Ivan? Petrin? Fyodor? Count Baykov rode on his horse, and finally pulled his mind back to the real world - the road was too difficult, and the horses were so thin, so he had to watch the road carefully!

"Master Baykov, when you arrive in the capital of China, you will know the whereabouts of Aberin." Barbatov on the side had been carefully observing the count, and when he saw that he was finally freed from his contemplative state, he said carefully.

"Well, yes." The new earl was obviously absent-minded and replied casually.

"Master, maybe he's still in Khan Bali City, and that's not for sure. Life there is still very leisurely and comfortable...... "Barbatov has always spared no effort in denigrating his compatriots.

"Oh? Have you ever been to Khan Bali City? Baykov turned his face alarmedly and asked coldly.

"No, no, I haven't. But his subordinates have been to the vast and broad hall of southern Mongolia, where there are many Chinese, and the customs and scenery of Khan Bali City are the boasting points that these Chinese often talk about. Barbatov hurriedly explained.

"Broad and broad?" Hearing the name for the first time, Baykov asked curiously.

"Oh, sir, it was the first city after arriving in China, and the local Mongols also called it 'Kuku and Tun', which means 'green city'."

"The Teal City? You mean......"

"Yes, Lord Count. It's a huge city, and you'll understand the name when you get there. It is surrounded by mountains and mountains, which can be described as a reflection of green hills. Thus revealing a lush vitality, this city can be described as a paradise on earth for those of us who trek through the treacherous mountains and waters. In particular, the city walls of Kuku and Tun are made of blue bricks, and they are all blue from afar, like a boat of life! ”

As he imagined, Barbatov sketched as if the Kuku and Tuncheng were right in front of him.

"I see. Are there more Mongols or Chinese in this city? Baykov suddenly remembered Tsar Alexei's magnificent "double-headed eagle ambition" and asked with a plot.

"Well...... Sir, Mongolians like to live on the steppe and make their home in tents, so. They dwelt in the city of Kuku and Tun. Mostly some lamas and nobles...... "Barbatov did not know Baikov's scheming, but answered truthfully.

"Huh? In other words, is it the Chinese majority? ”

"Yes. Therefore, the Chinese gave this Kuku and Tun a Chinese name. It's called the City of Naturalization. ”

"Naturalization City? What do you mean? ”

"Uh- as far as I know. Master. His Chinese words meant that the people of the city had converted to the Chinese religion and recognized the suzerainty of the Chinese emperor. I was willing to be a subject of the Chinese court. Barbatov gave a plausible explanation according to his own understanding.

"Oh-" Baykov said with some chagrin, in fact, he felt sorry for Tsar Alexei.

"I've heard that the naturalization of this city is actually because of a woman......" Barbatov thought that his explanation was not thorough enough, and hurriedly searched his stomach to talk about his poor knowledge of history.

Whether it is the broad and broad hall, Kuku and Tun, or the naturalized city, it is actually Hohhot, which was called the "green city" by later generations. The history of the founding of this famous city outside the Seychelles is quite legendary, and it is inseparable from the "woman" in Barbatov's mouth - the third lady.

In the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1550 AD), the third lady was born in the Turghut Department of Warat, and his father Zheheng Aha was the leader of the tribe, and the ruins of the tribe were in the area of Wushen Banner in Ordos City. The third lady's real name is "Zhongjin Hatun", which means "noble and prominent". Growing up in a Mongolian aristocratic family, the three ladies were born beautiful and intelligent. She is full of poetry and books, has a bold personality, and is good at singing, dancing, riding and archery. When she grew up, the three ladies were able to write and martial arts, be open-minded, and understand affairs, and were deeply loved by the tribesmen. Relevant historical records say that she is "young and young, good at books, charming and charming, good at riding and shooting".

Later, the Warakiragut tribe married the talented Altan Khan [also known as "Alatan Khan"), so the 20-year-old third lady married Altan Khan and became the princess. The conclusion of this marriage has pushed the three ladies to a broad stage where they can display their talents to the fullest. In order to assist her husband in expanding her territory and developing the economy of Monan, the third lady resolutely went to Warat with her husband. This righteous act made the third lady even more favored and valued by Altan Khan, and she always obeyed her no matter how big or small.

The marriage of the three ladies coincided with a period of extreme tension between the Ming Dynasty government and the Saiwai grassland. Previously, because the Ming Dynasty repeatedly refused Altan Khan's reasonable request for "tribute exchange", it also killed Altan Khan's envoys. Altan Khan once personally led the Mongol cavalry to the city of Beijing, and once again sent envoys to reiterate the demand for mutual markets. Faced with the severe situation of the army pressing the border, the Ming government was forced to reach an agreement with Altan Khan to open up mutual trade in Datong. However, not long after, the Ming Dynasty government reversed course and provoked war again. After more than 20 years of continuous war, both sides have lost their troops, displaced people, and suffered a depression in agricultural and animal husbandry production.

In the face of this severe situation, the three ladies used their wisdom and intelligence to disagree with the Ming Dynasty government. In March 1571, after the unremitting efforts of the three ladies, the two sides finally announced a truce, turned hostility into jade silk, and realized the mutual market of tribute. After the realization of the tribute exchange with the Ming Dynasty government, the border area of thousands of miles on the Saiwai grassland soon appeared a peaceful, stable and prosperous scene. In the historical books, he commented on this: "The imperial court has no worries about the future, the horses have no example of the southern herd, the border hooligans have no killing residues, and the division and brigade have no labor." ”

Since then, Sanniangzi actively maintained friendship with the Ming Dynasty and the relationship between the tribute city, so that the Mongolian and Han people could trade freely, and the tribes on the grassland were even more convinced by her and were willing to be bound by it. Whenever there is a mutual market, there is often a scene where the people of the two nationalities are "drunk and singing, and forgetting to return". Later, the government of the Ming Dynasty named Altan Khan as the "King of Shunyi" and the third lady as the "Lady of Zhongshun".

But before the Ming Dynasty, there was not a decent city on the Saiwai grassland. According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty", the sixth year of Longqing in the Ming Dynasty (1572 AD). Altan Khan and the Three Ladies began to preside over the construction of a city called "Kuku and Tun". It is recorded that after Kuku and Tuncheng entered the construction stage, Sanniang became the main host. In the third year of Wanli, the city was completed, and the Ming Dynasty government gave it the name of Naturalization City. According to the "Biography of Alatan Khan", this city was built in the style of the Yuan capital, with 8 buildings and a glazed Jinluan Palace.

In the sixth year of Wanli, after Altan Khan returned from making a wish to Dagan III in Qinghai, he began to preside over the construction of Hongci Temple [now "Jokhang Temple"] with the three ladies, which was completed two years later. And spent a huge amount of silver to cast a huge statue of Shakyamuni Buddha. The Dalai Lama III personally came to consecrate and enshrined in the temple. In the ninth year of Wanli (158L A.D.), Altan Khan and Sanniangzi expanded the naturalization city again and built a magnificent outer city. It is said that at that time, the walls of Guihua Castle were all made of blue bricks. From afar, it was blue.

The seventh year of the Apocalypse (1627 A.D.). Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar Department. "Naturalization City, Capture Silver Buddha Temple". In the fifth year of Ming Chongzhen (1636 AD), Huang Taiji defeated Lin Dan Khan. After chasing to the naturalization city, the city was set on fire, but the Silver Buddha Temple was doubled to protect it. Later, the Naturalization City was re-established by the Qing Dynasty on the ruins, but in order to commemorate the Three Niangzi, people still call the Naturalization City "Three Niangzi City".

Barbatov deliberately explained the origin of the city of naturalization, which was also a way to resolve the loneliness and boredom of the long journey, but the more Baykov listened, the more upset he became, especially when he heard that a Mongolian nobleman and his wife were so keen to be "naturalized" by the Chinese! As a result, Baykov rarely interjected, but listened.

The Bukharan merchant Babatov finally noticed some of the awkwardness and stopped talking. The group marched in silence......

"Before I left, my lord, I heard that His Majesty the Tsar had summoned you personally! This is a good sign for your prosperity, and I would like to ask you to bring me a lot...... "The lonely businessman who couldn't bear it began to fly again.

"Nothing! The tsar just told us to do our best! When Baikov heard about this, he even whipped his horse and trotted on the rugged mountain road, leaving Barbatov's flattering face far behind!

How did the Bukhara merchants know that Lord Baykov was upset about this matter!

For several months, Baykov did not mention to anyone what had happened in the palace that day, and even the bureaucrats of the diplomatic department asked him several times to write a note on how the tsar was going to give an account, and he prevaricated on the pretext that he was illiterate.

However, this does not mean that he is a devout Orthodox Christian, and his vows before God and Our Lady are so sacrosanct!

As a noble son who worked hard in Siberia and was able to become a successful businessman, he had long since believed in any oaths! Compared to that oath, Tsar Alexei's promise was even more tempting! An Overseer in the Overseer's House, that's a lucrative difference! Not to mention carrying out secret orders for it, even risking your life is worth trying!

But now, the young tsar's series of wishful thinking may not be able to get what he wanted! And it's becoming more and more likely! The story of Naturalization City made me understand one thing - in the East, the real masters are still Chinese! The Mongols have long since been naturalized under the command of the Bogda Emperor!

So, what am I going to do if your tsar's promises can't be fulfilled? Of course, no matter how difficult the road ahead, I will still try to achieve your seemingly impossible mission! But what should I do if I fail?

Perhaps, as a businessman, I have to do a good job of risk assessment! If that were the case, I would not be to blame Baykov for changing his face and denying it—if I could establish a solid trade between you and China, I would be able to make the Emperor Bogda realize your sinister intentions as well! You know, the secret is intelligence, and intelligence is always the most valuable and valuable! It was true for the Tsar, and it must be true for the Chinese Emperor!

"A limerick poem? Hidden Head

Reading literature and reading history is only a long breath

I was saying that there was an opportunity back then

The layout is a long-cherished wish

It's hard to come and go

Get up and spend a hundred years

Point out the suffering and diseases of the world

The edge of the town was razed to the sea

Wen'an Wuding happy teardrops (to be continued......)
