101 Yili righteous

Tianshan was shrouded in thick clouds, and the wind roared with snow powder. The Qing officers and soldiers guarding the General Ili Office had no pockets, so they had to rub their hands and hold the gun.

"General Zhirui," Colonel Mazarowski, who is like a bucket, is wearing a straight military uniform, and the spurs are rattling on the wooden floor. A pinch of Cossacks on his white face are upturned, and his gray eyes are full of faint light. "I remind you again. Opportunity, um, opportunity is fair and cruel to anyone. The Anxi army has arrived at Yumen Pass, and the revolutionaries have infiltrated your army. Now only the great Russia can help the Qing court keep the last habitat. If the Qing Dynasty is in the northwest under the protection of Russia, there will eventually be a day when you will wave your troops to the south, which will dissipate your shame today. This is the only opportunity - the only one, do you understand?" His Chinese and Mongolian are so beautiful that he doesn't need to translate at all.

After the Russo-Japanese War, the Russian aggression in the northeast encountered resistance, so it intensified its aggressive expansion to Xinjiang. Russia built a railway from Tashkent to the border of Xinjiang, set up consulates all over Xinjiang, and established a huge commercial network. At the beginning of 1911, under the pretext of amending the China-Russia Land and Commerce Regulations, he threatened to send troops to Ili, and continuously ultimatumed the Qing government to reply to the terms of expanding Russia's rights and interests within a limited time. On March 27, the Qing government was forced to comply with all the demands of Russia, but it was not officially signed due to the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution. Seeing that the Anxi army was about to enter Xinjiang, Russia saw that the time was ripe, so it took advantage of the fire to rob and persuade Zhirui to join Russia and sign the agreement in the name of "keeping the Qing Dynasty".

Zhirui looks only in his thirties, and under the leather hat is a unique donkey face of the Aixinjueluo family. He listened quietly and said thoughtfully for a long time, "Thank you, Colonel, for reminding me again. You are so smart and wise, I believe that His Majesty the Tsar will be awarded a more glorious medal to you. But what I can't understand is that your army marched and nearly a thousand cavalry marched into Kashgar in southern Xinjiang. Why was it retreated by the resistance of the revolutionaries? Why did you accept the threat of Sun Cannon of the Nanjing Provisional Government and cut back the 700 fast guns that were promised to be supplied to me? To tell you the truth, I believe that your court does not believe you. I don't intend to go south to compete with the revolutionaries in the Central Plains. I just want to restore my hometown. Although the Dihua Rebellion was pacified, our strength was also greatly lost. The Anxi army pressed step by step, and the revolutionaries had penetrated into the whole territory. However, the northwest of An was a luxury, and marching into the Central Plains could only be an illusion.

Mazanovsky calmly waited for him to finish speaking, stared and thought for a moment. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "General, don't lie in front of the real person. Since you don't want to conquer the Central Plains, why did you secretly set a big plan with Chang Geng, Sheng Yun and Yuan Dahua to 'be in the northwest and slow down the Central Plains'? I'm afraid it's true to restore your hometown. Is it originally the garden where you love Xinjueluo's family? As for the musket, we have to be perfunctory in diplomacy, and you know, that's also the involvement of the German private gun sales case. It's all in the old calendar at the end of last year..." With that, he picked up the milk tea and drank it. He cleared his throat and said, "You just need to sign here, fast guns, artillery, food... All of them. . "

Zhi Rui smiled and said, "Colonel, there is an old saying in the Han people that 'if you want to hurry, you can't reach it'. I think it's the same thing as 'exceed' - why be impatient? Stay with me and discuss it slowly.

"Discuss it slowly?" Mazanovsky spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders and said, "The general is really calm. The words are also reasonable. But I want to say that your current enemy, the young general Wuchang, is really a great man. He easily achieved a great career that Dr. Sun could not lead countless Chinese elites. Yuan Shikai's Beiyang army was also defeated by him. Before the war in Ezhou was over, he began to march to the northwest, and Lanzhou took only one day to attack. At present, although Yuan Shikai has successfully ascended the presidency, I am sure that he still dares to send troops to fight you! If it goes on like this, the Anxi army will attack Xinjiang, and your defeat will be faster for Agubo!"

He spoke quickly and heavily, with a harsh hiss in his voice, and several people in the hall couldn't help shivering.

At this time, the drums on the bell and drum tower of Yili Huiyuan City just sounded as usual. Mazanovsky looked at his pocket watch and it was eight o'clock in the evening.

At this moment, I heard the sound of gunfire outside, shouting and killing everywhere!

"Will it be a revolutionary uprising?"

As soon as Mazzanovsky's words fell, everyone in the room only felt stunned, as if the roof was pressing on them. In an instant, the earth roared and shook the earth.

Zhirui shouted in horror, "It's really an uprising!"

Mazanovski scolded against the skylight outside the window, "God, I haven't seen this kind of formation. The revolutionaries are simply crazy!"

The huge roar swallowed up all the sound.

Zhi Rui pointed to Mazzanovsky and moved his lips. Mazanovsky walked up to him and leaned down. He waved his hand and came to his ear and said, "I can't hear anything. Let's wait until the gunfire loses momentum."

The gunfire lasted for more than 20 minutes, followed by fierce machine gunfire.

Zhirui is finally going to make a phone call to the Dongcheng garrison. The revolutionaries first ambush some people in the city. They are leading a team to attack the East Gate and receive the insurgents outside the city. The city defense of the East Gate is still there, but the situation is very tight.

Mazanovsky looked at Zhirui in a very gentle tone: "General, the revolution has broken out. I'm sorry for being help. Say goodbye."

"No delivery!" Zhirui gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, follow me to inspect the city defense." Zhirui shook his hand and left the headquarters first.

He walked to the intersection and heard the sound of gunfire not far away. He was shocked and hurriedly contacted Dongcheng, saying that the Dongcheng Gate had been opened, and some of the rebels came in. There were not many people, dozens of them.

Zhi Rui ordered: "Organize the power and block it desperately. None of the bandits entering the city can let them run away."

"General, don't you want to go to the front?"

"Go forward. As soon as the east gate is broken, it's all over.

Zhirui just took a few steps forward and saw a person stumble into it. When the man saw Zhirui, he cried like a sieve: "Report to the general, I deserve to die! Damn it! I lost the east gate, the east gate! Their people don't know where they come from..."

Like five lightning strikes, it suddenly blinded General Zhirui of Yili.

Zhi Rui breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered Yi Qian: "Hury up! Send someone to take it back, you must take it back. Come on, hurry up!"

"It's over, General. Jiang Guosheng, Ma Lingxiao, Xu Jianguo, Qian Guanghan, Pan Ziyu, Cai Leshan... They are all the opposite!"

"The East Gate is over." Zhirui seemed to have exhausted all his strength before he escaped back to the general's office and collapsed on the chair.

Zhirui contacted Nancheng by phone, and began to say that he couldn't stand it. When he contacted again, the phone was interrupted.

Except for the General's Office and the whole city, everything outside Huiyuan City is unknown. Zhirui asked the guard to light the lamp, drew up an emergency with his trembling fingers, and distributed it to Yuan Dahua and Zailan: "Huiyuan has fallen. I have tried my best, and now I am still concentrating on the last strength to defend the core fortifications, waiting for help!"

After finishing this, Zhirui said, "I'll go to the watchtower to command!"

There are very strong two-story watchtowers in the four corners of the General's Office, and a stronger three-story main watchtower in the center of the compound. His room is connected to a tunnel with the central watchtower. Zhirui believes that this secret tunnel is the safest, so he has to enter the tunnel.

Zhirui hid in the bunker until dawn. The guard, who was not eye-catching all night, reported to Zhi Rui with a broken look, "General, I just went to the top floor of the watchtower. The wall and several strongholds in the city were hung with white sheets. We are completely finished, and there is only this palm-sized piece left..."

Zhirui didn't answer the words. He walked to the main hall of the General's Office and shouted to the troops guarding the General's Office: "Brothers! Our reinforcements will arrive soon. Anyone who picks up a gun to defend the General's Office will have a reward of 100,000 yuan.

Zhirui ordered people to carry the top ten boxes and open them in public. It is full of gold certificates issued by the Bank of Russia and the Bank of England. At first, I returned the points, and then I sent them to let everyone take them casually.

Zhirui looked at the looting soldiers, frowned in disgust, didn't say a word, and ran to the pit.

Like a wave of metal, countless bullets flew out of the muzzle of Hesse at the same time. And the hot muzzle flames bloomed like fireworks under the sky. The green smoke at the muzzle of the gun was lit.

Almost all Maxim heavy machine guns began to splash bullets at the same time. The bullets that covered the head and cover the face buzzed like a wasp that blew up a nest.

The gunfire of the attack was not too fierce at the beginning, and it was overwhelming in a moment. The gunfire was intermittent, and bandits shouted in all directions.

The soldiers who were resisting were completely shocked by this momentum. The whole general's office was shaking, and the army completely collapsed. An officer took off his hat and shouted, "We are going to surrender!" We can't kill them. Damn it, we're fighting hard here. What's the reason?

In response, hundreds of people shouted, "We are going to surrender!" We won't fight anymore!"

As soon as the voice fell, someone in the yard shouted, "The revolutionary army has entered the yard!"

Zhirui and others saw that the situation was not good and ran away. As soon as they got into the hall of the General's Office, many people were captured alive by the influx of revolutionary forces.

A group of enemy soldiers who laid down their weapons raised their hands and walked out of the watchtower and pit, but they had no ambition.

Yang Zhenxu, the commander-in-chief of the general's office, was anxious: "We must catch Zhirui. If we can't catch him, it's not a complete victory. Look for it! If you dig three feet, you have to find him!"

I searched the hidden places and tunnels of the General's Office several times, but I still didn't find Zhirui. Finally, by turning over the body, Zhi Rui was found in the pile of dead people in the pit. By the light of dusk, the commanders looked at it carefully and saw that the Western-style general of the Qing Dynasty was full of blood and sludge, and his head, face, hands and feet were also covered with mud and blood from the dead. The traces of the application are very obvious, and it's really a fool.

Zhirui lay there motionless and pushed.

"Stand up!" Yang Yuxu drank Ling Zhirui: "Don't pretend anymore."

Zhirui just refused to get up.

There was a brother who didn't have much patience and shouted, "Don't pretend to be dead. If you don't get up, I'll beat you!"

As soon as Zhi Rui heard that he was going to beat him, the good man did not take the loss in front of him. He got up and muttered, "I surrender!" I surrender!"

Looking at his blood stains, no one is a ghost, Yang Zhenxu asked the soldier to bring a basin of water and let him wash it. As soon as Zhirui saw the water, he picked up the basin and drank it.
