Yarkand is located in the north of the Kunlun Mountains and the south of the Pamir Plateau. It is surrounded by the two deserts of Taklimakan and Dawakun. It is a desert city.
Ulebars, wearing sweat clothes, walked to the square in front of the palace. The palace is small in size and has a very exquisite layout. The main colors are southern and khaki. The courtyard, dome, corridors and walls are all beautiful.
"Sweat!"
"Sweat!"
"Sweat!"
The subjects of the Baishan Sect cheered, and Yusufu and Zhuo held out a crown and put it on Ulebars' head.
The cheers became louder and deafening.
Ulebars was very ambitious. After many years, he finally ascended the supreme throne. While accepting the cheers of his subjects, he secretly vowed to lead the Khanate to prosperity.
The first problem faced is the issue of foreign troops stationed.
After capturing Shache, the Heshuote and Junggar people had no intention of withdrawing their troops. The troops of the two ethnic groups stayed in Shache and refused to leave. Things that disturbed the people happened from time to time, and the people complained a lot. If this matter is not handled well,
But it will greatly damage your own prestige.
I relied on the military support of the two tribes to drive away my father and ascend to the throne of the Great Khan, but I did not dare to use force, lest I offend my benefactor.
I had no choice but to invite Erqil Tuhan and Sengge Hutaiji to have a meal to test their attitudes. I heard that many things of the Han people are decided at the dinner table. This method is good, subtle, and does not hurt harmony. I must learn from it.
.
In the main hall of the palace, there was loud drumming and music, singing and dancing, and the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves and smiling happily.
Yulbars Khan seemed to casually ask about the return date of the soldiers of the two clans, "The Great Khan, Hutai Ji, has been more kind to me Yarkand than the sky! When your army returns to the army, I will personally send it thirty miles away!"
”
Seng Ge smiled knowingly at Oqiltu Khan. These two were both human beings, and they had already discussed the terms before coming.
"Of course we have to withdraw our troops, but the soldiers have not received their rewards and refuse to leave!"
"Yes, at this time, the military expenditures for the southern expedition are huge and the national treasury is too short. Please settle the military expenditures owed so that we can return north!"
The two leaders sang in harmony and demanded military expenses.
When he heard that they were asking for money, Yulbars Khan breathed a sigh of relief. Anything in this world that could be solved with money was nothing. "I wonder, Khan, how much military expenditure does Huitai Ji need?"
Oqirtu Khan smiled and said, "I discussed with Sengge and we need five million taels. Heshuote and Junggar each have 2.5 million taels."
"What! Five million taels!"
Ulebals was so frightened that he lost his mind. After the coalition forces from various Mongolian tribes in the desert captured Yarkand, they had already robbed the treasury. For their daily expenses, they had to rely on the support of aristocratic families and nobles. How could they afford this sum?
A huge amount of money.
Turning red in the face, he said quietly: "Can it be cheaper?"
Sengge was furious, "It's cheaper, but you can say it out loud! In order to help you win the throne, how many desert warriors have spilled their blood in the Western Regions, are they allowed to die in vain?" He is a red-faced one.
Impressed by Junggar Hutaiji's momentum, Ulebals stuttered, "I-I didn't mean that, it's just that there is really no money in the treasury."
Seeing that the time was ripe, Ertu Khan of Oqil made a fool of himself and said, "We also know that after the Yarkand turmoil, you were temporarily short of money. It doesn't matter, if you don't have money, you can use land as military expenses."
"Land?"
Ulebals was shocked. Did he have to cede territory as soon as he ascended the throne? How can he live up to his ancestors? But he did not dare to refuse. These two are both jackals. If they refused, they would probably eat up nothing of themselves.<
/p>
“I don’t know what the Great Khan meant?”
Oqiltu Khan smiled, with a kind face, and said kindly: "I discussed it with Sengge. Koshgar, Ateba is lost, and the Aksai area belongs to the Heshuote tribe; Bili is lost, and Welu
Mother, the Turpan area belongs to the Junggar tribe.
Upon hearing this, Ulebars felt bitter in his heart. These are two quite large areas. Especially Turpan. Once it is ceded to Junggar, the connection between Yarkant and Hami will be severed. He gritted his teeth and said: "Turpan can be given to
Junggar, but the area around Turpan's Chali is my ancestral land and must not be allowed to be used by others."
Ulebals's grandfather was once the governor of the Turpan Fork area of the Khanate, which is indeed his ancestral land. And from here to the east, over the towering Kuruktag Mountain, you can connect to Hami.
"How can this be done? Without the strength of the fork, how can I explain it to the soldiers?" Sengge held the handle of the knife in his hand and looked directly at Ulebars.
Ulebals mustered up the courage and pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, looking back at Sengge like two bulls.
Oqiltu Khan was cunning and cunning. He knew at the first sight that he had touched Ulebars's bottom line. He calmly smoothed things over and said, "Since Chaliqiang is the ancestral land of Yarkant, so be it. Chaliqiang
It still belongs to Ye Erqiang. Ye Erqiang will also pay Junggar one million taels of silver, which will be paid off in ten years, one hundred thousand taels per year. How about that?"
Politicians are also businessmen. After some bargaining, the three parties reached an agreement and continued to exchange cups and cups, as if the dispute just now had never happened.
At the end of the song and everyone dispersed, the Junggar general Erqabog said angrily to Sengge: "Huntaiji, it was you who made Ulibas the Great Khan, and he actually dared to argue with you over Chalishi!
”
"Hahaha!"
Seng Ge laughed and said, "It's good to have disputes. Only when there are disputes can I justifiably keep you in Yarkand!"
No matter how long you stay as a guest, there is still time to go home.
Oqiltu Khan led Heshuote's army back to Ili; Sengge also led his army back to Boxali. However, he stayed behind on the pretext that the Yarkand Khanate still owed him one million taels of silver.
The confidant general Erqabok and 10,000 soldiers and horses stayed in Yarkand, which was called debt collection, but in fact controlled the national affairs of Yarkand.
Seeing that Oqirtu Khan and Sengge were gone, Yulbars Khan let out a long sigh of relief like the god of plague.
He has a lot of troubles. First of all, he is not at ease with his two uncles from the Black Mountain faction who surrendered to him. Although he once said that he would bridge the contradiction between the White Mountain and Black Mountain factions, saying it is one thing and doing it is another.

His second uncle Aji Khan and his younger uncle Ismayel still have a certain influence in the Khanate, especially Ismayel, who also has more than ten thousand Montenegrin troops left by his father Khan. Will it happen?
Against yourself?
Coincidentally, seeing that the Yarkand Khanate was weak, the Bruts and Uzbeks who had originally submitted to the Khanate launched a rebellion in the Fergana and Shiqian areas.
Ulibals Khan then appointed Ismayel as the commander-in-chief and Azi Khan as the deputy commander-in-chief to attack the Bruts and Uzbeks.
He thought he had a plan: if he won, he would put an end to the rebellion; if he lost, he could use the help of the Bruts and Uzbeks to eliminate the dissidents. Little did he know that it was foolish not to trust his political opponents and yet allow them to control the army.
Ji Er!
After thinking that the big trouble of the Montenegrin faction had been solved, another big trouble came: Erqabok, the general of the Junggar people who stayed in Yarkand, was very arrogant. In the name of collecting debts, he appointed tax officials everywhere and controlled the affairs of the Khanate.
Finance; he also bribed Yarkand officials who were pro-Zunggar and interfered in the administration and justice of the Khanate. He became the overlord of the Yarkand people.
What Erqabok did aroused the anger of the Yarkand people.
The Baishan faction and Zhuo Yusufu asked to see Ulebars, "Great Khan, the Dzungars are ambitious. Erqabok wants to annex Yarkand, so you must be on guard!"
"Master, how could I not know the ambitions of the Junggar people? It's just that I, Yarkand, have been in war for a long time and our national power is weak, so I have to endure it!"
"Great Khan, if you are not strong enough, you can take advantage of the situation. Why don't you make friends with Heshuote to deal with Junggar?"
"Humph, the old Oqirtu only knew how to curry favor with Junggar and married his granddaughter to Sengge. Now that Heshuote and Junggar are as close as one family, how can he be willing to help my Yarkand?" Ule Bals sighed heavily.
Tone.
Yu Sufu muttered: "Great Khan, the Ming Dynasty is far more powerful than the Junggar people. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has repeatedly asked us for the head of Dorji, why don't you offer your head to marry the Ming Dynasty? With the support of the Ming Dynasty, why be afraid of the Junggar people?"
”
"If I kill Dorji, I am afraid that the Heshuote people will retaliate. When the Heshuote and Junggar forces join forces to attack me, Yerqiang will be in danger."
"It's okay," Yu Sufu said with a smile, "You can secretly order Muhanmetixia, the king of Hami, to do this. If the Heshuote people blame him, blame it on Muhanmetixia. Hami is close to the Ming army.
Forgive the Heshuote people and they don’t dare to act rashly."
