The imperial court also wanted to select a fierce general in Mongolia to deal with Guoxing'a, but looking to the north, Mongolia was about to become Guoxing'a. The Xilin Gol League, which has been bagged by Guoxing's pocket, doesn't have to think about it, no one wants to get out the things in Guoxing's mouth, and the key now is to save the last Horqin Three Banners of the Zhelimu League.

The Three Banners of the Left Wing of Horqin are not only the relatives of the imperial court, but also have strong strength, and more importantly, these three banners are the last barrier for Mongolia to resist Goxinga. The three princes of the three banners of the left wing of Horqin are concentrated, and they are also the last three princes of the Six Leagues of Inner Mongolia, and their political significance is really too great. If the court can't even keep the last few princes, the other alliances will be scattered, and who will be willing to work for the court.

The Three Banners of the Left Wing of Horqin are also an important passage for Goxinga to go south, and once these three banners are also occupied by Manchuria, the two alliances of Zhao-Uganda and Zhuo Suotu, which have been seriously sinicized to the south, will definitely be powerless to resist Goxinga. Once Goxinga annexed the Mengdong Four Leagues, the Manchurian army could reach directly under the Great Wall, and the northern barrier of the imperial court was lost. Even if Guoxing'a doesn't break the mouth and go south to the pass, he can rest assured that he can boldly go west, and the situation of Chahar Eight Banners, Alxa League, and Yikezhao League is not as good as that of Xilin Gol League, and it will definitely be swallowed by Guoxing'a. At that time, Guoxing'a was no longer a feudal town in the Qing Dynasty, but pushed history back to the end of the Ming Dynasty, but the Qing Dynasty became the Ming Dynasty, and Guoxing'a became the Emperor Taiji. The imperial court does not have to deal with Li Zicheng, but the current turmoil in the northwest is also intensifying, and it is difficult to say whether Emperor Tongzhi will hang Jingshan.

At present, the top priority of the imperial court is to rescue the three alliances of the left wing of Horqin and curb the pace of Goxinga's southward and westward advance. The Shengjing generals Tepuqin and Rehe were all ordered to march into the Three Banners of the Left Wing of Horqin, and the Qing army also tried their best to avoid conflicts, but they must demolish all the railways in the Three Banners and expel the forces of North Manchuria from the Three Banners.

It was already a little cold on the grassland in autumn, and the herdsman Uliji, wearing a Manchurian-style dogskin hat and a 180-0 denim jacket, was flushed, and drove a group of weak lambs and poor-toothed cattle to the Aoli Buxuan station. These animals are relatively weak, and they will definitely not survive this cold winter, and they will freeze to death in the house, and they will waste a lot of forage in vain. Now rush to the station and sell it to the Manchurians, and you can buy it at a good price.

The person who always goes to the station to trade has taught Uligi a trick, which is a language skill. If Uliji told the truth and said that these were lambs that were weak and afraid of freezing to death, the Manchurians would definitely not give a high price, but if these were all good and tender lambs, the Manchurians would buy them at a high price. The Manchurians were actually very stupid, they didn't know who to listen to, they thought that the Mongols would not deceive people, so they believed whatever the Mongols said.

Uligi doesn't lie, but he just as much as he says that these sheep are tender lambs, after all, they can be sold for a little more! And in fact, lamb and lamb are the same thing, but the time is different, the lamb in summer is tender and good meat, and in winter it is tender meat that is about to freeze to death.

Uliji didn't think the Manchurians were stupid, they were just very sincere. The Manchurians are bold and enthusiastic, and they are also very kind to others, and they have never had a high-minded old man's face. At the beginning of spring, there was just a station, and Uliji trembled and followed a group of clansmen to the station to buy forage, but he couldn't go back when he encountered a snowstorm. The Manchurians warmly let them live in the station, and also took out fine wine and a lot of food that Wuliji had never seen to entertain them, and the iron stove was boiling, it was really a beautiful night.

"Hey! Uliji, are you here to sell livestock? Come over for a cup of tea and a piece of mooncake! It's going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival! Come over for a drink when you have time! As soon as Wu Liji arrived at the entrance of the town next to the station, Xu Youfu, the owner of the grocery store, greeted him warmly. The clothes worn by Wu Liji's family are basically bought in Xu Youfu's store, and Wu Liji often goes to Xu Youfu's store to buy wine and drink when he comes to the town, so Xu Youfu is very familiar with Wu Liji.

"Good! Boss Xu, when I sell my livestock, I'll come to you for a drink! Xu Youfu mentioned moon cakes, which were also food that Uliji had never seen, and Uliji was going to sell his livestock and come back to eat, and by the way, he would bring some to the children at home. Inviting people to eat fresh things is also one of Boss Xu's marketing methods, adults eat fresh, how can they buy some for their children.

"Don't go any further, let's have tea first! There's going to be a fight ahead. Xu Youfu walked down the steps and stopped Wu Liji's horse's head.

"It's fighting again! It's not noon yet, why do you drink too much so early! Have you brought in a great deal of good wine? Uligi dismounted and asked curiously.

Fighting is too common in the eyes of the Mongols, so it's a joke! Under the guise of fighting people's feelings, they will be intimate. The herdsmen love to drink, but if they drink too much of this wine, they will inevitably go crazy, so fights in Mongolian areas are particularly common. There are Manchurian police in the town, they will fight, then calm down the incident, and finally punish the troublemakers, and the handling is very fair, and everyone basically treats it as a joke. This means that in the town, as long as no one lives in the wilderness, no one cares at all. The only thing that surprised Uligi was that it wasn't yet noon, and it wasn't the time for dinner, so why did someone drink too much.

"I didn't drink, I was just making trouble, the police and railroad soldiers all passed, and the battle was not small!" Xu Youfu took Wu Liji's hand and wanted to pull him to his store.

"You help me watch the livestock, I'll go see the excitement!" Uligi didn't want to drink tea, he wanted to go and see the excitement and see if there were any good wrestlers. Uliji and the policeman who was missing three fingers drunk, these veterans are really powerful, obviously their body shape and strength are not as good as Uliji, but they can't find Uliji in the north.

"Pull it down! Stay with me! Guns are used on both sides, and they can be killed at any time, and if someone is going to die, you will be hit by stray bullets again! "Xu Youfu is pulling Wu Liji to death, today is a big battle, this excitement is not easy to see.

"What's going on!" When Wu Liji heard that the gun was moved, he didn't go to see the excitement, he didn't like to be strong, so he obediently ate sweet moon cakes and drank the strong tea handed by Xu Youfu.

"Who knows! A bunch of muddy people came early in the morning, blocking the station, shouting and shouting and not hearing what was said? Xu Youfu gave Wu Liji another cigarette and smoked one himself.

"The police don't care, I won't be able to go home until the afternoon!" Wu Liji felt that the sweet mooncakes were particularly delicious, and he was going to bring a few pieces back to his daughter, but if he couldn't sell his livestock today, he would be delayed.

"The police and the railway soldiers, there are only more than ten people in total, and there are more than 200 people in that gang, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get rid of them for a while!" Xu Youfu is also very worried, the batch of vegetables he has brought in is about to arrive, and if he is delayed in the car for a few days, the rotten vegetable leaves will not be able to sell.

"Alas, it looks like I'm going to have to ask for you today!" Uligi feels like he can't go home today.

"Hehe, I won't keep you yet, you have to go live somewhere else!" Xu Youfu said witty words.

"Lao Xu, you are not a stingy person, why should you drive your friends!" Wu Liji was not angry, he knew that Xu Youfu was joking.

"Look! The newly opened hotel in front of the station has all-day hot water, independent bathroom, flush toilet, soft and clean Western-style bed, only eight cents a night. Don't worry about money my friend, go enjoy a night! I took your sister-in-law to live the day before yesterday, okay! Xu Youfu pointed to a three-story cement building not far away.

"Eight cents, it's too expensive!" Uligi also looked at the inn with curiosity, he had never lived in this kind of house that melted the stone like iron and cast it again.

"It's a bit of a waste to live alone, you might as well stay with me for one night! The next time I bring my younger siblings and children to play, I will go to live again, it is really good! Xu Youfu showed a smile that all men understand.

"Hey, hey! Next time, next time! Uligi smiled shyly.

The two laughed while drinking tea, but a ride on a Kanto horse broke the tranquility of the town's streets. A policeman with blood on his face sat on his horse, roaring loudly as he rode his horse. "Everyone, guys! These eight calves are done! Everyone, guys! ……”

"Holy shit! Uligi help me look after the store! Xu Youfu didn't say a word, turned around and rushed to the counter, took out his rifle, and ran out into the street while loading ammunition.

Xu Youfu turned out to be a native of Rehe, Zhili, and his family suffered a disaster and encountered bandits, so he went to North Manchuria. was assigned to the countryside to farm for two years, and Xu Youfu, who was originally a merchant, was tired of it, and he was not suitable for farming. He applied to the town, gave up the land to the new immigrants, and became a member of the development of western North Manchuria. Light industrial products in Mongolia is not unsellable, so after two years of Xu Youfu made a fortune, he has a warehouse in Jilin, there are two shops in Mongolia, and he is also a successful person, but he still maintains the fierceness when he just entered the west.

The government of North Manchuria did not open up to Mongolia, but the government also supported the development of the western region of the people, not only with policy benefits, but also with the construction of railways to Mongolia. In order to ensure the safety of these pioneer groups, Goxinga drew on the experience of the large-scale development of the western United States in the allocation of police and administrative organs. The town where the station is located is usually staffed by two or three policemen, as well as seven or eight railroad guards who maintain the station, and the residents are kept safe by themselves, except for these official armed men. In case of major events, the sheriff greeted him, and the whole town collectively raised guns and went into battle.

In the development of Mongolia, the members of the pioneer group will inevitably encounter fierce beasts such as wolves and bears, and will also encounter extortion from the officers and soldiers under the command of the Mongolian princes, so the pioneer group needs weapons to protect itself. The United States has been borrowed from the United States in policy, and the same is true in weapons. M1911 became a soldier's pistol, and the large revolver became the standard equipment of the pioneer regiment, this kind of guy with cowboy feelings, was deeply loved by the merchants, because there was never any need to worry about it jamming, and the maintenance was very simple. The rifle is the Winchester 1892 bar-action rifle with the same strong western style, this treasure can be used for large revolver pistol cartridges, with a capacity of up to 15 rounds, a fast rate of fire, high accuracy, and a relatively short barrel that is suitable for use on horseback. The only drawback was that it was not as easy to reload as bolt-action rifles, and its power and range were much smaller, but the merchants did not go to war, they did not have to fight so far, and they rarely had the opportunity to use up fifteen rounds.

With the shouts of the bloodied policemen, more than 100 men, women, and children appeared on the street carrying their pistols and rifles, and then followed the police to the station. The people of Manchuria were already fierce, and Guo Xing'a had been engaged in the militia reserve system in North Manchuria for several years, and more than 85 percent of the population under the age of 50 had received paramilitary training, so the troublemakers were not faced with a group of old and weak women and children, but a group of old and weak women and children armed with advanced weapons and with considerable combat effectiveness.

The so-called troublemakers were actually a group of untrained regular soldiers, who were specially sent by the princes of the Three Banners to sabotage the railroad after receiving orders from the imperial court. However, because I didn't understand the reality of the station, and I had to avoid conflicts, I had to grind for so long, otherwise I would have used force directly. After some probing, it was found that there were only about a dozen armed personnel at the station, and the guards were emboldened and beat the sheriff who took the lead. The sheriff who didn't want to be beaten didn't resist, but left someone to watch them, turned around and left, and the guards of the Flag Guard thought that the Manchurians were strong outside, and they didn't think that the sheriff was going to call someone. More than 200 guards and more than 100 residents of the town confronted each other more than 50 meters apart. The townspeople still know how to organize their formations, find cover, and set up fire points under the command of the sheriff, but the guards are still standing in a group as if they are going to fight.

The sheriff didn't give the order to open fire for a long time, but just showed the guy, proving that he was not easy to mess with. It's not that the sheriff is restrained, but that the military quality of the flag guards is too poor and the clothes are too tattered, and the sheriff treats them as herdsmen who come to make trouble. The passage of the train destroys the turf and disturbs the livestock, so it is not uncommon for herders to come to the station to ask for an explanation, usually to appease them and give them a few cases of wine. There are a lot of guards who came today, and they can't be coaxed, and the sheriff is helpless, he never thought that these guys in tattered clothes were actually the regular army around the prince.

The confrontation did not lead to an exchange of fire, as a group of Mongols helped the sheriff out of the siege. Like Uliji, there are many people who are asked to help by the shopkeeper who knows each other to help look after the shop, but how can the hot-blooded Mongolian men really help people take care of the house, they are all righteous people, and their friends have gone to fight, how can they help. So countless Uligi left the shop, mounted their horses, and began to call friends in the neighborhood. After a while, more than 300 Mongolian heroes were assembled, and they rode horses and bows to support their friends. Because of the lack of preparation, the number of guards was at a disadvantage, and if they continued to make trouble, they would definitely not be able to take advantage of it, so they could only leave in disgrace.

"Uligi, thank you!" Xu Youfu walked back with a gun, saw Wu Liji who came to help, and smiled and thanked him.

"When the train is open, I can sell livestock, don't thank you, we are friends!" Uliji is not yet accustomed to the politeness of the Han people.

"What are you buying this time?" Xu Youfu chatted about leisure again.

"I'd like to buy a stove, like the one you use in the store, it's warm and easy to use!" Ulliji's youngest daughter is particularly afraid of the cold, and the winter in the yurt is really difficult.

"You can get it the day after tomorrow! I'm sold out here. I'll be in the store when I'm gone! Bring some mooncakes back to the kids! Xu Youfu calculated the time when the goods arrived.

Uliji brought back sweet mooncakes, and the children were very happy to eat, and he was going to fetch the stove the day after tomorrow, but the horn sounded in the camp, and Uliji's autumn was destined to be even more difficult than winter.
