the Tushetu Khan tribe withdrew from the Kobdo-Benchagan pasture, but this matter was rejected by the envoys of the Tushetu tribe. How could the embarrassed and angry Harahura swallow this breath? So the two divisions continued the war until the first snowy night of winter, when Gunbu's general Hagel led 3,000 elite cavalry, bypassed the blockade of the Dzungar Ministry, and finally arrived at the material transfer station of the Dzungar Ministry in Altai, and burned the materials inside. Although only Hagel and more than 100 others survived in the end, their sacrifice was worth it.

The material transfer station was burned, how could Harahura not be angry? "Rubbish! It's all waste. The material transfer station in the rear will actually be attacked by the Tushetu people? Three thousand, just three thousand, are you ashamed? ”

was scolded by Harahu, and all the generals in the big tent bowed their heads in shame.

Batur Hun Taiji was a little embarrassed by his father's words, and said angrily: "It's all to blame on the damn Toduo, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have fought with the Tushetu Khan Department, and naturally there wouldn't be so many things." ”

When the nobles think about it, they are worthy of being a person with bad luck. Wherever he is, there will be no peace. And Toduo was buttoned by such a big hat, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly knelt down and said, "Honorable Great Khan! Since the villain took refuge in the Dzungar Ministry, he has been diligent and diligent, and he is also loyal to the Great Khan.

"Enough! Now is not the time to hold anyone accountable, the most urgent question now is what to do? "No one can offend the majesty of Harakhurat in Dzungaria.

"Naru! You said. ”

"Ugh! "Naru is the chief of staff of Harakura, and advises him. Although he was very familiar with Harahura, it was also a little chilling to hear him call his name suddenly. Because, every time he made an idea to Harakura, he would be viciously hated by Batur Hundtaiji, so he would not normally give advice to the Great Khan in public, except today.

"It's settled!" Naru said this, which surprised Harakura, and Batur Hundtaiji even scolded directly, "You damn Kirgiz, negotiate peace? Do you know what it means to negotiate peace? My Dzungar department has lost tens of thousands of soldiers in battle, and more than half of the food has been lost, is this how you made suggestions? ”

Naru looked at the Khan with an innocent look, but he covered his face with his hands, apparently thinking that this was a bad idea.

"Alright! Then there is nothing to say, only to fight. Oh! There must be people who say, "What are we going to fight?" More than half of the food has been destroyed, and winter is about to begin, but the unpredictable climate here is really worrying. Naru's words interrupted some people's pampering thoughts.

"We're going to fight, but we have to do two things. First of all, please ask the Great Khan to order the rations of all the Dhyuls in our territory to be collected, believing that these guys will have enough food to last us until next summer, of course, on the premise of not fighting. ”

Batur Hun Taiji smiled: "Oh! Again, this is a bad idea. Thou hast collected all the grain of the dwarf people, and thou hast not feared that they will rebel? Once there are no more of these vultures, who will grow wheat for us, and where will we eat fragrant fried wheat? You know, the Vultures are a rare animal these days. ”

"Nope! Dear Taiji. Don't underestimate the survival ability of these fearful people, they can eat tree bark, dirt, and dung, as long as they can survive. Wait until next year I'm sure we can still get these slaves, and the best. "Isn't this nonsense? Those who survive a winter are the healthiest.

Well! Harakhura admired Naru's idea, which made him look forward to the second point: "Naru! So what's the second point? ”

Naru said unhurriedly, "As for the second point, that is, the Hechi Ti Department is the key. ”
