The Mongols as a whole began with Genghis Khan. It took only 20 years for timuzhen to unify the grassland after he was elected Khan. After that, the Mongols began to expand and conquer the known world. In the next 50 years, the Mongols successively conquered China, Persia, Russia and so on. In addition to India, the Mongolian Empire became an empire covering Asia and Europe.


    However, the collapse of the Mongolian Empire was almost as rapid as its rise. By 1360, the Mongols had lost China and Persia. All they could keep in Asia were the birthplace of the Mongolian Plateau, the river and mengwuerstan.


    As a branch of Mongols, Kalmyk people originally lived in Xinjiang, China. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, due to the bullying of the Junggar department, which is also called weilat Mongolia, the Kalmyk Department moved to the Volga River Basin. After more than half a century of operation by the leader and three generations of erlek, shukurdaiqing and pengchuk, the two banks of the lower reaches of the Volga River, which used to be a desert, were turned into rich pastures. They grazed livestock here, hunted water and grass, and established their own new home.


    Because the Kalmyk people believe in Tibetan Buddhism - Lamaism, they are incompatible with the orthodox religion of Czar Russia and the * * * religion of other Tatar nomadic tribes. Therefore, because of their faith and grassland, the Kalmyks fought with czar Russia and Tatars.


    When naum Vasiliev came to the door, the Kalmyk people led by ayyuqi were holding the Nadam Conference on the grassland after successful hunting.


    At this time, ayuqi, who will become the most outstanding Khan in the history of Kalmyk khanate, is only about the same age as Chechen. He is the son of penchuk and the Khan of the future Kalmyk Khanate. Ah Yuqi has a beautiful face. His eyes are not as big and round as those of his compatriots; He has a tall nose, red lips and white teeth; When he was angry, the majesty of Khan in the future gushed out of his eyes; And when he is kind, he is like your closest friend.


    At this time, the most exciting race in Nadam - horse racing also kicked off. Ah Yuqi, his prince zasack and the riders under Taiji are all eager to have a try. Because winning the championship of horse racing involves not only personal honor, but also rich rewards given by leaders and their own masters. These rewards are often unthinkable to ordinary herdsmen for a lifetime.


    There are horse racing, of course, there are horse gambling. When the riders were eager to try, the audience were also busy making the last note. A piece of sheepskin, a felt blanket and a bag of wheat. The gambling table is filled with the hard harvest of herdsmen for a year.


    On the other side, the princes of Taiji and zasack are also busy betting on their favorite horses.


    "Gru, although your Ili horse is famous all over the world, my horse is a good cross between Ili horse and dun Hippo I brought from Xinjiang. It combines the advantages of the two horse breeds, but it is better." on a gorgeous Persian carpet, Gazing at an energetic jujube horse on the field, kardan Zeling on ah Yuqi''s left said proudly to a Lama in red on ah Yuqi''s right.


    "In that case, let''s compete today!" the red Lama named Gelu obviously had a good relationship with kardan Zeling. He responded with a hearty laugh.


    One of them is a Yuqi''s general and the other is a Yuqi''s counselor. Both of them were carefully selected by a Yuqi''s father from the young children of the karmec aristocracy to assist a Yuqi.


    "Yo, it seems that you are determined to get it today. Then we have to be careful." ah Yuqi, who is sitting on the hand, also joked to Gelu Lama.


    Just then, two Kalmyk cavalry came to ayyuchi with naum Vasiliev, who had been disarmed.


    Although there were frequent clashes with czar Russia, ordinary herdsmen were still strange to blonde Russians. Seeing such a non humanoid guy, the herdsmen around looked at him one after another.


    "Taiji, this Huang maozi wants to see you." a kalmec cavalry saluted ah Yuqi and said.


    Naum Vasiliev had been in cherkesk for a long time. He also had several contacts with Kalmyk people and could speak some Kalmyk language. He couldn''t help getting angry when he heard that Kalmyk cavalry called himself yellow hair. He even wanted to raise his fist to punch the Kalmyk people, but when he raised his hand, he remembered that he was not in cherkesk now, But around the Kalmyks and alone.


    Naum Vasiliev hurried to withdraw his hand, but it was too late. Seeing this, the karmec cavalry behind him rushed forward to subdue naum Vasiliev, then twisted naum Vasiliev''s hand and pushed and shooed him to Ayuki.


    Naum Vasiliev stumbled two steps, and one accidentally almost fell to the ground. Deterred by the prestige and large number of Kalmyk cavalry, naum Vasiliev dared not be arrogant any more. He nodded and bowed to ayuqi in front of him and said, "dear ayuqi Khan, hello."


    "Wrong!"


    Ayuki loudly interrupted naum Vasiliev''s greetings, and then said, "Khan is my father. I am a Taiji. Ayuki Taiji. Who are you? Why are you coming to see me?"


    "When I return to Taiji, I am naom Vasiliev, the Minister of the Czar, the master of cherkesk and the leader of the Don Cossacks." naum Vasiliev replied solemnly.


    "It''s a Cossack! So!" gashtan Zeling laughed.


    Just as the Cossacks despise the grassland people, the Kalmyks despise the Cossacks. They think these people are just gangs of hooligans and beggars who have committed crimes in their own country. So when kardanzeling heard that naum Vasiliev claimed to be the leader of the Cossacks and was so serious and proud, he laughed.


    Ah Yuqi couldn''t help laughing.


    But after laughing, he immediately restrained his smile, repeated the question just now, and asked naum Vasiliev''s purpose.


    "Dear Taiji, I came to give gifts at the order of his Majesty the czar." naum Vasiliev had to resist his anger when asked. However, he vowed that the humiliation suffered here today must be returned ten times or a hundred times in the future.


    "Oh, what gift did your czar want you to give?" ah Yuqi asked proudly. His gesture made people feel that he was equal to the czar.


    Seeing that the other party asked about the gifts he had brought, naum Vasiliev immediately came to his senses. He first took out a quill pen and then took out a bottle of ink and presented it to ah Yuqi.


    Naum Vasiliev left cherkesk in order to go out of the city to fight the rebel army of Stepan rasin. He didn''t have any valuables with him or in the team. He also bullied Kalmyk people, so he only took some cheap goods as gifts.


    The Kalmyk cavalry brought the gift to ah Yuqi. Ah Yuqi unscrewed the lid of the ink bottle, smelled it, and then wrinkled his nose. Then he asked naum Vasiliev, "what is this wine? It smells so bad?"


    Naum Vasiliev said with a smile while secretly scolding these Kalmyk buns: "Lord Taiji, this is ink for writing."


    Then naum Vasiliev made two gestures with his hand.


    As soon as he heard that it was not wine, ah Yuqi lost interest. He handed Gru the ink bottle and then turned to watch the game.


    Naum Vasiliev was suddenly left out.


    However, naum Vasiliev thought that ah Yuqi had never seen the world and tried to win ah Yuqi''s favor and borrow troops with a bottle of ink. Such treatment is inevitable.


    When the two Kalmyk cavalry saw that Taiji had nothing to say, they were ready to take abnaum Vasiliev away.


    Naum Vasiliev bit his teeth. Seeing that ah Yuqi was indifferent and that he had to be driven away, he had to prepare to take out his most precious thing - a music box given to him by the czar.
