At the same time that the Russian ambassador Sergei rushed to Jiangning, his beloved colleagues also arrived at Bokseri, the residence of the Khanate of the Dzungar Ministry, and the city of Yarkand, the capital of the Yarkand Khanate.

The Dzungar chieftain had become a monk by this time, and he was the fifth son of Batur Hun Taiji, whose succession led to a division and civil war in the Dzungar tribe, but after years of war, several of his rebellious brothers were in decline and were about to be defeated.

At this time, the envoy from Moscow undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people within the Dzungar Ministry, who speculated about the purpose of the arrival of the Oros (the Dzungar Ministry's name for Tsarist Russia), and some people who knew more had already guessed that it was probably related to the war that was breaking out in Mobei today.

Although the Dzungar Ministry is breaking out in the civil war, they are not ignorant of the outside world, and the rumors of the war in Mobei have also spread here, and some Dzungar nobles ridicule the Russian army in the war by the Xia army, and have no power to fight back, and they are also afraid of the strength of the Xia army.

The arrival of the Russian envoy attracted great attention from the monks, and at this time he had not yet torn his face with the Russian envoys, so he remained friendly to the Russian envoys, and directly ordered people to bring the envoys and interpreters to him.

As soon as the messenger entered the account, he respectfully performed a Mongolian etiquette, and he muttered a great deal of it, and then the interpreter beside him followed:

"Venerable Dzungar Taiji, upon hearing that you have won one victory after another in the counterinsurgency war and are about to win the final victory, His Majesty the Tsar, upon hearing of this, sent a messenger to congratulate you and wish you a long and peaceful reign."

After hearing this, the monk laughed, he was in the prime of life, and he was ambitious to make a meritorious achievement, and it was certainly a black spot for several brothers to rebel against him, but it would also become a great achievement in his life.

"Please go back and tell His Majesty the Tsar that the Dzungar Ministry is a loyal friend of His Majesty, and if he encounters any difficulties, I will do my best to help." The monk said politely.

After listening to the interpreter's relay, the envoy saluted again and said, "Your Highness Taiji, His Majesty the Tsar has indeed encountered some troubles, and you must have heard of the war that broke out on Lake Baikal, and the evil Chinese brazenly launched an invasion of our sacred territory, and it was only thanks to the fierce resistance of our warriors that they were able to stop the attack of the Chinese."

As soon as his words came out, some of the Dzungar nobles in the tent who knew about the Sino-Russian war were a little dumbfounded, obviously the Russian army was unilaterally hung and beaten, and it was all thanks to those strong fortresses that they would not lose a large piece of land, how could it be said that it was the result of their desperate resistance?

Although the monk also knew the truth behind it, his face remained unchanged and replied indifferently: "Oh, it's really outrageous, those Chinese expelled the Manchurians who were friendly with my father, overthrew the former suzerain, and now they are actually swinging the butcher's knife at your country, it's simply hateful."

After speaking, he changed his words and said, "It's a pity that those brothers of mine are still insisting on opposing me, and I must concentrate my forces to suppress the rebels, otherwise, I will definitely send troops to assist His Majesty the Tsar."

His words were very good, euphemistically showing that he was powerless against the Russian army's war situation and blocked the Russian envoy's words, but the Russian envoy received the task of persuading the Dzungar Ministry to send troops, how could he give up like this.

After listening to the translator's relay, he pondered for a moment before he spoke: "His Majesty the Tsar is very concerned about the counterinsurgency cause of His Highness Taiji, and in order to support His Highness Taiji, His Majesty is willing to provide 800 arquebuses and 30 half-snake cannons to support His Highness Taiji's counterinsurgency war."

In the face of the weapons and equipment sent to his door, the monk naturally accepted it gladly, but he also knew that the gift of the Oros was not so easy to take, and he would have to pay the corresponding price after accepting it.

This price is undoubtedly nothing more than sending troops to China to assist the Russian army in fighting the Chinese.

This price is within the range of his acceptability, as the Taiji of the Dzungar tribe, he is ambitious to lead his people to expand, raise his name from the lower Taiji to Khan, march eastward, and force the submission of Mobei Mongolia is a good opportunity.

However, the monk did not agree immediately, and he wanted to get more benefits from the Oros, so after some negotiations with the Russian envoy, the two finally reached a satisfactory result for both parties.

That is, after the Dzungar Ministry put down the civil strife, it must declare war on the Xia Dynasty and send an army of at least 10,000 people, for this reason, in addition to the 800 arquebuses and 30 half-snake cannons (compared to the "Shenwei General Cannon"), the Tsarist Russia will also pay the Dzungar Ministry 300 poods of gold as military expenses.

On the other hand, the Russian envoy's lobbying in the Yarkand Khanate was also successful, and the Yarkand Khanate monarch Abdul Rakha Khan was at this time overwhelmed by the confrontation between the Black Mountain faction and the White Mountain faction in the country, and urgently needed a war to divert the contradictions.

Therefore, under the persuasion of the Russian envoy, he agreed to join the encirclement network of the Xia Dynasty and send troops to Gansu, the northwest border of the Xia Dynasty, in return, Tsarist Russia also needs to pay 300 poods of gold as military expenses, not only that, but Tsarist Russia will also support the Yarkand Khanate to occupy Gansu.

After leaving the city of Yarkand, the Russian envoy did not return directly to the mainland, but continued to the south, heading to the capital of the Hoshut Khanate, Rakha, with the intention of drawing the Hoshut Khanate into the encirclement of the Xia Dynasty.

After the departure of the Russian envoys, the Yarkand Khanate began to mobilize its own troops, and Abdurraha Khan also ordered Turpan Aqimu (Governor) Babai Ibraim to gather troops and horses as a vanguard to attack Suzhou.

Babai Ibraim did not dare to slack off after receiving the order, and while mobilizing the troops and horses of Turpan and Hami, he also sent an envoy to Guazhou, asking the Zhou people there to participate in the attack on the Xia Dynasty.

That's right, after fleeing north from Datong, Wu Zhou under the leadership of Ning and Emperor Wu Yingqi struggled through a large grassland, bypassing Gansu and entering Turpan, they initially wanted to grab a piece of land from the Yarkand Khanate, but after some fighting, Wu Zhou was defeated, and Wu Yingzhi could only ask to go to the emperor and submit to the Yarkand Khanate in order to survive.

After careful consideration, Abdurraha Khan decided to accept Wu Yingji's request to place Wu Yingqi and the soldiers and civilians he brought with him near Guazhou, allowing him to build a city, but requiring them to pay a certain amount of taxes and tribute every year, and to join Abdurraha Khan's side in the event of war in the Yarkand Khanate.

Not only that, Wu Yingqi could not be called the king of Zhou, but was canonized as Zhou Taiji by Abdul Raha Khan, and became a courtier of the Yarkand Khanate, and he also accepted the baptism and converted to the Yarkand Khanate.

At this point, Ning of Wu Zhou and Emperor Wu Yingqi became Zhou Taiji of the Yarkand Khanate, which is simply ridiculous.

Wu Yingqi and his Zhou army always kept in mind who forced them to this field, and even when they arrived in a foreign land, the Zhou army was still strong, waiting for the day when they could return to the Central Plains and take revenge on Su Yan.

And this day finally came, after receiving the envoy sent by Turpan Aqimu, Wu Yingqi immediately said that he would gather all the soldiers and horses, as the vanguard of the Khan King to attack Suzhou, and after the envoy left, Wu Yingqi also really gathered all the soldiers and horses under his command and prepared for battle.

Although after many years of lying on the back and trying to get the courage, the answer is that under the strict precautions and strong men of the Yarkand side, the army under Wu Yingqi has only increased from the original defeat of more than 1,000 remnants to about 3,000 people.

However, Wu Yingzhi learned the lesson of being driven out of the Han land, and he believed that one of the reasons why the Zhou army would be defeated was that the firearms could not be compared to the Xia army, so he smashed the pot and sold iron, and purchased a batch of firearms from Western merchants to equip the army, so that the firearms equipment rate in the army exceeded 70%.

On the other hand, the movement of the Yarkand Khanate to assemble troops in the country was not deliberately hidden, and the secrecy work of the Yarkand high-level was not done well, and it didn't take long for the rumors of a war between the entire Yarkand and the Xia Dynasty spread all over the city.

The merchants were the first to react, they hurriedly sold the goods in their hands, and then left the front line with the money, and the Jinyi Wei lurking in the Western Regions also hurriedly sent the information back to China, and was the first to notify the border army of Suzhou Wei, asking the border army to prepare for war.

Some of the Han caravans that had gone to Yarkand hurriedly fled back to Gansu, alerting the border troops when they passed through JYG, who reported it layer by layer, and were finally reported to the Gansu governor Li Daotai and the Gansu general Daniel Zhang.

Lee Do-tae was a traditional civilian who was adept at governing a piece of land without knowing how to fight, and when faced with threats from his western neighbors, he could only serve as a general

The power was given to Daniel Zhang and ordered him to organize soldiers and horses to respond.

What he could do was to send a message to the imperial court, report the situation here, find the support of the imperial court, and at the same time mobilize grain and grass from all over the province to supply the front line.

Daniel Zhang also did not live up to Li Daotai's trust, and he immediately mobilized the Gansu border army to gather in Suzhou, heavily guarded the center of the first line of defense, JYG, and personally sat on the Suzhou Acropolis.

The Great War was imminent, and the Tsarist Russian mission, which arrived in Jiangning City thousands of miles away, under the escort of the Xia cavalry, finally met the honorable Chinese emperor.

The prosperity of Jiangning City and the splendor of the imperial palace far exceeded the imagination of the Russian mission, they were amazed by this great city and the magnificent imperial city, Sergei bluntly said that the city must be blessed by God, and the monarch who rules the city will also be God's favorite.

Subsequently, after a lengthy procedure, Sergei and his party were finally brought before the emperor and the civil and military officials, and the emperor did not insist on kneeling and other false rituals, so his courtiers did not embarrass the mission in this matter.

After meeting the emperor, everyone in the mission was surprised by the emperor's youth, and in their stereotyped impression, the emperor should be a majestic old man who was drooping and old, surrounded by many beautiful women and beardless eunuchs, and the palace should also be gloomy and oppressive, not as bright as he is now.

In general, all their stereotypes of the Far East, after meeting the emperor himself, were completely shattered.
