The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

This music box can not only play beautiful music, but also tell the time. It has always been Naum Vasilyev's favorite. When resting at night, Naum Vasilyev always likes to come out and listen. But at this time, in order to borrow troops, Naum Vasilyev could only reluctantly give up his love.

"Master Taiji, I still have a gift, a gift you will love." Naum Vasilyev said loudly to attract Ayuqi's attention.

"Oh? What gift do you have?"

A Yuqi was still young after all, and he was really attracted, he asked curiously.

"On my horse, on my horse! I will bring it to you, you will like it after reading it. It is something that moves and screams." Naum Vasiliev said.

"Then you go get it quickly."

A Yuqi was more interested in something that moved and called. He ordered Naum Vasilyev to bring it immediately.

At the moment Naum Vasilyev hurried away to get the music box, Ayuqi talked with Gelu and Galdanzering.

"It moves and screams? Isn't it an interesting bird? I heard that there is a bird called a parrot that speaks human words." Galdan Celing guessed curiously.

"Yes, Ayuqi. I also think it may be something like birds and beasts." Lama Gelug echoed.

"Whatever it is, you will know it after a while." A Yuqi wiped her lips and said.

However, unlike everyone’s guess, what Naum Vasilyev brought was neither a bird nor a beast, but a small box with a square. Inside the box there is a small house made of wood. The surroundings of the house are decorated with silk and cotton cloth decorated with vines, flowers, and figures of little people on the base. On the white disk with a strange symbol in the middle of the house, the three small needles can turn by themselves.

A Yuqi and others had never seen the music box, and for a while, everyone's eyes were attracted by this small box without exception. However, before people could see it, a small door in the small house in front of them suddenly opened automatically. A cuckoo sprang out of it and immediately yelled at the crowd three times with "cuckoo, cuckoo, and cuckoo".

This unexpected incident really shocked Ayuqi and others at the scene. The expression was like the first time the Aztecs in South America heard the sound of gunfire.

And the two Kalmyk cavalry who were escorting Naum Vasilyev just now also showed fear, and one by one they jumped long distances.

Seeing this reaction from Ayuqi and others, Naum Vasilyev immediately felt a sense of contempt.

Just when Naum Vasilyev was triumphant, something very happy and sad happened.

However, he saw Lama Gelug sitting next to Ayuqi quickly stood up, then raised his own Buddha statue and rushed forward and smashed the music box that was still screaming, and he was still chanting Buddhist scriptures about warding off evil spirits. Naum Vasilyev reacted and was about to scold him, but saw that the lama pointed at Naum Vasilyev with a Buddhist warrior and shouted loudly: "Emissary sent by the devil, do you want to seize Taiji's soul!" "

Saying this to Glu, almost everyone had murderous intent on their faces. Thinking of the way I was attracted by that house just now, I really felt like my soul was out of my body. Looking at the house that had been broken into pieces, it really felt like it could enclose the soul of a person in the house.

Ayuqi is the khan of the future Kalmyk Khanate, and he is deeply supported by the people. This Huang Maozi wants to assassinate Ayuqi, how can he not commit public anger.

The most angry person at the scene was Gardan Tsering. But he didn't hesitate to say: "Come here! Pull this demon out of me and burn it to death!"

"Innocent!"

Naum Vasilyev burst into tears for an instant. He pushed **** the ground with his two fat legs, not allowing the Kalmyk cavalry to drag himself away.

"Wait!"

Just as Naum Vasilyev was about to be dragged down to death, Ayuqi stopped Gardan Tsering's actions. He picked up the broken self-ringing bell fragments on the ground and carefully observed the parts inside. He even picked up the gears intertwined.

After a while, A Yuqi seemed to understand something. He laughed loudly.

"That's it, that's how it is."

Ayuqi raised the gears, and he said to Galdan Celing and Gelug: "Look, this is the mystery of the bird's sound just now. These gears drove the device inside, and then made a sound. Me. Is that right? Naum Vasilyev's hands."

"Taiji Wisdom!" Naum Vasilyev said with a smiling face beside him.

Then, Ayuqi ignored the shocked gaze of others and gave Naum Vasilyev to sit down. He said to Naum Vasilyev: "Thank you for your gift, messenger of the Tsar. This is a good thing. My people are reckless and broke it. But if you still have it, I I am willing to exchange horses for you. Or other things like this, such as muskets."

Naum Vasilyev nearly walked through the ghost gate. He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and then said: "Taiji, although such an object is also a rare treasure in our Tsarist Russia, if you like our Tsar, of course you will not be stingy. Because your majesty hopes that the Kalmyk Khanate will become Friends of Tsarist Russia. You know, friends should be mutually..."

Naum Vasilyev said, making a hand gesture to himself, and then to Ayuqi.

What a smart person Ayuqi is. He immediately understood that Naum Vasilyev, or the Czar of Tsarist Russia, wanted to ask for himself.

Sure enough, there was nothing to offer courtesy, whoever treacherous or steals.

But Ayuqi turned off the topic and still asked stubbornly: "What about the musket?"

Naum Vasilyev froze. He understood that Ayuqi didn't let himself go because he likes to ring the bell, but fell in love with the muskets of Tsarist Russia.

Although the muskets of Tsarist Russia were cumbersome and heavy, they were notoriously backward in Europe, but even such weapons were difficult for nomads to obtain. In order to prevent the nomads in the territory from being able to resist itself, Tsarist Russia strictly prohibited the inflow of firearms into their hands.

In the past, even if Ayuqi moved out of Jinshan Yinshan, Naum Vasilyev would not buy him a firearm. But now Naum Vasilyev can't take much care of him in order to regain Cherkessk.

"Musket, of course, is also possible." Naum Vasilyev said.

"So what does your czar want?"

Ayuqi asked eagerly when Naum Vasilyevken sold himself a musket. Ayuqi had personally seen how powerful a musket was in the conflict with the Cossacks and the Tsarist Russian army. Even in the brave warrior, in front of the musket, it is almost the same as a three-year-old child. Ayuqi hopes to obtain muskets to arm his guards and increase his strength, but even if he pays a high price, merchants who come to the Khanate to trade are not willing to sell muskets.

"Taiji, I, no, it is our czar. He wants you to help the great czarist Russia repel the invasion of evil ***." Naum Vasilyev said.

"It turned out to be borrowing soldiers." Ayuqi hesitated after hearing Naum Vasilyev's words.

On the other hand, Lama Gelug declared aloud the Buddha's name with the solemn voice of Baoxiang.

Sending troops is not a trivial matter. Moreover, the Kalmyk Khanate has just taken root in a foreign country, surrounded by powerful enemies. Sending troops for the benefit of other countries, even Ayuqi, the heir of the Khanate, has to think carefully.

"This matter must be discussed in the long term." Ayuqi said.

Seeing Ayuqi hesitated, Naum Vasilyev panicked. From a long-term perspective, how long is the chief. What I lack most now is time. If you wait for Stepan Racine to take root in Cherkessk, you will be over.

Naum Vasilyev panicked. He gritted his teeth and said to Ayuqi: "As long as Taiji is willing to send troops to help us immediately, Tsarist Russia is willing to give you three hundred muskets!"

Three hundred muskets!

Upon hearing this number, Ayuqi and Galdanzering's eyes widened in surprise, and when Lama Gelug pulled away a Buddhist bead, his strength was not as strong as before.

"How many people are your enemies?" Ayuqi asked.

"More than a thousand Tatars are all mobs, no big deal." Naum Vasilyev said pretendingly and lightly.

Obviously, these words cannot convince Ayuqi that Tsarist Russia has spent such a high price, and it is only a mob that has to deal with it by itself.

"Chief Naum Vasilyev," Ayuqi said sternly: "We Turghuts value friends most. If you Tsarist Russia really regard me as a friend, then you should tell the truth."

Hearing Ayuqi's tone faintly threatening, and that as long as he didn't tell the truth, he wouldn't help himself. Naum Vasilyev had to tell the truth: "There are more than three thousand rebels composed of serfs."

Ayuqi and Gardan Celing looked at each other, and they looked at Lama Gelug again. Lama Gelug just closed his eyes and announced the Buddha's name again, with a low voice.

A Yuqi pondered for a while, and after weighing the pros and cons, he finally made up his mind.

Ayuqi said to Naum Vasilyev: "I want three hundred muskets now, and if you deceive us on the number of enemies, we can retreat at any time."

Naum Vasilyev struggled fiercely in his heart for Ayuqi’s request. Finally, he said: "I will give you two hundred, and then I will give you one hundred after it's done. I can only guarantee that the enemy is roughly the same. Such strength, but slight discrepancies are inevitable."

"Deal!" Ayuqi and Naum Vasilyev high-five.

Naum Vasilyev left contentedly. Ayuqi promised him that in two days, he would personally lead three thousand Kalmyk cavalry to support Naum Vasilyev.

Thinking of those three thousand horses, Naum Vasilyev felt that he was alive again. He looked at the surrounding scenery so beautiful, even his steps were a bit brisk.

And here at Ayuqi, Lama Gelug, who had not spoken a while ago, said to Ayuqi: "Taiji, are you really going to help this Russian?"

"Yes, Gelug. That's three hundred muskets! With these weapons, I can form a Taiji Guard with muskets, and my position in the Khanate will be more stable." Ayuqi said to Ge. Lama Lu said.

At this time, the Naadam meeting had ended, and the new horse that was a cross between the Ili horse and the Don Hippo indeed won. Ayuqi rewarded the knight with a dagger to the horse, and he got on the horse with the help of his servant.

"Taiji, you are the heir of the Khanate. No matter what decision you make, we will support you. However, whether it is the Russians or those ***, they are all enemies of the Buddha. You must be careful not to be affected by them. Used it." Lama Gelug warned Ayuqi.

Hearing that Ge Lu was afraid of being used, Ayuqi laughed and said: "Don't worry, Ge Lu. How can I be easily used by them."

Seeing that Ayuqi was so confident, Ge Lu stopped talking. At this time, Galdan Celing passed by on horseback.

Gardan Tsering has taken off his robe and put on Kalmyk armor. The Kalmyks live in the Western Regions, where the East Asian civilization and the Central Asian civilization meet ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ So their armor also combines the characteristics of the cotton armor of East Asia and the popular chain armor of Central Asia.

For example, Gardan Celing. It has an open-breasted chain mail on the inside, and cotton armor with foam nails on the outside. He wears a helmet with a small flag on his head, and the flag flutters in the wind.

"Ayuqi, the assembly of a hundred cavalry has been completed." Galdan Celing said to Ayuqi.

"good."

Seeing that Gardan Celing had assembled his troops so quickly, Ayuqi applauded with satisfaction. Then, he instructed Galdan Celing: "Celing, you lead this hundred cavalrymen to Cherkessk. One will receive the three hundred muskets; the two will take a look at the Cossack. Are you lying to us? If you find something unusual, come back immediately, remember to bring those two hundred muskets. I went back and asked Father Khan for instructions and brought a large army to support you."

"Yes, Taiji!" Galdan Celing tapped his chest heavily with his right hand.

Gal Dan Cering took a hundred cavalry and left. Ayuqi turned around and said to Lama Gelug: "Gelu, what do you think of my arrangement like this?"

Lama Gelug folded his hands together: "There is no more comprehensive arrangement than this."

Although Ayuqi was wise, he was young after all. He laughed loudly after Glu's compliment.

After laughing, Ayuqi slammed the horse's buttocks.

"Go, warriors of Turhout. Let's go home!"

The Kalmyk tribe who accompanied Ayuqi on the hunt greeted him with joy. They rode horses and headed towards home with their prey loaded. In the near future, a Mongolian whirlwind will sweep through Cherkessk and Azov. Its strength is beyond the expectation of Chechen, Stepan Racine, and Naum Vasilyev, the initiator.
