The city of Bukhara.
One bad news came after another, King Abdullah Aziz didn't care at first, he thought that 3,000 heavy cavalry were enough to guard the Fergana Basin.
But the soldiers and Uzbek herdsmen kept fleeing back, and finally brought the news of the governor's defeat and death.
The whole country was shocked!
? Abdullah Aziz is not a pure fool, he is somewhat similar to Tang Minghuang. He also worked hard to govern when he was young, and the Astrakhan Dynasty of the Bukhara Khanate reached its peak in his hands.
Then, he began to be self-willed, to rule the country according to his preferences, and to spend extravagantly and indulge in pleasure.
"How many enemies are there? How did my heavy cavalry be defeated?" Aziz personally received the fleeing light cavalry. As for the heavy cavalry, the entire army had already been wiped out, and none of them escaped in heavy armor.
A light cavalry said: "The governor asked us to stop the tribal rebels. I didn't see how the heavy cavalry was defeated."
Several light cavalrymen said this, and finally someone said: "I saw it. The enemy's muskets have a dagger installed in front of them. All the infantry lined up with muskets instead of daggers. The heavy cavalry rushed over and the horses slowed down. was shot at close by by the musketeers."
Aziz was surprised: "Did the musketeers not flee in the face of the heavy cavalry charge?"
"No." The man replied.
Aziz looked at his minister: "Who can crack this method of warfare?"
A minister who knew the soldiers said: "The horse helmets of the heavy cavalry completely exposed the eyes. You can modify the horse helmets to cover half of the horse's eyes, so that the horses can only see the ground one step ahead. In this way, the horses will They won¡¯t slow down, and they can only see the enemy¡¯s weapons when they get close. At that time, the horses couldn¡¯t stop even if they wanted to.¡±
"Yes, order the craftsmen to transform the horse helmet," Aziz said, "Call out troops from all over the country, and send troops next spring to take back Fergana!"
The minister in charge of finance said: "Khan, there is not enough money and food."
Aziz said, "Then tax it."
The Minister of Finance reminded: "Great Khan, taxes in various places have been increased to the limit, and if taxes are increased, there will definitely be rebellions."
But Aziz said: "It's not like raising taxes all the time, just increasing taxes for two years. In order to regain the land, shouldn't the subjects contribute to the Khanate?"
"Yes." The Chancellor of the Exchequer withdrew silently.
Another minister said: "Great Khan, the Khiva Khanate in the west has been eroding our pastures in recent years. On the border of our country, there are also Turkmen tribes who have defected to the Khiva Khanate with pastures. If you want to march next year, you must stay Some troops, to prevent the Khiva Khanate from taking advantage of the gap."
Aziz said angrily: "Those damned Turkmen rats don't want to live in the mighty Bukhara, but go to the weak Khiva country. Are they all fools?"
No one dared to answer.
Of course it was the king who taxed too much, which forced the tribe to surrender to the enemy.
At this time, the Khiva Khanate was ruled by a benevolent king. Not only are the taxes very low, but they are also committed to reconciling ethnic conflicts. The leaders of all ethnic groups are very convinced of King Shiva.
Comparing the two, a fool knows who to rely on.
Aziz ordered the levy of a war tax. After the news spread, the reactions of officials and people from all over the country were more excited than hearing that the Fergana Basin fell.
The governors of various places cooperated very well, and they cooperated too much.
If the king levies a penny of tax, they can collect a dime, and the specific tax collector can collect a penny.
The northwestern part of the Bukhara Khanate is full of dry grasslands and deserts. The tribes here are already struggling to survive, and suddenly they have to pay a large amount of war taxes, which directly drives them back.
Especially the tribes close to the Khiva Khanate, they took their territories and went to the past.
Anusha, the Wenqing king of the Khiva Khanate, was overjoyed to hear the news, and quickly sent people to reward the defectors, and ordered to gather troops to prepare for battle.
Immediately afterwards, Anusha received news that China had occupied the Fergana Basin.
"Order all the armies not to cross the border, and don't take the initiative to fight," Anusha said happily. "Let Braha fight with China, no matter whether we win or lose, it will be good for us. Also, send someone to contact the nearby Our tribes of the Khanate of Bukhara, tell them that I will not impose heavy taxes. Any race will be treated well as long as they come here."
After making a decision, Anusha took out the Persian version of the "Tao Te Ching" and studied it seriously in the palace.
The Chinese version of the "Tao Te Ching" was obtained from the envoy Xie Yuan. Anusha spent a lot of money to invite a Bo who had been to Nanjing??
This war was fought from summer to early winter.
The defenders of Khiva City are almost running out of food, and if they continue to defend, they can only eat people. Bukhara, as the attacker, was equally miserable, and the most deadly thing was the resurgence of domestic rebellion.
The domestic rebellion made it impossible for Aziz to continue fighting, but he was unwilling to withdraw directly, so he sent an envoy to the city to say: "We can evacuate Khiva, but the Khiva Khanate must compensate for the losses and send all the food we consumed. And make sure that the Khiva Khanate will no longer take in defecting tribes."
Anusha's answer was straightforward: "Kill this man!"
Killing the envoy is tantamount to tearing up the face, and there is no possibility of peace.
After suffering for more than half a month, the rebel forces in the country became more and more powerful. Aziz finally ignored face and ordered the entire army to withdraw to the country to quell the chaos.
However, Anusha was not reluctant. After the Bukhara army left, he raised food as quickly as possible, and led the troops of various ethnic groups who came to King Qin to chase the tail of the Bukhara army.
The two sides fought a decisive battle on the border between the two countries. The Khiva Khanate was originally at a disadvantage, but a noble in Bukhara suddenly defected.
It was the brother of the nobleman who couldn't stand the king and decided to separate himself from the kingdom and secretly sent a letter to contact him to do things in the army.
As a result, Aziz was defeated and fled with only a few thousand elites.
The Khiva Khanate took advantage of the trend to occupy the western border grassland of Bukhara and swallowed up all the territory in the northwest of Bukhara (there is actually no value there, either it is a dry grassland or a large desert).
However, King Aziz of Bukhara, after fleeing back to the capital, was unable to suppress the rebellion, so he could only send officials to Zhao'an.
Zhao'an was very successful, and the rebels surrendered immediately. What they wanted was to separate themselves.
?The governors and Hezhuo all over the country have separated their regimes one after another and no longer obey the king's orders. Aziz can only control the capital and surrounding areas.
? Just for one's own use, everyone betrays relatives!
Especially the Governor of Samarkand, who flirts with the Datong Army, is very happy to run the Silk Road together. - Didn't finish reading?
