The three words "Uygur" have produced a strong chemical reaction in the whole of Xinjiang from east to west and from north to south of Xinjiang.

Originally, "the world is one family", but overnight, "you Bai Yanhu are Hui, you Agubai are Andijan, I ...... It's Uyghurs. ”

"Uyghur" is a name that the Xinjiang Hui cannot refuse, and accepting this name means accepting the huge legal system of the name "King James Approval".

In this way...... How can you still be from the outside of the court, from the outside of the ...... China?

At that time, Xinjiang and Gansu were still freezing cold, and the army of the Western Expedition still needed to wait for the spring flowers to bloom before they could march, but Zuo Zongtang did not waste a day of time and used this edict to make a big article to attack the heart.

The basic tone is like this: Uygur people, Jiumu sanctification, Ping Fan Xiqi, and Han, Manchu, Mongolian, Tibetan, and Hui, all of them are Chinese children, sincere mothers, and siblings! That Bai Yanhu, without a king and a father, is a deer who pecks at his mother's eyeballs; That Agubai, who is not of my race, invaded the homeland of my people, enslaved the children of my people, robbed me of the jade silk of the people, and acted as a wolf, and there were many crimes, and it was difficult to write! How can the Uyghurs get involved with them? Isn't that a confession of a thief as a father?

My confused Uyghur brothers, wake up and turn around and return to the warm embrace of ****!

And so on, balabala.

With the blessing of the beautiful name "Uyghur", this set of rhetoric is heard in the ears of Uyghurs in Xinjiang - both upper and lower classes. I feel quite tempting. And the situation in Xinjiang at that time. It's more like the wind taking advantage of the fire. Let Zuo Zongtang's propaganda war take effect.

Before the Western Expedition entered Xinjiang, the situation in southern Xinjiang had undergone major changes, and it was no longer a situation in which the four heroes of Yarkand, Hotan, Kucha, and Kashgar stood side by side and attacked each other.

Among the four heroes, the most fierce is Aguba's "Zhedeshar Khanate" with Kashgar as its base camp, but Aguba certainly has two brushes. But he is an outsider, he does not have his own basic plate, his strength is actually limited, and he has not been able to achieve decisive results in several expeditions against Yarkand and Kucha.

The turnaround occurred when 7,000 remnants of the Kokand Army entered Xinjiang.

This army, in fact, suffered defeat under the Russians, and was driven over by the Russians, and one by one they lost their armor. It's a mess - but it's a regular army. Aguba is like a treasure. After reorganizing these "relatives from the motherland", they were sent back to the battlefield, and this time, Yarkand was taken in one fell swoop.

In order to avenge the losses suffered by Yarkand before, Aguba slaughtered his troops, and Yarkand was bleeding like a river.

After that, in the name of going to Hotan to worship, Agubai lured Hotan's "Pasha" Habibullah to open the city, and easily held Hotan in the palm of his hand.

The occupation of Hotan did not go through a fierce battle, but the story of Yarkand was repeated, the Kokand soldiers were addicted to killing, and once again slaughtered the city, for five days and five nights, Hotan was drowned in a pool of blood, and was miserable, even more than Yarkand.

Now, only the Recidin of Kuqa remains.

Residin also knew that it was time for life and death, and he decided not to wait for Aguba to attack, and strike preemptively, catching Aguba by surprise.

Rexidin's plan was to attack in two directions, all the way out of Aksu to the west, and directly attack Kashgar; All the way out of Kucha to the south, attack Yarkand. Attacking Yarkand on this way, after succeeding, he turned around and went north, and the way out of Aksu joined Kashgar to have a "north-south attack" and take Agubai's lair in one fell swoop.

This plan "looks beautiful", but with Kucha's low organizational skills, its implementation is full of loopholes.

The westward road was intercepted by Agubai halfway, and Agubai took advantage of the situation to occupy Aksu, and took advantage of the victory to advance eastward and force Kucha; On the way south, before he reached Yarkand, he received the news of the disastrous defeat of the Western Route Army, so he dispersed in a hurry.

Residin had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead the little remaining troops to meet Aguba. The two sides fought a decisive battle at Baicheng, and the outcome was unsuspenseful, with the entire army of Recidin being annihilated, and Aguba entering and occupying Kucha and Karasar.

At this point, Agubo has unified southern Xinjiang.

He immediately set his sights on the northern frontier.

At this time, there were two major forces in northern Xinjiang.

One in the west is Taranzi, with Ili as the center. This guy, relying on the remote northwest corner, for a while, no one can whip him, but he is a self-proclaimed "sultan", closed the door, and is the king and hegemon.

One of the eastern ones is the Tu De Lu centered on Urumqi, and this person gives himself the title of An, which is nondescript, and is called "Halal King".

In addition, it is a limited number of strongholds of the imperial court in the northern Xinjiang, which are cramped at the north and east ends, including Tacheng and the ancient city at the north end, and Balikun and Hami at the east end, among which, Hami borders Gansu.

After the fall of Xinjiang, the sporadic battles between the imperial court and the rebels were basically a petty fight with the emperor.

By the way, there is another one: Bai Yanhu.

After Bai Yanhu entered Xinjiang, he arrived at Manas, not far west of Urumqi, and set up camp, set up camp, set up a village, and did not leave again.

That is to say, Bai Yanhu is nesting on the territory of Tu Dexuan.

Nominally, Bai Yanhu is "sheltering" Yu Tuodexuan, but in fact, both sides are very wary of each other.

When they were in Jinjibao, Bai Yanhu and Ma Hualong, in terms of background, were serious fellow clansmen; In terms of teaching affairs, Ma Hualong, who is in charge of the "Zhehe Renye" faction, is the leader of Bai Yanhu. Shaanxi and Gansu are in turmoil, Shaanxi and Gansu have always supported each other - such a close relationship, Bai and Ma still can't avoid mutual suspicion, not to mention Proper Dexuan?

I am neither of the same race nor of the same clan as you, nor have I ever dealt with you before, but I have heard that you are "cunning and fierce" - who knows if you will come here this time...... The dove occupies the magpie's nest?

Tuo Dexuan is really not a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain.

The army of the imperial court, whether it will enter Xinjiang and when. A group of local tyrants in Xinjiang. In fact, most of them are ignorant - including Aguba. This. Bai Yanhu, an outsider, is more sober than any local native: the army of the imperial court will definitely enter Xinjiang - when? Just after the warm spring of the new year!

In order to fight against the imperial army, Bai Yanhu needed two things: first, territory; Second, allies.

Only when there is land can there be food, military salaries, and soldiers.

If you have allies, you won't be alone - your own men. There were only a thousand or several hundred people left, and there was no possibility of resisting the Western Expedition army alone.

The territory of Xinjiang is naturally far wider than that of Shaanxi and Gansu, but many places are Hanhai Gobi and do not produce anything, and there are not many places that can really be used as a base area.

The most important thing is to look ahead. All the land that can be occupied has been occupied by others.

Under somebody's roof. Eating is not a long-term solution.

Therefore, in order to have a real place to live, I had no choice but to rob it.

In Xinjiang at the moment, no matter whose territory is grabbed, there is no need to feel any guilt. This is because, firstly, I am not related to anyone here; Second, the territory of this group of grass-headed kings was originally snatched back - those who robbed the court and other grass-headed kings.

In that case, then, who is it better to rob?

Ili is a "land", but unfortunately it is too far away, and the situation over there is not very clear. What about going south? It's even more impossible, Agubo has already dominated southern Xinjiang, and there is no place for his own involvement.

Then, there is only the Todrin next to the couch.

Originally, people took you in, but you in turn occupied the magpie's nest, which is unreasonable, but - in this world, where is there any reason?

must be reasonable, you have to say this: this guy is cowardly and useless, he can't make a big deal at all, as soon as the imperial army arrives, he will immediately fall apart, and he will be blind to such a good piece of territory in Urumqi! In this case, why don't you just give it to me, can it be regarded as a little dedication to the "great cause of revitalizing education"?

As for Aguba? Naturally, it is the best choice for the "allies". When he takes Urumqi, he can join forces with Agubai, one north and one south, plus the forces behind Agubai, this time, hum, it may not be able to withstand the imperial court's westward expedition army!

The forces behind Aguba?

During the period of Kashgar, Yarkand, Kucha, and Hotan's "four heroes competing for hegemony", Agubai was never able to win the opponent, and once sought foreign aid from all sides.

He went to the British first. However, unlike the original time and space, there is an extra Guan Zhuofan between the British and Xinjiang. At that time, the relationship between the British and Guan Zhuofan, that is, with China, was heating up, and they were reluctant to rush into Xinjiang affairs. Besides, at that time, Agubai only occupied a piece of Kashgar, and he didn't see any great future, so he didn't pay attention to him.

Aguba hit a nail in the hands of the British and turned to the Russians.

Although it is said that the Russians at that time were pumping out their motherland, Kokand, but what about the relationship between gods and horses? Anyway, I don't plan to go back to the "motherland", my future is in Xinjiang, not in Kokand.

The Russians were very interested, but, as Guan Zhuofan analyzed, at that time, the Russians had not yet eaten all of Kokand, and they crossed Kokand and directly reached into southern Xinjiang, which was beyond their strength; In addition, the Russians, like the British, could not see the development of the situation in southern Xinjiang and did not want to put all the treasure on Aguba alone, so they only gave Aguba "symbolic" assistance.

Unable to get the gist from the Russians, Aguba did not give up, and hooked up with the "Great Vizier" of Ottoman Turkey, that is, the prime minister, and pledged his loyalty to the great Sultan.

It's a good thing that someone is "attached to the table" - but, excuse me, where are you?

In the end, Agubai still relied on the 7,000 remnants of the "motherland" that he never planned to return to to flatten Yarkand, Khotan, and Kucha and unify southern Xinjiang.

Now, the attitude of the "outside" is very different.

The Russians were the most active, sending a mission, carrying a letter from Alexander II and a large number of weapons, to Kashgar.

As soon as Aguba saw these weapons—15,000 rifles, 10 mountain cannons, and 2,500 shells—his eyes turned green, and he immediately signed a "Kashgar Treaty" with the Russians, stipulating that Russians could freely enter and leave Xinjiang, that Russian goods could circulate freely in Xinjiang, that Russia could send consuls to Xinjiang, and that they could enjoy extraterritoriality, and so on.

In his reply to Alexander II, Aguba said "with great enthusiasm": "The Tsar is like the sun, and under the light of your Hexi sun, a poor man like me can grow and prosper." ”

The Russians promised to provide Aguba with equipment to build ordnance and build a military factory.

A small number of officers in the mission remained, and an advisory group was formed to help Aguba train the army.

The British were still hesitating, but since they were ahead of the Russians, there was nothing to hesitate about: what the Russians supported, we had to oppose!

To this end, Ali Guo visited Guan Zhuofan.

May I ask Your Royal Highness, does the Chinese government plan to send troops into Xinjiang to quell the rebellion?

Guan Zhuofan said: The Chinese Government's determination to safeguard the integrity of the country's territorial sovereignty is "as solid as a rock" -- at the beginning of the new year, the army of the Western Expedition stationed in Tun and Gansu is about to enter Xinjiang.

The British say, "It's good, it's good, so I ask you, what help do you need from Her Majesty's Government?" - You know, we British, on the other side of Central Asia, still have a lot of tricks.

Thanks to your kindness, direct assistance is not necessary, but if you have any information there, we can share it.

Okay, okay, just do it, do it.

The Russians drank the soup, and the Ottoman Turks were not left behind.

After laughing at Aguba's "tribute" - nine Mongolian horses, nine Kazakh horses, nine virgins, and nine virgins, the Ottoman Turkish Sultan Abdul. Aziz, named Aguba as "Emir" - this title, in the **** world, is still quite a bit weighty, because the Ottoman Turkish Sultan is also the caliph of ****, so his canonization makes Aguba have enough legitimacy in the **** teachings.

In addition to the title of "emir", the Ottomans also sent a mission back to Kashgar in the same way as the Russians: a considerable amount of weapons and ammunition, as well as political and military advisers.

With the support of the two big leaders of Russia and Ottoman Turkey, with a large number of guns and ammunition, and with the "righteous name" of the "emir", Aguba felt that his waist was thick and fat, and the so-called "armed with sharp weapons, murderous intentions arise", when he looked north, he was arrogant -

I want to dominate the whole territory!

Agu Bai and Bai Yanhu quickly met each other.

Bai Yanhu's fame, Agu Bai has long heard of it, and knows that this is an extremely rare warrior. Moreover, Bai Yanhu is familiar with the situation in China, and if he accepts this person for his own use, in the future, if there is any conflict with China, it will be an excellent help.

Agu Bai slightly revealed the intention of solicitation, and Bai Yanhu expressed his willingness to die for the "emir" and go to the soup to fight the fire.
