PreviousBack to directoryNext
 The beautiful Volga River is so long that it connects the five sea areas of the Baltic Sea, the White Sea, the Sea of ​​Azov, the Black Sea, and the Caspian Sea.

In the delta area downstream, the majestic city of Astrakhan stands majestically.

This city was built in the 13th century and was once the capital of the Astrakhan Khanate. After the Rakshasa people annexed the Astrakhan Khanate, the city was abandoned. All the way to the Mongolian Turgut tribe in the desert

After moving here, it became the capital of the Torgut Khanate.

This is a city stained red with blood, where the first great Khan of the Torgut people and Orlek died in battle.

The Torgut Tribe is a descendant of Yuan Chen Weng Han, a branch of the Mongolian Mongols. They were originally nomadic in the Yar area near Tarbahatai.

Later, the Junggar tribe became increasingly powerful under the leadership of the wise and brave Hutaiji Batur. Batur became determined to dominate the western desert, but the leader of the Turgut tribe and Orlek were unwilling to give up to the Junggar people.

The ancestral land, led most of the Horhut tribe and part of the Durbat tribe, and the Hoshuot tribe herdsmen to move westward to the lower reaches of the Ezil River (Volga River) and established the independent Torgut Khanate.

At the beginning, their life was wonderful.

After the Rakshasa people conquered the Astrakhan Khanate, they did not really control this area. It has fertile water and grass, vast territory, and sparsely populated areas. It is the ideal fertile land for the nomads.

The Torhut people live the nomadic life passed down from generation to generation by their ancestors here. They live in the north in spring and summer, and go south in autumn and winter. The cycle starts over and over again, so happy!

After years of hard work, the banks of the lower Volga River, which were originally a desert, were finally turned into lush pastures, and cities began to take shape.

However, soon, the Rakshasa people expanded their territory to the lower reaches of the Volga River, and had fierce conflicts with the Bashkirs and Turghuts living in this area.

As a descendant of Mongolia, the Torhut cavalry was brave and good at fighting, and he and Orlek Khan were bloody men who were not willing to be humiliated. He led his tribe to fight many wars with the Rakshasa people. In 1645, in order to resist the Rakshasa invasion

, died in battle with Orlek Khan under the city of Astrakhan.

After his death in battle with Orlek Khan, his eldest son Shukur Daiqing became the second great Khan of the Torgut tribe. While resisting the invasion of the Rakshasa people, he negotiated with them to develop production and multiply internally.

Population; externally professed vassalage to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He also went to Lhasa and obtained the recognition of his Khan title from Master Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso.

After five negotiations with the Rakshasa people, he was forced to surrender to the Tsar and swear allegiance. While suffering humiliation, it also gave the tribe time to recuperate. During his reign, the national strength of the Khanate was greatly improved, and a standing army was established.

Reached 80,000 people.

Although he surrendered to the Rakshasa people, the Great Khan has always maintained his autonomy and independence in diplomacy and military affairs. He flatly refused the Tsar's request to jointly attack the Poles and their allies the Crimeans; at the same time, he also refused

Join forces with the Crimean Khanate to attack the Rakshasa people.

A few months ago, Shukuerdai Qinghan felt that he was getting old and lacked energy, so he voluntarily gave up his throne to his son Punchuk.

Punchuk Khan continued to pursue his father's established policy of strengthening ties with China while easing conflicts with the Rakshasa people. In order to strengthen traditional friendship with other Mongolian tribes, he even married the daughter of his old enemy Huitai Jigaldan of the Junggar tribe.

Sister.

News just came out some time ago that Punchuk Khan's brother-in-law Galdan was defeated by the Ming army and surrendered.

??

A burly middle-aged man with a cinnabar-like face and piercing eyes was standing on the top of the city of Astrakhan, staring at the eleven islands connected by canals and streams. He was Turhu

The third great Khan of the Khanate, Punchuk Khan.

The Astrakhan area is composed of eleven islands. Standing on the top of the city, they are dotted all over the city, which is very beautiful. Punchuk Khan admired the beautiful scenery and remained motionless.

"Father!"

A young man about twenty years old, with fair complexion and good looks, ran in frantically. He was Ayuqi, the son of Punchuk Khan.

"The envoys of Crimean Khan and Bashkir Khan have arrived."

The Crimean Khanate, also called the Crimean Khanate, was founded by a descendant of Jochi, the eldest son of Genghis Khan.

Village). At this time, they were vassals of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and had always been enemies of the Rakshasa people. There were countless large and small battles between the two sides.

The Bashkir Khanate lives in the area between the Volga River, the Kama River and the Ural Mountains. This is an ancient nation. There is a theory that they are descendants of the Magyars who did not leave the Ural Mountains. In the Secret History of Mongolia,

His name is Bazjiti.

After the Rakshasa people invaded the lower reaches of the Volga River, the Bashkirs were forced to surrender, but they were bullied and oppressed. The name of the Bashkirs means "leading wolf", which shows that they are tough and they are not willing to give in.

Enduring the oppression of the Rakshasa? After being forced to surrender to the Rakshasa, the Bashkirs launched countless uprisings.

"Oh, let the envoys come to my big tent to discuss matters," Punchukhan said lightly.

??

Although they occupy some cities such as Astrakhan and Volga, most Torgut herdsmen are still used to living in yurts and living a nomadic life.

Punchuk's sweat tent is very large and can accommodate more than a hundred people.

The envoys of Crimean Khan and Bashkir Khan entered the Khan tent.

"Wise and wise King Khan, I have brought you the friendship of Khan Golay IV of Kerim. He has asked you to jointly fight against the brutal Rakshasa people and regain the land of our ancestors that was robbed by them." Kerim Khan

The envoy spoke first.

"Yes, the great Punchuk Khan, if you agree to unite with us, the Crimeans and Bashkirs will live and die with you."

The Crimeans, like the Bashkirs, believe in the true God, so they often unite to resist the Rakshasas.

At this time, Grai IV, who was ruling the Crimean Khanate, was a passionate young man who wanted to regain the land that had been taken away by the Rakshasa people. He planned to send troops to attack the Rakshasa people and sent people to contact Baja who lived in the lower reaches of the Volga River.

The Shkir and Kalmyk people (the name of Tsarist Russia for the Turghut and other Moxi tribes who moved to the lower reaches of the Volga River), so this scene happened.

Punchuk Khan, who had a resolute personality, was a happy man. He laughed and said: "I said that the sunshine today is exceptionally warm. It turns out that we have a distinguished guest. I agreed to send troops. Come and kill the cattle and cook them."

Sheep, entertain two distinguished guests!"

The two envoys were sent away with singing and dancing. Young Ayuqi looked excited and said, "Father, this is really a happy thing. I finally have the opportunity to teach those damn Rakshasa people a lesson! When do you plan to send troops?"
There is a reason why Prince Ayuqi hates the Rakshasa people. Not only because his great-grandfather, the first Great Khan of the Khanate and Orluk died in their hands, but also because they persecuted the Turgut and other ethnic groups who moved into the Volga River Basin.

suffered brutal persecution.

The Rakshasa people demanded that the Turghuts must surrender to Russia; their territory and pastoral areas must be limited, and they must not move around; they must send troops to fight for Russia; they must pay tribute and trade with Russia.

The most irritating thing is that they require the Turhut people to change their beliefs, give up Buddhism, and convert to Orthodox Christianity. This is completely unacceptable to the Turhut people.

The young and energetic Prince Ayuqi has long had the intention of attacking the Rakshasa people.

"No, Menihu (my son), we will not send troops. You immediately send people to unite the Crimeans and Bashkirs against Russia's plan, tell the Rakshasa people, and advise them to march along the Volga River.

Rivers and Ural Rivers to build fortifications to defend against possible attacks by the Crimean Khanate.
