After exterminating the Gansu horse bandits, the second master finally let go of a piece of heart disease.

After the clearance troops rested for a while, the second master left the New Third Army behind to continue their task of protecting the road and supervising the follow-up construction of the township primary school.

The New First Army quickly advanced to the northwest of the Hexi Corridor, and this time the New First Army no longer swept along the road.

It's late June, and winter in Xinjiang is only five months away.

Therefore, the troops entering Xinjiang had to reach the Ili area, which is now the area of Yining City, by August. Because the Ili region is about to enter winter at the end of November every year.

The reason why Governor Zhang Dadu chose the location of the Overseer's Mansion in the Ili region was because the mouth of the Ili River was the main entrance to the Tsarist invasion of Xinjiang.

(At this time, there was no state of Kazakhstan, and in later generations, the area beyond the border between China and Kazakhstan is now the territory of Tsarist Russia.)

At the end of the 15th century, the territory of the Kazakh Khanate was formed, which was divided into the Great Horde, the Middle Horde, and the Small Horde.

At the beginning of the 16th century, Kazakh tribes were basically formed.

In the thirties and forties of the 18th century, the small and medium tents were incorporated into the Russian Empire.

After the middle of the 19th century, the whole territory of Kazakhstan was under Russian rule.

On October 25, 1990, it was renamed the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Independence was officially declared on 16 December 1991.

This is the origin of the State of Kazakhstan. ）

So in 1915, there was no such country as Kazakhstan. At this time, bordering the mouth of the Ili River was Tsarist Russia. The second master chose here to monitor the movements of Tsarist Russia nearby.

Another reason is that the Ili region is one of the most abundant water systems in arid Xinjiang.

With abundant water sources, there will be unlimited space for development.

The reason why the second master was in a hurry to enter Xinjiang was to take the opportunity to recapture a large area of land occupied by China during the chaotic period of the October Revolution in Russia in 1917.

In modern times, Russia alone has occupied 1.51 million square kilometers of Chinese territory.

And the Ili region is the best way to enter Tsarist Russia.

In total, China has lost more than 5 million square kilometers of land in modern times.

After reading the information of later generations, the second master couldn't help sighing, there are too many losers in modern China, which makes people feel that "the cub sells the master's field and is not distressed"!

Therefore, the second master always thinks about snatching the historical window period of World War I and World War II, starting from Central Asia, and gradually recovering the lost territory.

The Ili region of Xinjiang enters the winter season in mid-November every year.

After entering Xinjiang, the troops must make preparations for the winter by the end of October.

Fortunately, there is everything in the second master's space, and the troops have nothing to prepare. Just build a barracks for the winter.

After exterminating the Gansu horse bandits, the second master had no heart to continue to ink on the road. Those small bandits can be handed over to the follow-up New Third Army, and the New First Army must hurry up.

Because after the largest horse bandits were jointly exterminated by the New First Army and the New Third Army, the bandits in the northwest region fled when they heard the news.

The bandits unanimously thought that King Zhang Yan was not easy to mess with!

Because they heard that King Zhang Yan treated the bandits to the end and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. In this case, you can't just provoke it, you have to hide far away, so that this King Zhang Yan can't be checked, it will be safer!

Because of this, the New First Army has been safe and unhindered all the way, coupled with the student soldiers' adaptation and physical improvement in the past six months, the marching speed of the New First Army has been greatly improved.

It took only one day to reach the New First Army in Lanzhou, the capital of Gansu Province, from Hezhou, and it has to be said that this group of student soldiers improved very quickly.

This is also related to the high-quality food of the New First Army.

In order to improve the physical fitness of all the soldiers as soon as possible, the second master not only had meat in the meal every day, but also regularly gave all the officers and soldiers "ginger syrup" to drink under the pretext of epidemic prevention disease.

Therefore, since the departure from Beijing, not a single column of the New First Army has been reduced due to illness.

The second master has invested so much, it is because these 60,000 student soldiers are all educated and idealistic Chinese young people in the new era.

There are very few unpatriotic young students in this era, and because of China's history of being humiliated by foreign powers in modern times, these young students feel the same way! Therefore, young students have a heart of dedication to serve the country.

The second master also saw this correctly, so he regarded these student babies as the core strength of his group and carefully cultivated them.

They are the Chinese version of the "Young Officers' Corps".

After entering the Hexi Corridor, the New First Army accelerated its march again. Finally, when they reached Guazhou, the westernmost part of Gansu, Governor Zhang Dadu ordered the troops to stop advancing and make a short repair before entering Xinjiang.

Because out of Guazhou, he entered the Lop Nur area in Xinjiang.

At this time, there was still water in the low-lying lake area of Lop Nur. However, it is salty water that cannot be quoted.

Therefore, the troops must replenish sufficient water sources in Kuazhou. Although the second master is a self-propelled reservoir, the space can store water infinitely.

However, after the troops enter Xinjiang, they will be stationed in different divisions.

Therefore, the divisions will not follow the same line. Another one, a short repair, is also to wait for the arrival of the 300,000 newly recruited Sanqin disciples.

After the two divisions converge, the second master will still adopt the model of using the old to lead the new, and distribute 300,000 recruits to various divisions and regiments.

They were stationed at key border defense positions in northern Xinjiang and southern Xinjiang respectively, completely ending the history of borderless defense along Xinjiang's long border.

"Second master! There was a carriage in the back, and it had been following the team since we set off from Xi'an. ”

When Zhang San is no, he always calls his immediate boss by his family name.

At this time, there were only two people in the military tent, he and the second master.

"Who? Not a caravan? ”

The second master didn't care, stared at the map of Xinjiang in his eyes, and asked casually.

"It's just a small pony carriage, not like a businessman, but like a lady."

"Ladies and daughters?"

The second master was surprised, and then he raised his head from the map.

"It's an old man who drives the car, but every time after being stationed, it's two maids who come out to fetch water."

"No one else? How dare a few women go to the West Exit? ”

The second master is even more curious! ~Spies? No way! If it was a spy, Zhang San's guard group would have been wiped out! Can you keep them up to now?

"I sent someone to invite her, and I said that I had invited her to tea. Also tell your subordinates to be polite to others! ”

Xiao Dezi was just right at this time, and brought in the freshly built tea.

"Yes! Be polite and ask someone to come over. ”

Zhang San immediately ran out of the tent. The second master has always done it himself. He doesn't feel comfortable handing it over to someone else.

After a while, Zhang San walked in with a smile on his face. Then he lifted the curtain of the door and shouted to the back:

"Miss Su! The Metropolitan Governor, please! ”

The second master suddenly realized why Zhang San smiled with a thief on his face, it turned out to be an acquaintance!

Speaking of which, this Miss Su is really persistent, she has followed thousands of kilometers all the way, just for an obsession that doesn't know the result?

If it is in peacetime, the second master might as well let himself have an unexpected encounter.

But now, where does he have that leisure. Entering Xinjiang to pacify the contradictions of various factions and ethnic groups is enough for him to be anxious!

What kind of mess do you say you're a young lady with?

"Miss Su! Have a seat! I know what you're here for! I've already explained it to you in Xi'an. I have no intention of stopping my wife and marrying another! So I had to live up to your love. ”

"Uh, yes! Uh, I see you here, there are female soldiers here! Uh, also a soldier, do you say okay? ”

Miss Su Lijun whispered with a blushing face.

"Being a soldier? Does your father know you're coming? ”

The second master has no objection to her being a soldier, although she looks delicate, she can't be a good soldier.

But being a clerk in the army is still more than abundant.

What's more, in his Xinjiang group, the ratio of men and women is seriously imbalanced, with nearly 400,000 singles.

How can this achieve the goal that the second master wants to increase the Han population in Xinjiang to one million within 30 years?

So, recently, the second master has been thinking about where to recruit enough female population.

~~~ It's difficult!

In the Central Plains of China, it has always been a tradition of male dominance and female dominance.

It has always been the men of the family who run away from home, and how many women are allowed to go out to support the family?

Therefore, he Zhang Dadu wanted to count on the interior of the Central Plains to solve the problem of the imbalance between men and women, but he had little hope.

The second master has been planning a plan to snatch the population from the bottom of the kettle for the past few days.

The plan was to take advantage of the chaos in Tsarist Russia during the October Revolution in 1917.

Plunder large numbers of female populations from the most chaotic regions of Russia's sphere of influence, such as Poland, Ukraine, Georgia, Kazakhstan, etc.

Of course, it won't be a plunder by force, and he Zhang Dadu doesn't have that strength yet.

At that time, we can only take advantage of the people in these chaotic areas who are anxious to get out of the chaos, and use the tricks of high-paid recruitment to lure the people in these areas who are eager to get out of their predicament.

It was only in the past few days that this plan gradually took shape in his second master's heart.

So, today I heard that Miss Su wanted to be a soldier. The first thing he considered was the ratio of men and women, and he did not consider the question of suitability at all.

"Miss Su! Let's put it this way! If your father agrees to you to be a soldier, I'll take you!" ”

"Really? I'm going to send someone back to inform my father!" ”

"Don't be that much trouble! Just send a telegram to your father. ”

Since he had sufficient troops, he trained a large number of telegraph personnel and sent them to the provincial capitals as future contact points.

Although none of these personnel have been trained in espionage.

However, when the liaison officers of the offices are still qualified. So Xi'an also has such a contact group.

But what made Su Lijun other than ~ the exchange of telegrams not only did not reassure his father, Professor Su University, to agree to join the army, but his father himself rode straight to Xinjiang.

As a result, the most important Minister of Civil Affairs of the Xinjiang Group was "coerced" by his baby daughter into the thief ship of Governor Zhang Dadu~~~
