Chapter 1 The Kingdom of Truchen (Part 1)

 When Ah Hai returned, Qitad took his wife to the Port of Yesk in person to greet him, which was the first time in the history of the Khanate.

After returning to Stavropol, Qitad smiled and said to her, "Ahai, you are twenty-two years old this year. According to the rules of the Khanate, all women who come out of school are over the age of marriage. If you have any ideas, just say it, your father Khan will definitely make the decision for you."

Since experiencing the inexplicable things in Russia, Ahai's longing for Wobasi has faded a lot, but there has always been something hidden in her heart. If she doesn't ask about it now, she is afraid that there will be no chance again.

"Thank you, my father, I already have a candidate in my heart, but I still have a question before that."

"oh?"

"Father Khan, for Russia, why should we protect Peter III instead of Queen Ekaterina?"

At this time, Bayar also came back. According to Qitad's idea, once the issue of inheritance of the Russian throne was about, people like him should not be placed there. At the same time, the ministers of the Khanate were also present.

Naturally, Qitad cannot be said to be because Caterina's ability is far stronger than Peter III. Although she was a German, all the national policies she formulated were based on the interests of Russia. This situation was very unfavorable to the Khanate.

It is now the spring of 1763. The situation of the Khanate is getting better and better day by day. It is appropriate to describe it as a thriving day, but it is not easy for the Khanate to survive in a dangerous situation.

What he is worried about now is not military issues. According to the Khanate's current generational firearms, training methods and mobility capabilities, by the way, mobility capabilities are very important. The Khanate currently has more than 200,000 herders, and nearly four million horses are tied to each year.

Among them, nearly 400,000 horses can be used as war horses, while the herders handed over nearly 100,000 war horses to the Khanate every year. In addition, the Khanate state-owned horse farms have a stock of nearly 150,000 war horses each year.

There are more horses to plow and pick up horses, and the annual stock of nearly one million horses is close to one million. With these horses, herders can sell them to farmers in large quantities. With cattle and sheep, they live no worse than farmers.

Of course, this is due to the effective and reasonable management of pastures and herdsmen in the Khanate. Otherwise, if it is still the tradition of the old grassland, no matter how rich the herdsmen are, they will be as rich as they are.

Needless to mention the advanced firearms, the approach to postmodern training methods made the Truchen soldiers' individual quality far stronger than those of Europe and Central Asian countries, and with their strong maneuverability, if the Khanate had a war with Russia at this time, he would be very confident that he would win it in one battle.

But the Khanate is fragile, with different ethnic groups, cultures, languages ​​and religions. Although he implemented the practice of allowing children and young people of appropriate age to enter schools and the army, and then publicize them in Truchen's unique way, it would take time to make Truchen culture truly influence everyone in the Khanate.

It takes a long time.

He "awakened" in 1745 and embarked on the path of revitalization. It has only been eighteen years since then. During this period, due to the continuous absorption of new populations, the time for integration has been continuously extended.

Of course, his basic foundation lies in two aspects.

One is a herdsman who mainly believes in the mixed Lamaism, Iranianism, and Shamanism, which mainly consists of 60,000 Turkuts, 80,000 Kazakhs, and 60,000 Junggar herders.

The so-called hybrid refers to the fact that at this time, whether it is the Erath or the Kazakhs, although the main religions on the surface are Lamaism and Islam, the influence of the shamanic tradition on them is still far-reaching.

The author went to the Kazakh prairie in later generations. The herders there are still mixed beliefs between Islamic Buddhism and Shamanism, or they use Islamic Buddhism as their skin, but the core is Shamanism.

This is also easy to understand. Shamanism is similar to Taoism. It believes that all things have spirits and each has their own gods. Under this belief, they can perfectly integrate with the environment of the prairie and enjoy it. It is not easy for other religions to fade away.

Just like the Han farmers of the Central Plains dynasty, they can be Buddhists, Taoists, and Confucians, but they are still clans at heart and have a natural awe of ancestors and order.

One is the 50,000 Han farmers he had worked hard to get from the Qing Dynasty. These 50,000 farmers were all Han people in Shaanxi and Gansu. Although they also had the same awe of order as all Han people, they had a stronger sense of strength in the deep border areas.

These 250,000 families and more than one million people are their basic base.

At this point, they have obviously highly recognized the rule of the Khanate.

But there are also a large number of Islamists, mainly Azerbaijani, Tatarstan, and Chechens, with a number of nearly three million, which is the largest number of Khanate. Their Islamic beliefs are obviously far more pious than those of the Kazakhs. How easy is it to integrate them in a short period of time?

In addition, there are about 100,000 Christians who cannot digest them in a short period of time and can only give in vain.

However, he has taken over Azerbaijan, Tatarstan and Chechnya for almost five years. The earliest group of children have graduated from school and entered all walks of life in the Khanate. Their influence is huge. If he is given another five years, a large number of students will graduate every year, and by the tenth year, the situation will be new.

That's because, according to the current practice of Qitad, about 5% of children of appropriate age enter the school to study every year, and three million Islamists are 150,000.

150,000 a year, and ten years later it will be 1.5 million!

It took one million and a half million people to dilute other Islamists, not to mention that Qitad also implemented the rule that men and women would enroll together. At that time, men would influence the headquarters at work and women would influence the family and descendants. The scene would not be too wonderful.

But he still needs time.

Actually, he didn't know what Peter III was, but he knew that the reason why the Seven Years War ended early and the Prussian Kingdom survived under the siege of European countries was because of his existence!

He was half a German and admired Frederick the Great. As soon as he came to power, he completely recalled the troops arranged in Prussia. You should know that the most numerous troops besieged the Kingdom of Prussia are the Russian army!

The Russian army's tactics of not fearing death made Frederick afraid of them more than the Austrian army that emerged in large numbers!

It can be said that Peter III saved Frederick and Prussia. Otherwise, the scattered situation in the German region would have to last for many years. It was because Prussia remained tenaciously that the foundation for them to unify Germany was laid.

Otherwise, the German region would still be the main battlefield for European parliament hunting, or a chaotic era of nations.

Qitad seemed to see his own shadow in Prussia. Although the Khanate had the military dominance, the financial strength of the Prussian Kingdom, which had the Baltic estuary, was not comparable to that of him. The annual fiscal revenue of a mere 5 million people was as high as 12 million silver coins!

The existence of Prussia also confirms a truth that even if your nation has roughly the same beliefs, it is not foolproof.

Interests, or interests, are the only way to govern the country.

Thinking of this, Qitad said, "Didn't you see one thing? Peter III has admired Frederick very much since he was a child. Once our country forms an alliance with Prussia, Russia will not be able to directly attack us, which creates time for us to integrate the internal situation."

"Time, only time is our biggest enemy"

This explanation is indeed straightforward, but everyone is still confused. However, Qitade didn't want to explain further. He still looked at Ah Hai, "Ah Hai, you can tell the person you think now."

Then he coughed lightly. Seeing this, everyone knew that it was not suitable for this time and continued to stay. Headed by Bayar, except for the three wives of Qitad, everyone left to the lounge on one side.

Ahai was moved. He knew that this was the Khan who wanted her to choose a young talent in China. No matter who she was, she didn't want to be shy anymore. For her own happiness, she had to make a choice as soon as possible.

She thought for a while and said, "Father Khan, it's not that Ah Hai is shameless, but that this matter is very important and I can't make up my mind."

Qitade smiled and said, "Then you always have a range."

In fact, he already had several candidates in his mind. There were not many young men who were unmarried in the empire who were worthy of Ah Hai, and he could count them with one hand.

Ah Hai's face turned red and lowered his head. He didn't say anything for a while. Qitade didn't know what to say. At this time, Jia En spoke.

"Khan, if Ah Hai doesn't dislike it, my youngest son Ashalai is OK. He is twenty-five years old this year, but he hasn't gotten married yet. He originally told him about Dataiji's daughter, but he has never agreed."

When Qitade saw Ah Hai's three words "Ashalai", his figure moved clearly and realized that there was a chance.

However, Turando also said at this time: "Ahai, my younger brother Sang Kun is only twenty-eight years old this year. He has been busy in the workshop and has not talked about marriage. What do you think?"

Seeing that Ah Hai had not spoken yet, Qitade said, "Ah Hai, if you have other candidates, you might as well say it now, otherwise there will be no store after passing through this village."

Ah Hai finally raised his head and said.

Her voice was very light, like a mosquito hummed.

But Qitad heard it clearly.

He has already learned about Ah Hai clearly from Bayar. In fact, you can understand the difficulty of cultural integration from Ah Hai.

Ahai, a person who has been educated at all levels of Truchen, and has been trained by the Intelligence Department and even Takitad himself, got lost in the first place when he arrived in the big city of St. Petersburg, Russia. Although she had her vision and background problems, Ahai was like this, let alone others.

Obviously, she admired the various dances and salons of the Russian nobles very much, and probably yearned for their large number of mistresses and lovers. She also admired women like Elizabeth and Caterina so much that they could become emperors.

Asalai was a member of the Moscow Guards before and received Russian education for a long time. His words and deeds naturally had some Russian style. It was extremely natural for Ah Hai to like him.

"Okay, the third lady will tell you about Ashalai. Ahai, remember, you are the eldest princess of our country and have been registered in the genealogy."

......

Ah Hai's marriage was finalized like this. As for Ah Shalai, who is currently in a high position as a brigade commander, is extremely envious of Ah Hai's affairs that has controlled the Russian government with his own strength. He is also the eldest princess of the Khanate. Being able to marry such a woman was a blessing he had cultivated in his previous life.

When his mother told him about this, he agreed without any hesitation.

A month later, Qitad personally held a grand wedding for Ahai and Asalai in Stavropol. The wedding was unprecedented. Friendly forces around, such as Ottomans, Crimea, Persia, Dorbastan, Ashgabad, Shiva Turkmen, Kazakhsakh, Prussia, Southern Poland, and Russia, all sent people to attend.

A few days after Ah Hai and his friends got married, Qitade's new appointment was issued.

"Asalai was promoted to major general and served as the plenipotentiary ambassador of the Kingdom to the Baltic countries. Ah Hai went with him"

The so-called plenipotentiary ambassador to the Baltic countries naturally refers to Russia, Poland and Prussia. He asked Asalai to preside over the matter and asked Ashai to go with him. It was obviously a killing of two birds with one stone. This is a later statement, so let me talk about it later.

When Ashalai and Ahai were accepted, everyone heard the "kingdom" rather than the Khanate.

Chitard explained: "Just a few days ago, I reached an agreement with Peter III and Frederick II."

"From today on, I accepted the suggestion of both of them and will rule our country in the name of the Grand Duke Truchen and the King. My Kreit family can also marry the Normanov family and the Hohenzollern family. Of course, if you enter the other country, you will naturally convert to other religions."
