"Huh?" Ci'an looked at the white box that Wen Xiang was holding in his hand, and said in a lost voice, "'He'...... Really picky? ”

"After returning to the queen mother," Wen Xiang said bitterly, "King Xuan's mansion is closed, and Prince Xuan's words are transmitted to the door, saying, uh, from today onwards, 'white folds' should no longer be sent to the north side street of Chaonei, lest it ...... Delay in maintenance. ”

"Alas, this, this...... This one is in a hurry! ”

Unlike several big military aircraft, Ci'an did not have a complete understanding of the serious consequences of the forced suspension of the "yellow and white folding system", she just felt at a loss: "That...... So what now? Uh, 'yellow fold'...... It's about already been sent to Zhongcui Palace, but I haven't seen it yet. ”

"Approximately"?

The "Yellow Fold" must have been sent to the Zhongcui Palace by the Internal Affairs Office before Xu Yongyi took the "White Fold" to the four big military planes - how long has it been until now? Still "approximately"?

This shows that the Queen Mother has not read the excerpts seriously for a few days, and she is a little confused about the basic procedures.

As for your "haven't seen it yet", needless to say, it was already expected by us - even if you don't "about", but clearly know when the "Yellow Fold" entered the Zhongcui Palace, you won't look at it.

The four big military planes felt more and more that the situation was serious.

"What to do"?

We don't know.

"The Empress Dowager of Qiyu," Wen Xiang said, "The excerpt is a telegram from Lanzhou, and it is the title of Zuo Zongtang, so it should be a military report from Xinjiang. ”

With that, he stood up, stepped forward, gently placed the white box on top of the imperial case, and then retreated to its original place and knelt down again.

Let's take a look.

Ci'an opened the white box, took out the fold, used an ivory paper cutter to pick open the seal, took out the text, looked at the title first, and looked at it seriously for a while, and the four big military planes waiting were a little anxious, and the queen mother said: "Oh, this trust...... Tuoxun and Turpan ......"

Before the words were finished, the four big military planes were overjoyed!

Originally, some people thought that after the capture of Daban City, they should march to Tuoxun and Turpan, this military report, will it be Tuoxun and Turpan that have been defeated?

However, I thought again, it can't be so fast, right? The twist and turn of the great victory in Dabancheng was received on the day of Emperor Bintian of Daxing, and it was only a few days of hard work?

I never thought it was true!

It was as if the whole day was full of dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and violent storms, and I was almost out of breath, and when I looked up, I finally saw a bright ray of skylight!

The four big military planes couldn't help but secretly breathe a long sigh.

Wen Xiang's psychological pressure is the greatest, therefore, for this good news, he is also the most sensitive and excited, his nose is sour and his eyes are hot, he can't help himself, and hurriedly leaned down, but two tears have oozed out of his eyes, and he quickly wiped his eyes with his sleeve secretly.

Ci'an just raised her head at this time, so Wen Xiang's small action just fell into her eyes, and she couldn't help but be stunned: "Wen Xiang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Wen Xiang kowtowed: "The minister is happy!" Minister...... Lost in honor! Please punish the Queen Mother! ”

Ci'an was slightly stunned, and then her heart swelled with inexplicable emotion and emotion, she sighed softly and didn't say anything.

In the East Warm Pavilion of the Heart Cultivation Palace, it was very quiet for a while.

After a while, Cao Yuying coughed lightly and said: "Tuoxun and Turpan are both ke, northern Xinjiang is determined, and the overall situation of Xinjiang is actually determined!" 'Jin Ou has been lacking and must be filled', the whole territory of Xinjiang is restored, it is just a matter of a little earlier and a little later, and the ministers congratulate the queen mother and the queen mother! ”

The four big military planes kowtowed together.

"'The gold ou is missing and must be filled,'" Ci'an said with a smile, "I remember, yes...... The words in Guan Zhuofan's excerpt before, right? ”

"Yes," Cao Yuying said, "Prince Xuan's words have long been spread all over the world. ”

"Alas," said Ci'an quietly, "this good news, at the moment, I don't know if 'he' knows it?" ”

None of the four military aircraft could answer this question, but the four military aircraft knew it in their hearts: Don't worry, Prince Xuan must "know".

Ci'an came back to his senses, pondered for a while, and said: "The fold is quite long, I'll look at it slowly, it's too time-consuming, you look at it first, you've seen it, what is there, just tell me about it." ”

As he spoke, he pushed the fold forward.

When the hand was retracted, he made a soft "huh" and said, "There is still a 'clip' in the box." ”

While taking out the clip, he said, "You guys look at the excerpt first, and I'll look at this 'clip'." ”

As long as it is not a secret piece, the content of the excerpt can be made public, but the "clip" is not necessarily - it is because some words are inconvenient to write into the excerpt, so it is necessary to get another "clip" out.

Cao Yuying saw that Wen Xiang hadn't reacted yet, so she "came out of the way", stepped forward to take the fold, came back and knelt down, and then handed the fold to Wen Xiang next to him.

On this occasion, they can't push each other, Wen Xiang took it and quickly looked at it.

The speed at which he looked at the excerpt was naturally ten times that of the Queen Mother, and after watching it for a while, he turned around and handed it to Cao Yuying.

Cao Yuying has seen it and handed it to Xu Gengshen, if so, a little more than a quarter of an hour, the four big military planes have seen it.

Dabancheng was victorious, and the rebels lost Dabancheng, a natural barrier to prevent the westward expeditionary army, and the people were panicked.

There is a "slangy" looking phrase in the excerpt called "frying its meat with its oil" – in fact, this is indeed a local proverb in Xinjiang, which means to divide and disintegrate and provoke infighting.

Since the change of "entanglement" to "Uyghur", the Western Expeditionary Army has not officially entered Xinjiang, and has already begun a psychological offensive against the rebels; After the Western Expedition army entered Xinjiang, it only "suppressed" the Kashgar rebels with the Kokand soldiers as the main body, and fought according to the path of "dead and childless"; However, for the local indigenous people in Xinjiang, that is, the Uyghurs, they have used both grace and power, and suppressed and appeased.

When the Uyghurs were captured, not only did they not kill them, but they also "gave them food and clothing, and ordered them to return to their original units, waiting for the officers and troops to advance, or to guide the chieftains to extricate themselves and return." Even, some local natives, after "returning to their original parts", "did not come to their senses" and continued to "resist the heavenly soldiers", so that when they were captured for the second time, the officers and soldiers still did not kill them, but they would give a serious warning: "It will not be more than three things", and if they are captured by the officers and soldiers again, there will be no luck at all.

This practice is very different from the previous brutal killings of Guan Zhuofan Jingshan and Zuo Zongtang Pinggan. At the beginning, the whole army of the Western Expedition did not understand the deep meaning of Prince Xuan and Marshal Zuo, but the military orders were like a mountain, and these regulations, Xuan and the old Hunan army, were seriously implemented, and did not dare to violate them.

Special policies have had special effects.

Before the Western Expedition army entered Xinjiang, the Uyghurs' will to resist began to waver, and the fluctuating hearts of the Todran regime are a good example.

After the western expedition army entered Xinjiang, the local natives in northern Xinjiang, for foreign conquerors such as Agubai and Bai Yanhu, were left with only economic value - heavy taxation and exploitation, and grain collection; Militarily, not only is it not a reliable combat force, but it has even become a heavy burden.

This situation was very obvious in the Urumqi Campaign: Agubai and Bai Yanhu not only did not dare to entrust the local people with important tasks, but also divided their troops to monitor, which greatly disrupted the defensive deployment; As soon as the war started, the local people did not let go of a single shot, and then dispersed in a hurry, and by the way, they also rushed their own positions to pieces.

In the recent Battle of Dabancheng, the local natives sent a large amount of first-hand information to the Western Expeditionary Army, which played an important role in the smooth passage of the official army through the Tianshan Pass and the crossing of the large grass surrounding Dabancheng.

At this point, the whole army of the Western Expedition was impressed by Prince Xuan and Marshal Zuo's foresight, and admired the five-body surrender.

In fact, Guan Zhuofan and Zuo Zongtang's "foresight" in this matter is far more than that.

The local aborigines who were released by the official army received what kind of treatment they received from the official army, and what kind of thoughts they had after returning, Aguba's side also knew very well, so Haigula, Toxun's guard general and Aguba's second son, actually issued such an order: All the local natives who were released by the official army would be executed, so as not to "shake the morale of the army".

The next thing is logical: escaping the capture of Haigula's butcher's knife, running all the way to Daban City, "inviting himself to be the vanguard of the crusade against Ayi and Bai Rebellion"; At the same time, the public representative went to Dabancheng to ask the officials and troops to "quickly wash and suppress" the "Andijan bandits", and said, "The Uyghurs who were sent by Meng Grace to return to the dead have been announced, and the Uyghurs have no doubts and fears, and they are waiting for the officers and soldiers." ”

In this case, after everything was arranged, Zhan Donglu and Liu Jintang took the army on the road.

At the Baiyang River, the Xuan army and the old Hunan army divided their troops, and the old Hunan army marched to the southeast and attacked Turpan; The Xuan army went down to the southwest and smashed Tuoxun.

Xuan's army marched to Xiaocaohu and met the Uyghurs who had fled from Tuoxun, saying that Haigula had abandoned the city and fled westward when he saw that the general situation had gone; Bai Yanhu commanded Shaanxi Hui, burned the fortress, and plundered people and animals.

It is not an accident that Hailagu fled without a fight, but wasn't Bai Yanhu stationed in Turpan with that Yunusjiang River? What did he run to Tuksun to do? Rush to help? Hailagu has abandoned the city, and Bai Yanhu is not entering the city, so what is the "rush" to help?

Besides, what he is doing now is not like "rushing to help" - although the forts around Tuoxun turned against the rebels, after all, he did not take the initiative to attack the rebels, why did Bai Yanhu go to beat people? If you fight down, you can't "resist the danger and hold it"! Those earthen villages, the artillery of the official army, collapsed in a few cannons, this, others don't know, Bai Yanhu doesn't know?

Zhan Donglu quickly made a judgment: Bai Yanhu also planned to escape! What he's doing now is to get a handful of money before leaving!

He knew that Bai Yanhu was the fastest person to get from the prince, and if he was told to escape again this time, Xinjiang was so big, he really didn't know where to find him!

So the order was given, and the whole army marched forward.
