Chapter 29 The Great Sweep
All the Cossack cavalry, including Dudayev and Franz, were not present in this battle.
For Bayan, this battle seems to be a bit unfinished.
Also, the total number of Cossack cavalry is 1,500. The one hundred cavalry who controlled Batu's family on the west bank of the Ortysh River all ran towards Tala City when they saw something was wrong. Dudayev's cavalry was the only one.
Those who slipped through the net.
Gumubu's thousand standing army was also completely wiped out here.
The Great Xia Empire can tolerate you making mistakes, but it will never allow you to make mistakes on purpose. If you do something secretly or play tricks, revenge will come back sooner or later, and once it comes, it will be extremely cruel.
The thousand standing troops who followed Gumubu were actually the descendants of Taiji and Taiji who were the most loyal to him in his tribe. Once these people died, Gumubu's muscles and bones had actually been drained out and broken into pieces.
"Instructions from the Great Khan!"
On the east bank of the Ertysh River, where Omsk would later be located, and now in Hulvjin's tent, Bayan took out a roll of paper, which was tied with a golden ribbon, and the emperor's seal of the Great Xia Empire was stamped at the seam.
"According to the information from the Chasi, there are nearly 5,000 households in Gumubu's Durbot tribe, and the other tribes at the Kyrgyz, Turgut, and Huite tribes that depend on him total about 3,000 households."
"Move all these dependent tribes to the vicinity of Ob. As tribes directly under Bogda Khan, the Great Xia Empire will build a city here in the future, named 'Dingyuan City', and the remaining Dulbert herdsmen will be divided into two.
, were merged into the tribes of Sudukui and Zabu respectively."
"Zhabu's tribe moved to Karasuk, and Sudukui's tribe moved to the north bank of the Erqisi River..."
"this……"
(Obi is the area of Novosibirsk in later generations)
The herdsmen Sudukui and Zabu who were originally assigned to Gumubu were extremely happy, but now they have to relocate their residence. Zabu can say that Kalasuk is no less than the location of Ob, but further south
The north bank of the Ortysh River is directly adjacent to the territory of the Dzungar Khanate.
Batur's second son, the most arrogant and domineering Zhuote Babatur, is now the lord of the south bank of the upper reaches of the Ortysh River and the Zhaisangbo area.
Batur's territory is now distributed like this:
The dry grassland north of Lake Balkhash is the territory of his younger brother Chuhuur Ubas. There are tens of thousands of herders, who are in confrontation with the Kazakhs.
Northwest of Zhaisangbo, along the Ortiz River, is the pastureland of his second son, Chote Babatur. Originally, Chote Babatur's pastureland also crossed the Ortiz River, but in Sudukwe
After taking refuge in Nikan, Batur asked him to retreat to Henan.
Batur's other son, Chechen Taiji, occupies the Chu River Basin and confronts the Eastern Legion of the Kazakh Khanate in the southwest of the country. He also has many herders under his command, also up to 10,000 households. In addition, he also has many herders on hand.
There are five thousand standing cavalry allocated to him by Batur.
South of Lake Balkhash and in the Ili River Basin is the territory of Batur’s fifth son, Sengge. Since Sengge is the son-in-law of the Heshuote tribe, the Heshuote tribe, which has always been the head of the four Oirat tribes, naturally supports Batur.
As the legitimate son, he also occupies the best place.
The land to the north of the Tianshan Mountains was occupied by Batur and his young sons and daughters. The location of his sweat tent was Tal Bahatai, which was later known as Tacheng City.
At this time, the territory of the Dzungar Khanate was naturally not as vast as it was at its peak in later generations. At its peak, it encompassed the entire Balkhash Lake, once occupied the later Taraz and Kyrgyzstan areas to the southwest, and the entire south to the south.
Southern Xinjiang was included.
To the north, it embraces the Erqis River and the upper reaches of the Ob River. That is to say, the places now occupied by the Sudukui brothers and the Gumubu/Ombu Daiqing brothers belong to the Dzungar Khanate.
In history, the Russians launched two wars against the Dzungar Khanate, but were repelled by Batur both times. At that time, the Dzungar Khanate was still very powerful.
As for Zhuote Babatur, since his mother is a Kyrgyz, his core tribe is several Kyrgyz tribes, plus some of the Turghut tribe and the Heshuote tribe who stayed in the area.
The total number of Huite tribesmen who fled here from the Khalkha Lake area is more than 10,000.
Due to the relationship with the Kyrgyz people, the Zhuote Batur tribe still has no shortage of weapons and armor. What's more, in order to deal with Nikan in the north, Batur also gave him a standing army of five thousand, plus more troops that can be mobilized at any time.
The total strength of Muhu is as high as 15,000.
Facing such a formidable enemy, no wonder Su Dukui was still frightened.
When Bayan saw it, he smiled and said: "The Great Khan has given full consideration to this matter. A special envoy from the Great Khan will arrive in Batur."
Sudukui was delighted, "Will the Great Khan negotiate peace with Batur?"
In fact, Bayan is also confused. According to the current strength of Hanhai Kingdom, it is not a problem to take over the entire land north of Balkhash Lake. Why is it arranged like this?
Luo Jizhi on the side was thinking, "Compared with the Jungar Khanate, the Kazakh Khanate with more Dingkou is what we need to pay attention to. If we weaken Batur too much, they will definitely
It would not be beautiful to unite with the Kazakh Khanate.”
In fact, this was just Luo Jizhi's wishful thinking. In Nikan's mind, the Dzungar Khanate, which was founded on Tibetan Buddhism, was ultimately easier to accept than the Kazakh Khanate, which was founded on Tianfang Buddhism.
Dividing the territory of the Kazakh Khanate together with the Dzungar Khanate was Nikan's deepest thought. As for the future, each would decide based on his or her own abilities.
Therefore, under the current situation, it is only right for the Russians to negotiate peace with Batur, stabilize the current territory, and let him go all out to deal with the Kazakh Khanate and Yeerqiang Khanate, while he himself goes all out to deal with the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Bayan nodded, "Of course, this is just a temporary measure. Regarding your situation, the Great Khan has already thought about it. Your standing army will be increased to three thousand cavalry. The weapons and equipment will be provided by the Daxia Empire, and the rest will be provided by yourself.
Done"
Sudukui couldn't help but be overjoyed. With three thousand fine cavalry, plus the complete set of armor and weapons from the Daxia Empire, he would not be afraid even if he ran into Zhuote Babatur.
However, the pain was not enough, so he salivated and said, "Do you have a musket?"
Bayan smiled and said: "Of course, the Great Khan is very merciful this time and allows you to equip a musketeer cavalry team of 500 people. However, the muskets, ammunition, including armor, sabers, etc. all require you to rely on horses, cattle and sheep.
, in exchange for furs.”
"That's natural." Sudukui was ecstatic and replied hurriedly. With these five hundred muskets, he was not afraid of Nazot Babatul at all. He had heard that not long ago, the Jungar tribe and the Kazakhs
In the battle between humans, Jiang Geer had the upper hand at the beginning, and the "sharp weapon" in his hand was a firearm.
When Zabu saw that Sudukui was so valued, his mouth moved, but in the end he remained silent.
Compared with Sudukui, Zabu was a devout Buddhist, and his ambitions for territory and herdsmen were not as great as Sudukui's.
Bayan looked at him and said, "Zabutaiji, from now on the Great Xia Empire will build a big city at the headquarters of the Hulu Department to control the east bank of the Erqis River. The empire will also station heavy troops here. Your pastureland is in the east.
Within the shore, a thousand standing troops are enough.”
"What about the west bank of the Erqisi River?" Batu on the side couldn't help shouting. His territory was on the west bank.
"Haha" Luo Jizhi said at this time, "According to the Great Khan's plan, the area west of the Erqisi River will not be set foot in for the time being. However, before that, any empire that is willing to move to the east bank will be accepted. After the big city here is built, it will be named
Dingfang, a city was also built near Sudukui's territory in the south, named Chentang."
"Dingyuan, Dingfang, and Chentang stand on three pillars. In three to five years, the territory east of the Erqisi River will definitely be stabilized. By then, it will be easy to say whether it is further west or south."
Dingyuan, of course, is Ban Dingyuan, and Dingfang is the most outstanding general of the Tang Dynasty in Nikan's mind. He has made great achievements in the east (Korea), the north (Turks), and the west (Tubo, Western Regions).
There is no need to go into details about the victorious general Su Dingfang and Chen Tang.
With Dingyuan City (Novosibirsk City) as the core, thousands of miles to the west and south are Dingfang (Omsk) and Chentang (Semey), closely connected with the Erqis River and the Ob River.
Wrapped inside, it covers an area of 400,000 square kilometers, with tens of millions of acres of land suitable for farming and hundreds of millions of acres of high-quality pasture.
She also has a name, the Balabin Lowlands, which is the most important livestock and agricultural base for later Russians in Siberia!
Once such a place is stabilized, it can be used as a basis to slowly expand southward and westward.
After finalizing the affairs of the Gumubu tribe, Bayan asked Bayan and Luo Jizhi to go back and deal with the affairs of the Gumubu ranch, and he took Sudukui to start sweeping the prairie.
The targets of the raids were naturally tribes loyal to the Russians.
Among them, the Yustan tribe and the Karaqin tribe were the first to bear the brunt. Under the intimidation of Bayan's three thousand dazzling armored cavalry, in the following month, most of the tribes in the Tara Prairie surrendered, and a few did not.
Those who opened their eyes were "destroyed" by Bayan without hesitation.
At the end of autumn, when the first snow on the grassland arrived as expected, the entire grassland had been almost cleared. At this time, Bayan selected two thousand households from the tribes willing to submit to the Great Xia Empire and prepared to move them to
Near Dingyuan City (Novosibirsk), together with the three thousand households of Gumubu, they formed the New Bogra tribe directly under Nikan.
The new Bogra tribe of 5,000 households can prepare at least 3,000 new Guards cavalry, plus the Quchulu tribe that has agreed to move to the east bank of the Ortysh River, and the Hulv tribe that is already on the east bank, a new complete
The new Guards Cavalry Brigade is ready!
As for the two hundred Russian shooters in Tala City, Bayan ignored them.
On this day, Bayan's cavalry arrived at the Kurgan area at the western end of the prairie. It was already the most complicated place in the southwest of the Sardege Mountains (Ural Mountains), and would later be only a stone's throw away from Chelyabinsk.
.
There are three forces fighting intensely there.
The ones in the north are naturally the Russians. They are centered on the cities of Tyumen and Tobolsk and continue to expand southward.
In the middle, there is a Dulbert tribe that has just been brought here from the Erqis River Basin by the Turghut tribe who migrated westward - the tribe of Toyin, the younger brother of Dalai Taish.
There are nearly five thousand accounts.
There is also a Tatar tribe that speaks the Turkic language. They were originally nomadic in the Tara prairie. After the conflict with Dudayev, they moved to the vicinity of Kurgan. The original Balabin Hutaiji, Sheikh.
This Tatar tribe was originally the Tilianwuti tribe in Mobei. They stayed there after Genghis Khan's western expedition. After that, they neither joined the Zhongyuzi of the Kazakh Khanate nor attached themselves to the Siberian Khanate in the north.
, the Kazan Khanate in the west maintains considerable independence.
After Dudayev occupied the city of Tara, he fought several battles with Shekh. Shekh was defeated and continued to move westward, finally stopping in the Kurgan area. By this time, Shekh had only more than 3,000 troops.
However, by this time, the area under Dudayev's jurisdiction was too large, and he gave up the idea of completely annihilating Shekh's Balabin tribe.
Although they speak Turkic and have the title of Huitai Ji, it is obvious that this Balabin tribe still believes in Tibetan Buddhism or Shamanism.
In the Chelyabinsk area in later generations, there was also a Kara-Khitan tribe that had just separated from Xiaoyuzli, a tribe that was engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry.
Speaking of the Xiaoyuzi tribe of the Kazakh Khanate, there are mainly two tribal alliances.
The Alqin Alliance, also called the Khitan Alliance, is a tribal alliance that mainly speaks Khitan and Chinese and is mainly nomadic/farming in the middle and upper reaches of the Sazhidege River.
The Zed-Ur League, speaking Turkic language, is mainly the tribes from the Mesopotamia and Mesopotamia who came to Yelu Dashi after he established the Western Liao Kingdom. They are nomadic in the middle and lower reaches of the Sardege River (Ural River).
