Chapter 332 The haze in the Far East rises again!

In the early morning of July 19, 1899, when the first touch of gold rose again, Cullen, who had been fighting for five hours, finally calmed down, and the air was filled with pungent smoke and the smell of corpse.

The largest tribal city in the Mongolian grassland was finally completely controlled by the First Cavalry Division. When the herdsmen lined up and walked out of the tent at the shouts of the soldiers, they suddenly found that the Khan King and their men who were usually spreading and advocating around them had been tied up and surrounded. They were squeezed into a group, and there were even dozens of blonde Russian soldiers in the middle.

The already printed Mongolian leaflets were stuffed into everyone's hands. Hundreds of soldiers who knew Mongolian began to explain the contents of the leaflets to the herdsmen. At the same time, six wildcat armored vehicles slowly drove to the center of the execution ground, and these big iron boxes with four wheels with smoke on their buttocks suddenly attracted an exclamation.

Half an hour later, Zhebuzundamba, who looked pale and seemed to have encountered the most terrible things, led more than a dozen lamas to the scene and began to overdo these criminals, and the sharp-eyed herdsmen found that several people, including Tu Xietu Khan, the largest Khan of the Mongolian grassland, were also surrounded by the cavalry of the Xinhua Army. The execution ground.

"Kings of Khan, let's watch a good show." Sun Jiugong rode on the horse's back, and the whip in his hand was slightly raised.

When the singing Buddha's voice dissipated from the execution ground, the soldiers of the first division immediately took hundreds of war horses to the prisoners and began to untie them.

What are you going to do?

When everyone began to be surprised, what the Han army was doing, several Xinhua soldiers in the middle of the field suddenly shouted at the prisoners, and then the prisoners seemed to be a little disbelief. They looked at each other and took a long time to step on the horse one after another.

"You can leave now, as long as you can reach the hillside in front of them." Sun Jiugong ran to the criminals and pointed to six wild cats ready to go. The whip suddenly pointed to a hillside a few kilometers away, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes: "I swear, I can pardon your crimes and let you leave!"

"The hillside!"

The prisoners looked at the hillside a few kilometers away and looked at the six wild cats equipped with machine guns. They didn't seem to believe how these four-wheeled big iron guys could catch up with the horse, but they were afraid that Sun Jiugong was telling a lie and still dared not move.

However, when Sun Jiugong patted the horse back, and there was no New Chinese soldier in front of him, there was finally someone who couldn't help but survive. He patted the horse and ran forward with a strange cry. Then all the criminals galloped their horses and ran towards the hillside.

"They are indeed the best cavalry." Seeing that these criminals only slightly pulled a few horses and adjusted the horses to the fastest speed, Sun Jiugong couldn't help praising him from the bottom of his heart and suddenly waved the whip.

Suddenly!

In everyone's gaze, a string of thick black smoke spewed out from the buttocks of the six wild cats. The buzzing engine roared deafeningly, and the armored car chased after it like lightning, which was much faster than the war horse.

At the same time, the Maxim machine gun mounted on the top of six wild cats fired crazily. Under the desperate shaking of the machine gunners, the dense bullets roared like the most terrible hurricane under the swallowing flames.

Nearly a thousand prisoners who fled did not expect that this four-wheeled iron box could run so fast. When there were waves of motor behind them and subconsciously turned their heads to check, the bullets had already penetrated their bodies, smashing the horse's head and tore the horse's body.

The roar of the engine and the roar of the machine gun are in sharp contrast to the silence of more than 100,000 Mongolian herdsmen around the execution ground. Under the propaganda of those leaflets and Mongolian guides, they have understood the purpose of these Han troops coming here, because someone in Cullen wants to rebel against the central political axe and defect to Russia!

The herdsmen don't know any big truth. All they know is that the Khan kings and accomplices who bullied them are melting like spring snow in front of such an iron box they have never seen before. Under the continuous roar of machine guns, a chill poured into the brain along everyone's spine!

As for the Han kings and lamas who were invited to watch, their whole bodies were shivering and their eyes were bulging. They never thought that this seemingly weak general of the Xinhua Army had such a powerful weapon in his hand.

When the last criminal who bent down and clung to the horse was torn up at close range by a machine gun and a horse, they didn't even run halfway. This scene made all the lucky people shut up, because they knew that even if tens of thousands of troops came back, I'm afraid it was just a larger-scale massacre!

"Gentlemen, the era of cavalry is about to pass."

"Anyone who rebels against the emperor and Greater China must die!"

Sun Jiugong glanced at the remaining Han kings and lamas coldly. From their expressions, it can be seen that this deterrent action has met expectations, or even better!

"Now, do you need me to tell you how to do it?"

On the opposite side is a rickety head.

Two days later, when 5,000 infantry and a huge convoy from Zhangjiakou arrived at the same time, everyone knew that Cullen finally firmly returned to Xinhua's arms.

After the reinforcements arrived one after another, under the strict order of Sun Jiugong, Tu Xie Tuhan and other Khans handed over the last 30,000 soldiers left in Mongolia to him. When the news was transmitted back to Yanjing by radio, this time, the General Counselor and the Prime Minister's Office almost agreed to complete the 30,000 cavalry at the same time, and immediately mobilized more than 2,000 soldiers from each division. Veterans join in.

Sun Jiugong also immediately broke up the 30,000 people and organized them into the 2nd to 4th Cavalry Divisions of the Royal Army of the Xinhua Empire. However, he did not choose to train these Mongolian cavalry in Cullen. Instead, half a month later, after the second regiment arrived in Cullen, he immediately handed over the defense of Cullen to the infantry. He took four cavalry divisions and ten night owls to the west overnight to join the main force of the Northwest Army.

The bold action of this thousand-mile raid is equivalent to finishing the whole north in one fell swoop, making Sun Jiugong famous for the new Chinese army. At the same time, it also brought a series of headaches and troubles to the General Staff and the Prime Minister's Office.

The headache is the consolidation, training and distribution of weapons and materials after the addition of three new cavalry. You should know that the road from Shanxi to Yinchuan is difficult to walk. If you want to send all the weapons and ammunition of 30,000 people, you can't do it in a few months.

However, this also gives the Northwest Theater a chance to rest. You can use this time to grind away the bad deeds of the Mongolian cavalry and turn them into real soldiers.

As for the Prime Minister's Office, in terms of economy and construction, there is already a plan to extend the railway to Kulun and even Tangnu Wulianghai. It only needs to pave the rails all the way down. In addition, the young people of the Ministry of Construction are more ambitious than the sky. A larger railway plan around Mongolia and even Siberia.

It's okay to go around Mongolia, around Siberia?!

"I haven't got it yet!" After learning about the railway plan, Master Li shyly found Li Enfu, forced him to agree to sign, and also took the initiative to increase the capital injection of the Northern Railway Company, which was about to complete the construction in the north, ready to continue to advance to the north.

But in terms of administration and how to deal with the aftermath, it made the members of the Prime Minister's Office, including Li Enfu, rack their brains. You know, Mongolia is really too big, and the tribes are scattered. Even if the largest Tushetu Khan tribe has surrendered because the Khan king controls it in its own hands, there are more than a dozen small tribes attached to him. How to manage them has become a top priority scattered on tens of thousands of square kilometers of grasslands and the Gobi.

In addition to management, it is a big problem to lead large departments of Mongolian herdsmen to their own side and become Xinhua's supporters. You should know that the literacy rate of Mongolian herdsmen is lower than that of the Han people. Most of them are still low-level serfs, and they are economically more likely to be affected by natural disasters, so this is about to worry Li Enfu to death. .

In the end, he had no choice but to ask Master Li, who drew circles on the drawings with the young people of the Ministry of Construction. Finally, after combining the experience of later generations, Li Mo quickly put forward three guidance.

First, Mongolia is divided into three provinces: Eastern Mongolia, Central Mongolia and Simon. While administratively dividing the Mongolian ministries, it is also more convenient and manage. Second, immediately convene the conference of Mongolian tribes, take advantage of the opportunity of the conference to sign documents in legal form, and through this means, it is determined that Mongolia is a member of the Greater China family, and Mongolia is the eternal indivisible territory of the Xinhua Empire, and the old people of the province use crooked brains.

If the first two are still mild, then the third one is that even Li Enfu applauds the case. He immediately liberates all herdsmen and serfs by administrative and military means. As for the Khan kings of those tribes, considering the actual situation, they will change the Khans to officials, and they and the sent officials will manage the herdsmen together for the time being. People, because officials cannot be hereditary and have a term of office, it is equivalent to slowly emptying their rights.

In this way, when all the herdsmen know that they have been removed from slavery, they no longer need to pay cattle and sheep to the old men, and all the livestock income belongs to themselves, these people's recognition of Xinhua will certainly rise significantly.

As for the issue of the congregation, there is no good way for Li Mo. After all, Tibetan Buddhism has been inherited in Mongolia for thousands of years and has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of every herdsmen. Therefore, according to the old method, administrative means are used to limit the scale of preaching, and it is not allowed to build temples. At the same time, it is forbidden to increase secular education to make everyone understand that faith is good. Yes, but it must not violate the laws of the country. When the doctrine and the nation conflict, the country must put the country first!

As a reincarnated person, Li Mo has seen many cases of religious conflicts and knows a lot about secession of regimes under the guise of religion, so his principle of ethnic minorities is that he must adhere to secular education, adhere to national equality, and must not engage in any special cases including autonomy. For example, you can respect Mongolian compatriots. The habit of wearing a knife, but if they draw a knife to each other, whether they treat any ethnic group, they must be dealt with strictly in accordance with the law, and they can't calm people with religious or ethnic habits!

At the same time, while learning their own culture, the ethnic colleges of all ethnic groups must be forced to learn Sinology. Only when the Chinese nation is truly integrated, and you have me and I have him, can truly promote the development of the country.

Of course, for some stubborn separatists and extreme nationalists, Master Li did not care about raising a butcher's knife. This was still 1899, not a hundred years later, but to talk about human rights, so he immediately ordered that while convening the general meeting of various ministries in Mongolia, he would convene the leaders of the Mongolian Lama factions to judge Che Buzun together. After Damba colluded with the Russians and attempted to split the country. After taking the opportunity to let everyone know the country's policy on nationality and religion, he also prepared to exile 3,000 separatists, including Chebzdamba,!

Of course, it is impossible to be exiled to Russia, which is equivalent to giving the Russians an excuse to support. Master Li chose the Shikoku Island under his supervision. Since they like missionary division so much, let's go and ruin yourself. As for whether he would accept the infiltration of Tibetan Buddhism, this will not be under the control of the young master.

At the time when the conference of various ministries in Mongolia was in full swing, the Xinhua Army was stationed in Cullen, and the news of recovering the north was like a blockbuster, which caused an uproar, especially in Tsar Russia, which was even more anxious, because as long as people with some geographical knowledge knew that Cullen's position was too important. It It is a cold and shining short blade on the tsar's belly, from which it can cover almost the whole of Central Siberia!

When the news came back to Europe, the Tsar was furious. First of all, he said that he did not recognize Xinhua's sovereignty over Mongolia. At the same time, he ordered the immediate mobilized of troops to defend Central and Western Lia. He also said that he would have the right to enter the area including the Tangnu Uliang Sea when necessary to ensure that Russia's interests were not infringed.

You son of a mother!

This declaration exploded the anger in Master Li's heart. The account of Eastern Siberia has not been settled yet, and it actually hit the attention of Tangnu Wulianghai like history. It's really unbearable.

In addition to Russia and foreign countries, Britain also felt the threat. The pacation of the north means that the Xinhua army can wholeheartedly fall to the northwest. Nearly 100,000 troops have suppressed the border. There are only a few days for the northwest to return to Xinhua. When the northwest is calmed down, Li Mo can wave his army into the river at any time, go south along the Yangtze River, and even It is possible to enter Tibet, threatening the security of India.

Diplomatic efforts began from the first moment of Mongolia's recovery. The British political axe arrogantly demanded that the New Chinese army should not enter Tibet, and at the same time, it must ensure Britain's interests in the north and northwest.

However, this time they miscalculated, because when they made this request, Tang Shaoyi threw the documents directly into the trash can, and said that the Xinhua Army was willing to comply with the previous agreement and agree not to enter the south of the Yangtze River for the time being was equivalent to protecting the interests of various countries, and Tibet Province has been a part of China since ancient times, and the Xinhua Army has the right to Enter any place in the country to launch a military operation to clean up the rebels!

In the face of the strong Li Mo, the British finally did not want to retreat this time. After quickly contacting Russia, they sent a thousand British troops from India to detour through Kashmir and join 2,000 people in Russia. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Northwest Army's adjustment, they suddenly sent troops to occupy Ili!

When the news came out, the world was in an uproar. Everyone's eyes widened, carefully analyzed every word and sentence, and speculated whether this was a signal that the empire was going to go to war with Xinhua.

At the same time, France also announced that it would send an additional 5,000 troops to the Far East to strengthen the protection of the interests of the Far East, and even said that it would send more warships to Jinlan Bay.

The haze rises again in the Far East!
