How to get the last message ID of pyTelegramBotAPI?

Question

Python

I need to know and remember the id of the message sent by the bot

I heard that the messages.sendMessage method could help me, but after looking at the documentation, I didn’t quite understand how it works

please explain how the messages.sendMessage method works or suggest your own version

Thank you

1) What messages.sendMessage is, there is no such thing and never was, there is only bot.send_message, and bot = TeleBot(config["apiKey"], threaded = False).
2) bot.send_message returns any rubbish, including the id of the message just sent.

@bot.message_handler(commands=['start'])
def start(message):
  print(bot.send_message(message.chat.id, "tess").message_id)
