Chapter 638: Russian Envoy

Wearing a traditional Russian robe "Sarafan" and a mustache, Bubiney sat upright on the horse in high spirits. His robe was made of silk and embroidered with patterns of fish and lotus leaves. The style was actually similar to that of the Ming Dynasty.

The robe looks very similar.

The reason for this is attributed to the Mongols.

Since Batu led his army to defeat the Russian coalition in 1240, the Mongolian aristocrats have ruled Russia for three centuries. The Golden Horde they established is the longest-lasting of the four Mongolian khanates.

The influence of the nation, especially the Russians, is profound. It can be said that the early history of Russia is a history of blood and tears of resisting and getting rid of the Mongol rulers. The Mongolians of the Golden Horde at that time all wore traditional Chinese costumes, and Bubinei’s dress

It’s not surprising that they look like Han people.

In many TV dramas of later generations that reflected this era, the Russian nobles wore dragon robes. Many people thought that the director did not understand history and was making things up. In fact, this was the wrong dress. The Russian nobles at this time wore embroidered robes.

Robes with dragon patterns are very common.

Bubiney was sent as an envoy to Junggar on the order of Tsar Alexei. His majesty the tsar, who was talented and resourceful, asked him to go to Boxeri to negotiate with Junggar Hutaiji Sengge and make the Sengage surrender to Russia.

Tsar Alexei of Russia was a promising monarch. Since he came to the throne, he has carried out a series of reforms and launched many foreign wars.

He confronted the powerful enemy Sweden in the north; he confronted the feuding Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania in the west; he faced Ukraine, which belonged to Poland, and the locust-like Cossack cavalry on the Ukrainian steppes in the southwest; he faced Turkey in the south, and Turkey's vassal state of Kerry.

Fighting in the Mu Khanate.

The thirty-one-year-old young tsar had a huge appetite and an insatiable need for territory. He had just finished the Polish War and fought several times with Turkey for Eastern Ukraine, officially annexing Eastern Ukraine on the east bank of the Dnieper River.

Russian territory.

The aggressive military use led to constant domestic uprisings, including the Pskov and Novgorod uprisings, both of which were ruthlessly suppressed.

The people's uprising cannot extinguish the ambition of His Majesty the Tsar. If he can rule over all nations, what does it matter if a few untouchables make trouble?

Tsar Alexei believed that he was the first emperor of all time, and his eyes should not only be on the west. The distant east was also his back garden. But the east was too far away to mobilize troops and supplies on a large scale. I heard that the Eastern Empire

There is a famous saying: "Subduing the enemy's troops without fighting is the best way to do good." Wouldn't it be great if we could only use words to make the powerful Junggar people surrender to me without fighting?

The young tsar had a good idea, so he appointed Bubinet and Kurvinsky as the principal and deputy envoys to Junggar.

Bubinet was thinking about the peace talks when deputy envoy Kurvinsky jumped on his horse and said, "Your Excellency, this is Jimunai, and further south is Boxeri, the capital of the Junggar people. Regarding this trip,

What do you think?"

"I'll go to Boxer to talk to Sengge, and you can go to the Irtysh River to talk to Chuhu'er Ubash. I heard that Chuhu'er Ubash is Sengge's uncle, and he's no less powerful in the Junggar tribe.

Yu Sengge, if we can persuade him to surrender to His Majesty the Tsar, great things can be accomplished."

"Don't Chuhuer Ubas also have to obey Sengge's orders? Is it useful to talk to him?" Kurvinsky was a little doubtful.

"No, I heard that Chuhur Ubas has always been dissatisfied with the Sangha. If you go, you might as well sow discord and win him over to serve His Majesty the Tsar," Bubinet said coldly.

"Huntaiji, the Rakshasa people's envoys have arrived," Aralbai, the chief of Aimaq, reported respectfully to Sengge in the Huetaiji Mansion in Boxerli City.

"Humph, let him in. Ben Huitaiji is just asking him for the tribute of Tereuti," the young monk snorted coldly.

The Rakshasa people's ambition towards Mongolia has a long history. As early as the period of Sengge's father, Batur Hutaiji, the starting point of the Tsar's policy towards Mongolia was to "try his best to turn the princes and rulers of Oirat into Russian subjects through peaceful means."

, turn the residents who are subordinate to these princes and rulers into residents who provide taxes in kind to the Russian treasury, and turn the areas where they live into Russian territory.” The letter written by the authorities in Tobolsk, Siberia to the Russian border authorities is very clear.

Explicit: "Look for new states that do not pay taxes in kind to Russia, and use force if necessary."

While they brought gifts to bribe the Dzungarian nobles, they also sent troops to conquer the Ksargal and Terewit people of the Dzungarian tribe.

Batur Hutaiji fought many battles with the Rakshasa people. After Sengge came to the throne, he inherited his father's hard line and insisted that the Rakshasa people return the Terel Uti Gongmin who originally submitted to Junggar.

The two sides both used each other and fought against each other. They went back and forth and fought many times.

"God bless you, dear Huitaiji, you are as wise and wise as your father!" As soon as they met, Bubinet put a high hat on Sengge's head.

"Dear envoy, please go back and tell your great monarch that I, Sengge, have inherited my father's inheritance and become the Hutaiji of Junggar. I hope that your great monarch can live in peace with me."

Bubinet said with a smile: "Of course, no matter what, we are all friends."

"Friends?"

Seng Ge's tone became sharp, "Since we are friends, why do you want to detain the Tereuti people? They have surrendered to Junggar for generations and have paid taxes to me. You Rakshasa people have no right to collect taxes from them."

Upon hearing this, Bubinet was not to be outdone, "I have brought greetings from His Majesty the Tsar. I hope you will accept His Majesty's noble rule and serve the great monarch wholeheartedly."

"Go back and tell your great monarch that if he does not return my subjects, I will lead my troops to fight for it." With Sengge's decisive words, the meeting broke up unhappily.

Kurvinsky also hit a wall with Chuhuur Ubas.

He came to Chuhu'er Ubas' big tent on the bank of the Irtysh River and presented a generous gift. The gift list was very generous, and Chuhu'er Ubas was very happy.

A good start may not lead to success.

"Churhuur Ubastaj, please stand up and accept the letter and gift from His Majesty the Tsar," Kurvinsky put on the air of going to the country.

"What! Let me stand up and accept it! Am I a vassal of the great monarch, and I want to accept his gifts and letters in such a respectful and undignified manner? You all leave Ulus and go back to Tomsk.

I also brought back all the gifts and letters from the monarch! No matter in other Taiji eras in the past or in my own experience, there has never been a precedent of standing instead of sitting down to receive gifts and letters from the monarch."

Chuhuer Ubastaji was so angry that his beard was flying, and ordered Kurvinsky to be driven out.

"Come back," he suddenly shouted: "Go back and ask your great monarch, which is better, war? Or peace? If you don't return the tributes of Tereuti, I, Chuhu'er, will kill him (referring to

The towns under the jurisdiction of the Tsar and the entire Tomsk County were razed to the ground. Am I no longer able to draw my bow, fire a gun, or fence?"

The two strongmen of Junggar reached a consensus to regain Teleuti, and the war began.

The Sengge sent Danzin and Shuoqi, and Abaha led 5,000 cavalry into Krasnoyarsk. The Dzungars showed off their power on the banks of the Kemuzik River. They thought there was a tough battle. Unexpectedly, the Rakshasa people gave up and agreed.

The Kachin, Ali, Kamasin and other Tereuti tribes not only taxed the tsar, but also paid tribute to the Dzungars.

Sengge was not satisfied and wanted to expand his victory, but news came that the Ming army had captured Yarkand.
