At the same time, a short man spoke fluent Mongolian, standing in a gorgeous tent, facing a tall, strong, middle-aged man with deep eye sockets in gorgeous clothes and said: "I
Burahan Wogulun Khan, my brother, the Khan of the Chagatai Khanate, Shami Chagan, sent me to meet with the king. The purpose of the Khan has been known. Is the king willing to join forces with me, the Chagatai Khanate?
Against the Tamerlane Khanate?”
This short and stout man is the younger brother of Shamechagan, named Mahama; the person in front of him is the Khan of the Blue Horde, Ibrahan Wogulun.
The Blue Horde Khanate was also founded by Jochi's son. Jochi's fifth son, Xiban, made great achievements in Hungary when he followed Batu in his western expedition. After Bandu, Batu divided the Ural River Basin and the southern Ural Mountains.
Create a fiefdom for him. Because all the big tents in the past were blue, they named it the Blue Tent Khanate.
After thinking for a moment, Ibrahim Ogulun pointed out the essence of the matter sharply: "Where are we joining forces with your Chagatai Khanate? We are obviously taking advantage of the war between Timur and the Ming Dynasty."
Mahama was slightly embarrassed, but he immediately put this useless emotion out of his mind and continued: "This is also helpless. Now we Mongolians are divided and cannot form a joint force. We cannot defeat the Timur Khanate at all. We can only
Use external forces to deal with him. Is the Great Khan willing to deal with the Timur Khanate?"
Ibrahim Wogulun pondered for a long time and said to Mahama: "Our Blue Horde Khanate is not bordering the Timur Khanate now, and we have no enmity. Why should we risk angering Timur?
Against his khanate?"
"Because the Great Khan is a Mongolian, we Mongolians will always have brave blood flowing in our bodies!"
Mahama first put a high hat on Ibrahim Ogulun, and then said: "And Timur has great ambitions. Although there are still White Khans between the Blue Horde Khanate and Timur Khanate.
country, but Kolijak Khan has always wanted to take the Khanate to the place across the Caspian Sea. If not, how could the Great Khan occupy the Sary River area without much effort?"
"When Kolijak Khan takes all his subjects to the other side of the Caspian Sea, there will be no obstacles between the Blue Horde Khanate and the Timur Khanate. By then, even if the Blue Horde Khanate does not want to go to war with the Timur Khanate,
I can't help you, King Khan."
Mahama's words were correct, and Ibrahim Ugurun had no way to refute. After a while, Ibrahim Ugurun said: "In that case, I will join forces with the Chagatai Khanate to deal with
Tamerlane Khanate. But let me make it clear that I will never take the initiative to send troops to attack Timur Khanate before Timur Khanate is defeated by the Ming Dynasty in the east." Since everyone is a smart person, at this time
There were only the two of them and a few closest guards in the palace, so there was no need for him to tell lies and directly told Mahama his bottom line.
Mahama had already guessed this before he came, so he was not surprised. He bowed and said, "Then I will return to our Chagatai Khanate and tell my brother."
"Leaving in such a hurry? It's winter now." Ibrahim Wogulun asked in surprise.
"If you don't go in winter, you won't be able to go in spring. Now the area around Lake Balkhash and the Aral Sea has been occupied by the Timurid Khanate. From the Blue Horde Khanate to the White Horde Khanate to the Chagatai Khanate, you can only go through the Timurid Khanate.
In the Muer Khanate, walking in spring is likely to be stopped. Even if walking on the grassland in winter is dangerous, you can only walk in winter," Mahama said.
"Then we can't leave today." Ibrahim Wogulun said: "There are brothers coming from the east, how can they just spend one night in our Blue Horde Khanate and then leave? I have to entertain them for a few days."
Mahama looked up at Ibrahim Wogulun inexplicably. He didn't want to leave today, he just said that he would leave before spring. It's still snowing now, no matter how crazy he is, it won't snow.
Tian left here. However, there was no need for him to correct Ibrahim Ogulun's point of view, and he nodded in agreement.
But Mahama felt very uncomfortable after living here for only one day. On the first day he came here, he saw Ibrahim Wokulun and his guards, whose looks were somewhat similar to those of Westerners.
I am particularly concerned that the Mongolians do not pay much attention to bloodline like the Han people. Many of Genghis Khan’s children look different from orthodox Mongolians, so this is not a big problem.
But their living customs are completely different from those of the Mongols in the East, which is a big problem. Mahama has also been to the Timur Khanate. In his opinion, although the customs of the Blue Horde Khanate are different from those of Timur Khan
There are some differences between the two countries, but they are similar and have become completely Turkic.
The tiny hope that Shami Chagan had when he met with Kolijak failed to come true. How could the Blue Horde further northeast of the White Horde still maintain pure Mongolian customs?
A few days later, Mahama, who finally waited until the snow stopped, decided to return to the Chagatai Khanate, regardless of Ibrahan Wogulun's attempts to stay. Seeing that Mahama was determined to leave Ibrahan Wogulun, he decided not to leave.
To persuade him to stay, he asked Mahama to bring the things he gave to Shamichagan, and sent a few people who were familiar with geography to lead the way, and sent Mahama away from the Blue Horde Khanate the next day.
Before Mahama left, he looked at the back of Ibrahan Wogulun and sighed similar to Samichagan: "They are no longer Mongols, although Ibrahan Wogulun still has the golden family in him."
Even if my eldest brother's plan succeeds in the future, reunifying these completely Turkic people will be completely different from the great empire of Genghis Khan.'
'But at last Ibrahan Wogulun was willing to deal with the Timur Khanate, and it was not in vain.'
…
…
Although Shami Chagan and Mahama were a little disappointed during this trip, and the Blue Horde Khanate and the White Horde Khanate had also become Turkic, at least they achieved half of their goals and got the Khans of these two khanates to agree to an alliance with Chahe
The Taiwan Khanate joined forces to deal with the Timur Khanate. But the last envoy sent by Shamichagan failed to achieve his mission.
"Huo Aalun, go back and tell Shami Chagan, the Great Khan of the Chagatai Khanate, that I will not fight against the Tamerlane Khanate with you." Shadibe Khan, the Great Khan of the Golden Horde, told Shami Chagan.
Chagan's messenger Huo A'lan said.
"But, sweat..." Huo A'lan was still trying hard.
"Nothing!" Shadibe Khan said: "I will not join hands with you. You should leave my Golden Horde as soon as possible. If you are still in Salai City after three days, I will tie you up.
Give it to Timur."
Huo Alen was not afraid of death, so he still tried to persuade Shadibie Khan; but Shadibie Khan stopped listening to him and ordered the guards in Turkic language to take him out. There was a guard with blond hair and blue eyes and a guard with brown hair and green eyes.
The guard stepped forward to drive him out.
Huo Allen had no choice but to walk out of the palace by himself.
Huo Alen, who left the Golden Horde Palace, looked at the dilapidated buildings on the street that were stained by smoke and fire, and returned dejectedly to the post house where Shadibek Khan had placed them.
When he came back, other people who came here from the Chagatai Khanate with Huo Aalun asked: "Did Shadibeh Khan agree to work with our Chagatai Khanate to deal with the Timur Khanate?"
"No," Huo Allen shook his head and said, "He never agreed."
"Why?" Deputy Ambassador Haliha said strangely: "Just three years ago, Timur led troops to capture the city of Sarai and burned the city. Even Shadibek Khan was supported by Timur.
Don’t you have resentment against Timur in your heart? We didn’t ask him to immediately raise an army to deal with Timur. We just gathered the army to prepare for an attack after Timur’s defeat. Why didn’t we agree?”
No one could answer this question. Huo A'lan said: "Shadibe Khan stayed for three days after all. During these three days, let's inquire in the city and see why." Although it is of little significance to find out the reason at present.
, but you must always know the reason, and you can explain it to your own Khan King Shamichagan after you return.
They immediately made inquiries in the city. Although there were very few people with pure oriental looks in the Golden Horde at this time, it was not impossible. They also spoke Turkic, so they easily found out something in the Oros-style tavern.
It turns out that although Shadibe Khan was the king of the Golden Horde at this time, he failed to control the power of the Golden Horde. The leader of the Nogai tribe also controlled the actual power of the Golden Horde.
Of course, Shadibeh was dissatisfied with this situation and had been trying to seize power from Yedigai. At the same time, because Timur was unable to directly rule the vast area of the Golden Horde, he actually supported the two of them in their fight.
Under such circumstances, how could Shadibe Khan still have the energy to deal with the Timur Khanate?
At the same time, the western border of the Golden Horde was also unstable. The Grand Duchy of Lithuania was very powerful at this time and went to war with the Golden Horde in Belarus and Ukraine. Although the Golden Horde was not defeated again and again, it could not drive away the Lithuanians.
Get out of there.
The Oros people in the northwest are also restless. Twenty years ago, the Principality of Moscow, under the leadership of the monarch, defeated the invading Golden Horde Khan army. This was the first time in history that the Oros people defeated the Mongols and broke the Mongolian
The myth of invincibility greatly inspired the Oros people's self-confidence; later, although the Principality of Muscovy had to surrender to the Golden Horde, it was no longer as submissive as before.
Moreover, separatist forces are also sprouting in the Khanate. Huo Aalun doesn’t even need to ask specifically. He can see it by looking at both sides of the road: people who believe in Tianfang religion and people who believe in Christianity are clearly distinct, and they rarely interact with each other, even in lawsuits.
They were all in the Inquisition. Originally, the Christians were peaceful, but after the rise of the Muscovy Principality, they were ready to take action.
Three days later, Huo Aalun and others, who had gone separately to inquire about the news, met up and exchanged the information they had gathered. After hearing this, Haliha said: "These information are all collected from the streets and alleys, so they may not be accurate."
"Haliha," Huo Aalun said: "No, these news should be accurate, except that Yedigai and Shadibe Khan may not be so tit-for-tat. Ordinary people may not know about the struggle of the Khan kings, but whether the country is affected by other
The people in the capital must know this when the country violently attacks them."
"We will return to the Khanate immediately and tell the Khan what we saw and heard here, so that the Khan can make preparations in advance."
