Zhao Han obviously attached great importance to A Yuqi, not only kept him to eat in the Forbidden City, but also called the crown prince and grandson.
"Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness the Grandson!" Ayuqi was very excited, and his affection for Zhao Han was infinitely high, and he felt that it was the right time for him to come to Nanjing this time.
Zhao Kuanghuan was also very approachable, and he actually bowed his hand to the Mongolian prince in return.
"Grandpahug!" Emperor Taisun Zhao Shixuan raised his hands.
Zhao Shixuan is four years old this year. He is the second son of the prince, but he is the eldest son.
Zhao Han picked up his grandson, put him on his lap and fed him with a smile.
A Yuqi raised his glass to Zhao Han first, and then he respected the prince, and described the situation in Central Asia in detail: "More than two hundred years ago, the Khan of the White Horde Khanate was killed, and the White Horde Khanate collapsed. The descendants of the youngest son of Shuchi Abu Lihaier Khan ascended the throne. This person has been in power for forty years and has laid a vast territory. The country is called the Uzbek Khanate. The people directly under Abu Lihaier Khan are craftsmen, farmers and businessmen. They are collectively referred to as' Uzbeks'. The tribes living in the Kipchak steppe are called 'Kazakhs'."
Zhao Han suddenly realized, and finally figured out the origins of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.
The merchants and craftsmen in Datong China only went as far as the Yinli River Basin, and they really didn't know much about the situation in Central Asia.
Ayuqi said: "Up to now, the Uzbek Khanate has been destroyed. The Kazakhs migrated to the Seven Rivers Basin and established the Kazakh Khanate, and the grasslands under their control continued to grow. The Kazakh Khanate was divided into three jurisdictions, Dayuzi, Zhongyuzi and Xiaoyuzi. At its peak, this country had a population of one million and 300,000 people who controlled strings. But now it has been divided, and the three Yuzi are in charge of their own affairs."
Zhao Han just fed his grandson and asked the prince to communicate with Ayuqi.
Zhao Kuanghuan asked the palace servants to bring the globe and asked, "Where are the three jades?"
Ayuqi touched the globe for the first time and was shocked when he got it in his hand. After careful confirmation, he said: "Small Yuzi is in the west of the Kazakh Khanate, Middle Yuzi is in the northeast of the Khanate, and Big Yuzi is in the south of the Khanate. This is the Khiva Khanate , this is the Khanate of Bukhara."
At this time, the Kazakh Khanate covered almost half of Central Asia, but it was also mixed with two other Khanates¡ªthe Aral Sea and its surrounding areas belonged to the Khiva Khanate, and Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and southeastern Uzbekistan belonged to Bukhara Khanate.
The Bukhara Khanate was established by the Uzbeks. It has been at war with Persia for hundreds of years, and it has to cross the border to Persia to plunder from time to time.
Xiaoyuzi is located on the east coast of the Caspian Sea, Zhongyuzi is next to the northern Xinjiang region, and Dayuzi is next to the southern Xinjiang region of Xinjiang.
Zhao Han swept towards the globe while listening to Ayuqi's narration.
The map of Central Asia is finally lit up.
Zhao Han suddenly asked: "How is your relationship with Kazakh Sanyuzi?"
"Oirat Mongolia has been at war with the Kazakhs for more than a hundred years," Ayuqi said, "but our Torghut tribe was pushed out by the Oirats and moved westward, so we are still friendly with the Kazakhs. This time I brought 500 The tribe came to China, and they were not attacked by Kazakhs on the way."
Zhao Han asked again: "Did you bring the golden seal bestowed by Daming?"
Ayuqi said: "No, I must bring it next time."
"You don't need to bring it, I'll send someone to get it and get a new seal for the Torghut Department," Zhao Han said, "I will make your father king"
"Your Majesty," Ayuqi interrupted in embarrassment, "my grandfather is still alive."
Zhao Han immediately changed his words: "Canonize your grandfather as the king of Torghut, named the county king, and the prince of Zhibi. When you go back, go with the canonized envoy of the Celestial Dynasty."
Ayuqi said: "Your Majesty, I have seen many new crops in the Celestial Dynasty, including potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, etc. I heard that all of them can produce high yields. Please give me some grain seeds."
"Yes." Zhao Han agreed.
At this time, the Turghut Department did not grow much food.
It was not until Ayuqi succeeded to the throne that farming and commerce were encouraged, and his strength quickly reached its peak.
It's a pity that he met Peter the Great. Russia was also developing rapidly at that time, and the Turghut Khanate became a dumping ground for Russian goods. Russia sells goods to Ayuqi at high prices, and imports grain from Ayuqi at low prices, and is cut miserably by industrial scissors.
In Ayuqi's later years, the status of the two countries was no longer equal, and the Turghut Khanate had to obey the tsar in name.
After asking a lot of specific information, Ayuqi was taken away from the Forbidden City by the guards.
Zhao Han hugged his grandson and asked, "Do you know why you support the Turghut Department?"
Zhao Kuanghuan backEarned a lot of silver. But the countryside is sparsely populated, and the price of food in the city is expensive, and there may be food shortages from time to time. In three to five years at the most, the Pegatron Special Department is estimated to be able to capture these places. "
Pang Anguo said: "The Yarkand nobles in Turpan and Hami all live in big houses and wear luxurious clothes. They are all extravagant and dissipated. Now they are doing business with our country and stuck on the Silk Road. The more money they earn, the worse they will be in war. However, the Mongols in the north were often hit by snowstorms in the freezing weather, so they could only continue to go south to plunder. As one goes down, the Yaerqiang Kingdom will be destroyed sooner or later.¡±
"The fall of Hami and Turpan is the best time for our country to send troops." Xie Yuan said.
Pang Anguo nodded and said, "That's right. The religion and language of the people here are different from those in Mongolia. I'm afraid the Mongols will have to work hard to put down the rebellion if they take over the territory. When our army leaves Jiayuguan, the Mongols will be like a rootless weed. Easy to beat.?
