Chapter 143: Troop Build-Up
As soon as you get out of the Great Wall, the scenery is naturally different from the scenery in the Central Plains, and you can really experience the charm of the wind blowing the grass and seeing the cattle and sheep, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.
Since recorded history, it has been the territory of ethnic minorities, and the last to occupy this land is the Mongols.
The Mongols belong to the Donghu ethnic group.
In 209 B.C., Donghu was destroyed by the Xiongnu Maodun Shan Yu, and the Donghu tribes were ruled by the Xiongnu for three centuries.
At the end of the first century to the beginning of the second century, the Xiongnu was broken by the Han Dynasty, and a Xianbei people of the Donghu people migrated from the Huangshui Valley, and the remaining Xiongnu people also called themselves Xianbei, and Xianbei became strong from then on.
In the middle of the fourth century AD, a branch of the Xianbei people living in the area of Huangshui and Laoha River basins called themselves Khitan.
A branch of the Xianbei people who lived in the present-day Hulunbuir area was called Murowei.
The Mongolian tribe is a branch of the Murowei people, which has been recorded in the Tang Dynasty and is called the Mongol Murowei.
According to the "Historical Collection", the Mongol tribe originally included only two clans, the Gusi and the Qiyan.
After being defeated by other Turkic tribes, only two men and two women remained, and they fled to live and live in the mountains along the Ergun River.
In the eastern part of the Inner Mongolian grassland, there is a long river that meanders eastward along the Sino-Russian border, and the river is wide and quiet: the Erguna River. She is considered by the Mongols to be a sacred mother river.
Because of the nourishment of the Erguna River, the Hulunbuir grassland is rich in water and grass, and the hard-working and brave Mongolian people can thrive and grow.
The Mongols originated from the ancient Donghu Mongol Murwei, whose name appeared in Tang Dynasty documents in the seventh century AD.
At that time, the activity was at the northern end of the Great Khingan Mountains in the lower reaches of the Ergun River. Lived a half-hunting, half-nomadic clan social life. The horse is their companion day and night, and the cart is their dwelling.
Around the 9th century AD. The Mughul moved west from the Erguna River and arrived at the area of the Buerhan Mountains at the source of the Hannan River.
After the Tang Dynasty, the Mughul were ruled by the Central Plains Dynasty and the nomadic tribes of Mobei, and their language was mixed with a large number of Turkic vocabulary.
During the Liao Dynasty, the Mongol tribe had gradually become stronger, and many tribes had branched out, including the direct ancestor of Genghis Khan's family, the Qiyan Bo'er Jin clan.
At the beginning of the thirteenth century, in addition to the Mongols, there were many more powerful tribes in the Mongolian steppe.
The most imposing of them is the Tatar Ministry. So much so that the name Tatar once became the collective name of the Mongolian steppe tribes.
Due to the Jin Dynasty's constant provocation of contradictions and vendettas among the Mongolian tribes, the Mongolian steppe at that time was full of profound disasters. In 1189, the nobles of the Qiyan tribe elected Temujin as their leader.
From then on, the Mongol tribes gradually rose to prominence, and after eighteen years of fierce warfare, they finally unified the Mongol tribes in the eastern steppe.
In 1206 A.D., on the Huleri platform held at the source of the Hannan River, the white flag of Jiuyou, which symbolizes majesty and holiness, was erected.
Temujin was elected by the ministries as Genghis Khan, which means the Great Khan of the Sea.
Genghis Khan, a generation of great talents, unified the tribes that had been at war for a long time. The establishment of the world-famous Mongol Khanate on the Mongolian Plateau also marked the final formation of the Mongol national community.
Since then, Mongolia has continued to be the name of the nation, geography, and country to this day.
In modern times, because he is too famous. led the people of all nationalities and fought westward to the banks of the Danube, so the Mongols called themselves the descendants of Genghis Khan.
Mongol Empire period. The present-day state of Mongolia has always been the center of the empire, and its capital is located in Hala Horin, Mongolia.
to the Yuan Dynasty period. After the Mongol ruling center moved south and the province system was created, the present-day Mongolian state belonged to the Lingbei province of the Yuan Dynasty.
End of the 17th century. The Khalkha Mongols were subordinated to the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing government allocated part of the territory from the Tushetu Khan to form the Sainnoyan Tribe.
The Qing Dynasty also implemented the alliance flag system here. During the Qianlong period, a total of 4 leagues and 86 banners were set up in the four Khalkha departments, as well as the two departments of Kobdo and Tangnu Ulianghai.
At the end of 1911, some feudal princes of Mongolia announced the establishment of the Great Mongolia, a feudal theocratic monarchy integrating politics and religion.
They took Gongdai as the era name, and enshrined the 8th Jebtsundam Bahutuktu as emperor.
On June 7, 1915, representatives of China, Russia and Mongolia signed the Sino-Russian-Mongolian Entente, also known as the Kyakhta Entente, after more than eight months of negotiations.
According to the treaty, although the independence of Outer Mongolia was formally abolished, it was renamed autonomy, and China's suzerainty was recognized, but it was only in name.
In November 1919, Xu Shuzheng, a Beiyang warlord of the Anfu faction, went to Mongolia and coerced the feudal upper echelons of Outer Mongolia to abolish their autonomy in just a few days, and set up the Northwest Frontier Embassy of the Republic of China in Kulen, Mongolia, to exercise jurisdiction over Outer Mongolia.
The thirteenth century was the century of the Mongols, who, led by Genghis Khan and his descendants, occupied half the world.
But later, among the Mongolian golden families, the struggle for power and profit became fierce, and the country was weakened from generation to generation.
After losing the occupied areas one after another, Mongolia gradually formed the most remote region of the world, mainly Khalkha people.
At the end of the 17th century, due to the sowing of discord among the Manchus, the contradictions between the Mongol feudal lords intensified, and finally Mongolia fell under the rule of the Manchus.
In 1921, the People's Revolution was victorious, and the Mongols declared their independence to the people of the world.
However, to the north is Soviet Russia, which claims to be the second largest country in the world, and it is the birthplace of modern socialism.
As a socialist country, Mongolia naturally followed behind Soviet Russia and waved its flag and shouted.
However, today's Soviet Russia is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect itself, and Mongolia's socialism is not like four things.
From the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, it has been 70 years, the national living standard is low, deep inland, only animal husbandry is slightly reliable.
But it was surrounded by China and Soviet Russia on all sides, and the people lived in poverty.
Last year's reform gave the country a little more color.
However, their trade dependence on China was strong, as for the Soviet Russians. Now I have no time to take care of myself.
Therefore, Wushan decided to include Mongolia in the territory of China. It's not for nothing.
Otherwise, the rest of the world will be China's territory. They occupy a piece in the middle, a bit like the small countries of Europe such as the Vatican, San Marino and Monaco.
The most ridiculous thing is that as an independent country, Mongolia does not have a formed army.
The total population of a country is just over 2 million, and the Mongolian armed forces have 11,000 active troops, including construction troops and civil defense forces.
Reserve forces army l37,000 people. There are 5,000 paramilitary border troops, 900 internal guard troops, 1,500 construction troops, and 500 civil defense troops.
July 11, 1921. Mongolia declared its independence and, with the massive assistance of Soviet Russia, built up its own army.
Mongolia and Soviet Russia signed a treaty of friendship and mutual assistance in 1936, and the Mongolian army fully accepted the command of Soviet Russia and actually became part of the Soviet army.
In the 60s, Sino-Soviet relations deteriorated, and the Soviet and Mongolian armies held joint exercises with China as an imaginary enemy every year, and the two armies were completely integrated.
Al Gore may not have been a successful national leader, and the reforms he pursued were too drastic. caused a backlash in the union republics.
He was definitely not a stupid man, and he withdrew all Soviet troops from Mongolia, and his foreign military exchanges also underwent a complete change.
Otherwise, even his own life is not guaranteed. The open and covert strife between the republics and the various factions was not the time of Stalin and Khrushchev.
Heaven did not take the opposite and suffered from it, taking advantage of the internal struggle in Soviet Russia. It was returned to China in one fell swoop.
Last March, there was a revolution in Mongolia. To put it bluntly, it is a struggle between factions.
The original political system. Exactly with reference to Soviet Russia. There is only one party in the country, and that is the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party.
And the former head of state, called Jiang Ba? Bad Monkh is the Chairman of the Presidium of the Great Hural.
Pensalma? After Ochirbat came to power, he was not a member of that party, and he only joined the party in a hurry in September last year, which shows how ridiculous this country is.
Originally, Xu Shiyou was going to transfer the troops of a division of the Beijing Military Region, but after careful consideration, it was decided that Wushan and them would go with a group army of the Taishan Military Region.
The commander of this group army is Cao Xueyou's old subordinate, named Zhang Zecheng.
He was very strong, without a trace of a smile on his face, and when he saw Wushan and them, he didn't say too much.
It's also normal, this guy still remembers the military exercises between the mountain brigade and them back then, and even he became a prisoner, so it's no wonder if he is not aggrieved.
Political Commissar Ou Xiangyang, I don't know where it came from, anyway, I haven't heard of this person before.
He is very good at things, and people who don't know how familiar he is with Wushan, how warm he is when he meets, and how warm he is.
In the army group, there were two standing armies and one armored division.
Should the troops be the army? The committee had already issued an order, and within three days, the advance army, that is, the armored division, had all assembled in Erenhot.
Zhang Zecheng led a group of people to hold a meeting in the temporary headquarters, while Wu Shan attended, but did not say a word.
First of all, there was no intersection between the two sides, he took people to carry out tasks, and the army went to garrison.
Although Cao Xueyou's troops have participated in wars, this group army has only trained and trained in peacetime, and has not seen blood.
Seeing the excitement of those crowds, Wushan didn't know what to say.
To tell the truth, in the whole of East Asia, except for China, Annam used to have a relatively large military strength.
Like in another time and space, the Shan rebels dared to call themselves commanders with dozens or hundreds of people, and they felt like bandits who occupied the mountains before liberation.
"Comrades," the district political commissar said sonorously, "the motherland has placed trust in us in this glorious and arduous task. ”
"I know that everyone thinks that Mongolia is a sparsely populated country with a very weak military, which has led to a situation of underestimating the enemy, and I don't want to see that happen."
"In every unit, the Mongolian Provincial Military Sub-district sent personnel to accompany them, after all, they were native Mongolians. So, in every place occupied, let them negotiate. ”
"By the way, does Comrade Saihan have anything else to add?" He turned his head and asked the political commissar of the Mongolian Provincial Military Sub-district who was accompanying him.
Seeing that the other party shook his head, he asked Wushan's opinion again.
only to find that Wu Shan's ears were fluttering again and again, and his eyes looked outside the headquarters. (To be continued......)
