The officers and soldiers of the cavalry brigade with sabers in their hands rushed through the "city wall" of the fence in the south of the city, which was only 2 meters high, and they did not pay any attention to the Mongolian troops who knelt down and surrendered, but some of the uninteresting soldiers who knelt on the road were cut off without hesitation---- just because they delayed the way of the advance of the large army!

The defenders in the east of the city soon heard a loud noise from behind, and Zhang Chengde's troops copied the rear road of the Mongolian army with lightning speed. Guo Songling gave the order for a general attack, and after the infantry regiment was unwilling to be defeated, it shouted and charged on the whole line.

The Mongolian army was finally in chaos, and in the face of the crusading army, they already lacked moral strength, and when there was no hope of victory, they chose to abandon their guns and surrender. Seeing that the situation was not in order, Bokdogg abandoned his troops and fled north, surrounded by the royal guards.

The battle lasted only three hours before it ended successfully, of which the real battle lasted only half an hour, and the rest of the time was spent on capturing prisoners. Taking stock of the battlefield, the "Anmeng Army" captured more than 13,000 prisoners, killed more than 2,000 people, and estimated that about several hundred people were killed or wounded in the south of the city. The casualties of the side were only 100, which was a big victory.

Guo Songling was not in a hurry to attack, he arranged to rest in place, while sending troops to guard the passes in the east and south of the city, and at the same time arranging scouts to pay attention to the movements of the Mongolian army. According to the previous conclusions of several people, he knew that the large-scale armed struggle was over, and the rest was a matter of literature.

Sure enough, after lunch, the sentinels reported that Jebtsundamba had sent his envoy, Foreign Minister Lonchige, to discuss the truce. Zhang Hanqing smiled coldly and said, "Bring it in." ”

After a short time, the guards led a middle-aged official in a Mongolian formal uniform into the general headquarters of the "Anmeng Army". Longqige made a Mongolian salute to everyone and others, and said to Zhang Hanqing: "Your Excellency Honorable Young Marshal, Khutuktu Khan has sent me to inform you that Khutuktu Khan has requested the dissolution of the Mongolian independent government, and we will immediately send a telegram to the central government. ”

Zhang Hanqing sneered and said: "No, there is no truce, only surrender!" After losing the battle, you will ask for peace and a truce? Don't! All Mongol armies must surrender in their entirety! Why didn't that so-called Living Buddha come to see me? Those responsible for this incident must be held accountable! ”

Long Qige was furious, and he said: "The descendants of the Immortal Heaven will never surrender, Living Buddha Venerable, how can you be so disrespectful!" ”

Zhang Hanqing received modern education, what kind of living Buddha do you believe? The living Buddha of Tibet, who is roaring with ox X, is not the same as being driven out of his lair, taking the four seas as his "home", and seeing that he has no place to be buried? This so-called "first distant ancestor" of the living Buddha of Jebtsundamba ---- recognized by the Fifth Dalai Lama, Lobsang Gyatso. It seems that there is information that the transmission of the living Buddha system needs to be canonized by the Qing emperor and recognized by the Tibetan Dalai Lama before it can take effect, in this case, as the representative of the central government, he does not recognize his religious status, then he is still a fart.

He spread his hands and said to Longqige, "What is the Living Buddha of Jebtsundamba!" He is a Buddha to you, and to me he is just a Russian lackey who divides the country! Without the canonization of the central government, he is still living in a dilapidated yurt and worrying about the whereabouts of three meals a day! It doesn't matter if you surrender or not, to borrow a famous phrase from your Genghis Khan: 'If you want to fight, you will fight'. Please go back, we'll see you when we're done. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, he came to a conclusion: in order to obtain the long-term belonging of Mongolia, iron-blooded means are indispensable. The central government has given enough privileges to Outer Mongolia, but these people still have a hard time filling their desires. Only by getting rid of those separatists who are determined to go to the ground can we completely restore a clear sky to Outer Mongolia.

Ronchige trembled with anger, and although he spoke hard, his heart was panicked. It was expected to be supported so that the Russian support forces could arrive. How do you know that the strength of nearly 3 brigades in the east of the city will be exhausted in a few hours. Otherwise, the Cabinet would not be in a hurry to call for a truce. He hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, young marshal, I have come this time to follow the teachings of the Living Buddha, and the two sides have suspended their troops to recuperate. Please don't start another war. ”

Zhang Hanqing was unmoved and said, "Your teachings of the Living Buddha are useless to me!" I stress once again that all Mongolian troops should surrender immediately and unconditionally, and all officials of the puppet Mongolian government should be put on trial, which is the basis for negotiations between the two sides, otherwise, the 'Anmeng army' will kill all the forces that dare to resist, and the upper echelons of the Mongolian army and the government will be severely held responsible! You bring the original words and give a reply within 2 hours. ”

There was still half an hour left in the ultimatum, and Zhang Hanqing was a little uneasy. When it comes to ethnic and religious issues, it has always been a major issue in China. Ammon is necessary, but if this goal is achieved by bloody means, it is not in line with the need for long-term peace and stability. After all, angry words can be said, but if you want to naturalize the people living in this land, the Huairou policy is indispensable, and he is not mentally prepared to let the blood flow here.

Guo Songling comforted him with confidence: "Young marshal, there will be good news later." Brigade Commander Ji has already arranged the battle on the front line, and in case nothing happens, we are sure that we will completely annihilate the Mongolian army within half an hour. I think that anyone with a little brain will know that continuing to fight will not lead to good results for them. Zhang Hanqing secretly thought to himself, thinking that he was too composed. I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, something that is sure of the snack, and I'm afraid that he will fly away?

Facts have verified Guo Songling's words. When Longzig brought Zhang Hanqing's original words, there was silence in the prime minister's office. Originally, everyone was confident in the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian army, but they were unexpectedly killed in seconds, and Bokdog, who claimed to be the Mongolian god of war before the war, didn't even have a shadow, and he didn't know whether he was killed in battle, captured or escaped.

The eyes of a group of blindfolded people, all staring at Badma to see how he decided.

It is true that Badma is the prime minister, but this "prime minister" has less than a million people, and the most important military and religious power is not in his hands, and he is at most the front desk of the living Buddha to govern the world.

A few months ago, he was happily revered by 10,000 people, but now he feels the pressure intensely. He understands the truth of "capture the thief and capture the king first", the Anmeng army has such a big battle, and it is also a long time to introduce a few responsible persons after the war, as the largest official position among all people, he bears the brunt. So, he said: "The damn Bochdog, even if he were given 30,000 horses, would not have been caught in such a short time!" ”

He forgot, they all say that Ma Tong is human, but after all, he is not human. As a human being, it is instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but horses can't do it. Many of the Mongolian troops on the battlefield surrendered to the Anmeng army on their own initiative and in groups, and it didn't take much time to capture the prisoners, but it took as much as two hours to catch the horses!

But just complaining is useless, Badma looked at the living Buddha, and the living Buddha who had stepped down from the altar was now like an old monk in meditation, immersed in his personal world.

He turned to Longzig, who had seen the might of the Anmeng army with his own eyes: "Bokdogg is useless, and we are not opponents, so it is better to avoid war." At most, we will abolish autonomy, but we have nothing to lose. I did this a few years ago, and in the end, I didn't do it in a hurry? And if you don't get away with the enemy, such an army is useless if you keep your heart blocked, and it's better to be single. ”

Badma bowed his head, and a big defeat within two hours completely crushed his spirit, qi, and spirit, and he couldn't hold his breath first. After a short period of consultations, the "Prime Minister" Badma Dorji finally decided to accept the "Anmeng Army" and ordered all Mongolian troops to disarm.

On the morning of the same day, Ji Yiqiao entered the city of Hulun with a cavalry regiment and a regiment of infantry under the division, and marched directly to the four directions to take over the Mongolian army's defense. In order to show his strength, Zhang Hanqing ingeniously held a ceremony to enter the city, and ordered all the officials of the Mongolian Autonomous Government to line up at the gate of the city to greet him.

Zhang Chengde's cavalry brigade was the vanguard. When they saw the cavalry of the "Anmeng Army" stepping through the city gate one by one with vigorous riding posture and neat military horses, with high fighting spirit, everyone in the surrendered Kulun City was throbbing with the noisy sound of horses' hooves. And when the cannons slowly advanced under the tow of six war horses, they couldn't help but be amazed by their mighty appearance. The soldiers who were lucky enough to escape under the guns were fearful, with complicated expressions in their eyes.

The weapons of Mongolia are all old goods left over from the Manchu garrison before the Republic of China, and even many soldiers still use firearms. There are a few "red-coated cannons" as antiques, but there are basically no cannons in the modern sense, and there are basically no decent weapons after the Republic of China. Because Mongolia's industry is almost zero, there is no possibility of self-development. What's more, any industry, especially heavy industry, needs sufficient water to ensure that Mongolia is a serious water shortage area! This is also one of the reasons why the Mongol army was almost powerless to fight back under the blows of the well-equipped "Anmeng army".

After the first regiment of the army, there was a battalion of guards under the command of the "Anmeng Army". Zhang Hanqing was under heavy and strict protection, and along the way, he could only see more and more crowds gathering in the distance and unsightly trees on both sides of the street. He went out of the "country" for the first time since prehistory, and everything here felt familiar and strange at the same time.

There are almost no trees in Kulun, perhaps because of the climate, or because of the plateau. Occasionally, I see a few poplar trees, not to mention that they are not tall, they are all half-dead, and the heads of the trees are basically dead, without exception. The elm tree is very moist, which reminds Zhang Hanqing of some areas with poor natural conditions in Xinjiang, northern Shaanxi, and Inner Mongolia, where elm trees are also widely distributed. After Mr. Mao Dun wrote "In Praise of the Poplar", perhaps he should write a "Praise of the Elm Tree". A tree with such a strong ability to survive is worthy of praise. I don't understand why the Mongolians don't regard the elm tree as a green tree, but I remember that the green tree in some streets of Urumqi and Lanzhou is the number of elms, which is very lush. "When you have time, you must plant some elm trees in the city, and plant more trees to block the wind and sand." He thought to himself.

A gust of wind rose, and the wind and sand brought up fascinated Zhang Hanqing's eyes, and he rubbed the sand that blew into his eyes vigorously, and secretly thought, how can I use to rub the sand out of Mongolia's eyes forever?
