Chapter 210: Surprise Attack on Cullen (4)
When the People's Army launched an attack, Jebtsundamba VIII had already risen, although he was a combination of religion and political power, but in essence he was still more religious, so every day he would get up very early, chant sutras and praise the Buddha, and revere the heavens and the earth. Therefore, after hearing the sound of gunfire, although Jebtsundamba VIII was also terrified, after all, he had already started to take charge, and he was not too panicked, and while gathering troops to resist, he was also preparing to retreat from Kulen.
After the People's Army broke through the courtyard walls of the summer palace, Jebtsundamba VIII knew that the summer palace could not be defended, so he ordered to withdraw from the summer palace first and see what was going on outside. At this time, more than 100 guards had gathered around him, as well as two guards to be guarded, Mu Rongga and Danbi Gyaltsen, and more than 10 monks to follow, as well as his wife Dundu Karamu and son Yalgu San were also ready to flee, so everyone left the summer palace under the protection of the guards.
Of course, at this time, Jebtsundamba VIII did not plan to leave Kulen, but was ready to withdraw to the Winter Palace first, and then ask for help from the Kulen minister Yamen and the Russian consulate in Kulen, and at the same time recruit some more people, hoping to defeat the attack of the People's Army and keep Kulen, after all, Kulen is his foundation, so as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he still has to try his best to hold Kulen.
But as soon as Jebtsundamba VIII and his entourage came out of the north gate of the summer palace, they received a report that the winter palace had been breached by the People's Army, and the Yamen of the Minister of Kulun was also roaring with cannons and gunshots, and it seemed that it was also more auspicious, and although there was no news from the Russian Consulate in Kulun, I was afraid that it would not be any better, and there were more than 100 soldiers in the Bijing Consulate, so I was afraid that it would not change the overall situation, so Jebzundamba VIII thought about it for a while, and finally decided to withdraw from Kulen first. If you can't defeat the People's Army, then go elsewhere and then gather troops to fight to the death with the People's Army, which is better than being trapped in Kulen and captured by the People's Army.
Since it is from the north gate of the summer palace, it is natural to retreat to the north, the summer palace is the center of Cullen, although the north-south avenue is not as wide as the east-west direction, but it is not narrow, the width is more than 10 meters, and it is very flat, but the group of people walked for a long time, only to see two strange-shaped vehicles on the avenue, as well as dozens of soldiers with real guns and ammunition, blocking the way. You don't have to ask to know that it was the KPA that cut off the road north of Kulen.
Jebtsundamba VIII couldn't help but be shocked, he couldn't imagine that the road out of Kulun had been blocked by the People's Army, and now it was probably too late to retreat, and said, "What can I do about this?"
At this time, Dan Bijian praised: "The Buddha doesn't need to be frightened, wait for the slave to lead people to rush up and kill a bloody road, and ensure that the Buddha kills Kulun." ”
Mu Rongga frowned and said: "The pseudo-rebel army is here to set up troops to block, it must be sure, and it cannot be a hard enemy, and now the situation is critical, we should protect the living Buddha, and this is not the only way to leave Kulun, or find another way to break through." ”
Danbi Gyaltsen hurriedly said: "What time is it now, and we are still so hesitant, won't the hypocritical army set up troops to block it on other roads?" You see that their number is not much, but only 2 or 30 people, those two strange cars are only afraid that they are in vain, just to scare people, as long as we rush hard, we will definitely be able to break through the resistance of the pseudo-rebel army, how can we still hesitate like this, and wait for the reinforcements of the pseudo-rebel army to come, but it will not come. Then he said to Jebtsundamba VIII: "Living Buddha, you have to stand up immediately!"
Jebtsundamba VIII hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and said, "Okay, Danbi Gyaltsen, the army here will be under your command, if you can protect me from Kulun, I will be rewarded." ”
Danbi Gyaltsen immediately said, "Yes." As he spoke, he led 6 or 70 soldiers and rushed forward.
Before they rushed out of 2 or 300 meters, they only heard the "click", and a fierce tongue of fire erupted from the two strange cars, and the Mongolian soldiers who were rushing forward fell to the ground like mowing grass, and fell most of them in a blink of an eye, even Danbi Gyaltsen was shot and fell to the ground, only the last dozen soldiers saw that the situation was not good, and stopped the charge at the very moment and retreated, which can be regarded as a fluke to escape with their lives.
Jebtsundamba VIII couldn't help but be frightened, he didn't expect these two strange cars to be so powerful that they could easily defuse the attack of the Mongol army. At this moment, the two tanks slowly started, making a roar of mechanical friction, and advanced towards Jebtsundamba VIII and his party.
This can scare Jebtsundamba VIII very much, because without the traction of cattle and horses, this car can actually start on its own, in the concept of these people, it is basically equivalent to the demon law, Jebzundamba VIII did not think very carefully, and said in a trembling voice: "Hurry, hurry, withdraw first, retreat." ”
So everyone had to retreat to the summer palace and close the palace gate, and the two tanks saw that Jebtsundamba VIII and his party were forced back into the summer palace, so they stopped pressing and retreated to the intersection.
But when he returned to the summer palace again, the situation was very different, at this time the People's Army had occupied most of the summer palace, and even the main hall of Jebtsundamba VIII was occupied by the KPA, so Jebtsundamba VIII and others could only temporarily hide in a side hall to breathe. It's just that although there are many dead and wounded soldiers in their group, there are still dozens of people, and the target is naturally extremely conspicuous, not to mention that after Jebtsundamba VIII and others hid in the side hall, soldiers were also arranged to guard the periphery of the side hall, which is simply to tell the People's Army that there are people here, or very prominent people.
So the People's Army quickly gathered 3 tanks and more than 40 soldiers in a platoon to besiege this side hall. Although more than 20 soldiers were placed on the perimeter to guard it, under the siege of three tanks as the main force, most of the soldiers guarding the perimeter were quickly killed and wounded, and the remaining soldiers also hid in the side hall.
At this time, the three tanks were in the shape of a "product", surrounding the side hall, if the main guns were fired, the side hall and the people inside could not escape life, but the platoon commander Yang Fei's mind was still sober at this time, and he also knew that the people hiding in the side hall were by no means idle people, and there must be a few big fish in it, so he ordered the other two tanks not to fire, but to let the soldiers shout and let the people inside come out and surrender.
Jebtsundamba VIII and others were already desperate at this time, but they surrendered like this, but they were a little unwilling, Bi Jing before this, whether it was the Qing court or Russia, he was still very respectful, although Jebzundamba VIII also knew that the Qing court and Russia were using themselves to control Mongolia, so at this time they felt that they still had some capital, but they heard some of the style of East China **, which was very different from the Qing court and Russia, supporting ordinary herdsmen, suppressing the powerful, The head man, whether he will still use himself, Jebtsundamba VIII did not know the bottom of his heart, so after a brief discussion, Jebtsundamba VIII decided to send a monk to negotiate with the people's army, hoping that he could surrender with dignity, such as retaining his title and authority as a living Buddha, as well as his influence in Mongolia, and maintaining a certain degree of freedom.
Of course, Yang Fei could not accept such conditions, reply to them directly, he could only surrender unconditionally, he was not qualified to negotiate conditions, if he refused to surrender, there was only a dead end, and in order to intimidate Jebtsundamba VIII and others, Yang Fei ordered the infantry to throw their hands ** to the side hall, of course, just the hands ** Thrown on the periphery of the side hall, not thrown into the side hall, after all, Yang Fei still hopes to catch it alive, and at the same time, Yang Fei also decided that if this trick can't scare the people in the hall, he will send soldiers to rush into the hall to catch people, although this may be accidentally injured, but he can always catch a few big fish.
However, Yang Fei's worries were still a little redundant, 2 or 30 hands ** exploded outside the side hall, but the hall still suffered a lot of impact, not only the doors and windows were broken, but also the roof tiles fell off a lot, injuring many people. Jebtsundamba VIII and others were also terrified, knowing that the People's Army was not a word of intimidation, but a real thing, and if they did not surrender again, the People's Army would really not show mercy. Therefore, Jebtsundamba VIII could only accept the terms of the KPA and surrender unconditionally.
Seeing that the people in the palace chose to surrender, Yang Fei was also very happy, and when he asked again, he found that he had caught the biggest fish, and it was also the family of Jebu Tsundamba VIII, with his wife and children. Of course, Yang Fei's heart was also slanderous about Jebu Zundamba VIII, what kind of monk is this, not only blatantly married a wife, but also gave birth to a son in a grand manner, such a person is actually respected as the religious leader of Mongolia.
In fact, Jebtsundamba VIII married a wife and had children before he became a monk, because Jebtsundamba Hutuktu was also reincarnated, and this life happened to fall on his head, so he became Jebtsundamba VIII. The Mongols did not react to the wife and children of Jebtsundamba VIII, but respected his wife as a female living Buddha and his son as Yalgu Sanhu Tuktu. Of course, it is indecent for religious personnel to marry wives and have children, although the Mongols can not care, but the Qing court cannot but pay attention to the influence, but it cannot force Jebtsundamba VIII to leave his wife and abandon his children, so in the name of her being a female disciple of Jebtsundamba, she was crowned with the name of "Chahandara". Just fool around and forget it.
Of course, Yang Fei didn't know these inside information, but he also knew that Jebu Tsundamba VIII was an extremely important captive to East China, but he could not afford to lose, so after accepting the surrender of Jebu Tsundamba VIII, Yang Fei imprisoned the three of them in the side hall, leaving only two little monks to accompany them, and the other captives were placed separately, and sent soldiers to guard the side hall closely, and then sent someone to inform Chen Jingang.
