Luntai.

There was originally an old castle here, but neither the Chagatai Khanate nor the current Little Heshuot Khanate had any intention of using it.

Opposite the wall of the abandoned city is a gentle slope, and behind the gentle slope is the majestic Tianshan Mountains.

On the gentle slope, a huge tent stands proudly.

In late autumn, the cold wind blew.

The fifty-nine-year-old Eziertu stood alone in front of a large tent. In front of him was the vast grassland. In front of the old city of Luntai was the road built by the Mongol Empire that went straight to the Western Regions from Gansu through Balikun Lake. There was a large army passing through this road.

An army that was extremely neat and solemn even on horseback was extremely wide. The road near Luntai could be paralleled and ten horses did not seem crowded. However, this army was walking upright on the road with five horses in a row. When passing through the old city wall, Eziertu saw clearly from the telescope given to him by Nikan.

The cavalry trotted through, and the so-called trot is the most powerful time when war horses sway up and down when they move, but there is no such scene when they walk or run at full speed.

Such a marching can also keep the war horses in a roughly flat posture, which cannot be done without long-term training. For a long time, as a tribe on the grassland, there have naturally been training for cavalry, such as cavalry shooting, cavalry warfare, etc., but there is definitely no training for war horse marching. When a war occurs, the little chief will lead the tribal cavalry under his command to roughly get together and move forward, and at most some reconnaissance cavalry are arranged.

In the Mongol Yuan era, starting from Genghis Khan, their training for cavalry reached the extreme, especially when attacking Europe. At that time, Europe already had a large number of heavy cavalry, but most of their enemy Mongolian cavalry had only one piece of light leather armor. However, when the two sides fought, the Mongolian cavalry defeated the heavy cavalry.

Why?

At that time, the Mongolian cavalry had already reached tens of thousands of people and obeyed the orders of centurions, commanders and commanders of ten thousand. When the European heavy cavalry rushed over, they did not retreat blindly, but were swimming around the European heavy cavalry, keeping the distance between them within the range of bows and arrows. While they kept a distance from the heavy cavalry, they kept firing arrows.

Because the light cavalry is lighter and the war horses are more laborious, it will eventually drag down the Europeans and defeat them. At this time, letting their small number of heavy cavalry enter will definitely be invincible.

That was the masterpiece of the Mongols' era of distinct battlefield discipline. After sweeping across the Eurasian continent, they gradually degenerated. Even by the end of the Ming Dynasty, their cavalry did not reach the level of their ancestors. If it were not for the extremely serious transformation of the Ming Empire, there would be no problem sweeping over the Chahar area with nine thousand Guanning cavalry.

The Weila cavalry was a small climax of the Mongol cavalry in the late Ming Dynasty, but it was just a small climax. Not only did they not reach the level of Genghis Khan's period, but they were also not as good as the level of the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, when Eziertu's eyes saw with his own eyes that there was such a scrupulous cavalry squad passing by him, the shock in his heart was beyond words.

Cavalry with strict discipline will have more uses and can use a lot of tactics. However, it is extremely rare among the nomadic tribes in Central Asia. If it were in its heyday, the Junggar could only peck at Kazakhs, the Shiva cavalry was slightly better, and the Ottoman cavalry was disciplined and equipped, but they were no longer completely nomadic cavalry. Most of the cavalry of the Daxia Kingdom came from nomadic tribes, and after a large amount of systematic training, they were not comparable to them.

Soon, the road ahead was completely covered by a thick stream of smoke and dust. Only the rumbling sound of war horses trotting came from inside, and occasionally the horse's head and helmet exposed in the smoke and dust could be seen.

Even this sound is a solemn rumble in Eziertu's opinion, which is very different from the familiar rumble that although it is huge but messy.

Shocked, lost, melancholy, Eziertu, this Khan, who played this extremely important role in history, was in a very complicated mood.

"thump"

The telescope given to him by Daxia Kingdom in his hand fell to the ground.

"I am now Nikan's father-in-law, and I believe he will keep his promises. Sengge, why bother, Anu, my poor daughter."

According to the Daxia Kingdom, Yang Tingdong, commander-in-chief of the Gansu Front, led three legions, each with nine thousand cavalry and more than three thousand infantry. When he finished all the avenues near Luntai, he passed in half a day.

Eziertu got into his big tent, picked up the soju wine from Daxia, and drank it in a big gulp.

...

Ten days later, news came back from near Jinghe that the war in Jinghe was over, or the Junggar Khanate ended because no large-scale war occurred.

History returns to his original track with his unparalleled inertia.

"Sweat"

Eziertu, who had been hanging over for many days, was listening to his son report on the war in Jinghe and Yili.

"There was no war at all. Just when Yang Tingdong's three legions and Kakduli's six legions pressed towards Jinghe, Altay, Yili and Tacheng from all directions, Sengge suddenly convened an emergency meeting in Tacheng. It was originally for the cheering and encouraging generals in all directions, but unexpectedly, something bad happened at the meeting."

At this time, when he heard that there was no war there, Eziertu's heart, who had been a little manic and restless these days, calmed down a little, but when he heard this, he knew what was going on without his son's reminder.

"Chechnya started?"

"...Yes, Chechen and Bagabandi suddenly attacked and fought against Sengge in the big tent. At that time, there was no one in the big tent except for a few nobles from the tribe. Sengge was caught off guard and was killed by Chechen. However, after Chechen's death, Robuzan Gelinqin, who arrived one later, and Anu, fought back and killed Chechen and Bagabandi. In the war, Robuzan Gelinqin, Anu, Chechen and Bagabandi were all killed in battle."

(Chchen is the eldest son of the former Junggar Khan Batuer, and Bagabandi is the eldest son of Batuer's younger brother Chu Huer Ubash. The two are always in good relationships and are not in harmony with Sengge. Robuzan Gelinqin is the legitimate son of Chu Huer Ubash. His mother is from the Heshuote tribe and is close to Sengge. Anu is the eldest daughter of Eziertu and married Sengge)

(In real history, Sengge died at the hands of Chechnya and Bagabandi)

"Only the elder brother Erdeni is left, keeping your old order in mind and keeping neutral. After the war is over, tens of thousands of people have died in battle. At this time, the elder brother comes forward again, convinces other nobles, restrains the troops, and surrenders to the people of Daxia."

"Ten thousand people", Eziertu lamented in his heart, "These people are their own standing troops, all the elites in the tribe. Once they lose, even if the Daxia Kingdom invades, the tribe will be greatly damaged."

And now he is the most prestigious person of the Weila people, Eziertu suddenly opened his eyes.

"How did the people of Daxia deal with the various tribes of Junggar?"

"It's not the old rule. I'll transfer half of the tribes to the Bogra tribe, transfer ordinary herders from Altay to the Great Lakes area, transfer half of the herders near Tacheng to the near Balkash Lake, transfer the herders near Jinghe and Yili to the Sir River Basin, and at the same time, transfer the Bogras from Zasaktu Khan's tribe, Balkash Lake, and Sir River Basin to Altay, Tacheng and Jinghe."

"The remaining tribes still retain the old rules that were originally governed by the chiefs of each tribe, and there is no need to pay taxes, but the Daxia Congress set up big cities in Altay, Tacheng, Jinghe and Yili to build schools. Whether the tribes we used to be under the jurisdiction of the original heads or recently joined the Bogra tribe, first, children of appropriate age must enter the school to study, and second, the young and strong herders of the tribe must complete three months of military service every year."

Eziertu's hands were tightly packed together, and the blue veins on the back of his hands were rising. Nikan's jurisdiction model was something he had never seen before. Although he had never heard of it before, he never took it to heart.

"Father Khan, according to the previous agreement between our troops and Bogda Khan, our troops can only bring 10,000 households to the nearby Balikun Lake to the herds. The remaining tribes stayed on the spot to join the Pogra tribe. As time was about to come, you see..."

"Balikun Lake? Where can I carry ten thousand herdsmen to herds?"

"Father Khan, didn't they say that the ranch south of Mount Altai, north of the Tianshan Mountains, and the center of Balikun Lake are all yours."

Eqiertu felt a little depressed and thought to himself: "I have married a daughter, so what is the treatment now?"

Just as I was thinking, there was another sound of horse hooves and a lot of smoke and dust coming from afar. When the movement was heard, it was obvious that it was the cavalry of the Daxia people.

Eziertu's heart moved and he raised his telescope.

In the camera, that unique star appeared.

...

In the big tent, Eziertu and Nikan didn't say anything for a long time.

In the end, Nikan spoke.

"Khan, let's join our country as a whole. You can keep your core tribe 3,000 households, and the rest will be added to the Bogra ministry, or directly join the Government Council. In this way, your tribe will not have to move to the desolate Balikun Lake, but your tribe will also move to half of Yili, look..."

Eziertu said: "There is no need to discuss?"

Nikan immediately became serious, and stood up, looking at the snow-capped Tianshan outside the tent with his hands behind his back.

"This is the first time Ben Khan has made an exception. Of course, you have other options, such as moving to the farther Anxi, America, which will take several years to complete."

After saying that, he turned around and said word by word to Eziertu: "According to the strength of the Xiawei Lats now, under the suppression of our 100,000 troops, the extermination of the clan will be a matter of a moment. Ben Khan now has a grandson, and his heart has become softer. Otherwise, according to the previous practice, he would not have negotiated with anyone!"

Only then did Eziertu realize that the person standing in front of him was no less than the Khan of his ancestors. Such a person was angry in an instant, and even his father-in-law was useless.

He quickly knelt down.

"Abide by the order of Bogda Khan"
