Based on the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, the Jurchens, who were hunted down by the Ming Dynasty, and the Jungar Mongols, who were hunted down by the steppe, were definitely natural allies.

Tarikutai thought for a moment, then nodded at Zilharang.

The path back to Russia naturally deflected, and he was going to Aksu to meet Lobzang Tenzin, the last king of the Mongols.

The distance from Ili to the map of southern Xinjiang is not far, it seems to be only a finger away. The Tianshan Mountains lie across the Western Regions, naturally dividing the Western Regions into two parts: north and south.

The Tien Shan Mountains are the largest independent latitudinal mountain system in the world. It is also the farthest and driest mountain range in the world. The famous Taklamakan Desert is located here.

It is almost impossible to cross the Tien Shan Mountains, and the people of Dzungar are lucky to find an unknown path. Following this arduous path, it is possible to achieve things that were almost impossible before.

Narrow pass! It's really dangerous!

There are several places where half of the wheels of the Lehrer are just outside the cliffs. The shattered rocks kept falling into the abyss, and Zilharang didn't even dare to look down.

Overhead, there is a golden eagle chirping, and perhaps only the king of this kind of eagle can fly on the top of this high mountain.

An unlucky guy accidentally fell off a cliff by a falling rock. The screams echoed through the mountains for a few moments before stopping.

Zilharang felt that this guy must have been scared to death before he fell to the ground and fell into a meatloaf.

A finger away, Zilharang walked for eighteen days. The hardships were inhumane, and Zilharang vowed never to take this path again. It's so fucking dangerous!

Aksu, also known as the city of Whitewater, is south of the vast Tagramakan Desert.

What started out as an oasis on the edge of the desert has grown over the years to become a city.

But in the past few thousand years, Whitewater has never had so many people come in.

King Vigur also knew that the Mongols were like jackals. Once they are strengthened, the consequences are unimaginable. But in order to deal with the possible conquest of the Ming Dynasty, he also had to take advantage of these Mongols.

For the purpose of both ends of the first rat, King Weiur lent Baishui City to Lobzang Tenzin as a foothold.

The surging Tarim River brings an abundance of water to Whitewater City, and there are few creatures in this world who don't like water. Where there is water, there is naturally an oasis, and where there is water, there is naturally a pasture.

In fact, it is the most abundant place in the whole of southern Xinjiang. There are not only the Tarim River, but also the Aksu River and the Duolang River.

Zilharan felt that it was a mistake for the king of Vigur to give this place to the Mongols. Although this temporarily stabilized the Mongols, the satisfied Mongols did not make trouble.

But once the Mongols recovered, they would rush like wolves for pasture. When the time comes, it will be a nightmare for the Vigurs.

followed Talihutai into Whitewater City, saying that it was a small city, but it was pitiful. The standard three-mile city of Seven Mile Guo, on the edge of the city are the Mongols in the diaspora.

More Mongols hunted and herded from afar, unlike the Han Chinese. Two or three hundred thousand Han Chinese gathered together, much smaller than the two or three hundred thousand Mongols were to occupy land.

It doesn't seem to have a large population in Whitewater City, and it is estimated that there are only 10,000 or 20,000 people.

Almost all of them were dressed in tatters, and there were a lot of beggars on the streets. Holding a broken wooden bowl in his hand, he begged from passers-by. They were dirty, and Zilharang could even see lice jumping around in their hair and beard.

Most of the houses are made of rammed earth, and some are made of stones. Anyway, Zilharang didn't see a single reinforced concrete building!

However, Mongolians prefer to live in tents, and the requirements for houses are not high.

Although the requirements for the house are not high, when he came to the gate of the Lobzang Danjin Palace, Zilharang was still startled.

Half of the wooden door was missing, and it was full of holes. There were three stone houses in the yard, and the yard was large and there were many horses in it.

Lobzang Tenzin, who had received the news, stood at the door and welcomed the arrival of Zilharang.

"Hello old friend!" Lobzang Tenzin warmly hugged Zilharang.

Zilharang frowned, he was afraid that the lice on Lobzang Tenzin would jump on him. I have traveled so many places and learned a lot. Zilharang already knew that lice were the source of many diseases. He decided that he would have to take a good shower when he returned in the evening.

"Huh! Lord, I'm seeing you again. Despite his reluctance, Zilharang and Lobzang Tenzin warmly embraced and exchanged greetings.

"Hahaha! Friends from afar, the mutton has been roasted, and it is waiting for you to come. "Lobzang Tenzin was tall and had a curly beard covered with grease stains.

Sure enough, a felt blanket had been laid out in the courtyard, not far from the stable, and after walking over, a fishy smell came to my nose.

A few meters away from the carpet, a fat sheep roasted to a brown roast was strung on a wooden shelf.

The sheep didn't have time to eat, and the mare's milk wine had already dried up two bowls. Mongolians are always massive, and the toasters will sing and toast at the same time, which can push the atmosphere to the extreme in a very short time.

"How did you live in southern Xinjiang?" After two bowls of mare's milk wine, Zilharang's face flushed. While eating mutton, I looked at Lobzang Tenzin.

"Hey......! If this ghost place in southern Xinjiang hadn't been too arid and barren, we wouldn't have let the Weiwuer people stay here and not come to rob it.

There is so little pasture that there is no way to graze. The herders are starving, and if this continues, there may be starvation. Lobzang Tenzin sighed.

Geldan once ruled the huge Dzungar Khanate, with a population of more than three million. But now, ......, there are more than 1 in 10 people and a large number of people are starving.

Think about the prosperity of the Dzungar Khanate in the past, and then look at the current dilapidation, what a tragic word.

"Even if it's these pastures, we have to share them equally with the Vigurs. Fortunately, the Vigurs also farm, and sometimes we can get some food from them. ”

What Lobzang Tenzin said lightly, but Zierharang knew that the so-called getting some food, the eight achievements were to grab some food.

The Mongols are jackals, and the strong on the steppe are respected. The robbery of the weak by the strong is the most normal thing in the grassland.

In fact, the same was true of the Jurchens a long time ago.

"It's not a way to do this, you know, the reason why Da Ming hasn't stretched out his claws to the south yet. That's because they don't have the strength to spread the stall so big, and once the problem in northern Xinjiang is solved, they will definitely not let go of southern Xinjiang.

After all, there is such a large area of land here, and the Ming people are greedy for land. They always want to get the land and get the money from the land. Perhaps, they are the most land-savvy people in the world. Zilharang and Lobzang Tenzin touched a glass and drank all the wine in the bowl.

"Then what do you say, you can't beat Da Ming. It's not that I haven't tried, Geldan is so powerful, and in the end it didn't end in a fiasco. "Lobzang Danzin irritated and drank a bowl of mare's milk wine.

He also knew that so many people were hiding in southern Xinjiang, and it was impossible to keep the secret.

Da Ming did not come to conquest them, there can only be one reason, that is, Da Ming does not want to come to conquest them.

"Come with me, the whole tribe will migrate to Russia. Your Mongol Turks migrated all the way to Russia. They live well in Russia, and under the Russian Queen, at least you won't go hungry. You don't have to rely on robbery to eat! ”

"Migrating to the Rakshasa Country?" Zilharang's words were very tempting to Lobzang Tenzin.

The Mongols were originally migrated back and forth, not to mention that southern Xinjiang was really not a good place for grazing. Only the Vigurs can stay in such a dry place.

"That's right! Dolgon and I are there, and we can take care of each other when we get there. Moreover, Dolgon has a very good relationship with the Queen of Russia, and it is not difficult to find you a fertile pasture. ”

Zilharan was right when he said this, although this time the European melee was exhausted by the exhaustion of all countries. But Russia still took the opportunity to occupy a large part of the Eastern European steppe!

There is a shortage of more shepherds there!

This is also something that can't be helped, although Russian men work hard enough, but Russian women just don't like to get pregnant. Russia has laid huge lands in the air, but there is no corresponding population filling.

Now that two or three hundred thousand people have filled in, Empress Catherine will surely give them a large area of pasture very generously. Of course, when Russia is in trouble, they also have to pick up their sabers to help fight.

The Mongols did not have a bad impression of Russia, which had a period of Mongol rule that lasted for two hundred years.

For many times, the Mongols treated the Russians as family.

"You took refuge with the Russians? What about there, the Ming people didn't fight it. I heard that the Ming people occupied India, and that the Great Khan of Geldan also died in India. "The trade routes in southern Xinjiang are blocked, and the news is naturally blocked.

In the past few years, Luo Buzang Danjin has heard some news from the outside intermittently. It's all fragmented news, and a lot of the time you have to guess.

Now it's easy to look forward to Zilharang, of course, you have to ask for clarity.

"The Ming Dynasty did not occupy India, but divided it into many small states. Now those small states are all drunk and dreaming of death, and it is estimated that they will not live for many years before they will have a famine.

Great Khan Geldan was indeed killed in India, and he died a very heroic death. The last 5,000 cavalry of the department launched a death charge against the Ming Dynasty.

Pity! People have sharp weapons, and we are not opponents at all. ”

Zilharang told Lobzang Tenzin about the events of the last two years.

Luo Buzang Danjin was silent, he didn't expect that in just two or three years, the Ming forces had actually hit a place he had never heard of.

It's not that he has never heard of it, he has heard of it in the Ottoman Empire. According to the merchants, it was a very powerful country in the Middle East. The Persians must tremble at their feet!

Unexpectedly, it only took Da Ming nine months to completely dismantle such a huge empire.

"Come with us, now Daming is stepping up its internal development. Once they have their hands free, you will be the first to be unlucky. Don't forget, you are the descendants of Yexian, and how you treated the Ming Emperor in the first place.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was raised by you like a dog, and now is the time for the Ming Dynasty to take revenge.

I've heard that Li Xiao once said that he wanted to turn Junggar into a mere place name. That is, he wants to kill all of you Dzungars. ”

"Humph! Come on! Am I afraid of them? We Mongolians are mostly warriors who are not afraid of death. When he said this, Lobzang Tenzin was somewhat weak-hearted.

With the current strength of the Mongols and the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that there are only dead knocks.

In his heyday, he was still the virtue of that bear, and now he ......! How to fight?

"If you want to move, you'll have to get us some guns and ammunition. You know, the best way for us to get to Russia is to get out of that trail and go north along Ili.

Along the way, we will not only be blocked by the Ming people, but even attacked by Samarkan Khairkhan. It's hard to get out without some guys. "Lobzang Tenzin was very helpless.

Southern Xinjiang is sandwiched between the Tianshan Mountains and the Kunlun Mountains, in the Tarim Basin.

It naturally forms a small enclosed area, and the connection to the outside world can only be reached by a few mountain passes. The Ming people have been organizing agricultural reclamation divisions in the past two years, and these half-military and half-civilian organizations are all stuck between various mountain passes.

If the Mongols wanted to get out of southern Xinjiang, in addition to crossing the Kunlun Mountains to the plateau, the only way to break through these mountain passes. Even if you take this path, you will go out in the Ili River Valley.

Now there are also agricultural reclamation divisions stationed in the Ili River Valley, and it is absolutely impossible to break out without experiencing a fierce battle.

"The guy can get you some, and even send some people to pick you up. You may not know that now Russia also has airships.

However, the airship can send things to the Ili River Valley at most, and you have to go to the Ili River Valley if you want supplies. Zilharang's eyes rolled to his heart.

It's not enough to get these two or three hundred thousand people who have an unforgettable hatred with Daming to Russia, and they have to be allowed to do something on the road.

"When you get to the Ili River Valley, you can get guns and ammunition?" Lobzang Tenzin suddenly became excited.

Since entering southern Xinjiang, guns and ammunition have become increasingly scarce. Especially the bullets, which have not been replenished at all, are at the point of missing one shot.

"I'll contact you when I get back, and I'll be transported by airship. Get you fifteen hundred rifles, and 100,000 bullets for you. "In order to fool Lobzang Danjin out of the mountain, Jierharang is a trick.

"Good! As long as there are these guns and ammunition, Lao Tzu will repair the Ming army's reclamation divisions. His grandmother's, they have been bullied and ruined in the past two years. "When I heard that there were guns and ammunition, Lobzang Tenzin was very confident.
